...I don't know much about american government's procurement process but it seems to me that all their deals will be put under a microscope from now on....
That is soooooo cute.
Let me learn you on the american government process: 1. Cheat the government 2. Get found guilty 3. Make campaign contributions, to ensure contracts keep getting sent your way 4. PROFIT!
First they came for the Red Light Runners and I did not speak out because I was not a Red Light Runner. Then they came for the Speeders and I did not speak out because I was not a Speeder. Then they came for the No Signal Lane Changers and I did not speak out because I was not a No Signal Lane Changer. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
And if I was at all security related this is the first kind of person I'd be looking for. I mean think about it, who would you hire to do a security audit: someone who's broken into tons of systems or someone with an MCSE who took a weekend seminar about how to make IIS suck less?
Can I make one suggestion: don't do a press release of your ingenious hiring tactic
I think you *might* have some system problems if certain people knew where he was working - because for all the lulz these guys had, I think they are all out of them now and might be a little pissed off
State lawmakers have tabled a proposal that would have required Internet service providers to retain all Hawaii consumers' subscriber data and browsing histories for a minimum of two years.
Introduced a way to combat Internet-related crime, House Bill 2288 received support from Honolulu's police and prosecutor departments and one individual, but was otherwise greeted with vehement opposition at a hearing Thursday.
Opponents of the legislation expressed concerns about privacy and the costs associated with storing such large volumes of data.
Others told House members the sweeping Hawaii proposal made the widely-protested "Stop Online Piracy Act" and "Protect Intellectual Property/IP Act" before look mild by comparison.
The House Economic Revitalization and Business Committee decided to hold off on state action to see what happens with online piracy legislation in Congress.
I wonder if this is related at all to the big tax break/write off/whatever that bush gave to businesses if they bought a car over, what was it, like 5000 lbs? All I know is the lady who owns the little nail salon is now driving an escalade. that had to hurt a bit, eh?
Yup, that's totally it. I can see Michael Bay's next screenplay forming...
Quick, grab a spoon (tablespoon) and gently push it under your eyeball as you pull your eyelid away. once you are in just pop the sucker out, then just cut the optic nerve. Repeat on your other eye.
Whew! Now you don't have to see horrible things like that anymore.
If you're not liberal when you're young you don't have a heart, If you're not conservative when you're old you don't have a brain.
I think that pretty much sums up your point
To the OP, yeah you should be smart about your career -- but then again who has ever done that and enjoyed their life? You can't put a price on happiness and satisfaction. Unless you're a sell out. Selling out is a viable option, who would manage engineers if no one sold out? Of course I'm single and have zero responsibilities so if you have kids and stuff don't listen to me.
You spend all this time writing this creative software (malware)...
Try fracking finding someone who can proofread your english; it's abysmal and frankly embarrassing. I realize it is not your native language but this lack of attention to detail is exactly the reason you find yourself writing malware in the first place... oh and why the only people you manage to trick into this are on the bottom side of the intelligence bell curve.
I remember this "antisense" stuff from probably 15 years ago. It was the hot pharma back then and there were probably 5-10 companies that went public over the hype of this new drug "technology".
I was actually a little shocked that someone had got it to work. From what I recall it is a targeted drug based on DNA of the target. It sounded very promising, but for some reason it never actually worked all that well. I think it was because you had to shove so much of the drug in that the side effects were pretty bad.
is the fact that these guys might have actually thought they could predict Soccer games.
They can very easily "predict" market moves in very short time frames -- they have access to real time data as well as prices/sizes of tickets that are lying outside current bid/ask range.
Frankly anyone here could write a program to predict that a stock and, by doing this for multiple stocks, an index using this information to calculate momentum. Place a bet with enough money and you only need a small change so you can make your bet after the move has already begun.
These aren't really "predictions" but rather having enough information to make a bet with significantly less risk... if there are a bunch of buyers and few sellers below you then you are protected on the downside and if there are bunch of buyers and few sellers above you then the stock is going to go up -- you just have to give it a little nudge.

I forget which comedian this was from:
"What would your dog say if it could talk? Probably 'You know, vomit really ain't half bad!'"
This is either a sign of complete, magical belief in technology or judicial incompetence.
Unfortunately I lean towards the latter.
Or its just Germans being German.
There's nothing between those lines!
um. was that meant to be funny, because I really don't know ... and the fact that I even have to ask makes me really sad

exactly. now please delete all other comments and just leave the parent here. not even sure why this question needed to be asked.
the human trials are over and it is considered safe for us to use now?
Then just put a piece of glass over the coating
oh, wait....
Yep. I wonder if they get brown shirts to wear.
AT&T violates its customers privacy
AT&T is a telecommunications company
Telecommunication is the transmission of information over significant distances to communicate.
OnStar is a telecommunications company
Therefore, OnStar violates its customers privacy
A ponzi schema is taking the money from new entrants to pay out the old timers.
Poker is taking the money from losers and giving it to the winners.
And in a ponzi schema the old timers are the only ones who make money. So they are the winners, ergo the new entrants are the losers
Therefore poker is a ponzi scheme,
next.

Thanks bro. Sweet site. Made geeks a powerful force, which is awesome.
Here is the saying that has stuck in my head:

If you're not conservative when you're old you don't have a brain.

That's OK your honor, most of the geniuses I work with don't understand it either.
