Just think of them as the Dark Knight of the internet.
Yeah, a Batman that attacks the good and the bad alike and has developed remarkably lopsided upper body strength through frenzied fapping to hentai.
You're not describing anon. What you have there is a sank fantasy for social justice fetishists.
Theres a dangerous road to go down, since that could be 3/4 of the people hospitalized, at least to some interpretation of idiotic, informed, and self inflicted.
Yep, completely agree. It's better to rely on the notion that the majority of people will avoid injuring themselves most of the time doing silly things. I'd rather not have to surrender my medical coverage if I should decide this Sunday to head out and play some Sunday league football with a bunch of hungover blokes from the pub.
Besides, people will do silly shit anyway. It's like there are many Peter Griffin characters getting medical cover and then deciding to go injure themselves so they can avail of it. Besides, if it's a serious risk to health the HSE or something similar will step in with a less than friendly warning.
I happen to be interested by the implementation of Javascript engines these days - but I don't know yet if I will write my own any time soon ! Anyway, this emulator was a way to learn how to write optimized code for recent Javascript engines, in particular Jaeger Monkey (for Firefox 4) and V8 (for Chrome).
Have they improved at all in the last 10 years? Last serious interaction I had was in trying to explain to their staff how their own extended support products work. A series of questions helped.
1) Who sold this?
2) Which company's name is on the paperwork?
3) If PC World sold this support contract, and the paperwork says that PC World are providing the support, does it make sense to tell a customer to contact the manufacturer in the expectation that they should honor the promises made by PC World?
It's very rewarding to see a brief glimmer of understand in their eyes. They'll hopefully apply their new-found curiosity for knowledge when they get sent on training - "Enterprise Masterclass: Using caps lock to make things all big"
PC World cannot be fashionable, seriously. It's like thinking that butter can be low in fat, or that serial rapists would be great chaperones at a high school prom.
If on the off-chance that hipsters come to see buying shit from uninformed grinning gimps in a warehouse setting, then yes, PC World could indeed become a fashionable place to shop. Google may just as well be sticking their store next to the mystery biscuits in the Catford Aldi.
Awlaki will be a tough act to follow. I don't imagine there's a long queue of people wanting to sign-up to become a sexually repressed violent woman haters with extreme delusions of grandeur.
First, "Drones" don't kill anyone. Saying so is like saying that "Close Quarters Battle Rifle Kills Osama bin Laden." Special forces personnel, supported by the people who operate the drones and the Air Force pilot(s) who flew the fighter that was also involved, all under the command of the leadership running that show, and all under the direction of the C-in-C are what what killed "Mr." Awlaki.
Giving away software to students only to make them buy it at full price later when they work in a company is like handing out crack in the schoolyard to make the kids addicted to it, then offering it to them at full price.
You check check an analogy to see whether or not it's become ridiculously out of proportion. To do this, simple reverse the analogy.
Handing out crack in the schoolyard to get kids addicted to it is like giving out free or heavily subsidized software to students, to later sell them full-price versions when they enter the workforce.
And if they do, they're no longer acting within the bounds of the law, and the law itself is therefore legally null and void, and thus disobeying it can never under any circumstances be a crime. Any punishment levied against those who do is also illegal.
Is that illegal illegal, as in there's law to support this, or is it illegal in same way that I cannot be liable for taxes if demands from the IRS were written under a full moon, with my name in all caps?
I've used proxies when wanting to view TV on sites that won't accept connections from my country. It may also be that a user doesn't necessarily want their browsing habits to be visible to their ISP or even their country.
There are plenty of legitimate reasons to use proxies and VPN, and I'd consider avoiding prosecution under unjust laws in your home country to be among those. Although breaking UK law is certainly an issue for HMA, I would hope that they're not going to be turning over details to the Iranian government when they suspect that someone has offended Allah by having the temerity to fall in love with someone of the same gender.
The site is a bit light on decent terms of use information for the free service, but if I sign-up for the pro-service, and use it to break the law, how have HMA committed fraud if they're legally obliged to hand-over what minimal data they log, and they've clearly stated that "Anonymity services such as ours do not exist to hide people from illegal activity..."?
I doubt it'd be illegal for the developers. The onus to retain logs instead appears to be on the operators of the code.
I hope that the EU hasn't yet reached the point at which developers can face criminal prosecution for creating a tool that allows a Little Mermaid DVD to be backed-up or format shifted for private use.
It would depend on what they're promising in their terms of service. I imagine they'll have something in there to grant themselves permission to share data when required to do so under law. A contract agreeing to an illegal act would be void. HMA can no-more offer a legally binding contract to provide crackers with complete anonymity any more than a hit man could sign a legally enforceable contract in which he promises to kill someone.
Assuming that is true, I suspect that reform of immigration is a slightly more humane option than the equivalent of letting letting the homeless die each winter to reduce the number of beggars one must pass when wandering around the city.
That's why we manage to choose such shit politicians in Ireland. The machines know that if we chose people capable of governing competently and without lining their own pockets the human batteries would become suspicious.
I have a terrible feeling that in the future we'll be seeing cyborg homeopaths and astrologers traveling in flying cars with little fish decals proudly displayed on the back.

I'm glad we have this opportunity to compare Lunix against what else is out there. I don't doubt that more professional commercial systems can be hacked. What I think though is that seeing Linus erasing and reinstalling his servers is an example of how flawed Lunix is. There's just no way a Windows server with Norton could be compromised in this manner. Even if somehow a trojan virus did get through then I'd run Norton and a registry cleaner and everything would be back to normal. I haven't reinstalled Windows now for months, and apart from running a bit slow it's fine. My ISP claimed that there's unusual traffic coming from my servers - which I explained is probably virii bouncing off of Norton and my Fire Wall.
Lunix users, you should think long and hard about your chosen operating system. If he's this disorganized then what are you going to do when you get sued for using a system proven to built on copyright and patent infringement? Sure you could try MAC (Lunix put in a shiny case). Neither Apple nor Linus will come to your rescue when you're sued for running patent and copyright infringing software. This will be unpopular with the mods but there is only one secure and legal option - Microsoft Windows with Norton.

I'd take a paratha over a drink. Bread's pretty good for shifting the Capsaicin.

Matthew 5:28. "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Hooray for thought crime.
You are incredibly odd. I'm talking Star Trek/Lord of The Rings cross-over fan fiction odd.

That is annoying. I recall a friend having the same thing happening at around 3 or 4 each morning.
