with mandatory backdoors into all systems and encryption coming soon watching the Matrix and who knows what else years before the rest of the world would be worth working for the spooks and using only homemade encrytion programs....
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok you owe me $12 for a new keyboard but that was the funnyist thing Ive heard in a bit.... oh yeah and $2 for a new coffee too...
Destroy with complete impunity? I wonder if YOU would have had the chance to answer that when you were first conceived. For once, try to think of what it would be like if YOU were on the receiving end. This is both selfish and typical of the attitudes on this site
Not being alive enough to care or even think about it I personally wouldn't have minded.... I enjoy life as it is but I don't think that my soul would have been chop suey if my embro wasn't allowed to grow...
of course thats only my selfish and typical attitude.
But just like mimicking what a bird does (ie tape feathers to your arms and flap) isn't going to get you off the ground, mimicking the human brain will probably only get us so far.
I believe the real breakthroughs will come more or less like it did in aeordynamics: when we understood the principles of flight and stopped mimicking birds, we could fly. When we understand the principles of intelligence and stop mimicking brains, we might be on to something.
And god help us when that time happens.. what happened to the birds? they got sucked into the jet engines....
So Very True.... hmmm now I feel silly for the insightful moderation of my comment. However other parts of the message were true. Bearer of bad news is rarily well recieved.
or write a worm!!!! yeah thats the ticket... nothing will teach that company like publicity! oh wait. n/m they will just blame the sys admins.
I mean come on there is no good way to do this. Anonymous remailer to the company and the computer crime divsion of some government agency might be the best way. if they ignore it go to wired.com/cnn tech division or submit a stoy to/. as anonymous coward complete with everything but the exploit code.
just a quick coment... as one of probably 300 people who went to his talk at DEFCON he didn't sell it he jsut showed the problems with Adobe's security and the fact that you can't have secure content while still allowing access.
May or may not be legal when you look at it that way. I'm pretty sure you can legally break into someone's house if you see flames coming out of the roof.
yes but what was said was an anti worm..... which replaces even those not burning yet but those that could be burnt... firebreakers are legal but only by firefighters sanctioned by the government breaking into a burning house is still robery unless you carry the baby out to safety.. don't mind the mumbleing its getting late here
you must not read enough. this idea has been tossed around all the time. the thing is its illegal thing to do... it fights fire with fire but its still illegal. why would anyone want to get arrested for fixing the net anyway?

To mark this article down as flamebait -1. Really do you actually think there will be any sort of discussion other then "this guys an idiot" out of our group? For my opinion on the actual article please read everything that is moderated up because some moderator got pissed off and moderated everything that was anti-this-article.
Are you sure that writing and making examples of this particular incident would be productive? I personally thing that fighting this on a case by case basis is not the best use of my time or yours. I think that you are absolutely correct in the first 1/2 that showing that insecurities such as these are harmful to all who would use such services but to go into examples would, in my opinion limit the the effect of the letter to only this particular case where the whole DMCA is to blame. I initially also thought to write the oversight committee for whoever was responsible in the choice of the new FBI director but realized that since this is the law, trying to persuade that committee that this was a bad idea to chose Muller wasn't right as he has just followed the letter of the law. Therefor I again suggest to all of you to write your own senators and representatives as this is a legal issue (besides the no bail hearing thing)
Yep and none of that fancy email stuff either....
Type or handwrite(if you still remember how) to your "friends" on the Hill and express your outrage. Tell them what you think as a voter and as one of the most in demand workers on the planet (its true) on how these laws are not helpful to the US.
A couple of words of caution for those of you in the thros of rage.
Do not swear
Do not threaten to kill them if they do not comply
Do not include c4 or other explosives "to get your point across"
Just what I was thinking. As a matter of fact, I seem to remember that Gore and Lieberman were the ones who made a tremendous issue of cleaning up movies, and I dare say those two could be considered Republican at all
They are actually an Alien race known as Politicians. They have a knack for blaming everyone's problems on specific demographics known as scapegoats.
Thousands of people rush out to buy Microsoft Windows ME in a quick "Get Rich" scheme propogated by bill passing the Senate.
Yeah I know its a troll but its funny.
Gnutella was inundated with a 600% increase of traffic
What is the surprise here? That it didn't drop more? We all know why everyone (meaning everyone except for you so don't go freaky on me about how you use napster for only non-label artists who sanction the usage of their songs on napster and...) uses Napster. I really don't know why this would surprise anyone.
Its still Cambridge and Mr. Gates gave them over 100 million dollars recently. Don't be to hard on his philanthropic tendancys. Who ares if they name it after him if they get a a really nice and really needed new facility.
...visiting my Father who was an equivalent of a guest professor over there at the time, I saw Steven Hawking, but went right past him to touch this beloved Coffee Pot that has shaped our lives so much. I could explain more but is it really that necessary?
This is the 4th article about ads and they already had one poll IN THE LAST WEEK.
Perhaps they are decideing to remove all ads from Slashdot since we know they read our comments and see how much we love ads. yeah.... thats got to be it....
