  1. so is the govt... big deal on Mitnick: Security Not about Technology · · Score: 1

    "Fuck Kevin Mitnick! People like Eric Corley have dedicated
    their whole miserable lives to help "free" guilty Kevin Mitnick.
    The truth of the matter is Eric Corley is a "profiteering glutton",
    using Kevin Mitnick's misfortune for his own personal benefit and
    profit."

    For every cent I make, the govt just is a glutten to make its cut with me.

    Meanwhile they devalue the currency and steal another 4% ontop of the 35% they stole already.

  3. so did the cop who busted him on Mitnick: Security Not about Technology · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yeah and a movie made about the deal.

    Blame the FED who wanted his ass bad, Id say that COP is a damn looser, sure he caught his nemesis evil bad guy and got a promotion, where is he now? I hope he feels good about himself how the justice-crap system treated kevin so badly (yeah all LEOs are brain dead otherwise they would have real jobs)

    "WOW Mum, look I cought a bad guy" Big deal, its like trying to catch flies with chop sticks.

    Mr LEO should have had the brains to investigate the bogus claims the companies used in their 'LOSSES' to claim uber large tax credits and insurance compo claims, I bet they got millions in benefits out of it and yet its considered 'normal business', yeah right. They are as bad or worse because they hide under the Armani Suits and lawyers in the firm.

    Let Kevin live it up, he was put thru utter crap because of dumbass red neck cops who now probably get bombarded with spam/spyware and CANT DO ANYTHING about it. HAhahhaha

  6. i think in uml therefore why draw it on The Code Is The Design · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can visualize lots of code/processes as UML type
    diagrams, but I see spending 4hrs drawing some crap as a waste when I could have completed the code by then.

    I tend to write my code as nice as possible that even a drunk coder could understand it.

    I may code up stuff fast with out UML diags, but if people/others need to maintain it, doing a high level UML or layout diag is easy enough to do on demand. Somethings are sometimes too easy to comprehend so id rather not waste hours doing fancy diagrams putting me to sleep.

    Try imaging the UML diag for just IE, I bet theres a high level one, but not one down to each class/logic IF statement.

    If UML is soooo important ,then perhaps it should be part of an IDE, when you hit NEW PROJECT. Do away with source files and include files and have the whole source in a database with each class in each 'file' or 'table', but do away with files as such, just make em transparent.

    There i was thinking in 01 to make a pay site and get wholesale sms services to deliver it, but during full time work I would not have had time. Pitty, other businesses are creaming it up with 10000s per month in sales.

    I guess porn desktops is another, but there probably be (C) issues there if the girls find out their image is used... eh who knows. Though someone would have to sit through editing 100000s images to get lots of 120x120 desktops cropped correctly and placed in their catagories of 'body parts' :)

    Big friends in high places, lets unite and make it look like someone else is doing this... takes the blame away... etc... Usual Suspects, Usual Scum.

    Imagine if cars were non transfereable, used car market would be DEAD.

    Technically and legally, the airlines could easily setup a system were anyone could reauthorize their ticket to anyone else, like a normal sale, and with only $3 admin fee (talking 5minutes to a $11/hr employee should not cost $25 admin fees, again same scum making false fees)
    or done online. We know us slashdotters could easily do it, unless their ticket systems are so ancient and cruddily coded in COBOL or some lego systems.

    Why is it easier to build a 747 with millions of parts and efficient engineering, yet the airlines billing/ticket/scheduling systems are MORE OUTDATED than your local blockbuster running DOS ordering systems.

    true, i agree, system ram should always be at 100% usage, for cache etc...

    BUT what we hate is stupid ass programs having leaks or caching TOO MUCH when not needed. Stupid ass windows still pages out tonnes of stuff to disk, even though you may only use 400 out of 512meg ram.

    I mean, comon, thats just pure lunacy, crap coding done by idiotic grad programmers.

    Why page out when usage is 80%? Why cant I have a setting, "* DONT PAGE OUT if 95%" for christs /antichrists sake.

  18. Re:Too bad it still doesn't fix the RAM problem on Firefox 1.0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    I agree the ram prob should be fixed, at least the leaks.

    Though when you think about what ram cost in 1998, ie 2 days wages bought you crap all, today that buys you a huge amount of ram. So perhaps we should all run min 1g ram.

    Though with this bad economy and rich getting richer (bastards), and us poor folk living week to week with increasing credit card debt, we cant just say "screw it buy 1gig ram" when we have lives, and food to buy and rent to pay and electricity to pay for.

    One has to wonder if the language of choice English or whatever is so structured and rule ridden and not just made up on the fly. Then how come its so difficult to determine all the rules?
