I'm not saying that the cops should hush up that there is an investigation, just that they shouldn't say what they're investigating to anyone that doesn't need to know until they plan to arrest/indict. They also shouldn't allow the DA to rant about the case in a press conference and identify anyone specific until the trial is concluded. I'm sure something like a CP investigation will leak out more than other types, but right now, they aren't even trying.
You apparently don't like your job, and it doesn't seem you are very interested in what you are studying (maybe you are, but your tone doesn't sound like it), and yet you are not willing to even look at a single movie to change things.
I don't like my job, and the class I'm in is demanding. It's not that I don't like it, it's more that I have a fair amount of time pressure, so things like watching a movie that promises to change things isn't high on my list.
I already have my plan for improving my situation, and I'm executing it: if I stopped to consider every variation on that plan, I'd never get anywhere.
yeah, that's why I am doing a MS degree while working full time. I want comfort, so I cram stuff about max network flow and dynamic programming while warding off the insanity of broken stuff at my day job I'm not allowed to fix. Never mind that I'm just giving you advice on making your site accessible, but I guess you want people to feel invested in the site so they take you more seriously - If I was selling the same old shit, I'd pull tricks like that too.
None, so far as I can tell. Get accused and nobody knows you any more; I'd say that the investigations should be confidential, but I sort of expect the word to get out anyway.
People who are powerful have worked hard to improve their skill. Take Warren Buffet, who is at times the richest man in the world. He worked hard, looked for knowledge everywhere he could, learned some hard lessons and kept going. You could do that too.....practically anyone could, maybe you won't make billions like he did but you could easily make millions. But you won't. Why not?
Warren Buffet got where he is by getting lucky, then compounding that luck with many years of smart governance and investment. Not to say that he doesn't deserve his success, but luck is why he's a billionaire and not an unknown millionaire.
the link has a bunch of video - I'm short on time, so I'd much rather scan a few pages of text to see if it's something novel or the same 'steps to success' i've seen before.
No, there are two distinct groups, the ones who do it because that's what they like (and they think the kids are okay with it) and the ones who do it because there's money to be made. The original CP laws were all about removing group 2.
So you think child rapists will stop molesting children if they're not getting paid?
There is no business model here. These people rape children because they're sick fucks. Not being able to sell a picture isn't going to change them. Thus taking away "demand" isn't going to do to anything. Nothing at all.
No, they rape children because there's money in it and they are amoral. Remove the money and they stop. The child rapists will rape kids, money or no.
Why don't you try thinking through this instead of kneejerking about sick fucks?
It is not resources. It is a matter of will. If a US government agency can kidnap a person off an Italian street and ship them off to another country to be tortured, then the US government can shut down child porn site _no matter where_ it is located.
Sure, if it's one CP site. What if there are hundreds? All you really need is some hosting and some desperate parents and you can set up your own illegal picture site.
Personally I think trojans like this are a good idea precisely because they make it difficult to prosecute someone for having a copy of the stuff
Sure, so long as you're not the poor bastard who has to come up with $250k to stay out of jail (and probably still loses all his neighbor friends). I know I couldn't pull that kind of cash out of my ass - can you?
Cracking down on child porn means cracking down on possession. Generally speaking there is no practical way to find the initial distributor or the victim. Sometimes you might get lucky and catch the perp, but that's only sometimes.
From a practicality standpoint (and harm reduction), I don't care too much about possession - simply making CP production a nonviable business would be enough for me. Sure, you can't go after some guy in russia directly, but making it hard/impossible for him to get paid will tilt the risk/reward ratio against him. Of course, you have the option of going after him if you can locate him, but that's probably harder than cutting off his air supply.
Specifically, the top half of the MAC is issued to a chipmaker, who then issues unique serial numbers. If Apple switched brands partway through a run, that top half would change.
I've seen some places in the US, where the green light is blue. I still haven't figured that one out, but I tend to go for the blue light, and stop for the pink one.
Japanese traffic engineer? Ao == green or blue, according to your pref.
Everybody knows x86 is poor foundation for high speed computing
Not really - it's got massive economy of scale and currently dominates the top100. Sure, the ISA is ugle, but the architecture is fine.
Specialty processors can offer temporary advantages, but within a few years Intel engineers will do their best to integrate any new ideas into their latest designs.
This may be going away soon - linear performance scaling hasn't been going up all that fast, so x86 is going multicore. You can build a specialty chip and not worry about it being overshot by a $5 chip in 5 years.
Actually, I'm ok with $10 gas, and I like going to the racetrack. With a 50mpg bike, I can commute for $40/wk. A bit more than I'd like, but then I don't want to have a 20 mile commute for too much longer.
do you even know what that means? Privilege is something extra that the state doesn't have to grant you - do you really want to lose your license because the DMV lady thinks you look like their daughter's boyfriend?
Driving is a privilege? If that were true, the state could take your license on a whim. It's closer to a right - anyone who demonstrates the ability to drive safely is allowed to do so.
And it's the same here. IQ simply measures one thing, both here and elsewhere. Your good hunter isn't smart, they're a good hunter. You're trying to redefine IQ and expecting us to go along with it.
Um, how is dexterity a measure of intelligence? Nobody claims that IQ relates to your ability to relate to people emotionally or juggle, so I don't see what your post has to do with anything.

You expect people to sit through a video when they've got a pile of things to do? Seems a bit presumptuous.

I count 3 in the top 20, at position 5, 7, and 14. There are a smattering of Blue Gene and PPC boxes in the top 100, but yeah, x86 dominates.

No, they have a broad idea of IQ, while we use different words for those things.
do you even know what that means? Privilege is something extra that the state doesn't have to grant you - do you really want to lose your license because the DMV lady thinks you look like their daughter's boyfriend?
well honestly, it doesn't cost too much to get a license. Way cheaper than almost any car you could find.
There's only the one form of intelligence. Those other things have different names.

I read the list - almost everything in the top 100 and it's all xeon and opteron with one IBM machine.
