It's all over the internet... I am bored with this recompiled kernel
with disabled security patches, just for fun. Anyway any program can
take over my system as I am sudoer without password ;))))))))))
I would be root but I like to prevent accidental rewriting of files,
just for that reason I don't log as root.

Ha, ha, ha, ha!  Anybody who actually "logs on" to his
own machine is a TOTAL ASSHOLE IDIOT! 

Do you also show your ID card when you enter your own
home?  Ha,  ha, ha, ha, ha!

Translation:

Even though it is a stupid idea, I always log on to my
machine because I don't know how NOT to log on.
GNU/Linux does not offer a "no log on" option
and I must use what I am given because I don't know
how to do it otherwise.

Sure, I could do that, but why not just run Windows 3.1?

The jig is up, once the government gains physical access to your device.

They famously cracked an iPhone, with help, some years back.

It is proven superior concept. I am not single user on this desktop.

Then you should have said "company system" rather
than "my system."

But then with hardware being so cheap what company
could not afford to provide each employee with his
own machine?

One thing that I have never seen spoofed is the Google acct. number so perhaps you can use it as a filtering criteria, too. Here's mine:

posting-account=qzPusQoAAADVdKNEKE-jqIVbecHp7oZ7 

My gmail posts go back to 2009 (that I've seen, crackhead's forgeries using gmail only go back to 2012). Notice the posting acct. number on this response matches this post from 2009:

Hopefully, AMD's stock price will deservedly rise.

In my case, this is the last time I buy Intel's junk.

Such a complicated world, we live in...

Then there's the greedy businessman, pushing get things out as quickly
as possible, to make more money.  It's no wonder that things go wrong.

Nothing has gone wrong.  Absolutely fucking nothing.

The design of the Intel processor is fantastic.  It pushes current
technology to the limit and squeezes extra performance through the
use of clever devices such as pipelining, hyperthreading, and branch
prediction.  The Intel processor is a wonder to behold.

The problem is with these asshole idiots who, presumably with a LOT
of time on their hands, just continually search for ways to exploit
the hardware.

I have said this before and I will say it again.  Must the architect
be blamed if some asshole idiot devotes many days of scrutinizing
the blueprints to discover some tiny potential hole through which
to gain unauthorized entrance to his building?

These "flaws" are only flaws in retrospect.  If someone uses an
automobile to drive at high speed into a crowd of people, do we
claim that the automobile has a serious design flaw?  No fucking way!

But yet many will do just that.  The designer of the former World Trade
Center was even blamed for incompetence because his skyscraper did
not withstand the impact of a passenger jet.  What lunacy!  No architect
in the world would ever anticipate that some asshole idiot would
fly an airliner into his building.

Good points, all of them.

Wrong.  

Almost every system needs to fend-off attackers, within reasonable
resource limitations.  Should skyscrapers be able withstand aircraft
smashing into them?  No, but they had better to able to withstand any
expected wind force or seismic event.

The twin towers were not brought down by wind or seismic events.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They 
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel 
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

Absolute nonsense.

In the case of buildings, there are only two SPECIAL situations
where attention is actually given to attackers: military encampments
and nuclear power plants.  But for virtually everything else no one
is going to waste even a second of design time to consider how an attacker
could possibly exploit the design.

You have obviously never designed anything of significance or
complexity.  All designs are directed toward fulfilling certain
goals and standards and nothing more -- and the vague and even
outlandish notion of a criminal attack is never included.

Then how do we deal with these attackers?

The Internet needs to be completely redesigned, client-side
scripting needs to be completely abolished, and software needs
to be employed by informed users only.

That's how.

Hey idiot.  That's called a RETROFIT.  It's not part of the
original design.

In fact, most current home designs feature sliding glass panel
doors which can be defeated in less than a minute with a simple
screwdriver.  In a home developers mind, looks are foremost and
security is absent totally.
