Amen. I am all for holding elected or uniformed leaders to a higher standard than everyman.
The irony is this cuts both ways. I consider Wikileaks and their kind of service absolutely essential to maintaining our freedoms. Yet, if young Manning really did give away that secret data he was untrusted with, I would advocate a very serious penalty for him.
I said "electronic jewelry store" and admittedly, I could have been more clear.
Comparing security of your physical home, which is pretty difficult to rob and capitalize on, to electronic security of your PC is not a valid comparison. The reason is you (like everyone up to a few years ago) are only considering threats to perimeter security.
The real vulnerability is the application -- malicious data traveling over your trusted, specifically allowed (e.g. http/ssl) connection can cause you trouble and embarrassment like transferring your money, disclosing your secrets, placing a cache of illegal files on your computer, or sending messages on your behalf.
Application security. Using websites whose authors forgot to check for control characters in input data, coupled with running software whose authors failed to check buffer lengths (or other oversights), exposes you to methods of carrying out such attacks.
The critical difference between your PC and a brick/mortar store is the economy of scale the attackers can leverage. It is a shitload of work to break into a store, execute a getaway, fence the goods, keep compadres silent. With one decent attack design, electronic attackers can compromise millions of individuals' resources. And firewalls do not protect against this; the attack data travels over allowed channels.
If you have on your computer:
- access to online banking;
- personal information;
- spare CPU to do somebody else's processing;
- spare bandwidth to store or handle someone else's illegal data;
- company confidential information;
- etc...... you are an electronic jewelry store.
There's a Russian mining colony just 40-50 km away called Barentsburg. They have a Russian cell tower and everything, it totally screwed up the location indicated on the Google Maps app on my phone:-)
If you're going to disagree with me, at least say something intelligent. And address the things I actually said: 1. They innovated in using Java for websites. Remember Java, those applets for NCs? 2. They did it before JSP became widely usable.
The Romans didn't invent (or even understand) arches, but they innovated a lot of aquaducts into existence nonetheless.
ATG were major innovators in using Java to power web applications. They created their weird droplet things long before J2EE and servlets, JSP etc became widely usable. It doesn't surprise me a bit that they have patents for web based technologies that seem simple/commonplace to us now.
It's the speed at which the atmospheric molecules form supersonic patterns around the aircraft instead of subsonic ones. That is, the craft is traveling faster than the propagation speed of the "almost no air".

Telnet runs suid root, so if it has any exploitable buffer overflows, they could allow remote root access.
He's not talking about MS Windows systems. He's describing the effects of poor Unix administration skills.
Dude, it's just a switch on the dashboard. The pilots forgot to set it back...
Travel to Cuba is restricted for a different reason. Do I get a whoosh now?

Example please?
Awesome, thanks.

You're such an ass, I'm going to actually try to find the posting/URL you're talking about. I'll report back here.

Oh, Barentsburg is south, but you can't see it from Longyearbyen. It's around the corner...

Why not silicon? That would be cool.
