If you wrote it down and they find it they can use it against you. If you've hidden it (either in your mind or you've buried it somewhere) I don't believe you should be compelled to reveal its location or verify its existence. I think it is conceptually similar to a buried body or discarded weapon in a murder trial.
Here's thing thing -- even if the intelligence community could break RSA and/or AES, they would not do so for a criminal case because doing so would require that they reveal their sources and methods under cross-examination.
It has really nice font smoothing. Superior to firefox+windows in that respect. The address bar as progress bar is neat also.
That said, I'm probably among the 100 people in the world that actually use the keyword feature of firefox. Meaning I type 'wiki term' in my address bar and it searches wikipedia for that term, with similar keywords for other common searches. This page gives you an idea of what you can do with the firefox keywords. I prefer not to display the search bar.
Safari won't let you set up keywords for searching different sites from you address bar, and that's a deal-breaker for me.
"The general.config.obscure_value preference specifies how the configuration file is obscured. Firefox expects that each byte in the file will be rotated by the specified value. The default value is 13. If this value is left unchanged, then the configuration file must be encoded as ROT13. Autoconfig will fail if the cfg file is not encoded as specified by this preference. A value of 0 indicates that the file is unencoded-- i.e. it is unobscured plain text. It is recommended that you set this value to 0. (This will allow you to skip the encoding step in part 3.)"
The flaw in question seemed to apply only to a web mail client which they are in the process of phasing out in favor of an open source solution, which is pretty interesting because it's the first I've seen which has support for S/MIME.
Presumably, the older system will be brought off line soon, as the flaw has been known for some time. When signing on in front of people who didn't know about the flaw, it was fun to make them think you had a password in excess of thirty characters.

A sane email policy blocks executable files and archives containing executables, but allowing dot docs in is probably unavoidable.
I wonder then, if it might be possible to scan a Word document for stuff that's not needed. Treat all dot docs that have VB in them as executables and block them out. You might go so far as to attempt intelligent analysis of the document to make sure it consists only of code that would reasonably be generated by a human being. Perform sanity checks on certain variables and so on.
The Rhapsody music subscription service relies heavily upon embedded IE to display its web interface.
With such a high level of integration between their application and a Microsoft product, it was no surprise that when IE7 was released, a lot of their functionality broke overnight.
So I've got some advice to offer for developers who might want to include a web browser within a larger application. One, consider Java, because it has some nice features for blending HTML with your user interface. Two, if you know for sure that your app's internal web browser will never view any pages but your own, you don't really need to worry about security upgrades. In that case you could static link in Gecko or something..NET might be another option to keep browser upgrades from pulling the rug out from under your app.
Rhapsody also has heavy hooks into services provided by Windows Media Player. Users with different versions of said player have also experienced difficulty.
Will Windows Vista content protection features increase CPU resource consumption?
Yes. However, the use of additional CPU cycles is inevitable, as the PC provides consumers with additional functionality. Windows Vista's content protection features were developed to carefully balance the need to provide robust protection from commercial content while still enabling great new experiences such as HD-DVD or Blu-Ray playback.

Am I the only one who things cyber is a stupid, stupid word?
I never use it, even though it seems I'm sometimes surrounded by people that do.
I prefer Electronic Crime or eCrime to Cybercrime, for example.
Internet Cafe or Net Cafe to CyberCafe and so on.
For all bloggers thump their chests about blogs being the new way to report the news, they are in my view just a new way to talk about the news.

If there is no evidence then release them.
But holding them indefinitely on hearsay and suspicion in a legal limbo is madness. This is sparta.
Seems like they're taking a page from the banker's textbook.
Yeah, I think some PR firm is pushing that Fastap product.
Well, even if it's not accurate, I think it shows you did due diligence. Very much the same as a site asking for a birthday for age verification.

It just goes to show,
it isn't what you did,
but who you know.
(and how much money you have)
Don't most ISPs (in the U.S.) already do that?

It'd be nice if IPv6 would do more guard against spoofing; it tackles some of the issues, but not all.

So easy to use, no wonder it's number one!
The more interesting case is where the difficulty is tuned such that there really is only one group capable of tackling said challenge on each server.
Hee.
The only reason I keep a phone line is because I prefer DSL.
I've been burned by poor quality service from COX too many times in the past.
I think laws should be put into place such that I don't need a phone line if all I want is DSL.
In the current verbiage, security is either-or, where trust is graded.

At a certain university, this was also the case.

Emphasis mine.
Did they say they were using drivers? It's probably just directshow.
