thou shalt not put ok on the left side of cancel in one place and on the other side in others
Thou shall label buttons meaningfully, OK should not mean destroy my work and OS in one place and stop me from doing something incredably stupid in an other
the cntrl c, v, and x will only be used for copy, paste and delete in application that run both in Windows and Linux and appear basicly the same in both.
thou shall remember that the more often a user has to click an alert box, the less like the user is to read or comprehend the alert
thou shalt store user preferences in the user's space as well as not placing your program in the auto-start w/o the users expilcit permission

thou shalt not rename common libaries to create vendor lock-in
thou shalt not write progams that will only run as root or admin unless only root or admin should run them
Education and training actually does better security and society as a whole. Maybe we should get a copy of Moodle installed somewhere and put up some cyber security courses, K-Ph. D. levels should cover it.
Cyber security really starts at each individual user Exactly but what doesn't help is when on sub-department of HLS says don't use IE6.0 it's insecure for the average user and an other like FEMA say's you must use IE6.0 to access this site and get emergency money. In the military their is a saying that goes "A poor plan well executed is better than a good plan poorly executed". The feds are showing numerous signs of poor executuion, if they can't decide if we can use IE6.0 or not inside one department, it bodes ill for the whole government.
Unfortunately there is no way they can really Identify you. At best current technics can exclude you, but nothing identifies you. There was an article in the WSJ, 5 fingerprint examiner were given a set of prints and told they were from a notorious case where there print were first reported to match, then later detrermine to not match. In fact the prints were from a criminal case where each examiner had testified earier. Only one examiner said the prints did in fact match consistant with his previous testimony, all the others either said they didn't match or weren't sure, inconsistant with their previous tesimony, all because the examiners expected the prints to be a non-match.
The problem is forensics is not rigorously tested, and unscientific. What needs to be done is form known matches and known non-matches need to be slipped into each examiners normal work load as a control. With a controol each examinaer would develope a standard error rate so proper statistics can be determined. Then the examiners would have to testify that a set of prints match and that he is wrong 20% of the time.
There are a lot of ways to fake foresinic evidence, and juries are all to willing to except it as a 100.00000% science period dot. I have a lot more resepct for DNA analysis because it's presented as a probability, like blood typing is. RFID tags, I'm thinking of swapping tags, jammers, spoofers, all for people of nefarious intent to set up false alibies while prep'ing a crime and falsly pointing to innocent decoys.
Most posts I remember is when MySQL hits the wall, you're ready for replacement with Oracle, when Postgres hits the wall and you're ready for Oracle replacement, you've got three steps farther than you would have with MySQL. I suppose that changing a database is relativly easy, changing databases well is relatively hard. If your astute enough of a DBA or database programmer to do both, then you'd know that neither MySQL nor Postgres is a replacement for Oracle and vica versa.
The people with the most free time to dedicate to an online encyclopedia will always be the people least-qualified to contribute, I've found that the articles that I've looked at have been deep-linked to Public Museum's and University websites leading me to believe that over-educated, under-suppervised public servants do a lot of authoratative editing on the job and their spare time.
You actually become less informed by watching Fox! Possibly the study is inverting cause and effect, more likely people who are highly intollerate of a representation that doesn't fit their point of view are more likely to watch Fox because it fits their point of view better. I'm sure that examples can be found for the opposing point of view as well.
There is an appalling amount of people from knee-jerk liberals to litmus-test conservatives who have substituted the "party-line" for critical thinking; and run any input through their personal reality-filter before processing.
you said " These drugs work on PDE-5, preventing its inactivation which results in a prolonged activity of PDE-5 and therefore, prolonged vasodilation. The problem is with this lack of selectivity issue. As discussed above, these drugs also inhibit a closely related phosophodiesterase enzyme, phosphodiesterase6 (PDE-6) which is found in the retina and plays an important role in the normal visual transduction cascade." and your wife said "wow, so you pop a rod and you pop rods". I can see that your writing is authoratative, but may not be communicative to the average six-pack joe who wonders why pecker pills makes him see bluish.
real estate infomercials telling you how you can be a millionaire by buying his training system Most they're buying foreclosed or tax autioned properties and hoping your the only bidder. Makes money sure, I've thought about doing it but somehow it seemed too vampyric for my tastes; I imagine lawyers would be good at it.
I don't think that everyone is delusional and thinks that just by publishing something about anything that you'll find a market and be rolling in cash somewhere down the line I do somehow, I got the feeling that this was a MLM scheme, but I was wrong. I've been in Amway, and yes I lost some money, $100.00 to be exact, and that was completely due to my poor judgement, not Amway. So I am a bit sensitive to scheming, so what the scheme;
Rowse is a legit blogger who finaly manage to get his blog on/.'s front page and profits,
Most likely the Rowse is an astroturfer for chitika and his results are best-of-breed and not typical,
Rowse is an amalgam of best-of-breed and represents peak one-time earnings presented as possible from a company worried about AOL and Google aquiring their revenue stream and saw a chance to get/.ed for profit,
Rowse is part of a click-ring of blogers who click each other's ads in a variation of a kiting scheme and saw/.ing as a means to camofludge their activites,
Take your pick. The financial risk of trying this is fairly low, so I guess no harm, no foul. Now there are always people who will think that money will just jump into their pockets; these people are usualy disapointed; you want to make money, you have to work or sell.
