As anyone can see from any of my previous posts on the matter, it is not about Wikileaks it is though about the desire for someone with the information to have it released. No one but the person who had access to the information is responsible. The only thing this is going to solidify is that web sites "like" Wikileaks will be a target and suspected of terrorism merely by its existence. Who is to say if any other method of bringing this data to the public was available it would not have been used if Wikileaks was not available? The person/people who leaked the information from the government sure aren't living the good life right now but they must have had a reason to select this particular set of data. So would the data be leaked to the public if Wikileaks did not exist? If so, would it really matter if it was Wikileaks that did it?
All I'm trying to say is right now there is a big push to rip apart the middle man for the actions of the source. I know I might have hurt your feelings and I apologize.
You gotta be a special kind of stupid. How many times did you find your Christmas present before the day you were supposed to and got sent to prison? These people have families possibly kids and a wife/husband do you really think they want to spend that much time behind bars and miss all of that? Grow up a bit and realize these are grown ups. Why is it your parents don't come home every night from work with a secret stash of company info and post it to their blogs?
Any way if you are right and people with secret information in their control have some sort then there are people with much more information then these isolated few have access to. There is the acronym soup agencies, I'm sure NSA,FBI, et al all have much more information then one tech military guy so they must be uploading this stuff by the TB.
Turn it on before the "surgery" and show him/her how the screen turns on and what the keys are like and what they do. After you take it apart let him play with each component (watching for components with sharp parts) and maybe even trying to get it running again with out the bezel. Not that I have any kids but I doubt a 4 year old will have the patients to play with a computer more than once or twice anyway before it gets dropped/slammed/sit on and finally broken. I also doubt the kid will have any type of incentive to check email or web sites.
Maybe if your lucky you will inspire the kid to start tinkering and one day you will come over to find your car on blocks and each part laying on the front lawn;)
You should be asking why people working in the Military are leaking this info to begin with. The thing I find confusing is as a civilian is why are these people ratting themselves out? Maybe these people really are concerned about what is happening around them?
So far it has been members of the US Military that have disclosed these leaks, it's not like these were a result of outside hacks, these are a result of US Military personnel wanting to release this information to the world, Wikileaks is just the mule. I'm sure if the Russians or anyone else for that matter wanted to send information they could just as easily.
Maybe the question you should be asking is why is US Military personnel so motivated to leak so much apparently "damming" evidence?

