Does anyone have any ideas on where the worst Global Hackers Live (from a USA perspective). By this I mean, where do warez, serialz, botnets, spammers have their residence? In what countries are those hackers most likely to live? How do they connect to the internet? Is banning their home continent effective in curbing their access? (or do they use unknown proxies?)
I want to block likely hackers based on IP address / contient (i.e. China / Russia). I don't care if I alienate a large group of users.
Also, any freely available blocklists for this purpose?
UPDATE: This is programming related because blacklisting is a common programming task. And programmers are one of the few groups that care about this type of data. Who else would I ask?
Primarily, the basement of their parents place. :)
South America in General, but mostly Brazil
China and Korea
South Eastern Europe: Hungary, Czech, etc.

According to Wikipedia, Dynamic Programming
has found applications in numerous fields, from aerospace engineering to economics.
What are some example problems solved by DP in Aerospace Engineering?
Maybe something with optimizing launch trajectory?
Dynamic programming is a fundamental core of aerospace vehicles, corporations typically don't want to disclose information like this as it is their intellectual property.
However, there are many scholarly articles that overview how dynamic programming affects aerospace vehicles
Here's even a book on it: https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=MIdp-9rbYSQC&oi=fnd&pg=PP1&dq=dynamic+programming+in+aerospace&ots=K6BSIMGze4&sig=VMDcLYNTYWuUcv87D6zqGejfhOA#v=onepage&q=dynamic%20programming%20in%20aerospace&f=false
I would assume that they are used in other systems besides just launch trajectory.

I have finished watching the 2nd season of House of Cards, and I'm appalled. The show really is fantastic, however let me get down straight to the point - computer-wise, how realistic is the show? Gavin Orsay, a hacker and informant for the FBI created a USB stick for the The Washington Herald reporter Lucas Goodwin, which contained malicious code that would be automatically injected into any machine when plugged in.
- Theoretically, is this possible?
Not that I would want to do something like that, I'm just interested... And I'm not talking about autorun.infs, I mean real code that would be able to penetrate into a system, a virus, essentially. And if there was to be such a virus, would it be able to inject itself cross-platform? i.e. do the same amount of damage both on Windows, Unix, Linux distros etc.
This is possible. There have been certain countermeasures that have been implemented in Unix systems that pride themselves on being safe from attacks such as these.
That said, it wouldn't work on every machine.
This is not only possible it has been done many times. have a look at the Stuxnex virus developed by the United States to slow down Iran's uranium enrichment program.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet
As far as cross platform, the flash drive could have different versions of the same virus/trojan/worm compiled for different hardware and operating systems. Developing software like this is not a matter of "if" it can be done, it is a matter of how much time/money do you have to make it happen!

It seems there are legal issues associated with AES-256 (it is disabled in Java, and Oracle tells me in their UnlimitedJCE Policy that I am "advised to consult" my "export/import control counsel or attorney to determine the exact requirements" before turning it back on and the page on Wikipedia does not look very friendly either).
It also seems that AES-128 is "fine" (at least the people responsible for putting together the JDK have come to that conclusion).
So can I just use AES-128 and feel happy with my encryption? Is it still safe enough to protect the data for a couple of more years from all but the most resourceful attackers?
Check this very simple website: http://www.keylength.com.
There you can find the various recommendations made by academic and private organizations across the world. They don't all say the same thing, but they are all in the same ballpark.
For instance, NIST claims that AES-128 is fine at the very least up to 2030.

I have a company website hosted at www.BRAND.com (where BRAND is a generic name).
The company want to develop a "micro website" for one of their campaigns, named "Inspired By BRAND".
I have two directions:
inspired.by.BRAND.com - which I personally don't like too much. I don't know why but I don't recall any web address similar to this one subdomain.subdomain.domain.com.
inspired.BRAND.com - which I this is best suited for it. Fewer dots and similar to "more friendly" addresses subdomain.domain.com.
Any hints, guidelines, any thoughts is well appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Personally, I would probably go for inspiredby.BRAND.com. It reflects the name of your micro-site, sounds good to me, and is communicated easily by phone as it does not have any hyphens or underscores etc...

How do i come up with a good name for a website or software I am developing. Are there references for naming websites or software?
think of a rude word to use as an acronym, and then fit in the words to make that acronym fit.
SHAFTED was the code name of one internal project I was working on
Shipment
Help
And
Full
Tracking of
Export
Documentation
OTIS was the clean version I used around managers (Order Tracking Information System)
I let my creativity flow and write up 5-10 names.
Then i google them.If one of them is not in use, i take it. :)
I want to be the names unique ;)
Personally? I don't, they're all horrible. But after a couple days of working on the project it's just a group of letters that means "work left to do," regardless of what I called it. :)
Here is an idea from Paul Graham's Why Smart People Have Bad Ideas essay,
[4] I wrote a program to generate all
the combinations of "Web" plus a three
letter word. I learned from this that
most three letter words are bad:
Webpig, Webdog, Webfat, Webzit,
Webfug. But one of them was Webvia; I
swapped them to make Viaweb.
