Sure, because with an Ugandan passport he has his pick of attractive destinations with fine internet and clean water. Japan sounds nice. Or how about Monaco? These and many other countries are no doubt begging for African immigrants.
Looking at things inside someone's private space (such as a house, car, safe, etc..) is a possible way to prepare oneself to steal. This is a fact and cannot be debated.
It's a fact but it's a stupid one (not to mention the egregious fallacy of equating looking in a car with looking in a safe).
Waking up in the morning is a possible way to prepare oneself to throw a grenade into a kindergarten classroom. This is a fact and cannot be debated.
There are many reasons people look into cars. Like the other poster says above, I have looked into hundreds of cars in my lifetime but never stolen anything from any of them - or even considered it.
Most people who donate to charities imagine that the money will go to help poor little starving orphan senior citizen babies made blind from polio... not 80% on fundraising and admin. They are unaware of the overheads. It's not an informed choice.
what's abduction of children (which is cold-stone mind-numbingly serious shit) go to do with unsecured wireless - I don't follow your association of the two?
Abduction of children has to do with anything that you don't want other people to do. All you have to do is claim that "X [enables | facilitates | coexists with | is spelled almost the same as] pedophilia", and the lynch mobs will light their torches and fight your battle for you.
To be fair, if you did it, 99 times out of 100, they'd say "thank you very much" and that would be the end of it. If, on the other hand, you were that unlucky 1 in 100, it would make the front page of Slashdot. Then a million little nerds would see it and spend the rest of the day posting righteously indignant responses, instead of doing their statistics homework, and they would never learn the difference between hearing a lot about something, and that thing actually being common.
I was borrowing someone's Toyota the other day here in Malaysia. I managed to lock the keys in the car. I went to the parking lot attendant, he phoned a friend of his who showed up on a scooter in about 5 minutes with a big keychain. The 3rd or 4th key he tried opened it.
You just plain shouldn't be hanging out in a parking lot where you don't have a car in most cases. And you DEFINITELY shouldn't be taking an inventory of what's in which car. That is, plain and simple, preparation to steal from the vehicles. Not to steal the cars, just their contents.
So now looking at things is preparation to steal them? Is looking a woman preparation to rape her? What about slowing down and looking twice? Perhaps you need a burka for your car.
Fine, I suggest we determine who is most deserving by the age old method of "who has earned the ability to do it". Now...inheriting the wealth isn't exactly earning it, but Jobs didn't inherit the wealth he used. So...no problems here right?
What if I "earned" my money by winning the lottery? Insider trading? Other non-productive financial shenanigans? There are a lot of ways to get rich without providing anything of value, or even by making the world a worse place.
An individual, faced with death, did everything he could to survive. That isn't exactly much different than anyone else.
As far as non-north-american countries go - the UAE is very progressive.
A statement that could only come from someone with basically no international experience or knowledge. UAE is as progressive as the Salem Witch Trials. The only reason people even notice it is because it's more progressive than neighbours like Saudi Arabia, which are among the most oppressive/regressive/big-messive in the world. This has allowed the Emirates to emerge as a more comfortable destination for regional oil money.
Further hint: North America, on a population basis (i.e., mostly USA) is not very progressive in the first place.
A better analogy would be: the customer buys a hamburger, then someone named basementman walks up to him and starts trying to make an analogy that is totally irrelevant and makes no sense, then the customer throws the hamburger at basementman and goes home.
You do not need root privileges to break out of a chroot. If you can find a file descriptor which was opened before the call to chroot() you can break out of the chroot. That is only one example
It's more of a notion than an example. Given an open file descriptor and no root privileges, how exactly would you break out of a chroot on a reasonably common and up-to-date system?

R.I.P. FTP

· Score: 2, Interesting
Unfortunately, raw FTP still rules when you need a high bandwidth. With SCP/SFTP I get consistently 4-5 times lower transfer speeds compared to FTP.
Switch to the blowfish cipher, it will speed things up substantially. This is an option in most gui clients; in openssh you can use the -c switch.
WITH the single exception I know of, that incoming email will bounce with something like "domain not found" if there is no DNS response at all, vs if there is DNS but the MX record servers can't be reached it'll silently retry.
Common myth but quite untrue (try it for yourself). If there is no response from any DNS server then it will be considered a temporary failure and delivery attempts will continue at intervals in the background just as if the MX target(s) were not responding.
Only if a server can be reached and returns status NXDOMAIN will delivery abort immediately.
It has to be so. Otherwise any MTA that delivers outbound mail would start bouncing everything in its queue any time it suffered a connectivity interruption and could not reach its own DNS forwarder.
I've seen some people game this by having a single nameserver with two IP addresses, which strikes me as the height of stupidity
If everything referenced by the DNS records (web and email services or whatever) is hosted on the same machine as the name server, then it isn't particularly stupid. It's just a small operation that has a single point of failure; redundant DNS isn't going to change that.
The London Stock Exchange outage was so famous that I wouldn't have thought it necessary to mention. It's kind of like you saying you know of no specific examples of Germans being mean to Jews.
How could you jump into the middle of a loop or a switch statement? It doesn't make sense. Essential context is missing. They ruled that out for a good reason; it's like teleporting into a blender.

Unlike the US, only some of the member states of the EU use the common currency.
You have to admit his take on it has a certain je ne sais quoi.
Then most people are logic-impaired.
It's true that there's no way to prove god doesn't exist.
However, it is possible to prove that it does exist (if in fact it does). All it has to do is show up and be counted.

Um, if your network is unencrypted then anyone can see your MAC address and spoof it.
What's to stop you from dressing up like a cop and tasering every old grandmother you see?
It's illegal to impersonate a cop.

Here's something that actually answers my question rather than just repeating its antecedent, in case anyone else has it:

What's a feature of fanilla FTP that you find missing in sftp?
If it's a subnet, stuff can leave it. Maybe the source of others' confusion is that you're thinking of a closed network.
% sftp -oCipher=none myserver.example.com

Uh oh... time to hit my sshd_config.
