Wrong. Go read like you should have the first time around.
Show you are better than your recent posting history of stupid shit all over slashdot... List those features that make this product so wonderful..
Fail. Heh. When you figure out why I'm saying this, you'll feel dumb.
Even better, give up on this pathetic "yes it is, no it isn't" game...
It's too hard to use a question mark, isn't it? This whole time all you had to do was say "Oh? What do you mean?" and you'd have been the richer for it. Either you'd learn something new or you'd have validation that you're correct. Now you're just frustrated and you're blaming me for it. It's comical, really.
Closer would be placing your money in a bank, then later finding out - after the bank has been robbed and your money stolen - that their vault door was just painted onto a bit of plywood leant against the wall.
Ah, the astroturfing MS fanbois are at it again....
You can tell we're in for an intelligent discussion already.
How comes Apache doesn't have four times more exploits than IIS despite having four times the market share?
Did you ever stop and think about why people mess around with these exploits to begin with? Have you been paying attention to the news lately?
Sadly/. has become infested by high-level UID that keep on hating on OS X and Linux and it's really pathetic to see you MS astroturfing fanbois getting upvoted.
Are you done acting like you're the voice of reason alone in a sea of bias?
And I suggest you either try DropBox or ask somebody who has used it to get more understanding of my point. I also suggest you re-read what I already said so you understand the point I'm making instead of arguing against the one I'm not.
Right, but that's not what I'm asking. I'll be more specific: Is using WinRar with a 8+ character password reasonably secure or does it have another vulnerability that weakens it? This article suggests that it's pretty darned secure. BUT... this is a benchmark article, not a strength of security exercise.
I've been told before that WinRar's encryption wasn't much to crow about, but this article says it's 128-AES. So.. which is it? Is it fairly secure (provided it is used properly...) or does it still have a major weakness that makes it easy to get into?
What the hell are you talking about? Geeks lack some social skills but compensate for knowing interesting/fun ways to use gadgets. Nerds have no social skills even when pressing their noses against computers.
In the social ladder Geeks > Nerds. You're thinking of spazzes.
20 years down the road, if the members of LulzSec were to have their bank/credit card/mortgage/investment accounts compromised, would they still find it lulzy?
Given all the media attention this sort of hacking has gotten, would it be as likely to happen?

How long would you be willing to let that escalate? Humans are a mighty creative bunch when it comes to getting into places they shouldn't.
You have no point...

Ok... the robber is still a criminal.

How many bugs are there in commercial software that we don't know?
Heh.
Monday:
"Really old bug finally patched in some popular Microsoft software!"
This shows how terrible proprietary software is!
Tuesday:
"Really old bug finally patched in some popular OSS!"
This shows how terrible proprietary software is!
true but its easier to pick up arbitrary sound waves than it is radio waves.
Heh. No it's not.
"Um, excuse me, get that microphone out of my face."
Read the summary again.

This story is pretty awesome. I wish we had more of these and fewer smartphone OS dead-horse-beating marathons.
This story has over 250 comments. Slashdot will not listen.
Why are you coming to Slashdot to get a demo of what 'humanity' can come up with? You must be angry every day.
Geeks have severe acne. Nerds don't.
Are you serious?
Some of us still consider geek and nerd to be insulting regardless of the context.
Oh boo hoo. Geek isn't an insult anymore and PC means Windows. Welcome to life after the year 2000.
What the hell are you talking about? Geeks lack some social skills but compensate for knowing interesting/fun ways to use gadgets. Nerds have no social skills even when pressing their noses against computers.

Fortunately they only took out themselves in a single-vehicle crash and didn't kill any other innocent motorists.
I definitely agree with this.
No, it's not.
Anyone here who find that 'quadrillion' is more descriptive than peta? (or 1e15, for that matter?).
I would lean towards "brazillian!"
Speaking of accusations of trolling... how exactly did your post get modded up +1?
How am I supposed to know who the hell he was?
Futurama. Duh.
Do you have any VHS tapes out in the open around your place?
A lot of consoles sold because people wanted to play games that way. Revolutionary. Sorry, Sony and Microsoft declared that for you.
I'm gonna write me a new minivan!
