I agree... but your marijuana analogy is depressing. The fight for pot has lotsa money and lotsa supporters, but (almost) no success. Success would require stopping the DEA, an organization supported and funded by the national gorvernment. How many supporters does it take to stop a train with the mass of 1000 suns? I think we're much more likely to get computer laws changed.
If you (or anyone else for that matter) is doing cheap labour for the school, then you're getting paid for it, albeit cheaply. Hell, I'm getting paid for it right now and it's helping put me through college. You pay for college; college pays you for work. Everyone's happy...
So as an appeal to Americans, please vote out this monkey of a president, and make sure you pressure the other guy and make sure he's more bothered about local jobs than foreign leaders.
The former part we're working on... Our only other viable choice is also equally a fscktard so I don't see jobs coming back any time soon. On the plus side we might get socialized health care! Oh well, at least we still got free speech.
I don't particularly like Top40, though I can deal with alternative top 40 which I'll admit is just as bad, but, seriously, I have to listen to something on the way to work and it beats hip hop.
broadband providers will have a new excuse for blocking VPN connections on residential circuits
Seeing as how the majority of VPN users are using their VPNs for legitimate work, I can't see ISPs getting away with this one. I would think most of the illegal stuff goes on through SOCKS proxies.
I've heard that some professors are using Sparc assembly as well -- not a good idea in my opinion, simply because of 1) the delay slot and 2) the sethi instruction, both of which are a little confusing for someone who's never coded before, let alone never coded in assembly language.
The delay is simply a clever way to get in another instruction, and often it can save you a jump in a simple if-then-else situation. If you dont want to use it you can always just put a nop there every time. How hard can sethi possibly be? Certainly having to use it is worth all the other RISC goodness.
In a word: crappy. I have Sprint PCS (not this fancy vision stuff) and I can't even receive calls in my house. Not to mention, my phone cuts out on the way to and from work no less than 3 times. Customer service? Yeah right. Voice quality? I sometimes understand people. I have to say though, at least they're better than the local telco, who told me they couldnt get a phone line to my house due to "not having enough cables."
As I recall, these hand-calculated log tables were fraught with errors anyways. At least the ones they used for shell aiming were, although that's probably not such a bad thing.
Port scan? It's easier than that. I once accidently started the re-imaging program on a Mac at work which completely locks the machine while it is imaged. Fortunately, I happen to have a CD-R that I created by accident one time (with a Mac no less) that is guaranteed to crash any iMac just by putting it in the drive. Worked like a charm, and I kept my documents from being imaged over.
You're missing the point. Cursive is faster to write in (once you get used to it) by virtue of not having to pick up the pen as often. Sometimes, this makes it messier and therefore harder to read, but it is still easier to write and therefore not useless.
Scheme? I Scheme is evil. I mean, it seems like sound theory that any program should be representable as a fuction from input to output. That doesn't mean I want to do it. I *like* algorithms thank you.
I don't think he was implying that they deserve to be raped. Maybe he was just trying to say that they deserve to go to prison, where they will likely be raped. Maybe it was even a subtle criticism of the prison system.

Try a little tact... you're not bartering - you're helping.
I woulnd't do it voluntarily but I think if they sued me I'd settle.

We'd drink good beer if we could! Its way too damn expensive, compared to 60 dolla kegs of Bud Light.
They did that already it's called C# or managed C++.

The same could be said for almost any cool thing one might post about doing on slashdot. That one was kinda weird though.

Depends on the chicks. And the truck for that matter. Still, I'd take the Bimmer.
There's an ISO standard for these MFP's now. I've seen it in action. I have no idea whether this means that non-Windows OSs support them now.
The old fashioned way: a modded X-Box.

Scarcity of music is created not by the ability or inability to copy it but by the amount of effort required to create the content in the first place.

The only thing I can think of is that an array is stored contiguously in memory whereas a list is linked by pointers (references, whatever).
Yeah, you're right. Ever since I lost my glowing box, I don't know what to believe.

Dude, thats a great deal. Slashdot is worthless, but a Pilot rolling gel pen is divine.
I can't believe you counted all those x's just so you could post on /.
