I'd love a different job, but I don't want to work fast food, and until I graduate I'm stuck supporting some code that was written before I was born that's pretty much devoid of comments
In the Linux community if you want something to happen, get involved. They've got an irc channel listed there so that you can come in and drop some input. Get an RC and help sort out some of the bugs. Give them a hand. I hate developing when I'm getting paid. I can't imagine how it must be to have a thankless development job.
Sorry, I don't often get around to checking slashdot and just now received your reply. You're taking it a bit out of context. While I agree music should be made for the artist's intrinsic desire to make music, and not profit, that if this snowballs fully, there will be a lot of artists, real, true musicians who can't make ends meet and will have to choose between a pipe dream and feeding their family. The stories of the underdog making it big are very heartwarming, but they're few and far between.
if (!had_a_good_family) {?
While that is still technically correct, it's needlessly more complex. if(had_a_bad_family){, while saying the same thing, is more concise. I know the two statements are almost identical, and are identical in function, but I've always felt that the shortest, simplest statement that accomplishes my goal is the best. It's all about efficency. I don't know anyone who would say would use negative numbers in equation where non-negatives would accomplish the same thing, just as easy or easier.
Just because you never planned on buying it doesn't entitle you to a free copy of it. Why should you get a freebie just because you're less interested? *I* pirate music. I make absolutely no excuses for it, nor do I try to sugar coat it. What I do is illegal. Do I feel that the RIAA charges an absurd amount for music? Yes, and they've been punished for it, but they've just paid the fine because it was more profitable. Do I think the RIAA uses racketeering tactics? Yes, they pick on people who have no means to defend themselves. As brutish as they are, and they are brutish, what I'm doing is *illegal*. Your short-sighted view of piracy doesn't see the larger picture. It is becoming oversubscribed, and like any slashdotter, let me blow this way out of proportion. Presumably if music piracy continues to grow at this exponential rate, how long is it going to be before it becomes to not be profitable to make music? We sir, you and I may be contributing to the eventual total demise of the commercial music industry, and while that prospect does sadden me, I won't stop downloading music that I want. I make no excuses for my actions. I suggest you get off of your high horse and, at the very least, take responsibility for your actions.
This Anonymous Coward is my new personal hero.
I myself leave my wap open. Anyone who doesn't vpn has open access to port 80/81 and a handful of others that are pretty commonplace. Not open enough for them to do any damage, but plenty enough for people to browse around the internet, check their email, and even IM. I firewall them from my network and give them enough leeway to be productive on the web. Seems pretty win-win.
I think that we can assume that he was making the assumption that the OP was still ignoring things that he or she should be paying attention to. In which case he or she should have paid closer attention while in high school, and he or she should still pay closer attention in the post-secondary world.
So, you're both correct. You each get 75%, which is average.
It did happen, but what what you, like most people fail to know about the coffee that burned the woman was that it was absurdly hot. McDonalds keeps their coffee close to boiling, but the coffee handed to the woman was near a whooping 240F well beyond the 180F norm, and well beyond what should be considered "safe" for serving to consumers. Most people are pretty quick to just think the woman is either greedy or mentally-inept, but she did have a fairly solid point. That coffee was *dangerously* hot.
It's true... I have a friend that finished school two years ago. His employer asked him to create a facebook account and check the profiles of a handful of applicants from my school. Scary prospect.

User,
From your usage history, it seems to me that you like bloated software, spyware, torjans, viruses, worms, and other malware. I've take the liberty of installing all of these with the latest features. I've also removed all productivity software, as my records indicate you were failing out of school anyway.
Regards,
Your new-age OS.
While it is true that each time a new DRM scheme comes out, some prodigy out there reverse-engineers/cracks it so that anyone can listen to it.
Unfortunately, they're in violation of the DMCA each and everytime they do this. Any US citizens are at an extreme liability. Any non-citizens who accomplish said goal better be in a non-extraditing country, and making no future plans for travel within the US's boarders.
You can't be serious. Photoshop can make somethings look pretty real, but there are a few things we should consider. Presumably the Turkish vigilante had never met the guy, so he wouldn't know which pictures to mangle up. Another, is that it happened six years ago. Photoshop was functional six years ago, but nearly as robust as it is today. Lastly, and most importantly, editing photos in that manner leave plenty of traces that even non-experts can spot if they ever successfully did a where's waldo. A few big ways to spot photoshop fakes are inconsistent focus with items that appear to either be in the background or foreground when they shouldn't be. Non-contiguous elements, small details like angles of extremities, an example of this, a very blatant one, would be someone standing behind a table, but if you look under the table in the photo, he has no legs. Items like this, but presumably a lot more subtle. Shading and skin texture, slight overlays with what is on the layer behind the foreground, whether the lighting on the added elements matches the lighting on the original elements.
These are all things that just a casual observer can pick up, get someone with a degree in graphic design, photography, journalism, related field and let them review the submitted pictures. Due to the nature of the evidence, and the very strange manner in which it was collected, I would assume that they had an expert witness, probably one for each the prosecuting and defending attourneys to submit their opinions.
With the exception of the hacker doing the gathering of evidence, we have no reason to believe this case wasn't handeled as throughly and professionally in the courtroom as any other case. Attorney competence not withsanding.
He was convicted of sexual explotation of a minor, in addition to receiving child pornography. One would guess that some of the pictures on the hard drive depicted him in certain acts with one of the children...
Not that anyone bothers to read the articles. I have no problems with the way the evidence was collected if 1.) The guy really is a Turkish citzen acting under absolutely no direction of domestic law enforcement (I do think protecting the constitution is important) 2.) the FBI didn't lie about their involvement with the person (I think their involvement with the guy is fairly suspect, and would merit further investigation, which would invalidate point one. If he were an american citizen, who did act without the direction of law enforcement officals, the evidence would still be admitted to court, which I endorse. However if he is an American citizen, I would also wish him to be prosecuted for whatever digital crimes he commited.)
A lot of people are asking how do they know the evidence was not planted by the white-hat.
I would speculate that some of the pictures found on the hard drive had pictures of the defendant in them. If you would have read the case breif he was sentenced for child pornography AND sexual explotation of a minor (appearing to be around six years old) Now, like I said, this is speculation, but it seems to be the only logical conclusion, based on the information provided.
Yeah, but he's wrong.
Since when is 18 out of 295 16%?
Personally, I'd rather be able to perform simple arithmatic than know some obscure grammatical fact.
I go to a state school.
They don't dictate what AV/firewall software to use, but they do provide site liscensing for McAfee. We pay for it w/ tuition I'll bet, but still.

Don't just read Slashdot for your news fix. According to the CNN article those instructions were added later.

In my experience, grouping with couples always leads to some sort of weird drama.
