Well then they should just buy the Ninnle SSL accelerator that is a octo-core rackmount server with 100GigE and only costs you 500 dollars. This is all thanks to the new innovations constantly coming out of Ninnle Labs.
Where exactly are you getting free broadband service from? Oh wait, you mean this was just some lame strawman argument?

From the book review above: "It's really about the rootkit that the reader will construct, such that the focus is on the nature of the tactics rather than a proof-of-concept rootkit."
Which is just the reviewers characterization of the author not a direct quote.
This isn't about security.
Yes it is.
It's not written from the perspective of, "Attackers will use these techniques, you need to defend in this manner." This is a "Here is how you do some lame shit" guide.
Says a person who hasn't actually read the book but is relying on another person's characterization.
I'm not advocating security through obscurity.
Actually you are. By saying that we should hide this information away from people because someone could do bad stuff with it is very much security through obscurity.
I'm saying, the guy who wrote this book is trying to make money by equipping retards with information to fuck up people's computers.
So you can read the author's mind to know that was his motivation to write this book? That's pretty astounding.
I would have hoped Slashdot would promote books intended to help protect people's computers.
But a book that would help people protect themselves and how to fight against rootkits would contain just the same information this book does otherwise it would be worthless.

I really would prefer that Slashdot not help promote a book that is intended to help educate would-be malware coders.
So then they should never post any reviews of any books on the topic of security? Pretty much any book that is going to teach you anything of worth in the are of security is going to have information to help those who want to write malicious code.
While I realize the information would still be out there without this review, Slashdot is undoubtedly contributing sales to the author by raising the profile of this book.
So we should just put our fingers in our ears and shut our eyes and pretend it doesn't exist? Yeah that's going to do all of jack and shit.
Actually the ASLR is only turned on for those DLLs and EXEs which are specifically linked to be ASLR-enabled and is disabled for a whole hosts of applications for compatibility reasons.
All the APIs are based off of a stripped down version of Java so if you use their APIs you are constricted to that. With root access you can write programs in a language like C/C++, or any language you can compile to native code, and compile for ARM and run it, but that's not supported obviously.
And this was with Vista SP1. No one knows how to exploit Firefox or IE on Vista due to NX and ASLR.
Wow with Vista SP1?!??!?! Gee that totally beats out the fact that the Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD kernels had support for that back in 2004 with OpenBSD having support in 2003 and Solaris having NX support as early as 1997 in Solaris 2.6, right?
So when the newest Windows viruses/worms come out on Vista SP2 and they don't infect either Linux or OS X is that just because the other two operating systems were just too insecure to receive them?
I asked for a citation, not your continued assertions. Also in light of seeing this post on GetLegal.com: http://public.getlegal.com/daily/tip/4-2-2009. If you have any case law or anything else backing up your claims please provide it but any legal writings on this subject always says that email is covered under libel laws.
Where I live, cops have to have at the very least a Bachelor's degree, preferably in criminal justice.
It's scary how dumb a lot of college grads are though.
There's no need to be a college grad. You can get one of those degrees with minimal effort from ITT Tech or any number of the other diploma mills of its ilk.
Just look at the iPhone - Apple came out of nowhere to dominate the smartphone market in a 2 year timeframe.
Actually, no they don't. Nokia dominates the smartphone market with almost 39% marketshare. Apple was 2nd last time any sales figures were released at around 17% followed by RIM with around 15%.
Really, what would Linux skills be? The only things that are really uniform between different Linux distributions are the same elements that are already present in Windows anyway.
Any Linux training would be for a specific distro such as the training provided by Red Hat or Canonical which could encompass a whole wide variety of topics. Here's a list of the courses from Red Hat's training course site: https://www.redhat.com/courses/
Okay this doesn't make any sense from that "stimulus package for your career" spam:
Get a FREE retake of a failed exam plus an E-Learning Collection for just $35 USD
Now how can it be a free retake if you have to pay 35 dollars to get it? Is this the same scam like "Free" Credit Report.com that actually requires you to buy a subscription to their site to get the "free" credit report?
I'm pretty sure Windows allows you to create a desktop much much larger than your monitor is able to display. There even exists the option to scroll when navigating to the portions of your desktop not in current view.
Huh? That's not what a workspace is.
Are you just picking nits because it's not broken into a grid with more buttons to click to get there? Or am I being ignorant of what "workspaces" means?
No, you're completely ignorant of what a workspace is. A workspace is a completely independent desktop from another workspace that has it's own windows open, etc. It is not a broken up grid of the desktop.

You would be wrong on all counts. Way to fail.
Having a web browser installed on a server for convenient download and installation of patches, drivers, etc. seems prudent enough.
No, it's very much not prudent on a production server. God help any company who hires you as a server admin.

Wow they must have fallen back quite a bit. The figures I came up with had them at 17.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubby_v._CompuServe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratton_Oakmont,_Inc._v._Prodigy_Services_Co. In fact the Communications Decency Act had to be updated to provide ISPs with immunity from further libel suits based on the electronic postings of their users. Here's two other citations talking all about email and libel online: http://communications-media.lawyers.com/Email-Defamation.html & http://internet-law.lawyers.com/Libel-Online.html So it's pretty clear that libel covers electronic communications and email.
So when the newest Windows viruses/worms come out on Vista SP2 and they don't infect either Linux or OS X is that just because the other two operating systems were just too insecure to receive them?

Any code on libel I've ever seen covers electronic communications as well as traditional written medium.
Pretty sure ITT doesn't do criminal justice anyhow, but I could be wrong.
You would be wrong. They advertise the degree all the time in their commercials.
and utilize my AT&T connection
Good luck with that since they use different frequency bands for their 3g service.

An email can not be slander by slander's very definition. Slander has to do with spoken words not writings.
