They actually plan on making it like a worm, where it will check if the SSL Cert is there before duplicating it, but tricking applications into duplicating it anyways regardless if its there or not.
Thus everytime you visit a site with an SSL cert, you bog down your computer just a little bit more.
Oh, because no western Nation has any religious intolerance. Have you seen France lately? They don't kill people but they sure do treat Muslims with a lot of hostility. Or how about the torture that the US military puts on insurgents in order to get information. How about the INNOCENT people who get arrested and detained for an indefinate period of time, without charge?
I honestly don't know whats worse, the malicious, vile, blatant religious intolerance or the underhanded, despicable, hidden religious intolerance.
Except that's never how the real world works, sadly. Go look at any available programming positions. They want experience in certain fields, since the architecture is already in place, it just needs updates and maintenance.
I much prefer understanding the general theory behind programming, so that you can easily go between languages with a quick brushup in Syntax, thats the way I've been taught. But to say that I should be as good at writing Java in emacs as I am at writing C# in Visual Studio is quite a difficult task to implement. Everyone is different, I think once the knowledge base of logic is there, specialization in language is key to getting a good job and enjoying what you do.
Except that this isn't a principle that started when the religion was founded, the whole anti-depiction thing only started about 2 or 3 hundred years ago. The religion itself is older, and has depictions of Muhammed.
Ah, makes sense when you put it that way. I still considered those as "Instant messaging" services.
In fact, I don't think any of those web browser chat features use port 80 or 8080 or 443. But I might be mistaken. I thought its not HTTP at that point, but a webapp running on its own.
I find that a lot of these foreign developing countries that seem to be oppressive and support censorship are usually pretty much just as bad as any developed nation.
I mean, what with Australia airports checking for porn, US Military blocking the Press with the Wikileaks video, Germany and its whole Anti-Nazi thing. Each country has its quirks, we seem so quick to condemn Pakistan for blocking a web site when we don't even have our own house in order.
Well killing another human being doesn't have to be intentional, does it? There are quite a few accidents that happen.
It's not as if someone other than your own genes determined your cancerous state, unless as you say, you were put in a situation where you were exposed to dangerous radiation levels.
But that usually isn't the case. Either way, not intentional, I was just eluding to the whole "Having your own cells mutate and attack you" is still pretty much you, killing yourself, as unintentional as it may be.
He was an amazing Prof, and a good deal of them were similar, it was a small classroom of about 40 folks, unlike the 100 person lecture halls at Universities. Thats why I prefer the Polytechnic. It might not be as impressive on the resume but its hands on training that companies can respect if their HR department is smart.
Don't get me wrong, there is always that one prof no one likes. I remember learning how to use VB in Excel... As if that class wasn't bad enough, we had an old military commander who would make you do pushups if you were late, or harass you in front of the class if you giggled at something.
As for tests - we only ever wrote on paper for word questions, usually short answer like "Why is security important?" and all that kind of stuff. We never wrote a test for Java, or C#, or VB, or any language or markup we learned. Instead we were given big projects to test our meddle.
The final project, worth quite a bit of the grade, was to partner up with someone, and build a fully functional travel agency web site, with one persons laptop doing the webhosting (locally in the lab) and the other person hosting the database. You were graded on every possible aspect, aesthetics, usability, functionality, efficiency, etc etc. You had to be able to accept customer registrations, bookings, and even payment through paypal (though the intructor set up the account). It was quite complex, especially for two people to do everything from start to finish. Some people were really bold and used Flash for spiffying up their website, and it looked amazing, but their back end would be a little sloppy. Other people would use simple HTML and javascript buttons to affect their hyperlinks, and while it didn't look amazing, their code could handle more than what was requested of the assignment, like trip suggestion based on criteria specified by the customer, and so on and so forth.
All in all, everyone did pretty good. And it was a great experience because you really learned what aspect of web programming you enjoyed. Some folks went off to be DBA's, other web designers, and some folks like me,.NET developers.
In my class 2 years ago, it was pretty much mandatory. Prof would be walking you through a PHP script for logging onto the server. If you weren't following along, you were considered not learning the skill.
