At Black Hat, Robert Graham, CEO of errata security, showed how to capture and clone session cookies. He even hijacked a shocked attendee's Gmail account in the middle of his Black Hat speech."

Actually, I do RTFA writes: A short while ago, slashdot featured an article about possible criminal prosecution for people who took advantage of faulty slot machine software. At the time, many people drew an analogy to an ATM that dispensed too much money. Well, apparently, that too may result in criminal charges. Interestingly, although they suspect that someone may have tampered with the ATM, they are considering charging anyone who withdrew money from the ATM.

This also provides an interesting rejoinder to 'if they can build a secure ATM, why cannot Diebold build a secure electronic voting machine.'

"unproven, yet proveable"

You will never "prove" the conditions of primordial earth and the genesis of life.

Your inability to accept THAT knowledge despite the fact that it is REALITY is all YOUR fault.

Bottom line is that without the universal, the particulars have ZERO meaning. You strive to make the 'universal' an impersonal combination of time + chance.

That, my friend, is (to quote a foolish barb tossed my way) the masturbatory cul-de-sac from which you will never escape, until (if you're lucky) you go insane like Nietsche.
