Who is better for the economy - one person earning $13 million and spending $4 million or 260 people earning $13 million and spending $12 million?
Um, you’re not even comparing the same economy. One of them has $13m earned / $4m spent, the other has $3.38b earned / $3.12b spent. That’s a bit like asking which is better for the economy – being the United States of America, or being Somalia?
While we’re on the subject of pointless questions, which is better for the economy – one person investing $4 million in apples or 260 people investing $12 million in oranges?
kids are lazy, people are stupid, music is bad, etc, etc, etc.
If we’re generalizing, I’d have to say that’s true.
If we’re trying to be a little more objective, I guess I’d say, whether it’s true or false generally, either way it’s an impression that’s partly caused by the huge standard deviation and the instantaneous global publicity that the worst of the dumb/lazy/bad tends to get. But still... your argument wasn’t particularly convincing.
A surprisingly large number of popular applications — including Quicktime, Foxit Reader, Google Picasa, OpenOffice.org, RealPlayer, and VLC Player — all neglect to use one or the other, a recent review by Secunia found.
Guess what? I don’t CARE. Bulletproof code doesn’t need DEP/ASLR, and shitty code (as we’ve seen) can manage to use DEP/ASLR and still be exploitable.
DEP is not a mandatory security feature. It is an opt-in feature to help avoid buffer underrun. As buffer underrun is always caused by badly-written code in the first place, DEP is a feature by which lousy programmers can try to protect themselves from their own lousy code.
If you want to produce a quality, stable, well-written application (such as VLC) and you opt-out of DEP for portions of it or all of it, more power to you.
If you want to produce a shitty, unstable, slow, bloated exploitable piece of crap (such as QuickTime or RealPlayer), more power to you too – but I’ll be using VLC and SMPlayer.
I'm not saying the interpretation (in my previous post) is correct, just that it can be interpreted that way. If the Courts interpreted the 2A the way you do, then a lot of gun restrictions wouldn't exist.
It’s not a matter of interpreting it how he, I, you, or anyone else in particular would interpret it today. It’s a matter of interpreting it how the writers intended it to be interpreted when they wrote it.
No, it doesn’t make more sense... why did you explain why Americans use fluid ounces by referring to UK gallons and fluid ounces, which are different than US ones?
If you’re in America, cilantro refers to the leaves, and coriander to the seed – Wikipedia even says as much:
The leaves are variously referred to as coriander leaves, Chinese parsley, cilantro (in America, from the Spanish for the plant).... The dry fruits are known as coriander seeds, coriandi seeds, or, in South Africa, dhania. The word coriander in food preparation may refer solely to these seeds (as a spice), rather than to the plant itself.
Whether or not they came from the same plant, the two are entirely different.
The leaves have a different taste from the seeds, with citrus overtones. Some perceive an unpleasant "soapy" taste or a rank smell and avoid the leaves.... The seeds have a lemony citrus flavour when crushed, due to terpenes linalool and pinene. It is described as warm, nutty, spicy, and orange-flavored.
ASLR and DEP are not “keystone OS security” features designed to protect the OS from malicious applications.
They are, in fact, “opt-in” security features designed to protect applications from malicious input which could cause a buffer underrun (and this is always an application error, not an OS error).

Jurors aren’t supposed to think, they’re supposed to know. And how exactly can you know until you’ve heard both sides of the case?
Or had a bone to pick.
Maybe because he wants to make sure his dad gets a fair trial?
+1 hell yes.

It didn’t, so it clearly isn’t clearly anything of the sort.

Had Clinton bit his lip and said "yeah, I screwed up, my bad..."
...that would have shown some actual integrity and honesty...
it would have all stopped there
...well, I rather seriously doubt that.

Just for the record, your excessive use of ALL CAPS and exclamation points!! does not benefit the argument that your posts are not FUD.

Meaning, mods have done zero confirmatory investigation before "doing their job."
You assume?
Or they could have done a quick Google search beforehand. How do you know they didn’t?
Oh, and apparently he was suspended, not fired.

They actually try to do that?
Isn’t the easy (and obvious) way to shield your anonymous sources still to just actually not know who they are?

What do I speak, then? My supermarket has cilantro.
And lemon zest is the same thing as lemon juice.

Hm seems to the that other programs had this too. Like VLC!!
Nice FUD... neither of TFAs mentioned VLC or VideoLan player. I checked.
So, citation needed.
Except that you’re completely wrong, of course.
ASLR and DEP are not “keystone OS security” features designed to protect the OS from malicious applications.
They are, in fact, “opt-in” security features designed to protect applications from malicious input which could cause a buffer underrun (and this is always an application error, not an OS error).
