MITB attack happened in Finland just a month ago. If criminals are willing to attack a very small audience with a very difficult language[1] what do you think, is this happening to bigger banks?
One bank now requires SMS *reply* for "suspicious" transfers. Note that the query and reply both go through SMS so it is much harder to crack - MITB is not enough.
[1] They did use English, but that does decrease the success rate a lot.
I think the Utah's policy is extremely dangerous. How long you propose we give time to "gain more understanding"? Shouldn't we at the same time try to behave according to the best knowledge we have at hand?
I am a bit sceptic of AGW and especially the effects it may have, but I am not stupid enough to completely ignore the amount of CO2 we are pushing into the atmosphere.
The big question is: what if CO2 does cause the AGW?
Completely ignoring this "until we know for sure" is illogical and stupid as then it might be just too late.
It makes the owner more knowledgeable than someone without a PhD on the subject in question.
No, it does not. There is absolutely no reason why someone without a PhD could not have read, studied and understood climatology better than one with a PhD. And are more honest.
Why don't you just go and claim that only those who graduated PhD from University of East Anglia CRU are proficient enough and everybody else is just a bunch of idiots and should STFU.
That CO2 is a greenhouse gas, and its increased concentration does lead to overall increase in average temperature.
This has not been proven. CO2 does absorb heat waves, but it does not mean it will increase Earths average temperature. There is just too many other variables (e.g. amount of clouds seem to decrease with increased CO2). However, this is very possible. Therefore (and for other reasons) limiting CO2 emissions does make sense.
That solar activity is not a highly variable factor contributing in global average temperature in short to medium term
This has not been proven, some scientists studying the Sun say "it could affect". Now is solar spot minimum - is that the reason temperature is not going up as AGW predicted?
Besides IF there is a heating process, why cannot we measure it? Why was last decade within error margins, shouldn't it have gone far above?
Claiming that the one fact you mentioned (CO2 is greenhouse gas) is "all laws of physics" is simplifying the situation a lot.
I am not claiming there is no AGW. I do believe there is, but I am quite certain the effects it may have are marginal compared e.g. to over population.
There is absolutely nothing in structural engineering someone without a degree cannot understand that someone with one magically does. This is proved by the huge number of bridges build before there even were schools for engineering.
No doctor fresh out of the school can do medical surgery alone without assisting - i.e. learning in practice - first. Could someone without the school learn it? During war a few have...
There is nothing in climate science that somehow makes the owner of a paper which says "PhD" magically smarter than someone without one.
Claiming anything else is utterly idiotic.
Minority or not (I would not sign that petition for several reasons), science should not be done by popularity voting. 9000 is such a big number that it raises some questions.
There is no single AGW theory. There are thousands of them.
Now coral is dying in USA east coast because the water is too cold. Soon someone will show a "theory" which shows this is because AGW.
There is no weather condition which can prove AGW wrong. Every weather condition is predicted by some AGW theory. So no matter what happens, it is clearly a proof of the AGW and there is never a contradiction therefore AGW must be true.
No. Don't read the code, it is mostly waste of time.
Make an improvement somewhere. You have to know how that part works and you'll learn a lot from that. Put on *tracing* (or add it, if it does not have, or use debugger/profiler to get it). Read through the trace log, see what it is doing.
After a few months 50kloc should be pretty familiar to you.
when they switch back to Safari, the same page is open, scrolled to the same place.
But it has not updated the content, you have to wait for it to do it. After reading the page you wait for it download e-mail. I'm certain Apple will enable multitasking sooner than later.
This certainly is not competing with e-book readers as the screen is hugely worse (and 10 hours is not enough).
Wouldn't "toying" be much easier on a normal tablet with IDE? After all, it is cheaper and has "interactive display".
Comparing to Kindle DX is silly as iPad just does not compete with reading books, the display is not good enough for that.
Connectivity is shit as you cannot do ethernet or USB (without docking station). Every netbook I know as wifi and bluetooth/usb to a 3G phone, or you just plug 3G stick to USB port.
"Modern technology"... there is nothing new compared to similarly priced netbook (for example Samsung).
Your last note "should be trivial to figure uses for it" - and yet you fail to name a single one where it is better than a cheap netbook.
What? The price is $499 and the display is not good enough for reading books (if you compare to Kindle, which is $259) and there are cheaper, more capable, netbooks.
Ten hours is ridiculous as netbooks can do 9-12 hours and do much more (I'd never say iPad can do "so much" as it can do hugely less). How long can Kindle run?
The camera cannot be connected without docking station. Are you going to carry that around?
I meant text editor. BTW, I do not "navigate" my netbook nor do I "know how to use it", "or interact", I run programs on it.
iPhone is a phone, it can live with the limitations. iPad is a PC - except it isn't.
I know some people will just "love" iPad... but think, for a second, rationally. What the heck it is for? You cannot put even USB stick into it! You cannot run any "office" software, no IDE, not even Web with flash or even Java... well you can read a pdf... wow.
There has to be a reason, for most people, to buy it, right? What it is? Price - no . Battery life - no. Connectivity - haha! Usablity - not even a test editor! Multitasking... everyone remembers Microsoft idea of limiting this to three - can Apple pull out with one? I don't think so.
I admit, I'm nerd the worst kind, but... your question: I won't buy it if it does not do a single thing I want. And nobody I know neither, nerd or not.
Are you really implying bullying can be overcome only with more violence?
There are people who cannot, or do not want to, fight. What your advice to them is? "Get a character" or some other bullshit? "Passive nonsense people"... what an asshole you are!
The problem is not with the bullied. The problem is the bullier. Should the school punish the bullier by moving him/her to another school the bullying would stop.
Your method helped only you, and you were bloody lucky. In other cases the bullying would have just gotten worse, much worse.

No clue, but I very much doubt the figure.
100 million lines is more than in a normal Linux installation (with OS, openoffice, gnome/kde, firefox, etc.)

Pull cat6a, the price difference to 5e is small compared to the trouble.
As it happens, I actually can do a decent job of managing people. The problem is that I'd rather flip burgers.
Well, I can do a reasonable job of managing people. The "problem" is that I'm much better at coding (& designing, debugging, ...).
A bit different from you, but close enough, I think. Though I'm a bit older and not looking for a career change.

The change in CO2 level is certainly NOT slow and gradual.
This is what I am worried the second most in global scale. It can have huge consequences, AGW being one.
Just that AGW, CO2, pollution, etc. are peanuts compared to over population.

Is that science?
What? Only nine thousand PhDs??? Wow, this must be humbug!
Beside, claiming only PhDs know what they are talking about is a bit ... elitists, to put it nicely.
You mean "Exuberant Ctags", don't you?
No. Don't read the code, it is mostly waste of time.

USA and Canada belong into same economic area too .. it is called "NAFTA".
So "as much as Canada has to say about USA matters" is pretty close.
Err ... Norway has nothing to say in EU. That is, about as much as Canada has about USA.
But you were protect against the horrible terrorists in the Icesave case, weren't you?
Thanks for telling me what I meant.
SOL == those who lose at fight "deserve it"?
Oh fuck!
I wanted to address the idea that violence is the only way out.
I never implied that it "never" is a good thing.
Are you really implying bullying can be overcome only with more violence?
There are people who cannot, or do not want to, fight. What your advice to them is? "Get a character" or some other bullshit? "Passive nonsense people" ... what an asshole you are!
This must be the worst advice ever.
The problem is not with the bullied. The problem is the bullier. Should the school punish the bullier by moving him/her to another school the bullying would stop.
