I don't need the NYT to tell me how easy it is to write a virus.
There are philosophical reasons why I think your logic is flawed, but I'll stick to the practical considerations.
1) assuming obfuscation of the trade reduces viruses, what other effects could it have?
2) what does the reduction in high-profile exploits do to the state of security, both disclosure and patching? will it make big software companies more or less proactive? will more furtive exploits become easier and more common?
3) is MYDOOM really the work of a script kiddie? (i honestly don't know - it seems to me to be a work beyond the grasp of those whom i would label a script kiddie - those with no particular genius and/or no formal software engineering training).
Before Allstate lowers Wil Wheaton's insurance rates, let me remind them that proximity detectors didn't help him avoid a catastrophe before and there's no reason to suspect he would be any safer now.
I wonder if you can pull off a Kolvoord Starburst Maneuver with a small fleet of Buick Centuries?
I am completely withing my 2nd amendment rights to have bumper-mounted particle emitting arrays which exploit PHASed Energy Rectification. Driving safely means driving defensively, and a good offense is surely the best defense.

Sounds like evangelical science, doesn't it? Ironic. A quest for a description of a universe premised on the absence of a god - yet Wolfram seems to have found his God.
RFID gives power to the corporation. P2P gives power to the individual. Isn't it natural to come to the conclusion that individuals who are not in the pocket of corporations would favor technology that empowers individuals and fight technology that empowers corporations?
The compromise comes from limiting the power wielded by RFID-users - IANAL so I am not sure if this needs to be done legislatively, unless some verbage in existing privacy and wiretap laws implicitly permits RFID tracking abuses. There's almost certainly a technical solution in any case... detecting the majority of embedded RFID tags should be fairly simple.
apparently, putting sex offenders and deadbeat dads in the stocks isn't easy with long hair, an unwaxed head, non-perfect teeth and a suit that costs less than three grand.
of course, it's a different game once you get down into NJ. That dude looks like Herbert Kornfeld.
in the article, he argues that using a pc vid card provides superior upsampling. i don't know about that, but the other points regarding flexibility and bang-for-buck are pretty self-evident.
Second of all, I don't think this will necessarily have a lower cost than existing connections. Cable and telephone infrastructure already exists
This is true. If you ignore the fact that competition hasn't had an opportunity to drive prices down yet, wi-max equipment is still incredibly expensive. The infrastructure is vapor, and will be until the market sees more than a handful of vendors pushing gear that implements the new standard.
Would any of the informed language nazis clarify this before a fucking flamewar starts?
As soon as I saw the "Chauncer" spelling I hit google, but I couldn't find an authoritative-sounding explanation of the spelling difference (both appear to be used, maybe both are correct since we're spanning english dialects here).
i'm implying that pride is a negative emotion in the context of how one eeks out a living.
and now for some more funny:
Personally, I did gay porn for 2 years - even while I was earning $75/hr as an at-home programmer. It was a nice break from the keyboard, getting me out of the house on a regular basis, and I got the not-so-occasional free piece of ass - the best kind of ass is free, after all! So where's the pride-swallowing, I ask you? I'm not begging for change, I'm not representing scumbags in court, I'm not calling people during dinner to sell them siding, and I don't have to deliver pizza. It can be dangerous work if you're not in a nice area, but otherwise it's enough to live on and you'd be surprised how many computer-y types I've known through the years who used porn studios as a nice little moonlight position... especially computer techs - I think it's just a nice change of pace to have a job where people are happy to see you!... amen to that!
i was just joking, sorry to offend. i was just playing on the notion that once-proud software engineers won't lower themselves to working a low-tech job.

How does the desire or willingness to learn assembly translate into entitlement to program?
you must live in a place where 12,500 goes farther and/or you have someone sharing your expenses. not exactly and apples/oranges comparison.
i think they DID do this with the Berlin wall.
Comparing solipsism to idealism is sort of like comparing "fork" to "utensil," but I get where you were originally going.

wouldn't you agree that anyone who believes that reality is wholly defined by the self is an idealist?
a la "I refute it thus?" ... except Samuel Johnson's method was a lot more friendly than yours!
But when you target me, by name, using my resources, and DEMANDING my personal attention, I have an absolute right to know who you are.
you have an absolute WISH to know who I am, but not necessarily a right.

anonymity can be just that - you can't steal an identity that doesn't exist.
