...if a Scientologist ran for president.
Cruise has done Top Gun in the cockpit, TG behind the wheel, TG behind the bar; TG in the pool hall; TG in the Far East: how about TG in the oval office?
The critical point is the choice of VP. The only movies where he's tolerable are the ones where he's got a Hoffman or a Newman or a Nicholson to pull him out of the snotty American twit rut. Billy Connolly in The Last Samurai died early, but did a splendid job that carried Cruise, through sheer Scottish badness. Props.
Seriously, though: how removed from your own personal affirmations can a candidate be without triggering an internal lack of confidence?
Would you prefer an atheist to a Scientologist to a Hindu to an Amish candidate?
Given the fact that the political system is a meat grinder, does the question matter? How many leaders retain a recognizable link to their beliefs, anyway? Do politicians treat God the way heavy metal bands treat Satan, some kind of marketing device?
I was thinking recently that instead of English, laws could be written in something like UML that clearly defines things like scope or jurisdiction, with a special dictionary of terms to clearly specify what is meant. It could also aid in things like automatic code conflict searches, or "refactoring" old laws.
You very obviously have no grasp of the meaning of "billable hours", and must, unfortunately, be suppresed.

The fundamental foolishness of government is that, short of bloody revolution, it lacks some aspects of a degenerative feedback loop to stabilize it.
Separating the legislative, executive, and judicial powers of the government is certainly a step in the right direction. Some might argue that the balance of federal, state, and local separation has been screwed since the Civil War. (Certainly slavery was false, and a societal crack running back to the Constitution; not trying to say the Civil War was unjustified, merely that the shift from 'these United States' to 'the United States' is subtle and important)
Internally to the three branches of government though, the question is this: do their size/complexity reflect the requirements of society, or as Civ IV so brilliantly put it, is:
The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of an expanding bureaucracy
Oh, just admit it: the law is the OS of the land, and legislation is source code.
Legislators and lawyers are the coders.
And you thought <despised> had cruft/stability/performance issues...
No, trying to be manipulative has you becoming like the PHB.
However, the phrase "due diligence" comes to mind.
As with testing your code, the sooner you can spot the bug, the more gooder.
Not quite. It did cough up 503, which is 79.7216699801193% better that 401. So I got that goin' for me.
Anywayze, I already had me a fat numbah in mah.sig, so I'll stick with that.
Unix and Linux consistently met or exceeded the appropriate level of security at the time.
Still more important than this is the concept that most *nix flavors are continuously developed by a horde of people in plane sight. This Conway's Game of Life approach shakes out more bugs (hopefully at a higher frequency than they are inserted).
This results in better code in the long run. Look at the recent scheduler activity on the LKML for example.
OTOH, you've got the Temples of Syrinx approach that says the priests will give you a binary doing what you need, when you need it.
Maybe.
The point was that, given their actual definitions, I felt that using them in the context of noting that the journal was German was an example of hyperbole, the third definition given.
Sure, it fits the view of many Americans. And Germans. And Japanese. And Brits. And Russians. And Pakistanis.
xenophobia: an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers or of that which is foreign or strange. racism: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
You might also consider hyperbole: obvious and intentional exaggeration.
That's quite a good exposition, and mod points are certainly in order.
Meanwhile, back on the simple use-case of Joe The Non-security Geek User, whose chief goal is to run a wireless network, to which no one can inadvertently connect...
The other tools that caught my interest are Aircrack and Airdecap because they work for both WEP and WPA encryption, which in my experience thus far hacking tools are typically limited to WEP.
Fine. Bash WEP. But what's the point of killing myself getting WPA configured when it buys me, at most, a bit of time?
If I'm worried about packet security, better just trot out the CAT 5 cable, near I can tell.
Certainly would cut down on the configuration agony experienced across all the operating systems I use.
So WEP is like jaywalking, and WPA is using the crosswalk.
Yet getting smacked by a bus is likely fatal in either case.
Just getting hardware that is compatible and configuring it for proper use is daunting.
Under Gentoo, my ipw3945 has been an absolute mother to get configured. Udev this, regulatory daemon that, kernel driver the other, firmware the fourth. Good thing that I'm into pain and suffering.;)
WEP is 'good enough' for running your home network. It lets the neighbors now to keep out, like a lock on the door.
Like any lock, (including WPA, no?) you can beat it with enough hardware.
If you're that paranoid, you're running a wired network anyway, right?

I forget the reference, but I heard that when they move from SSNv4 to SSNv6 that there will be enough numbers for everything on the planet, and stuff.
Will Love put some time in on a third edition of his fine kernel programming book?
If only the propaganda pattern you decry were not repeated across the government and media, all across the idiotlogical spectrum.
Only when using certain obscure Perl6 operators.
