Years ago (not saying how many!) I worked with a university program specializing in autonomous underwater vehicles. Their designs made the submersibles nominally buoyant so that when they lost power they would eventually surface. For deep sea applications I'm sure it's more difficult.. If it were crushed, then I imagine all bets are off.
Oh, it absolutely should be pointed out. Everything possible should be done about bringing light to drone strikes and every attempt made at ending it.
You should not be naive though, about what and how can end it. US government is the only one who can end the program. Saying it is amoral does not matter to US government. Saying it creates more terrorists does not matter to the US government. Collateral damage does not matter to the US government. The only thing that could potentially matter to them is the US citizenship. Everything else falls into the totally justifiable grey area.
They understand blowback. See also: Snowden. It has become more costly to do business as an American company since the leaks. What the US government understands is US "interests", meaning mainly the interests of US corporations. In the near term, through the courts, citizenship and the circumvention of due process can make some difference, but long term what matters is the cost/benefit to the machine.
I thought the actual story was that if you or me dislike some policy we can go fuck ourselves, whereas if the Kochs dislike it, they get a real chance to change it.
If anyone ever wonders why fabulously rich people want to keep making more money, this is why. Money=Political Power in America. It's not about how many yachts, houses or G4's you have, once you're in the billionaires club. It's about how many Senators you have doing your bidding, and how many news stations you have framing your views. Like Walter White, they are in the empire business.
Hey, keep Walter White out of this! He was doing it for his family...
Tests on rats shows they will nearly OD on something like cheese cake and yet high sugar foods are simply nibbled on and high fat foods are eaten in moderation.
But you said cheesecake. Mmmm.. so cheeeeeesy and sweeeeeeet... aaahhhghghhhh..
I think in addition there is the pull of the market. Cooking is feasible for the poor with a little planning, but people don't understand how awful fast food and processed food is. The amount of fat and sodium in prepared frozen food is absurd. Much better to cook up a pan of anything you've got, freeze or refrigerate it for later use. It's more effort to cook it up, but just dishing and nuking are just as quick if not quicker than standing in line at BK. So not only is the tastiness fooling us, it's the weight of our consumer culture. Eating healthy is "weird".
Wait, there are non-evil flowcharts? What an eye-opener.
Oh right? What was I thinking? I don't know anything about CP/M, but I do know that flowcharts are the purest evil. Unless there are doughnuts. Did the man know his doughnuts?
is this: " He was such a kind human being. He was always sharing his ideas, and would sit down with people and show flowcharts of what he was thinking."
We could use more like him. To be recognized by IEEE is great, but greater still to leave this legacy to his kids and the community.
Given the negative connotations of the word "hackers" - how about "dedicated engineers" instead?
I prefer restoring the original meaning of the "hacker" badge to its original lofty meaning as "one who hacks and hacks and hacks in the manner of a dedicated engineer until it rocks."... and this clearly rocks.

But AOL’s client had a security bug in it, called a buffer overflow. [...] AOL knew about this bug in their program and now they were exploiting it! That was what all those double zeros were for—they were just filling up space in the program’s buffer until they hit the end of the AOL client’s buffer and started overwriting executable code with the remainder of the protocol message. AOL was causing the client to look up a particular address in memory and send it back to the server.
There's something that you could always count on AOL for -- Respect for the users. Most companies, when faced with a trivially exploitable buffer overflow that could cause their chat client to execute arbitrary code would classify it as a bug and feel compelled to fix it, but that's not the AOL way. Instead they changed it from a bug to a feature which enhanced security by verifying the client's identity.
And if somewhere along the way someone else used it to own an army of AOL-zombie PCs, then that's just the price you pay. You can't make an omelette without breaking a few arms.

All the good smells were taken.
Curious as to which styles were supressed, as many of them seem to be thriving, at least here in the US.
Gaa, who can remember that many years ago??
It could be worse. They could be Naked Russian Nazi Pirates and I don't know about you but have you seen the majority of Russian Women? Yikes!
What, they aren't all exceptionally hot tennis players?
Of course they aren't, don't be so naive!
Some of them are Milla Jovovich!
Wait.. the net says she is Ukranian born, so that makes her Russian now, right?

All these reboots and reboots of reboots are making me dizzy. Actually they've reached the point where I could care fucking less.

What I got from it is that someone wanted to write a book for the $ake of writing a book.
And personally, fuck doors. Its a game....I deal with doors all day IRL and they suck too. Focus more on axes or sharks with laser beams.
Roll a 10 sided die and be done with it! Oh, wait... wrong century...
