I live a few blocks away from Atta's former apartment; chances are probably pretty good that I met him at some point. I frequently visit the website of Eric S. Raymond, a well-known anarchist. My bookshelf is stocked with titles like "Hacking Linux Exposed", "US Army Survival Manual", and Machiavelli's "The Prince" (dog-eared and highlighted). I know the formula for napalm.
Am I a terrorist? You might be able to find out by snooping my email, but unfortunately a lot of it is encrypted.
I haven't finished reading the essay yet, but I just hit on one passage that I find extremely insightful. The author talks about how it's largely the B's and C's that persecute the D's and E's, and not the A's.
I'm not only a nerd, but a High Functioning Autistic, which makes me an E. I get endless shit from the B's and C's. I learned several years ago to stop giving a damn and just ignore them, but that doesn't stop them. However, I've found that the football players (A's) of at least average intelligence are quite civil to me. I agree with the author's explanation; they're not afraid to be seen with me because nobody in their right mind would mistake them for one of my group.
Yes, but the ability to break something in exponential time is taken for granted. If you clustered together every computer in the world, the sun would go supernova before you broke a 2048-bit RSA key by brute force.
There's a theorem that remains to be proven or disproven called the P?=NP theorem. It expands to "the set of problems solvable in polynomial time ?= the set of problems solvable in non-deterministic polynomial time". Nobody has any clue how to go about a proof. It's one of the Clay institute's million dollar math problems and I'm betting it'll be the last of them to fall.
Basically, if this theorem were proven, than asymmetric cryptography would be impossible and much of today's symmetric encryption would also collapse. So, if you're going to claim unbreakable encryption, you'd better hand me a proof that P!=NP.
Having to pay a royalty to put up a simple website would get enough people ticked off to trigger a discussion about patent reform, and that would be a Good Thing(TM).
And Michelin is going to put RFID receivers on every road in America and go completely unnoticed? If your answer is "no, but the government will", then this should be the least of your concerns; they have better ways of going about it than that.
You're either a troll or an idiot; I'm not certain which. MD5 is a secure hashing algorithm; given a block of data, there's no known way to find a another block of data which generates the same checksum except by random guessing.
RFID tags are passive devices; they're powered by an inductive coil in an electromagnetic field. That means that their maximum range is about two meters, so there's no easy way that they could be used to track someone.
Has anyone else noticed that if you have a +1 karma bonus, that the comment score in the history section of the user page shows the comment's score as one point lower than in the discussion? I'd like to get some confirmation that I'm not the only one experiencing this before abusing CmdrTaco, and hopefully before getting moderated into oblivion for offtopic posting. Oh well, I can spare the karma.

The caveman was polyless, genoless, and killed all eight demons princes, and the monk was weaponless and polyless. And somehow I managed this with good old ASCII graphics.
My results match yours, using Win98SE. However, it's been updated to use the latest version of IE. The blogger stated that these results are from a few years ago, so I'd do some more research before denouncing it as a hoax.
Filtering of spoofed packets would be quite simple - just send the source address a bogus page contained and image tag and see if they proceed to request that image. If so, they're the real sender of the initial unsynced packet.
And btw, _my_ rule of thumb is being conservative in what produce and conservative in what I accept - just send me an email containing some spam phrases and you'll see what I mean.
This almost makes me want to break some other rules and hack my TCP stack to send back some other amusing responses to unsynchronized packets - perhaps a ping of death or an invalid OOB packet (WinNuke)?
> 4. And in any case, buying the X-Box already helps Microsoft. The more units sold, the more games developed.
Nope. Remember the big story last month? Micros~1 is losing their ass on everything except Windows and Office. Obviously, Micros~1 makes money on each game license sold because all the cost is up-front with development. However, they're not going to be making money on the hardware any time in the near future. Therefore, people buying the X-box then not buying any games is pretty devestating.

DPS is in X 4.3.0, kernel 2.5 contains NFSv4 and AFS, kernel 2.6 will contain ReiserFS v4, and I've been using devfs for years without a hitch.
I tried to follow that link but my school's content filter said it was a terrorist web site. Guess I'll just have to use the google cache...
If you think you've got problems...

Dunno about you, but all I use it for is sshing into my home machine when I'm stuck on a 'doze box.
Alright, I'm duly impressed. What's the secret?
We have it. It's called usenet. And it's awesome.

You can dodge the lameness filter by specifying the layout as "Code"

Two ADM trojans, and now this...
It's also in the kernel source tree: $PATHOFSOURCETREE/drivers/pci/pci.ids
:-)
Therefore, I don't think there's any danger of it being lost
> One large charity is easy for the government to ignore. Millions of complaining citizens are not.
Wrong. You can ignore complaining citizens all you want, as long as they don't become a majority. On the other hand, money talks.
Do you mean to tell me that someone is actually trying out a piece of technology that they want to legislate? Heresy!
I'm being sarcastic, of course, but if Michael Powell starts opposing the DMCA, that might ALMOST get him off my shitlist.

1. Please proofread your posts from now on.
2. I know, and they patched Ping of Death a long time ago too.
