Sorry, Malaysia is significantly more complex than that. First you have the ethnic Malays, they speak Bahasa in a dialect similar to Indonesia. Officially they are Muslim, practically its very different. Freedom of religion is somewhat protected in the Malaysian legal system (outside of the Sharia courts). Then you have the Chinese. Generally the Chinese are Christian or Buddhist as you mention. There is also a significant Indian population which has their influences as well. In the major centers you have a (somewhat) significant expat population - helping to modernise the country. It makes for one very big melting pot of culture, and not that they dont have their problems, they seem to be succeeding at multi-culturism much better than anyone else.

Lets make a list of the companies involved in funding for that crap, so we know whom to disposses in 20 years.

No one in 20 years will notice. Because many of the groups actively promoting Climate Change Denial now are the same groups that were denying that cigarettes cause lung cancer.

This is one of the best articles place on Slashdot in a long time. Its a pity that very few of the above posters have actually read it.

Firstly, it details the methods of accessing the car. Surprisingly, the CD was most effective. They found vulnerabilities in parsing MP3's and WMA's. They reverse engineered the firmware, - found a buffer overflow and exploited it. From there, they then exploited the Dealer tools used to analyse vehicle faults.

So, infect and mp3 and upload it via sharing. That infects cars, which then infect their dealer tools. The infected dealer tools can then reprogram ecu's and other devices on the cars themselves.
This is only the start. They then proceed to find more in depth vulnerabilities and propose possible wholesale models of theft that become possible. For anyone with an interest in hacking (and true hacking, not just script kiddy stuff) then have a good read of this article...

extrafu writes "The Inverse team has just released SOGo v2.0.0beta1 which features native Outlook compatibility using OpenChange and Samba4. This means Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010 can talk directly to SOGo — just like if it was a Microsoft Exchange server. No plugins are required in Outlook to make this work. Does that mean we finally have the perfect Exchange killer? A virtual appliance with everything installed and configured is available for download, for testing purposes."

Lol. So true. A mate of mine worked for them. He had an accounting background on top of a CS degree. One week he would be providing consultant advice on naval ship building, the next week on running a national train system - despite having zero experience in either of these activities. To put it simply, the powers that be, needed consultants, and PWC kindly stepped in and took plenty of their money!
