Actually it works the other way round.. the more primes are known, the less secure your encryption becomes. Brute forcing nowadays is more like a dictionary attack with combinations of primes.

Data retention is no solution and as we all know, a terrorist is not on/. so little gain they shall have, our rantings and ravings to keep.

Make a diffrence and stop watching holywood garbage and quite listening to wacko jacko. The alternative movie and music circuit is far more creative and rewarding.
A couple of frontiers one might consider worthy of pushing:
1. Poverty 2. Energy, reliance on oil 3. Disease, anti-virals against HIV, H5N1 4. Economy, lower inflation, better trade balance 5. War on Terror (tm), ending it
and maybe then it would be appropriate to think about putting the wealthy in a casket and launch them into orbit.
If you work in a "hostile" environment then this happens. In my experience, which is limited, simply discussing the matters prior to putting things in writing helps smooth the blow. I have always had a good relationship with the people I work with and they have subsequently been supportive of my moves. Open communication is better than shooting mails and memos around. Sure I have had times when simply writing "screw you I'm going home" would have been satisfying but taking a deep breath and talking it over worked much more to both our advantages.
Don't burn bridges, it is normal for potential employers to check you references and then get the guy you just gave the bird on the phone... Emotional stability is very important so you should demonstrate it. Except on/. of course, here you can have a wonderful cathartic ranting session afterwards...

I contend it is still an issue of demand. In almost all the workplaces I have seen the requirements are all "certified gorilla" types, I have yet to see a major linux requirement. One site I know of, a major medical center, uses linux for their Oracle database servers(x3) and there is one part time chap who keeps that afloat. The rest of their infra is MS, they have a full team of full time staff, certified and all, and the service is still crummy..
Wiki rocks, let us put that first. Second, wiki should have a clear and evident disclaimer on the top of every page stating "these views our not our own".
hrmm.. I think, sir, you have it the wrong way round. What is dying out is the crook who pretends to know what he is doing clicking buttons on an obscure interface and waves his "certified asshole" certificate demanding big pay.
Maybe not but in all fairness c# is being met with a surprising amount of enthusiasm. I believe that MS has done the right thing, from their perspective. Now when they put their software in a bid requiring open standards, they have at least one tick box marked off. It's the smart thing to do andeven MS will eventually come round to an OSS-ish model of operations. Windows Live and webservice applications are their future.
But you can trademark anything. Had the chap in question put on his website "Windows Defender is a trademark of [himself]" he would have been asserting his trademark and protecting it under the internation laws and treaties governing trademark. Whether Microsoft would respect that is another issue but in anycase he would have had a set of legs under him in court.
The half dozen people who will only buy a console if it fits into their rack have a special club where they drink real ale and discuss their plan to take over the world.
erh dude, which part of Rule No. 1 did you not understand? ... you do not talk about...
Actually it sounds like he doesn't get the Open bit to begin with. The code is open and you are free to change what you want. Or simply review it for your sunday afternoon leisure. Whether or not some other person or company is happy to give you support is a different matter altogether. This is just more FUD. RedHat is not "less open" it is simply a greater financial gamble if you start changing code in a RHEL supported box, either they support it or they don't. However, this doesn't change the fact that you can freely download Linux and bake it from scratch or use one of the many distros and change the code as you see fit.
Well manned spaceflight has always had a portion of national pride involved and well, today's geopolitical situation doesn't really warrant that kind of muscle flexing. In addition, the "feel good" component is hardly relevant to a country who has just proven it's inability to care for it's own people in light of a disaster.
Society as a whole is slowly tetering off balance, not only in the US but the rioting in France shows that Europe is not immune to the decay of the fabric of society. Manned spaceflight is just not something we have the luxury of playing with when the barbarians are at the gates of Rome, I can only pray we don't fall asleep before they make the final charge.
So how is the unsuspecting pc (user) supposed differentiate between worms and "nematodes"? This is an interesting idea but best not let out of the lab. Also, how does this chap expect to get these things to work on *nix environments? does he propose "benevolent" rootkits?
Are achieved when the lie is plausible. And a behemoth of an organization is always slow to respond. You can compare any large organization to a garbage can! Lyndon et al have discussed this model for explaining strange behaviour of large organizations. http://choo.fis.utoronto.ca/mgt/DM.garbage.html
Basically change must be incremental for it too succeed in a garbage can.

Well perhaps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA may give you an idea..
What does this have to do with SECURITY ???? Are we gonna protect the USA from Osama the notorious movie pirate???

Okay, I was worried about mysql a while back but that problem seemed to go away after a yum update....
LOL! I would but I don't have a windows box.. although I do have 98 as a virtual instance on my mac.... nah that wouldn't qualify..

Would Mythbusters wanna try and bust the "myth" that Linux is "safer" than windows?
Ideas:
Set up "vanilla" boxes and leave them in the wild for a certain period of time and then check back and do forensics...
