Me though, 60 grand of undergrad debt, minus whatever I chipped off these past three years (a bit!), I've gotten the need to feel smart out of my system. I am working, making good money, and hedging my bets -- I wouldn't bet on me to finish the master's and get an even higher paying job to cancel it out.
But my opinion is worthless since I am employed. Ask someone who's been out on the front lines, trying to find work and ask them how bad one needs a master's degree.
we should just go get a bunch more rocks so that they are not valuable. it's a damned rock. but since we're apparently stuck on this one forever, they are worth more than gold.
did you people know the top of the washington monument is made of aluminium? cause that used to be precious too.
let the dude keep his pebble. lets be noble and go back to the moon. we used to be good at it.
Extrapolating from 1999 when I got on board here, in 2018 slashdot will be posting stories about Michael Jackson's alien love child. No mention of facebook.
If the phishers figure out some way of gaining 185000 dollars, they might be able to afford a vanity tld. Maybe they could steal 185000 using deceptive luring techniques.
I bet icann will use part of that 185000 dollars to improve the title of "random dude in eastern europe" to "sir".
we do the same all the way up here in southern new hampshire. i'm too lazy to google where massachusettes is but i believe it is definitely in new england as the OP claims.
People don't need to alter their (horribly lazy, wasteful) habits. Just pay more. Get business class for their home. Fix it with money. Fix it with money or find another ISP if you're in the half of America living in a city.
Or stop being the irrelevant outlier person in the bell curve.
"40 gig just from streaming data" with a lowball 150 gig allowance, with recent slashdot articles saying netflix is a large minority of people's traffic... sounds like the ISPs are correct, that 150 gig is generous.
I was just trying to rile you up with the subject line there. Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a transparent generational thing.
I heard folks in their 40s saying their teenage kids aren't creative anymore, that the web and games and shows we made were so entertaining they had no reason to be self-creative.
I really wanna figure they're just wrong, that they dont know how creative their kids secretly are. Maybe as I've entered my 30s now, I've gotten it together mentally enough to actually pull some 'hacks' off, see some things through to completion. Maybe I glorify my teens and early 20s and I never really got anything done at all. Maybe we all spend those years discovering tools for the toolbox, and that in itself was discovery and accomplishment.
But there's no such group I am aware of in Boondock, NH. I see that photo of geeks sharing a table, eating poptarts to stay shiny, drinking 'dew, and probably having a hearty laugh at mundane details. And I just lust for such a thing, available only by the numbers a huge city can push. I probably should live in a city to have geek friends I can actually smell. The 'net does a fine job hiding the aroma, but alas also the arcane body language and general vibe of sharing meatspace.
So the bash fork bomb got popular back while I was at UNH. If you're not familiar with it, it's similar to this:;(){:|:& };: (I changed one character so that you dont paste it on recommendation) The way it works is trivial, and it's mystique is only in that it uses punctuation marks in lieu of letters for its own name: make a new function called:, run it and force the output into a new fork of itself in the background; then a final call to the new function. h4rdc0r3 1337.
So, we had this UNH policy that if you hung a shared unix dev box, you got evicted from CEPS (the college for the engineering/cs kids). They could give you a warning or go straight to evict. Their call.
I wrote to their head unix admin once, and with some humility, cause I knew they knew this, pointed out that they could just change the system's ulimit values to disallow casual fork bombing. The default system ulimits on the distro back then (still?) allowed a single user to consume all memory. So we saw a couple kids run the fork bomb and they never actually got evicted, cause maybe 40 grand tuition outvotes a cranky unix admin's wanton lust for cruelty.
Anyways, as a student, my issue was this - set the damned ulimit so that my editor session doesn't get wiped with my homework -- you can't argue for frequent backups when more than 0 seconds of hard work are arbitrarily on the line solved by a simple config change.
But the UNH unix admin guy replied to me and told me that yeah, he knew about ulimit back when I was in diapers, but he wasn't going to change it up. And a few more times that semester, I lost a couple lines of uncommitted code due to some clown pressing enter on a dare.
I feel like it's asking too much. The concern is, "hey gmail maybe your code triggers some js machine bugs, and we dont trust it." That's valid. But asking them to open source it for inspection, well that lets other folks pick the pieces up and start hawking their own version. Isn't there a middle ground [to ask for, and be denied]? I've just become jaded enough to start agreeing with that crappy business model "let the 10% that complain cancel their service". So long ago that seemed like a joke answer a fake company would use, but now we see it all the time. And I agree with it, alas. If you dont trust gmail, dont use it. Dont ask for their trade secrets either under the veil of security auditing and the intended benefit of legally copying it, or legitimately security auditing it and haphazardly allowing competing services to glean legal copies. Ask for some NDA access to have yourself or someone you trust inspect it. Just because something can be open sourced, doesn't mean it needs to be.
If each of those kurls is able to be refinished, I think that they could withstanding another couple injections, easily. Why is sensationalist media destroying our national merits!? Only on slashdot, and yes, I did read the article.

Take a picture of someone and photoshop in a bong and then do this. See how long it takes to get them fired.
Or worse, their boss will want to hang out.

my life sucks
i have to wait 2 days to get a dvd mailed to my porch
my wrists are itchy, pass the knife.

More than you need isn't generous? What's the new definition for generous?

Always relevant from its irrelevance.
Let's all remember how much we hated XP when it came out, and then how much we wanted Windows 7 to be XP when it came out.
oh haaaaa you interpreted hyperbole literally ohaaaaaa i just died laughing oh man thats the funniest thing i will ever read in a million years
Are you going to paypal me or will you cut a check?
I am completely oblivious. Can anyone spell out for me what I have so obtusely missed?

Sigh
to be fair, the only thing in short supply on your list was the money. there's not a shortage of brave geeks with vision.
But sandboxing your v6 with its own DNS name is cheating. You're only being brave if you publish A and AAAA records for your main site.

Fork ya later,
Exactly, we have the code. Why does it need to be open sourced?

I was going to be all snarky about some blog post probably not being the voice of FSF, but then, http://www.gnu.org/people/speakers.html and he's on there.
So I guess I disagree with the FSF, and not just him!

Ok, you have caught my interest. What is the algorithm, very generally, to detect this?
by how beautiful that was.
