so its totally fine for a new person to take on the title of thor... as long as they are male? but passing mjolnir on to a female, that's somehow wrong?
would you also express outrage if mjolnir was passed on to a black person?
can you explain why on either count, without sounding like a bigot?
if you had read the FUCKING SUMMARY you would see that this is a new character taking up the title of Thor. Thor is not getting sex change, mjolnir is being passed to a new person to wield it - and this new person will assume the name THOR.
this is not a new idea in comics - batman, spider-man, ant-man, nightwing, robin, and countless other superheroes have been portrayed by multiple characters, the torch being passed along.
Thor just so happens to be passing the torch along to a woman, and all of a sudden everyone is frothing at the mouth.
story is that one of juniper's major partners was underhandedly selling prerelease, demo, & beta products to cisco. while legal, it's shady as fuck, and is almost certainly something that would have pissed juniper off to the point of severing ties with the vendor.
they were inquisitive, did some research, and experimented on a system, and succeeded in gaining unauthorized access. they then responsibly reported their findings to the device owner.
what these kids did, while perhaps not quite on par with hacking the gibson, still very much represents the (white hat) hacker ethos at work.
you, on the other hand, represent the asshat ethos, for downplaying what they did and trying to fiddle fart around with semantics.
yes, all three substances affect the body quite differently if you take an up-close look at their chemical mechanisms. however that is completely tangential to the point i was making, or the post i was replying to.
read the post i was responding to again, and see if you can't grok my meaning.
You can keep your puny mortal flesh. I'll take the robot legs that can jump 20 feet and run 40mph, the robot fingers that can type 500wpm, the robot eyes that have infrared and ultraviolet vision and a heads-up display, etc etc etc...
When you're sick enough to (feel you) need medication, stay at home. Don't spread germs all over the workplace / auditorium / public mass transport.
Nice idea, but almost useless....
which is quite clearly false. staying home while you are sick is far from useless, it very clearly does cut down on the amount of germs you are spreading by a large margin. you cannot completely eliminate the spread of germs, but you can affect it greatly, and should do so.
because that is the temperature for their optimum growth, derf. higher temperatures = slower growth rate. (for the vast majority of germs that you have to worry about infecting you)
so since you have spread the infection for one day, before you were showing symptoms, you might as well go ahead and spread it for several more days afterwards?
horsehockey. one day worth of germs 3 days worth of germs.
perhaps if you had given us the question, but not the answer, you could have motivated us to seek it ourselves. but by not even giving the correct question, you really aren't going to accomplish anything at all except annoy people who otherwise might have been interested in your point.
well, don't leave us hanging. after all that pontification, you could have at least given us the right question, and the answer, and the evidence to back it up! jeez!
grooveshark is always being sued, it's a running joke. they have dodged everything so far, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. they are operating in the same murky grey area that youtube has done for ages - the songs are user-uploaded, so the DMCA protects them from copyright issues as long as they cooperate with takedown notices. so the copyright owners end up playing an endless game of whack-a-mole.
451 is appropriate, as others in this thread have pointed out. 4xx indicates client is trying to access something that cannot be served to them, for whatever reason.
403 for instance is an access denied message - "this content is here, but you aren't allowed to see it"
5xx indicates server errors. in the case of blocked content, there is no server error. you just aren't allowed to see the content you are requesting, so the comparison to 403 is incredibly appropriate.

did you bitch and moan with equal fervor when batman/spiderman/antman/nightwing/robin/etc/etc/etc were portrayed by new characters?
smells like misogyny to me!
bruce wayne is a person. batman is a mask.
dick grayson is a person. nightwing is a mask.
i think you get the idea. thor is the person wielding mjolnir and busting asses.
if you had read the FUCKING SUMMARY you would see that this is a new character taking up the title of Thor. Thor is not getting sex change, mjolnir is being passed to a new person to wield it - and this new person will assume the name THOR.

you have a very narrow definition of what 'hacking' is. i disagree, and the mods seem to agree with me.
what these kids did definitely qualifies as hacking.
taking apart a transistor radio to figure out how it works, and putting it back together, is hacking.
talking someone into giving you their password over the phone, is hacking. (yes, it's social engineering. that's a form of hacking.)
there are very many other, very wildly different examples i could give if i had the desire.
it's an umbrella term. deal with it.

then they're fucked.
seriously, what a terrible idea.

let me introduce you to this little drug called 'alcohol', and his friends caffeine & nicotine
nah, the legs have great shock absorbers built in, i'm good.

the problem is when they get hacked, they aren't going to get rid of their machines or go offline.
they will just become one more in the zombie army, and the REST of us end up suffering.
Microsoft is doing the right thing here.
yeah, seems pretty unlikely that we would have both a storm AND a power outage at the same time! those things never go hand in hand!
what common core are YOU talking about?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...
so, to start with, the common core doesn't even have a required reading list, it leaves it open to schools to select.
ALSO, their 'sample texts' to help teachers out, do include plenty of classics! it SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS shakespeare in the wiki blurb!
so, you're doubly wrong. wtf, bro?
you did, in fact, say this:
When you're sick enough to (feel you) need medication, stay at home. Don't spread germs all over the workplace / auditorium / public mass transport.

bah, one day of germs is less than 3 days of germs. html encoding ftw
so since you have spread the infection for one day, before you were showing symptoms, you might as well go ahead and spread it for several more days afterwards?
horsehockey. one day worth of germs 3 days worth of germs.
stay at home when you are sick.

ok, if you put your two posts together, you now have a complete valid argument in defense of the 5th.
