Your imprecise use of English does not justify your "PROOF BY EXAMPLE".
The reply to your use of "every" was not particularly contentious, just to say that in that reply'ers experience there are lots and lots of counterexamples. When you gave your example, it came out as a 2004 Presidential Debate: "Don't forget Poland!"
I did forget a;) at the end of my post.. does that help any?
Hmmm, a correctly configured infrastructure for a business server would have tight restrictions on what connection/protocols were allowed to/from the server. I think the phrase "access to the Internet" is vague and misleading.
Just because I enable a SOAP client to access a vendors inventory server doesn't mean I have "access to the Internet". That is just a particular port and destination (in its simplest case).
They would boot back after because that is where there mail, bookmarks, etc are. Also, this is to induce them to BUY the hardware. Once that goal is met, does it REALLY matter which OS people use?
I understand your argument. It stands solid in the context of plaintext and ciphertext. In those uses, and by your definition, certainly one-way hashing is useless since it cannot be decrypted.
Now, I perceived there to be encryption & decryption, whereby you seem to want to make "encryption" the entire domain. i.e. encrypting something is to take it from readable to unreadable until such time as I choose to apply decryption and make it readable. I was simply taking the stance that one-way hash is encryption with no decryption. Kind of a "by definition" stance, I know...
I'll take your word that the author was trying to use "encryption" in your interpretation, as a course of study, which is why you took offence.
Last time this happened, I opened a hacking book and the first thing I laid my eyes on was a claim that a one-way-hash was a type of encryption. Okay, thanks for playing, good-bye now, now where are the Schneier books?....
Of course one way hashes are a type of encryption. Obvious use is to compare hashes to see if my password is correct. It is not decryptable per se, but your heavy handed dismissal of a book due to your own ignorance is laughable. Thank *you* for playing.
You apparently met up with an asshole. Next time you get rebuffed like that, I suggest simply talking to someone else. Every store I've been in seems to have a few people that understand situations like your and have no problem bending the "rules".. It also could be that he got off in an hour, and didn't wan't to wait 2 hours for your problem to manifest itself.
I suggest when showing the pictures, you make shit up to make them happy like yes, you had experienced this problem both at your house, and at a friends, so they can't blame something like environment.
Clinton lied about an intensely personal matter, that was really nobody's business except for the few people involved.
Umm, no he didn't. He was tried(impeached) and found not guilty(and stayed in office).
Remember that he is a lawyer and when asked "Are you having sexual relations" he said no, because a) he was no longer in that relationship, and b) at that very moment, he was NOT having sexual relations.. Hence the "depends on what the meaning of 'is' is."
Of course, the very fact that it was even INVESTIGATED, let alone allowed to go to impeachment is an embarassment to the country. Of course NOW we can't consider even a censure or BEGIN an investigation.. what the hell??!?
You are right on about the seriousness of a lie. There is the letter of the law and then there is the spirit.
Every major language has perfectly sane date libraries/types that handle adding dates and intervals as you say. It makes no sense for the parser to guess at what is meant by Feb 31st.. it should fail with an error. Immediately. And set the CPU on fire to get your attention.
Sourceforge is also not really a target. And you have not idea if they have been rooted or not. OpenBSD/Linux/Windows/[insert just about every OS EVER] has had escalation vulnerabilities, do you think it is not fit to be a server also?
you should do the math sometime.. figure out MAX energy that can be taken out of a gallon of gasoline, and determine how many mpg that should give you with a given vehicle (say, a civic). Now, dtermine efficiency as actual mpg / MAX mpg
Now, you understand that 100% efficiency just isn't possible in any realy world environment. But what level of efficiency does it take to piss you off, and what level to make you applaud?
Until you've done that, you're really just flapping your gums (tapping your fingers?) and not participating.
I have absolutely no doubt that you can buy iLife at a fraction of the official price in China. I just had a problem with you using that number to justify your argument. You were adding credibility were it simply didn't exist. Now if you had provided a link instead of personal narrative. ..
I'm really not sure how to take your comment regarding me not being there as an ethnic chinese. You are correct in your assumption that I am not, however I fail to understand your point.. is it that you are proud of the fact that you charge different prices and treat people differently depending on whether they are locals? Or are you referring to the people in your area don't just make stuff up? I'm not trying to be snotty, just trying to figure out why you brought that up.
Interesting. Kinda reminds me of the old joke: The food here is terrible, and the portions are too small.
How can salespeople not LOVE the fact that ipods aren't on the shelf? It gives them the perfect opportunity to educate and direct to better (and more profitable) players? The only way to compete with the "big boys" is to have better service.
BUT, we digress, the original of this thread was referring to Apple's profit, not retail, which as we know, doesn't matter. They sell iPods in vending machines now. Less lines. People already know what they want.
While most retail markup is much higher, it isn't like the reatail place you were working at wasn't loving being able to sell iPods. They were pretty much guaranteed to have 100% turnover of inventory, plus they had a "normal" markup on all the accessories.
What, the one that is really just malware, and the other one that was patched a long time ago? Neither one of those would make headlines on any other platform, either.

So you justified your use of "every" with a single example? Gee, you should have ended your post with a "QED"

Now that's obviously a hypothetical, you using imaginary cities like that. . .
What do you mean by a "small" spaceship? Compared to what?

Care to source that quote, Cowboy?

They are simply trying to stop global warming by increasing the population of pirates. Did you not read FSM 16:2??
+15 (Truth) I had to doublecheck to confirm that I was reading Slashdot.. quality post.

It does. They do different thins. Perfectly normal behavior.
Let me quote from the future that I saw in a movie that does just what you suggest: "Who runs Bartertown?!"
Now, you understand that 100% efficiency just isn't possible in any realy world environment. But what level of efficiency does it take to piss you off, and what level to make you applaud?

Thanks for the clarification. If I ever visit that area, can I hire you to do all my shopping? :)
It was also real world testing, not even with "best power savings" mode enabled.

But, truly, continue to keep making shit up. 12 more posts like this and you qualify for the special olympics!
