I'm glad to see it. A few years back the NHL started introducing "special effects" like creating a sort of "halo" around the puck to easily spot it behind the boards or the red trail when the puck broke a certain speed.
I suppose if they didn't change with the times they'd still play without helmets and have chain-link instead of Plexiglas...
It's not a "fight fire with fire" issue. You don't NEED a gun to defend yourself. Plenty of people have home surveillance / security systems that keep people out without the need to own a gun.
Firearms were invented with the INTENDED purpose, to kill. "Hacking Tools" actually have a positive purpose, some people just happen to use them with malicious intent. I'm aware that there are other uses for guns, I was simply stating that Hacking tools and guns are different because of their intended purpose.
Let's stay focused on the issue. I was already well aware of the worlds reasoning for hating Americans. Thanks.
You can take it even farther than that. Guns don't really have a positive use. No one is really hunting for survival anymore. Many hacking tools were created with sysadmins in mind. I personally have run into a situation where I either have to reinstall IRIX from scratch (licensing and all) or run john the ripper on the root password for a while. Yes, there is a way around in this case, but completely legitimate use of John the ripper saved me tons of time.
I don't even want to think where I'd be without the likes of tcpdump, nmap, or other tools. We would have to guess our systems are secure without actually knowing.
While we're at this trend of making decisions about topics in which we have no place, let's have all the male computer scientists settle the abortion debate! Maybe have kids under the age of 7 decide the new drinking age? Hell, let's just give every toddler the vote.
Well, if it is true we're one step closer to being replaced by machines, and we all know what happens next, the Matrix. Unless we make powerplants that run on human waste... make them need us. Yes, good thinking Bill.
The problem with credit card fraud as a result of identity theft is that most local police will not have the resources to handle that crime. The FBI's department of Cyber Crime starts handling crimes involving theft of customer data and identity theft when they either cross into more than one state or do more than $5000 in damage. Plus California is currently the only state that requires by law that companies report a loss of computer data to the police.
Why don't you just restart your browser each day? And there can be no good reason to keep 40 tabs open. Face it, it not the browser, its you.
Because most of us dont want to settle to restarting an App every day or reformating every month. We don't want cheap windows workarounds, we want software that works.
very true:P i have become used to the fans from the computers in my room. no one else can stand my room for too long and i feel...odd without the humming.
Flexible PVC conduit is really nice because you don't use elbows, there are no splices, etc.
Um...not a good idea. PVC is nice a cheap, but you run into problems installing anywhere near someone's living space. If there's a fire PVC tends to have some problems with dangerous fumes...
I'm not too far away (about 20 minutes from Denver) but still not a good place for any decent internet conenction. We had done pretty much the same thing. We used to have Sprint for ~$50/month then switched to Comcast which is less than $40/month with cable tv. Great speed and it doesn't lag randomly like sprint did. I love my cable and don't see any reason to go back.

Booting into root without a password seems like it fits their definition of a hacking tool. Can't use the Apple or 's' keys anymore!
