If a white kid believes a black kid is lower than dirt, and the black kid becomes better than this idiot, then what does that tell the idiot?
That he's lower than dirt, is what. I take no pleasure in destroying people's pride, I'd rather everyone come to the realization that measuring human beings and then having them jack each other off to feel good is nothing more than a cosmic handjob.
Then, as a last ditch effor, they turn to more invasive advertising, viruses, and spyware. As they do this, firefox becomes more and more resistant to such attacks.
Sounds good to me. Hell, if you couple this shit with proxomitron, you'll have yourself a good freggin time.
Like a model rocket or say, a bullet? It could also be radiation of some kind instead of a solid object, a kind of radiation which turns atmosphere dark and lightpoles sparky.
running a atandardised obtainable kernel(windows, linux, ect), with hardware level access after deencryption (if it's even encrypteD) and an exploit
.....
Am I the only one here thinking "bad fucking idea" or what? And lets not even mention the latency for distributed supercomputing applications. Everyone is now on wireless, unsecured, and sending signals all over the place. Hell, I should support that; free internet with the touch of a button after hijacking someone's toaster. w00t.
Not to mention the army of open source zealots who will be the ones called upon to creat such of a system, or rather, not hack the system to shreds and maintain such of a system. Besides, how the hell are they going to regulate wireless systems? Anyone can make an antenna and broadcast from it for miles around. Even within such of a system, there's huge insentive for corporate espionage and datamining. I really don't think corporations want the internet locked down, unless it's under their power.
If anything, this is the first report which may incite a string of government mandates to get laws passed and regulations/standardisation on equipment, of which the technology is already being developed in countries like China and in the US. This may only be helped along by idiot users screaming and begging for less spam, spyware, and viruses when a few more big-blaster style viruses hit that come with something of an actual payload.
Then we can imagine what happens if they make linux illegal; hey, you just invalidated thousands of hours of work for profit and taken my code and my creation to use it to enslave people. Yea, your really want to tick off a few million geeks with coding capabilities.
Ahh, but you see, that's the beauty of it; these cocksuckers probably don't watch their own websites. Have a world of wierd porn linking to a website that says "sorry, this scamming bastard has been shut down".
Learn from history my man; when pharmesuticals creat cures for major epidemics for which billions of people may die, copyright, patent, governments with guns; none of that shit matters. If 50% of the population of some african country has aids, then how much pressure will be put on the government for a program to cure them, while ignoring the US? How will the US be seen if they put trade sanctions onto said country because of those actions?
Verizon will be telling free internet services to fsck off unless they pay verizon, and verizon will be modernizing the network w/ wiring runs and tearing up water mains in Pensylvania as well? Perfect....
Dinner, a good long talk with me grandma, the customary "slip me some money if ya want" line, ect. The main thing is to learn to fix problems properly. Everyone in my family runs win2k with a firewall, 2 virus scanners and 3 adware scanners, with instructions to remove anything as it identifies, update once a week, scan every few days, ect. They've all got win2k cd's, instructions on how to install it, ect ect ect. I get a question, out of the 10 or so people in my family, about once every 2 weeks. Some are simple; "hey, how do I copy n' paste again?". Others are them reading errors to me over the phone. Written instructions are awesome, and if they lose it, you can scold them.
The worst thing is system builds. God does not like giving me working hardware, stores, shipped, don't matter. Sometimes hardware errors border on bizzare; I had a bios halfway kill the I/O alingment on a harddisk drive, needed a low level format. The thing would boot, it'd work fine, it'd stre and retrieve data, then bsod the box. Then there's a deluge of questions: what's this sound? That the new bigass fan...
And this, my friend, is why people should own guns and the means to defend themselves. Cops don't stop crime; they just ensure the people who perpetrated it are eventually caught. If you can't own and use a gun where you live, get a good kukri and a throwing knife set.
Supposing, of course, they don't pass another DMCA-like bill, making everyone a criminal. It's so convenient when everyone's a criminal, you know, especially when there's all that evidence. Makes it nice n' easy to prosecute anyone they happen to dislike; protestors, gun owners, filesharers, political bloggers....you.
Uhhh, The pentium 1 had 2 fused 486 cores in it. Technically, you can say "well, each pipeline is a new proc". We're sure to see new and interesting techs come out, probably clustering pipelines together or something. Afterall, there's only so many ways you can cut glass.
Sue the sites, not google...oh...wait...those sites probably don't have any money...yea. Can we send some kind of "convincing person" over to where this moron lives to perhaps do some convincing things to this asshole? Such as, oh, cut the power and telephone wires on his house so he can't infect the rest of the world with his stupidity?
Hyperlinking is free speech, preview pics are argueably derivitive works or fair use. If google can index it, guess what, you distributed it to them, and your distributing it to everyone else.
