I'd say the Aboriginal comment just about sums up my reply. That said, I'll add this: I'm from Atlanta, GA. I'm a white guy who was in the minority going to high school. Ads in metro Atlanta strongly favor African Americans; is that racist? I think not.
The racism flag seems to get trotted out a little too often these days. Statistically speaking, are there a heck of a lot of black guys in Poland? Honest question, really. I dislike Microsoft for a lot of things, but the racism tag seems a little odd; I wasn't aware they had a reputation in that department.
Secrecy is absolutely the problem. Leaving things out of the budget is one thing, but real dollars get spent. I want to be able to analyze every line item expenditure at every level of government.
This shouldn't be marked troll. They certainly wouldn't be the first nation to claim failure to achieve a stable orbit, only to admit (much) later there's a satellite up there after all.
Navy Federal Credit Union sends the PIN in the mail to the "sending" account holder's mailbox, and it must be entered within 30 days or the request is nullified.
It doesn't matter if these LiveCDs are kept up to date. They won't be hosting any network services, so there's nothing to exploit there. The browser can only go to the bank's website, and will only accept SSL pages. Unless the bank's web servers are compromised and attackers somehow managed to insert code designed to exploit a particular browser vulnerability, there's nothing to exploit there either. Note that that last scenario isn't impossible, but hugely improbable. One could just as easily argue that a hardware keystroke logger could be installed on the local machine. Not likely; if someone cares enough to go that far to get your data, they're gonna get it regardless.
In other words, this is about a million times more secure than using any given general purpose desktop computer to do your banking.
You know, I used to think the way you do about this. Then I tried Git, and I wouldn't go back to anything else. I use it along with another employee to manage a documentation repository, and it's worked wonderfully. Decentralization has been awesome.
Your post is not informative. Please reference elliptic curve cryptography for why research in this field might actually yield valuable insights in the field of crytography. If you can't grasp it after a cursory overview of the topic, you probably shouldn't have replied to the GP, even given the fact that s/he was obviously misguided on the whole prime-or-not concept.
Only if the web server operated out of the sandbox of the browser. Any browser vendor implementing a feature like this without isolating it to a container within the browser would be insane. In other words, Microsoft should never try to implement something like this.
What if the web server were limited to only communicating with external web servers to which a connection was already made, refusing any unknown connections from the network?
I don't think the market cares about me enough to insure that I'll actually have games to play
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but the maket doesn't care about you. Nor should it; you are a corner case that honestly doesn't have any real effect on profits one way or the other.
This is a lot like peoples' misunderstanding of the term "equality"; it's "equality of oppotunity", not "forced equalization".
Stuff like this won't make it any harder to bring suit. In many jurisdictions, the law has specific prohibitions against the validity of this kind of blanket clause in contracts.

From the information given, it's not in a stable orbit.

Can we have an app that tells us where out tax dollars are really going, down to the dime? Thanks.

Nobody ever said the web server in the browser should have any privileges beyond the browser. That's not the ActiveX mentality.

It's probably hard to hear much of anything when your ears are bleeding.
Calling Verizon techs IT guys is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? That's like calling a Comcast tech a "network engineer."
If you can run arbitrary PHP code, you could possibly trigger this NULL exploit to get root.

There, fixed that for ya.

Three words: respective track records.
I would have thought the Canadian government would do a better job than the U.S. gov of fining companies that engage in tactics like this. Am I wrong?
Please see my other comments about clauses like this being illegal in many jurisdictions.
/me makes a note not to sue them NY. That leaves a whole bunch of jurisdictions to lay down the smack in.
Oh wait, someone probably already has. That aside, it won't stand government scrutiny this time, either.

This will not hold water in the courts. Don't panic.
