Yes, that would require the attacker to have the salt generation algorithm (probably the code base), and would possibly mess up automated crackers like in TFA (I think?)
Why wouldn't they? If someone can run off with billions of dollars with (seemingly) no consequences, why wouldn't they? For how "brilliant" guys like Greenspan were supposed to have been, they seem frightfully naive in retrospect about basic human nature. The "market" can only punish misbehaving companies if there is complete transparency, which is a fantasy... obvious solution is to just hide what you're doing. They fail to realize that regulations (rules) are needed to protect a free market, just like laws and the constitution are needed to protect individual freedom. Without regulation there is not market freedom but market anarchy.
Although in regard TFA what these traders did was always very against the law.
Not to mention driving with one hand and talking to the other occupants... I don't see how talking on a cell phone is functionally different from driving with one hand while talking to the passenger.
What pisses me off is that these companies think they have some kind of entitlement to profit off of me and my data. If anyone should be able to monetize and sell my own information, it's me. If they offered to pay me for it, then and only then will I consent to anything.
As a Jewish kid growing up one of the most important lessons I learned about the Holocaust was not to dehumanize the Germans as a people or as individuals for what happened, as that would make me no different than the Nazi's themselves, rather I should understand why and how they did what they did so that I could do my part in preventing it from happening again. When I try to apply that logic now to Islamic extremism, and Israeli extremism for that matter, I'm surprised at the vehemence of the pushback I get, even from people that really ought to know better (I think deep down they do, that's why they deny it so hard). To say that we "can't understand terrorism or extremism so don't even try" is insane to me. They're just people. Hell international business and finance these days is way more complicated and at least as sinister as any terrorist...
Well, they are developing a new Counter-Strike... I wonder if you'll be able to play a terrorist in a "modern shooter" capacity. Hostages, bombs and everything I hope. I remember on 9/11 I came home from school and loaded up cs (as a terrorist naturally) cause well that's what I always did, hesitated for a second, then thought, "Hell if I stop playing my favorite game cause of this then the terrorists really do win."
Vote for whom? Republicans? Clearly no. Obama? All his campaign sponsors are Wall Street firms. The whole point is that there is no one to vote for, and little / no recourse within the system.
how I long for a "make it impossible to tag me" feature on FB
This is why I deleted my account. My parents' friends started adding me, as well as the kids I teach karate to... I really don't need those groups of people seeing every compromising picture that gets taken of me at parties and promptly plastered all over the internet, and it seemed kind of rude to not accept them as fb friends. If I ever go back it will be with a pseudonym (and mayyybe a whitewashed "real" account), or not at all. But tbh I don't feel like I've lost anything for not having one anymore...
Then you say, "Ok, here you go, is there anything I can help with or clarify? By the way the Thai place I'm always at on Fridays has really good spring rolls?" I dunno, I've been watching old Hitchcock movies... citizens and police used to cooperate... it seems better that way.
I can't find anything logically wrong with the argument... I mean the police need a way to determine probable cause so they can get a warrant to actually invade someone's privacy. If they're not allowed to know anything you do or say, how could they ever justify getting a warrant? There has to be a range of activity that the police can do freely in order for investigation to function at all.
What I don't really see is how this is fundamentally different from having a cop tail your car... they don't need a warrant for that. This is just more cost effective. Likewise where you drive your car to seems like public information anyways. Why would the government even care about his every day (mundane) life anyway? It's not like they're going to extrapolate his gas station schedule and try to sell him an Exxon card...
No kidding. Man what I'd give to have been able to do this. I'd imagine the kids that would qualify for this would generally find each other and make their own little group, which would offset the age difference between them and everyone else.
Without Sully they'd have just gotten wiped out though. 99% of the time I agree that inserting an annoying white guy into an otherwise cool story (Transformers, Forbidden Kingdom, etc) detracts a lot, but this time I think it was well integrated and made sense. Sully was cool too.
I for one am in favor of using the military to solve all conflicts, and destroying all of nature. Anyone that disagrees is a dirty hippie. There's no middle ground here.

Don't get me wrong DDOSing a courthouse is pretty dumb, but 15 years?
Why wouldn't they?

Even more ironic is how closely the Palestinian struggle for statehood mirrors Israel's...

One step at a time maybe?

This sounds like one of those "America loses 50 zillion dollars a year while employees zone out" studies. If people were machines we wouldn't need IT.

Would you download a car? Would you download a TV? Would you download someone's purse? I know I would.
