How does a county judge in nowhere New Jersey have any jurisdiction over multiple companies that are not in his county?
Simple: All the rules that you think exist, are actually only as meaningful, as they are supported by the ones in power. We still live in a society ruled by the law of the jungle. We just don’t know it, because the power is so remote and invisible. But in the end, if you make up your own rules, and are the one in power, of it’s something the ones in power like, they sill are the law of the land.
That’s why Cheney can shoot a man in the face, and get away with it. Simple as that.
Now all you have to do, is find the ones in power, and gain power over them. E.g. by doing something that makes them buy into your reality. That’s why your biggest enemy should be treated like your closest friend. He has to blindly trust and believe you. Why do you think I got so interested in psychology and social engineering. It’s the hacking of the 21st century. ^^
“...by a load of Apple fanboys in a flash-mob-like stunt”. ^^
But on a more serious note: Would you want to get called “person of the decade” by a bunch of crooks that have no other purpose in life than the pointless pursuit of “moar moneyz”? Just so you know, that’s the typical user of that site: http://lolfatcats.com/page/3
Go tell that to yourself, when you ever have a total retard hold a gun at your head and threaten to kill you if you don’t do some very intelligent stuff.
Don’t EVER dare to judge anyone that you don’t understand. Even if it’s Hitler and the devil’s lovechild of doom!
If the botnet client runs on your own computer... then by definition, your own CPU interprets the list of commands that it resembles.
So nothing can stop you from modifying that program in-place, so it infects all other clients too, until the whole botnet in yours. At least if the clients have some update mechanism.
With a bit of luck, you could even trick the original “owner” into getting infected by your own trojan horse, find out all contact / address data on his system, where he lives, and either send him the cops, or beat him up. I’d choose: Gay child porn with dead animals on his computer, and then the cops beating him up. ^^
...to pull yet another Apple article out of your asses, even when there is absolutely nothing to report anymore and we’re all already stuffed to the top with it.
I wonder what Apple pays for this...
Just remember: Every new story about it, makes me want it less and block it more.
It’s funny how people with impressively limited minds always state “the most $x imaginable”. Really? He can’t ever imagine anything more advanced? Ever? That must be a life, so boring, that I could not survive it. Pretty much every second dream I have, is way more imaginative than that.
But to your comment: If only it were Smurfs. They were cool. But it’s extremely gay, tree-hugging kumbaya “Smurfs”. On the other hand, to give you a hint on how good the FX are (if yo watch it in 3D with THX, and even better with IMAX too): They are so impressive, that the outweigh the gayness and kumbaya effect! Now that’s something...! ^^
Well, maybe he just hates himself... maybe for what he did... maybe for what we did. Don’t see anything weird here. After all, most people here hate themselves for not going out of their basement and picking up some girls.;)
Yes. Absolutely. That was kinda the point I tried to make: The interface has to adapt. Even git does not do that. In fact, command line interfaces are very unfriendly in that aspect. Because you don’t know what you want to do, until you know what you can do. Which in this case is hidden in directories with a thousand executables, and man pages that you can only read when you already know the name of the command.
A good shell would be like a really good RAD programming IDE.
And a good editor would be both Notepad with Clippy AND Emacs/VI. With a stepless gradient in between them. So everything you wouldn’t use for a while, would automatically go back to beginner’s level, show you what you can do, guide you, etc. But if you’d use it more often, and that behavior would start to annoy you, it would automatically go away, and let you work most efficiently.
The trouble is that most people don't do this, it looks different so they panic and can't use the machine. I have seen people unable to use their machine because the icons have moved around -- I kid you not!
Well, tough shit. Cry me a river.
Either you learn how to use it, or you don’t use it. Simple as that. Same thing with the car example.
In life, you don’t get spoon-fed. The things that are worth it, are worth learning. The problem is, that by just imitating Windows, there is no reason to ever move to Linux. (No, the cost argument is false too, since everyone already downloads Windows for free, or gets it with his computer.) And as long as we’re always just catching up... on the Windows way... instead of going our (not parallel) way and letting Microsoft catch up... we won’t become worth it, or attractive enough, to give people a reason.
You know the main reason, it’s not the “Year of Linux on the Desktop”? Because instead of leading, by... leading the way... we run behind even the most small-minded change-fearing Windows user, with a giant sign saying “Please, just love us! We will literally do everything, but please love us!”
As you might know, when you ever tried this with a woman (or man, if that’s your thing), all that’s going to get you, is someone running away from you as fast as she/he can... or someone abusing you.
The “Year of Linux on the Desktop” will come, when we stop caring if it’s the “Year of Linux on the Desktop”. If we stop trying to catch up, but stop and go our own way. Like a beacon of light that drags others in. With innovation that makes it a “killer app”. (Which can never come from imitation.) (Btw: Try that (leading, not being dependent) with other people, and you will get a massive attraction boost.)
