People should have to have a licence to own a computer and take a test so that they understand security issues.
You, sir, are a f*cking moron. There are millions of people in this country alone licensed to drive, but does that stop accidents from occuring? Anyone can memorize a load of bullshit (they don't care about) long enough when it's a prerequisite to get something they want. As soon as they get the license (car or computer) the information they memorized can take a flying leap.
I can't believe someone even suggested some dumbass bullshit like this. What are you, a politician?
Dissatisfied with the pace at which Tornado addressed the issue [...], McDanel severed his employment with them, and went to work for another company.
There is no way in hell I'd risk my future after I'd severed my employment with the company in question. As far as I would be concerned, it's too damn bad. They knew about the risk, they did little to nothing to address it, so they're obviously willing to accept the risk of an actual compromise from a third party happening. I'm not risking a jail term, or especially a possible felony charge! You get convicted of a felony, your job prospects have just been cut to about 10% of what they were previously.
...that I'm a damn programmer, and my system was secured from this exploit (due in large part to my overly paranoid nature), but the workstations belonging to my depts microcomputer support & network manager were all vulnerable and hit. Dumbasses. I spent my entire morning trouble shooting, patching, and fixing the workstations belonging to my office's higher-ups & executives (I was specifically requested by them, I might add), while the network & micro fucktards ran around fixing the computers of the no-counts. Needless to say, I pissed off a lot of people today, but thank God they aren't the ones who sign my check.
I look at the never ending laziness of network support as continuing to supply me with the opportunities to secure my employment. Also, the thank you email from the prez really gave me a chubby.
on cd...I bought the collection a few years ago...the emulator and games are arcade perfect. All of the glitched are there, from joust to robotron, etc. These classic games, at least the ones I own, aren't going anywhere.
I never send anything to president@whitehouse.gov, but I do use that email address when any software or websites require me to enter an email to download or register something. I wonder what the amount of porn sent to that email address is? Pity the poor bastard who has to sort through that shit.
...to keep your farking job. The whole point is to put money in your pocket and food on the table for your family anyway. I'm just as disgusted as any other programmer (who takes pride in their work) with QnD solutions, and I'm always left feeling it WASN'T my best work, but you know what? I always ask myself these three questions:
Does it (the software) work?
Does it (the software) do what it is supposed to do?
Did I get paid?
and if I can say "Yes" to all three of them, I find it much easier to live with QnD. Let the next generation sort out the spaghetti code. They've got to cut their teeth on something.
I don't get called at all. I had my phone turned off. I swear to Gawd, I used to get at least five phone calls a night from solicitors. Now, I get none!
Think about it. It's basically a big huge cock stuck in the ground. I mean, the boy is hung! The huge Sarlaac cock just travels underground until finding a nice female Sarlaac (coincidentally, stuck in the ground in a big HOLE, so it's not as if she can run away) and just tags that booty from the subterranean angle.
Spores indeed. WTF is the point of living if you can't get some poontang every so often. Being asexual would SUCK!
Although, now that I think about, I'd never have to pay for dinner and a movie again...hmmmm
Slashdot Mirror
speaking of Yahoo...I just installed RedHat 9 tonight, and couldn't get the Yahoo IM to install correctly. Anyone have any suggestions for a newbie?
the results augur well for Apple G5 performance in technical and scientific computing environments and for playing games.
Awesome! This is just awesome news!! My next big question is: how is it surfing for pr0n???
With cool stuff like this, it's no wonder MIT is number one in engineering.
Number one compared to what?
Maybe it's because they're in bed with Microsoft that makes them so smart?
and if it does, I'll just sniff the traffic, find out what port it's going out on, and just block that on my home LAN. Easy-peasy, japanesy....

You gotta love this type of thinking. Let's go ahead and plan on f*cking up another planet before we're finished f*cking this one up!

A guy works for a large company for a period of time....et, al.
Is it just me, or does this sound like Total Recall?
You said 'ACK' so I say 'SYN! ACK!"....And you say.....

a bad, sick joke....

...pure arrogance to me. Seems like a typical scientist.
The artist however, is often left with little choice in the matter.
Yeah, especially when you're a band that sucks as bad as Rush does.
<Bart>I didn't think it was possible for anything to both suck and blow at the same time.</Bart>
I hope to God they're not doing an ascending sort on that; that puts me near the top! Oh wait, all I download is pr0n. *Whew*

This hit the news over a year ago, but we didn't have the technical details
nor the interest, IMHO
The only thing dumber than this lukewarm attempt at a joke, is the fact that I actually sat here and read the thing.
I never send anything to president@whitehouse.gov, but I do use that email address when any software or websites require me to enter an email to download or register something. I wonder what the amount of porn sent to that email address is? Pity the poor bastard who has to sort through that shit.

Dude, it's a Sarlaac.

Can I use this on my boss? She sometimes acts like her heart is made of stone.
What is SMS?
I'll let you watch me take a dump for $10.
And only a full YEAR after I got tired of playing the version I paid for.
