Sorry to disagree.
While you are somewhat right concerning this story, as for ideas, I agree.
However, if you want to use explicit language, i.e., fuck, use it. If you don't want to, use more elaborate wordings.
There's no reason to hide profanity if you want to use it (personally, I'd object though).
My point is, people are used to get "beeped" if they use profane words. Thus they don't use it in postings which can be read by everyone else, i.e. the public.
So they censor themselves, even before "someone" can judge their words.
I'd just say woosh, but anyway:
I basically grew up with PDP-11 and then VAXen running VMS (thanks to my father).
I think I was first "exposed" to unix roughly 25 years ago, but I still think, the first command I entered AND returned some kind of result was "man this is plain shit"
Definitely
II mean, where would we end up if unix commands actually give a hint what they are doing;-)
As a unix novice, if I wanted to search for something, my first choice of course would be grep
Also if I wanted help on something, the first word that jumps to my mind would be man
I remember very well. Back in the Win 3.x days my boss has brought 99% of infections to the company because he had to stick his floppy into every slot he could find...
'Instead of contracting malaria, an individual receiving the damaged Plasmodium develops an immune response that renders the individual resistant to contracting malaria.
Of course when I'm sitting in the jungle deep in Africa I will know the mosquito "biting" me right now is the good guy... probably because it has a flashlight attached or so.
I only need two keystrokes to hack a Mac when I have access to its keyboard:
Cmd - "s"
Voila, root access.
documented here:p Start into single user mode
Dream on. As long as they are making good money from their hardware they would be stupid to do otherwise. Not saying anything specific about Apple, just about companies in general.
You may not know this but there was once a "game" where you had to "pleasure" a girl... running on a 512k Mac. I'm sure I have the floppy disk somewhere in my attic, I just don't know where to find a floppy drive. heh.

Face it. censorship works. Just see comments above.
Ever noticed how many people obfuscate the words *fuck* and *shit* even here on slashdot?
Censorship is in your heads already.
Wrong on both accounts.
There are actually twice as many even numbers than odd ones.
Proof:
Assume any even number "n", so
n * n = [even]
n * (n-1) = [even]
n * (n-2) = [even]
Now take any odd number "m":
m * m = [odd]
m * (m-1) = [even]
m * (m-2) = [odd]
So out of any two odd/even numbers you can generate twice as many even numbers compared to odd numbers.
q.e.d.
(and yes, for the non-maths out there, it is a joke)
Only in theory. In real life you would be slapped if you count to "4" (dec)

I'm impressed, didn't think anyone would remember that song... :)
Thanks for bringing up great memories
The best comment I ever read about this issue.
;-)
Sorry, no mod points
I remember very well.
Back in the Win 3.x days my boss has brought 99% of infections to the company because he had to stick his floppy into every slot he could find...
So, what you are saying is, I could use a 64bit int, fill it up with "1"s and I would know I have stored exactly 32 "3"s...
;-)
Sorry, couldn't resist
Can't wait to see a mosquito crashing with a blue screen ;)

Best idea ever. heh.
If they agree to pay 50 million *voluntarily* I would assume they already made ten times the amount with their illegal actions
heh, thanks for proving my signature.
Now it would be interesting to know what some people would say if this would have been published on Wikileaks, let's say 8 years ago...
more like an unary filter: once you turn the filter on (the TV off) you miss all of the 11 ;)
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. heh.
Actually it was Norton Commander to make Win 3.x work like a charm... ;-)

Oh, you can write FORTRAN style in C++ too. Just pass all arguments by reference and make sure to cast everything with (char*)
heh.
U.S. of A. the Land Of The Free. Sorry, just couldn't resist.

So, Apple is changing from a hardware company to a media company. Who would have guessed that after iTunes, iPods and iPhone (iPad next?) Seriously.
