What I mean is, the most highest purpose of a man's life is his family, to care for them and to protect them, with body and soul, and that also includes financial matters.
Your highest purpose is your family. While commendable, and certainly something I agree with, that may not be the same for every man. But that's not the only problem with your argument. Another problem is the assumption that the several billion dollars still left over for his children is some how not enough to ensure their financial independence.
This is why I hang out on slashdot. If you'll recall, I commented about this a while ago. Frankly, I can't wait to see the presentation and the ensuing fallout.
Security guard: Sir? Can you turn on your laptop please? Osama: Sure thing officer. *backtrack boots up* Security guard: That looks funny, what's that? Osama: Linux. Security guard: You must be a computer guy, huh? Osama: Yes sir. Security guard: Alright, well you have a good flight.

The article doesn't mention several things, like the more modern methods that wireless hackers are breaching security. instead of attacking at layer 3, attackers these days are focusing on layer 2 attacks... they're attacking the wireless device drivers themselves, looking for a way in. I heard a podcast where Joshua Wright was mentioning taking over devices that way so as to avoid those pesky firewalls. I just googled wireless hack layer 2 stack driver joshua wright to find some articles. You're on your own for specifics though - just say no to script kiddies.
So I was thinking to myself, why would the RIAA or MPAA delete all those files? Well, one possible reason for that would be to start a clean log of files downloaded from a p2p program. Say one year down the line the RIAA calls for another round of lawsuits. By subpoenaing (sp?) joe blow's computer based off his IP address, and "finding out" that the virus hit him on May 16th, they can determine that he's shared x number of songs x number of times. Maybe the virus starts a clean slate so that it can be sure how many times you've downloaded stuff.
Frankly, I'm signing up to be a beta tester for several reasons. First, wireless anything is attractive to me.
Biometric information is wirelessly transmitted to a personal computer and ultimately, the Internet.
And I'd like to sniff the packets just to see what they are actually sending/what kind of encryption they are using/etc. Secondly, as someone who is trying to lose weight via an exercise program (I mean program literally - I play the dance game In The Groove) the following is also attractive:
The Athletic SmartShirt System allows the comfortable measuring and/or monitoring of individual biometric data, such as heart rate, respiration rate, body temperature, caloric burn,
The elvis impersonator that performed my wedding is the same one that performed the wedding for britney spears (sp?). I'm pretty much within 6 degrees of everyone in america due to that.
we have a mix of wyse and CLI terminals in our environment numbering somewhere near 35000. Call volume has dropped almost 50% over the last year, first call resolution is up, number of escalated calls are down. as far as success stories go, we're one of them.
I was just telling my wife that I thought this was the case due to a philosophy class. In this class, we had to watch a video discussing the reasons behind intelligent design and why they thought there was a creator. This "physicist" (who taught at a religious college) was saying something along the lines of "the possibilities of life existing were extremely small" because had the big bang occurred with more force, gas would have expanded forever, and with less force it would have quickly shrunk back into a dense mass. Basically he said to look at it as a spectrum, with the possibility of ending up where we were being infinitely small, while the possibility of too little (or too much)force was infinitely high in comparisson. I thought his argument was stupid because if the explosion occurred with too little force, there was the possibility of the mass exploding again and again until it got to where we are now. Still, good to have someone back up my uneducated argument:)
Don't worry gramps, they'll buy from you. Anyone with a slashdot user number as low as yours has to have seen everything under the sun ever invented as far as computers are involved.
Frankly, I'd like to see how vulnerable my car is. If I can hack it in 20 minutes, well, ok so that'd be cool and stuff, but I can modify my car's computer through a tool made available from volkswagon. I'd like to expirement with my car. I dunno. Try to lock it down a bit if you'll pardon the pun.
Using a Polyalphabetic Substitution Cypher, the letters become b m q b e r q g w k h e i v n p g o p a x w i i t o b j working on doing something with that...
From another article: Tench said the judge teasingly remarked that the code is a mixture of the italicized font code found in the book 'The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail' - whose authors were suing Dan Brown's publisher, Random House, for copyright infringement - and the code found in Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code.'... After the ''Smithy Code'' series, there are an additional 25 jumbled letters contained on the first 14 pages of the document, Tench said, adding he thinks the series can be decoded using an anagram or an alphabet-inspired, code-breaking device. Known as a codex, the system is also found in Brown's ''The Da Vinci Code.''
Rearranging the words and doing some googling, I think that the answer is to rearrange the words with the italicized letters. 'et in Arcadia ego.' is one of those things that cropped up in the Da Vinci code. This is directly tied into the family crest of Plantard, in which the key is emblazoned. Also, the claimant is from New Jersey. I may be reaching here... so stop me if it sounds too far fetched.
Letter break down is as follows for those looking to do a statistical analysis on what popped up. Letters with n(n) indicate that the number in parenthesis is the total number of letters. Number before parenthesis is the number discounting smithycode (which may or may not be useful). I've got a couple of theories. A) it appears to be a substitution cypher, unless the judge used qed or one of the words that does not have a u after the q. or B) it could be simply that the words themselves can be rearranged to form the judges thoughts on the case - The required words all appear to be there for this. a - 4 b - 0 c - 1(2) d - 1(2) e - 3(4) f - 1 g - 2 h - 0(1) i - 1(2) j - 1 k - 1 l - 0 m - 2(3) n - 0 o - 1(2) p - 2 q - 1 r - 1 s - 2(3) t - 2(3) u - 0 v - 1 w - 1 x - 1 y - 0(1) z - 1
Nice, but those aren't the actual letters in the brief. I'm looking through the brief now to find the actual letters since the editors nor poster could get it right. Doesn't look like the story itself got it right either from what I can tell.
Cracking is when an intermediate form of the password (e.g., an encrypted form stored in the authentication database) is captured and attacked algorithmically, or where iterated attempts are made to generate the password algorithmically. The efficacy of this approach is determined by the strength of the obfuscation used (e.g., encryption), the checks on bad attempts, and the power and scope of the resources brought to bear (e.g., parallel computing, multi-lingual databases).
So, if I capture an ntlm hash, and run it through a rainbow table, how in the hell is 3 checks on bad logon attempts or parallel computing going to do anything? Excuse me mr expert, but I think you need to STFU.
why not generate ad revenue from their web site, while at the same time allowing customers to download songs legally for a fee? Just get away from the stupid business model, and go with the winner. Think about the 1 billion downloads that itunes has achieved, and recognize that people want to pay for music.

Seriously.. I had to reread that sentence half a dozen times before I tagged the article lousyeditor. And uh, grammer? As in grammar?

You've uncovered the real reason we Americans have just as long of life spans.
Stress.
Obesity.
Unhealthy food.
Lack of exercise.
We've got soul baby!

And I think anyone objecting to a show about evil robots whose name is an anagram for "Cyborg tune ho" should be regarded with suspicion.
Says the man who's name anagrams to Stymie cool combat.
