We'll never win this fight. How about we make up a new word for "hackers", and let it go? It happened to the best words... that's why it is good we have a symbolic language, mostly - easy to switch signs.
Maybe code artists? code artisans? cartists?
I'm hoping the price for TL1 will drop. I don't mind being a gen behind, especially if I can get it at a great price.
If you pre-order TL2 on Steam, you get TL1 for free. Unless of course, this was some short-term deal when I pre-ordered. I'm not at home now so I can't check.
Wow. You have all this anger for Anonymous, but nothing for Sony? This is TWICE this has happened. Recently. Given Sony's track record, it will probably happen two or three more times before they even assign someone to form a committee to select members for a another committee to start hashing out plans (pun intended) to see if there might be a problem with account security.
I can totally picture this happening to you: You give a security guard a bag of money and ask him to watch it. He sets it beside the chair he is sitting in and takes a nap. While napping, someone steals your money. You wake the guard up when you come back for it, and find out it is no longer there. You then rant and rave about the 'petulant children stealing stuff', then thank him and pay him for keeping it 'safe'. After all, it isn't his fault, right? It's those pesky petulant children!
How well does the screen/font sizes work? I imagine that if I had the text at a font that was readable without holding the phone 4 inches from my face, I would have to change pages every 30 seconds.
I have a Droid RAZR (4.3" display I think?). The text formatting has a few options. You can raise/lower the font size, choose how it is displayed on the screen (width), and also choose spacing (3 different modes). You do, even with tight spacing/wide screen/small font, have to turn the page often, but it only takes a tap on the screen of the direction you want to go, or you can set it to use volume controls to turn pages. I prefer small text, so I enjoy reading from the phone, and the page turning isn't noticable really once you use it a while.
How much power does the phone app use? For a 2-3 hour reading session, will I need to be tethered to a wall to keep my phone from dying?
Not much power at all. I usually read an hour or two before bed at night, and with the RAZR of all phones, it doesn't wear the battery much at all. This is in combination with using the Smart Actions app to turn things off I am currently not using (4G, etc).
How well does outdoor reading work? Is the text legible on a bright, sunny day?
I can't speak too much to this, as any 'outdoor' reading I do is either on my back covered patio, or sitting in a car. You can control the brightness of the screen, as well as use one of three different color schemes: white background and black text, beige backgroupd with slightly darker text, or black background and white text.
I have a Kindle, but rarely use it. I find it easier to read everything on my cell phone, which I always have with me. Get the Kindle app for your phone, a nice case (I use Otterbox), and you have all your books without extra gadgets to carry around.
It wasn't the commentator that bothered me. It was the "alec baldwin" look-alike that kept interrupting and pacing back and forth. Surely he was the useless manager pretending to know what was happening. (and accepting praise for success)
Much of the world runs on Siemens programming.
This makes me very scared.
Most of my experience is with Siemens Health Care Solutions. The fact that the world is running on Siemens makes me scared, outside the viruses. Just the POS quality Siemens puts out. I don't know how you people can sleep at night.
After Organgtool's post, reading this just has me in hysterics. Siemens Health Care, viruses, quality. So much good stuff. wipes tears
You don't pay people to not have jobs, you pay them to keep them going while they look for another job. With the money they themselves paid into the system during their time of employment, and that all of us pay in case of this exact scenario.
I was in this situation not too long ago. Lost my job after 6 1/2 years, and was on unemployment. Found a job after about two months. Went through the interview process, got selected about a total of four months later. Go to my recruiter to sign paperwork, find out the job went away as the two gov depts couldn't decide on who would actually manage the position, pay for clearance, etc. So, four months down the tube, basically. And since I had the job, I didn't look the last two.
Then, about three months later, find a temp job (30 day assignment, but good for the resume (FISMA documentation of a network trying to get in compliance)). That job ended, then shortly after began interviewing for my current position.
In the end, the system I have paid into for years finally benefitted me. If I didn't have savings, I probably would have went under, as the weekly checks were a huge pay cut. I honestly can't imagine having to live on just that amount of money, though. If you have to, I guess you have to, as bad things happen to good people and the situation may be currently out of your control. It is not something I would do by choice (referencing those that choose to 'live on the government dole').
Agreed. If this is considered war, then is the US and Israel really at war with Iran now? Does Iran have a valid reason to strike back? Can Iran go to the UN and demand sanctions on the US and Israel for striking first and performing hostile activities on Iran?
I doubt they could get sanctions, since there is no definitive proof the U.S. wrote it. If they did somehow try to get them passed anyway, wouldn't we just veto the motion? Kind of like the government deciding who can sue it.
No, people didn't send mail to him. They sent mail to the intended recipient, something went wrong on the way, and he set up his domain intentionally to benefit of these mistakes. What went wrong was the user making a mistake while typing the email address; that doesn't change who the intended recipient was, and it doesn't change that the mail was intercepted intentionally.
So if I intended to send an email to you, but made a mistake while typing the address, so it ended up at obama@whitehouse.gov, I can sue the Whitehouse, if they read that email?
How is the mail-server going to know who the intended recipient is? According to you, it can't trust the "RCPT TO:" command.
Can the mail server return a "MIND READ" result code, I don't know about? What RFC is that?
Can you sue them if they read it? Probably not. Can you sue them if they try to extort money out of you for not publishing it to the world? Yes. (Well, your example is the U.S. government, which means they'd have to allow you to sue them, but the point stands.)

A (very) quick search didn't show anything about the estimated mass of C/2013 A1, so possibly some debris might hit earth later.
According to this it's over 50km in diameter
Any reference to the size of an object is meaningless unless it uses football fields as a unit of measurement.

Especially under system32/drivers. Don't look there!
At the low point of the orbit, it will fire thrusters to slow it down and land.

No, it's 196850000000 football fields you eurotrash gaffet.
Which means it is roughly 23,622,000,000,000 penguins long if you stacked them end to end (using 2'6" as an average height for a penguin).

How are mimes supposed to take advantage of this? Seems pretty exclusionary to me.

I'm curious, as well. This sounds more like someone trying to make a quick buck than actually being offended.
