Methinks you should look to the North (of Aussie) for your answer. There's a lot of power there. Perhaps just enough to wrestle Australia off the political orbit of the former British Empire.
Your post is entertaining, but rather misinformed. Social engineering is being used on a very large scale, with varying levels of success. Every VBscript kiddie who writes a virus that the users need to execute to get infected does it. As for dumpster diving... Whose dumpster would you be diving into if you wanted to assemble knowledge for the next uberworm?
It's also the same cebit where lotsa people came to showcase all kinds of software. If it were up to me, i'd mod the original article "grossly uninformative"
Sadly, it isn't
5. Defense from MIM attacks comes in the (admittedly weak) form of the MD5 hash of the package you get. You do have a point here. I've always wondered why it's still used.
4. d'you trust anyone? how stringent are your security needs?
3. see above. Auditing the codebase is at least possible. nuff said.
2. and 1. how about a l00s4h | 1337 system? (as in, using one OS to do net stuff, and another, not networked one to do work that needs security? With a one-way data cache between them? You cannot exploit a security hole that you can't get to.
Abuse by the powers that be always results in revolt of the sheepses (although how long it takes for things to get to the point of another Boston tea party is quite another matter).
You ac'lly do have the right to buy anything from Dell - including a computer w/ no OS installed. Sad fact is, Dell's not selling. They're being coaxed, not strongarmed.
Gates' keynote is about DRM.
He's talking of a way to only allow apps and content to run if it has all the necessary permissions- implemented as an OS-level service.
well, not really. Adaptive OCR software's been doing this for ages. With varying rates of success, certainly, but nonetheless. Ironically enough, one application of OCR is to beat those little "write here the text you see in the blurry pic above" types of tests against login bots.
A7N8X really IS a piece of mis-engineered crud. Sadly, Linux sound driver vendor support comes in the form of... well, a link to the alsa project homepage. Bit ironic, or should I say disrespectful.

Since when is the political aspect of things separate from the economical? Hate me if you will, but your post doesn't make sense. India is not communist. If it was, each indian would starve a moderate amount of time, there wouldn't be people dying from hunger and disease in the streets, literacy would be at or around 98% and the inteligentsia would be in gulags for being unproductive and contemptuous of the unwashed masses. There. Also, people like you would be running the show.
On the other hand, Freenet's pseudonimity is weak, there's no anonimity whatsoever, and as far as accountability is concerned, well, whatever "illegal" stuff is happening there, you're an accesssory to it. Precisely because you're running a node knowing full well what it might contain (i.e. everything and anything).
There is beauty in any form of human expression, imo. I know of one mathematician who turned to poetry because when he got tired of maths he couldn't find any other more rigorous mode of thought.
I grew up in a place where you had to call your friends "comrade". And your enemies too.
You think with a language, not in one. I am loath to give long explanations here (ok, ok, mod me down), but some grammars really are underlined with different logics, such as, say three different truth values vs. two, tree-left vs. tree-right parsing, analytical vs. synthetical posessive case (English has both) and so on. Also keep in mind that particular syntax is a subset of a grammar, not the whole thing. Also, as another post points out, different semantic configurations (i.e. meanings) seem to map to different parts of the brain. That, to my mind, is one heck of an argument for the existence of varied thought modes.

Actually, this may be the reason why Superman does NOT boink Lois in the original comics. Also, if you try to calculate exit velocity you run into all sorts of trouble, since the density and viscosity of said liquid is, well, unknown. I would suggest that a material similar to the one used for the cape is what mr. Kent's condom is made of , too.
Actually, you never have time to build tanks - or flamethrowers - before a moderately competent adversary starts a zergling rush. The only defense you have time for is the good ol' marine - dug in as close to home as possible, preferably. Semper Fi!
I'm confused. What kind of circuits? Are you talking 'lectronics (as in diodes), or just plain old switches? Also, GV/m sounds awful high - as in high enough to induct a hell of a lot of rogue amps. How'd ya keep the thing stable?

Pests are a godawful problem too. Life on the Mir was stinky almost since day one - various fungi took hold and were never, ever completely wiped out.

It must have been an in-joke on the part of the episode's writer. In Star-Trek mock physics, warp >10 is simply unattainable.

how about paper and rubber stamp? you'd only have to deal with one sort of ink
Poeple smiling while waiting for the bus? In the open? What's this world coming to?

It doesn't apply to anyone, yet, nor will it in its current form. The Ministers will never sign such BS. Move along people, nothing to see here
Yes, I read the FA, and it actually is a FPitch, i.e a whitepapery pitch for O'Reilly's. Howzabout posting stories, ppl?

Who's we? Are you suggesting I stole the code or something? It's people like you that give geeks a bad name.
