what makes him or any one else with a firearm any different then a police officer that carries a firearm? Here in order to get a CC license you have to go through the exact same background checks as well as fire arm traning as the police do.
Did you intend to say "exact same firearm training", but understood that would be pushing it too far?
Here is a clue: even with the training that police officers get, the percentage of successful fire (i.e., in real situations) when done by them is about 2%.
Oh, the joy of geeks with CC permits firing at criminals in public locations...
Many students have friends write papers. Some students pay others to do it. Most think that the professor does not read them anyway. No person thinks that they will be caught. That is for sure.
You forgot that all of them think they got punished unjustly.
My favorite is a couple (guy and girl) whom I caught sharing code in programming assignment.
It was really touching when they went about how it's impossible to not talk about the assignment, and to prevent sharing of ideas. Then, after I've shown them the result of the similarity checker (same code, to the spelling mistakes), the guy shut up, and the girl went bullshitting about how it's "hard" and "not fair".
Finally, she started crying. Of course, she copied the assignment, and of course, she wouldn't assume the responsibility on herself (we don't advertise this, but they know that if one of the two assumes guilt, the other will get his grade restored).
Needless to say, this was a service course to non-CS students. Our approach to plagiarism was quite unusual for them.
Experienced programmers used to working with C or C++ know about this and write code where this isn't a problem.
Not that simple (in case you are talking about host/network order conversions), it's rather the issue of serialization being integral to Java.
In C you can't assume the layout of a structure, and in C++ you can't even assume that a class is continuous in memory. So writing serialization functions is a must.
I don't know... Doesn't the horrible syntax follow from its declarative nature, which is in turn a result of having to obey by rules of static typing, such as what can be passed as argument, function overloading, etc.?
For example, look at lisp-like macros. Defmacro is as simple as it gets (not too familiar with it though); hygienic macros are terribly hard to define (that is, the macro system itself), and are less powerful, which is due to different type of safety.
You can say that hygienic macro syntax is still nice, but it's not nice in a sense that you sometimes have to write a lot of code for something which could be much easily expressed with less safe macro system.
Well of course that's what templates are. Yes, their syntax is horrendous but that's what comes of trying to wedge the concept into the existing crannies of C syntax (or when, as Stroustrup remarked to me once, "the ecological niche was already polluted").
No, that's what comes of implementing the concept in a system with static type safety.

Yes, pointers without pointer arithmetic, without ability to point to arbitrary locations inside objects, without ability to put arbitrary data to the pointed location.
Handlers are not pointers.
I suggest you read a book about implementing programming languages.
So true. And this is straight from their main page:
"Are you as sick of getting the "I never got your email." line as I was? This will eliminate that excuse completely. It really lets you know whom you're dealing with."
If you get the excuse while the system shows they read the message, it really does.
That's not even close to being correct. Gravitational force is a myth. Nothing is pulling the orbiting body invards. A body in orbit is essentially following the shortest path in space-time curvature.
I took a class in cryptography last semester. The professor offered the best words of advice I ever heard in the subject: "Don't try to create new algorithms. We know how to do that already. What we have is secure. What you need to work on is the implementation. Just because something uses encryption, it is by no means secure."
It wasn't a class in cryptography then. Topics in applied cryptography? Some mini-project?

What's your point?

After ten years of studying, maybe.
Couple of months in boxing section will do more to protect you - and I'm quoting an acquaintance of mine with dan II in T.Q.D.
Let me guess, it is not a problem there, because you shoot targets really well in the shooting range?
I guess it will be very entertaining when your weapon will be used against you the moment you get it out.

You've mastered irony... I'm impressed.
You don't really know how academic research works, do you?

Also, Java startup on *NIX system is slow because it goes through about 5 different shell scripts before startup.
Bullshit.

I see clear tradeoffs here...
Judging from the fact that I am not from the USA, I render your comment void and purposeless.
In other words, capital punishment was never abandoned anywhere?

In other words, I was right on both issues.
P.S. "Non-community world" - heh. I'm not even American, clown.
Community college?

aespipe is a fast lightweight UNIX solution that is simpler than GPG:

There is an established UNIX solution which is not restricted to AES, and doesn't look like it's written by amateurs - mcrypt.
God, you are such a moron.
How old are you, 14-15? Grow up.
Not like the hypocrisy of disguising a link to "antiwar" site.
I can't but admit my crucial mistake. Your observation completely invalidates my argument.
