I think the real question is:
Do you give a shit that the earth/IS/ becoming warmer?
If so, take any and all actions to stop it. Don't wait for catastrophic disasters. Until then, run with the science we HAVE. Ignore who may be financially impacted by a change to not make our lives MISERABLE AS A SPECIES, at best.
Then again, most of the asshats here don't give a shit. I hope most of you die in the heat.
"It spreads without the knowledge of the computer owner"... uhm, no it doesn't.
It does not install itself on any other machine. And "without the knowledge of the computer owner" does not define a virus. A virus attaches itself to executables, or spreads to machines by other means without user intervention. Typing in your admin password at installation is user intervention.
A Trojan is something you download thinking it's one thing, and it contains something else. (Look up the "Trojan Horse" sometime, it's where the name comes from.) If the user installs this on 50 machines, it's still not a virus. Perhaps that user is...
No... they are less exploitable remotely. That doesn't mean you can't write bad software that will hurt them and convince idiots to download and install it by tossing it on the interwebs.
The difference here, as compared to that Cornflicker (or whatever the crap it is), is that people had to actually DO something other then BE IN THE NET to get this installed on their systems. (they downloaded illegal copies of software, executed them, and likely type in their admin password).
No system in the world can secure you from your own stupidity.
Ok, well not at first...
Bring it up to management. If they force you to install pirated software, report them to the authorities.
There's federal laws against retaliation for whistle blowing. Once they force you to perform illegal actions, it's your duty as a citizen to report them.
Assuming they do force you to install pirated software... once reported, you'll never really need to "work" any more as any "firing" could result in a retaliation lawsuit by you. Enjoy your full-time WOW job.
(Note, this is mostly sarcasm...)
I dunno. Have you seen the people that run support lines? TINY!
IMHO, complete replacement of the protocol is the only thing that will make a change happen. Until there is a wholesale replacement, no one is going to use cryptography.
I mean, who does and actually gets work done? I'd liek to see a testimonial of someone who has more than 30 contacts from more than 4 entities that reguarly contact them outside of their own entity. This technology has been around for a/very/ long time.
Absolutely. As I said, if it's a TXT entry, ala SPF, for a given domain, you can shut it down at the domain/sub-domain level. RBL's become lists of domain names you should ignore. If the protocol is something like:
domain xxy.com for you@place.com id 3133768
place.com looks up the TXT record for xxy.com place.com requests message from the server specified in xxy.com (e.g. http://smesgs.xxy.com/?to=you@place.com&id=3133768) place.com validates message as an actual email, handles errors, queueing place.com delivers message locally.
You could also have multiple IDs, etc. Could be POST, could be a custom protocol.
disallow IP based deliveries. Make it domain only.
$10/year * changing it ever day $50/month * changing ISPs every day for violating abuse pocicies $200 for a cheap linux box will not be enough power to handle your load.
Tanke your $200 linux box and toss 3000 requests/second at it on your $50/mo internet connection. As a test... see how well it works for ya'
Sage Francis (former beat poet turned hip-hop), Digable Planets (even the MTV listeners should know them. Saw them in SJ 2 years ago with a live jazz band), P.O.S. (Used to be a punk artist, has been rapping as long as he has been playing bass), Atmosphere (though their newer stuff isn't as good as the older stuff)... there's so much good stuff out there. You just need to know how to find it, and as long as people only look deep enough to see what the popular music is, they will never see the great things this artform has to offer.
The poetry is amazing, if you know where to find it. Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it not an artform.
Not if you add a domain lookup into the process. So I get a message from 'xyz.com'. Much like SPF, I look up a specific TXT record on xyz.com for where I pull my message from. Deny URLS that are IPs on the server level. Make the MTA handle delivery inside your network or to normal mailboxes, and the fetching doesn't need to happen on the client.
Vola, you now have have (1) the cost of spammers registering a domain. (2) the cost of setting up servers. (3) the inability for people to send email from arbitraty IPs. (4) RBL lists are now merely a list of domains to reject, instead of a whole slew of IPs and domains. Once a domain is on an RBL list, they can no longer just change IPs and go at it, they need to pony up for a new domain. Botnets, as they are now, would be nearly impossible to get working.
Yeah, except he was not in office while we had nuclear weapons. You know, little details about the ability of the country to destroy the world maybe should be taken into consideration when considering who should be running them.
