They can run. But they may not be able to run effectively. They may need to hire more doctors, or get that MRI fixed. For a short term period that is fine. However if your break into the banks account and mess up their funding. There is a slower long term drain.
Perl popularity is due to its text file processing ability. Back durring it's high points relational databases were expensive and resource hogs. However with faster systems and lower cost or free databases available, Perl need has declined. Your sites data is no longer being processes in a large text file but in a database. (Granted the database may internally doing the same thing) It isn't that Perl is bad but it just isn't as useful anymore.
Media should learn when to shut up. Or people should think a bit more.
The process of Diagnosing a 787 isn't easy, a lot of parts, you first check the most likely causes and go further. The media love to jump and post the first guess from the engineers and scientists (a new study (That is in process, and hasn't been proven or peer reviewed) to show x = y, so it is written to make us think x = y), things like this just makes the common folk fear Ethnology and Science because it makes us sound like a bumbling idiots who change our mind and now say the truth has changed once again.
If you hack a bank that causes them to say stop funding a hospital due to a "Computer Error" and people die because the hospital didn't get the resources they needed in time. The hacker is no less evil then a guy who just pushed the button to hit a bomb.
They justify their consciousness because it is just cleaner and they don't have the see the full effect.
Well it is a case, the stereotype was used to portrait them in a negative light. Trade Federation were the Bad guys. Jar-Jar was a clumsy and didn't really know what was going on The flying dude, was just all about greed and money.
It the Trade Federation had a counter group that was also the good guys, If Jar-Jar was more useful If the Flying dude actually gave a crap about people
Then they would be less obvious. What I liked about Ep.4,5,6 Even the ugly aliens were good guys, or bad guys. As were the humans. Admiral Akbar is a prime example, his appearance was terrifying to a young kid, however he was a good guy. The new ones, If the aliens are good guys then they look like they are good guys if they are bad guys they look like so.
The problem with Star Trek was there was too much cannon and back story. Much of it was based in 1960's culture. The reboot needed to be explained in terms of cannon unless the trek fans would be inraged.
So I see two ways for this. Mirror universe or time travel. Time travel allowed for older Origional charactors to communicate with the new ones as to pass the touch.
Being Star Wars VII it doesn't sound like a reboot, but more like the next generation.
Actually it is more linked to their Perceived intelligence.
Most hackers think they are so much smarter than everyone else, because they decided to trade off time to learn how to do interesting things with computers vs using the time to say learn about Football statistics. However they are no smarter than the normal population. But because they Perceive themselves as more intelligent, they figure that they know more about anything than other people. So they get in the mind set, I am smarter then the rest so I should be right about more stuff. So if everyone follows my solution then everything will work better.
You just stop and figure out if everyone could just realize what I know then the world will be a better place. Even though what you know may not be true for everyone.
Other groups don't have such an EGO so they are more willing to admit they could be wrong, thus less pig headed on solving all the issues, even though their ideas are just as good or idiotic as the hackers.
I am a bigger supporter to open specification over open source. Open specs solves many of the problems open source does, while it allows more business models to operate. Source code isn't that big of a deal compared to good specifications
I don't think it is a big deal. I mean most of us write rather quickly on a QWERTY keyboard, which by design was to slow people down... However once they got use to it they type just as fast as with any other layout. For myself the speed of my typing isn't about my hands knowing the letters but figuring out how to spell the words. Although I do have a learning disability in writing, that slows me down more then most. but still with modern typist the speed of typing is nearly as fast as you can think the words out... I can normally type faster then it would take me to speak it out clearly. Without sounding like transformers Blur.
Hence you are often the first to get laid off. Your employer is your customer. If you just offer the same services as everyone else, why should they bother to keep you. If you somehow offer services better then others then they will be more willing to keep you.
Your comments just make you sound like a lazy slacker who hates the MAN.
You are a resource to the company. If you do the bare minimum they will replace you with a better resource. Sure if you worked hard to be excelent you could still get canned but it is less likely.
You don't store the password in Memory for long at all.
For example. (I am keeping the code simple here)
function sendstuff() {//send login data to server results=ajaxcalllogin("myPass"); document.getElementById("myPass").value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"; process(results) }
Then after that you use an encrypted/sha2+salt session value, that you can verify against your connection information such as an IP Address so it is harder to reproduce on different systems.
What I have seen in the past is the server sending back the password of the Javascript keeping the login and password in a variable so it can continue. Which is just bad.
That is exception to the general practice. However I doubt that Borland, was offering a better work environment than Microsoft anyways. Do the Same Job, Get the same benefits and opportunity, But for more money. However if Borland made the employees feel like they will grow as the company does, many will turn down Microsofts short term Money for a chance for more in the future with Borland.
No. I didn't say that. I just pointed out that employee turn over is bad for the company. If they really want to reduce the turn over they need to make working there better.
A company does invest in their employees. When you start a job, there is a period of time where you learn the ropes, figure out the details of your job. They don't just drop you and go. Their is investment, granted now there is less investment then before.
