  1. Re: As the song asks... on Ask Slashdot: Is an Online Identity Important When Searching For Technical Jobs? · · Score: 1

    But they are all build on the system of: load debts on your citizens so they have to conform.

  2. Re: As the song asks... on Ask Slashdot: Is an Online Identity Important When Searching For Technical Jobs? · · Score: 1

    We pay for a lot of heath necessities though. Drugs, prescription glasses, dental, probably a few others. All necessary heath things that we pay for.

    They are not the same. Different varieties of the same plant.
    Smoking hemp would be about equivalent to smoking a handful of straw.

    Well if he is like any other average Western worker, I would guess it is probably because he has credit card and post-secondary loans coming out the wazoo, and if he does not get a job soon he will probably be living on the street unable to afford food or medical care?

  5. Re:TM, are you kidding me? on How I Got Fired From the Job I Invented · · Score: 1

    That is interesting. The IP thief themselves trade mark it, their for admitting that what they did was theft.

  6. Or they are bad at judging OTJ performance on Google Respins Its Hiring Process For World Class Employees · · Score: 1

    Let us not forget that judging how well someone is doing at their job is not necessarily any easier than judging how well they would do from an interview.
    Who knows where the randomness comes from. Maybe they are pretty bad at both categories, but also are not horrible. Maybe their style of interview is as good or better than most, but they are just shitty at judging on the job performance.

    Lets just not pretend that they are 100% accurate at measuring everything except for interviewee skill.

  7. Its legality is unknown ... on Brazilian Government To Monitor Social Media To Counter Recent Riots · · Score: 1

    But it is specifically illegal by Brazilian law?
    So where does the unknown come in? Is it unknown if Brazilian law applies to the Brazilian CIA?

  8. DIY for disabled people? on A Simple DIY Game Controller For People With Physical Challenges · · Score: 0

    Isn't that the problem in the first place, that they cannot do anything for themselves?

  9. Re:Guilty pleasures on PHP 5.5.0 Released · · Score: 1

    "it tends to keep executing code even when it shouldn't" and exit unexpectedly when you do not want it to.
    You could not make a language handle exceptions any worse than PHP.

  10. Re:Guilty pleasures on PHP 5.5.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I love Perl for its regular expression use. It is so incredibly easy to do so many things after you realise how easy Perl makes RE use. I also think how it handles classes is cute, if not all that usable. But the rest of the language is pretty much crap.

    PHP is quite nice, but does a bunch of stuff a little off and is quite general at everything,

  11. Great, even more versions of php I cannot use. on PHP 5.5.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Being stuck developing on other peoples servers.

    One thing I found very strange was how much it matters. It is surprising how many necessary, basic features have just been added.

  12. Re:PHP 6.0 without the stupid? on PHP 5.5.0 Released · · Score: 1

    is_null and isset for example. I hate these functions. From what I understand someone thought it was a good idea to copy some C function names, which I think just makes the inconsistency worse.

  13. Re:Not good enough. on Aaron's Law Would Revamp Computer Fraud Penalties · · Score: 1

    You would think that even if someone plead guilty, and it was not just for a plea agreement, you would still have a trial. People admit to crimes they did not commit constantly, just because someone admits their guilt that does not give you very much evidence that they actually did it.

  14. Re:I wouldn't mind it if... on Lawmakers Try To Block Black Box Technology In Cars, DVR Tracking · · Score: 1

    Umm. If your car was rear ended that hard, then there is already far more graphic and undeniable proof that it was not use. Specifically, your wretched rear bumper and the wrecked car behind you.

  15. Re:Not a concern on Are You Sure This Is the Source Code? · · Score: 1

    I do not actually think it would be possible to know everything that a modern binary converted to assembly does. It is hard enough reading someone elses code, but we are talking about something 5000 times longer, and infinitely more complex than that. So I doubt it is even theoretically possible at that stage. We are talking about medium sized programs becoming 50 million lines long, we are talking about functions and classes not existing, and execution jumping all over the place wherever and whenever it wants. And code not written by a human being, but spit out by a computer.

    "If you suspect foul play, you need to do a full analysis (assembler-level or at least decompiled) anyways."

  17. Re:Not a concern on Are You Sure This Is the Source Code? · · Score: 1

    So will comparing assembly level code, unless you re-create exactly the same build environment. That is often infeasible.

  18. Re:Are You Sure This Is the Source Code? on Are You Sure This Is the Source Code? · · Score: 1

    But given that the optimization phase of compiling/building can be significant, and their are lots of different optimization options; Why would you not just be better to leave that up to code maintainers?

  19. Re:Not a concern on Are You Sure This Is the Source Code? · · Score: 1

    With the optimization going on at compile time I do not see an assembler level analysis necessarily giving you any more information than a binary compare of the binaries.

    This is surprisingly funny. ^^^

  21. Is it a White collar Resort Prison? on Pirate Bay Founder Sentenced To Jail · · Score: 1

    Or a Federal pound me in the ass prison?

  22. Re:If you do the math... on Pirate Bay Founder Sentenced To Jail · · Score: 1

    That is not bad. If I know I knew I would only get 7 months of jail time I would run a PB like website

  23. Re:weeeeak on 2 Men Accused of Trying To Make X-Ray Weapon · · Score: 1

    Doubtful since pretty much every house in the US has a Xray machine that would kill anything exposed to it quite quickly.
    If they could focus the power into a directed laser like beam it would already be powerful enough.

  24. Why so much? on Microsoft Launches $100k Bug Bounty Program · · Score: 1

    So up to a short time ago people did this for free? But now they are worth 100K a pop?

  25. Re:Wow, just wow. on KWin Maintainer: Fanboys and Trolls Are the Cancer Killing Free Software · · Score: 1

    I think it would be very cool to volunteer at some point for a project. I guess one hard part would be finding a project that you both like, but is also not complete. Who wants to volunteer for a project that all they do is add bloat and change perfectly fine features into experimental strange designs.
