    What is to prevent people from using a onetime email address? I have a few domains that have unlimited email addresses, what is to prevent me from "renting" out email address space for one time usage? Signup anonymously.

  4. Hackers and Hiring on Would You Hire A Hacker? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think it would depend on the QUALITY of the hack. A poorly written hack that breaks out in the wild, that causes unintended results would prevent me from hiring said person.

    However, if the hack is an elegant piece of code, that does exactly and only what the author indended would be something I would consider.

    Originality also would count. The creative nature of the hack would also weigh in. This prevents script kiddies from modifying existing hacks from the "application" for the job.

    In otherwords, I would evaluate each hack and make judgements on the over all skill, novelty and execution of the hack, all skills needed for any programming job.

    No, that is the Mechanism for keeping the Libertarian out of the debate. The reason is clear. Can't have a real comparison of someone who truly differs in opinion.

    As much as I think Ralph Nader is a wacko, I also think he should be invited. The Libertarian party will outlast Ralph Nader and whatever party he is running with.

    I have only ONE beef with the libertarian party (not going to mention it here), however, this guy's well thought our responses are a clear indication of WHY he will not be invited to the debates. George Kerry, and John Bush wouldn't have a clue how to respond to thoughtful answers.

    Marketing Speak is the SYMPTOM of the problem. The problem is much deeper. It is an indication that the industry has stopped using NEW ideas to create better products, or new products never seen before. It is a sign of a Mature Market.

    How can you decide between the $9.95 mouse and the $11.95 one? Buzzwords and Marketing Technobabble.

    Or as one of my professors pointed out. When he asked his wife why she like one Fridge over another, she replied that she like the Handle. Everything else was the same in her mind.

    He is prolife in his own life, but he doesn't want to force his opinion on everybody else who is prochoice. How is that a bad thing?


    If he PERSONALLY thinks Abortion is Murder, then he SHOULD be against it professionally. Taking a moral stand is a GOOD thing, don't you think?

    How bout if I phrase it this way. Personally I am Prochoice, but politically I am against all abortions. Not possible you say? Exactly, I say.
  18. Re:Other candidates on Bush vs. Kerry on Science · · Score: 1

    THAT is not what I asked, is it? I asked for anyone to show LEGISLATION that Kerry has AUTHORED, not where he stands on any issue. I understand that he doesn't stand for anything, or more accurately, that he stands for everything.

    I am libertarian. Limited Government is NOT left, NOR right. If you are LEFT and LIBERTARIAN, then you are confused. Nobody has a "RIGHT" that depends upon action of others. If you have to do something to me, for you to excersise your "right" it is NOT a right, IE taxing people to support things you THINK others deserve and calling it a RIGHT is wrong.

    Right to keep and bear arms is a RIGHT, clearly outlined in the Constitution, yet I don't see anyone trying to raise taxes so that everyone who WANTS a gun can HAVE a gun. But under your typical Republicrat (both parties), they think it is PERFECTLY acceptable for people to be taxed for health care, something that is NOT a right. Go Figure.

    You are wrong too.

    It is the Legistlature job to write laws(bills).

    It is the Executives job to write laws(executive orders).

    It is the Judicial job to write laws(judicial activism).

    Here is my problem with John F. Kerry. He has had 20 something years in the Senate to author any legislation he thinks is good for America. Exactly what is his record on producing such legislation. Name 10. Name 9. Name 2. He has been sitting on his ASS for 20 years. 20 years of Senate, and still we don't know where he stands. It seems as if he is for and against everything. Prolife and prochoice. Pro Gun, anti gun.

    Here is my problem with George W. Bush. He takes a stand, right or wrong, and "stays the course". We have a record of how things have been done for 4 years, and it is clear where he stands, like him or not.

    Which is why I am voting LIBERTARIAN. With overriding moral platform of LIMITED Government AND Personal Responsibility. Government cannot replace responisibilty and the responsible don't need governance.

    It so happens that NASCAR requires a great deal of "literacy" to be successful. Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, all sorts of other technical skills.

    The drivers aren't some dumb guy sitting behind a stearing wheel either. That is mearly your OPINION. I think most of the Artsy Fartsy crowd is illiterate in math and sciences. Sure, they may know art, literature and all the pretty shinies (debatable looking at what they consider "art").

    The fact is, that they are pretentious, thinking that what they know is somehow more important than what the NASCAR crowd knows.

    Personally, I think BOTH crowds can learn from each other. The Artsy Fartsy crowd can learn how to race their gas / electric Hybrids, and the NASCAR crowd can learn how to paint their bodies better.
