If you want to clear the rules, go to /etc/udev/rules.d and delete the persistent net rules file. The new mac will then default to eth0 again. Or edit the rules file to your hearts content.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity "Security through (or by) obscurity is a pejorative referring to a principle in security engineering, which attempts to use secrecy (of design, implementation, etc.) to provide security."

That is an example of code obfuscation not security through obscurity.

The typical definition of "security through obscurity" refers to hiding bugs and vulnerabilities by keeping the design and implementation secret via closed source. Neither the design or implementation is secret in open source software, so by definition the OPS statement is incorrect.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity "Software which is deliberately released as open source cannot be said to be relying on security through obscurity (the design being publicly available), but it can nevertheless also experience security debacles (e.g., the Morris worm of 1988 spread through some obscure—though widely visible to those who looked—vulnerabilities)."

You are getting modded down because you claim Linux practices security through obscurity.

By definition, it's impossible for open source software to practice security through obscurity.

PS2 compatibility was dropped from the PS3 a *long* time ago.

Actually, if you are using HDMI, you do.

It's funny that your are modded as "Informative" though!

Points to a thread where 20 people have posted, and not even all of them are complaining. Clearly this is a huge problem of epic proportions.