Freinds of mine would fall into your low-life hitting the lottery on and off welfare a couple of arrests then bam hit the mega-millions for $241M on a $5.00 easy-pick, lump sum got them $89M after taxes which collects $6500.00 a day! I was going to flame you but shit I figure the unvarnished truth would burn you enough.
Wow an actor getting paid what he's worth, seriously Cambell is a fair actor, but he gets stuck with the lamest scripts on low budget movies; I guess he most really love acting else he'd be off selling tractors or used cars or something for more money.
Intersting article, I didn't realize that ANFO had that high a detonation rate, still ANFO does require containment to detonate like black or smokeless powder and unlike C4, Comp B, TNT, RDX, or picric acid which can be detonated without containment and Dynamite which is detonatable with reduced efficency w/o containment. This means I'll have to be more precise in terminology in the future. If you ever get the chance to detonate a 1 lbs block of C4 or TNT, then a pound of ANFO, you'll see a qualitative difference w/o resorting to scientific testing.
I guess that's why we are two peoples seperated by a common language. Of course you'd think that after years of BOFH, Money Python and Benny Hill we'd get the hang of the language.
using laser, or anything else, to blind is against the geneva convention. Dazzel is ok but optics make finding the line between dazzel and blind too fine to tread on.
We had a bunch of guys in our battalion into serious competition, they were real good at put tight groups on paper targets at outragious ranges, M-16's, M-14's, M-60 machine guns, they'd usualy place at the nationals in Camp Perry. I tried it could never get past average; however my right eye is near-sighted and my left is normal. This allowed me to shoot with both eyes open, rt eye gets a good sight-picture, left eye sees the targets well. This is a major advantage in qualifing because we shot 3D pop-up targets, and most are at least partialy obscured by brush. I could see a "head pop" up at 300m and make a hit, even better were the 25m targets, two at each side of the firing lane, the large angle between them made it impossible to see when looking through the site. These guys that placed in national competition used to pay me money to qualify for them, they couldn't do it!
No need to hide your heat signature when it's 100 degrees outside. yeah but you gotta shoot sooner or later and muzzle flash is between 800 and 1500 kelvin, make a hell of a bloom on thermal.
The name sniper is a bit ambiguious, it could mean
a professional sniper, trained long and hard in marksmanship, concealment and camoflage who is an extremely valuable resourse to his command who take one shot ant long range to eliminate specific targets for maximum military advantage from a carefully select ambush site with superlative escape routes, or
a normal grunt who's shit is weak anyways and takes a couple targets of opertunity and hopes he can get the hell out of dodge in the confusion
You rarely hear the sound of the discharge because your ears are ringing from the supersonic shock wave from the bullet passing by before the discharge sound even gets to you. Even with ear-plugs in you get a headache from 4 or 5 rifle bullets passing within 3 meters of you, it causes you cheeks to slap against you gums, it hurts.
no more like a day trip, or if your a guy and a brain worker pick something physical that can be finished, finishing something gives a sense of control that men need to control stress, if a woman do some girly thing like complain about it to your bestfriend./. is too close to the source of the problem for IT workers; porn would be better!
He certanly does now about it, he took a 3hr cont ed class on it and actualy stayed for 15 minutes before sneeking out the door to shot a couple rounds of golf.
He said he disliked cubicals because they background noise was distracting, couldn't get into the "zone", couldn't do the "quality work"; but I heard, he has a lack of focus, and that is a sign and symptom of burnout and depression. Depression limits focus and creativity, which will make any job more difficult, which leads to more depression; when little shit starts to bothers you, maybe its time to look at the comp package and use one or two of those sick days for mental health.
Everybody is going to go through a sitsuational depressions/burn-outs, and the first time is going to be a real whammy, after you've learned how you react to it and develope some compensitory behaviours it easy to nip it in the bud before its too self-reinforcing for self-help.
After having used linux on my desktop for 10 years, I'll have to say that the evil software empire called Microsoft sells some very good hardware. If they start selling portable music thingies, apple is going to do some real competeing is that market. I know xbox is kinda lame but that's more of an exception than a rule.
I don't recommend it but here's how it works, a musician if they are lucky, actualy get 8-12 cents a CD. Frequently they end up oweing money to the record company. If an average fan has $50.00 to spend on entertainment and they buy 4 CDs, the artist gets less than 50 cents, if they go to a concert and buy a tee shirt the artist get about $25.00! So by stealing from the record company which probably own all the rights to the music and has contracted with the artist to share a portion of the non-existant profits, you ripping them off 50 cents from the record lable, but replacing with 25.00 at the concert gate while spending the same amount of money.
In short stealing the music, but going to the concerts, cut the middle men out and benefits the performing artist more. The middle men are a mean, nasty, coniving sort and don't take kindly to be ripped off. They will make an example out of you. These guys are preditors and you are prey wheather you are a music lover or a musician, you're still prey and they will protect their hunting grounds.
