Japan has had this pretty widely available for years. And it hasn't been used for pedophilia as far as I have heard, unlike say cell phone cameras, which now all make an unmutable sound when you take a picture.
The reason? Silent cell phone cameras are great for taking upskirt pictures on crowded trains, and the internet exploded with upskirts soon after cell cameras became popular here.
Don't you see! Japan doesn't have rednecks! So they invent all this great technology, then they send it over here, and some guy in Kentucky realizes "Hey, I could use this to have sex with 6 year olds!" and ruins it for everyone.
Tomorrow's headline: Microsoft demands that Apple buy a Windows XP Pro license for every intel mac they sell, since people *might* try to slap a copy of windows on there! And they have to stick that ugly ass sticker right on the front of the machine.
Heh, are you serious? 4-5 of the most productive years of your life "lost" to education? College is the only reason I was productive at ALL in my late teens/early twenties... if not for the university I would have sat on a couch playing video games til I was 25.
What did she expect, they're going to pay to send her to law school so they can pay her to extort other pirates? I'm all for piracy, but she knew the risks of her activities and she chose to continue anyways. What's next, filesharers sueing the RIAA? "You made me drop out of college man, I want compensation!"
I thought the same thing, but they talked to developers not end users. Surely linux has not become so simple that even the guy building the product doesn't know he's using it!
"Detection is difficult, and remediation is often impossible," Danseglio declared. "If it doesn't crash your system or cause your system to freeze, how do you know it's there? The answer is you just don't know."
So if I'm understanding him correctly, malware is unremoveable, undetectable, and the best approach to take if you have malware is to re-image the affected machine... the only conclusion is that in order to be safe you must keep your windows box unformatted, unconnected, and always, always in the "off" position.
companies like his screen candidates carefully. They have to be gainfully employed in the security field and must sign waivers saying they won't use these tricks for ill. Or, they could be a reporter who just wants to write a cool story and maybe detail a few of the hacks that "an English major who hasn't written a line of code since third grade" can do. You know, just in case some of his readers can't afford the class, but really want to be ethical hackers. It's all cool.
"a classroom full of middle-aged high-tech system administrators."
If they get their company to send them to hacking school for a day, they have more free time for pr0n in the evenings! Brilliant.
Doesn't that add the song to the "On-The-Go Playlist?" Not that it really hurts anything, I just have an unexplained hatred for that on-the-go playlist.
But you have to realize that headphones aren't the only use of the iPod! I use mine on various sets of speakers/fm transmitters a LOT more than I use headphones. And well the point is, I like dynamics!
There is only one time when I'm stupid enough to blast my ears with my earbuds: I listen to my iPod in my car, and for the iTrip to output without too much staticy background noise, the best thing to do is turn the volume way up on the iPod. So then when I go to listen with my earbuds later, I forget the volume is turned way up, and KABLAMMO! The volume limiter wouldn't save me here, and hiding the volume controls away somewhere would only make my situation worse as I couldn't immediately rub the clickwheel to turn it down! I think it would be neat if they could maximize the output on the earbuds themselves, thereby making it impossible for me to injure myself by my own stupidity while still maintaining the functionality I need.
Didn't the guy in Swordfish have some sort of crazy visual coding system? I seem to recall his worm showing up as a big sphere on his dozen-monitor computer (damn you hugh jackman, you're years ahead of us!)
This study only applies if you have randomly selected people emailing you a 50-50 mix of serious and sarcastic messages! If I'm getting an email from someone I know, I'd think my chances are a little better of knowing if they're sarcastic or not. And if I'm getting a message from someone I don't know, I (seriously) hope there's not a 50% chance that it's loaded with sarcasm, cause that would be bad for business...
I'd email the researchers and tell them of my skepticism in their research skills, but they'd probably somehow interperit it as a death threat, and since they're studying email interperitation, use their expertise to get me arrested... wait is my tone too harsh? Who knows, damn text..
Absolutely. The price difference between cable and DSL in my area is somewhere around $35 a month. That's assuming you already have a basic cable tv subscription (I don't). So yeah, if verizon cuts off google, I'll have to find another search engine.
The US is already lagging behind other developed countries in terms of broadband access... and the telco companies want to limit us further? Dammit, when will people realize capitalism doesn't work!
So is windows exploits are worth $4,000 a pop, and Bill Gates is worth something like $50 billion, that adds up to... 12.5 million windows exploits. That number seems a little low, must be not all of them are worth 4 grand.
The thing about public services provided by the government is that you don't get a choice.. you pay your taxes, and the government maintains your roads. The only reason they don't do whatever the hell they want with their roads is because they don't want us tipping over their backhoes.
Come on now, you put some guy in a big machine designed to tear the ground up, lay underground cables all down the street, and then turn him loose? Of course he's going to cut the cables, these aren't IT professionals driving these backhoes, they can still watch blue collar comedy tour on the WB even if they take their own internet connection down. It's the backhoes' fault.

Yeah and most corporations are real impressed when you show them your Bachelor's from Podunk Community College!

Or run OS X.

Hmm, sounds familiar...
Ohhhh, my mistake. Thanks for the clarification!

Masturbating can cause you to go blind. I'm going to sue the porn industry.
Backhoes may not be able to climb, but they can still take down a telephone pole.
Damn, they have a lot of enemies.

Haha, that's brilliant! Strandings on desert islands, solved. On to the next problem!
