    > Interfering with the election process goes beyond the people influencing how the government is run - otherwise, it would be OK for me to, for instance, publish fliers with the incorrect date for the election and post them in areas that are heavily populated with the political party I oppose.

    Sounds legal to me. What law would you be violating?

    Let's try this: Hey everyone, the election is on Thursday November 4, 2004.

    Do you mean to say I just committed a crime!?

  2. Re:WEP? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA on Wardriving Worries Residents · · Score: 4, Informative

    You can easily crack the WEP key in under an hour these days. All ARP packets are 40 bytes (and nothing else is), so all you have to do is wait for one of those, then inject it back into the network. New replies will be generated, and you'll have more data for key-cracking. Repeat 1000 times a second, and enjoy your new AP :)

  3. Re:In other news on Wardriving Worries Residents · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Actually you can inject ARP packets very easily into WEP'd networks and get lots and lots of packets as a result. WEP is useless. Try 802.1x or at least WPA.

    My point is you can say that "if Linux had that many users..." all you want, but you have no proof. Windows is really not a good OS.

    But not everyone runs Linux or Mac! So there isn't a problem! Convenient, eh.

    BUT, I disagree. There are more Apache servers than IIS servers, but there are more IIS 'sploits than Apache exploits. Explain that :)

    First thing I want to do is head to the Add/Remove programs control panel, click "remove" and be done with it. I don't want to click Yes and No 4 times questioning why I want to uninstall, I don't want to enter randomly generated keys to uninstall, I don't want to hunt for registry keys and hidden files to manually uninstall, and I sure as hell don't want shit to reinstall upon reboot.


    Don't use Windows, then! I've never heard of anyone having these problems with a Mac or on a Linux box.

    Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.

    The directors of the firm hired to
    continue the credits after the other
    people had been sacked, wish it to
    be known that they have just been
    sacked.

    The credits have been completed
    in an entirely different style at great
    expense and at the last minute.

    Hmm, I paid a grand total of $2000 for college this year. All of that was because I wanted to live in the dorms and not commute.

    But I know, college isn't an option for everyone. I don't really know what to say other than that's why we have a government. We that can make a lot of money give some to the people that can't.

  14. Re:Cool story on Inside Wal-Mart IT · · Score: 0

    But thanks to Wal-Mart, prices move lower and less money is needed to live. So even though they pay nothing, thanks to that everyone gets a higher standard of living for the same $$$. This is the opposite of inflation, which makes it a good thing!

    Besides, if you don't want to make minimum wage, go to college or something!

    Hmm talking to a network? It can't do that anymore without some configuration. Unless you're on a 10.0.0.x network, in which case it shares your printer and discs by default.
