Begin 'security through obscurity' vs a 'measurably secure system'.
Well security through obscurity, however bashed here on Slashdot, is certainly a way of making it more difficult to get into an unencrypted message. Security through obscurity vs a measurably secure system is almost an academic vs commercial war in that academics need to analyse and prove the algorithms while commercial people tend to use what has historically worked. I'm sure there are dozens more bugs yet to be unearthed in Windows that have already been patched and fixed in Linux. This doesn't make Windows bad and Linux better but instead different ways of looking at the same thing...
If you're god looking in a system (the academic) - immediately identifying all exploits then you can make the system more approvable to you and other gods. But when you can't analyse the system and can only prod the black box you certainly have a much less chance of finding flaws. Also the development time in making something you would be proud of showing others (fear of peer review in a closed source world) may be better spent elsewhere. Again - this doesn't make closed encryption systems worse just different.
Open systems tend to have more bugs found and fixed but closed systems have far fewer exploits found -- they're about the same.
The funny thing is that you would have never responded if they said what a beautiful mind they had. It's shallow to think it's so deep and sensitive to appreciate the mind but not the body.
Being unhealthy is naturally unattractive. I see nothing evil or shallow about pointing this out.
Open source software isn't about niche purpose software. Open source software shines on popular widespread hardware - less so on unpopular hardware.

Spaces vs. Tabs?
·
· Score: 1
What rules might one use to display (convert per session) spaces to tabs or vice versa? How many spaces == a tab? Do you convert all spaces or only the ones on the left of a line.. bah bah bah..
Tabs serve a different purpose to spaces. When indenting use tabs. When spacing use spaces. The only reason for spacing in is stupid editors with queer indentation.
Chemicals into the table? Dear god man you sound like a skin care advert where the presenter keeps saying there are no chemicals in this product... then what is the product made from?
So, Bad Chemicals then, we're agreed? When a big bad corporation puts big bad chemicals into your water supply you would have as much recourse as if they had killed your grandmother -- and don't you forget it. There is no right to poison you and the ones you love (hell, if you talk about "chemicals" being evil one would assume you'd be a sucker for the "and ones you love" line) and Libertarian Philosophy defends this. We're bitches, but you're an idiot. So we're even.
Lefties believe in big government - Righties believe in big markets. Libertarian's dislike locking out competitors for the same reason they hate monopolies as if removes choice. Libertarian philosphy is about choice. Lefty is about removing choice and protecting you from yourself.
Please also note that while the Ogg Vorbis format is published under a GPL licence the libraries are BSD. I was impressed to read that RMS agreed a BSD style licence was best suited for in this case (and, one would assume, file formats in general - but not software).
Dude, ignore the comment rating. KTB is obviously trolling for the definition of racism with side-order of salad and liberal hatred and 'one did wrong they're all idiots' logic. KTB is uncombed, living under a bridge, and green with bit ole' pimple on it's nose.
The queer thing is that no browser won the browser war, standards did. Or rather the war moved on to newer and more debatable teritory. Microsoft, Netscape, and Opera agree on HTML/XHTML+CSS1 which is enough for most webpages but the battle isn't fought in webpages anymore. It's distributed computing and more advanced realtime XML streams, XML-RPC and newer technology such.
By all means credit Microsoft for winning the browser war, but winning quibbles over the layout of pages isn't much.

Oh, and Klerk, no "lever" jokes please.
I have found Postgres to be pitifully slow compared to MySQL. It's not like the 5k site requires any RMDBS features - MySQL would be a good choice.
Case in point, "All your base are belong to us!!"
In the future could you please put a hyphen between po and mo? As is, it looks like porno. I was confused for precious seconds.
Offtopic? moderators, you haven't a clue do ya?
