That's from heating the sperm in your testicles to the point that they die. Unless you keep your sperm in your ear, or your cell-phone directly on your crotch, you should be fine.
Along the same lines, where I used to work we had some n00bs (one really) that would su, do his or her work, and then leave the lab, completely forgetting the exit part. On any given day, you could walk in the lab and see root prompts up on at least half the boxes.
There are a hundred things wrong with this scenario. I know. That's why I quit. I don't need to hear them all. Mind the forest, not the trees.

Yes yes, +1. I really dug how Flynn wanted to make a perfect, open, free system for everyone, and the evil capitalists took it and over-charged for it. Pretty cool message for a Hollywood film. Even referenced that the only difference between releases was the release number. I was half-expecting that the Encom was the reason Flynn went missing, that some corporate henchman trapped him in the machine.
And every computer shown in the movie was Unix based...

Thankfully, I can think of nothing else that will get the average American more in a tiff than their chosen source of entertainment suddenly not working.
Don't mention gay marriage or legalizing pot. I may be slightly off topic here, but only/.ers and the like will know who to blame, and why to be mad. And that's not the average American. We're lucky if we make up 5%.
If only we could become the archetypal American, Joe the IT guy, as opposed to Joe the plumber.
You're attempting to extend property rights such that they provide privacy. I don't think that works, except in cases of Intellectual Property, wherein the idea itself has monetary value and can therefore be "stolen" simply by being seen. But the only way to legally protect your IP is to disclose it via the patent office, so still no.
I own a car. Yes, I am about to make a car-Facebook analogy. I am very sorry.
If you look at my car, you haven't violated my property rights. If you write down my license plate, you haven't violated my property rights. If, from my bumper stickers and whatnot, you determine that I have a kid named Billy who plays football, a daughter named, Billy, who plays cello, that one of my kids is an honor-roll student (Billy, most likely), that I have a wife, that I most likely voted for Ralph Nader in 2004, and from the make and model of the car ascertain with reasonable certainty which socio-economic bracket I fit, you still have not violated any of my Constitutional Rights. Would it be creepy? Yes. The same is true of gathering info on Facebook, message boards, etc.
However, if you set your privacy settings and they circumvent them, that's totally different, and may fall under DMCA protection, since "You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings." [Facebook terms of use: http://www.facebook.com/terms.php ]
There's no general right of privacy guaranteed by the Constitution or any other U.S. document. We're generally protected from Search and Seizure. There are only specific privacies guaranteed, such as medical records and school records.
Courts have ruled that there is no expectation of privacy for e-mail. It's not a far stretch to say that covers Facebook and other social networking sites as well. It immediately includes those sites when the user has e-mail notifications enabled.
It's not spying. Maybe information-gathering. We can only call it spying if they're actually playing "I spy."
I spy with my little agent eyes, something slutty.
I had a customer the other day open up a ticket because he wasn't seeing data for the last two days. I checked the logs, and sure enough, it looked like our product just STOPPED 2 days before. Turns out, they had the date set wrong on the box.
Absolutely go with number one. I'm not sure what everyone else's background is, but I was surprised to see so many people supporting the second option over the first.
If you haven't had discrete, you WILL need it as a programmer.
Set theory is useful for more than just DB theory, as suggested by some here. Set theory is what your brain goes through when you create complex if-else statements, case-switch statements, etc.
You'll probably get modded down as flame, as you suggested, and you won't get a notification of my reply since you're anon, but I felt compelled to reply anyway.
1) It's a bit presumptuous to assume that I buy everything that Apple makes because it is "hip." I bought my Mac mini because I wanted a Unix system that my wife felt comfortable using. I don't like having multiple boxes. I don't like running virtual machines. I run Linux everywhere I can, laptops, work, and so forth, but for my home machine, I just want to check my e-mail, surf the web, and listen to music. Oh, and if I can/need to drop to a terminal, awesome.
2) If LaLa goes down, I'll probably get a refund. See Yahoo music store closing for details/precedent.
3) I'd rather license the stream because of [see original post]. I like NOT using up half my frickin harddrive on songs that I'll listen to maybe 6 times a year.
4) My experience with LaLa has been awesome. I pay less for music than I ever have before. My music is available from any web-enabled computer. I can use any modern web browser. I don't have to use proprietary software, specific hardware, or be running a specific operating system. I choose to give LaLa money because I felt that they really understood my needs as a consumer, and offered at an extremely palatable price. They have profitability issues, as many startups do, so if Apple's acquisition can keep them up and running for longer, I'm for it.
5) Like everyone else on/., my money is not hard-earned. We're geeks. We do what we love and get paid well. I sit in an office. I don't shovel anything, lift anything, sweat, or get sore muscles.
5) People that work for Microsoft, Apple, etc. don't drive Fords. They drive Priuses, Escalades, or imports. Just like the rest of us on/., except for the college kids, who will soon enough.
6) We, the people, are the government. It's not some scary guy in a dark suit that you've never met. It's you and me. We're the corrupt and/or stupid ones. Let's all keep that in mind.
As a Mac owner and iPod/iTunes user AND a [the only?] paying LaLa customer, I'd be absolutely thrilled if this led to tighter integration between the two products.
Right now, I have iTunes that I use to update my iPod and LaLa which I primarily use to listen to music when I'm on ANY web connected computer. I use LaLa over iTunes at home because I have streams for some songs that I have a paid license to listen to on LaLa that I didn't pay the extra 79 cents to download, so they aren't available in my iTunes.
With LaLa, if I have an internet connection, I can listen to my songs and streams from anywhere, which means I don't need copies of all of my MP3s (or whatever) on my laptop, my work machine, my home machine, etc. It's amazing, and stream licenses are only 10 cents per song.
LaLa also provides a music mover app, which watches my iTunes directory and automatically unlocks the streams in LaLa of the tracks of whatever CD I just imported on iTunes.
Suffice it to say, I love it, and if they integrated the two products, I'd love it even more.
AES is better than DES, I agree. So does NIST, et al. But as far as the key length argument, double and triple DES are not the same as DES with a longer key. Longer key would involve running DES once, with a longer key. Double DES (which no one uses because of a discovered flaw) and triple DES involved encrypting the same message twice/three times* with different keys.
Just to be clear and complete, 3DES runs encrypt with key one, decrypt with key two, and encrypt again with key three.
2) Let's assume you have an answer to 1). The exploit involves dumping text to a public message. If your bank has any sort of messaging feature, it's private. Hell, if your tweets are private on twitter, you were never in danger in the first place.
Oh good. We're totally fine. It only works on sites that are poorly designed. And Twitter's been patched, so that leaves, well, I guess no one.

Most of the developers I know (myself included) should just be placed in a box with a spec sheet and left to code. All of this process mess is for the management and the "architects."
The older ones are, for sure. But geekiness and intelligence are more chic, sexy, and important today, which is evident in our cultural artifacts (TV shows like Numb3rs, Bones, House, etc all glorify the super-smart). Developers my age (20-something to 30-something) by and large have seemed a pretty hip and trendy crowd. Some of the 40-somethings I work with, weird as shit.
