This sort of thing is why I never use the word Liberal. Every person who uses it (and every person who hears it) has a different meaning for the word. Other words that are completely ambiguous:
Socialism
Capitalism
Fascism
RINO
Use something that is more descriptive than those words.
Fucking shit. This bullshit will amount to a pile of piss.
If there's one thing Americans won't stand for, it's someone telling them to shut up.
Incidentally, I find it ironic that a decade ago people were complaining about "free speech zones," and now they want even more limitations on speech. What's wrong with these people.
My understanding is that this is how FedEx drivers work. They're all independent contractors with FedEx. They wear FedEx clothes, work a dictated schedule, etc., etc.
I've looked through the UPS job listings before, and my understanding is: the long-haul UPS drivers are contracted, but the local UPS drivers are employees. I suspect the same is true of FedEx.
In the latest Chikdos campaign that we observed, the attackers likely used an automated scanner or possibly a worm to compromise MySQL servers and install the UDF. However the exact infection vector has not been identified
Chikdos isn't an exploit, it's a tool that uses MySQL user-defined-functions to attack another server. Symantec picked up on the attacks using their telemetry.
This particular story isn't something to teach you how to be a better server admin (although it can, if you follow the advice in the article). It's a report about various things that are passing through cyberspace, and where they come from. If you're interested in that sort of thing, then you'll be interested in this article.
Which also doesn't make much sense, since there's not much advantage and a lot of disadvantage to 64-bit ISA.
The primary advantage for consumer devices is that you can access more RAM.
The x86-64 ISA adds extra registers and other instructions which would be useful to 16-bit processors
That's true, they should have been added years ago.
but it also makes word-sized values 64-bits wide by default.
Kind of......for a lot of instructions, the default is actually 16 bits. For a mov command, the default is to move 64bits, but you can also specify 8/16/32 bits. I'm not sure it matters too much practically what the 'default' is, though.
The x86-64 is indeed a hybrid monstrosity, whose only redeeming feature is backwards compatibility.
You have land? Do you have to commute out to the countryside to work on it? Or do Rekjavyk houses have enough space around them for gardening and such?
Normally purchasers of goods and services are in aggregate considered infallible
Economists haven't considered them infallible for decades, if not centuries. A rational consumer is the economics equivalent of a frictionless surface. Doesn't exist, but makes calculations easier.
! A flyback transformer and graphite mechanical pencil leads would have been much more appropriate tool for the hardened steel used in prison bars. They give the fuckers 120 VAC and water, it doesn't take a physicist or chemist to turn that in to an escape plan in an oxygen rich environment...
It takes more expertise than this slashdot poster has. What can you do with those materials to get through steel bars?
China - wheat/rice/millet flour (how do you think they make steamed buns?)
Japan - rice flour (mochi, yummmm)
Ancient (and much of modern) Americas - corn flour
India - Wheat flour (for naan, roti)
Europe/America - Wheat flour
Seriously, if you're anti-grain, you're probably following a fad diet.
Software that people are paid to written more often includes the boring, not-fun parts like testing, documentation, and auditing.
Citation needed.
In my experience, closed source projects are lower quality, and I've never worked on a closed-source project that was audited by a third party (I'm sure it happens sometimes, but it happens a lot with open source). With closed source software, at best an acquiring company will send a manager to skim through the code to determine if it is worth acquiring. Even in those cases, the manager typically doesn't check out the project and build it himself, he just looks over it, sometimes guided by the author of the code.
Open source code usually has higher quality, because the people writing it actually care. People at work are there to get paid.
There's also a matter of time and place. Starting to insult a complete stranger after he crushed you, flooding the chat with stupid binds, calling cheat and starting a voteban, isn't "friendly banter". You're just an annoying sore loser brat.
A lot of those people actually are brats. Many of the players (if not most) are teenagers. I know kids who game online who aren't old enough to read the insults you throw at them.
These are people who are still learning to grow up in the world, what is appropriate or what is not. All of us went through that stage. Don't take game insults too seriously.

Nice. Is that a common thing for Icelanders to do? (Sorry if I'm asking too many questions).
If you consider parameterized query APIs to not be inline SQL, then you are right.

That's one of the most controversial arguments around. The reason it's controversial is simple, all the options suck.
ORMs suck in some situations.
Stored procedures suck in some situations.
Inline SQL suck situations.
There's no really good, flexible way to access a database that works for all use cases.

btw, San Francisco is doing the same thing. Which would be great if the city were small enough to actually walk anywhere.......

It's clearly abusive yet not illegal, therefore you must take it?
No, you don't have to use the website. I think that's fairly obvious.
Sure, try arguing that in court lol.
What exactly do you think it means when you clicked the button that says, "I Agree?"

Don't be a fucktard. YOU haven't even read half the EULAs you've agreed to.
And yet you still agreed to it, so it does limit your legal rights, and can be held up in court.
You can find a plain english version of terms on this website. More people should know about that website.
Maybe that's true at your wife's prison. My source is a few different prison guards, so anecdotes vs anecdotes.
If you can surround it with blankets well enough, then you'll be ok.
Guards don't like to look in jail cells at night if they can avoid it.

in what the officials said was the first attempt in the state to smuggle material into a prison with an unmanned aerial vehicle.
I seriously doubt it was the first.
Lumping plain vegetable oil and hydrogenated vegetable oil together as "unnatural" is completely nonsensical.
As is judging food quality based on whether it is natural or not.
Americans eat meat and potatoes.
China - wheat/rice/millet flour (how do you think they make steamed buns?)
Japan - rice flour (mochi, yummmm)
Ancient (and much of modern) Americas - corn flour
India - Wheat flour (for naan, roti)
Europe/America - Wheat flour

Flour is part of pretty near every civilization in the world.
Oh. I guess I think of "32" or "16" bit in terms of the ISA, not so much the other stuff.
