I feel that taxes are the only viable means we have of forcing businesses to internalize erstwhile external costs (like pollution).
Except that is not how we do it currently.
Currently if you're a polluter you get fined by the government, thus you have less incentive to pollute. This however does not work when the value of polluting is higher than the fine.
So I feel corporate income taxes are a necessary tool in addition to capital gains tax.
So let me get this straight, not only does the owner of the goats get to feed them for free but Google will actually pay them for the right to eat their grass?
You're aware that linux 2.6.3 has a group limit of 32 right? That's really not much better than 16, which can be changed by recompiling the kernel.

Ohh that's clever but BSD is much better in the server than linux is, i'd never use it as a desktop OS though (all the binary goodness in linux like the nvidia drivers)
Actually base64 and XOR is the obfuscation algorithm used for the configuration file. There is a separate encryption algorithm present that is entirely custom and which nobody has yet to break (although im guessing nobody has done a serious cryptanalysis either).
For that to be even remotely true I would have to be able to do exactly the same thing.
Something tells me that if I was to go and setup a domain to receive information stolen from home computers which I did not originally infect that it would still be a crime.
Just because the FBI is not going to go after them for it does not make it either legal or moral.
Unless they had a warrant for every single computer system they accessed it is still a crime. Just because the FBI did it does not make it illegal. You sound like Nixon.
Let me get this straight. They took over a botnet, which consists of computers they are unauthorized to access. Not only did they commit a felony but then they wrote a paper about it?
The reason that nobody else has done this before is not because they are incapable of doing it. The reason nobody has done this before is because it is illegal
Mod parent up. His post is 100% correct. In the United States if you refuse a Breathalyzer you will be administered a blood test (not that this can take several hours in which you may or may not sober up...).
Seriously how could you not expect someone who spent a huge amount of time and was making money off of his work to not do everything he could to continue making it?
Some experts are cautiously optimistic. A computer simulation of this outbreak released Wednesday by a team from Northwestern University projected a worst-case scenario, meaning no measures have been taken to combat the spread. It predicted a mere 1,700 cases in the United States four weeks from now.
The best known attack against WPA2 is a bruteforce attack. The basis of WPA2 in PSK mode is a 256 bit AES cipher. The key is based on both the password and the SSID (the SSID acts as a salt).
WPA2 with a good password is a perfect example of a truly secure protocol. If you started to crack my home wireless network you might finish around the time that the run is running out of fuel and certainly long after humanity has either evolved to something entirely unrecognizable or is extinct.

Yeah making Monsanto filthy rich by doing absolutely nothing.
The problem is nobody is talking about WHOSE revenue it is.
The Government should be working to increase the real GDP and not it's own revenue stream.
Remember that "for the people" part?

And I feel that you're talking out of your ass.
How is that any different?
Fine I'll get everybody on your block to vote that you are not making efficient use of your house.
That land will now be redistributed more efficiently.
There is effectively no difference between very high levels of taxation and a system of pure wealth redistribution.

Obviously you have not actually used 4.2.2. Simply put it fixes the vast majority of the complaints with the 4.2.x branch.
Actually base64 and XOR is the obfuscation algorithm used for the configuration file. There is a separate encryption algorithm present that is entirely custom and which nobody has yet to break (although im guessing nobody has done a serious cryptanalysis either).
Obviously you did not.

Um not what I meant. You falsify the screenshot reporting so that you can lookup the answers.
It is only a matter of time before someone reverses the network protocol they're working with and sends falsified data.
Never trust the client.
Yes I this is teaching the students exactly what the think the government should be doing and how much it respects the privacy of individuals.
You are aware that the Conficker worm spread over infected flash drives with autorun enabled right?

Well if half of the isle disagrees on every piece of legislation at least half of them are going to be right. Big surprise.
Seriously how could you not expect someone who spent a huge amount of time and was making money off of his work to not do everything he could to continue making it?
I'm sorry you were saying?

Right I was talking about the general case, in my first post I said that the last mile should be a utility.
Run a speed test before and during using a bluetooth mouse.
With the bluetooth mouse performance sucks. There is interference.
The internet connections for government servers are often very fast and ridiculously un-secure.
Often you'll find Chinese education institutions in public proxy lists.
And once better nobody in the west is ever going to see the logs from any of those servers, not come hell nor high water.
