If you're unemployed or a burger flipper, you're no longer an IT worker. I'm not a "Student Crew Member" at the moment just because I used to do that but now I'm in a different job. Once your job in that field goes away and you change to something else you can't claim it as your job description.
It's funny how all the other replies to this thread still ignore the main issue posed here. Still trying to find a way to call it "hacking". The general bent on this site is "Oh, if they have bad security, it's their fault if I see the stuff" until this and then it's "nail the bastards to the wall"
I'm so fucking sick of the hypocrasy that this site exhibits. Both parties suck ass right now... drop the goddamn partisan bullshit and try working toward fixing the problems in the country, not toward painting those on the other side in an even more unflattering light than the last time.
Yeah, 'cause Presidents should stop doing absolutely everything possibly positive during the election year so it doesn't look like they're trying to get votes.
Could you point me to the part of the Constitution that states:
"You will have the freedom to drive an out of control tranker truck until it crashes into a building, off a bridge or into any other object."
I fail to see how having an auto shutdown on something like this is impunging on any rights I have, other than the right to die in a firey exposion... which is a right I waive.
This place is getting so badly paranoid it's not even funny.
"Clocks move forward an hour tonight. Is this a plan to steal personal time so you get to work sooner next week?"
"Bush makes phone call. Is this the one that orders mass nuclear attacks on average Americans?"
"McDonalds introduces new burger. Plans for mass extinction of cattle, humans in the works?"
The falsehood would be saying "if Bush wins the 2004 election it was due to x, y or z and most certainly wasn't because he won under the rules for winning an election."
Psst.. saying something is a "fact" without having any actual evidence (other than "The person I wanted to lose didn't... must've been rigged") means it's not a fact.
That would be his attributing a Bush win in 2004 to any reason other than the obvious (if it were to happen): that he was elected under the rules set forth for elections.
Now, why would my post be a falsehood? I stated two things:
1) That the parent post is someone who will look for any reason to explain a Bush victory other than the Occum's Razor one
2) That people complain about the majority vote issue but nothing has been done.
Both look to be factual to me.... care to explain?
Yeah, keep telling yourself that so you have something to fall back on when he wins again. Always easier to comfort yourself with some falsehood than face up to the fact that others in the US don't share your views.
And, keep in mind that the majority vote is not how the Presidential elections work. Don't like it... work to change it instead of harping on the "majority vote" issue. I find it strange that this was such a big deal in 2000 yet none of the Democratic pols have introduced a bill to change the national elections over to popular vote.
So, what you're saying is that this guy's common sensical answer rubs you the wrong way? Ever think the scientists went into their study to prove their hypothesis and, therefore, didn't take the fact that people live in what could be considered far worse cases of "too much light" than where they did study? Scientists aren't infalliable, ya know.
Price-fixing? How is eBay responsible for price-fixing? It's the seller who determines their opening bids, not eBay. Can't hold eBay responsible for a seller's inflated vaule of their items for auction.
His point is that now the smug self-superiority he gets by being in on something that the general public (ie AOL users) aren't is now going to be gone, so he'll have to move on to something else to continue his quest of being "different" from the norm.
a) It was a vast conspiracy by the evil alien empire with the earth combined with the Republican national committee to divert attention from a meeting of their evil cabal.
b) Some talking head on the news didn't do his research worth a damn.
I take it your impression of this list was to be 100% complete. No... it's more a random sample of a greater list of countries.
How can the U.S. argue in good conscious that it has the moral right to enforce the UN resolutions without the blessing of the UN?
Maybe because the US is on the Security Council and would like to see that mean something? Maybe the fact is that the UN doesn't seem to have been up on actually enfocing any of the resolutions passed?
What good are the resolutions if they have no teeth to them?

Could you please provide a source for your statement that this is move is being pushed by the government? Or does such a source exist?
"Polar Regions" of course. /yes... this is a lame attempt at humor

Jesus... I'm living in a country of retards.
what the hell is an 'exander'?
Typical Slashdot misspelling. That should read 'expander.'
Yeah, 'cause Presidents should stop doing absolutely everything possibly positive during the election year so it doesn't look like they're trying to get votes.
But then the Supreme Court stepped in at the Republicans request
Yeah... after the Democrats took it to the courts to begin with.
Neither party's hands are clean in the whole fiasco.

The MPAA and the like are using "pirate"
Ignore hte evolution of the language all you want, but:
"3. One who makes use of or reproduces the work of another without authorization."
From: Dictionary.com
And it's not like that use is a recent language change.
Saying "considering he lost the popular vote in 200" in teh subject seems to be about "majority voting on a national level" to me.
Have problems with reading comprehension much?

Care to explain to me how RFID tags are an assault on your civil rights?
Would you also care to explain how someone might track one of these given you have to be less than around 2 meters away from one to read them?
Or would you rather bandy about typical fear-mongering about something you don't understand?
What about the possibility of you being located and tracked by the books that you carry?
Man, some people really have a bloated self-image if they think "the man" is so interested in them as to track everything they do.
Seriously, get a frigging grip people.
Incorrect, it's:
Krusty: "And if my banker is watching, let nothing STOP you from PAYMENT on this check."
Or you might refer to it by the original story that inspired it "The Most Dangerous Game"

Why don't Americans read their own literature and
need Russian to remind them?
Because:
1) It would be impossible to read every American authored book in a lifetime?
2) If we did #1 people would bitch about how "US-centric" we're being and rag on us for not reading other literature?
3) Maybe that book isn't our cup of tea?
Obviously you haven't been to a fast food place. The employees look pretty greasy to me already.

Let's see the choices:
a) It was a vast conspiracy by the evil alien empire with the earth combined with the Republican national committee to divert attention from a meeting of their evil cabal.
b) Some talking head on the news didn't do his research worth a damn.
Personally, I think it was a.
