Laughing out... laughing out... laughing out... laughing out loud.
Kind of like, driving me... driving me... driving me... driving me crazy. So CRAY-ZAY, yeah yeah baby. (Neer neer neer, woka neer neer, woka woka...)
No?
ROFLOFLOFLOFL! Well, there's also the explanation that people have used "hahahaha" which works as onomatopoeia of what laughter sounds like and can be expanded by adding on more "ha"s at the end to approximate the length for which one laughs. Then they learn the phrase "lol" and mistakenly apply the same principle to an acronym which is not intended as onomatopoeia. Or something. TL;DR;DR;DR;DR?
Now suddenly it's changed it's name. It makes it appear that I chose an unreliable fly-by-night supplier. Businesses want stability not risk.
Yeah, that's like the time I recommended we upload our company's videos to this startup YouTube, which was then acquired by some fly-by-night called Google. Boy, was there egg on my face! I'm just lucky that I didn't recommend OpenOffice.org at the same time, seeing that it's now backed by that fly-by-night Oracle.
Should the Australian government lift a finger to protect children from the evils that lurk online? No, let parents sort it out. Should it lift a finger to protect businesses? No, let the free market sort it out.
If the government is going to do anything, its focus should be on protecting the infrastructure as a whole, not individual businesses.
You have to use twitter and be the type of person who clicks on questionable links without regard. This worm sounds like watching Darwinism in action in the digital age.
Clicking the link is not necessary for this attack to work. All that's needed is visiting a compromised webpage. If a prominent website were hacked, every Twitter user who was logged in and visited that site would have been affected. Twitter's heavy reliance on stupid shortened "surprise links" (and the gullibility of those who click on them) doesn't help things, of course. But this attack would not have succeeded had Twitter followed basic web security practices.
Ouch. I posted the one line because I felt it added value, namely the actual method used that the summary neglected to include. I read 5 different articles covering the story and chose the most detailed one to slap up here - which points really to the scarcity of technical detail if nothing else. I'm sorry you don't like the contribution but claiming it adds no value is going a step too far.
It would have been great had you included something along those lines. I tend to actually RTFA, so just slapping up a single line with no context around why you're quoting it doesn't add value for me. I know, it's not all about me but I can only speak for myself when sharing my opinion.
Next time, could you just post the entire article so that we don't have to read multiple posts by people who choose to quote only one line at a time while adding no additional value?
I have enough in my account that my credit union give me good service, yet I don't have an accountant. Maybe it's because I saved my money instead of racking up credit card debt, car loans, and interest only mortgages on overpriced houses?
Or maybe because you file your own tax returns instead of letting an accountant do it for you, allowing you to do something more enjoyable like go skiing. I'm probably feeding the trolls here, but an accountant does more than just manage the finances of people who have bought too much on credit.
And while I was staying in that hotel, the hotel manager decided to wage war with another hotel for no justifiable reason. Now I'm on the hook for the cost of this war, which definitely wasn't in the hotel brochure. (I'm playing devil's advocate here... your point is quite valid.)
Who the hell uses Fahrenheit for anything remotely connected to science? I can understand translating 0K to -273.15C, then 1K is -272.15C -- but how meaningful to anyone is -459.67F?
I think the intended audience for this article is Farmer Bill in Idaho. "Uh-huh, feels like a nippy -459.67F... guess I'd best cover up them there puhtaters."
A fun trashy book. But the character was not actually called Hiro Protagonist. That was his nick name.
As it's been more than a decade since I read it, I'll take your word on that one especially since I have zero interest in spending energy to find out what his actual name was.
You could wire it up to go off if your heart stops and drive around on a motorcycle with it in the sidecar. Just watch out for some pizza delivery dude named Hiro Protagonist.
Man, what a trashy book that was. Fun read, but trashy. It would have redeemed itself a little had he put in a modicum of effort in choosing a name for the protagonist. I'm surprised the bad guy wasn't called "Villin Antagonist".

You're out of date. Not my problem.
I see, you're fashionably incorrect. Carry on then.

Do you ignore the intended meaning and expand other common expressions, like RADAR, too?
No, just the stupid ones that people use incorrectly.
(Do you even understand what's being discussed?)
Aw, shucks Mister... golly gee, that's not very swell of you to say that.

Clearly, someone thought it had value. It got modded to (Score:3, Interesting).
There's a ringing endorsement if I've ever seen one.

This post explains it quite well: http://www.andrewnacin.com/2010/09/26/csrf-twitter/
Essentially, just create one or more iframes, with the iframe source set to http://twitter.com/share/update?status=WTF+PAYLOAD
As long as you're logged into Twitter via the web, it will auto-post that update without any request for permission from you.

Wrong. Laser beams are very cold. The photons are highly ordered and there is very little random motion among them.
Wrong? It's not true that the general Bond-watching audience thinks of lasers as being white hot?

Don't go to that site! It's riddled with viruses!!
Dammit, I knew I shouldn't have posted my IP address and root password.

Only true if you equate the amount leaked to the amount that would have been actively pumped when the well was fully operational.
post your ip address and root password and I'll check it for you.

Wow, is this a post from 10 years ago? If not, you should really keep up with technology; IIS has matured quite a bit.
Yeah, it's still crap compared to BSD, Linux, or even OS X.
A web server is still crap compared to an operating system?
So if someone didn't write down the law of Gravity, we would all be an amorphous cloud of particles?
Laws put an observed truth down into words. Whether or not this is done doesn't effect that the observed truth is still there.
Precisely my point. Moore's law didn't "allow" anything. It was the inevitable result of progress.
The only reason computers get "faster" over time is Moore's Law, which allows the CPU to do more per clock.
So if Gordon Moore didn't state his law, CPUs would be forbidden from getting faster?
