To everyone who is saying "I don't pay attention because I know all this stuff already": The point of the class is to move from what you do know now to something new. If you stop paying attention during the review, you will miss the transition to new material and when you do start paying attention again you'll be hopelessly lost. I made this mistake in college more times than I can count.
Most viruses are named by the discoverer, not the author. The name usually comes from some unique characteristic of the virus (Melissa, because that name appeared in it, for instance).
No, do wait. So you don't end up sitting in front of the guy who goes "holy fuck!" every 5 seconds during the opening scene.

I think it's more a symptom of the fact that it's "unfashionable" to have absolute good and evil in this modern world. Every hero must have his flaws, every villain must have his justification, and we must always see every side of every issue. It's almost being politically correct; no evil is really bad, just misunderstood, and no hero is really righteous, just possessing a temporary and unfair advantage.
Given that Slashdot time was 100 years and wall-clock time was 102 years, we can determine that Slashdot is moving at an average velocity of 2.941 x 10^8 meters per second relative to the news source. No wonder no one has time to read the article...
There is no "starting" manpage. All the manpages are linked in a vast web to such a degree that each page has 3 or 4 "prerequisites" with equally complicated manpages. They are useless until you know at least the basics of processes, the shell (make that *all* the shells), the filesystem, and all sorts of other things that no single manpage gathers into one place and presents in a digestible manner.
Ignoring the arguments about whether it's "terrorism", this does touch on a very important issue. Does making your computer deliberately insecure count as negligence if it is used to commit a crime? Are you liable if you accidentally leave your car unlocked and it is used to commit a crime? What if you did so deliberately? What if you put a sign in the window saying "Anyone is free to use this car so long as you return it"? Where do you draw the line between generosity and irresponsibility?
If they get fired, won't that release them from any corporate online behavior guidelines? Then they can offer support on the forums as members of the public until the cows come home. And they won't have any obligation not to badmouth the company when it deserves it.
Yes, especially considering that I, Robot is a collection of short stories and it makes no sense to announce a movie based on the book as a whole. Maybe a miniseries on the scifi channel...
There is right now a huge exhibit on Einstein at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC. Worth checking out if you're in the area over the next few months.
What's even slicker is that the diagnostic output that used to go all over the screen was instead written to NVRAM, and moved out to disk (~/Library/Logs IIRC) when you rebooted.
Even MS isn't immune to the chicken-and-egg problem. Reduced (not eliminated) piracy is not going to be enough to convince companies to pick the OS with a few thousand uers over the OS with tens of millions. And people are already not moving to XP because Win2K is "good enough".

What's the cargo capacity of a 747 they already own with the passenger compartment removed and a remote-control rig instead of a cockpit?
Feel free to walk into the Louvre and buy the Mona Lisa. I somehow doubt you could afford it, though.

If they want to prevent smart people from being fired, I won't complain. Although my boss might :P
Yes, and they are REQUIRED to become a member, because selfishly keeping their HTML source to themselves is a crime against humanity.
Because not everyone shares your definition of "worthwhile".
Why was he forced to accept the prosecution doing this? Couldn't he have literally forced his way into the courtroom if he really wanted?
Wait until you can take a 45-second video with the camera built into your cellphone and send it to a friend or post it to online storage.
No, do wait. So you don't end up sitting in front of the guy who goes "holy fuck!" every 5 seconds during the opening scene.

What BS. Give me LOTR any day.
Adult Swim is not Toonami. Trigun has been rejected from Toonami before due to excessive gun use.
If we pirate 1,000 songs but all of them were crap, we're innocent?

If you can move the app's windows while it's busy or frozen, it's Cocoa. If you can't, it's Carbon.

Possibly because the PC version of Halo will actually be finished and released...
