The phisher can't get the image from the bank's site without logging in as you first. The image could even be generated using hash visualisation so there wouldn't be a library of standard images for the phisher to try.
Maybe they should use exponential backoff - each time you bring a lawsuit and lose, you have to wait twice as long to have the next one heard. If you win, the counter is reset.
I was comparing democracy as a form of government with capitalism as a form of government (i.e. letting the "dollar vote" decide everything). I agree that capitalism as a form of government is a stupid idea, but it was advocated by the post to which I was replying.
Communism. Thats the problem causing the Great Firewall of China, not Google or Microsoft or Cisco, but the underlying Totalitarianism of China.
That's true, but let's be practical. Google, Microsoft and Cisco can be held accountable by the US government. The idea of communism cannot. If the US can block all trade with Cuba, it can also block trade with China if that trade undermines the civil, political and human rights of the Chinese people. I understand that China is an important trading partner, not to mention a nuclear power - a complete trade blockade is out of the question - but ethical restrictions on trade can and should be established.
China wants the Internet censored, if all the Corps in the Free World banned togeather and said no, China would roll thier own solution.
Wrong, they can make the most money from a monopoly or a cartel, which is why we need laws against such things. Even Adam Smith thought so.
The dollar is the best form of democracy, you get to vote wiht your dollar to the best company and product.
The "dollar vote" would lead to wage slavery. Imagine for a moment that you lose everything in a freak accident or a robbery. You have to work for food and shelter. Without labour laws a company can offer you food and shelter but no cash, and no other company will have an incentive to offer you more. So you will become a wage slave, with no "dollar vote" to improve your situation, and your children will be born as slaves.
The reason democracy is superior to capitalism is that you cannot spend your last vote - everyone is guaranteed a minimum amount of political power, although of course the rich have more power, as in any system.
This silly anti-capitalist mentality really has no backbone to it.
This simplistic, naive, anti-democratic mentality has no foundation in reality. It's the last of the utopian ideologies, and it should take its place in history alongside the divine right of kings and the dictatorship of the proletariat.
I'd go further: companies that enjoy the same legal rights as individuals should bear the same legal responsibilities as individuals. The corporate equivalent of serving a prison sentence is suspending commercial activity. If a company commits a crime (ie if responsibility cannot be attributed to any single employee), the company should serve the same sentence as a person who commits the same crime.
A programmer contributing to a BSD project gives his code away in the hope that others will do the same. A programmer contributing to a GPL project gives his code away in the knowledge that others will have to do the same (unless they want to maintain a private fork of the software).
Actually the backbone routers are far more of a liability - take down the DNS root servers and caches would keep things ticking over for a few days. Take down a couple of backbone routers and the resulting BGP storm might take down the internet...
Tell that to ICANN. It's all very well hooking up to your neighbour, but if you don't have a routable IP address you can't talk to anyone except your neighbour.
In short: the Internet is doing just fine, people! It's the systems hooked up to it that have problems!
What is the internet, if not the systems hooked up to it?
Are you talking about HIP? Not sure how it would prevent spoofing any more than IPSec - you can't expect every packet to carry a digital signature to be verified by every router, so verification is only going to occur end-to-end, which you can do with IPSec already.
On the other hand if you want to secure name-to-address bindings, put a digital signature in a DNS TXT record...
The business about zombies seems like a potential code for the need to block "normal" users from connecting with each other.
That solution has actually been suggested by Mark Handley and Adam Greenhalgh - check out the slides and the paper. Sounds like exactly the kind of proposal Clark is asking for.
If that's the religion you want, just tear the first 500 pages out of your Bible. Er, and the last 200 pages. Come to think of it, just tear out Matthew's Gospel and staple it along one side.
But the aim isn't to move the rotor faster, it's to move the rotor slower, so that the aircraft can move faster without the leading tip exceeding the speed of sound.
One possibility would be to lock the rotor in position, but as they explain in the FAQ, that requires a very stiff rotor (as stiff as a wing). If you let the rotor rotate slowly then the centrifugal force (yeah yeah there's no such thing) helps to keep it flat and it doesn't need to be as stiff.
Perhaps next time the US invades a country it should drop a few crates of uniforms first, so the people defending their homes against an invading army can be classed as lawful combatants.

I think it's something about Al Gore.

That's ass a stupid rule.

True, but you can't trademark a word that's in common usage (which is one reason so many trademarks have weird spelling).
...which ending are they going to show?

What happens if two authorities hand out the same name to different people? DNS is hierarchical for a reason.

Read some Kierkegaard. The essence of belief is the absence of objective proof.
Heck, if god came down in a burning chariot, and said Follow Me, well, I'd know which side I'd put my money on THEN.
I imagine it would probably be too late at that point.

I'm sure you're right, but the irony is that last time Indymedia's UK servers were siezed, it was by the FBI.
The same reasons for the US invasions of Zimbabwe, Burma and Rwanda? Please...
- Install US-friendly governments in major oil-producing countries and along major pipeline routes (no sign of the scandal flag so far)
- Oil reserves start to run out
- Europe and Asia don't have access to cheap oil; US does
- Profit
Conclusion: if I were Hugo Chavez I wouldn't bother saving for my pension.Perhaps next time the US invades a country it should drop a few crates of uniforms first, so the people defending their homes against an invading army can be classed as lawful combatants.
