    ...spat on and blurred so much you cant read it any more.

    That's why I don't like inkjet printers.

    Everybody has a right to post anonymously, not just Americans. But if somebody finds out...ooops, too bad. They too have a right to post that info. They don't a right to force anybody to reveal it though.

  4. Re:Google's Right on New Security Concerns Raised For Google Docs · · Score: 1

    If you put anything on the net, that expectation is futile. Regardless of any written policy. It is simply impossible to verify. On the internet, there will always be the matter of trust.

    Let's keep it simple, eh? Purge the whole document. There. problem solved.

    It can't be both?

    Marine, what is that button on your body armor?
    A peace symbol, sir.
    Where'd you get it?
    I don't remember, sir.
    What is that you've got written on your helmet?
    "Born to Kill", sir.
    You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
    No, sir.
    You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.
    Yes, sir.
    Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.
    I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
    The what?
    The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.
    Whose side are you on, son?
    Our side, sir.
    Don't you love your country?
    Yes, sir.
    Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?
    Yes, sir.
    Son, all I've ever asked of my marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.
    Aye-aye, sir.

    That's because they're bootlegs, and updating will just install WGA

    Unfortunately, it's the market that will decide how to deal with exploits. They will always go to the highest bidder. White hat, black hat, it doesn't mattah.

    when wiring money to a new account number, the account number of the recipient itself is part of the cryptographic challenge, there's no MITM, no nothing that can work against that

    Very confident you are.

    I'd like any hint from people who are surfing in a "safer" way.

    Use somebody else's computer.

    The contestants already have next year's winning exploit waiting in the wings. Maybe we should have these contests every month instead of once a year.

  19. Re:He was sitting on the winning weakness on Pwn2Own 2009 Winner Charlie Miller Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Nice one :-) But the big pharma analogy still applies. And it's just the whole attitude of "every man for himself" that came out of the 80s with its not really free markets that makes the guy act like this. And who knows? Maybe we can find less than six degrees of separation between undisclosed software vulnerabilities and somebody's demise.

    You are incorrect. The analogy is spot on, with millions of deaths every day to back up his claim.

    We just need to quit dumping our garbage in there. Does that make sense? Or is it just another one of my wild dreams?

    Less, if you exclude the phone and light bills. It doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I got a roof, fridge, stove, hot water, and a computer. The weather's nice, and the beach is close by. Am I missing anything? And no, I don't get near McDonalds. Not after I saw the inside of their ice cream machine. Besides, they're very expensive.
