Fuck that. If disclosing it to these people puts yourself at great risk, it's no wonder it just gets uploaded to the most convenient 0day full disclosure community. Then they HAVE to take it seriously. The broken dynamic is the fault of corporates and governments, not 'hackers.'
Universities are known for groupthink bandwagoneering. People who routinely fall for those dynamics are not as bright as you may think. In fact, they do usually get the flu strain wrong, making it pointless and possibly detrimental to your health if your immune system reacts like you're actually infected with live virus.
I'd love it if the government would throw that extra 10-50 bil (of raw tax income) into paying off the debt and do its part to help secure the financial future of the first world. The last thing we need are more silly blue ribbon programs that do nothing but shuffle money into political thinktanks and corporate welfare, like you suggested.
Your alternative might work better technologically, especially once the number of entries grows significantly, but it is not simpler than a text file used as a blacklist. Also, centrally maintained lists are open to political and economic attacks that might neuter their ability to do the intended job.
I think his point was that what browsers offer is redundant while modern improvements brought benefits to pcs. Browsers were simply meant to show static content. Making them scriptable is what killed the original point of http: platform independent documents. It also brought a slew of security problems that are still dealt with today... Oh, and it encourages hostile user/developer relationships a la SaaS.
Yes.. adding >=www-client/firefox-28 to/etc/portage/package.mask/firefox is extremely difficult, especially for the people who post here. Installing it is even harder as 'emerge firefox' must be typed into the console.
a. there's more to an interface than color b. the start screen is one of the problems. changing its tiles solves nothing. c. 'clearly' traditional menus are better. I'm already used to them and they autohide after clicking an item or by clicking elsewhere. no need for carets. (see? I can do it too)
Wow, you must have a lot of built up self-loathing to make statements like that. That, or you're suffering from a crazy case of stockholm syndrome. This would be understandable as hatred of masculinity oozes from every public orifice these days...and stop misusing the word 'professional.'
What 'horrific' things then? Stupid jokes? Wise cracking? Sarcasm? Dark humor? Welcome to reality, especially in realms with 'high functioning' people. Society should not be responsible for propping up ultra-sensitive spineless sorts. How could one 'feel unsafe' in an office building with a few colleagues joking around? Really? Is society that soft now?
The fact that girls are apparently allowed to 'express themselves' without a care in the world while guys are demonized for simple glances should tell you who the real 'victims' (if this could even be called victimization) are, as well as the real perpetrators.
Dark humor goes hand in hand with 'high functioning' teams. Social interaction would be quite dull without it. In contrast, most of society has been programmed to think emotional sensitivity is more important than any other trait, no matter what. Society needs to decide what's more important at work: intelligence/hard work/results or feelings. I think we should focus on getting youth to handle jokes better. It's always the ultra-sensitive types who blow up later. The ones who don't blow up their highschools become little bossy tyrants in the offices they work in, making everyone's lives miserable. When we gave them political outlets with identity politics, it got a lot worse.
The word 'meritocracy' should be no problem for people wanting equal opportunity. It WOULD be problematic for people who are claiming they want equal opportunity, but really just want everything equally distributed regardless of work put in.
I see you have no problem negatively stereotyping men as 'pigs'. Interesting. Not very convincing when you're apologizing for feminist man-hate, but interesting.
Some percentage of male engineers really have no idea how to treat women in a professional environment. Not long ago, I saw a company-wide email from a recent grad who thought it would make sense to make a joke about female anatomy. This sort of thing is not unusual, and even though it's a relatively small percentage of men who are this clueless, they can make a work environment really difficult for women.
Apparently, feminists have no problem with jokes about, or actual male genital mutilation on public television, so I don't think equality is the real issue. It's more likely a power grab. Women play the feminist card quite a bit these days.
I'm sure if the joke in that email targeted male genitalia, it would've been fine because the feminists on that list would've laughed, and the insecure simps would not have felt the need to 'defend' the women around them. Frankly, I tire of this victimhood behavior from women as well as the white knighting bullshit from pantywaisted male apologists. Ultra-sensitivity and confidence/leadership/productivity do NOT go hand in hand. Part of becoming an adult is learning to laugh at jokes instead of taking them personally. This adult generation has become a generation of insecure reality-tv drama queens who fume and squabble over the most useless bullshit imaginable. I blame identity politics in public schools, university campuses, and media programming.
On the other hand, as a male engineer myself with many years of experience and a CS degree, I have certainly worked in places where I had to spend a year or so proving my value to a bunch of ivy-league alum egomaniacs (who, to be honest, have been very smart). Gender is not always the issue when your ideas are met with criticism and character judgment.
character assassination is a fallacy. Just tune it out and remind them to focus on discussing the idea instead of name calling. You'd be surprised how many people get this stunned look on their faces when you dismiss their 'witty' tirades against you with one sentence: "My ${trait} has nothing to do with ${argument}." Most get very angry and defensive. A few, though, are self-aware enough to see the error and (usually) don't make it again (with you, anyway). Be prepared, though, for them to eviscerate your position if it isn't really solid (this is as it should be).
I'm sorry, but if you think women's 'equality' depends on banning the use of certain words, then women aren't leadership material. Leaders lead in SPITE of competition/subversion. The ones who can't hack it are the ones who forget that 'sticks and stones' nursery rhyme.
Seems like denying the SAT to students who might not score well is a real example of exclusion. Besides, what good is a test where the score distribution is between 2350 and 2400?
Adaptation takes time and money.. too much money, these days, with college fast becoming a thing for rich people. Asking someone to re-adapt to a new field every 5 years is not sustainable.

The search algorithm and data format matter more than the low latencies gained from ring0. There's a reason large databases don't use flat text files.
Maybe it's time that interviewers stopped judging people on irrelevancies like clothing style.
Statically linked or dynamically linked, it'll be insecure.
Compared with today's 'designs', loaded with useless whitespace, content barren marketing speak, and tons of video ads? I'll take 1998's www any day.

Try making arguments without ad-hominem. Just because someone objects to change doesn't mean it's due to fear.

The biggest problem with windows 8 is windows 8.
No. He just likes to get work done with an interface designed for the hardware used.
Twitter posts by the claimant are not proof of anything.
Assuming this isn't sarcasm..

Well, you've got nothing to worry about as you're never starting a tech company.

But hay, a feminist said it so there must be some underlying man-hatred motive, right?
Yes, actually. Man-shaming has always been part of the narrative, since the whole "women need men like fish need a bicycle" and scum manifesto thing.
