    However, I seem to remember an episode, where a rope, had been lest trailing through from one side of the hole to another ...which to my knowledge of inanimate objects might not fall under that rule, maybe organic objects living, that could be severely damaged by such and act would not be allowed, where as a rope, or in this case a tube would be ok...???

    They could create a sort of tubbing that pierces the event horizons protective layer, and let the hole in the tube sticking through both sides fillup the air they need...but then again this is just a show, and not real life, so maybe there are x * x reasons for not being able to!

    Did you even read the prior parent post "son", you sound like you just read mine, without checking the post previous. I am also saying that it makes no sense to charge the creator of the nuclear bomb
    with the deaths, when someone else dropped it on hiroshima.... do you know how to read???

    Because the files being encrypted are sensitive materials, they might try to push the legislation (however misinformed) to being that the creators of the application are responsible for
    making sure the files are not leaked else they face legal recourse... so if the creator of the bomb
    should not be held accountable for the deaths of his creation, then why should the creator of this app be held accountable if someone is too stupid to enable the proper encryption schema?

    This will push the scenario that the application should be knowing which files are which, and what is considered sensitive materials,
    and will eventually fall upon the program and its creators to block or not block, and unintentionally also legallities associated to
    sharing such files.
    The creators are not supposed to limit what files are being shared, and definitely not be held accountable if someone uses the app for their own evil purpose, else the creator of the nuclear bomb should be imprisoned for all the deaths in Hiroshima!
    This makes no sense, and I see where it is going, hopefully the bill wont pass.

    Yeah, I don't think you can compare this to a herd of animals though, maybe a viral population infection, where once the disease is caught it is multiplied exponentially, and if you use a viral infection comparison, you need to use one which can evolve and also can be caught again, not because you had it once, you can't catch it again...same with computer viruses.
    Also if you have 1 infected pc on the network while you are trying to get rid of it, it's an impossible task, you have to disconnect the pcs from the network, fix all of them , then reconnect else you just keep re-propagating the virus.

    Just get nmap, configure it to run as multiple instances form multiple computers, and configure each running instance to have certain search parameters. If this is what they are talking about, not much to see here, you just downplay the load on a server, by telling it to play only certain vulnerabilities, leaving others to look for different types.

    Seriously, sounds like alot of BS just to fill up a story, once you find an exploit, it stops there, sends you an email and waits for you to log back on to fix or move on to other things...no need to let all the other instances know there is a vulnerability here, as they will progress there on their own time...if each is set out to look for a specific thing.

    I think its a good idea to spread out certain jobs to certain servers to lighten the load, unless you are on a blade server, or cluster then it ends up all being the same.

    Banks here like td, or scotia are small in comparison, and don't want to invest money in security.

Now go to a bank out of nowhere and then say you had your card stolen, they will look at the tapes, and yes will refund your money, however if they think foul play, they have their own investigation units that follow their customers around a bit and mine up info on friends, and then match head shots to friends, and then bring you in, and say this is YOUR friend, we will not reimburse you, but think it a present that we found out your friend was stealing, so you can press charges against him....then the gig is up.

    You would be surprised, on things they do once the money IS stolen, but if they can avoid it all together, and pass the buck, they will, even if they had the best security at their disposal.

    The problem IS THE BANKS!
    No matter how you look at it, the simple fact that their stance on identity theft and fraud prevention is this, what ever costs them less to maintain a working capital. If this capital goes down too much then they get driven to find a way to bring that back, however this might not be ...create the next foolproof system, it could very well be, find a way to disassociate yourself from the responsibility of
    being in control of your client's transactions.

    Did you know that the banks do not want to invest in the security infrastructure because it costs less to just keep goig the way things are going, and reimburse when they lose the case or obviously have proof against them that it was not your transaction, so they reimburse you, and move along. They do not care to enforce security.

    Until banks are made accountable for ALL the fraud they could protect from but don't, they won't learn their lessons.
    The interesting thing here to note too, is that they will always be interested in the least costly security system (online that is) compared to the banks in zurich that have the highest systems in place. They know it is a loosing battle with the OS systems we have today....the only way I think you could ensure their security, is if they developed their own OS, a banking OS client and server.
    sort of like sabre for the airlines... and then this could in fact be used in conjunction with higher grade encryption and call systems.

    Certain banks have calling systems, that allow you to access banking by phone, speach recognition is a great asset.
    Also, this could be done when ever their are transactions in place...you could have a phone call that comes to you, and
    you are solicited to then give acceptance of a transaction.

    Sh*t if I had a banking that had a system that I could say, for every transaction (except these types...repetition, pre authorized etc...) i want a phone call to confirm else just refuse it....aside from banking charges, you would know every time you had something come up. This would only work on low volume accounts....but I am sure a system could be devised for higher volume accounts too.

    The drive just isn't there...many ideas, but none they want to invest in...
