Unlike the blind men, the programmers on a given project know what the finished product is supposed to be.
Maybe not. There are probably hotshot programmers out there who might decide to put wheels on the elephant instead of legs, just to soup things up a bit.
After all, if you can assemble an elephant Lego(TM) style, you shouldn't be limited to just legs, right?
Drexler thinks "molecular assemblers" are possible while Smalley denies it.
They are possible, and Twinkies(TM) provide the proof. They are manufactured with absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever, and this is only possible if vitamins and minerals are screened out at the molecular level.
First they came for the File swappers
and I did not speak out
because I was not a File Swapper.
Then they came for the Cryptologists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Cryptologists.
Then they came for the Hackers
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade Hackers.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
So who are "they" anyway? And why have "they" been allowed to masturbate in front of all these disparate computer user groups with such impunity?
I don't believe Joe Sixpack will care about this until it starts affecting his fast food and TV viewing habits...
Dear Sir,
I read with much interest your personal attack upon my character, which is surprising considering that I don't even know you. In times such as these, when celebrities can get away with overt insider trading, drug use and child molestation, I find it puzzling that you would choose to attack a humble person such as myself. Please reconsider your assessment of my character and post an apology.
Sincerely,
Joseph P. Sixpack III

Linux advocates are trying to convince IT managers to abandon Microsoft Corp.'s licensing fees and security issues in favor of Linux software for the desktop.
Good luck! We have an ERP system where I work, running SunOS, but the rest of the place is 100% Microsoft. I've been clearly told by my IT manager that I cannot have Linux on my PC, not even as a dual-boot system. In addition to pissing me off personally, it makes me keep an eye out for another job. I think the pressure to adopt Linux may come from bottom-level employees rather than top-level managers.
While virus writers are usually socially adept, many hackers are not.
I agree, that seems a bit out of place and strange.
It makes it sound like virus writers are swash-buckling, James Bond types...not what I think of them when I spend hours cleaning up after virus messes on our network.
If they'd just called it the Preserve Access to Telecommunications and Required Infrastructure for Online Transactions (PATRIOT) act, it would have swept through both houses of Congress with little opposition. Haven't our legislators learned anything?!
My choice would have been Freedom to Access Required Telecommunications Infrastructure for the Next Generation (FARTING). I'm pretty sure it would have passed and swept through both houses of Congress with little opposition.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the Apple iTunes Music Store; its AAC-encoded files sound great, the selection is decent, and it's easy to use. But I don't like feeling hemmed in.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy my wife; her voice sounds great and her ass is decent, and she's easy to get along with. But I don't like feeling hemmed in, so I'm still going to play the field.
Sunspots are dark, cooler regions of the solar surface. They are areas of pent-up magnetic activity, caps on upwelling matter and energy that can blow at any moment.
How do they know this? Doesn't it make more sense to conclude that the darks spots are where dark matter is colliding with the sun, and that this accounts for the violent energy release? Duh!
It's kind of funny, I guess, but someone should revoke your license to use the word "logic" for that one.

In your world, does "You don't need perfect balance to ride a bicycle" lead to "The best bicylce riders are klutzes"? I hope you're not working on the kernel!
Not in my world, but in Bill Gates' world apparently! He would have you believe that Micro$oft has good security while from the other side of his mouth he implies that they also have buggy software (which shouldn't be news for any realistic person).
At work today, I battled the Nachi Worm again, which wouldn't exist if not for Micro$oft's complete incompetence in the area of computer security.

Jenni, I've got your number,
I need to make you mine,
Jenni, don't change your number:
64.141.14.2 (Chorus) 64.141.14.2!
Where can one buy stock in your company?

Yes, because fraud laws only apply to the common person. If the common person starts their own business and then tries this, it will be okay.
You're not wrong for not being a lawyer--not being a lawyer is a good thing IMHO.
In higher education, apparently only widgets cost money.
They are possible, and Twinkies(TM) provide the proof. They are manufactured with absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever, and this is only possible if vitamins and minerals are screened out at the molecular level.
I'm sure Kenneth Lay, Martha Stewart and Hilary Rosen would understand.
So who are "they" anyway? And why have "they" been allowed to masturbate in front of all these disparate computer user groups with such impunity?
Now I can't even get a home loan!!! And I can't consolidate my debts!!!
Stretch the truth on the first two, and stretch your payments on the third.
Well, it is you know.
Not very cost effective, but an interesting variation of "message in a bottle."

The Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior on November 10, 1975. Microsoft was also founded in 1975, I believe. There must be a connection.
November the 10th is never a good day.

What? Oh great, I bet there's going to be listening devices in all those AOL CDs that I get in the mail from now on...
Yah, as if anyone's going to let you take a lighter to their cock...sheesh...

By that logic, Microsoft software should be the securest software around.
The buck stops with him.
