  1. No OS is perfectly secure on WinXP Security Flaw · · Score: 1

    So why bother even trying to secure one? But hey, look at the pretty graphics.

  2. Re:Need to test real world applications on Crusoe and Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    The question that begs to be asked here is, "How many users NEED to search and replace a 250 page document? How many Excel users even know what a Black-Schols analysis is?" Honestly, that's like telling the average user that they need a Cray because it runs weather simulations so much faster than their Macintosh.

  3. Stego on Unintrusive Traffic Content Monitoring? · · Score: 2

    Unfortunately, you don't have a chance. There is a little known counterpart to the science of cryptography - the ugly stepchild, steganography. Steganography is the branch of computer science concerned with hidden communication - not (as encryption) communicating so that others cannot understand - but hiding the existance of communication. If somebody is bright enough to piggyback a couple of bits of data onto emails or (even better) send small strings of data encoded in URLS as GET requests to an imaginary server outside your network . . . I think you get the point. Against a determined, or at least half-witted, attacker, you are powerless.