I wouldn't reccomend using the hosts file for that purpose. Windows decides to check each entry to DNS or something, and waiting for every entry to timeout...
Floodlights (eg the ones you put under the eaves of your house, often with motion sensors, to discourage burglars)
And those of us folly enough to take a walk at night. Good grief, I go out at night so people don't have to watch my sorry fat ass walk around in sweats and huff n' puff because I'm out of shape, and as I walk, I go from one house to the next, and lights flicker on one by one. My eyes just finish adjusting to the night, and then I get this 100 billion watt bulb come on and incinerate my cornea. Yea, a freggin light's gonna keep me from lighting your damn house on fire ya schmuck. I'v got a constructive, old fashoned solution; it's called a gun. They're relitivally inexpensive in the U.S. The other old fashoned option, is a barracade.
Well, IMHO, the bible says we were given dominion over all that was on earth. That doesn't mean we should kill animals whenever we want; we are still entirely dependant on the ecosystem for our survival.
The idea of animal rights isn't new. Infact, it's real, real old, just look back at what the american indians did when they slaughtered a bear for meat; they thanked the beast as a sign of respect and didn't waste a single part of it. You never saw an american indian doing cruel shit to an animal, I'v never even heard a story. Animal rights itself has, really, 2 different parts to it. First, balancing the treatment of harvested, farmed, and research animals with our needs, and second, managing their habitat.
The treatment of animals should be unconditionally everything a human is given at birth as a basic human right, with the exception that we need to kill them for food, and with the exception that sometimes it is far to expensive to fix an animals bodies inwhich point they should at least be given the respect of a bullet to the head to put them out of their misery. You'll find that doing things such as putting them in feedlots or treating them badly will ultimatly lead to us getting our butts whupped.
Research and farming ultimatly rewards us as well as the animals; they get a save environment to stay in, they get to mate, and they get free food and water in trade for us slaughtering them at the end or middle of their prime. Research helps us understand diseases in both animals and humans, and will one day lead to cures for both of us. It can't happen without research, and since we're the dominant ones, we sure as hell aren't going to be killing eachother. Is it cruel? Yea, it is, but it's necissary. So long as projects are not overly wasteful, as in, we're going to have a control group of 150 monkies, and another group of 500 monkies we're going to infect with anthrax to see what it does to them, then it's definatly justified.
As far as their habitat goes, heh, I'm not quite sure how that one works out myself. You can't tell people in africa to stop killing elephants to get at their ivory when not doing so will force them to starve. The best that can be done is to save what we can in large forest preserves with legislation and stop urban sprawl from reaching outward and conquering everything that is nature. We can always build down and up you know, event hough it is more expensive.
As for when an animal can have rights to a human level, well, that again has 2 parts; it's got to have the intelligence to understand what those rights are, and the ability to survive independant of our society (weither or not that's in a forest, or in a city). If it has intelligence, we are no longer dominant over this animal or being unless it is dependant on us for it's survival. Evolution will stipulate when an animal will reach, if it will reach, a state of consciousness and awareness a human has, and if one does, I'd highly reccomend giving it rights and letting it participate in our society; it'll both benefit them as well as us.
It sucks valve has required steam and decided to take the validation approach. I, for one, am ignoring this game entirely; the tech is absolutely amazing, but they're asking too high a price. I was going to buy it a few months after it came out (I hate dealing with games and their errors and bugs), but now that they're pulling this I'm not touching it. The real kicker is the manditory use of steam as a lisence enforcement tech. I never liked steam, and probably never will.
Because my friend, the state shouldn't play the parent. If the government won't trust us, what reason do we have to trust them? The Brittish see this as a direct attack on their rights and the instatement of a dictatorship. Mainly, because those in power decided it was a great idea to pull crap like creat big, personalized files and give them out to anyone.
Besides, it isn't what happens if the system is enstated. It's what happens when they begin abusing that system. Imagine what hitler could've done with the knowledge of DNA we have today and his ethnic cleansing?
Information people have on you is power they have over you.
I bet some geeky mexicans are laughing their asses off at home after they broke all those water mains. 200 don't happen out of incompetance, mabye stupidity, but certainly not incompetance; a water main is a quarter or half inch thick steel PVC reinfored with cement if memory of the last installation in my area serves me properly; they don't exactly break with a shovel. One of the larger digging machines might do the trick, but even then, you move slowly if you don't have the plans for where the main is. When you hear the "ding" or the motor going into high gear, you stop. Florida is mostly sand, and there aren't exactly huge boulders buried beneath the earth like in maine.
So, from the slashdot community (or at least, one small nut of it), we thank you, oh nameless, crazy geek mexican for sticking it to verisign, and scaring some hapless soccer mom. As much as people would hate to lose a nice phat 30Mbps pipe, I think they want to see verisign fail even more.
