Bitch, bitch, bitch. If you're like me then you built your own computer so you could save some money. No warranty there. That linux you use "is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY".
I don't know why you're concerned so much about a warranty. You probably don't need it.
> But should I still point a pistol at a 747 and pull the trigger, any observing policemen would be well within their rights to haul my ass off to jail.
And you would be within your rights to sue them for false arrest.
What difference does it make? If they have a missile, they will missile you regardless of whether or not you like the laser.
The worst a laser can do is scare you. If you're going to be shot, you're going to be shot regardless of whether or not you see the laser beam...
And BTW doesn't beam divergence come into play here? How did they know it was a laser and not a bright green light? I say, if they don't like the laser then don't look at it.
Sending some photons at someone (at long range) shouldn't be a crime. Missiles and bullets are illegal, but weak lasers, no. Just no.:)
If I'm overflowing a stack buffer, I'll just write the address of system() over EIP and the address of a string I control after that. Then when the function returns, it will execute system("/whatever/program/i/want").
Maybe not quite as convenient as shellcode for crackers, but virus writers will adapt and NX will mean nothing.
I don't get that. If that's what he used, that's what he used. Saying otherwise because X10 didn't pay the reporter is lying. Get some journalistic integrity... (oh fuck that, it's all about money from advertisers...)
I am very tired of seeing everything on TV blurred out. If you don't want it shown on TV, then don't use it.
Actually, m'verygoodfriends at suprnova.org (erm... well not now) provide a competing service. DVDs for free, months before they're released for us to buy.
If the MPAA wants to legislate their business model, then I want to steal their movies. Two rights don't make a wrong, but I don't see downloading movies as wrong. If they didn't want me to download it, they shouldn't have made it.
What is the point of that. The snort logs will say that you were compromised. If you didn't already know that by looking at your homepage that says "This page was compromised" then you aren't much of a sysadmin:)
Snort, I think, is better for detecting attacks from malicious crackers than detecting a virus. You need information to get the perpetrators into jail in that case, but when a virus is infecting you you don't have much legal recourse.
Unless you propose that we make running insecure software a crime. Which is an idea I like.
(Not really... I hate laws. But you know what I mean.)
Umm, it's not valid HTML 2.0 because the "bgcolor" and "text" attributes didn't exist back then! It IS valid HTML 3.2 and HTML 4.01 Transitional, however.

Many APs at my school are called "0wned by sf_killer". Who could have done that?
Actually, most people who don't have their heads up their rears (*nix users) are doing something more useful with their lives than playing HL2.
Nice way to justify your $600 graphics card, though.

He probably stuck a less-than sign in there and didn't preview. Try < next time :)
No, but feel free to send some photons their way. Photons != Bullets.
We should make the Sun illegal because if you look into that for a minute or two you might go blind.
I have an assignment for you. Using only this green laser from ThinkGeek, take down a commercial airline.
I'll bet you can't do it. Wonder why.

Bullshit.
I shined a HeNe lab laser into my eye and it didn't do anything other than looking like a bright red thing was taking over the lab...
A laser pointer simply isn't powerful enough to do damage. You said you were drunk, that was probably the problem.
I just shined a laser pointer into my eye, and it's fine. I can see fine and it didn't hurt...
He's talking about making a Light Saber.
Well damn. Isn't that too bad for them then?
If you're allergic to common foods then don't go outside.
Full screen X. I use it from time to time when I need to concentrate (and don't want to see my WiFi signal strength, time and date, CPU load, etc.)
And you think chlorophyll just happens to be green for no good reason?
It is evolution at work; the green plants made most efficient use of the sun's radiation and lived on.
There are ways around that. The true solution to the problem is to not overflow your buffers!
NX doesn't fix anything.

I read the linked Adsense policy, and there was nothing there stating that you couldn't tell us what you made. Cough it up.
Oh, I know. If he tells us he'll have to pay taxes to the IRS. Didn't think about that, didya.
A heater is a resistive load.
The blower is inductive, but the heating element is what's using the power.
I do a lot better in Gran Turismo with the d-pad. The analog sticks are weird...

First, kill someone. Then run a red light while disposing of the body. :-)

And usually it sets it up wrong, so the OS has to set it all up anyway. :)
LinuxBIOS boots so fast because it doesn't bother to do anything to the BIOS; Linux will do that when it's executed.
