Sure, a bigger number of protesters also got similar charges, but that's not a big news because it's everything but obvious that the charges are bogus.

With reporters covering the event the situation is different. Mass arrests during riots I fully understand, and then reporters may get caught up in the net, but after you identify the reporters, you let them go. You don't file felony charges against reporters filming the event, unless of course you are a crooked DA.

But at least it's free!

These policies are not there to combat individualism, but to enable it with taxpaid support networks. Most of them are not poor aids, but state benefits that everyone enjoys, like the free or cheap high quality daycare used by the poor and rich alike.

Linux malware, outside of someone trying to crack the computer, largely doesn't exist because have you ever tried to ship binaries for all Linux distros?

I'm not sure DARPA or Naval Research Laboratory are really intelligence agency fronts.

Tor is supported by intelligence agencies because of the value it brings to them. For someone undercover, Tor is a great way to keep in touch, and if you're confronted you have a plausible explanation of wanting to buy LSD or watch kiddie porn or whatever most people use Tor for.

I think the real title is "The Oxford Etymologist doesn't know how strawberry got their name"

I honestly cannot imagine a better way to objectively test how well the products fare against attacks against an average Internet user.

Edit: If I was not clear, nobody tests with historical samples anymore. Only live attacks are being used for tests.

Uninstalling Flash, Adobe reader, Office and JRE, and using Chrome with adblock also helps you enormously, but is still a far cry for any user having difficulties with finding the download-button from sourceforge.

Getting a signing cert is easy as just buying one from Honest Achmed's Used Cars and Certificates, so the only real use for signed software with malware protection is to manually maintain your own list of trusted signers.

All operating systems that have some way to allow people to run malware, will get malware. Windows, OSX, GNU, Android all can get infected quite easily. Then there's iOS where you cannot, and instead Apple decides which software you can or cannot run.

The downside is of course that you cannot run any software going against the corporate values of Apple.

If you want the right to shoot yourself in the foot, AV is the necessary evil you must have, unless of course you're sure you'll never visit a website that contains an exploit, old or zeroday, against you browser or its components, and you will never open a office document, PDF or executable that has malware in it. And even then you can get owned.

So yeah, I'd say our perception of reality is pretty okay.

-VirusTotal's antivirus engines are commandline versions, so depending on the product, they will not behave exactly the same as the desktop versions: for instance, desktop solutions may use techniques based on behavioural analysis and count with personal firewalls that may decrease entry points and mitigate propagation, etc.

-In VirusTotal desktop-oriented solutions coexist with perimeter-oriented solutions; heuristics in this latter group may be more aggressive and paranoid, since the impact of false positives is less visible in the perimeter. It is simply not fair to compare both groups.

-Some of the solutions included in VirusTotal are parametrized (in coherence with the developer company's desire) with a different heuristic/agressiveness level than the official end-user default configuration.

For young adults with a high school diploma or less, things did not look so good. These Americans performed significantly worse than those in other countries with the same education level."

Doesn't that just mean that smart kids in America are more likely to get a higher education than in other many other countries?

The FBI also could've ordered Apple to sign their house-made FBIOS for iPhone to crack the decryption, and Apple complying would've undermined the iOS security at least as must as the current scenario.

Krebs also understands the technology, and quotes David Qu from Foscam about how their P2P technically works.

"This is a concern because the P2P function built into Foscam P2P cameras is designed to punch through firewalls and can’t be switched off without applying a firmware update plus an additional patch that the company only released after repeated pleas from users on its support forum."

Later he quotes Nicholas Weaver from ICSI:

"Given the seemingly cavalier attitude and the almost certain lack of automatic updates, it is almost certain that these devices are remotely exploitable."

Reindeer steaks on the other hand, those are among the best steaks made out of any animal I've eaten. There the price comes from the fact that reindeer herds need hundreds if not thousands of square kilometres to roam freely. The good thing is that Finland has 123 000 sqkms of wilderness (roughly the size of Greece or Mississippi) officially dedicated for herding reindeer!

Wow. This if anything will screw you up. 12 hours of work + 8 hours of sleep per day 7 days a week leaves you with 4 hours for commuting, showering, making dinner, doing laundry, working out and relaxing.

Doing eighty hours per week can be wonderfully efficient - for a few weeks. After that you start to get sloppy, and soon you're performing worse than those doing a 40 hour week. Work a not a sprint, and not even a marathon, and more like running around the globe because you like to run.

Work shouldn't even be means to an end of becoming rich, and being rich without a respected job you're proud of is boring and hollow. Unlike prestige, once your income or wealth exceeds the limit where you have to stress about money, having more money won't make your life happier.
