It does nothing (yes, nothing) to enhance security
It may enhance your luck. Sometimes exploits are found and there's some time between the discovery of the vulnerability and you fixing your system. In that time it could be that the only attack that will be attempted on your system will be an untargeted one by someone who's just quickly sweeping the whole internet on the standard port for as many machines to root as quickly as possible.
Serious question to all: Do people still use the default port for SSH anymore? I never have, as once we went from telnet to ssh (over a decade ago...) we just always used a non-standard port. Makes my logs a lot easier to read.
Yes, I run it on the default port, as does everyone else I personally know. How does running it on a non-standard port make your logs easier to read?
I'm thinking about getting one of those, but don't you find the lenses to be on the big side?
An IP address isn't necessarily invalid because it ends in
Beat up on them for no good reason? They're a spyware manufacturer. Sounds like a perfectly valid reason to me.
No, we don't.
Paying $30 for a DVD and then making a thousand copies of it still makes them $30 of profit.
As "they" love to point out, the thousand people you give those copies to are now less inclined to pay $30 for a copy.
How hard is it to learn LaTeX, anyway?
Extremely, as soon as your boss/customer/instructor asks you to make some silly change to the document formatting that LaTeX and/or the template wasn't designed to make easy. I gave LaTeX a try and it didn't take long for it to become incredibly hard to use in those cases.
You must not have used Amazon in a while. Over the past year they started requiring the use of their downloader for more and more stuff. I stopped using amazon and started using rhapsody instead.
No. Preferably without that useless special downloader program you have to use to actually get the MP3 files you bought from amazon.
Don't you have sshd enabled on your mac with an appropriate 50 character password?
Why on earth would anyone have a 50 character password for SSH when SSH supports public key authentication? Don't you have sshd enabled with an appropriate public key?
They were being sent in clear text all along anyway. The login isn't done over SSL.
Sounds like you know what the root of the problem is. The solution isn't to physically destroy part of the computer.
Why on earth does plugging a flash drive into a USB port necessarily need to cause a security compromise? Just don't execute anything from the drive. It really isn't that hard.
In production for 17 years or not, there is no brand-new car available today that costs $3000. I'd certainly buy a 17 year old design if it were still made new today for $3000.
