I have the distinct impression that he is getting at using a word that makes people think "hangon, maybe I should change this" rather than just going "oh my wireless works now". We're still going to have issues with codes generated on phone numbers or serials or whatever, but making it a little more obvious to the end user that what they are connecting to is available to anyone should help (hahahahaha)
Either the Drop Bears or the Bunyips.
Clearly not a wombat, whose only super skill is being such a solid bastard that he can rip the underside out of a 4WD if you hit one at anything more than 20.
I used to think this of my (far) younger sister, until the day she did a "you idiot ripley" on me around about the time she was 2 and a half - I picked up her doll and attributed an act to it, at which point I was told not to be stupid as it is only a toy. But until the time she was 8 or 9, she would still treat that doll as alive.
Perhaps your kids are smarter than you are giving them credit for?
This was explained to me once, so I feel the urge to pass on the (mis)information.
Your average crypto geek has a job, generally they teach in a university or write books or blogs. What they don't do is troll around job sites looking for "Cryptographic Developer needed to design new standard" jobs. It would be boring etc. What they do do is sit around their office on a quiet friday afternoon and pick apart current cryptographic standards, looking for flaws and such just like this. It takes a pretty special kind of person to read and understand the standards (no I am not one of them), but you can't ask them to drop everything and do it.
At a guess, I'd say that (or a variant of that) is why cryptography developers are so apparently rare.
So... "Don't filter me bro... except you can filter him because he's not doing something I like"? Seems kind of stupid to want to have full and complete access to your 65536/tcp ports to do with as you wish, but if someone happens to be running a botnet (intentionally or not), you're ok with having them filtered.
This is pretty much the entire reason these debates come up... one rule for you, one rule for the rest of us.
Probably not but everyone would be up in arms if I didn't know who founded the Linux kernel and I would be required to turn in my geek credentials. Which is much the same thing for us algorithm monkeys when somebody claims to be a programmer and doesn't know (or care) who Knuth is. It's about respect for your field, and credit to the people who came up with the major advances.
The fundamental problem with your post is self-evident: "My Computer". If you were to use a Mac most of the updates etc. are done for you. iTunes automatically opens when you plug in your device, and after the initial setup syncing and updates are mostly automatic. Even "compiling" your library is dead simple, and things like the (piece-of-crap) genius playlists make it easier to find the music you prefer and all your podcasts are automatically downloaded and synced.
This is why Apple make it in the consumer market - the whole concept of "buy only our products" works - we see Microsoft and Linux fanboys going their respective routes as well (OpenMoko, Linux, Linksys Routers etc.) because they want it all to be the same. When that concept works and the software actually integrates nicely with the hardware (something that only apple, as a hardware company, are currently able to achieve because they write the software for their own hardware), the average consumer tends to enjoy. Now if only they had a decent server, I'd think about getting one.
Side note: Find me an easier to deploy and use solution than NetBoot/NetInstall (with DeployStudio) and I'll stop using a 27" iMac for my Windows 7-only gaming rig. That ability to image a machine on the spot with Target Disk or NetBoot is the major selling point for me.
Or you happen to be wearing a uniform. Or, if you're here and follow Australian Rules Football, if you're famous. We don't question the footy clubs suspending players because they went for a binge session, but if - god forbid - it happens to a "regular" person the entire world is up in arms about it. I've seen CTO's fired for cracking in their off hours, Managers for telling it like it is to their superiors when they happen to run into each other at the pub, but as soon as it's the average jo(sephine)...
I'd like to just step in here and point out that the security model means shit to a virus writer - so what I can't get root on your desktop, I can still encrypt your entire home directory and delete everything I have access to with just a simple program. The whole push for administration rights is only necessary when you need to hide the software, but if all these linux users aren't running AV, then what's the point of trying to hide yourself before you can get your root privileges. Someone, somewhere, will run a sudo command eventually...
