Okay, then create the CGI characters for the next, animated film. The tools are easy. So just go do it. Oh, wait, that's right, there are concepts involved that software can't teach you. At _most_ you could create a wizard that creates a "stock" character with a few options, and a few animations. But that still doesn't get you to film. ;) > Welcome to the Earth. :-) One person does that and BAM!

And what do they do when the technician states, "I need your password to fix your computer." That's authentication 101. Now multiple the complexity of the concepts by an order of magnitude. Welcome to public key authentication. ;) > Do you understand? Apparently you didn't understand mine. Also understand you are talking to someone who stared down the executives at the #1 entertainment company going, "no, Capital One will sign their files." Someone who said, "no, your support technicians will not support bank servers on the WAN, they will go over to a separate room and login in there, because it is on a completely different LAN with absolutely no Internet or other corporate WAN (let alone inter-company) connectivity." > We have an issue with the process, but we need to know that > the problem is not the process itself, same way as the problem > with the computer is not the computer, > but something inside it that the owner don't know what it and the > technician needs to discover. I have heard the "the processes are too difficult, to hard, we need a 'tool' that is 'secure' and people don't need to understand how they work." Sorry, doesn't fly with me on _basic_ security concepts. Especially when just *1* user compromised means the _entire_ Fedora project in compromised. Tools don't help that. ;0 A wizard is nice, but that wizard must _train_ the person on the process. They can_not_ just ignore the details. So yes, that means the user needs to know when its the memory, and when its not. ;) -- Bryan J.
