wow, it sounds like you actually know this stuff. Most of these comments are generalized and i have the feeling they are just regurgitated from elsewhere.. i doubt many people have looked into it like you have.
I've personally never met anyone who writes ruby or python. I'm a php guy and so is one of my friends. I've met other php people at a hackerspace and one perl guy. I was very excited to meet someone who wrote perl for a living.. at an actual company.. that pays money.. absolutely amazing : )
Most people cringe when they hear php and python is some sort of snake. My guess is ruby is still fairly unknown to most people out there. My experiences around academics is they use ASP.NET and that's it. Those other silly languages are for kids. I try not to even argue with them.. waste of time, haha.
But dumping the code and announcing "come look at the code and help us fix it" _IS_ the best way to get their expert. No program is totally secure, even with an expert on it. These guys aren't close to being finished yet, what's the big deal?
I'm not at home to check, but that sounds right. You might have to have the purchased copy of Sandboxie though, i'm not sure. But like you, i don't enjoy moving things out of the sandbox constantly. Thankfully FF addons update within the sandbox just fine.. though they will have to always update if the sandbox is destroyed on browser closing.
At worst, an infection can write to your downloads directory. Which doesn't seem to be a useful target.
I've gone a bit crazy with sandboxing though. VLC, utorrent, and anything that interacts with outside files. I really like the forced programs option.. so even if your browser is launched from a 3rd party program, it'll be boxed.
I use Firefox and Sandboxie. I also use noscript and betterprivacy plugins with FF. In my trusted sandbox, FF can direct write to the downloads directory and that's it. In the untrusted one it can't directly write to anything and the whole sandbox is deleted every day.
The only pain with this setup is i need to disable the secure sandbox to upgrade FF, since it can't actually modify system files. Thankfully it's only two clicks away from the sandboxie tasktray thing. I'm pretty sure you can allow FF to upgrade itself within the sandbox, but i'm not comfortable with that.
I agree with you but EVE-Online is still a tiny MMO and going for 6 years (i think?). The game is brutal but people who enjoy it really do become fanatical about it. The key to their success, imo, is they work within their budget and continually upgrade the game (for free). Soon we will see the first spin-off with Dust 514 that will create a console FPS being fed in-game money, weapons, and targets from the original mmo. They will be linked in a meaningful way. Though i'm mostly waiting for ambulation.. CCP! i need to see my legs! am i wearing pants atleast?
Those quotes confused me. I was looking at the fort knox one.. Fort Knox wasn't even built until 1936. There was a Camp Knox that existed near where the gold vault would be built though. Ditto for weapons of mass destruction in 1918. BUT THEN! I realized that the date wasn't the date he said the quote, it was the year the man was born. Misled me.
Anyways, i disagree with your statement that Engineers are Terrorists because they are educated. That should mean that other higher educated people should equally be terrorists. Engineering is however an applied science with would explain why more engineers are terrorists than say mathematicians. However wouldn't the same be for chemists? I would argue that a chemist could build a better bomb than an engineer. Who do you think could mix a better plastic explosive in their shed, an engineer or chemist?
There must be another reason why engineers are over represented.
I saw someone else say the same thing earlier. Why do they taste so different? Obviously my tongue is not a highly calibrated scientific device (yet) but if i can detect a measureable difference, there must be one.
Employees who had no culpability in the crime should not be punished one bit. Exactly. But i should ask, if there is an office of four who work closely together and two of the four are engaged in illegal activities. The other two know but don't want to cause trouble, or be fired, they just want to do their job and get paid. Should all four be punished? With the punishment weighted to those with the most responsibility and to those who reaped the most benefit from the criminal act?
If a workers job is functionally divided or seperate from those responsible, it's highly unlikely they knew about it. But the punishment should travel upwards, not downwards or laterally. Anyone who should have had oversight of the criminal acts is just as guilty.
