"They still have to guess the root password. Of course, if they have a local account, they may be able to use a privilege escalation vulnerability to gain root access, but that is an issue for Apple."
...of course, if they're running sudo, they already have a local account. Privilege escalation's not going away any time soon, either.
It's javascript, but I'm willing to guess that it is probably handled similarly to how CGI:IRC does. Or even better, poll for "updates"/messages every X milliseconds -- even 1 second would still seem sufficiently responsive.
They're missing one of the most entertaining edutainment games around, Colobot!
Programming robots to do your dirty work on alien worlds, be it fetch and retrieve or guarding against some nasties. Fun game, give the demo a try.
I can confirm that this does occur on SMP systems, but it requires two instances. The first run of the program locks up one of the CPUs completely, and cannot be killed. The second kills the entire machine.

How does that help if you can't trust the site, though? That only adds trust on your end, not theirs.
You fail. It's a pun, dude.
So we put him in jail and give him a laptop. He may never know the difference from his basement!
This site should shed light: http://no-dmca.ch/index.en.html
And I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this fascinating book doesn't even begin to mention things like ER diagrams, or relational algebra.
All too often these days where even long-time DBAs don't know what relational algebra is. So sad, really.

Click the link at the bottom that selects the "Gmail mode"; change it from "standard with chat" to "standard without chat". Problem solved.

Nope -- gmail stops it from looping.
How can you seriously claim that there's a special place in hell for him, and in the next line reference Karma? Seems a bit contradictory to me :)
Perhaps though, in his next life [due to his bad karma], he'll be the lower-middle-class employee that gets fired for unproductivity in the workplace.

"Slashdot editors" seems to be and oxymoron....

Confirm this is true for Arizona State University as well! Very nice find!
I'm sure my colleagues and fellow students will appreciate this knowledge.
Thanks for the heads up.

You know, using "$@" would be a whole lot less of a kludge than that while loop...
Yeah, let's take a vote to decide on the third party! ;)

7200 (seconds in 2 hours) * 1000 Kbps / 8 (bites per byte) / 1024 (kbyte-> megabyte) = 878.9 megabytes. Or if 1Mbps = 1024kbps.. 7200 (seconds in 2 hours) * 1024 Kbps / 8 (bites per byte) / 1024 (kbyte-> megabyte) = 900 megabytes. It'd appear that your math is slightly incorrect.
