Sure, until you recognize that it uses a basic modified UPX packer, set a break at the POPAD/JMP to OEP that UPX always has. Then the hidden code midway through the UPX stub installs the trojan and you're fucked.
Someone set up a fake Facebook account for me, and I have PROOF that you used Facebook in that period!
Using a social networking site should not be any sort of probable cause.
There are many claims against him, and I have no doubt that he has committed illegal activities with his computer - almost everyone I know has a cache of illegal movies/songs (except for me of course!). The claims of changing grades, however, are highly improbable and make me think most of the accusations by the roommate are purely revenge tactics to unveil the piracy.
Innovation isn't always necessarily super difficult or technical. It seems like a cool idea to me, especially if you think about replacing the trackers with "compromised wikis".
You can then have 'wiki sites' as fronts for P2P providers, with plausible deniability. TPB should experiment with this.
The broken window fallacy relates to economic effect of doing harm purely to create work. It applies when work is created that has no positive effects (fixing a window that wasn't broken before).
If a window is broken due to an accident, the broken window fallacy doesn't teach you not to fix it.
Finally, how does anyone expand without investors and developers who "have your back"?
Meh. According to the link, Sockstress is simply making lots of completed TCP connections to the target. The "sneaky trick" is apparently just doing it raw, so the client OS doesn't waste memory tracking them.
Meh. That is traditional hacking. A lot of the fun is lost when you don't have that subversive element.
I think it would be excellent to make an MMORPG style game, complete with anti-cheat mechanisms and banning (automated bans, not in-game mods), where the goal is to defeat the anti-cheat,automate the grinding, and use exploits to achieve faster leveling.
There is no "strong security" vs. "stronger security" in the realm of computers. There is "security that works" and there is no security at all. You are saying this is "security geared to prevent legal investigation", but how is this any different than all other security? Secure VPN is used in industry all the time for sensitive communications, is that "geared to prevent legal investigation?
There is no way to secure data specifically against the police. You simply secure it from EVERYONE.
If you honestly feel that strangers with cameras are a danger, then you should probably have a ten foot wall around your house. And guard dogs. And tinfoil hats.
(B) If you bring a patent claim against any contributor over patents that you claim are infringed by the software, your patent license from such contributor to the software ends automatically.
I stared at the PoC and the outputs wondering how the fuck they thought this was supposed to actually be run by the target, before remembering what day it was.

The Bush administration used blackmail to gain political influence in Congress? How are these fuckers still not in prison?
Agreed. I immediately thought that when I read "witnessed him hack the grading system" and such.
A laptop called "bootleg-laptop" sent the email. Quite generic if you ask me.
The computer bearing his name was "used to access the same social networking site..." which is absolutely, hands down, not probable cause at all.
"Someone made a slanderous Facebook account about me, and I can PROVE that you accessed Facebook!"

I always thought taking brains out of someone's head was piracy, but I guess it is actually theft.

You realize that was probably the real troll hidden within the more obvious Wintroll.
Your argument is unrelated to hetero/homogeneous networks. As a matter of fact, it is a point where a heterogeneous network performs better.
Because if even one system in your heterogeneous environment is exploitable you have just given them an easy backdoor to the rest of your system
Sure, but if your environment is homogeneous, that reads:
Because if even one system in your homogeneous environment is exploitable, they all are and you are totally fucked.
Eh, thats not the broken window fallacy at all.

That is not one of the claims of the patent. That is part of the abstract, which has no direct bearing on what the patent actually applies to.
If you read the claims, it amounts to "checking for an update at runtime, and updating without asking the users, then restarting the program".
Cool idea, I remember when I lost my save because of that. Bastard :(.
I think sketching intangirs is on the same level as the missingno bug.

The very first PS was a game called Sociopath, where you bought a gun from the local gun smithy and shot the local kids for fun.
This whole analogy is stupid.

Ignore yours, because no judge would give them a search warrant purely because you have a mail box.
Narp, I thought this too. But NASA holds many patents, and has auctioned some off in the past.
Yes it is.
Corrosive to many things I carry with me, such as my phone, wallet, laptop.
Dangerous to my health, leading to pneumonia and weakening the immune system against things such as colds and the flu.
Also, no I haven't ever used an umbrella.
Protect themselves from strangers with cameras
If you honestly feel that strangers with cameras are a danger, then you should probably have a ten foot wall around your house. And guard dogs. And tinfoil hats.
They will start having better multi-player. No-one wants to buy a used Blizzard or Valve game because they are afraid the CD key will be in use.

I don't see why any agency would have a contract obligating them to upgrade to Vista.
Even if they do, the legislature can refuse to foot the bill.
...if I think that posting here will give me the April Fool achievement?
