There are a lot of cases where this kind of approach went terribly wrong, but, what are the alternatives to solve the fire ant problem, without causing far more problems?
Surveillance cameras all around are set by your father government, company, city, etc. But a peer of you, a brother, hacks all those devices with common and not so safe access methods, and becomes a (somewhat dangerous) big brother.
At least is what Hollywood want you to believe, anyone that could be qualified as hacker there can control all surveillance cameras around you.
This dont make silence, but try to turn deaf what they think are the potential listeners. Is like putting a photo of a sunset in front of a specific vigilance camera.
There was a old sci-fi story about a similar device, that did something like echoes the sound with a delay to make the sound waves cancel and make silence. That wouldnt work in real world, but if is the same basic idea could the patent be challenged?
You could qualify it as netbook, but probably what really started the craze was the XO, the idea of a $100 notebook for every child. It had most of the attributes that make it a not so bad idea, price, long battery life, wifi, etc.
A fast reading got me confused about that terminology. Lets see: - Last july Microsoft bought Powerset, that were developing what would be the base of a semantic search engine. - That company (before all of that) used Hadoop, and helped to build over it a BigTable-like distributed storage engine, called HBase. - And in last october (thats Microsoft contribution to open source) Microsoft enabled the Powerset's developers that were contributing to HBase to continue their work there.
They aren't releasing any "new" open souce, just some of the new employees keep contributing to a project they helped to start when they weren't inside Microsoft. What they will be releasing (not as source, only as service) a new search engine based on that work.
Not just asking slashdot:) Which megacorp? they had other acquisitions? how well or bad went for them? And what happened to their "child projects"?
The 1st megacorp that comes to my mind is google, that bought a lot of companies, and some of their products got dumped, others got integrated into bigger projects, and other got their own life and meaning after that. And, of course, the tale of Oracle->Sun->Mysql
Probably a good amount of "misbehaving" black hats/botnet owners/spammers live within US. Long before even thinking going hostile over another country some house cleaning should be in order.
In the other hand, could this give a future government the perfect excuse to attack whatever country they want? - Infiltrate agent (in the case is needed a physical person for that, a hacked pc would do the work too) - Make him hack something thru internet - ??? - INVADE!
Reading about collisions and gaming consoles risk to put the context far away from the crypto topic, specially if you think that PK and SHA-1 could be great as car model names.
Put it in a Second life-like environment, where the avatars of the speakers say what they did in the mailing list, start wars with flamethrowers, put smiling faces every third comment and and roll on the floor laughting.
Instead of government taxing big tobacco, banning or disencourage its use, will promote and encourage its use, claiming that most have filters, and we have cheaper clinics that treats smoking related diseases,
Someone lost the clue where the problem is, and what are the best steps to solve it. Is like asking government to just give aspirines to stop the swine flu.
Probably the numbers are far more generous to linux if you dont count just desktop usage, but how many linux systems are running around.
Linux is less oriented to desktop that Windows, in the sense that you can run it without a desktop, no gui at all. Having windows practically means having a desktop, having linux could mean a lot of things from your router to the amazon/google clouds that aren't desktops
But regarding on how you are counted, the 1% stat took in account is the PC from where you do your main public internet browsing. Only that, but it have its own meaning.
Some of the alternatives question for that answer are scary:
- How many linux desktops are around? - At what year of this century more than 50% of the desktops will be linux? - Which percent of computers (desktop or not) run linux? - How much trillons you will ask us to give the real answer? - How many seconds to the end of the world?
It forgot to list as malware one of the most deadliest computer attack vectors of internet: the slashdot effect. In human terms, probably could count as overdose (could be somewhat healthy things, like aspirines, water, etc)
Definately is not "libre" as in open source. Definately is not "gratis" as in free beer. Sometimes english is not enough to explain a concept. But still... free with expiration date isnt free/gratis/libre/whatever, is just delayed payment.
Retaliation against a real world country because one, a few or several of the attacking parties were doing the final/traceable connection from there could not be very fair, and could show how close is militar intelligence with absolute stupidity.
Even if could be attacks lauched by other countries government internet addresses, but how you separate government willing to do that attack from some individuals there just checking the waters without autorization?
What is worse, what were the biggest internet attacks till today in general? From Morris worm to Conficker, passing thru all the spam in the middle, all were done by individuals and groups not related with government. There was the cyberattack to Estonia (?) some years ago, that was done more by individuals than from a government.
With nuclear bombs at least you have them enclosed in silos, military security, isolated. You need a small army to try to get one if not get disabled before. But a clever kid could take for its own benefit (from turning it to you or launching a big attack at your name) your entire botnet from the safety of his home.
But i have to agree that the 1st cyberattack from America was a big success. Crippled most of the computers of the world, caused lots of damages to other countries and still is active doing its work. But still, you cant say for sure if was launched by the government or Microsoft Corporation.
I would call that the future. But you will need a second foundation, to maintain the predicted events unknown for the people that affect those events, or things will not work.
That happened to me a bit before going to linux, in fact, was in OS/2, around '95, doing a Pascal program, when i created a 10Mb array in a 16Mb ram pc. When a couple of years i landed into (slackware?) linux just took that for granted.

After seeing how much miracles you can do with it, i think is well into the cult arena.
Anyway, as language C have an edge... it turned ascii code into Wine.

Computer malware dont kill y
April 1st was more than a month ago.
One reporter was sure about hearing that US Air Force was starting to use XP Windows, and another wasnt so sure about the P there.
Definately is not "libre" as in open source. Definately is not "gratis" as in free beer.

I tought that Schindler's List was from the 40's, but this one seems a bit more recent.

Checking YouTube is now a routine part of many police investigations
I'd bet that checking other kind of *tube sites is more like their daily routines for a part of them.
If the attackers have root access to your linux box, they could use this vulnerability to get root access.
Now we must get a time machine and a paradox solving engine, and the vulnerability will turn to be pretty scary.
Which MySQL? By know MySQL have more flavors than ice cream.
Some of the versions wil
