Well, 200k and 300k aren't really cities at all - just a large town - more than 1 million, then you are beginning to get a city.
Comparisons with Europe doesn't work. Their populations are either static or declining, so they don't have to invest heavily in new infrastructure, only maintenance.
D00d, you d0n't get, 0r d0n't w@nt to get wh@t I'm s@ying: ALL encryption is security through obscurity.
Whitfield Diffie once said that encryption is 90% muddle and 10% mathematics. I actually understand what he means.
So, if you want to denegrate the security of a bad system, then you should use a different term, not 'security through obscurity', since that is all we got.
It would be much more efficient to encode data into the empty blocks of allignment space inside an exe. The new file is different from the original, no matter where you put the data. The only thing that will be the same is the file size, so you can just as well use a simple method...
The USA is pricing itself out of the market. The USD has to devalue by about 50% for the country to be competitive again. I'm not complaining though - the overvalued USD is GOOD for the REST of the world and there are many more people in the rest of the world...
A couple years ago, I once found a piece of malware on download.com, complained about it and they reacted immediately. The author of the program later commented that it was a really bad bug and fixed it. Whatever happened to them?

Nothing wrong if they package it nicely, give a printed book and phone/email support.
That pales into insignificance compared to the amount the USA is spending in Iraq and that doesn't even protect anybody...
The only way that America can win the war in the middle east, is by invading, killing half the priests and converting the rest to Scientology, Mormonism, Southern Baptist - every freakin wacko US religion and scare the bejeezus out of them by preaching fire and brimstone non stop...
The Patriot Act is but a thinly veiled 'State of Emergency' - you are not living in a police state, because you are living under something worse already.
My phone and everyone I know has been armed with an answering machine for at least 10 years and we never answer it - we only leave messages - no two way conversations.
Exactly - you can still do that. A denial of service attack is still a crime.
However, it is easier and cheaper to run your own postfix server and drop the spam using RBLs etc. If you can't do that, then you probably won't be reading Sloshdat, but for those that can't due some techincal reason, you can subscribe to a mail filter service for about $2 to $5 per month.
Ja boet, that sig is like a secret handshake, though I've been living on the other side of the globe for a long time. Nowadays, I think 22C is stiflingly hot - and in winter, we have a braai outside when it is above -40 - s'true!

Wrong - SSL always had special NSA keys...
one hundred million Chinese Dollars - that's why they can live with it...

a. Diesel exhaust causes asthma attacks.
b. Diesel engines are hard to start in winter.
Apart from that, diesel is great and delivers better mileage than hybrid cars.

This 'security through obscurity' refrain is getting almost as tired as the beuwolf cluster thing. ALL encryption is security through obscurity...
KISS

That is why it is a good idea to assign your copyright to the FSF or Sun. They will follow up, threaten and prosecute it necessary.
I am so underwhelmed...

I had a car with a flashing LED mounted on the dashboard. Two similar models were stolen in our street, but not mine.
Gawd - you know, you have a car - while it still has wheels - please move to better neighborhood...
Uhhh, after slamming it like that - you probably have to buy a new notebook, so what is the point?

Well, now, you should have patented it...
No this is Sloshdat - I suggest Darl...
Buy your mom a diesel VW Golf. Better value for money and much better mileage than the expensive hybrids.
Well, now, a mb is a millibit of course. That must be due to a slight rounding error in the bit count...
