My friend and I were troubleshooting a computer that seemed to have everything go wrong at once. So, we took the power supply apart to see if we could see any burnt components or anything. We then plug it in, and jump pin 14 (power on) to ground to get it to spin up. We're looking inside and I say, "hey, why does that look like an 'ON' light inside of the power supply?" To which he replies, "it looks like it's getting brighter." Then, it gets really bright, pops and the board catches on fire. We scrambled to get the power off/fire out as to not set off the smokes (smoke dectors) wired to the fire department. Fun fun.
Some things install webhancer. They're evil. They modify the TCP/IP stack so that it won't work when Ad-Aware removes their files. Programmers that do stuff like this should be destroyed.
Hah! Murphy's isn't even brewed in Ireland, it's brewed in Holland by Heineken. Nothing at all comes close to Guinness, well, maybe something like Papizan's Toad Spit Stout but anyway...
Remind me never to use any of your code. You want your programmers to be lazy. Laziness leads to code reuse which leads to quicker development. IM is probably one of the most efficient ways of communicating at work. You can easily talk to multiple people at once, instead of having multiple phone calls going at the same time. You can also copy and paste a block of code so someone can look at it easily; reading code aloud can be difficult because of parens and such. Since you don't like doing things efficiently IRL, I don't see how you'd be efficient in code.
They do. Somewhere in Microsoft's stuff I've read the phrase, "Not for use in Mission Critical applications."

Let's say we have a 1g (.001kg) pea traveling at 3e+08 m/s. Since KE = 1/2mv^2 it has.0005 * 9e+16 = 4.5e+13 joules of energy. Now, the World Trade Center is said to have come down with 6.8e+11 joules of potential energy (from gravity). The bomb dropped on Hiroshama is said to have released roughly 6.8e+13 joules, not even double the amount coming from the pea traveling at light speed. Granted, not enough energy to destroy the atmosphere, however, it is still a ridiculous amount of energy in a pea sized object.
Besides being one of the WORST looking cat 5 installations I've ever seen (electrical tape wrapped all over what appear to be connections, the use of wire staples on cat 5 cable), there is a question of easement. You can't just run cable without asking permission. And even if you do get permission, it's probably going to be at great cost.
You don't need to be able to decrypt the kernel. Are we really interested in a Microsoft kernel? The author states:
Now that the secret boot procedure is understood, it is possible to encrypt a new
ROM for the Xbox console, and to further study the structure of the Xbox bootloader
and kernel. Given the RC-4 algorithm, the 128-bit key, and the magic check number at
the end of the decrypted segment, one can run original code on the Xbox.
Arbitrary code execution is what we're searching for here.
Very true. For instance, Genuity monitors the connection at my office 24/7. If anything goes wrong on their end, they get it fixed promptly (they never go down though) and if it's on our end, they starting calling people until they find someone to fix it. They are an amazing company. I'd use them 100 times over.
Yea. Rule #1: Never trust a sysadmin who leeched his nick from Hackers. Rule #2: Never trust an ISP (colo, etc.) who has a sysadmin who leeched his nick from Hackers.
You're paying for termination. Fiber is not very expensive. A meter of MM zipcord is about $1. So let's say you're paying $29 for termination. A 50m cable would be maybe $79.
Moral of the story: if you're too old to not hold a cup steady enough so it doesn't fall on you, it's your own fault. Bottom line: NOT McDonald's FAULT. Anything you do to yourself is your own fault, period.
Said very well. Mod this up. And to add one more example: "Hmm, whats the best thing I can do with this coffee, the beverage I usually am given at a very high temperature. Oh, I know, I will store it between my legs, near my genitals. It will be nice and secure as I manipulate the pedals which control my automobile with my legs that are holding it. Oh no, the near boiling liquid spilled and my genitals are singed and I am unable to procreate. It must be [insert name of coffee vendor]'s fault." Yea, it's called a Darwin award. Personal opinion: people who feel the need to sue others (whether the defendant be a corporation or individual) for things that were blatantly their fault, they deserve Darwin awards, that is if they didn't already give themselves one. They make our society horrible. They are scum.
Mu (coefficient of friction) is probably no higher for a faster drive and neither is the rate of efficiency of whatever circuitry is in there. However if more power is going in (faster speed, so yes unless there's a transmission), then you're gonna get more excess heat. Nothing special.
Well, your arguments are basically wrong. Musicians have every right to get paid if they want to for their music. They also have a right to give it away if they so choose. Second, power sources like water, air, and sunlight are not "free". Each produces their own environmental and monetary negative effects.

To add to that, layer 3 (OSI numbering) or lower. This is why WEP and things like it fail. Security is meant to be implemented in layers 4 - 7.

Not like they'll ever know. Plus, that's one of those AUP type things I'll never abide by.

I believe it's "eavesdrop", i.e. to hide under eaves to spy.

Normal CDs are not burned... they're pressed. Therefore, this time probably includes putting data on it since they're just stamped out.
