Well, while there is nothing wrong with having a good technology policy and so earning the election and funding bonus for (almost) being a nerd, there is something wrong with getting money through it AND indulging in policies about topics like immigration in the way he did. Irritating that he didn't leave neither his original policy ("american jobs for american people"), nor his reaction to the community ("ok, now i see my primary source of funding (the internets) doesn't like that, so i revert and remove it from my programme").
At least, there is something wrong with people giving him money without being informed about his *other* policies (or his general mindset, that is).
I'm sorry to say this, but he plays you guys like sock puppets.
Also, an eye-opener was, that that same guy originally had some weird attitude about immigrants, a la "american jobs only for american people", which he switched, when a huge cryout from the/. rolled over him...
And I really think he already was mentioned on/. some time (weeks-months) ago, at least I recall a particular cartoon, that with the 20$ thing.
Please chaps, please think twice before giving a guy money just because he is "from the internets".
And please stop political advertising on/., it really sucks, no matter who it is.
of course police detectives try to figure out how to re-enact the crime themselves as they are trying to solve it, and very good training (like special ops, drug enforcement) always includes playing the role of the malignant.
of course they are supposed to try their stuff on a "simluated" (as in: non productive, setup only for that task) system.
The course has a very high quality and includes practical exercises like sql exploits, writing buffer overflows, trojans and the like.
You even get your own automatically generated "1337 handle" upon subscription to the course, and you can advance from "script kiddy" (not homework assignments aka challenges turned in) to "master guru" (turned in everything + extra work + participated in a CTF) - so actually participating in the course is more fun and play than work;)
I wonder why that article is news, since there is a CTF (http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~vigna/CTF/) held every year, where a lot of universities and colleges from everywhere participate - i doubt they don't have similar courses.
Then again, since the viennese guys kick ass at these contests...;)

Exactly.

this is an aweful stupid post.

as a two-semester course.
It is held at the technical university in vienna and is called "InetSec"

I second that. Interesting research, but it has almost nothing to do with what "language acquisition" is commonly referring to.
