I don't get your position. JS and "mod_perl" solve two different problems. You're apparently a very stupid person.
JS solves the problem of making the page locally interactive [like a Java Applet] and mod_perl solves the problem of making the page externally interactive.
Say you want a simple form helper. CGI/mod_perl would be slow and cause a lot of traffic. A simple set of JS could tell a user when a combo is invalid without having to send stuff to your server.
Also there is a DOM standard. I've designed pages that work equally as well in Netscape and IE. The trick is not to go for the fancier browser-specific elements of JS.
Javascript is EVIL. It's like a C++ compiler on your local machine, accessible to anyone who's sites you visit.
How's that? JS cannot access your kernel or OS [higher level] at all. The only damage JS can do to a properly written browser is slow down the rendering of the document. Just hit the "stop" button [or back or whatever] to kill it.
Also technology cannot be "evil". You're just being ignorant. The bugs you mention are not flaws of JS but rather the implementation. What you should have said is "IE is evil for having bugs in its JS implementation" but I guess the distinction is just too complicated for your feeble brain to understand.
"not a disease" but can be a huge risk. The reason its done in hospitals in North America is to reduce the risk of complications. Personally [I'm male] if a 7 pound creature was falling out of me I'd want some doctors around... I dunno, just my pref's:-)
Some dot-head in a farm out in the middle of nowhere is telling huge US companies "do or die"?
Yeah, and I bet they will pay up too. See this is how you run a free society. By posting barriers for your own users because you are greeding and stupid.
OGG is not a sound format. Vorbis is the audio codec and OGG is the bitstream manager!

Fair use states that you can defend the infringing upon a copyright holders rights for the purpose of paradody, education or otherwise informational. Usually this is limited to portions or subsets of the copyrighted work. You can't, for example, copy a movie in its entirety and give that to friends for the purpose of being informational.
A legitimate use would be, for example, copying a portion of a newspaper, say an editorial for a school lecture.
btw "fair use" is not a right. Its a defence for copyright infringement.
The system had no integrity to begin with. That's why he could do it.
Hmm thats not integrity thats authority.
If he could randomly log in correctly the system has weak authentication.
Integrity has todo with the varcity of the data. e.g. if anyone can log in they can change the data which means you can't trust it.
No, jerkoff, it's to stop non-idiots who want to _really_ screw with the system.
That's my point! If people didn't try to attack it you wouldn't need security! That's not to say you don't ever need robust code though...
True, but arguably not significant. With the NFS, both problems have the same asymptotic difficulty. Further, the DLP isn't much harder than the IFP in practice. Solving instances of the N-bit DLP is approximately as hard as solving the IFP with N+30 bits.
While in practice the time-wise estimates are the same the space-wise are not. Over a single large prime group the DLP takes p times more memory to solve [where p is the # of bits in the group modulus]. Also the matrix ops in the final stage are not with bits but with p-bit integers.
This makes the last stage "practically" way more difficult than it is for the IFP.
As for type sof curves, [no joke here], I'm not an ECC expert. I just used what NIST gives out as they are more traditional types of curves.
Naturally one must keep an eye open for thr horizon of new attacks but for the time being ECC appears to be way harder than RSA or DH[over GF(p)].
One little rant-addon. You can do DH over ECC despite what most PGP drones want you to think. This really p's me off. Add ECC support to GPG already!
Or you can be smart and stop using RSA. In the realm of things the DLP over GF(p) is harder to solve then the IFP.
Even harder is the DLP over eliptic curves. With proper curves [e.g. NIST supplied ones] the best attacks on the math take SQRT work which means a 256-bit ECC key will take roughly 2^128 work to solve for the private key [from the public key], provided the cryptosystem is setup correctly [yadada].
And not another peep out of you guys. Just because a network is open doesn't mean you should snoop around. I mean the only practical reason to secure a network is to stop idiots like the subject in the first place. It benefits the network in no way if the attacker just got a life and went elsewhere.
Apparently he only told them *after* the March 8th incident. That means he broke in before, did something [5k in damage!] then when he was caught reported it.
I don't know all the facts of the case but from what I've read 9/10 of all cases of "right violations" and such [etc...] are in fact just idiots who break the law then try to use the force of millions of idiots to bring "justice"
Check out "Hamidi vs Intel" and anything todo with Kevin Mitnick. Two complete losers who are just *criminals* trying to hide behind "good intentions".
Perhaps this guy didn't do anything but chances are he got caught doing something stupid.
well hell ya I disagree with paying off politicians but this "I know whats best for everyone" attitude is not good either.
The problem is those people get elected after all. I mean here in Canada virtually no English speaking person like Jean Chretien but he still keeps winning elections because stupid asses vote for him every four years!
What people should do is make [probably already do] a website of politicians who accept bribes/etc and when election time goes around make sure you don't vote for them.
Sure they may get a nice 100K bonus from some industry but when they lose their jobs they will have to think twice.
That's horrible advice. Unless you are a crew worker in an emergency you should stay off your phone entirely. I mean that is as if you don't want the crew to rescue people!
Just a tid-bit. In PMODE the same style of addressing is normally known as flat addressing. It was useful when you needed to access the lower 1MB since you could use negative offsets from the base of your data segment.
Most modern OS'es won't let you do this but instead map memory instead

not really. Say you have a million users a week. Each connection requires say 512 bytes of traffic...you do the math....
Specially when you are paying per GB.

Why don't they just put tolls on the borders!
hehehe...arrg...whatever...
Many idiots don't make something true.
Look it up yourself in the source code. Vorbis is the actual codec and OGG is the bitstream manager.
That's like calling streamed movies HTTP's or something...
tom
OGG is not an audio codec. vorbis is. So get ir right.
Dude,
its not a "ogg encoder" its a vorbis encoder. Ogg is just the packaging and Vorbis is the actual audio codec.

Tom
yes you can do ECC over GF(2^m) but you can also do it over GF(p).
[cheap plug]
My (free, portable, fairly packed) libtomcrypt lib takes the NIST curves over GF(p) since they are simpler to work with...

Using the other field structure is more important in hardware or say low end microcontrollers.

No there is pointing out flaws and getting caught breaking in and saying you were pointing out flaws.
If you want to make a point make it the legal way like the rest of us.

Also IIRC early copies of windows were not multi-threaded either [kinda like linux afaik].