I, for one, say: Let’s make Linux the OS of our dreams. Because we know that we know better. (After all we’re the experts!:) Let’s make it something that Joe Sixpack wishes so much he could use, because it’s so cool... that he will come to us, by trying to learn and live up to our level!
I wanna see Microsoft and Apple running behind us!!:) (Yes, I already work hard to reach this goal myself. And I support everyone who does too.)
I mean, it’s got: - A task bar, exactly like Windows - A start menu, exactly like Windows - A area with icons, right next to the clock, exactly like Windows - Windows with a icon, a title, a minimize, a maximize and close button, exactly like Windows - A trash can and a “my computer icon, exactly like Windows - The same shortcuts as Windows - The same hardware-detection mechanisms (e.g. a stupid windows popping up when you insert a CD) - All Windows window manager mechanisms (drag, resize,...) - File open and save dialogs with the same functionality - A file manager that tries to imitate Windows Explorer, even with the giant icons and new windows opening when you click on one, and the fake structure with “my computer” on top, instead of “/” or $HOME. - Desktop search. - Etc, etc, etc.
Add a theme, and it’s Windows.
P.S.: Hey fanboys: I love Linux. But I hate how the desktop environments threw all its philosophies out of the window, in favor of the crappy Windows concepts. Just to get the pat on the back from some stupid Windows retards who can’t even grasp something new and innovative, when it hits them right in the head. Stop running behind the acceptance of others! Because that won’t ever get you accepted. Do your own thing! Then you get what you want. Because that’s what it means to lead: To lead the way! This is serious critique. On all Linux desktop environments, and most window managers. For imitating instead of innovating.
When I read “cloud”, I always have to think of that old Luniz video, where they were in the car full of smoke and had to stop because they couldn’t drive anymore.
And then the comment suddenly makes sense again. ^^
I should try acting all “experty” and come up with numbers that support the views of my bosses or myself too. According to experts, there’s good money in this...;)
I’d bet money, that the moderator of my comment was some Wikipedia admin, hating the fact that he can’t delete-rage me here, and therefore trying to censor me here.
My friend, it’s a straight out fact anyway. You can deny it. You can hide in your reality distortion bubble. But in the end, you still know that it’s true: A citation does not mean anything. Only a chain of trust, from the physical fact, over the senses of the person, over all other people and machines in-between, can give you anything close to a warm feeling of reliability. And even that is only as good, as the equality of trust in and reality of the links in that chain.
Wikipedia ignores basic human mechanics and physics, in favor of a fantasy. A dream of absolute truth, freedom from bias, and global facts. Things that in reality by physical definition can not exist. Even less so, in the mechanics of human society.
Which then creates two kinds of people: 1. Those who have the power to enforce their views (Admins, server owners, etc.) 2. Those who don’t, and will be oppressed. (Everybody who does not agree, even if he can prove it in scientifically proper and peer-reviewed experiments.)
The only solution is a kind of “P2Pedia”. Where everybody has full control over his own content, his choice of indexing server, caching server, and trust cascade. Of course, this is the biggest enemy of group 1. So they will silence it and fight it tooth and nail.
As Linus explained, the “easier” argument is gone, since they did put really hard work into git’s user interface. They knew that it was bad. And what was the normal interface back then, is now the low-level interface, with a whole new, nice interface on top. (But you can still use the low-level one, when you need it.)
Anyway, maybe it’s me, but I don’t see “easy” per se as a advantage. I prefer efficiency. And more often than I like it, easiness seems to mean less efficiency. It’s like “Those who give up some efficiency for a little easiness, deserve neither”. ^^ Of course the same is true for too (pointlessly) complicated interfaces too. (Main examples: Emacs and VI.)
The problem is, that most programmers seem to see that level of complexity as static. But it has to adapt to the user, over time. Rise when in need, fall when not. Stepless, if possible. Instead they think in absolute, black and white, one-dimensional spaces: Either Notepad with Clippy, or Emacs/VM. It’s so stupid.
To me, git is a tool that is pretty nice in that aspect. Simple committing and version management for yourself is very easy. But if you want to do crazy stuff, like go back 10 versions, patch that one with eight other forks, wrap it, and the next five versions, into one version, and put that thing not only back into your repository, but into that of others too... then it doesn’t leave you in the rain, but gives you the tools to do it.

Girl(intraining), there’s no need to hide it. We know it’s you. ^^
What gave it away? The “s/he’. :)
Nah. The US government would prevent everyone from finding their most precious agent.
Everyone knows where he lives anyway. And nobody does anything for that very reason.

Nah, we had our Apple “article” for today. You can expect the next one tomorrow. Regular like clockwork.
You only say that because you haven’t got any non-winter months in the first place! ^^
It is, but I think the point here was to show how big the gradient is.
In the mountain areas of China it’s still pretty close to caveman land. ;))
Just as in the US.
Well, the Chinese number is the maximum speed too. So your point is invalid.
