A man that speaks the TRUTH! MySQL is a toy, no referential integrity, no CHECK constraints, no stored procedures. It's fast, but so is a JATO rocket attached to a bicycle. Only a fool would use MySQL for something where the data actually matters.
For a good example of MySQL's performance under load, look at crash^Wslashdot, which probably averages two crashes a day or so, with 5 or 10 minutes down for each crash. As a man much smarter than me has said, slashdot does a wonderful job evangalizing Microsoft products.
It's done more than that, it's also given us countless hours of quality PBS and Discovery channel programming, and Velcro! Can you even truly imagine life without Velcro?
xchat doesn't hold a candle to mirc? xchat kicks some mirc ass. at least it lets you be on multiple servers, with only one client. mirc sucks for people who use more than one server at a time.
The thing is it's really fucking easy for terrorists to operate on the internet.
The signal to say go forth with the plans we made in the OsamaCave, and cause armegeddon could just be a slashdot post saying 'I find Jon Katz to be an incredibly intelligent, well-reasoned, thoughtful writer. His exposition is beyond reproach.'
It's true, if the plane were filled with Hydrogen instead of jet fuel there wouldn't have been that big orange fire... There'd have been a big BLUE fire, and a nice explosion to boot.
For the people who want to say that Hydrogen is perfectly safe, I have two words for you: The Challenger. Space shuttles run on Hydrogen after all, so I guess there's no danger of explosion or fire....
This guy is an opportunistic fuckwit, and nothing more.
That's what Amazon did (We're going to keep our customers address and credit card number in a rolodex 'and we do it with a computer') and we all hate them for it.
Speak for yourself, and the slashdroids. I don't hate amazon at all, I use them all them time, they're extremely convenient and have reasonable prices. As far as I can tell, they really were the first site to offer one-click shopping. If you can prove otherwise, go collect your $10,000 Bounty
Almost all freely-available stegenographic methods make for easily detectable data.
Let's take the common case, where one bit is in the LSB of each channel of a digitized photograph. The person who is hiding the data must first acquire digitized photographs, they do this by either scanning photos, or using a digital camera.
The problem with these photographs is that they won't be completely random. The CCD or CMOS in the camera or scanner does not have the property that the LSB is completely random, so it would take a cryptanalyst only a short period of time to find that there was information stored there.
Stegonagraphy really has none of the properties that one-time pads do. It's an interesting mechanism for obscuring data, but that's all it does, obscure. one-time-pads provide perfect security of data, even if you post the results on a Times Square billboard.
With one-time pads, the phrase 'd&@%nMn(>%#f+Nq' is equally likely to mean either 'slashdot rocks!' or 'slashdot sucks!'. There is absolutely no way to get the original plaintext of a one-time-pad encoded ciphertext unless there was a flaw with their random number generator, or they use the same pad twice.
If Windows XP had a $1m advertising budget, EVERYBODY would bash Microsoft. The budget is much, much bigger. $1M wouldn't even cover the costs of hiring the ad agency.
Go look in your BIOS at the temperature monitoring stuff. You'll see a section where you can choose a temperature at which you want the machine to automatically shutdown, in case say, the heatsink falls off.
Oh yeah, and it's set to something reasonable my default. You actually have to disable that if you want to fry your processor.
Next time you're going to whine, whine about something legitimate.
Actually, he wasn't the one who came up with the assinine idea that there are only two possible viewpoints. George W. Bush said in his Sep 20 2001 speech that "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."
When I got laid off from a dot-bomb, I didn't take anything, but that's also because I was paid for what I expected to be paid for, and was given a few months pay for severance.
If your employer pulls the ever famous 'WHOOPS, you just worked for free' bit, and skips out on the check, I really don't see what is morally wrong with taking assets equal to the value of what's owed you. After all, what you're doing is saving the company the overhead of having to deal with an asset management Company to find the money with which to pay you.
You can buy marijuana with a credit card, no problem. Just go to a dime store, and they'll usually let you pay with anything. Or pay your dealer with paypal. Or give him some hockey tickets in lieu of cash.
Billiards tables in bars take quarters, but billiards tables at pool halls are paid for by the hour, and credit cards are accepted.
Every bar in my neck of the woods will let you run a tab on a credit card, no problem. I usually do that, then pay cash at the end of the night just so I don't have to keep on giving the bartender money after every round of drinks.
Maybe the strippers could find a way that you could just stick your credit card in their slot...<THWAP>

Who'd have thought the slashdot editors would miss such an error?

This sounds great, except for the fact that it's an Acer.
Here's a sarcasm detector, you fuckin moron.

Everything is obvious in hindsight.
Yeah, because sasha is an underground artist, like Moby. It's not like you can buy Sasha's albums at Tower Records or anything.
Don't let free software get destroyed by this clause, which seems obviously bought and paid for by Microsoft!

Go read Bruce Schneier's Applied Cryptography.
Sounds like one of the students is about to get the ole' Drexel Shaft.
Your experience doesn't apply here. The only sport regularly practiced at Drexel University is avoid the crazy-ass beggar at the 7-11.

Maybe it's about time slashdroids stopped jabbering and implemented something to improve their privacy, crowds.

If you're going to post pgp signed messages, at least post VALID pgp signed messages, you space-wasting geek.
I fail to see how paying for ads that are purposefully placed where people aren't looking is a win.
