I just want to make sure I understand your position.
You are saying that, with an understanding that all people are born with a certain finite number of "hours" of life available to them before death, that somebody choosing to spend that time doing something they find relaxing and pleasurable rather than using that finite time to labour for the benefit of a business owner is a "waste of time"?
Lord knows Disney will have trouble paying for those longer terms (Where will they find a MILLION dollars?!?!)! You are really sticking it to the big guy, while saving the little guy with that plan!
On my wireless network I use a couple of things which makes me feel fairly confident in the security of my network:
256 bit encryption Hardware Mac Address filtering.
Its the filtering I find most important, because it stops folks from jumping on my network behind my firewall. I enter the mac addresses of those who are supposed to get access and deny the rest.
I guess the encryption prevents sniffing, which is nice, but I think anything I would actually care about goes over https or SSH (and I am not a weird tinfoil hat wearing freak who honestly thinks somebody cares to sniff my packets all day hoping to find something interesting, so thats good enough for me). I suppose if somebody really cared and could break the 256 bit encryption it uses, they could sniff out a POP password from a user who has an account on the server and gain access from a wired connection if they knew my internet IP. But I think at this point I'm willing to risk it.
Some additional security in apersonal sense is that I personally don't use the wireless access, thats for other people in my building - I'm connected with wires:)
The dupes here are absolutely INSANE. ITS STILL ON THE FRONTPAGE.
THE FRONTPAGE!!! How fscking hard would it be for every editor to be REQUIRED to make a hardcopy of every topic for the last month and reference that? AT LEAST?! Or maybe you cannot be employed by slashdot unless you ACTUALLY READ THE WEBPAGE.

I read his stuff, and he really does appear to be clueless.
I sent him a message without really reading in depth what he was trying to say, to correct some of the horrible assumptions in his article (at his website, you can find it through the links).
However, when I read his article in more detail I realized that its probably futile to try to educate this man. He just doesn't have a firm understanding of system security.
Essentially, he says that opensource has security flaws because even though you can alter closed source binaries, its HARDER than open source.
Wow. Lets throw open source out the window, because it makes it easier to be malicious if you already have root access. Why does he think this is news?

The bogeyman has always existed; Once you see him for what he is he just changes his name.
Is that the new math?
You know how to convert to metric, but when you divide 300 by 10, they get 60. I'm assuming you asked google about the metric conversions.
The average speed is 30 mph, or a bit under 50 Km/h
No, Tolkien Ring
The correct version (or at least the version I heard, but it flows better and makes more sense, so I'm willing to call it more correct)

The memories.
Yes everybody knows who.. umm. LinuS is. Not so many get his name right.
I believe he said i256, not i=256 (so i never goes higher than 255)

I never post, really. but this is insane.

Could you be MORE of a quack?
Safeway just began a $1,000,000 giveaway. Should all the employees get a salary of at least that?
and don't worry about Malda, at this point I'm sure $100,000 is pure peanuts to him.
I'm going to pirate the registration cards.
The article wasn't researched all that carefully.
Apparently 'hacking root' means to 'hack into
the root directory of the server'.
I wonder if they did an altavista search for 'root', and took the first mention they found.
