  1. Blame Algor on Chinese Man Gets 30 Months For Fake Cisco Sales · · Score: 1

    FTFA - In recent years, some security experts have begun to see counterfeiting as a growing threat to the nation's network infrastructure.

    So let me get this straight - it's Ebay that is to blame for nations internet structure, Not Al Gore and certainly not the sysadmin that just installed a shiny bargain basement Dink switch at the NAP?

    From my half-hearted attempts, it's easier to build up from a net install of Debian than to strip down a highly customized Ubuntu.

    The other argument you can consider is Debian doesn't do shit vs. Ubuntu keeps breaking shit.

    There, now I've pissed everybody off.

    Probably not crack, He just doesn't understand percentages. So he doesn't understand that people who make $10,000/mo live in $1,000,000 houses. Arguments like his reveal that poor people misunderstand the rich much more than the rich misunderstand the poor.

    Doesn't matter, flat tax or not, political ponzi schemes are still the most favored. It doesn't matter how Caesar gets his tribute, so long as he gets it.

    More likely, They are charging us to ship us our hazardous cadmium waste under the guise of "cheap disposal" and then using it as raw material to sell product back to us by the boatload.

    Much to my chagrin, in my travels, I have met a disproportionate number of criminally stupid Americans compared to criminally stupid Chinese. (Or maybe I've become hopelessly disenfranchised).

    i agree, it was presumptuous of him to assume that his assumption was based on fact. Clearly, it was simply a narrowly defined bad presumption. His cited example of the grand central dispatch shows why -- "...Apple states that 15 instructions are required to queue up a work unit in GCD, while creating a traditional thread could easily require several hundred instructions." See how a well defined argument is better than a generalized presumption?

    Anyway, I actually learned a little today, Either way you look at it, it's only 48, when they get to 640 - that should be enough for either of you.

    I know several that do. They pump out several web pages in a month that match your criteria. They also think the ACID test is something you take before writing a web page. Which probably explains the use of the 16 million color palette as well...

    Here is an easy litmus test for any programmer that has ever written 1000 lines of code. Take any two programs one as an example how to do it right, and another how to do it wrong. Which one looks more like your code?

    Taking shortcuts and writing other "novel" hacks isn't being lazy. It's more of being stupid becuase you haven't practiced enough doing it the right way to be good and quick at it.

    Finally, Programmers, engineers and manufactures should be forced to use their own products, like a slumlord who is forced to live in one of their own apartments.
