Seem you took the word "eliminate" a little too Orwellianly (if that's a word). I just meant the removal of those problems by no specific method. And honestly, you seem hostile, which is odd, becuase I really didn't even have a platform to be hostile towards. And even moreso, you must have misread my post, because the "espionage games" I was referring to are being played by the US government.
Well, who knows the underhanded tactics of a criminal better than a criminal? It's a sad truth that despite the Defcon condition or the "state of peace" we "enjoy", we are always at war. Obviously there are forces that wish this nation destroyed, and there are forces from within this nation that like playing their little espionage games. Until you eliminate that, all sorts of interesting stories will be made, and not heard of until 20-50 years later.
It's not like software creation has to always get you something. This "gimme gimme gimme" shit is kind of deplorable. I have fun coding. I don't give a shit if I make money off of it, or get famous, I like doing it and if it can help someone else with a problem they need solved then that's great. Then I helped someone else, had some fun, and learned some stuff in the process. If I'm on payroll, then yes, I expect to be paid. But on my own time, I'm fully cognizant of the gratis nature of my work. I assume most open source developers are similar in at least one regard.
Unless a person is running Lynx, your sig is probably wasting something around:
8 avg char width * 20 char height * 42 chars * 4 Bpp = 26.880 KB of RAM. Then figure in double buffering and the additional 42 bytes of actual transfer data and you are wasting 53.802 KB. Go you!
Perhaps in a few years there can be a democratic road system that more or less lives off of information provided by cars (anonymously of course). It continuously checks the flow, adjusts lights to match, even offering on-road re-routes ahead of time to avoid large delays. Radio and digital displays are nice, but they aren't quick enough to really help 90% of the rush hour drivers.
Well, being Elite (in the 31337 sense) means you're on top of your cracking/hacking game. That sort of makes sense if you correlate that with the term elite, being someone better than most/all others.
Wow, how fucking stupid do you get? Way to go moderators, you fucking failures... Somehow I imagine some snivelling loser snorting his ass off while masturbating to the flamebait mod he gave me. I can only hope metamod removes his ability to moderate.
But having your biometrics comprimised removes 1/3rd of your security permanently. In the future, who knows how trivial it will be to reproduce your body.
Thanks, for some reason I wasn't thinking clearly enough about it. It's quite obvious they munge the return addresses, I just wasn't thinking clearly about it. Anyhow, selectors define an "executable" flag. Why not use that? Is the stack selector special somehow? Or is it because OS designers don't want to place limitations upon memory execution?
Protection should have been able to stop that. I mustn't have a 100% grasp on how buffer overflows work. Do they overflow the current process's virtual address space? That's the only conceivable way to do that, if I understand protection properly, and I think I do. Not only that, but that means (I think) someone is being lazy with the stack selector, unless the stack cannot be protected (and if not, why not?). If you keep the stack selector small enough so that the only memory the stack can touch (as defined by SS) will always belong to the stack, if overflowed the MMU should poop out a 0xC0000005 (GPF) and stop execution.
Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but this seems like a logical fix.
seems like he's well on the way to becoming a bona fide BOFH:
Loni is a punter...
...Punters tell customers that their problem is not really with their computer, but with their software, their printer, their phone lines, solar flares, whatever they can make sound believable. Then a punter will look at the piece of paper hanging above their phone and read you those four magic words.
It's not hypothetical, clown. People are falsely accused of crimes all the time, even capital ones. And how is it inept? You said you have nothing to worry about. OK, that's fine. But, the fact of the matter is that if you piss off the wrong people, they'll land your ass in prison for the rest of your natural life.
Privacy is a valued right, and should be treated as such. If you live in the US, please do me a favor and don't vote ever again. It's schmucks like you who make sure 1984 will become a reality. Privacy is only "unrational" to a man who believes he has nothing to lose. I guarantee if your privacy was truly invaded, you would be hating your life.
Why aren't you telling us your address like many posters have asked? Afraid someone will come over and install cameras in your bathroom? They probably would now, just to piss you off. See, that's "privacy", you have it, you use it, yet you don't defend it. Perplexing. There are millions of nutjobs in the world. The less that know about me the better.
That's the worst response ever. Good luck having someone care when you are falsely accused of a crime. Also, you do not represent everyone else, so your logic falls apart there. People may have nothing to hide, but demand their privacy. There should be no problem giving them that.
That reminds me of a time I was walking down School Street just coming off of Clark to go to a restaurant. Some black guy was yelling "I'm being arrested because I'm black!" as two cops were cuffing him and another two were standing there. One of the arresting officers said, "Yeah, sure buddy, today is Black Day."

That is true unless you are smelling toxins or very caustic substances. Or you're a smoker...

Hell yeah! Where do I find one of these "uncool" jobs? I spit upon VB. *spit*

See, this was a TI/Cyrix 486DLC, it was missing instructions and everything. In fact, my dad's AMD 386/40 was a far superior machine.
2.0.36 had a problem in a network driver. I fiddled around with it and recompiled the kernel. Took a day and a half. ;)
I may try 2.6, we shall see...
2.0.36 on a 486 DLC w/ 8MB RAM. No coprocessor so it virtually disables me from using the 2.2 or greater kernel on that particular machine.
Bah, swing sucks anyway ;)
Or you can actually look at a good financial site and see who owns Fox News, CNN, etc. instead of playing the ostrich.
Let's hear 'em, I'm sure they're real gems.

Leet is a derivative of Elite (or eleet, or 31337). I suppose if you wanted real English words thats the answer you are looking for.

And hence why girls will always be the best assassins.

I don't think you can go deeper. Isn't the Marianas Trench the deepest point in the ocean?
