"Web accelerators" have been doing this for over a decade. It's why developers should really, really stick to GET = idempotent so that someone loading a page with "delete" links doesn't suddenly discover that everything has been deleted.
Good luck with your mission to compel everyone to fit into your mold. Some parting words to think about: "swear allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer".
we have to work on the questions (some were probably not that new to him)
Some of the questions were old enough to have webpages dedicated to them that have been there for over a decade (the authors' guidelines dates back to 2003 on the wayback machine).
or he had just a bad day
As interviews go, it's less conversational and significantly more bullet-point than what we usually get. He didn't use it as a platform to ham up some new project (let's talk about Rampart!) Just about every question was answered, some directly, some with links (eg to the massive amount of information that's been already published on the subject of the raid - which wayback has at that link since 1998). I don't know what his usual interview writing style is to compare it to, so I wouldn't call it "phoned in", just not what we're used to.
And that's exactly why I still have flash and click-to-play installed, because I don't want them to autoplay flash bullshit OR autoplay html5 bullshit.
Open any book by any publisher. Editing and quality control are now "cost centers" that don't "make money", so nobody wants to spend money on it. For the cost of a good editor they can pick up another monkey for their army of typewriters. And that's what's committed to paper. Look upon my ebooks ye might y and de-spair.
So you give copies of the keys to your house to the FBI, Sheriff's office, Constable, the US Marshals, the Highway Patrol, the Texas Rangers? Do you stop at the US Border? What about the Mounties? Interpol? The Hague?
Didn't someone get a signing cert issued to them for Microsoft updates once? They could do that again.
Personally, though, I suspect the real attack would be to block the update that fixes whatever the latest bug is by offering all the officially signed Microsoft updates except for the one the attacker intends to use to upgrade from owning your router to owning the rest of your computers.
Funny, but it's true. If you join a swarm of other people downloading pirated content, you're handing out your IP address to everyone and anyone who asks for it by scraping the tracker or joining the swarm. All of the peer guardians and blocklists in the world don't change this fundamental feature of the protocol.
If you don't want people to find out what you're downloading, using bittorrent is doing it wrong.
I think you must have made a typo there somewhere, I tried to understand what you were saying, but I'm unable to reconcile it with all of our economic models based on rational actors. Since clearly the economic models are correct, whatever you're proposing is just wrong.
Python is absolutely strongly typed. It's just not statically typed (variable names declared in advance with specific types). steve = 3 followed by steve = 'House' is perfectly fine due to dynamic typing, but if you follow that with bob = steve + 3 you get an error because steve is a string object, and adding a string object and an integer object together is not supported, and python makes no attempt to convert the type of steve or the type of 3 to force it to work.
According to Wikipedia, Elop was in a "major leadership position" as the head of the Business Division at Microsoft prior to becoming Nokia's CEO, after the acquisition he returned to Microsoft as a VP.
I can't for the life of me imagine why someone could imagine him as a sucking tendril, deployed from the creeping horror that is Microsoft to latch onto some poor victim, injecting acid into it and dissolving it from within and sucking the guts out of the rapidly dessicating corpse before being withdrawn back into the writhing mass of flesh it calls home. No sirree, can't even fathom it.
Which is why I've tied a monitor to the ceiling, playing a video of what my screen looks like while I'm working, and have my google glasses propped up on top of my head looking up.
I'd love to hear how people performed CPR in the 1700s. Did they have a clue what they were doing or were they just beating the Devil out of the man?
Jude was a member of a team of people who worked out compression frequency and breathing and then demonstrated that it worked on humans as an alternative to cutting them open and massaging their heart by hand.
Don't swap the control and alt keys, please. I have to press ^A, ^X, ^C and those are going to be absolutely awkward if the keys are right under each other. Put it where the capslock key is now, so ^A is just shifting my fingers a key left.
because they didn't think MPEG-LA's pool charged enough
Of course it didn't charge enough! Why join a patent pool and get some tiny fraction of some fraction of revenue, when you can just sue directly and demand 5% of the revenue from the source?
The Sewing Machine Patent Combine worked because there were three patent holders. When there are 3000 patent holders, all of them want their 5% and the system breaks down completely.
That's OK, the troll has probably already filed for patents on using some other encryption algorithm they didn't invent with some other communications protocol they didn't invent, that was originally designed to be able to use the algorithm in the way they claim they invented.
Better yet would be if the vendors just took care of it, of course, but given their lack of motivation and alacrity
Perhaps the first step could be to hack the execs' phones and make them send text messages out to all the employees telling them that this patch needs to be pushed ASAP.
Is that like the login form AT&T used for a while to pretend it was all mobile-6-point-oh-like where the password field was a plain text box with a script that turned the letters you typed into dots after you type the next letter?
There's a reason that all the major browsers don't autofill forms until you tell it to.

Nice try, but a nerd in a suit is still a nerd.
Just as it should be.

It's possible!

Well damn, back to the drawing board.
Nonono, "self" replicating means that they don't have to come back to you to buy the second one.

Prior to that, people just blew air into you, then pushed on your chest to push the air out or moved your arms and chest around to get air in and out of your lungs. They didn't even think about trying to get your heart to beat for you, except maybe by accident.
Just issue everyone a new set of fingerprints.
THANKS FOR TELLING ME ABOUT CAPS LOCK1 NOW I DON'T HAVE TO HOLD THE SHIFT KEY ANYMORE1