I am not as concerned about who is running my local supermarket as I am concerned about who my next president is, to illistrate in extremes.
Now I am going to commit suicide. Thanks for enlightening me.
I am sure you don't waste $15/mo on anything frivilous.
You/rent/ going to a movie. You/rent/ gas. You know, you just/rent/ food. You/rent/ the room in your moms house. Moron. BWAHAHAHAHAHAhaHAhaaaaahaaaaaHAHA!
...Evolutionists may be able to back up their beliefs with science...
How can anybody's belief to be backed up by science? A belief is a belief, no matter who holds it. Everybody has a worldview and will interpret whatever information or evidence comes their way according to that world view.
I believe that Science can back up a belief. ZOMG! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME WRONG OR RIGHT!
Someone who truly believes in God, the God of the Bible, will also believe that the universe and all life within it is created by him. Anybody who is an atheist will believe that the universe is a result of random chance. Those are the only options there are.
Really? Tha't strange, because in my view, we don't know. So I beleive that it's beyond human comprehension. Either side could be correct.
Everything we observe about the universe, all life including ourselves in it, can be and is being interpreted by this fundamental difference in world views. Observations clearly show that the universe did have a definite beginning, which scientists have labeled the Big Bang. We also observe and experience every day that every effect has a cause. We may not always know the cause of a given effect, but we have never observed an effect that did not have a cause. What or who caused the Big Bang? It either just happened without a cause, or something, or better, some One who has no cause, but just is, brought it into being. This eternally existing being, communicates to us through the skill of writing, which only we humans possess.
If you complete strip out the fact that the most important aspect of us, as observers of our universe, have limited capacity to see and understand things, sure. Otherwise, you're a moron.
Or, you know, the third possibility that something we have yet to understand created the BigBang. You know, it used to be that THE ALMIGHTEE GH0D created the flat Earth. As our knowledge expands, now it's the universe (after those assholes killed a bunch of scientists trying to prove the earth is in fact round, and revolves around the sun, and is not the center of the universe)...
How can the random probabilities of a gigantic, cosmic explosion create order in a finite amount of time? What caused the Big Bang and what caused the universe to develop in an orderly manner? Where did the laws it operates by, the laws of physics come from? From all observations we can make, these laws seem to operate quite uniformly throughout the entire universe we can observe. Can random probabilities account for the existence of a computer chip or 747 airliner? If not, then why do so many if not most so-called scientists, attribute a single living cell, which is far more complicated than all computer chips ever made and all airliners ever built, to random probabilities?
I don't know, so you must be right! I know that random probabilities can prove a 747. That one I know for sure. I will send you/dev/random in email until you see it. At least it'll keep you from posting this shit. Oh, and it'll take as much time as the Big Bang took to make 747's. Assuming you're riding the right quantum bus. If you get lost, just take the anti-quantum-bus back and catch the next one.
Actually, a living cell isn't necessarily more complicated, it's just not as well understood.. One of the beautiful things about life is it's simple elegance. Complexity does not make something wonderful.
If you are satisfied with stopping at the BigBang, then backing it up with a random fictional figure, that's cool. Be like those on a flat earth, with the sun flying around it... and start killing people who eat fish on the wrong day or whatever other whack shit is in the bible.
Or you can take it as a book of stoies about the human condition, and stop trying to make other people wrong for not following every word that can be PROVEN wrong.

Have you tried creating Java classes in Eclipse? It's very handy. You'd only need to make 1 every like 10 minutes.

As one would say of Linux:
"ZOMG, my grandmother can never use that crap! So confusing and ARCANE! Windows will never fly as a mainstream OS!"
And it's true, not as a secure mainstream OS, it never will. So instead, nanna is gonna run as administrator.
Actually, linux is a lot easier if your grammy's name is "Ruby Oot"... so you don't need to explain the login name she uses.
What?

Do you also like all $30,000 cars more than $280,000 cars? Do they do the same things you want? Then buy the $30,000 car and leave us alone.

Why don't we have more posts about ncftp?! Like, more people use it than Vanguard!
I assume the religious right will have no problem. Go ahead and clone some unicorns, too! And dinosaurs! good luck!
Everyone generalizes using a single example. At least, I do.
Oh, and I am never putting MySQL on any of my servers until they fix bug #16565! The bastards!
zomg!
Bet oracle has, like 3. Postgres, too!
zwtf! Obviously no company could ever run on MySQL in this state. I am sure it constantly crashes.