However we are in a catch 22 problem. Companies cannot invest too much in their employees because there is just to much turn over. There is too much turn over because they don't feel that they are invested in the company.
It isn't about what you owe the company, it is about the company trying to keep you there. However if you have any sense of work ethic, and the company does give you some training, you should attempt to be sure your services are valuable to the company, not that you owe them anything, but you are selling your services and you should try to give them a good product for their money.
Assuming your security is good, because bigger people use it and they didn't run in a problem yet, doesn't mean your security is good. Also SSL is fine, however it isn't the end all be all in security. You just don't make it HTTPS and assume you are all good. Who actually reads data packets anyways nowadays? I mean any basic network now uses switch over hubs now, So traffic is routed more cleanly to the host system with less spots for you packet sniff. Simple rookie mistakes like having your password stored in your session, where if someone has access to your PC can read you memory/cache/paging file/browser history can find it, or the DB UID for your user account is just as bad, or just a back door for your "Administrator" to gain more access.
Most developers don't really think in terms of security. That is the problem. SSL helps a little but but it isn't the end all bee all.
I don't think California is a "right to work" state.
But the issue of Poaching or Employees going to a competitor is a problem. Because the company invests in these employees and then they go out to their competitor, to give them value. It is like paying your competitors bills.
I think the real issue is the complete inadequacies in most companies Human Resource Departments. They need to be active in making sure each worker is getting their market value rate, as well insuring they have opportunity to grow and advance in the organization. Otherwise we have what we have now. Get a job work there for a few years to boost your resume and skills, realize you job is leading you nowhere, then you go to an other company for higher pay and a better position and repeat. Leaving the company that you left having to hire a replacement for you, and probably having to pay the rate your new job got combined with having to train them with the skills needed to work in the organization.
In general (meaning they are exceptions, a lot of them) engineers are not good at coding. Good coding is more of an art and math science are the mediums, and the computer is the pallet. Part of good coding is to make your code elegant, small and easy to follow. I tend to prescribe small applications that do one thing and do it well, over the large program that does it all. Then combine these small apps together in a unified UI, this makes each piece easer to debug because you know what piece is doing what. However that be the case (performance, tighter integration, etc...) that you need to make a larger project, similar rules apply, make it easy to navigate. Know where the code stars and how to follow it. But the biggest problem I have seen is because coding is an art form people get too personal with their code and try to protect it when it is time for it to go. So we end up with a bunch of code of different styles and ages that have been over reworked to be a hindrance, where a remake would be better. Get rid of code that has many different ways of doing the same thing. Avoid third party libraries that are not standard or where you don't have the source too. Try to maintain a coding standard, and have someone review the code at random intervals to make sure they know what is going on. Some people try to put enterprise development designs into a small app making it too bulky. Conversely some people try to code like it is a small app in an enterprise app, making it less uniform. You just need to watch them and keep them implace and Change behaviors before it is too late
There are some major differences. 1. You are not protesting anonymously, you are actually being more courageous in actually stating this is my view, vs a DDOS where you just go yea Ill click that button too.
2. Chick-Fil-A can remove you and your friends if they want as well.
3. You see the scope of what you are doing, you can be sure you are following your personal bounds. In a DDOS you have unleaded chaos akin to it getting violent, or the protest expanding across the street to the doctors office, stopping them from working as well.
Also, say you did a DOS on a company, Chances are they are hosting their services at some data center who will be hosting for other organizations as well.
At my Previous Job, About 1000 Practices lost access to their Electronic Medical Records for a few minutes (as we switched to an other data center) because our primary data center main network router got killed because they were also hosting some Bank that those hackers didn't like. Yes you could tout that we could have done a better job at our fail-over method, but that is like blaming an innocent bystanders for getting shot because they didn't think to put on a bullet proof vest that day.
Expanding you analogy it would be like protesters also blocking entrance to a neighboring business that has nothing to do with the protest.
Hacktivism is just stupid. For one it could have unintended side effects secondly due to its anonymous nature you are not getting your point across, besides I don't like you.
We have some terminal Apps at work. I have mine with a black background... You will be surprised how many complain about that black background color, saying how hard it is to see. I expect most of the bitching and moaning isn't that it is harder to see, but what they are use too.

How is breaking into someone's else's computer a freedom.

It isn't that Perl is bad but it just isn't as useful anymore.
Where you can find a bunch of people who follow simulacra views and ideals, where you actually feel like you are a majority.
While the true majority doesn't care that much to go hunting for similar people.
And possibly messing up any advantages that the service offers you.
Unless you are just using them for storage then you are not really need a cloud service, just an offsite storage.

But there is a dome on it.
It is actually based of the US Capital Building... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Capitol
Maybe the Jefferson Memorial http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Memorial

No. I didn't say that.