Ha I just hacked the NSA,CIA,FBI and CSIS using RFC2594 with a DBSA(distribution of bird seed attack) and that was while I was posting to Slashdot, Twitter, Facebook and writing an advanced stock market algorithm in BrainFuck.
As other posters have pointed out just telling all the programs to behave properly is not enough. There are many programmers that work for many companies and in many cases QA goes as far as "Does it run?". So now you want to throw all these programs on a box that starts to demand they run with acceptable privileges and you think it is going to work? Not likely. Even database access usually has user names and passwords hard coded in most cases and usually involve drop and delete privileges when they don't even use those functions. So in short if you think just because a MS guy tells you Win7 will make your company more secure the reality is only the OS is more secure but your programs will rip it apart.
So you are saying two 4 year olds conspired to kill an elderly woman and this was just a result of a well executed plan? Well maybe there should be criminal charges as well?
The interesting thing here is that while the children definately require supervision you can argue the elderly person involved likely did as well. You could also argue any adult should be able to look after themselves and if not should attain care to counter balance their needs. Obviously the elderly person involved is no longer here to file the lawsuit so it is likely her survivors. If they are willing to point out the lack of care or oversight on the part of the childrens parents then as we see by the result of a relatively minor accident resulting in death that the same oversight was neglected by the survivors collecting on the womans behalf. Of course I just play a lawyer on the Internet but maybe these people bit off more than they could chew or made a knee jerk reaction based upon losing someone close to them. Personally if that old person was me I would be happy that if anyone put me out of my misery it was a fresh life and the last thing I would want is to torment these kids with the thought they deserved to be punished for what they did.
As much as I dislike this whole idea of censorship your comment made me think for a second. Maybe as far as creativity goes we have stagnated. Don't get me wrong graphical detail has increased, artistic representation of the story has gotten pretty good but it's the genres that need to change or get shaken up anyway. Right now pretty much every game needs a gun or has one anyway. Point, shoot,point,etc. Not that it's not entertaining but the only thing that's changed is the blood and gore. Now that will never change we will always have FPS but artists seem to "buck back" in some pretty cool ways when cornered and maybe this will give way to a new game maybe new meme or a new genre but the FPS will never go away. What ever the court room outcome there is way too much money to be made to close up shop and management wouldn't know a good thing if it snuck up and kicked them in the nuts, they will just put their heads down and go forward till something sticks.
So exploit NIC using routable packet, use DMA to grab CPU, use CPU to exploit ROM, use ROM to dupe packets with forged header to remote survey location, etc,etc.
I love this circular argument, windows guys use it against the Linux guys saying configuring the system takes time and I'm worth so much that it's better to run windows cause I save so much time and therefore money! Blah blah blah then they get a virus have downtime till they get the system backed up and formatted, new updates, hunt down that NIC driver so you can download stuff. It's an argument that's fun to watch as it's happening but I digress. As far as Farmville hey congrats! As far as it's users paying for livestock and other stuff that doesn't and will never exist, lol you deserve everything you bought!
The video and images show an X-Ray of a "bomb looking device" head on like they were looking right down on it, you know what would be the difference between that and just a couple of boxes laying next to each other? The wire in between. Now how are you going to be able to see a device like that from the side view? You won't. Now all you need to do is drive a vehicle that looks like it might legitimately carry boxes and stick the explosives some where in the middle. Just like the shoe bomber to the underwear bomber transition this will just be another technology to anticipate right beside the physical checks, back ground checks, etc. Other than finding a few mobsters with bodies in the trunk or drug dealers driving around with kilos of product I seriously doubt this will stop any type of terrorist attack.
Of course, for every "memory usage is fine" story, you have a "memory leaks!" story
While I see great evidence of this it still must be understood that you cannot just claim there is a bug with out providing some sort of backing to your claim. Not that anyone is necessarily lying but with out further information no one is going to be able to plug any leaks or fix any bugs. Primarily that is what I see in relation to this claim. You see a comment saying FF sucks! I do something with it and it is claiming $somehugeamount of RAM!!! With out knowing the complexity of each page loaded at that time, what plugins and other technologies are involved and possibly interacting with each other how do you expect the problem to get fixed?
Sorry to burst your bubble but I'm right now on a Dimension 8250 P4 2.53 w/ 512MB RAM w/ Ubuntu 10.10 Openbox. 15 tabs open in FF 3.6.11 and top shows 250MB total used out of 512MB. With about 100-150 for OS + Services and desktop manager it's actually pretty snappy. I do remember the days where after a few tabs opening and closing would cap me off at 800MB and be thrashing but now I really don't see it. You just can't tell someone the program is taking too much memory and not tell them what pages you have loaded and other specifics, there is no way I can just say it's using too much memory to a developer and he/she will be able to go through hundreds of thousands lines of code and figure out what went wrong, I'm sorry it just doesn't work like that. Bitch all you want but until your willing to meet half way I don't know what to tell you.
You could always try the scientific approach. Try it while you are not actually in a game! You think a coach wouldn't run a drill with the whole team making them try it out with a stopwatch if he thought it could help him win a game? If it woks everyone will do it.
How can you contrast any operating system against windows saying you get root access with the other guys? The problem with windows and privileges is that it will whore it's self to anyone and anything with an electron. No one has ever had a problem getting superuser privileges on anything made by Microsoft.
I have to admit I'm curious, why would someone rape another man because he has sex with other men? Do heterosexual male rapists avoid lesbians on principal and moral or did I miss something?

Just need to point out you don't offer any proof or citation yourself so how do you know the original figure is incorrect? Gut feeling?

Hey man you take what you can get.
If anything give him a screw driver and let him take it apart tell him what all the parts do and possibly even get it back together.

Malware is and should be mitigated by your anti virus solution.