If you had to argue the point out with most router admin teams, I would guess that your main argument comes down to IPv6 is so hard to remember. Ok, so let's make it easier and build on IPv4 - rather than 255.255.255.255 let's add another octet: 255.255.255.255.255 - it's not going to be that much harder to remember, and it increases the address space quite a bit, hell go wild and add another two rather than just one. It has been an eternal hatred of mine that representation of IPv6 looks more like a MAC than anything else - I don't know why they didn't just fix it properly in the first place to make it more human readable. I mean, if you're going to talk about design flaws at conception...
Of course this is all just IMHO and may be significantly flawed. Just sayin' is all.
Trying to nail the liberal party down on a will-we-wont-we question is nearly damned impossible. They're falling back to the bullshit "we need to think of the children" line a lot, which to me sounds like a we-will line. Whatever happens we're going to get ass fucked by our latest batch of dumbass politicians.
2.1? We moved to 2.2 AGES ago. Having the barbed wire lacing the catheter was really an ingenious marketing department idea, and is amazingly therapeutic to the helldesk staff.
I'm trying to figure out why we don't see more of it on the standard bullshit news shows.
And then I realised where all the funding and authorisation comes from. I just find it... disturbing... that we are all of a sudden getting massive spin coverage on the facebook trolls over death-pages. Again, until I realise that it's the perfect reason to "censor" the internet.
So long as it's FreeBSD 8 and not 7, a properly tuned and setup ZFS install is a breeze to put together. It took me maybe 20 minutes to kernel tune mine (i386 chipset and less than the recommended RAM in it at the time) and it's got good stability on a 1.7TB raidz unit. YMMV, but I wouldn't stick 7 back on another box again. I've no comment on FUSE.
* File Locked rather than writeable by administrator for upgrade purposes.
* Ring 1 or higher code being able to write to Ring 0 locations.
* Administrative users necessary to run most things (MS software or otherwise).
* Proprietary networking.
* Lack of regression testing (LAND should just never have happened).
There's 5, who wants to take up the mantle from there.
I'm wondering if this means we can reverse-lookup telephone numbers again (The Gray Pages or something to that effect)? We haven't been able to do that for a few years now but if someone wants to suck all the information in and distribute a DVD...
Actually the only thing I see is people complaining that "They're not in business so why should we have them". I can cite multi-floor buildings stuffed with lawyers that run exclusively on os x systems. The same for 5,000+ strong schools. The remote management tools (ARD, DeployStudio, SSH) are more than powerful enough for what the staff want and need and can be used to lock down a machine if necessary. Policy dictates that the whole "your machine must be locked down tighter than a cows arse at fly time" is no longer necessary, so it isn't put in like that - even in the law firms.
There are some things that are not enterprise ready - I would like to see a more robust printing system and their group policy replacement (Managed Preferences) could be fleshed out a bit more - but the idea that the tools are very limited is indicative of either a lack of training, or the Apple Tech you have needs to be re-trained severely.
Most importantly for me - will this call back fail closed if I just put a DROP rule in my router for my Windows machines going to the net. Pirated or not I don't need someone trying that shit with my systems.
A larger gas tank costs almost nothing. The infrastructure is already in place for bio-diesel and ethanol and most cars can be converted. Electric cars will fill a niche, and that is all.
Grazing costs almost nothing. The infrastructure is already in place for pasture and oats, and most horses can pull a cart just fine. The aw-toe-mo-beel will fill a nice, and that is all.
Sometimes, for no reason at all (!!), some things just become huge. The car was reliant on reliable and obtainable fuel, and roads, and the world dealt with them just fine - I don't see why, when the option becomes viable and enough of the group-think follows it, electric cars will not follow the way of their predecessors.
I've been unrecognised by at least 3 family members and a bunch of school friends in this particular city for the last two years - AND I go to work each day, and it's a public facing job etc.

A default password of "freewifi" then.

No, *real* men write their emulators by arranging grains of sand into brainfuck on the beach.

Of course if you gas the guy and dispose of the body appropriately, you don't have to worry about that sort of "legal" thing ;)

Yeah! At least this time when robot-lars-ulrich plays the music will have a beat that is in-time. I love seeing live concerts!

Now imagine a small shell script...
Oh I like that idea. But I bet they won't let you submit anything to do with their secret "whitelist" that complements the semi-public blacklist.
Actually I was giving criticisms of the literal "NT" kernel. But thanks for being here in the future team.
