I'd like to read a comment here that contained some accurate information... sugars ARE carbs! "low levels of amino acids that the body needs..." Which ones? What do they do? I am really tired of listening to people who don't know anything about what they are speaking of! Read a book, the net, or take a class
The simplest example of "software" security obscurity (or something like that), would be to keep your "secure" things secret. Like what sort of encryption you use, which modules control which aspects, etc... Actually, MS outta help obscure their security by obfuscating: ie, release source with phony security lapses! That'd be a riot.
Yes, its true that the security through obscurity claims of MS seem like blowing smoke, but obscurity is an accepted security paradigm. Any CS course in security outta mention it, and you can read about it in "Security in Computing" by Pfleeger. Its always been my stance, however, that MS is taking the obscurity stance to propagate their business model and NOT to better security.
Fight fire with fire, right? Microsoft slung the mud first! What do you think happened when all the VCs of the world read M$'s statement? They reconsidered funding some young upstarts!! You think some "shouting and screaming" is inappropriate? No way!
Since when should art, music, and knowledge be relegated only to those you can afford it?
And M$... If your model is sooooo outstanding, why does your product suck?

Computers are supposed to reduce complexity and look at how complicated they are!
Now if I could just manage the same with telemarketers, the universe would be in balance.
Ooopsss..... Here is a well written, detailed post! Sorry, my bad

Very timely... Read about this in Scientific American over a year ago! Takes awhile for scientific knowledge to disseminate I guess.....
