You sit in coffee shops for hours with your Apple devices wearing black turtlenecks and sipping over-priced latte's
I don't drink coffee so I don't really know what goes down in coffee shops (other than the ones in Amsterdam). I also live in the south, where turtlenecks simply don't make sense and I at least don't see any men wearing them (women occasionally). Is this character you described really a common sighting?
Microsoft is merely incompetent with their products. Apple, despite it's higher technical competence, is flat out evil incarnate.
Are you saying that Microsoft is not evil? If you're throwing around the word evil, you'll at least have to admit that Microsoft is evil (or at least that their is a large number of people who regard MS as evil). And I'll take competent and evil over incompetent and evil.
Personally, I'm just glad there is a UNIX-based desktop OS that is mainstream and has industry support as a desktop OS. And I can easily move to another UNIX / UNIX-like when I become unhappy with Apple (I switched from Linux on the desktop, and have used UNIX since before Linux existed).
Lately, I have been seeing TV commercials from Dell that say, using imagery, "stand in line to buy this and you will come out groovy and cool." Perhaps they are attempting to take a page from Apple's play-book, but the problem is that Apple's established image and Dell's established image are very different. You don't just pop up out of nowhere and say "hey! suddenly we're cool hipsters!"
What are you talking about? Dell's always been cool. Don't you remember "duuuuude, you're so high, you're getting a Dell"
To that end I have always avoided job opportunities that included a telecommuting option, and instead focused on job opportunities closer to home in the first place.
In the old days attackers would often make a machine their home as you describe, do you have any evidence that the serious criminals (the ones that the article is about) do this now? I suspect that only hobbyist criminals do such things nowadays.
If you use a CLI session then you either have a TCP connection leading back to where you are (a bad idea if you don't want to be caught) or you bounce the connection between multiple machines (giving serious problems of lag). An IRC (or similar server based) control interface is simply a better way to manage a number of remote machines when you don't want people to know that you are connected to them.
I was a hobbyist cracker back in the early 90's (I guess you could have called me a "script kiddie"). I did set up a similar "home" in the UNIX systems I cracked. I didn't really take much precaution as far as not getting traced because I was a dumb kid, but at some point I realized the risk and quit completely.
These days, I would just take advantage of open WIFI networks everywhere if I were to do any cracking.
Start hiring hookers during lunch with petty cash instead. Getting your pipes cleaned will make you a lot more productive that afternoon than getting drunk.
You'd think that. I get my girlfriend to suck me off during lunch time (my apartment is close to the area we work in), but it just makes me want to take a nap. Helps with stress, though.

