Let's also not overlook that while some stores/merchants may have a policy to ask for address when doing Cardless Transactions, the processing houses (at least the ones I've used) will more than happily process the transaction successfully without anything more than the card number and the expiration date.
Some processors will refuse to process transactions within the month that the card expires, but you simply add 4 years to the date and it'll go through just fine.
The Credit Card companies have pushed very hard and very long to make credit transactions more painless than cash. You have to drop some safeguards to do that though.
Don't forget that Steganography is 20 years old, it's never become the future so far.
I wish I could find the article, but it was some years ago I read it, some of the more advanced Steganalysis techniques are really quite good at detecting Steg files... not decrypting them, mind you, but detecting them. There were some interesting claims in the article about being able to batch inspect files from websites like ebay and flickr with some startlingly high percentages of Stegged files.
So in practice, it may not be any better than PGP/GPG since it may not be any more convert. It may also be tougher to maintain since I would think most people would eventually be reusing images which would be a dead giveaway if they are being monitored. Couple that with the hassle of encrypting the data before stegging it, and the overall vetting of PGP/GPG alternatives, Steg doesn't seem like a very valuable solution to me.
YOU also have a choice, but please, continue to justify it for us.
Steal it if you want to, don't steal it if you don't want to, but please don't expect us to believe that you're being forced to download music at gunpoint.
If the whole point of the system is to establish a chain of trust from the bootloader to poweroff, what exactly do you propose the system do when the chain is broken?
If you're not smart enough to think all the way through the scenario of drive encryption or the TCP, maybe you're better off just leaving it the way Dell sent it to you.
Yeah, and I can understand why you felt that way about them.
I never claimed to be a critic, I just know what I like, and I tend to like more movies than not. Doesn't mean I'm more right or wrong than you are. All any of us can do is watch a film, and as you said, YMMV.
When you stack up the whole list of things it could have been, for me, Pan's was just a 2 hour movie about a psycho in Franco's army with 15 minutes of fantasy footage. The trailers showed the creatures, the girl and the maze. The movie didn't show much more of them, relatively speaking. The movie showed the camp.
While I have no desire to rewatch it (at all, and I still have the dvd) it may have just been the overwhelming feeling of "this isn't what you sold me on" that ruined it for me.
Why does my indication that a movie is crap say anything about American Consumers, or my tastes, or anything else?
Brazil was a good movie. So was El Orphanto. So was the Dutch film about De Nachtwacht. So was the movie from Chile that I can't remember the name of about the guys building a rocket and mistaken for terrorists, some play on "Chile Can" as I recall. So was There Will be Blood and No Country For Old Men and a million others made in the last couple of years. What's your point? Pan's Labyrinth wasn't one of them.
Del Toro made a crappy movie. Get over it. It won Oscars for Art Direction, Cinematography, and Makeup. Wow, makeup./You/ may live in a shallow Hollywood World, but in fact I recommend/you/ try to watch some/good/ movies.
While we're OT, I have to say I thought Pan's Labyrinth was a horrible movie.
Maybe if Pan had actually been in it, or the Labyrinth had been shown, then it might have mitigated some of the bland story, the rubber frog, or stupidly gratuitous violence.
Seriously. It was billed as a fairytale, and it wasn't.
Admittedly, the "Hands" monster scene was pretty awesome though.
The only thing that frightens me is that they describe the game as "highly cooperative."
That's what killed Diablo II for most of the legit players. If you were lucky, maybe as many as 2 people you knew in real life were also players, so you were left to play with strangers and 9 year-olds on Battle.Net. The 1.10 patch made the game no longer possible to finish by yourself.
It's tough to assemble a party of reasonable size from cheaters and griefers and beggars, let alone the guy with the hacked gear who drops in, kills Diablo, Pindleskin, Mephisto, then Baal, and then drops right back out while you're still in the middle of Act 1.
Co-Op is great, but please don't force those of us who enjoy playing the game to rely on the children who can't afford the $15 a month for WoW.

Poorly animated with stilted dialog is the way I'd also describe Keanu Reeves.

All I can picture is the shuttle coming in for landing with her purse sitting on the roof where she put it while loading the toolbox into the trunk.
While not OSS, Threatfire and FireWall Plus from PCTools are both free for personal use.
AVG generates too many false positives, and has a really lame (sorry but it is) alert graphic and noise.
ClamAV works well provided you don't want the real-time monitoring, which is why I only use it as a portable app for disinfecting.
Avast is also a good choice if not anything special.
Can you send me a new keyboard too?

Dammit.
I was going to say exactly the same thing, only I would have probably guessed where I think he pulled them out of.
Good show.
Just because it's not a real word doesn't mean it's not spelled right.

Think "King's Bay."

Now that they have the body, they need to charge him with obstruction of justice and anything else that could conceivably apply.

Thousands?
Last I heard it was three. Two of which are forbidden to publish in scientific journals due to long histories of distortion and bias.
I'd find the citations, but it's Friday afternoon, you won't read them, and I have better things to do
At least Crichton cites the dozens of papers he read to draw his conclusions so that interested readers can do the same.

It was accidentally introduced in 2006... so that's what, another 14 years before it gets moved into 'stable'?
