It sounds like you don't have any real ideas, so don't start your own business.
If you want to join a startup, there are certain recruiting firms that specialize in startups. Every recruiter who contacts you, tell them you are looking to join an early stage startup. It also helps to go to meetups and such.
Finally, if you don't have "full stack" ability, then it's going to be a lot harder for you. Maybe build up your skills a bit.
He also co-founded the OSI, and wrote quite a bit of technical documentation for Linux (HOWTOs). If we disparage technical writers, then we won't have technical documentation. It takes all sorts and he does a good job of it.
Did I break in when I performed the equivalent of asking your PC to let me connect to it? No falsified credentials, no lock picking, just a nice and pleasant "excuse me Mr PC, may I view your c-drive please?"
Yes.
Likewise, if I change a query string variable, and suddenly I can see my neighbor's account information, I have no way of knowing whether or not AT&T meant for me to be able to view that, or whether their "Crazy Ex" is in the building granting access to things that others should not see.
It doesn't matter. What matters is what the jury will think of your intentions.
Now can you tell us where is this line in the digital world? Is it you IP address ? Or maybe it's you router ? Or your web server's TCP port number ?
If you access any of those with the intent to hack, then you might go to jail for it. People have gone to jail for going to a URL with their browser.
See, the door analogy isn't that obvious in the digital world.
I'll clarify it for you: break into someone's house, go to jail. Break into someone's computer system, go to jail. That is the analogy. It's not perfect, but the point is correct: "poor security" isn't a defense in a court of law.
I cut those old system designers a break. Security wasn't well understood in those days. Remember most Unix systems were still using telnet and rlogin. We were all a little lousy at security.
It exists because in Java, it's easy to work with a team of less-competent enterprise programmers on a multi-year project where new people are coming and going, without your codebase turning into an unworkable pile of garbage. That is the main advantage of Java. It is the COBOL of the modern age, and C# is its twin brother.
Of course, you can work with a project like that in C (for example), and I've seen it done, but you need to have strong leadership architecting the code and making sure things stay clean. Whereas in Java, you can get by with a mediocre architect and weak oversight and still come out alright (but the C project in that situation will be an unworkable mess. That goes for Python too, and Ruby apparently, if we can judge from Twitter's failure).
Sadly, as the song goes, "first they came for the murders, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't a murderer...",
Um, no actually, I actively cheer them on for catching murderers because I strongly believe murderers shouldn't be allowed free in society. I don't know what weird ideology you have that believes otherwise.
So if we prove gun makers true intentions they get to go to prison for murder?
Probably as an 'accessory to a crime' or 'aiding and abetting.' The legal system has been able to deal with this problem for a long time. If the bullet manufacturers intentions can be proven, they will likely go to jail, too.
The difference here is that the government doesn't even claim he hacked anyone. Usually when someone is arrested for murder says, "I didn't murder someone" the government is asserting that they did.
The conservatives know demographics are running against them,
Depends on how you slice it. Lots of Latinos are moving in, and they tend to be more conservative, to the point that some Latin American countries even ban abortion. They tend to be much more religious and socially conservative in general.
That is bullshit. Nearly 3 in 10 of all cloture motions filed in the history of the Senate were filed during McConnell’s tenure as Minority Leader.
I'm really having trouble understanding your point here.......is there some kind of correlation between cloture motions and Hitler? How do you jump from 'filed a lot of cloture motions' to 'wants authoritarian control by 1% of the entire planet' Seem like your missing a few screws in your logic steps, there.

probably using Ruby on Rails and NoSQL or whatever is the buzzword of the day.
Yeah actually I think you're three layers behind in your buzzwords. RoR is solid now, but it hasn't been hot since ~2006
Those are traits of people, not of hackers specifically.

The person who did this deserves to be fully prosecuted.
It's most likely the person who did this will never be caught.
Dogs can jump over picket fences.
If no one knows what to do when they hear the siren, then there's really not much point in having the siren in the first place.

"We had people asking if we were being attacked because of what's going on overseas."
So they called 911. When terrorism strikes, call 911 for all your news info! (Not really, that's a bad idea).
And why not? Since you're probably not using your landline for much these days. Might as well throw a BBS on it.
I'd love to see the evidence for your 'fact'

Nice reading the indictment document. I'm impressed.

He even marketed his sofware to them directly, knowing for what purpose they intended to use it.
That's the central question, right? If the government can prove he knew, then he'll go to jail. If they can't, he'll probably go free.
You win the partisan blindness award of the day, good job.
He apparently added DRM to the software, and if anyone bragged about using it for hacking, he disabled their license. So.......
Why did people pay for RAT instead of just using VNC?
So if we prove gun makers true intentions they get to go to prison for murder?
Probably as an 'accessory to a crime' or 'aiding and abetting.' The legal system has been able to deal with this problem for a long time. If the bullet manufacturers intentions can be proven, they will likely go to jail, too.
Of course that's an unlikely scenario.

That's why Google is struggling. The balls-to-the-wall, 80-hour a week culture means that only the Red Bull crowd will thrive in such organization.
I don't think that's how Google works. It's how Apple worked. I think of Google as the place to go if you don't want to work hard.
