  1. IMHO on Everyone Is A Hacker In Training · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can see what means, but as always, it comes out wrong.

    I know for a fact there are (intelligent) people that no matter HOW hard they try, they cannot program - it is just literally impossible for them, they just cannot grasp the concept. Maybe this is to do with the way some people's mind works or not, I don't know, but it has something to do with it.

    Now to the 'hacker' bit. Anybody that can/does understand programming/concept is only one step away from being a 'hacker' (not a _cracker_ !). It is the next step after learning the base, and 'hacking' is the logical next step to learn more.

    But as I said, not everybody has the ability, willing or unwillingly.

  2. So who is wrong? on Zotob and Mytob Worm Authors Arrested · · Score: 0, Troll

    Perhaps. But unless you are on windows, and with the additional £300 MS Office, you are not going to see a lot?

    Straight away any creditabilty to a study group issuing information in a non open standard application leaves doubt.

    Total Recall? It's been done already!

  10. EULA on Internet Security Warnings · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The thing that really galls me on MS with these issues is the fact that it's THEIR problem, and they issue a security update to patch a product a user BOUGHT under good faith. Then you have to sign your life away/agree to various thing MS can do to your machine to apply it - as if it's YOUR fault and not MS's onus.

  13. Blue Peter on FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA · · Score: 1

    I wonder what wrath this will inflict on the generations of people brought up in the UK on Blue Peter? Will we all start getting sued by 'Sticky backed plastic', 'toilet roll' and 'washing-up bottle' Companies?

    And when suicide bombers don't give a shit about their own lives, what good (read they have no material ownership to worry about) is all going to do anyway?

    Absolutely nothing.

    All that is achieved is finding out the names of the suicide bombers and seeing who they are _after_ they have blown themselves and a few Joe Public to bits.
