don't you mean actually writing a computer virus that will record keystrokes is extremely easy to do. If anyone graduates from College with a degree in computer science and doesn't know how to do this already they should have their degrees taken away from them.
I agree, partly. But... if anyone graduates from high school and doesn't know how to speak/write in english, we should revoke their diploma as well.
In ordinary English, a hacker is somebody who hacks into a computer system. That's not the way you and I use the word, but we're not most people.
... so, when living in the ordinary world, dealing with ordinary people... or, say, writing an article for newsweek, you're probably better off communicating in a language that ordinary people understand.
Thanks for preaching to the choir though, maybe someone will find your comment insightful.
I'd be kind of pissed if I took a computer security class and it was all about social engineering.
but if it was a course on penetration and end user abuse, then it would be completely relevant.
I think teaching the tools of the black arts are useful - you never know when you need to hack into a satellite system and broadcast the evil that it does around the world.
I cleaned and moved senior sm-eee-ths office aftah his lady friend has leff, she musta mov-ed the baby compuuutah.
On a more serious note, Isn't this just another way of the company saying "Oh wait, haha, we didn't lose anything JUST a big mis-understanding, you can keep giving us more money..."
Nature vs Nurture... only an american sees things in dichotomous views - there IS no nature/nuture debate, its fairly clear that both are important.
Also, the best I could do was to rebut your argument and throw on a lame joke. The best you could do was to way 'NO way, I'm not like that, so it can't be true'.
You clearly don't have kids - most teenagers these days won't let their parents into their life. Not because the parents are bad, but because society (advertising?) encourages teenagers to be self-sufficient and live their own life.
Sometimes, all the parents can do is be supportive and listen when their kid doesn't want to talk. If the kid won't talk to his/her parents... what did you want the parents to do? Tie them up and force them to speak?
Anyways, my point is that Good Parents don't always have good kids. And parents (unfortunately) can't always get their kids to open up and talk to them.
I guess your mom would kick you out of her basement if you were rebellious, so I can't expect you to understand.
Liar!! I've seen national treasure 1 AND 2. C'mon, you're just part of the order, trying to keep all of the other rightful heirs from becoming really rich and buying nice cars.
So, assuming this suceeds... can the native americans sue europe for defiling their land, and ruining their culture? I mean, if europe hadn't sent over all those rejects, the native americans would rule the (un)known world...
Or, maybe they could just sue the USA for making them look silly - I mean, those native headdresses don't look silly to people who are native - just everyone else.
I'm not sure what the problem here is - If a website claims that it isn't part of the malware revolution with a self signed certificate, it isn't any more authentic than NOT having one.
The only real use for a self signed certificate is for large institutions that already have the trust of the user (ie: universities) - but you have to assume that they havn't been compromised, because it would be easy to have a second certificate, signed by the owner of the hijacked site.
Anyways, firefox 3 does a great job, and it isn't hard to add an exception - and it isn't annoying like UAE...
the REAL story here is... "How do I poison the yahoo spam list to ignore email from large, legitimate companies?"... because it seems to be working well by accident. Maybe someone could monetize this? (Of course, that makes it a denial of service attack, and probably not legal... but...)
I know tethering is against the AT&T rules and regulations... but why was it pulled for all non-usa iphones? We don't have the same agreements with our carriers outside the USA, and yet... we suffer because AT&T can't stop complaining...
Slashdot Mirror
nah, didn't read the parent. I was blinded by your intelligence. By the way, do you have a newsletter I can sign up for?
I can't get the é - e+accent aigu to work *sigh*
touche.
Does this mean that all the salinization that has been going due to irrigation because america grows FRUIT in the desert is actually a good thing?
Does this mean that scientists now think that we don't have enough deserts?
I'm all for global warming (it is cold up here in canada), but I'm pretty sure we've got enough desolate landspace...
why are you so worried? it is a state school, it isn't like they learn anything there anyways...

What companies? Would they want to work there anyway?
Spot on! I mean, why work for a security company, when you can work for a government? Isn't that what this guy is going to do in new zealand?
... failing a government contract, why not just 'make' your own money using your newly found l33t haxx0r skillz from school?

That idiot will win her trial, and get away almost scot-free. Which sucks.
I'm sure she'll never get a real job ever again, though. In a job interview, question 2 will be "Wait... you're THE Lori Drew? That psycho-bitch?"
So, is this basically a Lisa 2, hackintosh?
And the problem is the cost of display, not the cost of computers...
So, they are REALLY little green men? So small they look like chemicals?
I think google now has genticles from everywhere, to everywhere.
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
Well, that isn't hard. If it goes underwater, and doesn't completely sink, it qualifies. It doesn't even need to keep a monkey inside, and alive!
C'mon, I make Autonomous Underwater Vehicles every time I take a dump in my friends pool when he's not looking... and I don't win ANYTHING. *sigh*
I'm not sure where you get the idea that mormons think
All other, older churches are corrupt and failed and we're the only ones who have it right, so you should listen to us
Maybe someone from another church told you it was true?

Profit only goes to the black hat accepting money to shut up, so apple doesn't have to fix things right now.
So ... nVidia doesn't need to fix the thousands (possibly many many more) laptops that they've supplied bad parts for?
Or are they still in the graphics game, but not in the chipset game (can you do that?)
