you only told black-hats what they already know.
This is only true if you your assumption that the black-hats know about all of your bugs. Which is probably not the case. You are only assuming that they know all of the bugs as part of a threat model.
If a government said "The government of Evilland will try to get spies to find out our secrets. Let us assume that they have found out all of our secrets. The logical conclusion to this is that we should make all of our secrets available to all governments." you would think they were idiots.
Actually, that statements is stupid because you just push forward a fallacy. You should NOT make all your secrets available to all governments, but at the very least you should as a government take action based on the fact that the enemy knows everything about you.
It is the same for security and disclosure. You should assume that the blackhats know about the bugs (and in reality they do, not all blackhats but most probably at least one), then you can take decisions based on the maximum risk, not just a probability.
You don't secure safes by assuming dynamite is hard to find. Likewise, you secure your software taking into account that the worst will happen, and then you judge cost versus damage and security level.
That's a certificate, not just a statement. This means that, following the UNIX 03 Product Standard standards, your program will work on every OSes that supports it. Directories, POSIX, kernel calls, most things should be compliant between the OSes listed in The Open Group. This is a significant advancement for servers (more certificate for an OS is always good in that way), although not really meaningful for desktops.
as long as USERS don't understand it, yes it is useless. Secure the communication and provide X509 certs all you want, if the user think it's a bank, he will enter his password.
Sure, but most desktops don't run more than one or two apps at a time. So, 2-4 cores is all that you get "for free" without new apps. Sure, if I'm building a web server application, it'll scale much more gracefully, but it already scales rather gracefully. You don't seem to count services/daemon/background apps. Although they are not application, they can become a large problem since there can be up to thousands of them (threads at least) running, while only one "application" is up in the foreground. And this seems to get worse every year... without a really good scheduler, the number of thread is becoming more and more a bottleneck.
Then the game should adaptively judge your intelligence and make things more obvious for stupid people. At the end it should display a friendly message, like this:
Congratulation! You have WON!
(Your estimated IQ is 50) Don't you ever, EVER EVER EVER, mock my IQ again. You insensitive clod!
http://vgchartz.com/ and more precisely. 'nouf said. Take your facts from the fact list, please. PS3 has only outsold Xbox360 once on momentum (europe). This is world-wide, though if you look at american sales (because your stats weren't from amazon.co.jp or uk)... well I'll let you judge.
Dark Helmet: "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate." (Spaceballs 1987). OMG I didn't know there was so many spaceballs.... I just saw the first one.
A link to a forum that quotes a magazine quoting a guy... something doesn't seem right here.
There's a lot of quotation involved here.
There is indeed a lot of quotation going on. There is indeed a fuck of lot of quotation going on. I'm sick of all this fucking quotation, aren't you? GOD BLESS SALVATION ARMY! Okay! now that's a troll....
There is still not even a proof that P != NP, even though it seems obvious. I think what has been proven is that most problem classes of interest are non-decidable and intractible. But so what? You can still get along quite well in the world without a provably optimal solution most choices. Yes, we don't need all those negatives. How many apple do you have? -5? How many apple would you see?
It's not because the world doesn't need a concept right now or that it is not really practical that it is not interesting or cannot bring advancement for the society. How do you think we advanced in technology (radios were made possible with Fourier calculus), physics (everything...), architecture (phi) or even gardening (geometry) without maths? How can anyone think that maths should be left out of any field?
Although we should not leave math to non-mathematicians, saying that mathematics is not needed for any field is a proof by absurd that you don't understand the real meaning of mathematics. "So what" is just the QED.
Hey I enjoy putting definitions as response and arguments too:
From Merriam-Webster:
humor noun 3 a: that quality which appeals to a sense of the ludicrous or absurdly incongruous b: the mental faculty of discovering, expressing, or appreciating the ludicrous or absurdly incongruous c: something that is or is designed to be comical or amusing
pun noun : the usually humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another word similar in sound
It's not like I make a point, I'm just pointing to a point...
The hardware was ALWAYS meant to let the control goes to the operating system. If Windows wanna swipe your ass with your BIOS, no hardware will prevent it. The mechanism your describe are about preventing any process on your machine from messing with the computer without specific authorization. The OS is still the first program run, and it still have supreme power.

Meh. It will get deleted anyway. You should have put DMCA in your sig.
Anybody have experience setting this up to protect machines against bacterial infections?
Only viruses. Use alcohol-based SOAP in that case. It tastes better.you only told black-hats what they already know.

English is not too difficult to understand if you look at the clues.
You're talking about the game, right?----
Mods, that joke is on topic, look up the parent original post.

Mod parent! Whatever you feel like, but mod it!

You're obviously NOT subscribed to full-disclosure...
Yeah I had a joke that had the same train of thoughts... Don't remember the details, but I think it was called The Aristocrats.
Liberty is just as strong as those who believe in it. And, somehow, americans as a whole don't seem to anymore.

I think he threw the battery after posting, thus making his comment pre-relevant...
Can you make energy off these? If you create and aliment a flame-war, for example?

It's not like windows couldn't mess with your machine anyway. If you don't trust your operating system, how can you trust your whole system.
Yes, but is it in COLOR ?!?
