I really don't think it matters if it pops up somewhere else. At least it's not popping up on their site causing it to look like a bunch of dim bulbs and spam trash everywhere.
I also think you hold scientists up on a false pedestal. They don't think they are all that and what you may have thought of, they already thought of a decade ago. There is nothing the masses can offer that they haven't already thought of or tried because it 'might just work'. There are probably a few who can add to the table, but they are in school right now working on their PhD for their field of study ready to put their ideas to the test when they start their science career.
I have a friend who, when he gets out of college, has been promised a job at well known electronics company with a salary around $70k.
[citation needed]
Sorry, I don't buy the "my friend is being offered $70k/year straight out of college, but wants to work for Blizzard instead" line. I'm gonna call bullshit on this one.
Imma have to agree with you on this too. I have never heard of anyone making that 'right out of college'. Maybe within a few years if you're good at that thing you do, hit a great idea or are one of the rare prodigies.
However, if this is true, I'd say, 'take the 70k job, work a few yrs to get some experience and then move on to follow your dreams.' That's what I did. Not with programming though.
Yes, I did RTFA. I've done things like this before when I was doing industrial hacking back in the late 90s. I understand the joy they were getting from doing this job and succeeding. What is creepy is how he worded it.
"Three guys sitting in a room, hacking away, watching porn, and getting paid to do it — life was good," Then he added "The only thing missing was the beer."
I just see it different. Could also be the fact that when I worked with a team in those days, it was always remote with the others scattered across the country and it wasn't hacking cable companies, but routers. So, there was no TV.
Bothered me when I read that too. One thing I never want to hear is, "You all got boners too?"
I've never watched porn with other guys, nor has any one of my male friends asked if I wanted to watch some porn with them.
I'm sorry, but watching porn is a private thing.
I have built 2 brand new systems in the last year. About to build a Haswell when Summer is over. I always add a video card because I can't stand on-board video. I even had to put a wireless card in one of my systems where an ethernet cable was not an option. I think it has slowed down, but there is still a large crowd out there. I even see it gathering people where it never has before. Console gamers are moving to build there own computers for expandability, options, and control over their own system. The n00b builders such as, my son, who wanted a computer. He asked me before 3rd grade and I told him to bring home good grades. He did and I bought parts and showed him how to put it together and he did it all by himself. So, I guess that brings the tally to 3 systems in the last year.:)
It would help if the manufacturers would preinfect their software so we could stop worry about "if" we are infected and move towards just accepting it.
This is actually happening with phones now. just read some of the permissions of Facebook, Chrome, Firefox and a few others. They can take a photo or record audio without your permission.
Virtual Box is lightweight and it won't matter if they are root. A VM eliminates all that trouble.
"Oh you crashed the hell out of that machine, didn't you? oh well, reinstall."
Since you are segregating the network they will have no outside access and no re...WTF am I saying?...VLANs
And if you truly have the disorder or knew someone that truly has it, you wouldn't make that comment. I have it and so does my son. We are not rich and the medications we take for it are incredibly helpful. They work and we are able to get shit done without having the most trivial things distracting us.
Smart ones don't drown themselves in alcohol as it has more adverse effects over time than just forgetting what happened the night before. I prefer to watch a good movie at the theater, but haven't done that in ages. Not because I don't have the money either. However, IF I did have the money I would possibly fly near to or drive to a landmark of some sort to take in the scenery. Come to the Dallas area. The Blue Bonnets among other flowers are in full bloom right now and it's absolutely beautiful.
I upgraded my MacBook Pro from 4 to 8GB RAM and from a 500GB HDD to a 128SSD and it is like a new comp. It boots in 7seconds rather than 40 seconds. The SSD is what made it all the new.
I then built two desktops with the same SSD drive. All the same parts except one AMD and the other Intel. They are wicked fast because of SSD.
I used to tell folks that adding RAM would be their best speed upgrade, but now I tell them that an SSD is the best speed upgrade.
When Muzzies are concerned its a relief when they only want to hack your computer. More often they want to murder unbelievers

Being able to get a legit copy of any flavor of Windows 7 for 20$ is still awesome though and makes building a system cheaper. Especially in the 400$ range.

well said ...Take me with you.
Then get busted for terrorism if caught? yeah, I'd rather do it 'legally'. err, I should say 'with permission'.

I think this comment can serve as an example of why they are halting comments.
Someone mod this UP! If I only had some points :/
I too was thinking that the nebulae and myself have something in common.

I thought it was hilarious when he said he invented the internet.
adblock plus? done :/

Nice Queen reference.

Best response I have heard all day.

I think you are looking for "TCBY"
/. Has become officially retarded.... I am done with it now...
Reminds me of my dad always breaking shit when he tried to fix it. Then he actually fixed something and we flipped our shit!

Oh damn! I thought I was just back in 2006 and Vista was released...
Big surprise!
Except for the iranian part.
