I already wear glasses and for this sort of thing I'll wait for the contact lenses version and lasik sergery versions to better fu& up my ability to see what is real.
It seems every so many years this sort of thing happens as a dumbing down of the general population.
many of the posts here point out the flaws in what this guy presents, but if he really did hack into some classified systems and he is that dumb to not know how to save a screen image....
what is he really saying?
that even a monkey can hack into national security?
Oh wait, didn't some research expose that a monkey was able to hack into the diebold voting machines???
There are alot of people on this planet that know that so called alien life exist, technology more advanced than what we have created exist and even sources of so called free energy, etc. SO WHAT?
The fact of the matter is that is NOT what we are doing with our time here.
here is something else we are not doing, though we have the knowledge, man power and natural resources to do it and there is nothing hidden about it.
since we can't even help ourselves, or don't show a real intent or effort to, then what the fuck useful is it to even acknowledge the existance of such advanced stuff?
It works like this. At work I can be "putting out a fire" (a phrase to describe a crisis rush job) and talking to someone about what needs to be done, perhapos the person I'm putting the fire out for. But even then the floor sweeper person (the lowest position at the company) can step up to us and all the sudden I'm wearing a cloak. Attention shifts from the person I'm talking with, to that person and the floor sweeper.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to make money off this cloak...
Networking wold never have happened had it not been for McNeely?
You can create more work to do by making it require more people to screw in a lightbulb.
But does it mean more gets done?
The reason the Mac hasn't become a big System Admin system is because its easier to use. I forget where that research was done, but in essence it resulted in fewer needed to screw in the light bulb, decreasing job security and pay scale..

Do Kids Still Program?

The problem is a lack of what should have been being taught decades ago. Abstraction Physics.But instead programming languages continue to be the thing to learn and thats a moving target, ever changing...
The sort of thing that would remain useful like learning how to do math rather than just learning about all the advanced algorithyms others have done.
The ''physics of abstraction'' is of an outside looking in perspective, where rather than creating another abstract language (inside), instead sees the underlying action machinery enabling the ability to create languages (outside looking in). Since Abstraction is a human mental characteristic, there is an inherent subjectivity to the topic. However, through the use of computers we can be more objective about abstraction physics. See: Abstraction (computer science)
Abstraction enters the picture of computing with the representation of physical transistor switch positions of ON '1' and OFF '0' or what we call "Binary notation". However, computers have far more transistor switches in them than we can keep up with in such a low level or first order abstract manner, so we create higher level abstractions in order to increase our productivity in programming computers. From Machine language to application interfaces that allow users to define some sequence of action into a word or button press (ie. record and playback macro) so to automate a task, we are working with abstractions that will ultimately access the hardware transistor switches which in turn output to, or control some physical world hardware.
Programming is the act of automating some level of complexity, usually made up of simpler complexities, but done so in order to allow the user to use and reuse the complexity through a simplified interface. And this is a recursive act, building upon abstractions others have created that even our own created abstractions/automations might be used by another to further create more complex automations. In general, if we didn't build upon what those before us have done, we then would not advance at all, but rather be like any other mammal incapable of anything more than, at best, first level abstraction. But we are more, and as such have the natural human right and duty to advance in such a manner.
Abstraction action constants:
There is an identifiable and definable "physics of abstraction" (abstraction physics), an identification of what actions are required and unavoidable, in order to make and use abstractions. Abstraction Physics is not exclusive to computing but constantly in use by... well... us humans. Elements or facets of abstraction physics include the actions of abstraction creation and use, such as:
0) Defining a word to mean a more complex definition (word = definition, function-name = actions to take, etc.)
1) Starting and Stopping (interfacing with) of an abstraction definition sequence.
2) Keeping track of where you are in the progress of abstraction sequence usage (moving from one abstraction to another).
3) Defining and changing "input from" direction.
4) Defining and changing "output to" direction.
5) Getting input to process (using variables or place holders to carry values).
7) looking up the meaning of a word or symbol (abstraction) so to act upon or with it.
8) Identifing an abstraction or real item value so to act upon it.
9) Putting constraints upon your abstraction lookups and identifications -When you look up a word in a dictionary you don't start at the beginning of the dictionary, but begin with the section that starts with the first letter then followed by the second, etc., and when you open a box with many items to stock, you identify each so as to know where to put it in stock.
These placed into a logical integration for versatility and exception handeling provides for a "Virtual Interaction Configurat

