MiTM. How do you know that you're establishing the connection with the person at the other end, and not just signing a stream with a different server or that your packets aren't being transparently intercepted and modified during the encryption setup phase?
lol, ok, lets set up this huge system of spying to fight the terrorists......and lets say there aren't many terrorist out there so there's not much to do with the system......what does any self serving bureaucracy do?..
Labels things that were not considered terrorism as terrorism. Use encryption? Terrorist!, Don't pay your child support? Terrorist!. Visit a protest? Terrorist! Child porn is Terrorism! Drug users are Terrorists! The list never ends.
As to the measuring cup example: if a number line is so intuitive to a measuring cups, why are so many sets of unmarked 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1 cup measuring cups sold? After all, shouldn't anyone just need a 1 cup measuring cup? For that matter, why need tablespoons and teaspoons? After all, a tablespoon is merely 1/16 of a cup and a teaspoon is 1/48 of a cup.
You would be correct if materials, especially powders leveled off in nice even measurements. It's just quicker to scoop out a 1/2 cup of flour with a 1/2 cup and level it flat, then it is to fill a larger container to the correct amount.
This ignores the point that most people with the type of equipment know nothing about securing their network from inside attacks.
The router is the number 1 piece of equipment to keep secure. Any unencrypted and unauthenticated traffic can be manipulated by your router, also it's the perfect point to launch a MiTM attack. Once a person is on the WLAN they are free to poke away at any other exploits the router may have till they get a shell on it, very few routers are firewalled on the inside.
Also as the AC's have stated, why would you want people possible sending spam, death threats, child porn from your supposedly secure router?
The police don't keep the money.. Your city gets a percentage of it. I can promise you there is a shit-storm from your city console if revenue from tickets falls too far.
My Jeep most certainly locks the wheel in the OFF position with the keys IN the ignition. Granted the vehicle was in park so I'll try another test when it's in gear. I specifically tested this due to the comments here.
BULLSHIT. Please shut the fuck up before you get someone killed.
As per my testing it 3 minutes ago a 1993 Jeep Cherokee will lock the wheel if...
The key is turned to the off position and left in the ignition. The wheel is slightly turned.
That is with the keys in the ignition still. So I do suggest that you try this out on a large number of different makes, years, and models to see that the behavior is not standardized before giving out advice as the truth.
Switches are much better when any two or more hosts on the network can use a significant percentage of the total bandwidth at once. Since about every device on a modern network can transfer at a full 100Mbps easily (at least until its memory buffers fill or empty on the slowest) a hubbed network would behave terribly. WiFi kind of works in the same way as the collision domain on a hub and you see this reflected in the raw throughput between hosts.
The other thing about a hub is it sends all traffic to all hosts on its domain. This is nice to use as a poor mans port mirror to try to figure out what's going on between black box devices, but other then that it's a total security nightmare. At least to capture packets on a switch you have to actively arp poison it or flood it to sniff traffic.
Not everyone orders electronics for themselves. I purchase a large number of computers and networking equipment for customers every year. Normally this is done online to implement a project, but some times a person will have a router, mouse, or some other small thing fail and want to get a replacement that same day. The choices around here are Office Max, Best Buy, and some local store that likes to reshrinkwrap used products and call them new (hmm look this 'new' cable modem has a different MAC then what's listed on the outside of the box and all the other identification stickers that came with it).
After years of annoying me in the stores, and terrible corporate polices that commonly make./ articles, I do my very best to avoid them. A large number of my customers wouldn't allow me to go to them anyway... They have pissed off so many of their customers all that is left for them to do is die.
If I've pissed up enough to get equipment on the net that can be hacked, I prefer a script kiddie owning it rather then a 'hacker' with knowledge and patience. The script kid will tend to be impatient or plain dumb, such as flooding the machine with traffic or knocking it offline, in which a problem will be noticed pretty quickly. The patient hacker... you may never know he was in your machine until he's compromised the entire network. He'll hide or patch the original hack so others can't use it and it doesn't show up in a pen test done on the network.
A script kiddie's like a flu, yea it can be deadly but you're running a fever and coughing so people see what's going wrong. A dedicated hacker is like HIV, by the time you notice it you likely have full blown AIDS and have spread it to all the partners around you.
I don't know what he means by it either, but family values do have a huge effect on the educational life of children.
Take a family that puts a high value on their education, mom and dad went to collage and are 'educated'. Statistically their children are going to have a better educational outcome. Chances are that in the first 4 years of that child's life that they will be home educated significantly by their parents so by the time they get to kindergarten they will already know there basic alphabet and numbers pretty well (my daughter who is three is very good with them).
Now take a family that does not value being educated, mom and dad may not have even completed high school and lack a large amount of what we would call higher education to pass on to their children. Instead of focusing on education they focus on things like pop culture, or simply making a living day to day. Even sadder still is parents that undermine their children's desire and willingness to learn new things, so by the time they get in the school system they are crippled.
Education starts at birth and ends when we die, it can happen at school or a college, but it doesn't only happen there. You can't just fix school if a culture believes that education isn't worthwhile.
I do believe somewhere around Java 6r16 they started removing the previous version when you ran the update, that said it doesn't remove any older secondary copies that were still around, but for most people your complaint has been addressed.
On the second part, why can't the distros deal with this themselves, since they do have the source they can have this check behave how ever they want... that said, I DO NOT WANT your broken distribution spreading AIDS on the internet. Enterprises, power users, and the uninformed still need to know that they are like a whore with syphilis when the browser they are using will gladly catch an infection from the first site that manages to ram it in. Google learned a lot about this not too long back.
The old HP lasers were tanks. There are still many of them in use today. I have an LJ1100 under my desk currently. Have to run it off a network print server now since my new computer doesn't have a parallel port. Ya, it's ancient but it doesn't do stupid crap like a large number of the new HP's. At some point HP when to from a logic in the printer to a logic in the driver model, and everything went downhill from there. A few customers of mine have relitively new HP LaserJets that are useless because they crash when you attempt to print pdf files. HP has known about the problem, but since the printers are not the newest line.
There are tons of other issues with the newer stuff like that:(
Oh never buy an HP inkjet. Man they seem to suck. The 6000-8000 series office all in ones, I've never heard such loud, slow to start printing, driver crash prone pieces in my life, And they die young too.
In theory, you'd just use the Red Hat recovery cd/dvd disk and have all the tools you need.
Also this is a viewer available, it's already on the Red Hat system. If someone was to make a statically compiled version of the tool, you'd be able to use it on most future RH systems.
Mostly likely not for hardware raid controllers. Now I will say 3ware cards are very compatible across hardware versions. So in general sticking with the same (decent) manufacture works. 3ware/AMCC's support is very good if you have a problem with their cards too.

If my car makes a funny noise I do get underneath it and fix it, that said I fix my own computers. Maybe there is some kind of correlation there.

Has Skype found a way to deal with issues like this yet?

They get your IP from Skype then head on over to Comcast (1 in 5 chance your on them in the U.S.) who freely gives them access to whatever they need.

Just wait till their internal website gets pwnt by a disgruntled employee and the network goes up like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory.
Running exploitable software is Russian Roulette, one day the trigger is going to get pulled and it's going to blow your head off.

Well, with the low number of RDP holes over the years, statistically speaking, it's just as likely your VPN will have an exploit and get hacked.
Remember, it's turtles all the way down. All a hacker needs to find is the weakest link in the chain.
I do believe you're wrong. Values come in negative amounts too. Feeding a disease can kill the host.
In 200 or 500 hundred years we've killed our planet's core
You obviously have no idea how big the earth is and how much potential energy is under us.