In this way, the prof could look around at everyones laptop. He'd be able to see how people coded differently, and give suggestions on how to either improve their style, or what languages they'd be most comfortable in, what editor they might like, etc etc. It went beyond simple reading of the code, it was an inspection of how you wrote the code you did, and I found it very helpful.
I put a call out to players in my city to contact me. The plan was to start an unspoken alliance to collude in business together, keep the money in our circle. If I pay a miner I know personally, he will be more inclined to buy my products. We can offer each other discounts if we want, but the basic goal is that we aren't wasting money, it merely shifts around as we barter with the actual goods. It got to a point where it was too difficult to manage though. We didn't want to form a corporation or alliance because we didn't have the means to defend ourselves from war declarations. Had to disband.
It's really hard to define EVE as popular - but I don't know how else to describe it.
When you walk up to a random Stranger and ask if they've heard of World of Warcraft, you'll get quite a few people who say they have. If you take those people who know of World of Warcraft, and ask if they've heard of Eve Online, you'll get at least a quarter of them (in my personal experience). So while EVE may have less than a million active subscribers, it does have quite a bit of popularity.
In fact, you grazed Eve's seriousness: And that contributes to both Why it makes headlines but also why the player base is so small. Their bonus is that Eve is revolutionary in that it takes gaming to the next level because it integrates human interaction far past any other MMO out there. Problem is, not everyone wants that.
I'd beg you to tell me one as well. Because Eve doesn't run on 1 server, it runs on multiple servers (The busier systems like Jita require their own server, where as the empty low secs can be grouped).
When Blizzard rolls out their Battle.net updates, you'll be able to party up and do quests cross servers, and chat across servers easily.
Wow also is an MMO with more than 300k subscribers and has consistent growth, each year another half a Million at least joins. I remember when they gloated 9 million, then a year later 10 million, now 11 million. Who wants to bet 2012 sees 12 million?
Not sure that Monkey Island was the right demo choice, but hey.
I remember playing The first 2 when they first came out, with all their beeps. Then I remember playing them in '99 for kicks on a laptop. And I remember playing them a couple years ago for the nostalgia.
Each and every time the audio was different (though only slightly for the most recent attempt). Its crazy how hardware changes could make such a profound difference, since I assume its all the same audio code just getting executed differently. It's funny, because in '99, I thought I had mixed something up with the audio setup because it didn't sound right. No that was just how it was SUPPOSED to sound on a good audio card.
To answer your *, yes, Buddhism pretty much is a religion. Though you'd be hard pressed to find any idol or deities associated with it. It aims to answer the same basic questions and tries to guide you in the same aspects of life.
And also yes, Mohammed has been depicted quite a few times before, but not usually without reprimand or on such large scales. There was a cartoonist who depicted him, with a bomb for a turban, and that caused quite an uproar, as you can imagine. Not too long ago either.
It is just religious fanatics who are threateningly upset by it. If someone went around to all the Jewish homes in New York and put Ham on the door handles, you bet it'd make the news. That's kind of whats happening here, it's just one of those things that would be like being disrespectful on purpose.
I can understand their anger, but not normally their reaction. Can't act like Christians are any less barbaric, they are some of the strongest supporters of the military, and the military is occupying the middle east.
Disclaimer: You can spare the "I'm Christian and I don't support the military" and the likes kind of comments. This is all generalization, and stereotyping. I know not everyone feels the same way, and neither do the Muslims. There are quite a large number of Muslims who don't really care if you draw Mohammed, its your undoing to them.
Not this semester. If any group of students agree to the terms than thats what is sticking for everyone. They don't want a whole cluster of different terms per different groups of students, or students outraged they got different terms, or anything like that. And reworking contracts aren't pretty either.
Slashdot Mirror
I find amusing. I can learn more about a person from being a creepy eavesdropper than most people can by conversing with that person.

I dunno, paper trail maybe? There isn't much of a record if its a cash transaction.
This sounds exactly like Jurassic Park, except replace Dinosaurs with Yeast and Frogs with E. Coli.
Need I explain what happens next?

If they managed to do an ascii depiction with the character limit, I'd be impressed.
