Homeless Wires?

My company has always given stuff like this to local churches. While they may not specifically be able to use it, they may be able to spend the time prepping it for sale. Look at the retail prices for USB and Firewire cabling... They'll either be able to use this stuff or sell it off for a decent profit.
Heh, hell no. I just think that if we're going off the deep end now with all this talk of encrypted keyboards and masking our typing, I might as well join the foil hat brigade. I'm with you - If I thought my box was "0wn3d" I'd wipe it clean in a heartbeat.
Use random backspaces too in conjunction with the random placement using the mouse. Granted, this means entering your password in about 45 seconds as opposed to the 2-3 we're all used to, but it would work. I could type in a string of 80 characters (or however long the password field lets me (although the keylogger wouldn't know the difference - interesting thought) and then click and backspace as much as you need to weed out the eroneous characters. This would give the phisher knowledge of how many characters your password was, but no knowledge (or limited knowledge) of what characters it's comprised of. So if you still have a 7 or 8 character pass (obviously the longer, the better) he still has many, many hours of brute force ahead of him.
Are you really concerned about how well the presumed guilty file-swappers will fit in... in PRISON? I don't ever recall someone getting let out of a jail sentence because "the other prisoners would think they're pussies."
As a proud owner of a mac, I'll tell you right now it's boot time sucks compared to my Windows box... Granted, my mac is a 1.5 GHz G4 Powerbook w/ 512MB of RAM while my XP Pro machine is a 3GHz P4 w/ 1 GB of Dual-channel DDR RAM.
It's really apples and oranges here... I'm sure some of the new G5s (I've never used one) are speedier in the bootup, but when you have completely different architectures, it's hard to compare code efficiency.
It doesn't work like that - just because it has a USB plug doesn't mean that you automatically have access to every piece of memory on the phone. Same goes for Bluetooth. My phone has bluetooth but I can't download th pictures with it, I can't upload ringtones or wallpapers. It doesn't matter what the plug is, they can lock off the device however they want.
What about devices that use different voltages? Not all cell phones require the same power configuration and unless it's a switching adapter (usually larger in size than most), it won't do you much good.
Because they say (highly paraphrased) that they can do whatever they want with whatever is transmitted/received via AIM. They can publish the encrtpted message, crack at it, piss on it or eat it and it is within their TOS. Unless they have a clause that specifically forbids encrypted traffic or they specifically mention a work around, they can't do squat in terms of forcing you to reveal the encryprion key or the unencryped content.
No no no, see... If you have air blowing over a hot object (a heatsink), the heat gets taken away from that object and then it rides those cirrents of air out into the cosmos, never to appear again! But if you radiate the heat away passively through a giant block of aluminum, the room gets really hot. Don't you know anything about thermodynamics?

perv...
My concern was what happens when someone steps off the elevator? Wouldn't the capsule shoot upwards a bit because of the sudden change in weight?

Zone Alarm always asked me if Program XYZ can access the Internet. Wouldn't it do the same for keylogger XYZ?
So... don't use public terminals for sensitive work. Isn't that an important rule in regards to information security in the first place?
Any decent client-side firewall should catch that outgoing traffic, no?

Was there a spelling merit badge?

Am I the only one here that passed basic math? I could have *sworn* that screen was only rotated 90 degrees in the picture...
Microsoft has had good luck with just the 'ME' suffix. They should stick with it :-)

Quick! Someone register www.steve.jobs and see how fast you get sued!
How will the trolls deface a read-only version of it?

Yeah! Look at me for instance. I'm only 23 and I'm still *very* capable... take that how you will I suppose.
The problem is, CherryOS denies that they use and GPL'd code and don't give the original authors (PearPC as I understand it) credit for their work.
But then he'd only have ~$94.05 left...
a lot of hard drives...
You don't have to download it... it's web based. That's the point of web-based e-mail. It stays on the web so you can get it from anywhere...
