I like the idea of ClamWin, but unfortunately I cannot recommend it. I work with a lot of different malware, both new and old. In my experience, ClamWin has been one of the worst for detection.
If you want to check it for yourself, upload different malware to www.virustotal.com where they compare many different engines on the sample you provide.
I agree. In my 8 years of riding to work every day, I have had a number of close calls. Actually the worst situations are the times when the car pulls out, then realizes the mistake and tries to back up to get out of the way. When they pulled out, I already had a path in mind to avoid hitting them. When they decided to back up again, that screwed things all up.
I slid sideways on my Buell in front of one of these. Higher speed limit road and he wanted to get out into the divider. Nevermind the fact that there was another car already sitting in the divider...
I think this system would just cause a similar type of situation. Both parties are told that there is a collision coming ahead, but which party should be making the move. It is like doing the dance getting into an elevator.
The ISP's aren't helping much either. At my old company, I was looking to provide some ingress redundancy in the event of failure to the main pipe. We only had a/28 block of addresses so our ISP was not interested in BGP route exchanges. Our sales engineer suggested that we move to a/24 block for no extra cost, which would then allow what I wanted to do. I thought about it, but decided not to because I wasn't even using all of my/28.
From TFA:
"It plugs directly into most Motorola and Samsung cell phones to capture all data that they contain. More phones will be added to the list, including many from Nokia, RIM, LG and others, in the next generation, to be released shortly."
Ask anyone in the mobile forensics field, and they will tell you what a joy it is to have so many choices of software/hardware that can get data from every mobile phone out there. [/sarcasm]
Take a look through the documentation of any of the mobile phone forensic software packages, and you will find that one company supports this phone, another company supports that phone, etc. You will also find a very slow process in updating to support additional phones. The differences between hardware, firmware, and file systems on the devices vary too greatly right now, even from the same manufacturer.
I went with tungsten because it was unique at the time. I have met more people that have it now, and have somehow convinced several people to replace theirs with tungsten.
It is a bit heavy, but it has a nice dark color and will not scratch or dent easily either. It could be a problem if you injure your finger since tungsten melts at a cool ~3500*C.
A plus for me was that welding spatter can just be ground off and buffed again.
I am not really sure why this is such a big news story. This is the type of technique that we have used in digital forensics for a while. Artifacts like this help to identify missing volumes of all types: thumb drives, cds/dvds, encrypted, etc.
At my old company, not quite a year ago, we were looking to get services from Microsoft (not my decision). The President of that company is really anal about having all vendors and employees of vendors sign a NDA. Microsoft lawyers said they would sign for the company, but they would not allow their employees to sign NDA's for themselves. Their reason: their employees are not lawyers so they should not be forced to agree to a contract they may not understand. Talk about contradiction...
I just have to laugh reading through so many of the replies here and below TFA. Many are claiming that the list is close, but not quite "because I am a good programmer and this is how I do things..." Then you have some whining about the list being completely off, because "I am a good programmer and I don't fit into your list at all".
If you feel the need to claim that you are this wonderful programmer, who are you really trying to convince?

i found a few other articles about this and other incidents that appear to have been related. it is mentioned that this "hacker" used a free web hosted hearing impaired service to have the operator relay the story to the 911 service. there was no hacking involved. http://www.goerie.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Date=20071014&Category=NEWS02&ArtNo=710140456&SectionCat=ETN&Template=printart http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-hacker17oct17,1,2753897,print.story?coll=la-headlines-california&ctrack=1&cset=true
