The real payoff comes after their tenure in office, when they revert to the private sector and rake in the big bucks through speaking engagements, book deals, etc.
I have a whole box of tapes from my Commodore PET 2001, which were made in the late 1970s and early 1980s. A couple of years ago I tried loading them on the PET. Some of them loaded fine, others were either too degraded or the drive was bad (I'm betting the tapes were at fault because I tried them on three drives).
In general, quality and correctness have never been major concerns of the Ruby, and especially Rails, communities. Their goal is to produce large amounts of software quickly, even if it's shitty, doesn't do what it's supposed to, and even if it outright fucks up. It doesn't surprise me at all that they'd produce a blatantly incorrect graph like that.
Your lack of faith in Extreme Programming's agile development methodology disturbs me.
And yet Social Security spending goes right back to the people who it was taken from.
Really? I have yet to receive even a single dollar back from the thousands I've contributed, and at this rate by the time I reach retirement age I don't expect to get much, if at all.
You've never been to the southern United States, have you?
But seriously, "cracker" as it applies to computers has been around for a long time ("long" being at least since the early 1980s).
Yes, but what are your programming skills like? Show us some sample code so that we may judge you and decide whether that $10k/year is necessary. All for the sake of constructive criticism, of course.
There's a reason why the GPL, and indeed most software licenses, include the phrase, "THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED 'AS IS' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES". Even in the absence of a sale, there could be an implied warranty. Of course, IANAL so YMMV.
Perhaps the sequence of requests coming from the author's IP address had an effect, not the user-agent. In other words, every time he applied from the same IP, they fiddled with the rates. Or perhaps they based the rate on how quickly he filled in certain fields, e.g. those who dilly-dally on the "annual income" field might be exaggerating, and will thus get a higher rate--or maybe a lower one, to entice them to get in over their heads! So the user-agent is simply one of many variables.
"Escorted" can mean many things. You assume the store owner was trying to get rid of the customer. But perhaps the store owner was providing an escort to ensure the customer, giddy over the purchase of their new firearm, was able to find the door. Or maybe the "escort" was from an escort service, in which case I'd like to inquire: where was that gun shop again, and what is the cheapest firearm they sell?
The Art of Perception hopes to improve an officers' ability to accurately describe what they see during an investigation by studying art.
Er, wasn't the whole point of studying to be a police officer so that they could, among other things, accurately describe what they see during an investigation? If they're no good at that, they shouldn't have been hired in the first place; and if they were hired, they should be fired after the fact.
I'll bet the code is also self-documenting. And automatically enforces that it's used properly. So we can all breathe easier now that the problem of security has been solved.

She will be reported for trying to hack the system.

American football or European football?

Hmmm, last time the Germans had a device capable of world-class encryption they almost won a world war. Almost.
Did you get laid for that one? I had several such opportunities resulting from obscene levels of gratitude.
Dear Slashdot: You'll never believe what happened to me one day in the computer lab...
"cracker" is a very recent word...

With a name like "Avast!", is it any surprise that people are inclined to pirate it?
Yes, but what are your programming skills like? Show us some sample code so that we may judge you and decide whether that $10k/year is necessary. All for the sake of constructive criticism, of course.
...Assange is not acting like a member of a free press. He's an ego-maniac with a specific political agenda
So you're saying Assange is acting like Fox News?
who is directly soliciting illegal activity, and even offering help with legal costs for those that commit it.
I believe it's not unprecedented for the press to pay sources for information, and for the press to defend their reporters in court.
The emails may be critical, but what I'm really interested in are the pics.
You actually believe they'll honor that "guarantee"? P.T. Barnum had a word for people like you.
I suggest "fr33". That way hackers won't be able to figure it out.
If only Google had a means of finding and blocking access to web sites containing malware. A "search engine", if you will.
All they have to do to fix those Android apps is to rename them from "Banking Application" to "Banking Application and Honeypot". Problem solved!

Yeah, I saw Avatar in IMAX 3-D on my home theater. It was way better than seeing it in a theater.
I read it as "NSFW" and thought the same thing: why is Slashdot doing a story on your wife?

African or European speed of light?
