Truecrypt has an option to hide an encrypted volume within the random-ish data of another. You have a different password for each, and they suggest leaving sensitive-looking stuff in the outer one. See, I showed you what was there, can I go home now?
The bigger threats here might be more related to crossover cases, either on the device or the worm itself.
The recent Linux/Windows proof of concept is an example of the latter, though in its infancy. For the former though, there is at least one case where a Windows glitch can be exploited in both PCs and mobile devices. SANS story While not common yet, the power of available devices will grow, and costs will decrease.
Of course, reasonable policies can help in general; start with trusting nothing, and then make exceptions as needed. The IT folks where I work do have wireless access points set up in the office, but with all available security enabled. Even then, those users are still firewalled off from most of the network.
That said, I must say I like my little Palm Treo 650, though I haven't been tempted by Bluetooth yet.
SANS has a wealth of in-depth courses, taught by experts in the field. They aren't inexpensive, but these aren't courses you will find at your local community college either. Some are taught on-line, in their "SANS@home" programs, where you have books, a CD of test data (in my case), and the Java client gives you an interactive environment with slides and audio.
On the other hand, my ISP (Manitoba Telecom) just announced that they're holding non-binary content for much longer than before. Usenet is full of seedy content, primarily if you go to the groups created for spreading seedy content. Caveat emptor, and all that.
Just one thing... Moho isn't quite free, but pretty close. The demo version watermarks the output and renders Flash as gray-scale, but the full version is $100 US. Considering the features, it's still cheap cheap cheap.
Moho is a vector-based program from Lost Marble, and runs on Linux as well as Mac and Windows. It can output Flash as well I think, but wasn't restricted to Flash output either.
It doesn't hurt that it already used a multi-platform interface, OpenGL. In any case, it is a multi-OS flight sim with Mac, Windows, and more recently, Linux ports. I seem to recall that the latter was helped by one or a few volunteers.
What's wrong with the Berkeley DB? It isn't supposed to do everything you might use an SQL database for, but is arguably much better at some tasks than the SQL database people might think to use first.
Hey, there are lots of us (well, Oakbank, but work in the 'Peg).
Anyway, the standard of living is pretty good, prices are reasonable, and you're at least halfway to anywhere else on this continent. We might joke about the open space, but it attracted my neighbours here from the UK. They're pleased with the move a year later. As someone else noted, there are plenty of one/two man shops, which fits the original poster; apparently you can do OK at it.
Sure, there is plenty of dust. Once the astronauts are done stirring it up though, it's just going to sit there. No atmosphere means nothing to carry it around, no weather etc.
OK.. just kidding. But really, there's no air to carry the dust either, so I can't imagine that anything short of a near-miss meteor is going to spread much around.
Actually... while I've never been there, my understanding was that Israeli citizens have more legal access to firepower than Americans. Perhaps that has changed, so someone please correct me if wrong.
Another things though, is that bombers there have a willingness to die for their cause, which is hard to defend against. A full rifle rack is useless against someone who is willing to be a human bomb.
If they cover guerilla warfare, then perhaps one of their own books should be on the list as well. "Afghan Guerilla Warfare" was put together by US Army officers who interviewed a large number of Afghans about their war against the Soviets.
It is broken down into individual case studies, grouped by type of operation (ambush, etc.)
The fact that they are now fighting against guerillas now, including Afghanistan, should make it required reading at pretty much all levels.
On a side note, I can say that you get very funny looks reading it on a plane trip.:)
While certainly not a student project, there is a Canadian company in Stonewall, MB., which sells commercial UAV autopilots and a complete, small "trainer" UAV. They don't have the whiz-bang Microsoft technology demo, but the control module is only 28 grams, and is used In Real Life.
Anonymous inner classes are helpful, but only by comparison to the usual class-crazy nonsense that Java flings at you. Check out what you can do with closures (i.e. in Common Lisp), where you can create a nice little nugget of behavior, without having to create yet another nuisance class and its associated file.
Lisp macros are pretty wild too, since the language itself is available to do the magic. Compare to simple text substitution, and only the name is really similar.
Heh. My point was not really that Fortran is the best choice for most people, but that slagging Lisp features in Python makes no sense. Other languages are working hard at adding those features... usually poorly. Python gets closer than most.
Those Lispy features are a powerful addition, which make it easier for a programmer to get their job done. If you would rather trade those features for performance, consider Fortran instead.
It would be more useful if, rather than focus on the leverage of a single-platform solution, the implementors can approach the performance of various Common Lisp implementations. It is true that dynamic languages don't have to be slow; neither do they have to rely on Microsoft's runtime.
Good idea, but just to make sure you get it all, you should mirror the contents. "wget -m" should do the trick, and when the site does get hosed, you'll already have a mirror to share with/. readers!

Unlike your own president, we're not inspecting your post, just pocket lint.

Looks neat, but nothing beyond contact info for the author. News of release plans or something might be a nice teaser.

because they can't yet toast 80K Linux desktops the way they managed with Windows in the UK pensions department.

It's easy, they just blow it off once in a while.

Ah, IC. I sit corrected, thanks.
Interesting points, but perhaps the evidence is obvious because the cheaters in the Ukraine are used to a heavy-handed lack of sublety.
Perhaps it's just more refined in the U.S.?
Imagine the pizza *that* could make.

The answer is simple, really. They don't want to hit anything! *duck*
