Except that finding that second password is just has hard as finding the real password, if not harder. passwords are sometimes limited to 8 characters and something like 16 on newer systems. the number of combinations of all valid password characters from one letter passwords to 16 letter passwords is still smaller than the total number of combinations of md5 sum possibilities. It is very possible that there are no collisions in the available password space.
Signed binaries are a little different though as if you are able to just pad a trojan with random bits that create a file with the same md5 and about the same size as the original you can then use that to infect systems under the guise of a legitimate program.
Well, there is kind of a limit, first is the absolut limit of Zero, then there is the basic limit of what is needed to actually function as a living human, If I remember right its somewhere between 30-50 IQ. Just enough to know how to breath and pump blood etc. While Genious' limit has got to be fairly high. What would be a 100% on a comprehensive IQ test's score?
The installations are bare minimal for the application, service are usually open to only two ports, ssh and the application. access is through a firewall. There have been no remote exploites so far in the few packages that are installed. The only thing that has been even a minor concern is a local privlage escilarion. the only people with shell access are limited to sysadmins, dbadmins, and application admins, usually less than 5 people who are all trusted with root access anyway. Some systems have no user access except through a web proxy server. Zero downtime of Linux I mean the boxes have not been rebooted, restarted, or inaccessable for even one second over the past year. Their applications on the other had have been stopped started updated etc with no impact to the underlining OS>
has software ever really existed? isn't it just an idea? a bunch of electrons in a row? sure I can hold a cd ro floppy disk but that isn't software, it's media.
you seem to be talking close to sysfs and dbus, with some kind of virutual machine driver interface.
sysfs and dbus do/will do what you sugest from the user point of view.
Not sure you can really do the 100% generic drivers because it would lock you down with the backwards compatibily monster. With forceing drivers to be updated to the current kernel version helps premote open source because vendors have to play catchup. Right now at 6% market share we are starting to get a grip on vendors. Soon enough vendors will be nearly required to release good drivers.
What happens when I need to build 100 windows systems and 15 linux systems. I call a vendor and state my order, they say we can do the 100 windows systems but we don't support linux, [click] call next vendor until I find one that supports all my systems.
How about because most hardware is based off of older hardware? Every new Nvidia card that comes out, when it's time to start writing drivers, Nvidia doesn't through out the old code and start writing new.
"they would never make such a quantum leap in one go"
advertisers sure like that term cause it sounds so grandiose, but a quantum leap is actual the smallest measure of distance that has any meaning what so ever.
our EDC over 1000 servers not huge but still large: Windows uptime 98.65% Unix uptime 99.998% Linux portion of Unix uptime 100%
of course now that I'm braging about it something is going to crash. 18moths of over 75 Linux servers running several diffrent applications like tomcat, websphear, Oracle, plust several diffrent specialized apps. And now we get to add another 75 in the next 3 months.
Working for a large chain of hospital's data center we have over 210 database front ends for over 160 different locations. These are applications that my not even have source code still in existence due to the original vendors going out of business, changing owners, or just plain lost it. to recode these from scratch would be a huge undertaking.
Wine allows us to run these applications on Linux/x86. although this wouldn't be of much use for OSX wine is a very useful program and Office/Outlook are more like benchmarks rather than needed applications. with OpenOffice and evolution there is little to no need for Office and Outlook, there is a need for the hundreds of small un-replaceable un-portable applications.
I just realized this doesn't really answer your concern, but still I think it is good information so I will post it anyway.
although repeted elsewhere this should answer your question:
wine is split into two parts.
wine the program loader - the part you use to run windows binaries on linux is close to an emulator. Really just more like a binary format like elf or a.out that is run in user space rather than kernel space.
libwine is the library used to port the windows api to Linux. it is similar to gtk or qt in that it allows a program to make winapi calls and they get translated to the appropriate X calls similar to any of the other Linux GUI libs.
wine the program loader wouldn't be very useful on OSX because there probably isn't many apps for the windows ppc port. libwine on the other had will allow the easy porting of windows applications to OSX or Linux. So far this hasn't been exploited as much as it should be, mainly due to the wine folks wanting a perfect 1.0 release, when they may be better off getting what they have so far as stable as they can and doing a 1.0 release with X features supported and Y features not supported. then go from there. (their project their decision though)

That would be good advice if laws were simple and resonable. when dropped with 1500 page traffic law books, with many laws set in conflict with each other so that just by getting into a car you are breaking a little law of some kind.

Maybe some add has to pop up first before any application you activate runs...
So IE/Windows has been useing this method then? No wonder M$ makes so much money.
Do you remeber where you heard
Of this?
Could it have been a slashdot article?
Ofcourse I
Could be wrong.
no, I'd say they are just pushed up into the air by explosions.

So it's very likly that more than 50% of people are dumber than the average.

wow a one word +5 comment, I think I've reached a new karma whoreing status :) yea me.
yet
We don't have free will but we chose to ignor that?