In fact it should be applied to other software, Applications like earlier versions of autocad. The company I work for has license for software that runs within the autocad software, however of the two licenses only one was upgraded to run in newer version of autocad.The non-upgraded license requires an earlier version of autocad. This autocad license did not transfer with the purchase of the assets of a bankruptcy from which the company I work for, obtained. But the license for the other software did.
Ultimately by not forcing, or trying to force people to upgrade in the game of license shuffeling the software industry might just get a wakeup call as to what the consumers really want.
maybe the consumer was doing just fine with what software they were using or maybe they really needed different improvements overall that didn't break what they were fine with.
The company I work for could make use of a legal 2000 version of autocad. but apparently its abandoneware to force upgrading of software packages that includes software autodesk doesn't own or sell.
Having the source code available to study, modify, fix etc., can only be helpful in education. Unless someone can explain how closed source provides such an opportunity. There is no conflict here regarding licensing, even the GPL only states that those who have access to the application must have access to the source code, and since most software is not accessed by the public at large it really only make since that those using the software be able to maintain it.
But there is more happening here. Software itself, the way it is produced, is changing and at some point it will be as common for the general user to produce code or instruct the machine to, as general use math is today common place, and the use of a calculator.
Eventually the code base for the automation of application creation and integration will happen/evolve, but by the time it does the world economy will hopefully be more balanced.
There are current issues bringing all this to an apex, most namely that of the falseness of software patents, or from another perspective, the attempt to deny human rights to think and do productively.

Now maybe there is some hope that the general public will never be given the decimal system of programming that they may do it themselves, as they find need to. Instead the roman numeral system of complexity beyond the general user can only be reinvented so many times before it becomes abvious.
But what this really means is the boring tasks of reinventing the things IT does over and over, would instead be done by those who actually use it for productivity. And that the more interesting leading edge would be left to those with a focuse on software advancement.
And it also means that the babeling patent claim of human mental activity woudl be exposed as an attempt to force people to be stupid, will come to an end cause there is no money left in it, in comparison to moving forward.

FSF is correct. No compromise of the license, for as soon are one slips thru others will follow and the next thing you know..... its no longer GPL.
The silly part is using todays more powerful system as an excuse that you can use it to map to an older more limited system, and that somehow it disqualifies the fact that the system of today did not exist then.
Proof that Software patents are not valid patents? Absolutely! But such absolute proof did not stop the catholic church from promoting Galileo as a heritic.

The point: Proof is not all that is needed and then there cheating in a manner that leaves no proof.
The page I linked to is very clear and straight forward, simple. What is left open is perhaps a little more datail of the action constants that you cannot avoid. There are NINE things we do in any and all things we do.
Basic things of the VIC (Virtual Interaction Configuration)
AI (Alternate Interface) You start or begin things and stop or end things.
PK (Place Keeper) You need to know where you are in doing something, keep track of things, especially if you need to set something aside to do other things before you can go back to something and continue.
OI (Obtain Input) You get things to pass to other things (variables).
IP (InPut from) You select where your getting something from and what to get when you get things.
OP (OutPut to) You select where your sending something to and what to send when you send things.
SF (do StufF) You do things a step at a time, even when your doing more than one thing at a time, each you do a step at a time. And the things you do can be or include doing the nine things.
IQ (Index Queue) You look up what things mean, and use the meanings to (SF) "do StufF". Often the meaning is from a Selected Abstraction Set.
ID (IDentify things) Sometimes you gotta know what something is before you know what to do. So you test things to see what they are. Once you know what something is, you can (SF) "do StufF".
KE (Knowledge Enable) When looking up or testing something (IQ and ID), you may only want a certain part of it. This "KE" helps you narrow down what you want to look up (IQ) or test (ID). When you look up a word in a dictionary, you limit your search to the section starting with the first letter of the Word.
These NINE things can easily be made available in the form of computer functionality, easy for us to use.
And With This we can Automate The things We Do thru computers. We can organize and automate our use of abstraction sets through The Abstraction Tool (Computers).
And on to your next comment:
"Writting letters" and "hording it to myself"? Try doing a google search on "Timothy Rue" and "Patents" I'm even a wikipedia entry...

You can break down the heap sort yourself into terms of of where you use what of the nine action constants. But know that these constants are as a carrier wave, not the specific signal they are passing.
If you and your professors really are against software patent, then the only way to to undo them is to help map the prior art of Free Software, Open Source Software, etc.. For just like the catholic church and Galileo, its about popularity in use.
