    So we should probably be thankful that "web app scanners catch half of vulnerabilities".

  3. Re:so whats the problem? on Wolf In Political Ad's Clothing · · Score: 1

    Passing infinite costs on to the citizenry rather than reduce "entitlements" to the sick/lame/lazy or reduce an inflated and over-payed unionized workforce (which does decreasing amounts of work as time goes on) is tax-and-spend, not fiscal conservatism.

    But yeah, the look-and-feel of this ad is sad-funny as hell.

    It's just pandering to the selfishness of the average voter.

    The liberal approach, pandering to the selfishness of the woe-is-me crowd, is a better alternative?

    the imagery is silly, but this guy DID campaign on fiscal conservatism while his actions in office were the opposite.

    california's budget problems aren't just his fault, it's a case study of liberal infinite government growth and public-sector labor union power. still, his his a fcino.

    they herded us into the library of my elementary school to watch the launch. I must have been in 3rd grade or so.

    The teachers hurriedly ushered us back into class when the "space ship" was "done". Most of us came away thinking a shuttle launch was supposed to look like that.

  8. Your thoughts??? on Review: Mass Effect 2 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Read on for the rest of my thoughts.

    you mean your inner monologue actually sounds like a press release / paid game review?

    BioWare listened closely to player feedback, promising to revamp the parts of the game that needed improvement while developing the sequel. They didn't hesitate to refine the elements they wanted to keep and do away with the ones they didn't. The result is a familiar, but much more streamlined experience.

  15. Re:Death of the Adverb on The Apple Paradox, Closed Culture & Free-Thinking Fans · · Score: 1

    Throughout my Jr. High English days, we were given lists of words with which we would have to find errors: spelling errors, non-existent words, what have you.

    "Irregardless" was presented to me so often that the word, which would have never entered my lexicon otherwise, would become like a conditioned response. Like in A Clockwork Orange.

    Irregardless, to me, belongs with proactive, orientate, and historical in the list of words with superfluous prefixes and suffixes.

    What meaning does "historical" convey that "historic" doesn't?

    The other day I saw a news paper ad for a bank that read, "Anyone can join our exclusive club".

  17. Re:Routers and IPvx on IPv4 Free Pool Drops Below 10%, 1.0.0.0/8 Allocated · · Score: 1

    huh?

    If you are talking about gateway routers, they have at least 2 interfaces. One interface must be in the subnet it gateways, the interface linking to the next router usually uses a private non-routable like 10...., 176.16...., or 192.168.... I see no way to claim back any routable IP's from the routers themselves. And even if you could, you are only getting back one address per subnet.

    deprecating broadcast and making the last address on the subnet a valid host address would be about as feasible. which is to say, it ain't gonna happen.

    seeing as how a foot wouldn't usually do any shooting, it makes no sense for the foot object to have a shoot behavior. better composition would be gun.shoot('foot'); or something like that.

    I think the land mine, man-portable anti-armor weapons, and IEDs in all their forms will probably fill that gap more economically for the foreseeable future.
