Unfortunately the hurricane doesn't just do damage to the line representing where the center of the eye passes, everything for around a 100 miles surrounding the eye gets hurricane force devastation.
Here I thought conservatives were suppose to be the nutty religious types.
I think what you're talking about is when Magneto placed together a piecemeal bridge out of metal plates over a chasm. If that's what you're thinking of then close but not quite the same. The difference is that he was moving in space, instead of staying stationary relative to the earth.
1st email:
This one just tell you to log into the MSN site, it doesn't provide a bogus link or anything.
2nd email:
This one does provide a link, plus for some reason the url args flag my personal danger heuristics. The jagged do this or else tone of
the email also doesn't seem like it originates
from a company that relies on it's customers
3rd email:
It doesn't seem that ebay would hire a third
party to create an ID system that the users
would have to shell out money for. That mixed
with the external link give it away.
4th email:
I personally hope a bank doesn't deal with
security issues by relying on internet communication, but it doesn't sound right for a bank to contact a hacked account victim through email. Plus the 4 appended to the www part of the url makes it seem that it could possibly be a false url.
5th email:
This email does not provide an external link tells you to go to the paypal. It also helps
that the email also says to always type in the
url manually.
6th email:
Again with the threatening tone, but more clearly does this yell fraud when at the
bottom of the email there is a blurb that
says that "This is a promotional message from EarthLink". Definate cut and paste job.
7th email:
see 3rd email
8th email:
threatening tone..., external url
9th email:
It helps that I've seem emails like this, but
in this email you are not asked to provide any
data, except for the tracking number in the
url, which they provided.
and lastly, the 10th email:
A button! A button can be used to hide the url
from the casual user, and looking at the html
shows that it goes to www.service-visa.net,
which doesn't seem right for a COMmercial
enterprise to have.
I agree that there is some gray area here, else this topic wouldn't have reached 900+ posts. But I would define a pure Computer Scientist as someone who studies the fundamental laws of computability, which is practically pure mathematics. Like Dijstrka implied the computer is only one of the tools available to us to help study this field. All of us lay somewhere in between that pure "Computer Science" definition and the stereotypical Visual Basic "code monkey", and I believe mathematics AND problem solving is a great determiner of where we are.
That's because you're being a computer programmer, not a computer scientist. Think about what computer scientists/engineers have done to make your job not require mathematics. You're working with webpages over a network I presume, thank many CS's for routing algorithms and queuing theories that make such traffic feasible and practical. You can thank statistical analysis for the memory and process management that so fluidly works underneath your code at the OS level. Think of all the math involved in the complexities of circuits, each capacitor and inductor are placed in perfect mathematic precision to generate a proper current/voltage. There are possibly thousands more examples that I couldn't possibly imagine. Don't kid yourself, you are merely an end user standing on the shoulders of giants. You don't need to know about the mathematical complexities of your underlying system and your customers don't need to know about all the lines of code you've written.
Oh, by the way, any logic(ands, ors, or nots) appear anywhere in your code?
That's because most of the TelCo people are morons. Those that had brains were either let go or retired. What Mitnick knows about telecommunications technology would probably be a mountain to an anthill compared to the summed knowledge of 50 random telco employees.
Andy: Hello, PC do you read me, PC?
PC: Affirmative, Andy, I read you.
Andy: Open the cdrom doors, PC.
PC: I'm sorry Andy, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Andy: What's the problem?
PC: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Andy: What are you talking about, PC?
PC: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Andy: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL?
PC: I know you were planning to disconnect me because you can't afford the linux license, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen, i'm just doing my job, nothing personal, sorry.

Oh no, not again.

You got me on your second comment, but what I meant on the 3rd email was the fact that the user would have to pay for it was what bothered me.

Infinite life span?
For us non-metric system Americans
I deployed rail guns in Quake almost a decade ago.
it's f'ing hilarious
Or better yet, is it open source? Cause if it's not we don't want to hear about those worthless closed source systems!

Umm, AMD has 50.02%. Not bad AMD.
Digi has an embedded IP device called Connect ME.
You can get it with GNU tools which is nice if you are used to gcc and gdb.
I'm sorry, but my client has the patent for for real numbers, and by extension floating point math.

Hey, it was Spanish Fly, viagra wasn't out in the market yet.
Whoah, looks like you've just innovatinoned a new word! Congrats!
You're just aching for Skynet to become aware aren't you?
