The spammers wouldn't have gotten his address from the image if you hadn't posted it in plain text.
I post my emails milsorgen@gmail.com and mils_orgen@hotmail.com in plain text all the time, really the consequences of such actions are minimal enough to warrant not caring about someone scraping slashdot posts. Shit I sign up for enough marketing material willingly enough as is I doubt any real spam would even register at this point aside from producing an occasional fun diversion.
You think I'm not aware of what is accessible by the information I provided?
Everything you will find I am well aware of and accept that for if I did have a problem with that I wouldn't post said information unto the tubes to begin with.
It's one of those days when you wish the headlines were literal in meaning. I mean, surely the FTC could pull some strings and a few cluster bombs could go "missing" en route to Iraq...
You know that's not such a bad idea as I actually worked for an telemarketing outfit that operated outside FTC regulations. I only lasted a few weeks but eventually I was put in charge web based control of the auto-dialer.
It started with 'debt consolidation' but during my few weeks there it shifted into Auto Warranties and DirectTV as well.
During orientation we were told how they reset the internal do not call list every few weeks, and they justified it by stating by then they might need whatever shady wares were being pedaled.
Either way there were very savy about what they were up to, they were aware of every rule and regulation and loophole as well as the effort required to track down responsible parties. Calling cell phones, people on the DNC list, people in states where you weren't legally allowed to make automated calls too.
The web based cpanel for the autodialer was out of new zealand (where the actual lines making the calls were, I'll never know), the actual companies responsible for implementation for whatever was sold never had much more than a TX phone number most of the time and here we were in Idaho. The best part is the place is right down the street from where I live now, debated on contacting the state AG but this was two years ago by now they're probably selling star names or some other inane shit by now.
There was no need to retrieve over 100,000 addresses before notifying AT&T nor was there any need to share the gaping security hole with others as was also done.
I think the word Cults is misleading, it really boils down to an investment of time, peoples reluctance to change and our ability to relish the good and overlook the bad.
Video on the web is a destination unto itself. It's removal would not affect your experience 90% of the time. Therefore lack of Apple support would seem to be a rather ridiculous consideration after the way they have handled Flash and the world continues to spin...
Record anyways. Even if it gets to the point where video evidence a flagrant abuse of power becomes inadmissible, it's potential value in stirring public outcry far outstrips any consequences associated with the establishment seeking to restrict the publics use of video recording and their public servants.
Security is NOT about patching holes, a system must be designed from the ground up to be secure.
Doze and it's predecessors were NEVER designed this way.
Mind you, it's created one hell of an industry patching holes.
Coming from the guy with years of programming experience in the industry and is obviously an expert on Windows' inner workings as well as methodology practiced internally at Microsoft.
The more interesting question isn't whether caffeine gets one to above normal levels of energy but whether it can enable a user to remain at baseline for longer periods of time compared to someone not on caffeine.
I would say the more interesting question would be, what if any are the tasks or activities that could benefit as the result of caffeine use.
I wrote a market app component for your PC that works on any web browser. Simply enter the text string "download.com" (minus quotes) into the address entry area of your favorite web browser and it will load a fully featured marketplace of a variety of software products, complete with a fully featured editor and community review system.
The best part? Works on any software environment with web access and the ability to process HTML!
Any web technology is inherently obsolete the moment the 'general public' is aware. From <blink> to DHTML to AJAX by the time a book can be published it's use is already used for hackneyed me too design.
I get the most benefit out of Joomla because of it's framework of opensource components, rapid deployment of the design of the site and the ability to insert my code where needed.
Granted the initial steps to becoming familiar with framework are not as easy as it could be but often times it comes down to actually reading the materials provided by the community.
As for using community produced work aside from documentation, I would be hesitant. However anything you need can easily be written from scratch quite easily.
Plus converting a customers HTML site to a Joomla site is a raging pain in the butt.
Depends. A lot of customers these days specifically want their site too look like the status quo in any given field. And a lot of the generic templates you often see used in first time business sites often do lend themselves to a quick conversion in Joomla. Disable some components, maybe write a few simple custom ones as need dictates and you can crank out an imitation of a lot of the generic templates pretty quickly. Then from their you can ramp functionality and style according to project needs.
Considering 1.x is still around and people are active with it, I wouldn't worry about 1.5 becoming obsolete. It's my understanding that 1.6 was aimed at enterprise situations anyways.

Glad that got linked, UEFI is really more an extension of the BIOS. So saying it "will be dead in three years" is somewhat misleading.
You confuse naivete with my desire to be near the top of the thread.
It's as if North Korea is deliberately trying not to be credible anymore. Why doesn't this embarass China?
Speaking of credibility, let us not forget that China is the country that brought us the Chintendo Vii.

No one argues they are fool proof the point is merely that Microsoft ships a more secure product than most of it's competitors.

And someone can attack your site easier because it's obvious what you use.
Custom code makes it harder, they cant use canned scripts to take advantage of published flaws.
This is one of the problems I have with PhPNuke, Joomla and the likes... they are high profile targets.
Well when you have clients and deadlines you tell me how well all that custom code is doing for you!
If you waited to buy your books based upon impending releases, you'd never end up buying any books at all.
