This retarded idea is probably going to kill fb off. It's amazing sometimes to watch some company implement a goddamn stupid idea and shoot themselves in the foot.
I imagine most first world governments have a cyber division by now, who are quietly searching for exploits, and when one is found it's put into a database for future use, and not reported to whoever made the software. I'll but when shellshock was discovered by external security researchers there was a collective "Aaah Damn It!" from the NSA.
Any site will collapse if there is an unusually high volume of traffic. Why spend millions in hardware that is going to idle just to cater for the odd spike or/. effect. I don't even know why this is news? Are they going to post an article each time/. or twitter et al accidently drops someone's website because of a post?
Instead of invading our privacy to "protect the children" make the fucking penalty of molesting children death. Instead of a slap on the wrist two year sentence and then letting the fucker walk around to do it again. The Russians do more, they do chemical castration.
SQL injection would work on any OS, it's about badly written software running on the OS.
So would stealing usernames and passwords.
Pull the penguin out your ass.
That's because 95% of them are uneducated and swallow the rhetoric the politicians shit out, mixed in with ballot rigging and violence and intimidation at the voting booth. One thing Mugabe did right in Zimbabwe was to raise the education level, still ended up being a shit hole though so...
I disagree, what's the harm in pinning your most commonly used programs to the task bar? You do realise that right clicking most programs (Visual studio, any office program even UltraEdit) brings up a convenient list of recently open documents / projects. For outlook you can create new emails, appointments etc without having to go into Outlook.
That's just plain stupid. So any malware author can now run their files through the FBI's malware program until they figure out a way to get past all it's checks.

I've stopped using google as my primary search engine, it sucks at searching for warez (yes I pirate the odd movie, am currently stuck in an ass backward country) and the first ranking searches are paid for. It tracks the crap out of you and now there is a big push from them to try match all your google accounts together so they can track you even better. Fvck that sh!t. I have to use 3 different browsers just to stop it. With all the DMCA notices they are receiving their searches are getting next to useless. Started using bing (god forbid but it WAS better for certain searches) until I discovered duckduckgo.
Where I live (South Africa) the car manufacturers were accused of price fixing and fined. Didn't bring down the price of cars though. One guy found it was cheaper to fly to Australia, buy his car there and have it shipped back to South Africa. The car is made here, in Port Elizabeth.
I only mod up, when I think it's justified. Most time my points expire. And I still think/. is informative et al. Maybe it doesn't have the same tone as a couple years ago but things change, so...
Nice Router, I had to run an Ethernet cable downstairs from the loft into a second router on the first floor to cover the rest of my house. House is all brick and mortar, not sure what the floor is made out of but it stops the wireless signal dead. On the plus side I stuck the router behind the TV and plugged it into the network. Can stream anything to the TV without any hiccups.
Or "the system is unstable and keeps breaking, massage the data to get it working again, we don't have the source code anymore and to rewrite it will take too much money/time". Some days I feel more like a goddamn dba than a programmer.
And with current technology would have to be the size of Chicago - we don't currently have the technology to create AI, all we can do is simulate morons. With Moors law slowing down, unless we have a breakthrough we may never have true AI. All I know is as soon as the first true AI is created I'm out of a job. I'm a programmer, the first true AI will be able to churn out billions of lines of code for whatever system you want in seconds.
I'll be damned, went into winamp and searched for a U2 song and found one. Didn't think I had any. "New years day" Just had to share that. It's Monday!
Grow up, there is no way a nuclear cauterization would ever be condoned. Just because it's Africa and you don't give a fvck about it doesn't mean you can nuke it.
Fixed that for you - although I was not attributing it to anyone, I was just saying who I stole it from.
Considering it's generally attributed to Mark Twain who himself attributed it to Benjamin Disraeli, so no one really knows - did it really matter?
Couldn't agree more - gone are the days when you needed to upgrade every six months, now I only feel the need to upgrade every ~3 years. RAM is so cheap I stuck another 16gb in my machine just for the hell of it. I don't bother writing anything to DVD either, I just buy another external HDD - in fact I am using the SATA port for my main SSD, the DVD drive is not even plugged in anymore.

I've got a solar powered charger which also has a battery in, so it can charge a cell phone at night as well.

Wake up, you're already there.
Who the fvck cares, it's not like he actually has any power anyway, just "vote" another puppet in.

I would just shoot the hostage

Yeah cos that worked so well in Iraq and Afghanistan.
