Shockingly, not everyone uses git (even if they should).
Even more shocking, a fair number of small code shops don't use any kind of real version control software (even if they should).
I don't think this was meant to be a tool to subvert code, just a sneaky way to piss off coworkers. That said, I'd never mess with this thing in any kind of actual work environment.
Really? Fuck that. I like having police officers on foot, amongst the community they're part of.
Yeah, and I'd be fine with that if the cops didn't take every interaction as an opportunity to whip out their balls to show you who's boss or as an opportunity to go on a fishing expedition hoping to find something to bust people for.
No, fuck that. Stay in your fucking cars and respond to calls for assistance or crimes in progress, don't swagger around my neighborhood acting like Mussolini on parade hoping to plump up your arrest metrics.
To be fair, the bigger problem is that many things that were 'just fucking around' when we were kids are now felonies.
I disagree. I don't think there have been very many civil offenses or misdemeanors that have been upgraded to felonies. Some, I'm sure, but not many.
Drinking beer in a park, hanging out after dark ("loitering"), getting caught with a joint, graffiti, minor vandalism, etc etc have never been felonies. It's just that with the advent of "proactive policing" (also called the Broken Windows theory of enforcement) every tiny little thing is now taken to the extreme and prosecuted.
When my friends and were caught with a 6-pack in a local park at night the cops would pour the beer out, yell at us, and tell us to get out of the park. That's it.
These days it's "loitering", "minor in possession of alcohol", "trespassing", and whatever else they can think up. You're arrested (!!), possibly jailed for the night, taken to court, prosecuted, and then you're made to go to Drug & Alcohol Intervention, etc etc etc.
*Boom*, suddenly now you have 4 or 5 new "criminals" in the system, and what once was no big deal is now a $3000 to $5000 bill for each set of parents (court costs, fines, Intervention classes, etc).
It's just that now everything is looked upon as a prosecutable offense (smell the money $$$$) in need of a major response and serious treatment.
He says he's been told by many police leaders that officers who normally would stop to question suspicious people are opting to stay in their patrol cars for fear of having their encounters recorded and become video sensations
Good...maybe they'll learn a little fucking restraint instead of popping out of their cars and shooting 12-year old kids for holding a toy gun.
A neighboring town had a pumpkin festival last year, and the police had snipers out during the event.
Yup. Most police today look and act like extras straight out of RoboCop, and many of them behave as if they're about to be killed at any moment. They overreact at the slightest thing and rarely use their discretion any more. It's just gone fucking nuts.
Most cops carry 2 guns, a knife, a baton, a Taser, and pepper spray. They wear a bullet-resistant vest, steel-toed boots, and have a radio to call for backup with...and yet they're terrified of a guy in shorts and a t-shirt. WTF?
When I was young the police (most police) were actually friendly and you could count on them for help. Most people liked and respected police officers. Now they mostly seem to be dicks itching for any excuse to make an arrest over the smallest thing. I avoid them at all costs.
The problem is that most cops these days can't tell the difference between a felony and just fucking around.
Ah, I see. You referred to Intel acquiring McAfee-the-company. I thought you were referring to end customers buying McAfee.
Correct, I hold the end users pretty much blameless. They had no idea what was going to happen and probably relied on Intel making sure that they were protected.
Intel is a billion-dollar company and a) should have known better, and b) should have taken care of their customers instead of their shareholders (while in the end they both got reamed).
So does a security breach that tanks your stock or allows money to be siphoned out of the company.
And in fact, security doesn't really cost squat when it's done right and baked in at the code level. I have some fairly robust sanitization libraries that I use over and over and over, and it's not costly nor is it a big deal to simply use them when I build an app or a site. We're talking a few extra seconds of typing to add a call to sanitize(type, size, method) to clean the incoming data.
FFS, if I can do it so can Sony or Nokia or Patreon or TalkTalk or NASA or Facebook or LinkedIn.
Yep. parameterized queries are good practice and should be mandatory, but even they can be dispensed with if the incoming data is properly sanitized and validated. They're highly, highly recommended and should really always be used, but half of the problems they solve are related to bad or malicious data getting placed into the query.
But people never learn, do they?
It astounds me that I, a lone guy coding in a home office can apparently write safer, more secure code than Sony, Twitter, Samsung, Facebook, IBM, YikYak, Patreon, SAP, Drupal, NASA, Adobe, LinkedIn, Nokia, etc etc etc.
Granted, I don't write nearly as much code, but then I don't have multiple office buildings filled with teams of highly-paid professional coders, either. These are billion dollar companies who don't seem to know the first fucking thing about basic security practices. Incredible.
I never found Andy Kaufman to be very funny. I watched a fair bit of his stuff, I kept waiting for the funny part....I'm still waiting. Meh. Plus he seemed to be a genuine asshole in real life, not a big turn on for me.
Red Foxx, also eh. He definitely had a few funny moments but overall I was never all that impressed by him.
Weight and grip size. Weight is a real consideration,
A Glock 19 is ~30 ounces fully loaded versus ~44 ounces for a full size 1911, so in this case weight isn't really a factor. And even if it was, I'd still probably trade a higher capacity for the weight.
As for grip size, my Glock and my 1911 Combat Commander seem pretty similar in my hand. I haven't measured the grip size but the Glock feels slimmer). Numbers off the web say the Glock is 22.9 mm wide, the 1911 is apparently 32.2 mm (with grips). They both seem to fit my hand pretty well, although I do prefer the Glock's grip. It just feels right to me.
as most cops never shoot their gun in the line of duty, so the primary use of a firearm is the implied threat, not shooting it.
I'm not a cop so I can't speak to that. But if I have to pull my sidearm and the implied threat of doing so isn't enough, I'd just as soon have more rounds than fewer, all things being equal.
And weight for a long career will impact the person much more than having 10 instead of 7 shots.
I've carried every day for 35+ years and I'm more than happy to carry the Glock. Its light weight (especially compared to most.45s) is a big plus for me.
Less weight and higher capacity work for me.Like I said, I've carried a Glock for a loooooooooong time and I could have picked any firearm on the market. The Glock was it for me, but if other people prefer something else that's their choice and I'm fine with it. I won't try and convince them to switch.
Also, you are mocking God and intelligent design but perhaps you really only meant to mock God.
Wow, gotta get up pretty early in the afternoon to put one over on you, huh?:)
But seriously, it's kinda hard to mock something that doesn't exist. On the other hand, with all the fabulous bullshit that "god" supposedly entails, it's a target-rich environment for mocking. I mean, here's this "all powerful" super-being who can't even do some of the everyday things I can do...kinda hard to buy into the "all powerful" claim when that's the case. (And yes, there are all sorts of things I can do that an "all powerful" god can't do.)

