Normal? No. Not really anything to raise a fuss about.
Actually yes, it is worth raising a fuss about. Unless they have specific evidence against you they should not interrogate you. They have nothing to gain from doing so and your business is your own.
What was that saying people believed in a few year years ago? Oh yes, Innocent unless proven guilty.
Just to be clear I was never 'detained' for 45 minutes. I was in a queue with other passengers waiting to get to the counter. Now that's annoying but it's clearly caused by staff shortages and/or bad management.
Being put in a room and made to prove your innocence for an hour only justifiable if they have evidence you have or are about to commit some crime. Doing this as a matter of routine even if it's to a random sample of passengers is police state behavior.
There is something seriously wrong with these two killers and by extension something seriously wrong with the environment that created them.
These people strangled a 19 year old girl to death in her sleep. The victim thought these people were her friends.
Give these killers a fair trial and assuming they are found guilty lock them up for the rest of their lives. And spend some money researching just how people turn into these kind of monsters.
If you accept that as normal there is something wrong with either you or your country. This wasn't bureaucracy, it was police state tactics.
I travel from country to country all the time and have never been detained for longer than about 45 minutes, and that was just queuing. I stopped going to the US when they started treating travelers like convicts some years back. As far as I can tell instead of getting better the situation just keeps getting worse. It's a shame really as I would love to go shopping and eating in the US but I guess I just take my holiday money elsewhere.
What a stupid idea it was to go down that path. Now that the idiots in the us gov't have opened pandora's box, I'm sure we'll all soon have the opportunity to see the code up close and personal.
The decompiled version appears to already be on the net, if you want it you can find it and so can everyone else.
Hopefully this will teach people not to control important things with windows machines but somehow I doubt that will happen.
By 'rapist', you mean 'is accused of having consensual sex without using a condom', a minor crime in Sweden with a $750 penalty.
If it's such a minor crime why is Sweden willing to extradite him for it? Maybe because they intend to send him to a US torture camp, something the UK is unwilling to do.
Rape, having consensual sex without using a condom, or whatever every else Julian Assange is being accused of is just a ruse to get him somewhere the US can deport from.
Vi is hard to learn and ugly but it's a really good editor. Ever wanted to change a few thousand lines in some complex way that find & replace just can't handle? It's the work of seconds. Vi is low bandwidth so can change those few thousand lines over a 300 baud link or a mobile data connection from some other country where graphical tools would kill you on data charges. Vi is also available on all UNIX systems.
I want to see you run VS over SSH on your mobile phone and manage to do anything productive with it.
I've no idea what emacs has going for it, I have never used it. Some people seem to love it.
[esc]:x or [esc]ZZ:wq was obsoleted in 1978, the only time to use it is when you have not changed a file but want to save it anyway to update the time stamp. It's nuts that most vi howtos still teach people to use:wq.
I seem to recall the US (and everyone else) walking away from Saddam when he started lobbing gas shells at the Kurds, or at least when the bloated bodies turned up on the BBC..
Is that right? Or did they walk away from Saddam for some other reason then start reporting his previously ignored crimes?
I'm still waiting for anyone to find these stockpiles of WMDs that Saddam had. They all seem to have disappeared just like they were never there at all.
Iran appears to have brought down one of these drones by faking GPS signals. It seems possible the same trick could be used to get these things to land or crash anywhere. Assuming we are talking about unarmed drones they still look like big heavy things that would do some damage to a solid building.
I assume the GPS faking equipment would also mess up satellite navigation for a few thousand cars, that could well do more economic damage than putting a dent in one government office.
So you're okay with torturing something as long as your end goal is to kill it? Because all those things are closer to torture than what they did in this experiment.
No. I'm not OK with torturing anything for any reason. I don't consider swatting flies torture because it's a quick death.
Just how is obesity linked to diabetes, exactly? Is it, as everyone assumes, gluttony causing obesity causing diabetes? If so, how come many fat people don't have diabetes?
I suggest you check wikipedia for better answers than you will find here.

Anything to avoid creating a good product themselves, amiright?
Not 'to avoid'. It's not something they thought about and decided it's too much like hard work, it's something they know they are unable to do.
Microsoft buys innovation and passes it off as their own invention. It's always been that way.
...face down in the mud, with a sore ass...
...And losing blood fast...
As far as I can remember it's been the same for every company that has dealt with Microsoft. Nokia really self-destructed on that one.
...and you don't even hear about when those little sites get breached, if they're even aware of the fact at all.
And I'll bet some of the big ones.
It's because they bootstrapped LinkedIn at some point and hired a bunch of subpar indian devs to design security for them on the cheap.
Most likely they hired a bunch of subpar indian developers to put the site together and they didn't even consider security.
SASL does store the password in clear text though if you use CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5 authentication.
Use strings on the SASL db to confirm this.

Markus Oberhumer, author of LZO, also offers LZO Professional, a commercial version not subject to the GPL.
Does he also offer an 'acts of war against a sovereign nation' license?
LOLOLOL

He considers the target market and decides to try and sell to people who work in places where there is a shortage of water.
What's the story again?

I never use the syntax highlighting in vim. I find it very ugly and prone to using unreadable color combinations like dark blue on black.
Maybe I'm using it wrong.

Wow. Slashdot mashed up the spacing on that comment.
The commands are:
[esc]:x

[esc]ZZ
vi makes me press [esc]:wq (2 keys for :)
[esc]:x :wq was obsoleted in 1978, the only time to use it is when you have not changed a file but want to save it anyway to update the time stamp. It's nuts that most vi howtos still teach people to use :wq.

I've never had any use for IDEs, but Light Table looks nice. Very easy access to documentation would be a massive help with just about everything.
I'm playing with ruby on rails right now. Can anyone recommend a IDE that's actually better than using vi?

Many criminals have been caught out because they could not stop themselves showing off. I think it's something to do with pride.
Maybe you should talk to someone professionally trained about this.
So you're okay with torturing something as long as your end goal is to kill it? Because all those things are closer to torture than what they did in this experiment.