I do like your idea about owners being safe though. Perhaps thats the solution for fines. All fines a company recieves are directly payable by the owners and the crime commited placed on their permanent record. There would have to be some sort of metric for what makes an owner a criminal though. A shareholder with 0.0001% of a company obviously shouldn't be branded that way. But they will still have to pay 0.0001% of the fine : )
I think we are reading the same book, just not on the same page yet. I like what you said here: The corporation was created as a mechanism to distribute risk. Perhaps the punishments and fines should be distributed along with the risk?
The difference in this case is you are voluntarily working for a company. If one of your employees is not following a safety protocol and you know about it, you share the responsibility of deaths or accidents that could happen.
The point of my idea is to keep everyone from putting blinders on and being oblivious to illegal activities going on around them. You wouldn't want to work for a "dirty company" if my idea was in effect, right?
The problem you probably ran into during primary school was when the teach asked who was talking, nobody pointed out the culprit. But mass punishment is retarded. Please see that my idea is not mass punishment but targetted punishment.
If the people in charge want to pay themselves less than all the other employees.. that's up to them. If the highest paid person wants to be homeless, that's also up to them (not a crime). But if they are "in-charge" but not by title. The person in-charge by title can tell the "in-charge" people to go fuck themselves : )
I think the individuals in the corp should go to jail for an aggregate total of punished time. But the division of how long each person stays in jail is based upon pay, benefits, bonus, and responsibility.
So if someone in the next fuctional area got someone killed, i wouldn't have to be in jail with them. But if i was in their department, my jailtime would be based on my position within that department. The department head would carry the brunt of the punishment, or the CEO/directors if it was policy being implimented by the dept.
I don't think this system would work with fines or death penalties though.
What you described is telling me that the iOS won't support anything unique or improved from what already is supported. Which i know is probably not correct.
The difference between the two is $360 a year. When my power bill goes up $20, i don't think "meh, it's close to what it was". I think "shit, i'm losing hundreds more a year.. what's causing it?"
I know what you're saying, there will always be gotcha's. Should point out though, noscript would stop both of those links. You would have to "allow" the site before the flash or js would run.
Let's hope that these civilian technologies continue to be easy to use and widely available for anyone interested.
It sounds like you want to buy "THE BEST PHONE EVER" and you want it to stay the best for a while. If a better phone comes out, does yours suddenly not make calls very well anymore? Is the camera degraded? The only thing that changes is your perception that you own the best phone ever. The market appears fragmented to you because you can no longer determine what the BEST PHONE is.
How about you decide what you want to do and pick a phone that can do it? If you aren't sure what you want to do with a phone, ask other people what they do with theirs or just pick a phone at random.
People can just google "best linux to start with?" and you will find many many articles explaining where to start. People google for everything, why would linux be the exception?
haha, thanks for that. This sounds more like a problem for people who can't decide things though. Just pick one and try it.
When you go to a car lot, you don't want just two choices, you want too many. Then you point to the one that you like and test drive it. Then they salesmen says, would you like satellite radio with that? Sure, why not!
But not being tracked via browser is easy, if you care to prevent it. Cable TV is such a failure in my mind. Once you stop watching it you can't go back.. so many ads that it's just like you said, Abuse.

He's talking about movie theaters i think. 10$ to see a movie one time, or 6$ to own the movie and watch it many times.
That's what my imagination is saying anyways : )
I use Firefox and Sandboxie. I also use noscript and betterprivacy plugins with FF. In my trusted sandbox, FF can direct write to the downloads directory and that's it. In the untrusted one it can't directly write to anything and the whole sandbox is deleted every day.

I hope your XP machines have been updated since 2001.
That might be it too.. everyone wants success like WoW and anything less is failure. But i'd take EVE over WoW : )

Dust 514 trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYkuZLxAWBo
The trailer is dated, i doubt the game will look very similar.
I giggle. Go and pet the Nazi's, see how that works out.
