I wanted to patch my DVR through my 27" iMac to have TV available in that room. The block outputs made it kinda useless. If the firewire port wasn't blocked it should have been trivial. So instead I have the DVR in my bedroom and I bought a $150 tuner for the iMac. I can still record TV with the tuner software but as yet I don't have guide information available so that I can scan ahead and choose what to record.
So ya blocking ports on $600 DVR's prevents copying so people have to buy $150 tuners instead. Sense making it is not.
Your right in the sense that if you don't speak python you will have trouble with half the value from this site. Half the value is that you can walk through the attacks and understand how they work which has nothing to do with the app source code.
The other half of the value is being able to walk through the source and see where the programmer could have plugged some holes. I suspect anyone taking the time to use this site will be able to muddle through. And of course everything google does starts in python then later they maybe add java. I would love to use app engine but I am not strong enough in java yet. (do they even support java on app engie?)
OK So lets consider the two major attack types: Cross site scripting (XSS) and sql injection SQLi.
If I am launching a XSS attack against your website I don;t really care what language its scripted in do I? I just try to defeat what ever process your using to sanitize my text.
For a SQL injection attack I would think the database engine is more important to know than the script that is passing the crappy dynamic sql to it.
I am not much of a hacker, I just try to defend my sites the best I can. In all my research very little is language specific.
I am sorry are you saying that if we act on Climate Change it might slow the river of plastic crap from China from reaching the US? And this upsets you?
Also, you might want to spend a bit of time thinking about what this thing called "the economy" is and how it works. If we are spending our time and resources building windmills instead of oil rigs is that better or worse for the economy?
"might very well have some part of responsibility"
Ya that's right and of course transoceans hired a bunch of guys to do the actual work, many of whom where probably under contract rather then salary. So if we dig down far enough we can all blame some guy named at the bottom of the pile who forgot to turn a bolt one more time for good measure.
BP owns ALL of the responsibility. Now if they later want to sue transocean that is their perogative but only after they have paid for the entire mess.
This was rated 4 interesting? Since when have many-to-many relationship been overlooked or difficult in databases? Granted I find change the brakes on my Sabaru dificult but thats because I am not a mechanic. However many-to-many relationships are trivially easy but I guess thats because I am a DBA. So please don't confuse the fact that you don't know something with that thing being difficult.
Any AV software worth anything is hard to remove BY VIRUSES. For humans its only as hard as visiting the vendors site and downloading the removal program.
Serioulsy I also used to get irate that I couldn't just click uninstall and have it vanish, but probably due to some underlying OS issues, that also makes it easy for the bad guys to remove it. Once you get used to downloading the removal tool it is very easy to remove Symantec, which is something I do on a regular basis.
Except for the 60% or more of us that are contractors in which case we may bill by the hour but are paid for results. Which begs an interesting question for slashdotters: Do the hours you bill for bear any resembelence to the hours you actualy worked?
The church, and churchies, have long argued that without a common morality enforced through threat to your immortal soul, we would all be serial killing cannibals. Fortunetly we have discovered that we are hard wired for empathy.
It seems to me that it would be reasonably trivial to develop a distributed social network. While it may not have some of the good features that FB has at least it won't have any of the bad ones.
If someone smarter then me doesn't hurry up and develop one you all will have to deal with whatever mediocre product I come up with.
Hate to be nit-picky but I believe the text says "endowed by their Creator" not "The Creator". "Their creator" does not automatically presume a deity of any kind. For example my creators were named George and Judy.
And to pick up where you left off, there is nothing stopping you and a few million of your friends from electing representatives who will then decide that there may be a better way to provision health insurance.
IMHO you Americans didn't go anywhere near far enough with these reforms. You should have opt-ed for a single payer system like here in Canada. If you want the straight dope about health care in Canada, talk to an average Canadian. We all get a laugh up here when we hear your media (or politicians) describe our health care system. They either willfully lie or are extremely ignorant. We have universal coverage, better outcomes, and pay significantly less per-capita then USA.
Anyway, Congrats on what little improvement you have been able to make.
The reasons for this seem pretty obvious to me. With that kind of education he will never work in a Texas factory for $2/hour. Your immigration system seems designed to supply a flexible number of underclass people to exploit.
Of course what do I know, I am Canadian and all the illegals I know are Americans.
In terms of mail does the law make a distinction between enveloped mail and postcards? Would email be considered a postcard? Short of encryption could an envelope analog for email be developed? (Something that indicated it had been opened).
Oh you want to drive that car on the highway and city streets? Sorry that will cost more.
Are you going to fry that chicken or bake it?
Are you going to wear that shirt to work and to social occasions?
Are you going to watch your cable vision while sitting on a chair or a couch? and btw, how big is your TV because you might have to pay the widescreen surcharge.
There is no justification except gauging. Is that Nader fellow still around? Does he have a replacement yet? Who stands up for consumers these days?

Sounds like as good a definition of "hasty" as any.
Sorry but all property is created by the state (by rule of law actualy). Without rule of law there is no property only possessions.
Watched it. Done. It sucked. It beyond sucked. It's was an un-enjoyable 2 hour ad for a video game that I will never play.
And like regulated monopolies they have to apply to a commision for permission to raise rates.

There are other pen test websites like this. You can download hacme bank its in vb.net I think. http://www.foundstone.com/us/resources/proddesc/hacmebank.htm

Perhaps the point is that it is not the tool it is how it is used that counts.

Failure to display timestamps on mod point assignments does not denote a failure of my fact checking team. I keep them well fed and trained.

I think the issue that that Apple forbids flash whereas flash support for Android has just not yet been developed.

Somebody tell those tax cheats to get off the roads they are not paying for. And they can get off my lawn while they are at it!

Without government to enforce contracts there are no markets so sure you are allowed to believe in both capitalism and government.
I know Americans tend to love Reagan but he really screwed you over with the whole government is the problem crap.
