  1. When those in power abuse their power in a criminal way, they should be punished and made examples of. In this case, the officers should have their faces ripped off and nailed to the wall of the station as a warning to the rest of the force.

    It's indeed hard not to think

    Indeed. But you manage it anyway.

    The same approach they engineered around 20 years ago, with NT version 3.5, if not earlier? Darn them. Darn them to heck!

  4. I am happy to say that I have never heard of this person before this /. post, and I still have no idea who he is. I guess I don't hang out in the shittier parts of the Web.

    If the Linux personality has the same level of access to the kernel as the Windows personality, then this is a natural consequence. It's the same as if MS added a dozen new win32/64 APIs that could be exploited by apps with appropriate privileges. New code, new bugs. Total non-story.

    Right. Because anyone taking bribe money is going to put that on their tax returns. You are an idiot.

  7. Do you want details of his bedroom activity too? Just because a person has a public job does not make every interaction of theirs public.

  8. Not that I agree that Obama should (have) release(d) his birth certificate, but at least a birth certificate is relevant to one's legal suitability to be POTUS, in so far as it documents one of the requirements for the office.

    I don't think anyone should have to provide a moral justification for keeping any data private. Privacy should be the default position, and there should be a moral justification for making anything public.

    There is no public good served by making a tax return public information.

    Why would they be?

    So Wikileaks has gone from technically illegal activity to morally-wrong activity?

    A tax return is not like memos of secret negotiations or illegal spy activities. It is a document filed by a private citizen with its government. There is absolutely no moral ground to insisting it be provided to the public.

    By the same token, there's no evidence that you didn't rape your mother for 4 years straight.

  13. There is nothing in law or regulations that prohibit the DNC from using a 2-headed coin to choose the nominee.

    Armed robbery in a UK bar? What about if the Germans invade again and no one can call the RAF to send in an airstrike?

    Did you also go around and force businesses to install landlines? Land lines have been available for about 100 years, so it would have been criminal for a business not to have one publicly available for emergencies, right?

    You are a fucked-up shit. Probably the only emergency you've ever been involved with is when your friend's girlfriend broke up with him and he needed a good cry.

    If you don't have reception, you can't place a call. The bar can't be interfering with a call that isn't taking place.

    If something is legal, it's legal. Next you'll be claiming that it's a requirement for everyone to have a landline because what happens if there's an emergency and someone finds out that the owner of the location purposefully doesn't pay for phone service because he hates telephone poles.

    What the fuck are you on? Nothing legal, I imagine.

    If you're injured, you call 911 (or local equivalent). You don't "hope the phone book page you needed wasn't torn out".

    You are a fucked-up retard. Stop with the "designed by the military" shit. Arpanet was designed by universities and private companies. The funding and direction came from DARPA, but that's it. It was a way to share computing resources between institutions. They never envisioned home Internet connections, never mind cellular phones and IoT.

    You have got to be joking. The entire Linux kernel, including all the device drivers, is under 17,000,000. The space shuttle control software was less than 500,000 lines. (source)

  23. Programming, in context, is the act of instructing a general purpose computer how to accomplish a particular task. Scripting languages are used to instruct general purpose computers how to accomplish a task. Thus, scripting languages are programming languages.

    You, on the other hand, are an incredible idiot who should no longer be allowed to communicate with people.

    You can prove code is logically correct, but you can't prove the logic is correct. If you don't understand the difference, don't be a security researcher.
