Yeah, we could write that rootkit, but we're way too busy with real life and reading/. to get it done. I recommend posting an image of the rootkit you want on/b/ --they have enough free time and lack of engineering standards to get it done.
If we don't act now, we will fall behind and develop a cave^H^H^H^Hcyber gap. Once the nuclear winter clears, the Ruskies^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Hackers will invade and we will have a serious disadvantage! And every cyber warrior should have 10 women to impregnate. Of course these will have to be attractive women to encourage procreation.
100ft patch cable plugged into the back of the router. True paranoids check for new wired connections before transmitting data on their network. Always check for spooks lurking on your nets and sneaking in your tinfoil abode.
I guess that explains what all those guys are doing when they spend the whole day hanging out in front of 7-eleven. And I thought that they were illegals loitering around for manual labor type work. Shame on me.
A computer-room technician once saw me whistling modem sounds into the phone and running back and forth. I later told him why, and he told me I was nuts and mumbled something about whistling sweat nothings to my robotic girlfriends.
simple linux users are the at the bottom of the social ladder. little influence means they have to pay higher.
I'm not so sure about that. I'm a simple linux user, but as such, I'm constantly having to work on my wife's and parents' windows boxes because I happen to have the most pc know how. As I am their IT, they constantly hear me berate Windows and tell them I'd rather swap them over to Ubuntu or a Mac than just fix the problem again. If MSFT really implements this price gouging schemes, I'd be more insistent of them switching.
The way I see it, I have influence over my family by getting them to switch away from Windows. So shouldn't I then be eligible for a discounted copy?
Sorry, left that one out... yeah, participants race, nationality, education, religion, etc could cause results to change too. The 'etc.' was to signify the normal list of the major demographics, I didn't think I actually needed to list them all.
1000 people isn't really a large pool to guesstimate the preferences of the American population. It's like asking 1000 people if they think Obama is doing a good job--results will vary widely among ages, gender, location, class, etc.
Nevertheless, I think it can be assumed that Americans don't like the idea of businesses, governments, or neighbors digging through their personal information for the sake of marketing. Many states have invasion of privacy laws, I wonder if/when citizens will flex these laws to keep their online privacy.
No, it should be a game where you are Jack Thompson-- the goals being: 1. File as many frivolous lawsuits as possible without getting disbarred. 2. Don't get your ass kicked by angry gamers coming after you. I see it as a survival FPS type game--but instead of your main mission of shooting zombies/demons/aliens/bad guys, you're compulsively filing lawsuits.
Another point for long term self interest: After filling a 7 Gig inbox, Google may want a way to purge your data after you leave their service. Powering on a bunch of servers and hard drives to retain data that's not going to be used gets expensive after a few years.
As learned from my security clearance indoctrination; sensitive information includes anything that can be seen as harmful or damaging to the government/country if released to the public/enemy.
Logically, that includes things like covert mission plans, cryptography keys, ingredient list for radar absorbent paints, technical readouts for this battle station, and gross misappropriations of federal funds.
...get to chose where it comes down? I really don't know, but I wonder if one could design a.5 pound satellite with the express intention of surviving re-entry, like a 1/2 pound slug of lead in the shape of a dart or a sphere.
From my enlistment w/ the military, I found that in the wartime situation, enlisted freethinkers were the most beneficial to the military and often helped the unit the most and were most rewarded. Conversely, during the peace time, the enlisted followers/conformist were most often rewarded because they were least bored and had the least amount of issues with adhering to the regulations, SOP, and ROE. Of course, this leads to an interesting dichotomy of the enlisted ranks--those senior NCOs who demanded strict adherence to orders (because they expect conformists), and those NCOs that would let a few minor things slide if you could get shit done.
Sure, freethinkers who can conform to regulations are the ideal, but many times the junior ranks are beaten with the "conform stick" enough that the freethinkers leave the military before they advance to a rank that encourages creativity.

Do you really expect additional locks to be built? I think the plan is to spend money to add more back doors to the network.

You become animatronics for Chuck Cheese or theme park rides (think: it's a small world after all).

Yeah, I've seen that too, but I can't remember the name of the movie.

That sounds like a great start to a new sig.

JOHN PARKER is serving a sentence at Penn State.
And I thought Penn State was a good school.
Back in my day, college was all about drinking, sex and illicit drug use.

I just don't feel like quitting yet.
Besides, quitting is for loosers.
9. Little David Lightman realized his HelloWorld script was a bit out of control and turned off his computer. Should have stayed with WarGames.

That's one heck of a way to commit suicide.
Hmm... I think there's some cheaper "memorable" options out there.
Option 1 (Daddy is Forever)
~1000USD to be cremated and then ~8,000USD** to be pressed into a half-carat loose diamond.
Option 2 (Daddy was an Astronaut-Burnt-Up-on-Reentry)
~1000USD to be cremated and then ~8000USD to be shot into space.
**ashes to diamonds
