What if you managed to encrypt the whole file system? Surely the encryption has a possiblity to be broken finally, but it definitely would give you a better standing.
It is hard to let people know that you are interested in computer security / fine-tuning. I'm not sure since when did people start putting equal sign between computer security studies and hacking(as in intrusion), even what you focus on is system-hardening or forensic.
I remember when I took softeware enginnering, they had a saying that Microsoft assigns programmers of different qualities on different projects, based on the importance of the projects.
Despite those rather extreme situation that a programmer's work can kill, I did see the effects of sloppy coding practices. Even the smallest thing such as making assumptions in the program that may not be true all the time, or not checking for errors, could result in huge money and time losses for the users.
You probably haven't seen more than a couple of wireless network cards. Most of the manufacturers have their built-in tool that automatically search and connect for the best signal available.
In my experience, those IE-only web apps are usually not well-tested comparing to the cross-browser web apps. Most of the IE-only web developers assume people use IE, and assume their computer environment assumptions fit everybody else.
Geeks tend to be pack rat for electronic items, and that usually cause relationship problem with their moms, girlfriend, or wife. I keep old stuff, but my brother went a step further to disect adapters for electronic components and wirings.
Seriously, catenna and wireless packet sniff to me is just similar to your ears hearing the conversation of your loud neighbors. It is the neighbor's responsibility to secure his network, as is securing his confidential conversations. As long as I'm not putting my ears hear his house or install a bug nor crack any encryption, I don't think that should be considered a crime. Surely packet sniffing for others' packets can be immoral, but now the courts are considering that as a crime? Shall we cut our ears so that we don't hear the conversations / arguments of our neighbors? Give me a break.
Most of the time, it is not a real lock-up. Based on my experince, 99% of time Adobe has a dialog box hidden underneath other windows that prompt you to check for update. Once you disable the freaking Adobe update checking feature, all is good.
I read the pdf presentation and all it bashed was hard-to-config problem. For those people who can't handle the Apache conf, there is always plesk, webmin, etc to assist them. For the remaining of us who are capable to mess with the httpd.conf and others, it provides us a light-weight and simple mean to administrate our servers.
And I feel ashame of you, my friend. The terrorists are already winning because they make you abandon your own constitutional rights. Ya know, sort of trimming your own fingers away because someone else can hurt it. How many of us still remember the importance to defend freedom while we are defending ourselves against terrorism?
It's because people expect computers to work like TV or playstation rather than a car. Imagine if you need a certificate just to play Super Mario Bros...
Why not? If khtml is ported to Win32, I can test my web apps against it. Compatible with Gecko, Opera, or mshtml doesn't guarantee compatible with khtml.
One good thing about PalmOS is backwards compatibility. Go out and buy some old Palm device such as a Palm III series or maybe m10x and find some apps for it.
Not always, some shareware games that I got a friend of mine who runs OS 4 do not run on my OS 5-installed Palm, not to mention older versions of OmniRemote.

I am good with that.

Not to forget that some of those "moms" were secretaries who used wordperfect for DOS or such.

given the fact that his porn fits into 640K (ya, I know he did not say that), your idea is just daydreaming.

Well, if your friendly Boris can modify hisscript.sh (that you said is run with sudo), then you get a problem.
Too bad that you would use gotos
Back when I was a kid, I would instead write:
10 WHILE 1
20 PRINT "k-mart sucks dick!"
30 WEND
is that study itself in that 1/3 of all studies?
Last time I read the long code, the other end was not a real person. Instead, she/it was an automated voice system with female voice.
In another news, Microsoft is going to hire Theo de Raadt to understand computer security and code quality better.
So shall Daniel falls to the dark side of the Force.
and a few more...
