  1. No religion also have common definition(s) and this is obviously not a proper use of the term. Stop making up things and use the right words, you are on a technology orientated website and _should_ know the value in proper use of terms when communicating.

    So you don't like gender studies. Okay. What makes that a religion rather than a science-based thing (coupled with philosophy in many cases)?
    You can go about it and say the studies that have been made are weak, done in the wrong manner, have biases etc. and that would be proper. But there are studies done. Some may be wrong (I don't care and have not read any so have no idea) but that doesn't make it religion.
    You may not agree with some of the philosophy and again criticism would be proper - however not making the field into a religion.

    But the "standard" of expression of genders etc. isn't fixed either in local history or as seen globally. That means the field is a proper one to study and reason about.
    Personally I don't give a crap - people can feel think and act as they want as long as they behave respectfully towards others.

  2. I could point out a lot of illogical things here but choose one thing: you obviously don't know what leftism is, not even the use of the word in the US.

    You don't think the increased acceptance of homosexuals and intersex people have something to do with your increase? That the Internet allows people to learn that one actually can live as one feels like? That one doesn't need to hide anything and still have a worthy life?

    Nah. False news and SJW propaganda forcing people to do things against their will is of course the sole reason.

    I hope you understand that your thinking on corporations is equally valid applied on humans? Humans have no right to exist. There are no rights at all unless a group of people decide that there are certain rights and enforces them. Choosing those rights always means some people are forced to follow rules they don't agree with.

    The group of people have decided that corporations should exist therefore they _have_ a right to exist.

    Where did you see that they were exempt from the documentation part of the license? I also think that it is fine not documenting the use for this case but being interested in the development doesn't give a copyright/license exemption.

    There have to be no copyright notice at all for the copyright to be valid. The copyright doesn't have to be registered to be valid.

    The potential problem here is that the license states that it should be noted somewhere that the product uses Minix, not that the copyright notice for Minix wasn't visible before buying the product.

    LOL!

  19. How I create new passwords:
    Look around me, papers and books, signs. Names from foreign countries are often a good source (unusual letter combinations). Cola bottle on the table? More indata. Select letters from the source data as random as possible. Take numbers, EAN codes, etc. Mix. Capitalize letters as randomly as possible.
    At least 8 alphanumeric characters are needed, more is better.

    It's of course not as secure as a true random number but secure enough that cracking them would be very hard. PITA to remember though so they have to be written down and/or used with some form of password manager.

  20. How about:
    Crook: Let's see, here we have a file I want to run and for some reason I have the right to run -> let's go transactional!

    NTFS: Ah, a transactional lock! Don't see those too often!

    Crook: Modify the file that I for some reason have the right to modify _wïthïn_thá_transáctïon_ HOHOHO!!

    NTFS: Okay... Got that.

    Scanner: Ah ho a hum, don't see shit... Boring.

    Crook: Now let's do the cool thing and run this modified shït!

    System: Let's see... Loading a file within a transactional lock? Now I don't like this, I don't like this AT ALL! *plonk*

    Crook: OMGWTF?!? I can't run the file :(((

    Crook: (releases lock either voluntarily or when killed by system)

    NTFS: Ah, a transactional release! Don't see those too often!

    Scanner: Still don't see shit... Really boring, should take up macrame or something.

  21. One still have to have the rights to open and modify the file, one still have to have the rights to execute the file. It's "just" that one can replace a section of a file one already could modify and execute in a way that malware scanners can't detect.

    To me this isn't a huge problem - if security requires malware scanning one have no security. And it is using functionality not commonly used together so a hack that detects the combination and handles it should be relatively easy. But why care?
