How can an operating system be so stupidly written that what should be a user application can bring down the entire thing? What is iTunes doing that needs to run at a privileged level?
Sometimes, even if you change http to https, the form still submits to plain http (though that isn't the case this time).
But if you want to be sure without having to wade through HTML, you can just set
security.warn_submit_insecure to true in Seamonkey/Firefox, which should be true by default if you haven't already turned it off.
I thought the whole point was to have an "authority" (like verisign etc) sign your certificate. So MitM can't just swap in their own cert because to change it would break the signature?
Unless the MITM can get his cert signed as well. Do you know all the authorities that your browser trusts by default? There are many others besides verisign.
Will there be an open source OS that is good to be used in 2038? Yes. Is Linux it? Nope. Not unless you still think that the MS-DOS system is still useful today, or that Windows 3.1 laptop.
Linux 2.6 is not Linux 1.0.
In 30 years there may still be Linux, but it will be Linux 5.2.
(or maybe Linux 2.6.4159 if Linus never changes his versioning again...)
Unlike a piece of software, a bad hammer can't compromize your information security.
Your best bet is to simply forbid specific pieces of software that are known to be a problem (certain browser extensions) and specific categories of software of are usually a problem (peer to peer.) Then, add to the list as folks make poor choices.
Enumerating badness, I see. Well, good luck with that.
Simple reason why I had seeks to an area that looks empty, it's because I *used* to have files there before I deleted them, then since I'm savvy enough to use Truecrypt, I ran one of those wipe programs that overwrites it with garbage, hence what you see if you look at the drive forensically, garbage.
You mean like purposefully destroying evidence, right?

Mods must be crazy.

So they use Bittorrent?
"Frankly" when business is more important than the customer, often the business isn't worth a damn.
I think that says more about make than it says about timekeeping.

You mean this?
2^2-1=3 (prime)
2^3-1=7 (prime)
2^7-1=127 (prime)
2^127-1=170141183460469231731687303715884105727 (prime)
2^170141183460469231731687303715884105727-1="universe overflow" (is it prime? doubtful!)
1 is neither prime nor composite, it is a unit.
Mersenne primes would not make very good encryption keys, because they're not very secret. :)
M4, M9, M13 and M21 when written in decimal are such that their lengths are prime numbers. The largest being 2917 digits.
Of course, when written in binary they all have lengths that are prime. 2^p-1 is prime implies p is prime.
Yes that's exactly what I was talking about. Sorry I didn't make it more clear.
And a valid signed cert, if the site owner doesn't want his users getting annoying warnings...
Just a warning: that doesn't always work.

Look out, there's controversy! RUN!!

Or you can give a P.O. Box.

Um, lots of public computers are likely storing information about your access whether you "allow" it or not. No?
...the second law of thermodynamics that states that the entropy of all isolated systems always increases.
There. Fix'd it for you.
When external energy is applied to the system (like, say, electricity), then the system isn't isolated.

Yep, that's just what we want to do. Encode our P2P traffic in Base64 so it will be 33% bigger. :/

If the Bavarian police can install a trojan on your PC, then your PC was *already* accessible to hackers.
