I dont know a whole lot about cyrpto, but if its a big deal if a binary got leaked, perhaps the software isn't that secure to begin with. We all know security through obscurity doesn't work.
Yeah thats the stand that law enforcement takes, and look how well that is working.
Lets compare alchohol and weed here for a moment.
Drink to much alchohol... Die Smoke to much weed....... Fall Asleep
Alchohol is much more inhibiting than weed(at any level), so the argument cant be made on those grounds alone to ban weed.
Why not legalize and control weed? You could tax the fuck out of it and people would still buy it. There would be less fights/murder becuase people wouldn't have to go through such shady sources to purchase weed. Since people who distrubute weed(to everyone regardless of age) would be put out of buisness, less children would have access to it.
The ban on weed is very simaler in my mind to prohabition. I dont smoke, I never have, weed or anything else. I think its absurd how much money we are spending on law enforcement of a substense that is less harmfull then alchohol and that we could be profitting off of.

Yes actually he is a very good professor, the reason everyone missed it is becuase we were all focused on the same thing. If he had said just watch this however you want, we would have picked it up right away.
why look at each others code? why not just work on different sections, and then review when those functions are done? Who cares how your partner did it as long as it works? You might as well write it yourself then. Bugs can be worked out by both people, but it is not required that each partner should know every detail of the whole project though.
You are wrong, sorry. Programming in pairs is fundamentally better then programming alone. My computer science teacher once showed our class a movie clip of a basketball team practicing, he told us to count the number of times they dribbled the ball. We all did our best to count. When the movie was done he asked us if we noticed anything odd. We all said no. He played back the tape, turned out a big fuzzy bear maskot walked through the court. None of us noticed becuase we were all so focused on the counting. The partner catches the bear becuase when you work with partners you dont work on the exact same block of code. If you have a good partner you can accomplish some amazing coding.
I dont know about that whole learn through pair programming thing though. Sounds sketchy to me.
lmao, I live on a pretty decent size lake(40*20miles) and I completely agree with you. I dont mind jet skis.... when they are not doing circles infront of my dock. Jet skiers need to go out farther into the lake. I have always wanted to set up a paino wire at head level for jet skiers 50 feet off my dock.
people dont file share anymore.. for the most part they just leach. Thats why if I use networks like direct connect that force people to share. People still try and get around that though.. its kinda sad.
right.. there are alot of issues.. but I only have a handfull that I would care enough to vote on so it really wouldn't be that hard.

Part of the orginal justification of representitive democracy was that it was logisticly impossible to have everyone vote on every topic. But now that electronic voting is an option why do we still need representatives?

lol mod parent up, that is funny as hell
I dont know a whole lot about cyrpto, but if its a big deal if a binary got leaked, perhaps the software isn't that secure to begin with. We all know security through obscurity doesn't work.
lol I wish I had mod points, mod as funny
Can someone please explain to me how this is an issue?
people are going to sell weed regardless of law
a) drug dealers sellig to anyone(regardless of age)
b) licensed professionals selling to people of over 21(and making a shit ton of money from it)
which option would you prefer? I would choose b
Yeah thats the stand that law enforcement takes, and look how well that is working.

just go with redhat then, performance sucks, but it works well and is easy to use
oh the good quotes from the story

well when I said a good partner I didn't mean a guru, I meant someone thats good to work with and that I communicate well with.

ive done alot of programming in pairs, and rotating sucks! When I find a good partner I wont switch.

try using VIA
webmin is great, if speed is not an issue
a) bring up page, log in, wait to load, do your stuff, logout
b) login, type command, log out
b is --a lot-- faster

mod this person up, I was wondering how long it would take for someone to point this out
like nike really gives a crap... boycott is a thing of the past

*raises hand*
The difference is that Microsofts patches take forever to come out and introduce more holes than anything else.
In linux patches come out the same day... and are well documented.

I read that burning cd's while wearing a tinfoil hat decreases chances of errors.....
I agree. People have hard enough time trying out linux as it is, then throw in some legal issues and people will run from linux like the plague.
