BO2K remains a monumental pain in the nuts for innocent Windows administrators.
What makes you think this is the first program to do this. What CDC did *for* innocent Windows admins is shine a bright light on the problem.
Do you really think CDC are the first to use a tool like this? Its's not. It is well known. The other tools that do this will not be found by a virus checker.
I saw that too! I was amazed CompUSA carrying Linux!
But they had them piled up in a corner by a doorway, way off to the side. What was really amazing was they had 4 versions of Linux! It was great! Red Hat, Mandrake, Open Linux and S.U.S.E! Now if they could just get those games out of the corner!
It really isn't that far from what we have now, when you think about it. How many times have you had to give your social security number or other personal information to get a job. Have you bought anything from Radio Shack lately?
We really don't have all that much privacy to lose.
If you give out your SS number to Radio Shack you deserve the Identity rape you are about to suffer.
PS If they do rape you... just lay back and relax and enjoy it! =0
When virus writers moved to an open source model in 1996, there was an explosion in macro viruses,
Excuse me ?? Macro Viruses? Wasn't it Microsofts own macro language that resulted in the rise of Macro Viruses. Open source had nothing to do with it. Damm read that line again what a load of Bullsh#t!
If you go to the BO2k website you'll see that Microsoft uses the STEALTH feature in their own product.

SMS is Microsoft's remote admin tool for Windows. As it happens, SMS has a nearly identical stealth feature. As a matter of fact, they explain this feature in a Word document available from the Microsoft website:

I am not saying that math is all useless just extremely difficult to understand
difficult for you...
people in areas of pure math (where most of cs started) do not really think about how to apply this knowledge to anything really useful to most.
You really don't know what your talking about here. Just because *you* can't figure out math doesn't mean that it's useless. I think because... you can't figure out math you think it's useless. If you knew anything about math you know that looking for a "useful" purpose for it is pointless. A useful purpose will find the math or it won't. There wasn't a good use for Boolean Algebra for a long time, then computers came around. I guess Boole should have waited a hundred years. Damm that smart ass! IMHO CS Majors could use a lot more Math and English experience.
Damm! That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! Why don't we tap the phones of everyone in Manhattan cause one of those people committed a crime once! I think it was the pooper scooper law someone broke.
...listen to any conversation of mine you want. If you don't like what you hear you shouldn't have been listening. If you catch me doing something illegal or dangerous, I have no one to blame but myself for committing the act.
If they don't like what your saying they might just take you away. I love this idea of "I'm not doing anything wrong so I'm safe!" There are evesdropping laws in the US for *GOOD* reason!
I don't know if you noticed that they want to throw people in jail for burning flags nowadays! Please go to www.eff.org a do some reading.
By the time you use the stuff they are programming a 500 mhz processor will be low end. Just keep thinking, in 18 months we will have 1.2 Ghz chips! I know people talk about bloat but unless you push the envelope, some things don't happen.

Yes but they still need the passphrase to unlock the message. You can just keep the passphrase to yourself. (take the fifth?) I know you can talk about temp files and swap files and stuff, but if you look at real world examples those things don't usually come into play. If you are really paranoid then you can get the tools to scrub your hd anywhere. In my opinion it's not the government that would be crippled by crypto it's small time spooks like jealous boyfriends and industrial spys. I think crypto would stop more crime than it would hide!

You are definitely right. Cracking rc5 isn't really useful any more, since the point has already been made.
The point has been made? Who acknowledged this? The point hasn't been made yet. But the government is starting to see the light. They are close but we must keep up the pressure!

No listening to cordless 46/49mhz phones is legal. But you have to understand that it is the public airwaves. It doesn't belong to a company. You should be able to listen to any radio frequency. This cell phone law is a big change from the old days when HAMs and the Government agreed that the airwaves belong to the public. This changed probably due to the encryption problem and the government. The obvious solution is to encrypt but that scared them to death. So they made it illegal.

the GPL would force them to give the source to it to everyone, including their competitors.
WP didn't release their source, did they? So what 's your point?
Think of it this way. IBM could release code as BSD but are scared because their competitors could use it in their products. But if they use GPL they know it can't be used in another product. So IBM, HP, Compaq can all contribute to a common OS. They will all benefit.
Here is my value-added : Linux with WP on top! No need to release code.
So he no longer controls "his" work. Same thing for any other GPL'd work of any magnitude.
That is a good thing! That is what we want! You effectively give your code to the free world! Then there is no turning back. I wouldn't have it any other way.

thus forcing him to possibly reinvent the wheel when he could have simply used the GPL'd code

You have no right to exercise rights over *HIS* code.
