During the cold war we were given the impression that Soviet forces were the equal of their NATO adversaries, but now we know better.
The Russians sent a bunch of heroin addicts and alcoholic draftees to Afghanistan to fight the CIA-by-proxy. The Russian army today is no better - look at Chechnya.
The Russians managed to kill more than 1 million of the Afghan population w/ only about 15,000 of their own dead over the
course of 10 years. Still, the Afghans where unrelenting with their defense. Reports of Afghan soldiers mortally wounded firing
their weapons until death. Suicide bomber and Ambush tactics, etc. etc.
To say the Russians were incompetent, is completely ridiculous. A 100:1.5 kill ratio is nothing to sneeze at. A more accurate
description is to say that the Afghans are a very strong, tenacious warrior w/ the the major advantage of knowing the terrain
better than any of our Intelligence community could hope to prep our soldiers for.
The fact that the vast majority of heat sinks is only fixed to the little notches of SocketA doesn't help. We have seen several occasions when those notches finally broke under the weight of the heat sink.
The removal of the heat sink proves to be fatal. In less than a second Athlon 1400 dies the heat death. It doesn't take long and the core reaches a temperature of extremely hefty 370 degrees Celsius / 698 degrees Fahrenheit. If the user of the Athlon system doesn't turn off his box immediately, the motherboard will be destroyed too. There's even the risk of a fire.
If this weren't coming from tomshardware.com, I'd be pretty sure that this was some sort of Intel ADVERTisement. I seriously doub that the CPU blows up the second you remove the fan.
It's always a tragedy when a life is lost, but as far as i remember there is still death penalty in the USA and they seem to like nuking the shit out of small countries. I don't rationalize killing. Americans do.
The only time the death penalty is used is extreme murder cases and Japan was hardly a small, furry, harmless country at the time. They had just killed thousands of Americans without warning or provocation.
I don't usually respond to such flame bait but you're level of ignorance mixed with your attitude is dangerous. Please think before you respond. I don't think you can shove that foot much further down your mouth.
Well, the USA got what it deserved... They believed that they are above other people and that their army and missile defences can protect them. They lived in a ignorance of what really happened in the rest of the world.
How do you rationalize killing thousands? You're as much of the problem as the terrorists. You should be ashamed of your attitude.
A co-worker recieved a call from a friend at American Airlines (he works at the airline's call center) and apparently there was a call from a flight attendant reporting that the hi-jackers where of arabic origin and that 2 flight attendants and a passenger (trying to put up a struggle) was killed with a knife.
A key was taken from one of the flight attendants and they entered the cabin and killed the pilots.
How can we solve/prevent problems like this? Here are some suggestions:
1. Require every airplane to have a secure remote override feature, and some way to alert HQ of aberrant behavior or flight patterns.
2. Anti-aircraft installations in major metropolitan areas? Sounds extreme, but the technology is evolving (in fact, much faster than the aircraft technology to avoid it).
If you are using key based authentication then they are going to need more than just your password.
As I understand it, the password just allows you to decrypt the private key w/ a symmetrical cipher. Then the connection is encrypted w/ the public/private key pair. This means they actually have to have physical acess (with read filesystem permissions) to the private key as well as the password.

What's even better, is Mozilla has a great gui e-mail proggie. It's very basic when stacked up to Outlook of course, in fact right now it barely keeps pace with Outlook express, but it will do the job adequately.
Wow, your experience is much better than mine. I can barely use the email client. It dogs my machine completely into the dirt (I've tried multiple machines [yes, they were all running good hardware]).
At least they finally got the LDAP support working in the address book.
Teach programming to everyone (Thanks to GvR) and teach kids a command line in school. Make them understand the technology that they'll use every day of their lives. Let our kids develop some computer savy and brains.
People use things everyday without understanding the full scope of how it does what it does.
If you think that everyone should know the internals of computer science, let's take it a step further. Let's also require that every student take an auto-mechanics class. They should also all have to take cooking classes as well becuase you can't really appreciate a fine Beurre Blanc sauce until you know how to make it yourself.
WIMP interfaces make people dumb.
The fact is that everyone has their own interests. They allocate their memory to other things that we have no knowledge of or interest in. It doesn't make them stupid.
In fact, I feel that if my users have to understand every little detail of computer science to get their jobs done, then I'm not doing my job very well.
This is just the sort of bastardization I hate. If you want to run Linux (I do (Run it that is.)), buy/build an f'ing computer. PS2's may be cheap, but by the time you've got a keyboard/mouse, etc, it just doesn't loook quite so attractive. Plus the onboad storage is so limited.
Actually, the Japanese version comes w/ a 40G Hard Drive, mouse, and keyboard (among other things).
Ooh, better keep people from looking at my signature! If they see it, they might want to forge it elsewhere! There's nothing to keep them from doing that! Oh no!
You obviously have no concept of what a secure business environment is like. PGP sig's on files can be really important when distributing sensitive data/programs to your business partners and co-workers. If someone adds a backdoor or virus into a program that I regluarly distribute w/ my PGP sig, I'm going to have a hell of a lot of explaining to do.... to the security guard as he tosses my ass out the front door.
Of course, in the real world, most of us understand that little things like 'keyboard snooping' and 'phone tapping' are seriously un-important. I'm much more concerned about the real threats like Unlawful Search and Seizure than I am about someone knowing my password for/. or MP3.Com. Who the h377 cares?
Of course, in the real world, most of us have more important things to worry about than credit cards or mp3.com passwords. It would be just great if the twirp on the other side of the wall from me grabbed my Oracle passw'd and decided to go in and give himself a raise. I would just love it if if someone snooped my root passwd to our database server and deleted everything and puta rootkit in place. I just love restoring from backup all night long. You know what would be really cool? If someone where to catch my workstations shell account passwd and decide to go hack on fbi.gov. The list goes on and on..
But then again, I agree w/ the 1st post. I wouldn't have one to begin with. I can't relate to where you coming from. Then again, maybe I don't live in the real world.
I recommend you go and read Applied Cryptography - the whole premise of encryption is that while some people can read the data, most people can't. Think about it..
I believe it's the network socket that's encrypted, not the file. In order to securely encrypt the file, you'd have to encrypt it w/ everyone's public key that would request it.
Inject some really illegal information into the FreeNet (kiddie porn comes to mind, since it's the anti-freedom crowd's favorite bogeyman these days)
Go somewhere else and search for it
Find the person who owns the server you got it from, and throw them in jail
Hmm.. they don't seem to be doing that now even though everyone is doing it out in the open (join #movie-central on dalet for an example). Do you really think making it a 100 times harder is going to promote productivity?

More secure cockpit cabins.

how is simple information illegal

Its been around for at least 4-5 years already.

WTF makes this any different than any other kid? This happens every damn day.
It's great seeing dotcomscoop.com (which is a faction of Stile Project ) being sponsered by Save the Children!!!!
It makes my heart just a little warmer.

Now their gonna have actual programmers to find new ways to pop-up windows faster than you can close them.
Look out pr0n world. Here I cum.
