Use TrueCrypt to do whole disk encryption on your Windows XP hard drive. Then boot your computer with a Linux Live CD and dd the first 512 bytes to stdout. This is what you'll see in plain text ASCII: "TrueCrypt Boot Loader" No expert is

Very good account name. Twitter is the pimp and the advertisers are the Johns. Google and FaceBook are pimps too.

It's easy if you've coded enough to know. I hate the fact that in Python, to reverse a string, I have to do slicing: string[::-1] In Ruby, I can do string.reverse() so that makes me hate that about Python, well... that and a few other thing

Using the name Lava would surely get you sued. Only one char difference. The trademark holder would be all over that. NcDonalds can't sell BigNacs and get away with doing so.

One word... JavaScript

Is Javascript even helpful to most malwares? Yes, very much so. Adobe PDF reader's JavaScript ability is the reason it's dangerous to open PDF files anymore. They issue a new patch once a month it seems and are working on a sandbox as the

We'd be better off without JavaScript embedded into Websites and PDF files. Granted, it adds functionality, but if you've ever tried to keep hundreds of Microsoft Windows PCs from being infected with malware, you'd understand. Things are si

Yes, but the point is that in order to use a stolen cert, you need the passcode and the cert. They somehow got three certs and three passcodes from three different companies.

I've read that there are three stolen Microsoft Authenticode certificates being used by stuxnet authors to sign the malware. I've used these sort of certs myself to sign executables. They require passphrases to use. I could believe that the

Probably used the law enforcement interface. Build a backdoor for cops and the hackers will target it.

Great post... would also outlaw OpenSSH and OpenSSL (self-signed certs).

You should avoid everything that requires an expert "explaining" things in an "easy to understand way". Avoid religion and stocks markets. No one understands either. Both require a great deal of faith. And only a few people (ministers and s

For the young guys out there, you should know that DOS is illegal. If an individual is caught doing this, they could end-up in jail or in the least get a criminal record. So, if you want a decent job and to be a productive member of society

Where is the confirmation? IMO, he would have to admit he did it. Maybe I missed that in the article. IMs are not PGP signed or anything like that. It could have been someone pretending to be him. Maybe he left his laptop unlocked and a roo

They typed "AGREE" to the policy on day one when they were hired. IT is 2000 miles away. No one from IT is going to visit their office. They are going to wipe the device per corporate policy.

He's blames the remote wipes on the local IT guys. Calls them sadists. But I bet they are just doing what their corporate policies require them to do. The policies are written by the suits in management, not the local IT guys. If you want

"Welcome to OpenBSD" is customarily spoken as "Fuck you moron" or "SMP is for retards and jackasses like you" or "Threads are for idiots and no, we don't care." I love OpenBSD though. Use it everyday. They don't pretend. What you see is wha

I can recommend nearlyfreespeech.net for hosting. They allow any legal material to be posted. The one downside is it's Unix with a ssh, and there is no hand holding. But if you have the know-how, great service!

I've not down voted you. It's a matter of survival. I sleep on the ground under a tree until I get a sleeping bag, and then maybe a cot. Before I buy a nice soft comfy mattress, I need a safe, secure structure for it. Think of the liberal a

Liberal Arts is a luxury that many cultures cannot afford. When you're just starting out or trying to survive as a culture, you need engineers, hard-core scientists and business people. Take China and Israel for example. The upper class can

Agree. You may never be required to understand the lower-level stuff behind it all, but you'll become a better programmer if you take the time to do so (e.g. why is one data structure more efficient for this problem, etc.) I re-started CS i

The short version: 1. User decided to not automatically renew payment. 2. Google sent email telling user to renew manually. 3. User ignored renewal email and Google cut him off. 4. User complains that Google mistreated him.

I love the Internet as much as the next guy... but unlike most people, I understand that anyone can post anything on an Internet forum and many times they do so anonymously (except for an IP address). The more savvy may use TOR when setting
