Ok sorry, reading on, he writes, "The only practical approach to the issue of nuclear weapons proliferation is to put it higher on the international agenda and to use diplomacy and, where necessary, force to prevent countries or terrorists from using nuclear materials for destructive ends." Force to prevent countries from what?
People don't seem to quite grasp that the only country in the world to have used nuclear weapons and still possesses lots of nuclear weaponsm, is not even able to run a decent democracy, with Bush, the Torturer in Chief at the head.
He writes, "And although I don't want to underestimate the very real dangers of nuclear technology in the hands of rogue states". I think it naive to use the term "rogue states" this way. Rogue in respect to what? They don't like to torture their people or other nations? They don't like to bomb civilians?
Then he continues, "Nuclear fuel can be diverted to make nuclear weapons. This is the most serious issue associated with nuclear energy and the most difficult to address, as the example of Iran shows." I can't follow. Why talk about Iran, and not Pakistan, India, Israel, the US? I think he hasn't seen enough of the world.
My plan was to describe what goes on from clicking on the location field, typing www.wikipedia.org, hitting return, to displaying the contents, step by step. Or for sending an email from a webmail account. That should be lots of stuff.
I thought people might like that, and be able to relate to it since they are familiar with the results.
You could put that in a separate chapter to offer a view not taken in the rest of your book.
What we're looking at is of course the implementation of cheapo economics theory, I think called neoclassical economics, implemented by the mafia style rip-off industry called telecommunications. In other words, cheapo MBA's following a cheapo theory and the will and need to live of other people's efforts. They are in control of a resource, and have no other way to earn or increase their income except through this kind of extortion. Other ways are not accessible to them since their minds are small, but their pockets are big.
The proper way to deal with this is regulation which is up to the people in the end. They have positioned themselves to not charge "the people" directly, and so defense is difficult.
But not if this only works if the length is lied about.
From the pod-cast:
As I said before, each record in a metafile begins with a four-byte length, followed by a two-byte function number. So in other words, each metafile record has six bytes minimum that it can possibly be in size. Oh, and since the size is in words, the smallest possible size for a metafile record would be three words long, or six bytes. Look, the reason I had problems making this exploit happen initially is I was setting the length correctly. It turns out that the only way to get Windows to misbehave in this bizarre fashion is to set the length to one, which is an impossible value. I tried setting it to zero. It didn't trigger the exploit. I tried setting it to two, no effect. Three, no effect. Nothing, not even the correct length. Only one.

Excellent suggestion. But give two years notice, and extend your period of 2 years to 3 years. In the next 5 years, a better process could be worked out. In the meantime accept patent applications, as before, but don't grant any except under the new scheme. Add another 2 years for that transition, and in 7 years we're done: 2013.

In fact, the author doesn't engage in a formal argument to convince the reader (or himself) that the communication will be private. A formal argument would make explicit the assumptions about what an attacker could or could not do, including your suggestion.
A paper with "Complete" in its title like this one should have a "complete" analysis of its claims. I think it is fair to say that just skimming the paper will reveal that no such complete analysis is provided.
Admitted that "complete" might be difficult to attain in this context. But at least make the assumptions explicit. That's just a basic way to back up your claims.
I don't think latex is hard. There's lots of hints to be found on the web if you get stuck too. Also, I find it more trustworthy, since ASCII files are so much more difficult to keep track of. And, can you use "sed" with.doc documents? And so many other command line tools are there to help.
I can't print. The Sysadmin says "Reboot Windows". What's the cost of that? Did Dr. Herbert Thompson measure that cost? Two weeks ago, my Windows Word was very slow popping up Formatting dialogs. The Sysadmin told me "Reboot Windows". Rebooting helped, but its quite a pain, and costs time. How much? How much on average? I don't know. Enough for me not to try it out right away.
I don't yet know whether rebooting will help with the printing problem though.

How much energy goes into producing a car and into the necessary repairs, versus how much energy is used in operating a car (on average) ?? I have no clue. Please tell me.
I've been told a solar cell for example needs to operate a few years before it has generated the energy used to produce it in the first place.

because it is "connected" to the Internet ?
The proper fix is to change the root password.
What would be a better amount: 750$, 1500$.
I call this "cornering the individual". 7.50 is hardly worth anyone's time.
I think quite simply I don't find it comfortable enough. Sitting in front of the computer with just moving the mouse once in a while is not pleasant.
Or was that Novell?

I would be happy for the extra exposure if Google put my writing on their news page.
If they complained about Google _not_ including their story but the next door newspaper's, then there might be a basis for an argument.
Plus don't they get to show their ads when Google visitor comes to their website?

Drugs are just very lucrative. The question is : why not ten years ago, why not twenty ? That's a deep puzzle to me.
