I like the bit at the bottom before the comments,
If you don't have anything worthwhile to say, don't say it. If people continue to abuse this feature, I will have to remove it.
Quite an ingenious solution he came up with. Glad he didn't just remove it instead.
Their press release talks about the 'rich, seamless experiences' that are 'personalized, integrated and available online anywhere'. Under the 'Office Live Workspace: New Web Functionality for Microsoft Office' they say 'Extend Microsoft Office. Users can easily connect to Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook on their PC via the Web.' It seems that it is their plan to rival google apps, they are just clueless.
I don't think you were in fact at the receiving end of his scorn. chroot is only something you would worry about on a large scale multiuser system, so it was directed to those whose job in part is to secure large systems. It's one of those things with kernel developers chatting on open mailing lists, it's easy to be taken out of context. In this regard, chroot has no problems - to break out you need superuser access, and by then it's too late. Simply put, it's something you would never have to worry about.
Amazing in TFA and his reply here he never mentions that his only record label contract was canceled. All that bullshit "Maybe the price.. Thanks to iTunes.. Maybe nobody cares about CDs anymore?.. Maybe having just a fraction of the major label music.. Maybe.. Maybe the press is Apple-fixated?.. Maybe I didn't do a good job.. "
Or maybe, just maybe you lost your only major label contract. Well, at least he has the right lack of ethics to be a music distributor. I suppose the truth might impact his firesale.
They introduced the loaded term 'do no evil', not the people around Slashdot. People criticise it because it is a patently stupid hallmark card style of marketing. Don't expect any less criticism until they drop the feelgood slogan.
I think you're onto something. The discrepancy with 'A1+1' is most likely to do with the addition operator for text fields taking precedence and ignoring the value field, where multiplication is not defined for text fields and doesn't get messed up by precedence rules. Still, how the value to text field conversion of 65535==100000 came about is mind-boggling.
Web 2.0 encourages multi-way communication, and users contributing content.
That reminds me of this public noticeboard thing down at the laundromat. What's it called again? Oh yeah, a bulletin board. I predict that Web 3.0 will be known as the 'Bulletin Board System'.
I'm not so sure it's to do with education, more about snazzy marketing departments using subliminal brainwashing techniques to instill their jargon. Look at podcast - brilliant marketing. RSS feed doesn't have the same ring to it, and doesn't mention a certain profitable product line either. It's the fault of intense study by marketing departments on creating new buzzwords like 'buzzword' (God I hate that word). To misquote Douglas Adams, marketing executives will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.
If I had a nickel for every time someone called me about something "catastrophically wrong" with their computer... I'd be the worst paid tech support in history!
It no longer surprises me that the internet is full of gullible fools who can't tell truth from bullshit. Before you immediately believe anything you read, check the sources. When there are none (per this article) you should check the facts. Hell, just check the comments where the authour says it's BS, in between the paranoid anti-zionist rantings. Quote: "Submitted in the spirit of Greg Bacon's classic Israeli PM vows to "Wipe Iran off the Map"", which of course is another bullshit anti-zionist rant piece under the guise of satire.

Unfortunately, there are over a dozen types of ice, including Ice 9. Is it time to start panicking?

As GGP said, it's filling my mind with disgusting images.

Any hacker worth his salt covers his tracks and leaves no traces, what did they expect?
Well, that's narrowed it down to sometime between Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon of the fifth week before lent, 1992.

Embrace. Extend. Extinguish. IE was a Microsoft success above and beyond their usual.
I'm not sure the planet has enough chairs for that.
Whenever I put on my robe and wizard hat, all the young girls run screaming.
Fry: So it's true, there is an infinite number of universes.
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: No, just the two.
Fry: Oh, well. I guess that's enough.

1) Pay someone else to write your resume
2) Submit to professional recruiting agencies
3) Work on your presentation and appearance
4) ????
5) Profit!
Same here, which seems odd. Perhaps we're still unwitting beta testers?

The science of agriculture speaks the language of numbers.
Problem - Solution:
Overbearing satellites - sombrero
Nanohelicopters - fly swatter
Towers, sensors and radar - pantomime horse outfit
Ranged finger and iris scans - sunglasses and gloves
One step solution: Pantomime horse wearing sunglasses, gloves and a sombrero carrying a fly swatter.

I assume he meant that anyone can be granted special privileges under copyright and patents.
You can write Java apps with that combo? I salute you, Master Hacker.
