And as I pointed out, the only natural law is the law of the jungle. Everything else is artificial, with no basis in fact. Most exchanges aren't voluntary. Humans are greedy - if they could have everything without giving anything in exchange, they would. They only make "voluntary exchanges" because they have to - no money, no candy.
Shhh - we now know that Sarah Palin posts on slashdot - "Going Rouge":-) If she's busy here, she's not screwing things up elsewhere. Now maybe we can also get Trumputin to stop by?
From the official announcement by the Department of Justice, the guy was NOT a sysadmin. He was a help desk monkey.
Appearing before Senior United States District Judge David Briones, Venzor pleaded guilty to one count of transmission of a program to cause damage to a computer. By pleading guilty, Venzor admitted that on September 1, 2016, after being terminated from his position at the company’s help desk, he logged onto the company’s network through an administrator account and shut down the company’s email server and application server while deleting systems files essential to restoring computer operations.
All this "sysadmin gone bad" stuff is one big April Fools joke.
Set the handle to send a pointer to the struct. The handle expects a void *, so there’s an implicit cast from the struct’s pointer type to, effectively, nothing.
A void pointer is NOT a pointer to nothing. At least it better not be.:-)
All I can say is that the majority of women I know have been sexually assaulted on one or more occasions. The figures are probably under-estimated, but this is over the course of a lifetime, not a 3 or 4-year university stint. Still... (and that's not counting stalkers and other creepy crap).
Trade is not always equitable or fair. Ask Trumputin. Ask Ireland during the potato famine. Ask the colonies during the American revolution. Ask any of the banana republics. There are plenty more examples - many of which involve the US destabilizing governments to advance American business interests.
Also noted in the article is that Canadians have much higher access to organ transplants than the US:
The study found a greater proportion of patients in Canada had transplants (of any organ) - 10.3 per cent of patients vs. 6.5 per cent.
That's 58% more access to organ transplants. As for the drugs, anyone can import a 6-month supply of pharmaceuticals into Canada for personal use provided they have a valid prescription, so lthere is no such thing as "drug X is not available in Canada." You just have to be willing to pay for it - same as in the US.
Please, learn the difference between "de facto" and "de jure". I said it was "de facto" legal in a lot of places because the police will not do anything except confiscate it if you're under age or have a significant quantity. Basically, it's often used as an "access" offence. If they want to search someone or their car, the smell of weed gives them just cause for a legal search.
But none of the machines should be open to being destroyed by a help desk jockey, which is the job this guy was doing when he was fired. He was NOT a sysadmin. Just that the people writing the headlines and stories puffed it up by assuming (wrongly) that the guy was an admin. Sort of like Tony Blair and Colin Powell with their WMD stories. Or Trump with his brain-fart of the day tweet.
He was a help desk employee. Realistically, he shouldn't have been able to create admin accounts all over the place.

But of course, both the original submission and the register claim that he was a sysadmin. Probably because a hell desk jockey shouldn't be able to create sysadmin accounts in the first place. I wonder who left their password on a post-it stuck to the bottom of their keyboard this time.
Actually, the guy wasn't an admin - he was a help desk employee. Also, he won't be sentenced until June 6th, just over 2 months from now. A href=https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdtx/pr/former-el-paso-based-company-employee-pleads-guilty-computer-intrusion>From the district attorney's office

Why a help desk monkey was able to create accounts with admin privileges is a question left unanswered. Also, it was Windows, because if it were any of the *nixes, it would be root privileges if you really wanted to do serious destruction and still be able to cover your tracks. Non-root users simply can't modify or delete everything at will, including all system logs.
No, what needs to be done is to wait until someone who's generally regarded as a dick is fired, and then trash everything that same day while leaving no traces. Extra BOfH points if you do it while you're still working there.
"A new framework" every other week, to save people from having to learn how to actually code stuff to do what they want to do. And, just like the frameworks themselves, the stuff they're coding is of little real-world consequence. Same shit, different day. But it all smells the same in the end.
You're the one who's obviously not as smart as you think. There are more people retiring than there are people being born. The people on both ends of the age spectrum need to be supported. The younger ones also need to be educated. Part of the problem is that the baby boom is over, and people like you haven't realized the full implications when the work force, which used to be many times the size of those who don't work (including the young and the old and the ill and the retired) are now being supported by a much smaller number of people - each worker is supporting more than one other person, either directly or indirectly, not 1/20th of a person, not 1/40th of a person.
Police departments are NOT "selling a service" when they are municipal employees., Same with fire departments. Same with public roads. Even people who aren't contributing to the tax base (children, visitors from other neighborhoods, etc) benefit equally even though they have no way to "buy" such a service.
Maybe in some hick towns where everything is privatized because there's not enough of a tax base to actually have a full-time professional police or fire department, in which case the city is paying another town or a private company for the service, but not in areas that cover the vast majority of the population who don't live in Bumfuck, ND.
Your definition of "transfer of wealth" is an outright falsehood - it's not "Transfer of wealth is taking money from Peter, who has a job, to pay Paul, who doesn't. " Transfer of wealth occurs all the time. It happens between businesses that buy parts and services from each other, between people who have jobs, and pretty much any other commercial transaction. When you buy something, you are transferring part of your wealth to someone else whose job is to sell you stuff, to someone who made the stuff, and to everyone else who has a job in the supply chain.
And yet you have no problems paying hundreds of millions for security for some rich entitled shitbags to live in Trump Tower, even though they have a paid home in the White House. And to have another lying entitled shitbag who appoints other shitbags to collaborate with the Russians. And more entitled shitbags to take away meals on wheels funding "because it doesn't produce any tangible results". And taking away medicaid from millions of people, because they don't want them to just go away and die - they want them to go away and die while suffering in silence. And a school lunch program isn't as important as a wall to nowhere. And women's health doesn't matter for shit, so let's stop all funding to planned parenthood - even though not a single federal dollar goes to abortions.
You already have shitbags running your country. They're doing a lot more damage than someone playing video games all day can ever do.
If the possibility upsets you, do the same thing that people who are against abortion want to do - they want to ban abortion, why aren't you calling for a ban to video games? It makes just as much sense.
And if you were collecting UBI, you would still be free to do the exact same thing - except that now your wife could be at home with your soon-to-be-born kid and have some money of her own to spend. Or YOU could take some time off to spend with your kid. Or you could say "fuck the overtime - give those hours to someone who is looking for a job."
Wasn't talking about the test program, but about the word "Universal" in "Universal Basic Income." That is obvious from the context, where I was discussing different UBI implementations. Maybe you need some more "Universal Grade School Reading Classes."

You're living in a delusion.
What are you talking about? Miners, factory workers, and truck drivers are already being automated out of jobs. Go look at the fully autonomous 416-ton Komatsu trucks in Australia's iron mines.
Good April Foo;s joke - some n00bs might even believe it :-)

On the other hand, monkeys prefer C, because the programs they generate by jumping on the keyboard have the best chance to compile.
I think you spelled perl wrong again :-) (hey - it's a feature)

There are plenty more examples - many of which involve the US destabilizing governments to advance American business interests.
And people HAVE experienced american-style health care, been bankrupted by it, something that just doesn't happen in Kanuckistan.
And of course, there are outcomes where people live a decade longer in Canada with the same disease than they do in the US.

So much for "taking ownership of a problem." Success is everyone's happy child, failure is a miserable orphan.
Like it's not possible to clone a card?
How about teaching your users: under no circumstances does anybody else ever need to know your password.
And the higher-ups who insist that they don't need passwords? Because it's "their" computer. even though it's not? And "passwords are hard".
