There's an additional choice - boot to the first stage, then require a key for the second stage, which unlocks encrypted content. The trick here is detecting a compromised host. One solution to that is have a second network that several servers share. Each server has a trust list (manually entered). If a trusted server goes down and comes back within some period (say 1 minute), it gets the unlock code. If it goes down too frequently, it gets booted from the trust list. If a new mac shows up on the network and isn't added to the trust list, or if connectivity to other trusted hosts is lost (without a reboot), the trust list is abandoned and the key purged from memory.
Basically, allow some limited recovery due to reboots, but dump everything if a compromise is suspected.
Further option: run every encrypted server in a virtual PC and supply it with the key on boot. Since the 'actual' server has a very limited amount of software, the only thing that should take it down is hardware.
Yet Microsoft includes GNU/GPL utilities incorporated within their Services For Unix product that has been both sold and given away over the years. With impunity.
By incorporated, I mean using the source as part of a product, not bundling existing programs and distributing them.
Microsoft is not against open source. They've used BSD-licensed software, and more than WiX has been released under an open source license. What Microsoft has "sworn against" is "Free Software" as RMS would call it, or to the rest of us, software using the GPL or other "viral" license.
To be more specific, they're against software taht can't be incorporated into their software and then resold with impunity.
I am amazed that an ISP wouldn't have some process in place to at least check the validity of a party making that request and check the validity of the copyright as well. It wouldn't take much to put such a process in place.,/p>
We don't want every crackpot in the country involved, but there are several parties (Reform, Libertarian, Green, and others) that outght to be able to have a chance to participate.
I disagree. We do want every crackpot involved. Otherwise, it becomes very esy to exclude new parties.
And also know what kind of underwear they are wearing (clothing retailers seem to love this technology). Seriously, though, what is stopping Victoria's Secret from knowing that you are wearing a competitor's brand? Better yet, with the 'cookie' feature, they can tell how many times you have been to the store and bought/not bought something. Not cool.
I know that Google has a large number of PhDs doing research; where does it acquire them?
They do one of two things: they either ask around and find someone who knows someone, or they hire a headhunter. I doubt they'd actually post a job req for that sort of thing.
How popular is/was Internet Explorer? The largest resaon so much was found in IE was so much attention was given to IE since it is the largest browser by far, and was even larger in the past. Now, as Firefox is growing, it's being targeted. I've started seeing sties that try to send you a mozilla installer package if you are using Firefox, an ActiveX control if oyu are using IE.
No, the largest reason is that, rather than fix their bugs, they rewrote the renderer and encrusted the browser with features.
If you seriously think Firefox is bug free
Nobody said that. They claimed that it contained fewer exploitable bugs than IE.
Who hasn't read some story or seen some report on TV about "phishing" and those evil "hackers" who sniff your internet conx looking for credit card numbers?
It's not nearly as lurid to talk about joe schmoe, who got pissed at his boss and sold 100,000 customer records to some guy in detroit. Security breaches have always been about 80% inside jobs.
the only solution to avoid the above is 3 piston calipers and vented, finned and crossdrilled rotors. Even the most expensive cars do NOT have these performance features. The only car's I have seen them on were as an OPTION on Ferarri and the Corvette ZR1.
4 Piston calipers and slotted rotors are a common upgrade for pretty much any performance car. 6 piston calipers are overkill for most cars, as the above mentioned upgrade will overpower the tires. You can counter the brake fade with race pads, but that won't work very well for normal driving.
considering that in a frontal collision, the steering column hitting the driver is a common cause of death, you have to wonder why this is a requirement...
An electrical failure would have a really good chance of killing you of the steering was electronic. Also, we have these things called collapsing steering columns that mitigate the risk. In conclusion, wear your damn seatbelt.
The only way to be immune, then, is for the white blood cells not to attack the virus, or even be in the area of it. The natural self-destruct system in the cells will eventually trigger. Provided the self-destruct triggers faster than the virus can spread, the body would be guaranteed to win.
Or, you could have white blood cells that HIV has difficulty attaching to. No attack vector means that HIV never gets a chance to do its work.
DAT has the same kind of no-copy flag, and I think there were devices produced that would strip this flag from the digital stream.
It was congress that passed that law, with an exception for 'professional grade' equipment, which started showing up shortly after. The no-copy flag is believed to be largely responsible for the minimal penetration of audio DAT in the US.
I'm growing skeptical of these "independant agencies". They are not elected, they are not part of the "checks and balances" system, there is no meantion of them in the Constitution, yet they appear to be having greater power than any real part of our government.
From the FCC's statement, I'd say that they function as extensions of congress. They claim independence, but they are still accountable to congress.

What's amazing is that the russian was allowed to have a car in the first place...
Come on, he's KGB. Surely they get some perks.

You really have no clue, do you?

Can they afford to lose a client so easily?
Let's see - $30/mo or a liability in the six figures. That's a tough call.

Why? It isn't as if they lave any liability.
No. If Bin Laden was candidate, I wouldn't like him in the debates either.
If you're going to troll, at lest pick a citizen like, say, David Duke.
It would be somewhat ironic to run for president and not be able to vote for yourelf.
When was the last time a third party team won?
Wasn't Lincoln a third party?

Well, He is a candidate. Don't you think he should be in the debates?

Well, that's easy to fix - don't wear underwear.

What's being done is stealing.
So, when I burn a CD of mine and put it on my iPod, that's theft? What a strange world you must live in.
I hear the pipeline on the P5 is going to be so long that Halliburton want to license it for reconstruction work in Iraq.
Well, you must have heard wrong. The Pentium only has 5 stages. Or did you mean whatever comes after the P4?

Nope! CN++.
Wrong again - it'll be called CNN!
