Since maybe like the Middle Ages, there have been many differing opinions about hustle and bustle. This cannot be denied. It is my intention to sit down and play video games for several hours.
The book smart coders think their way is the best, the hobbyist will think "I've been doing this for FUN, I'm obviously better"... people in the middle think their blend of experience makes them better.
Personally, I think they're all wrong, I'm the best!
It would be better then, to just blow the whistle without giving specific details which could be used to "bring the Internet to its knees"...
Cisco would be hurt, no secrets would be divulged, and Cisco would still try to fix the problem before it was discovered...
Of course, without the specifics, the information may be seen as less valid, but if they investigate the source, and the source is a trusted expert (as in this case)... then why do you need to know the specifics?... I'm sure Lynn contacted Cisco, also, and notified them of this vulnerability...
Hmm, you seem to be reading very much into what I was saying.
No, covering up a wide-affecting vulnerability should ALSO have consequences.
However, spreading the vulnerability is ALSO just inviting someone to use it.
Sure, Cisco would have to fix it then, but the damage would already be done...
You think too much in blacks and whites, saying 'spreading that information is not a good idea' does not mean that Cisco is doing right, there is a possible conclusion that can be drawn (that I have drawn)... that says BOTH are wrong...
A lot of companies use E-mail to arrange things, do online ordering (could mean millions in losses for online only companies)...
Such an "attack" would destabalize faith in tech stocks and businesses... prices drop, the companies make adjustments to try and cover these losses... this can cause loss of jobs, revenue, etc...
It'd be a sharp blow... not as bad as blowing up a building, but it'd be a low point for the year, probably...
It really killed the gold market, everything was incredibly inflated because people would dupe 10 million gold checks (which are what they sound like, just a marker for 10 million gold)...
It's not always trackable if you move it into items... trade it away, buy stuff from stores then resell it... it's like virtual money laundering...
Though that all depends on if/how WoW tracks gold, perhaps they've made improvements over UO (as UO is rather old)...;)
That is the connotative meaning of monopoly... the actual dictionary definition is different:)
Etymology: Latin monopolium, from Greek monopOlion, from mon- + pOlein to sell 1 : exclusive ownership through legal privilege, command of supply, or concerted action 2 : exclusive possession or control 3 : a commodity controlled by one party 4 : one that has a monopoly
This isn't a rebuff or anything, I'm just being overly technical;)
Indeed, couple the facts that the US created it... with the fact that they own almost all of it... and then add the fact that they were kind enough to share it with other nations, in the spirit of international community and freedom...... and you will get why the prospect of the UN running it irritates me.
===
The UN see a way to make a buck and a way to get control and influence. The member nations want whatever power they can get for themselves.
Never mind that taking these controls, potentially taxing them, robs the Americans who created the infrastructure of their rights. It's not about the intellectual property of Americans or even just "possession being 9/10ths" and all of that... the United Nations DESERVES this!
*sarcasm detector explodes*... (ending rant now for the sake of my own sanity)
I had a long day, too, and a long night, have mercy!
No sleep + 24 segfaults (I counted, I keep a scoreboard in each program I write)... now, after 36 hours of waking out-of-bounds writing hell, I SLEEP... but you had to go and destroy my ENGLISH FANTASY wherein I actually can use the language properly!...

"WAY 2 FAST, WAY 2 FURIOUS"
... humanity has rarely (see also: never) embraced change. There is no point of exponential explosion.
...?
;)
In fact, I thought I remembered reading something about the rate of development slowing down?
===
Given humankind's history, doesn't it seem more likely that nanotechnology and other future concepts will be used to control the "fellow man"
If we don't kill ourselves first.
Call it FUD... I'm no misanthrope... just an educated cynic.
Why?
RIAA wants P2P networks shutdown due to these copyright issues.
Universities and other organizations block P2P because of these same copyright issues, under pressure from lawsuit threats by the RIAA.
===
The RIAA is a threat to P2P, even if you are just sharing original works of art.
Legal users may not have as much of an interest in seeing RIAA get a punch to the kidneys, but there is still some cause for interest, I'd say.
[Legal uses of P2P filesharing are an innocent bystander, but they still will get gunned down with illegals]
(( this coming from someone who had his access removed at a university for sharing the Project Gutenberg DVD on eDonkey ))
It only takes a few, aye, and only starts there.
If any of these cases against the RIAA are successful... I think we'll see many more people standing up to them.
Once you can prove that Goliath can be felled with just a sling, everyone wants to be David.
I just spin in circles really fast while holding the camera out.
I suppose there is the drawback of dizziness and eventually falling down.
This one is more obvious... but many articles that are essentially flamebait make it up here all the time...

Richard Lynn, the emeritus professor of psychology at Ulster University, will never get laid again.
If the enemy gets morphing plans, a morphing car may be the ONLY chance we have of stopping them!

A lot of you are saying the information on this vulnerability, which could cripple the Internet if taken advantage of, in order for Cisco to fix it?
I may be just a simple caveman, but this sounds like a tremendously bad idea... someone would take advantage of it sooner or later...
The Internet dropping, even for a few hours, would have a profoundly negative impact on the world economy...
I mean, geez, just think about it...
I think the point may have been that Google's information comes up first...
If they can't reproduce... what on earth is the advantage?
Looks like all we're doing is getting 1 step closer to vat grown fish sticks, yee haw!

It was either that or the homework itself was very little...
