Yes, I know, they disable the Windows OS screen capture. But you run a VMware session where the entire guest OS appears in a single window. Microsoft Windows can't stop Linux from capturing that screen.
In addition to VMware, I'd like to see how it handles a VNC server. Would a VNC client fail to display a protected document? If not, you can screen dump the VNC session.
Screen captures, of course, won't help you with audio files. I assume VMware virtualizes the sound card as well though, so Windows won't stop audio captures there either.
If they think I'm not allowed to lend a game to a friend, surely I am not allowed to invite friends over to play the game. Right?
What they really need is a joystick with a fingerprint scanner to make absolute certain that no one but the authorized person is allowed to play the game.
How does the PCi card work? Do you "dual boot" into Windows or Solaris, or is it more like VMware where both run at the same time? Can you run Windows over X, or do you need to be at the console?

Ah, but when WWIII comes and the military blocks the signals, you'll get automatic energy conservation for the war effort. Probably get a good deal of scrap metal too as people toss the shit out.
My employer gets unpaid interns for the sole purpose of doing the grunt work (mostly data entry). We're very upfront about what you'll be doing (which may not have been the situation in your case), but the interns still have an opportunity to learn.
Even though you may not find yourself doing the work you thought you could, you do have access to people who are doing it. Talk to them. Ask them questions. Learn!
Of the last 3 interns my section had, we hired one, offered a job to another (who took a job at another firm), and another section hired the third. Think of the internship as an extended interview. Make contacts and even if you don't want to work at that company, you can get some nice letters of recommendation and perhaps an inside track at other jobs.
Or you could go around whining and making a pain of yourself and poisoning any future you may have had. It may be too late for that. If I ran a fiber-optic company that had a high school co-op program, I'd be a little suspicious of those students right now.
The only reason the web page is called "secsh" is that there already exists a page called "ssh" at http://www.ietf.org/ids.by.wg/ssh.html (the Site Security Handbook, which is NOT a protocol).
SSH is a protocol for secure remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network. This document describes the SSH Connection Protocol. It provides interactive login sessions, remote execution
of commands, forwarded TCP/IP connections, and forwarded X11 connections. All of these channels are multiplexed into a single encrypted
tunnel. The SSH Connection Protocol has been designed to run on top of
the SSH transport layer and user authentication protocols.

I was responding to someone's claim that Open Source doesn't work as well as commercial software. They claimed that MicroSoft would never fail to support some hardware because they'd loose money if they did. The whole story here, of course, is that Linux must be failing because Linus hasn't updated the 2.4 kernel for PPC. If "commercial" is better because it supports more hardware, you'd think that it would at least support the hardware that the entire article was complaining about.
I didn't realize that NT ever worked on PPC. No one seems to care. If it no longer works on PPC, of course, you're SOL because you can't do it yourself (the way the PPC folks did for Linux).
> It's not worth porting to SPARC because almost no-one buys SPARCs unless they also want Solaris

The whole article was about someone wanting Linux for PPC, so there must be *some* sort of market for alternative OSes. I guess just not Windows...

Protesting the gov't is not the same as overthrowing the gov't. He most certainly was protesting the gov't. It was the gov't that wrote and enforced the laws. His cause was greater than discrimination of the gov't, but he was absolutely protesting the gov't.

> If they abuse this power, unlikely, you can just vote them out.
Tell that to Martin Luther King, Jr. He worked to protest the government in power and was trying to unseat them by peaceful and lawful means. However, those in power liked being in power and didn't care for his activities.
First, they labeled him a Communist (not that a free society can ever "outlaw" something like that). Then they began the investigation. They bugged his phones. They discovered that he was having an affair. They sent him a letter urging him to commit suicide to avoid having this information leaked.
J. Edgar Hoover was in charge of the FBI at the time. For the most part, Hoover's actions today are considered by the mainstream to be excessive. Nevertheless, the main FBI headquarters are named after him, so I don't know how much "mainstream" thinking pervades the FBI.
This wasn't the work of a military junta running the country, these were just ordinary, elected Americans. Imagine if someone really unscrupulous were elected.
The LAPD, until very recently, made a habit of keeping phone taps and files on celebrities. You never know when that might come in handy.
Nixon used the IRS to harass his opponents. He felt compelled to resign after covering up a break-in of his (mainstream) political opponents headquarters.
Either through clerical error or massive corruption, the Clinton White House had detailed FBI dosiers on prominent Republicans. And Clinton was never voted out of office. Even after his Attorney General burned to death a religious cult. The accusation alone that the cult leader was molesting children was enough to convince most Americans that Koresh got what he deserved.
In a democracy, you do NOT give the ruling power the means to destroy any political opposition. While you've removed "crime" by 70%, you've virtually guaranteed that any political opponent can have his every move tracked.

To answer your question, yes, I do know what an investment bank is. Assuming you're the same AC who's been asking the same question (w/out answering it), I assume you do not know.
Among other things (securities, underwriting, etc), an investment bank often has a brokerage department, a trading department, and a research department. All of these generate money and are ideal applications for a web interface.
You can feel free to tell Salomon Smith Barney that there web page doesn't generate any revenue, but I somehow imagine that they feel differently.
If you knew that your bank developed its own software, and you knew it had insecurities but were assured that only the developers knew of them, would you keep your money there? Would you keep it there after the lead developer left?
Which do you think would be harder to discover: an open source program that skimmed pennies, or a closed source one?
