Since information is generally consumed by different parties for various reasons, what parameters define information sensitivity?
For example marketing may define "customer" data such as name and email address as not being sensitive while another department such as human resource may.
@MarkBuffalo yeah. OSs could decide to ignore a specific device but it's preposterous. if the device is malicious, then the OS already cannot trust any of the hardware it's using apart from maybe a TPM. It'd need to validate that none of the firmware of the other devices has been modified, and that the state of the BIOS is as expected (e.g. secure boot with full validation of the hardware). That's completely beyond the point of what OP is discussing, im(nsh)o
Even worse is the way that USB devices identify themselves. Most devices aren't uniquely identifiable meaning whitelisting devices is nearly impossible
@TildalWave See, this is only "creepy" when you do it. When @ThomasPornin does it, we initiate double standards... probably because we know he's serious, and you're not... and we don't want to get mauled.
In fact, if I even introduce a new pattern, I comment showing people how to follow my logic and update the code based on the current pattern. I go into great detail, and even provide examples
For huge files where you have 234092342904904 different classes everywhere, and you need to update something, an explanation is critical.
If I check something into svn without commit, it's because it's a quick change that's already visible. For things that require more information, never... an explanation of changes is required. If it's something only I will ever work on, I don't put the explanations in the svn because they're already in the comments. Am I terribad?
"already visible" = shows up on diff / is commented.
@MarkBuffalo Some C compilers don't support namespaces, so many C programmers like to prefix functions with their driver role etc. Also, many GCC builtin functions use leading underscores.
How to authenticate a subscriber GSM?
Could you give me a hint or link where it is described ? I mean: From what base station of GSM knows that the subscriber is authorized.
abonent is user that is entitled to using this GSM.
@DavidFreitag Note that GCC MUST use the underscores for exactly the same reason that developers MUST NOT use them: identifiers beginning with two underscores (or one underscore followed by an uppercase letter) are reserved for the implementation (i.e. reserved for GCC and the libc).
If you write a library in C, then it is best if all your globally visible identifiers (non-static functions and global variables, macros defined in your library API header) beginning with a specific prefix. This will help reduce risks of namespace collisions.
@ThomasPornin It also helps keep track of what each function does. Especially when you're using a terrible compiler from the 80s that only supports a single C file.

even better -- they're doing it completely wrong. ^^ that's the answer to their question

I am not bitching him because he wants to learn, I am pointing that he wants to compile a custom kernel module while trapped inside vim and cannot get back to bash... And I am not on a windows host, for like 12 years...
he wants to run kali, fine... but he must first get to know how linux works
I bet he wants to hack something, heard that kali is the linux for hackers, downloads, and discovers that he isn't a hacker at all...
@RoraΖ Though the libc files have been deleted, they still linger on the disk because running processes have descriptors open to it. It will really disappear upon shutdown. It can be salvaged "live".
Some body is using my Google Apps Email ID to send SPAM messages and I've received 2000+ undelivered an autorespond emails.

The question is relevant: what do you do when you begin to receive thousands of automatic (or irate) emails because a spammer used your email address as "from" in millions of spams ?
When people insist on making copies of all read requests to public data and put it in a 100 GB database that nobody can consult because any SQL request brings down the server to its knees, I talk about how stupid this is with the Smaug metaphor.
