Did the victim give the keys to the kingdom? or just the first door? The bank COULD require a different/new password with telephone/sms/in person confirmation when sending money to new payee's/payment accounts.
The security model of most online banking is like having cars with locking doors but not locking ignitions... the security does not fit the way people use their banking.
To be fair, the banks do not allow you to opt in to security features or opt-out of security liabilities.
I'd love if my bank would allow me to secure my checking account to restrict outgoing payments to a list of accounts/payees confirrmed by the branch. I'd love to opt-in to a second factor token authentication and 2nd bank card pin that has a lower withdrawl limit or one time pin that I can use in sketchy ATMs POS systems.
I pay the bank dearly to protect my money and deliver service. They have had years to spend on R&D. Luckily, I have not been affected by the lack of security or insurance from my bank.
But there are people who will never want to be responsible for any of their own action, and they will tell you that it's all the fault of that "1%" --- including those "banksters", and those "judge"
That post is as hilarious as it is hypocritical considering that "banksters" and "judges" are one of those least responsible for their own actions.
This post is as hilarious as it is you he was talking about.
Passwords/public key encryption etc. are all "security by obscurity" as well... sure open source software allows the community to see exploitable bugs, but it doesn't mean the community will notice or fix them. You can, however, be sure at least one community member will be able to remove any license checks and one will release an exploit - that wouldn't have been able to had they not seen the source.
The only valid argument you can use to counter this is that anyone who has the means and motive will get access to the source anyway... but thats pretty weak.
Deffence in depth. VMWare has a large team of staff who review code changes and do regression tests against the software... the community is probably of little value now and having closed source adds another layer.
What the hell is the Chinese military going to do to your Ubuntu distribution running in a virtual machine?
Whatever the hell they want... bugs in the hypervisor could allow you access to the running memory or file system of the virtual machines... possibly from a less secure neighbouring virtual machine.
Sure, it's not the most likley thing to happen to your Ubuntu... but proof of concept bugs have been put together (and fixed I think) that allow one VM to get data from the processor cache of another VM (on certain CPUs). Encryption keys/passwords/etc may not be as safe in a VM as they are in a stand alone PC. Does the difference matter?? Should it matter, probably not.
I think he was trying to allude to that auditing the source, but not using the binary that is built from that source, is a pretty stupid audit. Since you cannot build the source and get the exact same hash of the binary, you can't conclude the binary was derrived from the source. However, if you were the chinese military and so concerned, you may use the binary you built from the source... or more likely you wouldn't be using VMWare anyway because it's too complicated to control all variables and likely unneeded.
To be fair though, they should all get basic concepts like the battery meter on a smartphone or the gas gauge on your car... or a glass being about a 1/3 full
Is the likelihood that your T-Bone a concern at the store? Only if that brand is butchering old cattle (see >30 month), which the majority of US slaughterhouses don't do.
EXCEPT, I believe the reason BSE is not often found in young cattle is that it's hard to find the prions until they get to a certain ratio of the regular protine. Sort of like you said..
It only takes one of the right prions in the right place to cause Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. In other words, the cow could have the early stages of BSE(and is still contageous) but it is not detectable.
Does it really matter what percentage of the protine is bad?! Maybe... but I'd be as concerned for sketchy young cow as sketchy old cow.
The canabalistic feeding idea seems to me like a spin explaination. I mean: You can call it canibalism and have people think "stop feeding coys to cows" Or you can call it a contaminent and people will think "if an infected cow gives birth, and another cow later eats the grass or licks the calf..."
Seems like most of your answers are best found through further scientific study. But first, the scientists are on the way to the grocery store and pick up supplies.
I have never seen a wild chicken...even the wikipedia article for chicken that mentions wild chickes eat lizards, does not say that in the citation. Where do wild chickens live?!
Not if you genetically modify out it's ability to feel pain... and maybe the sheep can also be modified to be super strong and resilient... and maybe we can make them breed faster... and maybe we can make them eat meat so we don't need to feed them as often... and maybe we can make them smart so they can find their own meat...
I can't think of any reason that would be ethically wrong but if you pay me to study it, maybe I could... or couldn't.
actually I just grabbed the first thing that popped up for war and august... but IIRC most conflics in history escalated in late summer... including WWI
Since there are so many with a lack of understanding of technology, sensational headlines and assumptions will be used by propagandists to push their agenda. It's effective.

sure... so like domestic cats should eat gazelles then. I think I get it.
I see what you did there: you started typing arabic before you learned arabic.
Unless our understanding of the red-shift incorrect as well...
Shouldn't this be measurable by measuring the background radiation!?
You do realize the prions that cause mad cow are not JUST in the brains and nerves. http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2006/07/07/1681124.htm

Evolution did not happen in 3 or 4 generations... but processed foods and preservatives have.

I have the first IPv6 address! Bought it for lots of money.

Thats why all LEO devices need advanced ILO or DRAC licenses. Can I be CTO now?
But what constitutes use? Is this use? http://buywii.com/
Except... nuclear enrichment facilities were not on the net...
