"A smarter system would have this kid be a digital janitor for a year or so. Disinfect this computer, now disinfect that one. You know, like an intern, and maybe he could get a job out of it when he's done."
Yea, cause hes just the type of person that I would want working on my computer. I also think that convicted child molesters should be put to work in day care centers. That'll teach em.
"On a more serious note, are all the little nasties that windows aquires from the web going to count towards the three processes ?"
Proccess != Programs. Open up task manager, first tab is Applications (aka Programs) the second tab is Processes. A single application can be running several processes and background tasks such as spy/mail ware dont show up as applications. So rest assured, you'll still be able to run your favorite trojan.
" Maybe some people feel this is justified, however, what would be your opinion if the "bomb" was defective and instead of punishing unauthorized users, punished everyone?"
I think it was a dumb thing for them to have done. However it didn't effect everyone, only those who have no respect for the work and efforts of others. For some reason I just cant get worked up about that.
"Because it's a sign of things to come. Today it only affects someone who stole some software, tomorrow it affects everyone with a particular model of phone, next month one may hit your phone and cause service disruption."
How? How is this unknown bad software of the future going to get on my phone? I've got a dev license to symbian and so far I've not seen any way for software to spread unchecked. Sure it could get pushed via a SMS message, but the user would have to click through it to install.
First, its not a virus since it cant spread on its own. Its a trojan if its anything. Second, since this only effects people who steal software, why should i care?
The bible is also quite clear that eating shell fish will send you to hell, that its a good idea to sell your daughter and that disobedient sons should be stoned to death. If you don't except EVERYTHING in the bible verbatim then it doesn't really mater what it says about gays.
Ads, broadcast rights, cheap crap to sell to jerks aka souvenirs. Also, keep in mind that the boost to the local economy is far more then 500$ per seat. These people need to eat etc.
Well I used to work in the stereoscopic 3D hardware arena and about 75% of the stuff out there is/was for "adult" stuff (cause there's nothing more adult then searching around for the klenex while wearing a 3D headset). Lets just say that 2D porn is tacky enough, the low quality 3D stuff out three will put you off sex for weeks (my GF at the time was allways pissed after I would return from adultdex).
Not that I was expecting anything well rounded or even hande, but come on. The claim that Apple couldn't have licensed the OS because only Apple blessed hardware could run it is total BS. In fact there where several Mac clones, all of which got sued into oblivion by the fruit company. In the case of the Unitron 512 Apple got the state department to put pressre on the Brazilian government to get the project shut down. This was a system that had reverse-engineered the Apple ROMs and rewritten them in C.
Bottom line, had Apple wanted to license the OS, there WAS a market for it.
Boss: I dont know why it takes you so long to write this software, I've seen you working and its just a bunch of typing!
Me: I quit.
If you think that good programming is just repetitive typing I have to assume that you either have never programmed in your life or that your REALY bad at it and are projecting your own problems onto the rest of us.
Its not a real convention hangover unless your first words after getting up are "oh yea, I married that chick last night". Which is not likely given the male/female ratio at Defcon.
What customer list? Believe it or not, CompUSA does not sample your DNA and track everything you buy. This is not like an ISP where they have a list of customers, at best they'll have a list of the 2% that bothered to register.

So your saying that my plain text SMTP mail client on my phone can execute complex scripts like outlook can? Must be an undocumented feature.

Well, it means we're going to have to kill you. You realy should have read the license agreement before selecting the "lifetime" subscription option.

do you work for free? if not why do you think that others should?
Sooo, explain how the artists get compensated when you download a MP3 from a P2P network.
But if we start conserving, the environmentalists win!

You can teach a virgin to be a porn star, but you cant teach a porn star to be a virgin.
And under the Patriot Act, they dont.