Personally, I believe God setup teeth for us to learn from.
Your fruitcake-like beliefs are of no real interest to me.

Lol, I just love sweeping statements like this, made under "Anonymous Coward", of course.
Yours had a heart? Show off.
Well, that's what I was led to believe, but I never really saw any evidence of it.
Still not as black as my ex-wife's heart.
If you need to sanitise data you are doing it wrong.
This is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

Yep, I remember all the hype about this in the mid 1970's....and it was "just around the corner" and "almost ready to happen" then too.

Fucking aye, have these people never heard of sanitizing data, or is that some new-fangled thing?
I rigorously sanitize ALL data coming into my sites (every single input) and I'd be genuinely surprised if a SQL injection would work on any of them.
I mean, it's just not that fucking hard to guard against, why can't these companies full of hot-dog programmers seem to get it right??

I can't imagine having http://www.e-sarcoinc.com/50ro... that as the backup piece strapped to my ankle.
It seems a bit much for use around the house, but for a Sunday-go-to-meeting gun that looks like a fine choice to me. ;)
It would be strange for there to be a software limit on the operation of the motors.
Thank goodness a software exploit couldn't interfere with a software limit! Oh, wait....

Erm, MXLogic existed long before McAfee bought them. A large part of the customer base is pre-acquisition.

Anyone who would buy anything from McAfee given his incredibly dubious track record gets exactly what they deserve.
Apparently Intel never heard of the phrase "due diligence", or else they just figured, "Nah, John McAfee would never screw us over..."
