Actually they have a very good understanding of what happened in this case.
It's nothing spectacular.
In the past some serious leaks and attacks happened with pretty much nobody paying attention.
This here is a publicity stunt of an old hack by the ANSI (Agence Nationale de la Sécurité Informatique - National Agency for IT Security) saying :
- Since we now have more important prerogatives (very recent change) this kind of attack won't happen again
- Also, we need more money
- And, that will teach you about not following our recommendation. Next time you WILL use an open source alternative to Adobe Reader.
Smart move but the tech part of the story is irrelevant.

This one hasn't been updated for more than 3 years.

I guess its author is still trying to remove Kaspersky from his Botnet...

Remove all warning labels and let the problem fix itself

I wouldn't call this approach 'ethical'.

Can anyone give me an example of a situation where someone would want to clone RFID tags ?
Who would be using them for authentication ?

All the hype was used for Wave's release.

You are wrong:
windows + disaster is a partition (usually called c://)

"Do no harm or I pown you" worked for Celestial Being. ... but they had gundams so the comparison may fall short.

Indeed old G5 have only one side button.

New ones have 2 and I prefer their color as well. (I got one of each. :p)

And like GP said, the G5 is an amazing mouse for a very reasonable price.

Screw the middle step.
If you're confident in your "learning skills", just find a 3 months internship.
That's what I am currently doing and it's amazingly rewarding.
Put your studies on hold for a semester and work.

I can't say I had no experience with the middle step. I did code some little projects. But nothing impressive, really.

Where I am, I have to learn things very fast, all the time if I don't want to drown.
And what is great is that I get help from co-workers whenever I need it ( = tried for hours, didn't manage).
Not everyone can learn vi commands by themselves. The senior cobol dev knows it, just ask.

Seriously, I am just so happy I found this job.
Going back to school soon, but then I can say I know some coding.

The example in the presentation explains well how stupidly powerful windowing functions are.

That would be edubuntu right ?
Didn't try it. Just guessing from its name...

Actually, a very insightful comment above says that they're very unlikely to repeat offend.

Oh god. LaTeX. I'm gonna have nightmares again...

Only my hands know my passwords and I can't login after watching some pr0n.

Thank you.

With both your explanations, I can finally understand TFA.
It lacked maths. Badly.

Could you just explain your sentence "Of course, the one running the code would be able to figure out exactly what algorithm you're using."
I don't think it means what I (currently) think it means.

(I don't thank you for the Time Cube reference though)
