it turns out that he is dumber than other cats, as *they* know how to open the screen door to our house, but our cat does not
*I'll* justify that one. what if I have broken no
laws, but someone doesn't like me for some reason
(political enemy, civil protestor, whatever)
then they might try to invade my privacy. I'm not sure if John Henry Faulk is well known (there's
a library named after him in my town) He had committed no crimes but was accused of being a communist during the Mcarthy era. He was eventually
abdicated but not after being blacklisted, etc. He did nothing wrong. So why were
people watching him then? Enquiring minds would like to know.
There's a difference between "morally wrong"(depends on person), "legally wrong"(depends on state), and "what someone else considers wrong"(depends who considers you a threat).
so should intel, who'se chips are clumps of silicon which
actually only cost a few bucks tops to make sell
their CPU's at cost and charge you for tech support?
it doesn't work that way all the time..
besides, what if I write a single app that is very specialized,
I don't have time to go off and write another web browser so that people
will use more of my software, and I'd rather spend time coding than doing tech support (if I'm making my money
telling users which icon to click on, I'm not spending my time coding, which I'd rather do and which is worth much more money anyway)
That does clear it up a bit.. the one remaining
option is to find someone running winblows (while
passive sniffing) crash their computer somehow
(buffer overflows in win filesharing work well)
then take their ip and mac addy, although that is
quite a bit less smooth and doesn't always work.
At my local college wireless network, the router
authenticates you with straight dhcp, but you must
enter a password for the router to accept your packets, so we sometimes crash a computer (since we're on the local network) and take their
addy's. if you couldn't even do dhcp, you'd have to forge the packets (not too hard since you could sniff the response) and know the gw/dns ip's as well (but you can get that by logging on legitimately and writing them down)
since everyone is going on about how they wanna
burn karma and how slashdot sucks:
mod this post down.

mr president, we have a crisis on our hands... these users are experementing with free software. Debian is known as a "gateway distribution", most of the useres will eventually move on to slackware and god knows what else...
and some use --v and --V and --version and -version... that part does annoy me a bit... last time I wanted to see what version of ssh I was using (it's ssh -V) caused a bit of confusion when I typed "ssh -v" (verbose)

3./bin is actually a symlink to/usr/bin, so technically it
doesn't put it under/bin
split hairs all you want, the comment was about starting scripts with #!/bin/bash, so technically in/bin or not, it will execute the script properly when you tell it that it is in/bin
intent does matter _to_a_degree_ if I shoot you because I hated you for years vs I shoot you because I was dumb enough to clean a loaded gun, the first it probably 1st degree murder while the second is manslaughter...
with gpg, I have a DSA/ElGamal keypair. If I sign something, the DSA key is used, if I encrypt something the ElGamal key is used, so even if they manage to read the message and break the crypto. That is of course if (big if) they can actually manage to figure out your key based on a signature, which I do not believe is possible.
because it adds nothing to the conversation to hear someone bitching that "this was posted before, so I don't care" yeah, I've seen the story before, but that doesn't mean it's not worth bringing up again (espescially if there have been new developments in the story)
what the fuck? people are going to fucking die. *Innocent* people are going to die and all you can think about is your goddamn wallet? I thought all of the "Nuke the middle east to hell" people were bad, but you are just fucking sick.

my grandma can't handle webtv much less win98...

R&D costs stuff. Once I write a program It costs
nothing to replicate but don't forget all the
hours I put into coding it...
