That is so false. If you equate the video game industry to the film or music industry, you can see the possibility of success with little knowledge of the art. Think of all the producers that can't act, can't write, can't play an instrument or can't sing that make millions of dollars being an "idea man". I mean, bands like N'sync and movies like "Mr. Mom" come from a guy in an office saying..."We should produce a band with 5 teenie-boppers and one should be the tough guy, one should be the sensitive guy..." This is america and the guy who can spin the Bullshit gets the dollar bills. The people who actually do the art are the suckers who come a dime a dozen. (You can find em anywhere)
I'm sorry, I just don't buy the following logic:
a. An actor must look good
b. A female actor does not look good if she doesn't have "appealing size for Tuxinatorium" breasts.
Then you, my friend, have not been paying attention.
What's wrong with telnet?
Ok, rephrase, other than the plain text transmission, what's wrong with telnet?
Seriously?
Along the same line of thinking, if you want to get rid of telnet, do you want to get rid of FTP? That's essentially what FTP is - unencrypted uname/pass auth. So, what's the difference?
Exactly. Get rid of both and use a more secure option.
I say, I don't want to give up 30 years of tradition every time something new comes out. Just go with the flow. Let it happen in it's own time.
Yeah...me too usually. But encryption is a different story.
Plus, what difference does it make? If you plan on letting them get abused...hit up pricewatch and get a case of the cheapest ones you can find that can produce your desired resolution. I mean, if they're using throw-aways now, just get a bunch of cheap "throw-away" digital cheapies. You said it yourself, "I can't buy $1000 digital cameras..." so like...don't.
Sometimes the effect of punishment goes beyond deterrence and beyond rehabilitation. Sometimes, it's important to punish people just in order to give society a sense of justice being served.
"America has 25% of the world's prison population." "America imprisons a higher percentage of its population than China, Saudi Arabia or Syria." "One in four young black males in America has served time in prison."
Maybe that's because we live in a society that doesn't take the proper steps to deter crime or assign responsibility. (you mention Syria, we KNOW what they do with their criminals). Or maybe since we don't (usually) give people the death penalty, desperate people will take desperate measures. Or maybe one in four young black males get raised in an environment that condones committing crimes or even thinks lightly of committing crimes.
Or MAYBE...it's just tha_man trying to hold us all down!
Does anyone besides Microsoft actually make money strictly selling software? The way I see it, there are only a few ways to make money in the biz:
That's pretty ignorant so I assume you've got to be kidding. This is so much more software getting sold "out there" than you know about. Just becasue it doesn't come in a box at "best buy" doesn't mean that there isn't someone making copious amounts of money off of it. Plus a "potentially marketable" product could be anything. Maybe this dude wrote some software for a miniture assembly line and it could be sold to assembly line vendors, you have no idea.
No software will be perfect, therefore, no software will sell itself. Unless your university plans on making the financial risk of targeted advertising, the money just won't come.
WTF? Lots of software sells itself simply by filling a void.
Or learn perl or c or java so you can join the ranks of people that answer a question like "I was wondering just how common place Slashdot readers have found errata in the code examples of programming books they have purchased?" with "Don't learn php".
Well, considering they presently have about 10,870,470 current auctions, I would say "Yes", some folks still use ebay.
The better question is "Does anyone care about ebay's privacy policy".
(probably not)
War Criminal? Really?... Exactly how? Simply waging war doesn't make someone a war criminal. Maybe attacking your own civilians could qualify someone, but...who in the world would do that?
1). Colin Powell -- Secretary of State, ex-chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, of Jamaican origin, he has one Jewish ancestor on his father's side. He grew up in a heavily Jewish-populated neighborhood in New York, and speaks Yiddish...."
A heavily Jewish-populated neighborhood of New YorK???? Have you ever BEEN to New York. That's like saying a heavily cornfed-populated neighborhood of Iowa.
Dumbfucker...

"neat"
If you watch the videos with the sound on you can hear "This isn't the most practical thing but..."
PS. "Hey! It's Enrico Pulatzo!"

OR...someone could just make a firmware crack.
Done and done.
"box-blind"
Nobody ever looks at billboard ads anymore either.
Not to mention bandwidth is not water. (or at least it certainly doesn't flow the same...)
The fact that it's only 5 lines of code certainly does not mean it's not insanely complicated.
No, the fact that it's *perl* means it's overly complicated. (as in explosion in the punctuation factory)
Sure...but if you as the parent have lead paint lying around for the eating...then maybe it *is* genetic.
So if you invest in gun manufacturers you can get sued for shootings? Invester cannot get held liable, that would be a disaster.
Good Point. But it *is* Texas and you know how much they hate it when you "mess" with them.

yeah...learn perl so when there is a REAL explosion at the punctuation factory, you'll know what to do.

Ah...fuck it.
Holy Crap!!! There's "reliable, disinterested reports" about the war out there? No kidding? I didn't know such a thing existed.
