Wow, you mean when I go to www.nsa.gov my packets can be sniffed by AT&T and then given to the NSA? What kind of twisted Orwellian nightmare has this world become?!
That reminds me of when I had a meeting with Santa Claus and his head elf. He full blank told me that you are full of shit. However, I wasn't really shocked by that statement. He said that you will be getting coal next year.
Let me say, speaking as a developer, the rootkit.com site is a give and take system for both rootkit and anti-rootkit developers alike. As new anti-rootkit software is released, the community evaluates it, figures out the weaknesses and publishes the results. This allows rootkit developers to gain new insights into the inner workings of anti-rootkit software and Windows itself. In turn anti-rootkit developers learn from their mistakes and can come up with new ways to overcome their weaknesses. Without each other, the types of protection offered would stagnate until some unknown programmer creates a very nasty rootkit that nobody is prepared for. It's the people that aren't publishing their source code that you really need to worry about. Because they are only interested in one thing, owning you.
I'm in the USA and I enjoyed "Mark Ecko's Getting Up" but it is hardly a new idea. The plot is basically a rehash of "Turk 182!". The game mechanics are a little different but it's just a FPS with guns replaced by a can of spray paint.
Personally, I like games to tell me a story with me playing the lead role. The game mechanics may not change much but the stories are what set them apart. That is why "Doom 3", "Quake 4", "F.E.A.R.", "Comdemned: Criminal Origins" and games like that will always rock my world. The stories are great and the more realistic they look and feel, the more immersive they are.
Many of them lack the skills required to do this. Most botnet operators don't make their own bots. The ones that do are the ones you'll never hear about.
I have this wonderful program call ProcessGuard that can prevent any non-authorized application from being executed and you can require a password to modify the settings. It doesn't matter if you run as admin or not.
But getting back to the topic, yes this is a worm BY DEFINITION.
A worm propagates by itself without user intervention. While at first glance it may seem that means the user doesn't have to run it in the first place, that's a common misconception. What it means is, once the program is active it is then able to spread itself via the network without user intervention. Unlike a virus, once active, merely infects files which then must be transferred to another computer from the original infected computer manually by the user.
The difference in a virus and worm is the method of propagation, not execution.
Movie pirates watch grainy hand-held movies with babies crying and people coughing and walking in front of the screen while enjoying the recorded-in-a-coffee-can audio. I think 960x540 would be a step up for most of them.
Just another fine example of how honest paying customers get screwed over while those that break the law get a better deal.
What we need to do is let Microsoft bundle whatever they want with Windows as long as any other 3rd party can provide an alternative for anything deemed not part of the operating system.
The problem being, there is no bright-line between an operating system and its applications. What do we consider to be strictly part of an OS? The kernel? A file system? A window manager?
As it stands just about anything can be replaced in Windows, even the shell. I don't see the problem other than most people are too lazy to look for alternatives when Windows has everything bundled together. I don't see that as a big deal. Sure Windows has its problems but is crippling it really the way we want to win the FOSS battle? If something is good, eventually people will find it and use it. It may take longer but it will happen eventually.
I despise IE but I got over it and downloaded Firefox. It's not even allowed to run thanks to ProcessGuard. Same for WMP, I downloaded VideoLAN instead. Anyone else is free to do the same. The only real abuse of a monopoly is when it's used to shut out 3rd parties. Not when they don't get a bigger slice of the pie because someone has such a huge lead and the home field advantage.
Science can't tell you if it's right or wrong to kill a guy for instance.
Sure it can. Killing someone goes against their nature, which is to live. Obviously that's "wrong". However, morals are only a personal choice of preference.
There are no absolute right or wrongs, only some things that we widely agree on and some things that we don't.
In a society we make agreements aka laws. I agree not to kill you if you agree not to kill me. Some of us don't agree and that's when problems occur.
Anything that can be accomplished with religion can also be accomplished without religion. Just because science fails at some things doesn't mean it's hopeless. It just means we need more research.

It's not intrinsically sexual, any more than, say, marriage, which is seen as a perfect topic for family-friendly stuff.
Being heterosexual or homosexual implies some sort of sex, which is more than I can say for marriage...

thanks for the top? proof that even you can't stand to read the bullshit you post
Honestly, RTFM poster.
What manual? Did I wander into a Linux IRC help channel?
Many of them lack the skills required to do this. Most botnet operators don't make their own bots. The ones that do are the ones you'll never hear about.
Yea it would suck if you had to learn how to properly secure your computer.
I have this wonderful program call ProcessGuard that can prevent any non-authorized application from being executed and you can require a password to modify the settings. It doesn't matter if you run as admin or not.

See my previous post for an explanation on that...

Thanks for having the balls to say that.

is that what we are calling script kiddies these days?
Tor has so much more going for it.
Open source.
Allows hidden services.
Supports any protocol using TCP/IP.
Perfect forward secrecy.
And lots of other stuff that I won't even go on about. A one hop proxy is just a bad idea for being anonymous. Tor is a much better answer.
If you've never heard of Tor then go read up on it at Wikipedia.
...thanks for ruining the mouse and keyboard for me!
