Doing such things would be almost as awful as... putting a caterpiller on someone. How could anyone respect a country that uses such things as caterpillers and worms?
Obama should ban such devices of torture as worms, just like he banned caterpillers.
Quantum mechanics has something to do with nuclear bombs, don't it? Shouldn't we be screaming in panic, that our plants might explode like a nuclear bomb at any second? You can't trust those plants, sitting creepy still all the time, plotting our nuclear destruction all the time. We should destroy them all, before they get us!
Oops, forgot to take the blue pill. Take the blue pill now, not the red one.
Ok, someone out there needs to write a program that will randomally access web sites. It should contain a list of reprehensable sites, as well as use randomally generating site names. It should do accesses on some randomzed time schedule, not continuously. You don't want it to run often enough to significantly slow down your own browsing.
This is how you poison their database, fill it full of useless data. Go ahead, and track this!
Cause political chaos by throwing sudden, and massive support behind a new political party. Wish Americans were capable of picking some other party aside from Republicans or Democrats.
Both the Republican and the Democrat parties are Pirates. They both want all my money, and go to extreme measures to get it.
It's obvious that they never did any "kid testing" on their toy. If you give a kid a dinosour toy, he will do the obvious kid thing: Pick it up by the tail and repeatably bash it against his toy truck.
$275 is too much to spend on a hammer, unless it's for government use.
Converting food into building material? Is this really a good idea?
Right now, corn is being converted into fuel, in a very inefficient manner, only affordable because of massive government subsidies (the pump prices held down by pulling money out of your wallet through taxes). Corn once was a cheap staple for poor people worldwide. Corn prices have gone up because of this ethanol, which means more starvation worldwide.
What will happen to other food prices if this keeps going on. How much will they subsidise the increased food prices, or are we going to have to start eating oil?
Now, you could just pop open the hood to steal the battery, or like this exploit, you could get to the battery by disassembling the engine from underneath until you reach the battery.
So, after getting the root access on Linux, you use this goofy script to install some software.
Why bother with this crap, when having root access allows you to install the same software without needing the goofy scripts? What additional access does this give you that you don't have by being root?
Why are kits like this that require root access considered as deadly as Windows viruses that can be easily installed on any Windows system without any user action or password needed?
The network cable faults I've seen have rarely had anything to do with the age of the cables.
The most common bad cable problems I've seen include: mice eating the cable, cable getting cut by moving furniture, bad solder connections (not a problem with most network cables), and the ends getting pulled loose.
Much more common is someone unplugging the cables, or the power to a hub, or plugging both ends of the cable into the same hub.
Coopper can oxidize (turn green) if it isn't protected well. Some cheap old cables may have oxidated to the point that they no longer preform their designed duties, but that would be indicated by the fact that traffic wasn't flowing.
To check the cables for this problem, simply remove the insulation from the cable and check for oxidation. Replacing the insulation after checking is a somewhat harder problem.
If the cables still work, aren't disintigrating, and aren't causing problems; then I wouldn't waste the time, effort, and money replacing them.
When it was installed, your old cable had to run signals uphill through the snow, both directions. They didn't have electrons back then, they had to nake do with quarks. Time hadn't been invented yet, so the direction and speed of network traffic was hard to estimate.
Just attach a blog, like SlashDot, to the textbook chapters. That gives you a platform for discussion with others having the same questions.
If you need accurate information, you can always be sure to get it from SlashDot posts.
We definately need some WikiBooks created, like "The Worlds History According to Slashdot", "Slashdots Scientific Encyclopedia", and "The Slashdot Legal Advisor".
Too bad your WinModem driver thinks it is an app. And the software that runs your scanner. Oh, and your printer driver. Is that Norton anti-virus you're running? Good luck freeing that one up when you need another app slot. And MicroSoft Update wants a couple of app slots too. You really didn't need one for yourself did you?
People hear "climate change" and "global warming" and think all the ice is going away.
Didn't you hear. The north pole completely melted away last year. You did get the memo from the "climate change" scientists last year. It proved that global warming existed. They proclaimed it in all the papers and everything.
Or, are all the "climate change" scientists proclamations just like the predictions in the National Enquirer? When they don't come true, you just ignore them and make some more.

What happens if your line of code is the cause of a major bug? Do you have to hide your head in shame?

Imagine a beowulf cluster of these...
Maybe it would be just like one of the critters in the saga...
That is, he says 200k registered republicans switched parties in the last election in pennsylvania.
If all you're offered is a rhino like Specter, wouldn't you want to switch too?
If it's based on slashdot users, it includes:
Anything that disproves global warming.
Anything critical against Barok Obama.
Anything about programming perl.
Put in on a laptop with one of those flaky batterries in them.

Well, as an engineer, I'll admit that I'm quite evil.
YES! We want CAT GIRLS!!!

It was supposed to be implemented February of 20088.
Well, that only gives them about 18,000 years to get it implemented. With the government involvement, I don't think they left enough time.

That's an easy fix. Just kill it. That frees up all that CPU time for your use.
