Now...see...I always had a problem with that "writing efficient C++ code" stuff. The compilers now-a-days can optimize like crazy already. Half the time you can write the code to be understandable...and then just the compiler take over. Granted, DRASTIC programming errors can destroy the programming efficiency, but, little ones can be fixed.
Actually, the worst thing about being in LA is that there are no indoor gun ranges within the city limits that I know of, with the exception of the police ranges, and the LAX range
You need to be indoors for that? Just walk around those "unsavory" parts of LA during the middle of the night. You'll get plenty of practice!
I think I might have seen something like this. In my previous life as helpdesk/abuse guy at a small ISP, I was in charge of locking accounts for spamming.
In order for you to be a help-desk abuse guy at an ISP, you would have had to been around in say the early 90s when that was becoming popular.
So let's say that's true. That meks you around 13 now.
What happens when a tornado takes out the building holding the critical data AND the building holding that nice array of IDE drives 2 minutes apart?
That's preposterous! Everybody knows that tornados are very precise. The chance of the same tornado hitting one building and then hitting another 2 minutes away is very unlikely. Come on...anybody who watched Twister knows that.:-p
:: panic::
Has Symantec released the update for this!
How about WindowsUpdate...will that protect me!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHH! :: end of (exaggerated) panic::
Seriously -- if people knew more about the systems they run on, they wouldn't have problems like this. For example...all pictures should be stored in the 'My Pictures' folder provided by Microsoft. Why do you think it's there?
"Ja. My name is Helga! You vant to use my Linux box! It's very pretty! Just don't hurt it...or I hurt you."

Yeah...but...the problem with getting *A* password (doesn't matter if it's root or not) results in the following problems:
1.) If that employee is working on an important company project and they gave away their password, a cometitor might be able to gain the advantage on that new product.
2.) A user account is almost ALWAYS the first stepping stone into the root account. Partly because if you can gain access to the network, there are many more exploits that you have the option of deploying.
So...getting a user password can, ultimately, be just as dangerous.
8 million complaints, huh? Well now...I have a problem with that number. As many of you may know, AOL counts ANY type of signup to their service as an official member. (This is how they have 10 billion members...or whatever it is.) They even keep cancelled accounts!...so...based on that logic...
8 Million Complaints (as reported by AOL) - 1 Million Complaints being submitted twice (because AOLers barely know what they are doing) - 1 Million E-mails sent 'cause 13 year old males like to see if they can ruin some poor bastard's life who has to sift through this mail - 2 million E-mails that were sent 10 years ago, but AOL didn't bother to read them then because they didn't care about spam (but they have decided to count them now) - 3.7 million e-mails that were sent to AOL's complaint account by spammers trying to spam said account
...with a Soldier's Ball open to Americans and Iraqis in Baghdad hosted at the Jewish Community Center...
Didn't you hear...soldier's don't have balls...
BEFORE everybody gets pissed at me, please don't. This was not intended to do any harm and I mean nothing in paticular by it. I know people who are in the war right now, and those guys definitely got balls. (Bullets are scary.) It's just a joke.

Homer - "Mmmmm...cheese on a stick..." :: drools ::
Nah...must be my imagination. :-p
(w/ complimentary russian accent) ;-)
"It's right in front of you and opens very, large, doors."
Homer - "Mmmm...Dippin' Dots"
Who does NOT like Dippin' Dots? Seriously. Best thing ever. Wish it was sold in stores.
(Please note the *hint* of sarcasm there.)

Its compact form and high-tech appearance allows it to be worn discreetly in public.
Actually...isn't NUMA already in use? (National Underwater and Marine Agency.) You know...the same organization that Dirk Pitt belongs to.

A girl in Holland (who uses Linux):
"Ja. My name is Helga! You vant to use my Linux box! It's very pretty! Just don't hurt it...or I hurt you."
Please note : The accent may be wrong and I'm not intending to offend girls from Holland. But, the SCARY remark made by anonymous coward had to be responded to.
...'cause...peanut butter and chocolate DO go together.
Didn't you mean to say, "Uh...yeah. Because Linux and women go together like chopped liver and pancakes." -- or something like that?
Yeah...but...the problem with getting *A* password (doesn't matter if it's root or not) results in the following problems:

Oh...please please please...I wanna first post.
(Okay...so simple things amuse me.)

= 300,000 valid complaint e-mails
Yes, that sounds better.
What you say about my momma!?
It also brings up the question - If cars could feel naked... ;-)
And you call yourself a NERD!
Why...you...you...
Finally! Something a Slashdotter can give to his woman -- and then he can use it too!
Wait...there's a problem with that...Slashdotters don't have women. ARGH! Foiled again!
HA! That's what you think!
Whoops...sorry about that. I put my reply under the wrong post. Please accept my apologies.
