I know I can rest confident of being right. For what any reason you would troll me anonymously with an so blatant ad hominem attack?;-)
But, just for the records, we're living in what may be the ending of a Interglacial Era. These Warming Eras is believed to last about 10 to 100K years, while the Ice Eras are of variable time frame - at least, is what Discovery tells me.:-)
The South Pole (Antarctic may be too much for you) was, once, a Temperate Forest.
Anyway, and for your information:
There have been at least five major ice ages in the Earth's past (the Huronian, Cryogenian, Andean-Saharan, Karoo Ice Age and the Quaternary glaciation). Outside these ages, the Earth seems to have been ice-free even in high latitudes.[30][31]

While the phrase "Get used to that" can be used in the context to deliver the intended concept, it came to my attention that in US English that same phrase can be used to do it in a harsh or perhaps pejorative way.
It's not my intention.
What I mean it to deliver is a Stoic, conformist intention: as something not that good that we must endure in order to get something good.
Sorry if that intent was not fulfilled in my previous post.
The Earth has got cooler and warmer before, and that time was not out fault.
There're a lots of evidence that our presence is affecting out habitat, but there're also evidence that Earth has a recurrent cycle of Ice Eras and Warm Eras - and nobody could prove, yet, that this is not what happening now: a transition from one Era to another.
Of course we're polluting our biosphere to a level where our extinction here will be inevitable. We're facing the ending of our sources of drinkable water. We're facing the ending of raw resources. We're facing the exhaustion of our fertile lands.
But since Earth has already got warmer and cooler in the past (a past in which we weren't there!), and given our historical difficulties in facing the *right* cause for our problems, I find all this argumentation healthy.
Yes, I understand the frustration about all that arguing, but as said Carl Sagan, that famous scientist: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".
Galileo Galilei has to give it. Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis too.
It's a scientific fact that global warming is real.
As the Earth being the center of the Universe was, once, another scientific fact.
Every single scientific fact is prone to scrutiny and refutal. Every single one.
We can assume that some scientific facts are insanely unlikely to be refuted (Gravity Law, for the sake of my balls and despair of my girlfriend's boobies, are one of them). But never, ever, assume any "scientific fact" above any controversy or debate.
I got so annoyed with the ADs in Angry Birds jeopardizing my gaming experience (you just can't see what's happening whens a AD pops up! A little transparency, please?) that I stopped playing Angry Birds on my mobile.
And, so, I don'y get annoyed anymore with that ads.
And, so, I'm not anymore a potential customer of anything Angry Birds promotes. =]
If my daemons are firewalled, my MariaDB server only accepts requests from 127.0.0.1 and my authentication code lives out of the httpdocs filesystem (PHP *don't have* to run every script from the httpdocs filesystem!), I don't see how the attacker could try this on my machine without rooting it first.
In this case, the MariaBD passwords are the least of my worries.
The objective is to spread FUD, taking advantage of a mass of lost, blind followers that had given up their theological believes to embrace a new, technological religion.
Java is not bloated, neither slow or sluggish or whatever. But your applications can be bloated, slow and sluggish if you hire bloated, slow and sluggish minded programmers to do the job..NET is not better than anything, but it's not worst neither. The Object Model shines sometimes (Microsoft hired the guy behing Borlands's Object Pascal Windows Library). I would even consider a.NET career if it was not backed up by Microsoft - I'm already burned by Microsoft technologies twice, I can pass the third. =]
Ruby? Marvelous language. I loved every day I spent learning it. But I took Python to day to day business - I ended up more productive (and my services, less machine demanding) using Python. Nice API, by the way - but the lack of threading sucks.
I also made some good projects in VB6 and Perl also. I prefer not doing it again, however.
VB6 is, really, very limited on modern programming technics (but something can be done, nevertheless - I just think I can do it easier on another language).
Perl is too much different from anything else to make me fell comfortable on it.
On the long run, no matter how many languages I deal with - the unique one that is omnipresent is C. It saved my sorry ass countless times.
Of course, your clients can choose to contract services from people that gives them some extra "no charge" guarantee time - but this guys will just charge these extra months, disguised, on the bill anyway - so you can compete with price.
I sure would like it if Google would use (or hell, even "leverage") their language tools to automatically mark things in languages I don't read as spam.
Do you ever never had married and then divorced, do you?
I just talk to my son using his Facebook (as his mother finished any account I had setup for him years ago) or when I call him using the roaming number I pay for him, on the phone I brought and send to him by mail (with a letter to his mother, written by my legal adviser politely explaining what will happen if the phone is lost or keep out of service).

Hmm, what are you hiding?
My privacy.
Are you so pro-government that you approve normal citizens doing their (government) job at their (citizens) expense?
It's up to the government to be able to correctly tax their citizens.
Your approach is like "you own me heavy money, unless you take the burden of proving you don't".
Nice addendum, I didn't knew that. :-)
You are judging the scientists from the past using present knowledge.
This is BAD SCIENCE.
Every new generation of scientists build new knowledge over the last generations success and failures.
Do you judge Newton badly because of Einstein's discoveries?
Would you so judge Einstein badly because the current discoveries on Quantum Physics?
Again, what you preconizes is BAD SCIENCE.
Thank you.

No matter how hate the concept, the parent post is right.
Once the honest employee gets screwed no matter what, there's absolutely no incentive to the other employees to be honest!
You get what you promotes!

Dogmas have no place here.
As a matter of fact, Linus *is* a good reference for some of us.
I agree 100% with his rantings.
Because if Windows look and feel had appraised me, I won't be switching to Linux at first place.
QT is pretty damned nice to program. GTK+ is not that nice.
But I feel comfortable using Gnome 2 and nothing else.
Speaking frankly?

... the attacks must have access to the DB first.

Or I'm wrong?
It makes me wonder why they're allowed to exist in the first place. Trolls, not humans.
I'm pretty sure the trolls are asking themselves the same question about us... :-)
Why "-1 troll"?
Dragonfly BSD really appears to be a viable alternative to MorphOS.
Knowing nothing about both cases, I would moderate parent as "+1 Informative". Not liking the information does not justifies "trolling" it. :-(
China is in cold (economic) war with the rest of the World!
Didn't Microsoft swallow Nokia already?
As a matter of fact, it appears to me that Nokia had swallowed Microsoft, after sucking its... uh... Forget about. =P

Advertising in disguise, perhaps?
Can we settle this as a draw? :-)

Mail me.
I sure would like it if Google would use (or hell, even "leverage") their language tools to automatically mark things in languages I don't read as spam.
Google did. But it was too late.
I'm Brazilian, I saw the mess we did there.
Do you ever never had married and then divorced, do you?
I just talk to my son using his Facebook (as his mother finished any account I had setup for him years ago) or when I call him using the roaming number I pay for him, on the phone I brought and send to him by mail (with a letter to his mother, written by my legal adviser politely explaining what will happen if the phone is lost or keep out of service).
He lives 3500KM (about 2.200 miles) far from me.
As a matter of fact, I know some designers and yes, this is a concern for them - they make a living from that sketches.
A 100.000 bucks advertising campaign is not so scarce as you may think.
But granted, I never knew someone that got this for ONE sketch.
