It's fun to charter an accountant
And sail the wide accountancy,
To find, explore the funds offshore
And skirt the shoals of bankruptcy!
It can be manly in insurance.
We'll up your premium semi-annually.
It's all tax deductible.
We're fairly incorruptible,
We're sailing on the wide accountancy!
Oh, this is fun, Mr. Cohen!
Sail away!...
Up, up, up...
Fetch me another exotic salute. To port! Bring her port to shell out! And the medium guys shell out to port! Balance the books! Bring me another small shellfish, Mr. Cohen...
Okay... now factor in the cost of a secret underground lair, and my evil plan to rule the world is almost complete. There's only one tiny little problem.
It's not just the words though. It's the page that the user gets directed to that should determine intent.
If that result directed me to the iPwn page with a side-by-side comparison to the iPhone and if the iPwn had a distinct look that set it apart from Apple then, in my opinion, there's no foul.
On the other hand, if the iPwn site is a direct ripoff of the Apple site and/or the Apple product isn't even mentioned on the page the user is directed to, then there is a problem.
I've been doing code reviews for PHP novices and sub-contractors lately and it's had it's/facepalm moments.
I did have the pleasure of introducing them to little bobby tables though.

PHP 5.3 Released
·
· Score: 1
Version 1 & 2 of PHP was a Perl library and was originally named "Personal Home Page Form Processor". That's the original source of the sigil in front of the vars ( and the name "PHP" and a lot of other holdovers ). Version 3 was converted to C.
*sigh* Someone a few posts up basically said this: "A language so simple an idiot can us it... so a lot of idiots do.". Sadly, I have to agree. A majority don't know what SQL injection or HTTP Response Splitting is.
But doesn't that only reduce that attacks of opportunity? The script kiddie with their 1337 hax software? Couldn't someone just look at the responses and determine what software is running and just submit the generated password twice?
You do realize that someone reading slashdot right at this moment is probably wondering how to move their mouse with their mind?
However, I was a steel worker for a year a long time ago and if my former co-workers were the general audience on slashdot, I'd think they'd tell you where to stick it.
Sweeping generalizations about an entire population will get you into trouble. It's the conclusion made by the ignorant and leads to such brilliant statements such as "All Arabs are Terroists"
If you do it right, there is nothing wrong with "some assembly required", even in current times.... Ikea made/makes a fortune out of it.
That's a frightening thought because we all know how the typical Ikea assembly goes. I'm going to propose a scenario and then ask a question.
The Scenario
You are in the passenger seat of your friends new Ikea car that they just assembled and they are proudly showing off. You're cruising down the highway and during the inspection of the interior, you open the glove box and see a pile of leftover fasteners, nuts and bolts.
Now the question
At what speed would you open the passenger door and bail out?
I'm sorry you're too weak to actually do anything. I"m glad taking pot shots on slashdot is doing you a lot of good since you chose to do that than spend your time actually learning how to do something ---- work a wrench? use a pair of pliers? What is this?!?! OH! Foreign objects! You, too, can do shit on your own. The money you think will always pay for it will not always be there -- even your trust fund can burn in a fire.
I guess you've got something intellectual to deliver, something of real value (mind you, your words pass through the 'net like a fart in the wind, but your labor on a car might get you something useful to you). Nevermind that. Let's hear some more effort.
While I agree with you that the cost isn't as high, Sprocket is correct. I'm also going to point out that you contributed nothing as well with this last straw man argument and you just added more fart gas to the internet.
Does the 12k include the cost of the tools and facilities needed to assemble one?
How long did it take your friend's father to build it?
Finally, I don't want to be on the road with someone who bought "Electric Cars for Dummies" and doesn't even know what the phrase "Stress Fracture" means let alone inspect for one on the VW bug chassis they got at a discount at a scrap yard. Quite frankly, I'm very happy with them that they don't even make the attempt.
Line 10 - Complain that the U.S. Government is not doing enough to help us lead in the Tech sector.
Line 20 - Complain when the U.S. Government actually risks money putting it into a technology, industry and with a US company that is making headway in a technological field.
Line 30 - goto 10.
And the U.S. Government, stuck in the perpetual tug of war between Line 10 & Line 20, executes the program perfectly and comes in second best. A mediocracy where trying to be in first place is to much of a risk, but heck, we also ensure we don't come in last.
Damn. I'd have to fly around DC and land by Andrews AFB. Flares and chaff are not on the option list. I don't think I can order that stuff from JC Whitney's either. Perhaps Uncle Al's?
You don't need to understand auto mechanics to know whether a car was stolen or not. The argument of whether, or what, you need to understand to understand whether a song was stolen or not is not, in fact, obvious.
But out of many identical cars, a mechanic would come in handy if someone were to claim that your car was theirs simply because their stolen car looks exactly the same as yours.
The comment was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Relax.
With you suggestion though, I suspect that they may end up as a guest on a mid-day talk show on the lifetime channel. "It all started back in '09 when somebody, on a site called 'slashdot', mentioned that I take up sex as a hobby rather than video games... "
Stick with WoW OP, it's hella' a lot cheaper then women anyway. Unless, of course, you can find one who is also into video games. Then go for it.
It begs the question though, has anybody been taken to domestic court for ninja'ing purples from their spouse? Better safe than sorry OP if you do find one, make her sign a pre-nuptial agreement on the lootz.
Hell, if you put the same time into talking to girls that you did playing WoW, you'd probably have sex, which is better than a +1 sword of compensatingforsomethingosity.
The fact that you posting on/. in an submission under games makes the above statement ring hollow.

That would have really messed them up ( heck, I think I'd be messed up after that ).
Okay... now factor in the cost of a secret underground lair, and my evil plan to rule the world is almost complete. There's only one tiny little problem.
Is anybody else wondering what you would get to spend and turn the charge into a negative?
Probably the transaction charge was handled in another sub-routine and was correctly handled.
There's no "Funny" in "Flamebait". To bad there isn't a "Mediocre" mod.
...and the submission's title.
There's a joke here. I just know it...
Think... think... think....
Nope, can't think of one.

I'll let it pass. Would this following statement sum up your point?
"A mediocracy where trying to be in first place is to much of a risk, but heck, we also ensure we don't come in last."
But doesn't that only reduce that attacks of opportunity? The script kiddie with their 1337 hax software? Couldn't someone just look at the responses and determine what software is running and just submit the generated password twice?

Not a clue as to what he was grumbling about.
Line 10 - Complain that the U.S. Government is not doing enough to help us lead in the Tech sector.

You remind me of my Dad in 1975 when new cars were required to have catalytic converters and could no longer use leaded gas.
SWEET! Now the morning commut ....
Wait...
Damn. I'd have to fly around DC and land by Andrews AFB. Flares and chaff are not on the option list. I don't think I can order that stuff from JC Whitney's either. Perhaps Uncle Al's?

I've been on the waiting list for one, like, forever.
When you consider 1000 gold in WoW sells for about $3 and right now GM stock is trading at about $1.10 per share on the NYSE, it's inevitable.
