The interviewer asked, for a minute and a half, over and over in a hostile cross-examination fashion, if they were going to fix their "security problems."
To which he should have replied something like: "Let's be clear: our security problem, if you want to use the term, is that our security is too good for governments to easily circumvent." Then point out that the governments already have this access to other forms of communication, that RIM must comply with local government requirements, that RIM is working to clearly communicate to their users that truthful state of government access so that users can decide for themselves whether Blackberrys are private enough for their needs [not sure if this last part is true, but it should be]. The other option (to pull out of these markets) makes no sense for RIM and does nothing to help dissidents either.
The point with a question like this is that there is no one right answer, although there are many wrong ones. If you're proficient in C++ could could answer about the syntax and technical characteristics, or about reusable components comprising state and behaviour, whatever your way of looking at it is. But the key is that you need to already have an established understanding that you can express somehow. (The ability to verbalize abstract concepts may be just as important as technical details).
So to answer your question: life is all the moments between when you're born and when you die. There, that wasn't so hard.
I've been using Nettica to manage all of my DNS for a couple of years and am very pleased with them. Service has been fantastic and their features seem quite good. They have a template feature to administer many domains at once... might be what you're looking for.
I've started using what I think is a great was to create what appear to be rather secure passwords that are easy to remember and recoverable (that's a highly qualified statement as I am in no way a security expert). Go to:
and enter your "parameter" (e.g. "march2006") and "master password" (e.g. "mysecretpassword") and you get a password (e.g. "K0u4CUXG") generated from the two. Of course you still have to remember the password, but at least if you forget it you can recover it from wherever you are, without having to write it down. It's all local JavaScript on the browser, so there's no network exposure...
Maybe I'm just a masochist, but I find typing with non-US keyboard layouts perfectly usable. My alternate language is Hungarian, which uses a lot of accented characters, many of which are not used in many other languages. Simply enabling the kayboard layout under the "Input Menu" tab of the "International" system preferences makes it easy to access, and after a short while it's easy to get used to the meanings of various keys.
Granted Windows is listed as "Not Vulnerable", but here's the MS statement regarding this issue (from the CERT advisory's vendor listing):
Microsoft does not ship any drivers that contain the vulnerability. However, we have found samples in our documentation that, when compiled without alteration, could yield a driver that could contain this issue. We have made corrections to the samples in our documentation, and will include tests for this issue in our certification process.
So the OS itself isn't vulnerable as it's own networking code doesn't handle Ethernet padding, but the OS vendor has in the past provided Windows NIC vendors (and hence driver developers) with documentation leading directly to this vulnerability...
Sounds secure to me...
That's why I keep Acrobat handy. If it's a file I need to distribute, I'll take.pdf to.doc any day of the week. (Besides, do you really want others editing your resume?)

Okay, so if Lucas released PM on DVD we'd buy it, right? Probably even if it contained nothing but the basics, i.e. the film. If he then went ahead and released a special edition three years later with loads of additional goodies, or if he waited for the new trilogy to be complete and then released the lot, we'd buy that too, right? Seems to me like selling two DVDs is better than selling none.
Java-only. Commercial. Feature-rich. Great company name.

Hey, can I be CEO now?
Here here! It must be rough for RIM to have their CEO in the same category as this scientology asshat.

Why is it that Linux folks always attack the Windows *OS*, but Windows folks always attack the Linux *folks*?
