That's a trillion bucks there at today's prices. I'm not Jewish, but the chutzpah displayed by HBGary's Barr, is astonishing. He doesn't even know basic password stuff, and he's selling advanced crypto-skills to the USA? Chutzpah!
Your fault, fool. Why was he allowed to do that? Bad sysadmin!
Uhhh...how EXACTLY is it my fault when I had nothing to do with the purchase or administration and was brought in after the whole thing was fscked?
Ah. You appear to suffer from the same condition as me; walking into clusterfuck after clusterfuck, and not asking enough questions first. It's amazing how many of those there are out there these days.
Of course I knew this a couple of years back when I had a local SMB buy into magical thinking with "If we replace Windows with OSX we'll never have to worry about security again!" and promptly got pwned when his teenager trying to get free porn installed the DNS Changer bug. It turned out the classic "Want to see teh boobies? Instal our free "Iz_Not-a-Bug codec" social engineering crosses OS boundaries quite well.

I for one wish the guys porting darkcomet to the Mac the very best of luck. I also wish those who hope and intend to use it maliciously against Mac users the very best of luck at backdooring those smug assholes.
WTF is wrong with you? Are you Geoffry Dahmer reincarnated, or what? Do you kick crutches out from under cripples as a hobby too?
"Greek": dark-skinned, muscular Mediterranean men and well-toned, graceful women. "French": homosexual men with nasally voices and hairy women who smell like stale cigarettes.
"Greek": guys who've no compunction wrt playing with boys. "French": know what their women like, and ensure they get it.
It's accurate in that you don't want this particular Trojan to open and release all of your little Greeks into your partner's Troy.
But that's what it (the horse) was designed to do. I agree, it's a weird application of the name Trojan. They should have used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maginot_Line - much more sexy. French even.
Hitler had about as much strategic sense as a sausage sandwich[1], and he drove many brilliant scientists - some of whom were key in creating the atom bomb - out of the country.
So now imagine WW2 with somebody competent in charge of the krauts.
Why assume there'd be a war? The Wehrmacht didn't want a war. Hitler did.
Zimbabwe is even worse as the military has sided with Mugabe and have all the guns.
Yabut, the military of any country cares less for their politicos than we do, on average. Write a new constitution, then let's get on with it! Hand back power from military ("Keep me out of it!"), then carry on.
Tunisia and Cairo stood up to their military, and their militaries refused to fight their own people. Take heart!
Spend money on public projects, hire millions of workers, then start a war for resources so you can balance your failing budget and put the workers that have nothing better to do now into the military.
WWII: Ten million innocent civillian bystanders later, hundreds of thousands of Allied and Axis casualties later, hundreds of thousands doomed to slow deaths by radiation poisoning,... Followed by a few decades (Cold War) of deadly indecision,...
Methinks you underestimate the cost of the enterprise.
Nobody wins in war. One side loses less than the other, but that's all, and that's the best that can happen.
For all we know Hitler was the best thing to happen to us.
I think the millions of civillian casualties would disagree. Given the chance, I'd take him out in a heartbeat, and exhort others to do same if I fail.
If no-one steps up and forces justice and freedom, it won't happen.
No, it won't. Yet today, Tunisia and Egypt are now free-er.
Zimbabweans can free themselves all by themselves. Foreign intervention, unnecessary. I look forward to seeing pictures of Mugabe and Kadaffi hanging from meathooks, a la Mussolini. Have fun!

I'm a Linux guy (since '93), and I liked ME. It seemed far more predictable than other versions I used. It's also the last version I bothered with.
Should've. He just doesn't get apostrophies.
Self abuse comes to mind. Why'd anyone subject themselves to this? 3.1, and copying a file to a floppy demands you go make coffee.
What the !@#$ was that bolt-on network stack called again? Thank $DEITY for Linus.
Gov't officials, Congressional Investigation, Senate Hearings, various $BLAH embarassed, heads roll, $SOMETHINGMAGICALHAPPENS, ...

I sympathise.

C|K>k, thanks. Ick.
Aww, you're just trying to escape typo nazis (like me). Dyslexia is just a cry in the dark. :-)
Compilers don't let bad code through. Why should our text editors?
Fsck, this is as funny as hell! Sorry Linus. You're now memed.
Get the fok outa here! :-)
And "Linux Torvalds" is a beautiful name.
Flaimbait, really?!? Wow, some of you are really out there!
Some of us here do try to live up to that mention of "nerds" above (well, it used to be there. I prefer "geeks" personally, but I've been outvoted).
We make mistakes from time to time, and get lazy, but that's when the rest of you stand up, and rip us a new one. /. enhances one's focus. Thanks.
WTF is wrong with you? Are you Geoffry Dahmer reincarnated, or what? Do you kick crutches out from under cripples as a hobby too?
Get a life. You need a new one.
"Greek": guys who've no compunction wrt playing with boys.
"French": know what their women like, and ensure they get it.
If you're going to stereotype, try harder.

Ah, I've been waiting for that shoe to drop, but that femtoparsec/second post kept me amused in the meantime, thanks. I love it here sometimes.

For some of us, this is important. We remember all the slights people suffer. Mugabe's not un-watched.
I think the millions of civillian casualties would disagree. Given the chance, I'd take him out in a heartbeat, and exhort others to do same if I fail.
You realize this includes Einstein? He concluded that writing that note to Roosevelt was one of the worst things he'd done.
I disagree.
I strongly agree. Also consider, "Shivving Nazis in the back on the streets of Warsaw." That's the attitude this sort of thing takes. It'd be fun!
Make your oppressors lives hell. Make 'em think they're in Stalingrad!
No, it won't. Yet today, Tunisia and Egypt are now free-er.
Zimbabweans can free themselves all by themselves. Foreign intervention, unnecessary. I look forward to seeing pictures of Mugabe and Kadaffi hanging from meathooks, a la Mussolini. Have fun!
Really?!? So, you don't read history too?
Obvious: I strongly suggest you re-read Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". "To Kill a Mockingbird" is good too.
Of course, tribalism and nationalism are bad. How can you not know this? Open your eyes.
