Well, it's strategy. You can't knock it if it's working.
I think the real thing here is, is that IIS4 and 5 were junk. I luckily haven't had to work with it since then, but I can well believe that, by adopting standard good practice, Microsoft have reached the stage of stability and security that Apache was many years ago. Now the argument isn't about security/stability. It's to do with cost, and what you prefer working with.
And because Java bytecode is compiled to native machine code at runtime, it's pretty snappy too. The tradeoff is the slight delay each time you run something. For a service that runs constantly, and hardly ever restarts, it's not a bad tradeoff.
why don't people have balls(women excluded)? Theirs are just inside, hidden away from view, and feet.
Doesn't anybody stand up for what they believe in anymore? Sure, I'm sure it's great being homeless with a clean conscience.
However, Miguel does seem like a major sell out. I'm glad I don't use Gnome or Novell.
1) Significantly reducing the Earth's population, perhaps by a factor of ten. (This includes killing off others and taking their resources) Bird Flu will eventually mutate and become human-transmissible, and easy to catch. And with a 56% mortality rate.....
You've thrown the word encrypted around a lot. I think signing is more important. But how do you ensure voter anonymity, but yet retain a way of checking that the machine hasn't just created 1000000 keypairs, and 1000000 votes, and signed them? Sure, let me generate my own keypair on my Linux, and sign my vote with them (perhaps encrypting with the Voting Authority public key), but that doesn't stop fake votes being introduced into the system, unless I somehow register my public key with the system, thereby losing my voter anonymity.
It's just not like securing a standard box.
Apollo 13. Catastrophic explosion disabled the service module. The astronauts returned home safely using the LEM as a lifeboat and some creative navigation.
Skylab launch: Ripped off a solar panel and part of the outer skin. Astronauts were able to rig a replacement screen to cool inside of the lab and open the other solar panel that was stuck partly open. Three expeditions extended the time in space records and recorded what was then the most detail solar observations ever. Wow, that sounds exciting! Someone should make a film about that!:)
After playing Colin McRae rally (with steering wheel and pedals) for a few days, I then got behind the wheel of my real-life Subaru. And went for a nice drive along the north Devon coast. I suddenly realised that I was driving really fast for the roads, and suspect that it was due to playing the game earlier. I don't know though. And I didn't cause any accidents, and I'm still alive today.
Assuming that brute force is the way to go. Which I think you've explained quite well that it isn't.
Maybe the key in AES256 is divulged a bit at time, in the 95101924th bit, the 814255525181th bit, etc.
I wrote a little version of something like this. Java + Fuse = mountable filesystem that is accessed via a process. Copying files to it encrypted, uploaded it, and made a note of it in a SQL table. Listing was SELECT filename FROM files;, and you could copy the files back from it. Worked fine.
Yeah, I really liked it too. Quite surreal, funny, and the VHS copy I bought was purchased in Kazakhstan, so it has Russian subtitles, just to add to the weirdness. And when you tell people it has Bruce Willis in it, they're surprised.
Andi McDowell imitates a dolphin in it too.
Ubuntu asks me for my password before installing software or even updates, or doing a lot of other tasks like editing system files. How is this any different? I've never seen Vista, and hence never used it. However, sudo can be configured to keep authentication credentials for a short period of time - I think 5 mins is the default. Once you use sudo on Linux, it "touch"es a file (somewhere in/var/....), and in future, if the next sudo request comes in before the file is 5 mins old, it doesn't trouble you for your password again.
I'm assuming that Vista doesn't do that, and asks every. Single. Time.
In the UK, Amazon used Royal Mail. If you were out when they tried to deliver, you could pick it up from your local post office. Mine's 1/2 mile away.
Then, to save money, they switched to some other service - the Home Delivery Network. Their nearest depot is a 50 mile round trip. Before, I ordered lots of stuff from Amazon. Now, not so much, purely because of this added hassle.
If you do it in-band (as Psi tries to do) No it doesn't. It asks you which GPG key you want to use for contact X. Obviously, it goes without saying that you verify the public key OOB.
Jabber + PSI + SSL + GPG = Safe in transit, at least. However, there's no way you can be sure someone isn't logging everything at their end. It's the whole DRM problem, but just with messages, instead of videos/music.
The combination was actually 00000000, but that isn't really much safer. It's just as likely to come from a random number generator, as, say, 81105912 or 14777321.

Aaah, interesting. I didn't know that about Dalvik.

Hmm. Learn obscure switches to commands. Or just learn something which you can use with any command? I know what I prefer....
Create a US (or any other) Law CVS server. Ask politicians to create diffs against old laws, and submit them to Linus.
Is your father's name Richard? What the hell is he doing running Vista?!

No. [citation needed]