Obviously you are ignoring Linux distros in the early days (1994-1998). Linux was the swiss cheese of *NIX at that time, but UNIX security in general was pretty bad (I had fun cracking SunOS boxes, they were so easy).
Uh, I'm pretty sure the smoke still causes lung cancer.
Why smoke when you can cook it (for example, in butter)? I find eating food made with marijuana butter to be a lot better than smoking it. You get more effects for the amount you use, and its much healthier.
Also, as an alternative to smoking, vaporization is also much better and only produces a fraction of the tar that smoking does (and gives more of a high for the amount of weed). If you don't have a vaporizer handy I've found that applying a flame close to the weed (but not directly on it) works well, especially if you wet the weed with water so it doesn't start burning.
Enjoying marijuana doesn't have to be harmful. I never smoke it anymore myself.
A note on cooking with butter: the trick is to simmer it for a very long time (2 - 5 hours). Add water to the mix initial to prevent the butter from burning. If done right, you can make some surprisingly potent butter.
Anything fat soluble should work. I've personally wondered how well it works with olive oil. Anyone have experiences cooking weed with olive oil?
I found a similar exploit (force people to add you) back when they were allowing Javascript in your profile. MySpace has always been really insecure, mainly because of their stupid design decision to allow users to use more than basic HTML. They allowed Javascript at first, thinking they'd be able to filter out anything malicious. They soon realized that was stupid and filtered out Javascript. Turns out there was a way to slip it in through CSS (granted only for IE). I'm not surprised.
Also, when they originally disabled Javascript, they didn't go through everyone's profile and re-filter it. So there are still people using Javascript hacks that just haven't updated their profile, so the hack remains in place. For example, there is a way to read someone's cookie and send it somewhere, thus making it possible to see who visits your profile (and maybe something more malicious).
Doesn't seem to be much point to me in arresting some guy who managed to get some income that way, when there are much more harmful people out there. I think most cops would be pretty happy with that at least they're not selling drugs or mugging people.
well then, stop arresting pot smokers! People who sell pot should also be ignored, it is about the same as selling pirating DVD's, only LESS harmful! They are not hurting anyone, they are not even hurting a business like those that belong to the MPAA.
Legalizing (or ignoring crimes related to) marijuana would only hurt the business of arresting marijuana users.
We might not lend ourselves well to sympathetic portrals in commercials and other media, but every night we can come home in a shiny expensive car, to a nice furnished apartment, and eat some pussy before going to bed.
Eat some pussy before going to bed? You sound pretty whipped to me. I either get my dick sucked by my girl or stick my dick in a pussy and blow a giant load in her mouth or pussy (and sometimes in her ass). I never ever have to eat her pussy. Eating pussy is for lesbians.
I think the idea that geeks can't get laid is a huge misconception. Eventually some woman gives us a chance, and after years of masturbating we have such good sexual control and technique that we're able to make her cum like she's never cum before. That's what happened to me anyways. Having said that, though, having someone to fuck is really not that big of a deal, I don't know why people act like it is and put down people who can't get laid. Yes, sex can be really fucking good, but it doesn't improve you as a person to be getting it. If you were a stupid fuck before getting laid, you're a stupid fuck after getting laid.
And yes, I am one of those open source hippies. But I get paid for leveraging open source technologies. And I get laid. Boo-yah!
" Most important though, is that I can't do ANYTHING that requires significant thought after dinner (or at least 2 hours before sleeping)."
What do you find to do for two hours a day which doesn't involve significant thought?
Masturbating. Seriously. Spend 1 to 2 solid hours masturbating before bed (go slow, put on a porno or something). Make sure you have nothing to do after you orgasm, brush your teeth beforehand or whatever you need to do. After you have a good orgasm, go straight to sleep. Quickies won't work as well, and also if you stay awake enough after the orgasm, you might not be able to fall asleep.
Of course, you can replace "masturbating" with actual sex with another person, but hey, this is Slashdot...
Now if I can only convince my boss to get a set of these for pair programming. That would rock. I can imagine myself now Xtreme programing on windows Xp working with directX making a game for the Xbox about the X-men with my X-Girlfriend. Then I'll release it for free and register a website for it, how about X.org! Oh... uh, Wait...
I don't what it is about what you said that makes me want to go watch some porn...
People are not nearly so uptight as in the US. Gor crying out loud, we had an office party here for Christmas and everyone got a drunk — those who didn't still sang and danced and had a good time. Contrast this with my experience with typical American office parties where they order some bland catered food, sip on mineral water and itch at their cotton-polyester blend polo shirts waiting to go home so they can work some more.
Umm.. Dude.. I work for a small software company in the U.S. We are TOTALLY relaxed. I mean, an office party usually means a lot of alcohol and several of us will bring some weed. Most people get stoned, those who don't, at least get good and shitfaced. Hell, at the end of the work day its not uncommon for a bunch of us to get stoned (in the office no less!). I love my job.
But your generalizations are probably correct, my company is quite the exception to the rule.
As I mentioned already, for most movies that are not from Hollywood (porno, foreign films, etc), CSS is not an issue.
I can see why he would want to have 1000 porno movies cued up with the option of using the menus. Can you say "scene selection"?:)
Maybe no off the shelf product is going to recognize all these movies that dwarf the amount of movies Hollywood produces, maybe someone can piece together a nice open source solution.

Besides, that is what your browser is for you lazy app using sods!
Also: ability to load video through iTunes. I've got plenty of porn loaded into my iPhone for wanking it on the go. Why would I need an app for that?

Enjoy your new career as a prostitute.

you have to browse -certain web sites that would require you be smoking weed to start with; like the Microsoft.com -Vista developer site.
As a pot smoker (and a Linux user who doesn't like Windows), I'm offended.
Start hiring hookers during lunch with petty cash instead. Getting your pipes cleaned will make you a lot more productive that afternoon than getting drunk.
You'd think that. I get my girlfriend to suck me off during lunch time (my apartment is close to the area we work in), but it just makes me want to take a nap. Helps with stress, though.

If you have the opportunity to work nights, try it.
If I did that, I'd have my girlfriend trying to come to my office to have sex.
Worst of all is if your parents are the performers!!!
put up a torrent, I love me some amateur porn.
Not every crime is equally important.

Just one question before I pack my bags. Is broadband cheap in the netherlands?

Yes, and so is the weed

So many memories.....erased.
More like:
"So many memories... *flashback* aghhhhhh I'm freaking out!!!!"
I had some of the best times and worst times on LSD.
That's just what I need... A device that bitch slaps me everytime it gets turned on......
Haha.. You're a ho.

Send some of those B.C. buds my way, bro.
I agree, it really is a good thing. And a lot of distros patch their kernels so this really is no big deal.

This is going to be a problem for anyone trying to by a large amount of illegal drugs or weapons with a few thousand of these $20 dollar bills.
Guess they will just have to use $10's.
