You forgot to add high performance server side and real time applications to the list! Yeah, because Objective-C,.Net, python and perl aren't fast.../sarcasm
1999 called, and he wants his preconceptions back.
Except from the fact that it breaks EVERY conceivable piece of UI Microsoft has put on paper before. No menu, the "Office button", the ribbon missing important pieces of shortcuts (printing, saving as,...). Seriously, it's as if they just wanted to create something radically new, without thinking about continuity.
Oh and where's the API if I want to build an application with the same UI elements? Where are the guidelines to design interfaces with those?
Hahaha! Have you met admins in real life? Most are incompetent, overpaid screen-lookers. I've met some that didn't know what TCP meant. A lot of them didn't care about opening only the necessary outbound ports, just inbound. And then, when you point out it's a software firewall, they can't see why the difference is important...
This made me very sad, and I stopped working in security. I came to the true realization that demolishing a moron's bad work only made the moron build it back exactly where it was. Lazy admins don't fix vulnerability, they make the path around them.
Disclaimer: I've met some brilliant admins in this world. Unfortunately, they were only a handful.
You ignored it, and I was answering to that post, not the original poster. If you want to hack while the computer is running, there are indeed ways of doing so (many covered here on slashdot, namely RAM reading when computer is on/off and keeping the computer alive while whiping BIOS or just moving the computer to another office to investigate further.
If you are flexible in forensics method, just kill the computer power, take hard drive off and have fun reading it.
You're using a BIOS? Holy crap, I'll just remove the battery of the cmos for 5 minutes and I'm done. Or use the jumper to go faster.
Admit it, once you have access to the computer, it's game over. Unless you encrypt the hard drive. The whole thing. And your RAM as well. And use EFI. Encrypted...
Yes, sorry. The Intel VMM uses 36 bits address translation, so that would be 32 Gb. Sorry, didn't finish my math:P uuxququex: that's the new Snow Leopard, who works in full 64-bit, not the current Leopard which has limitations. Read the threads and all the parents.
Some of the tools delivered by Apple in Leopard aren't. Like System Preferences modules, kernel extensions and some plugins. And I think there was still a limit of 16Gb of RAM because the memory manager wasn't fully there (I could be wrong though).
Or you just have to change the hash result of the files, meaning you could cross-encode, compress and then modify a single pixel. There. No need for creepy passwords.
What are mathematics without arithmetic? Here in Quebec, sometimes old people or US news talk about mpg (miles per gallons) and our comparison standard is in l/100km. On my trip to the US I had a good time doing the comparison between the gaz price and checking how much it did cost doing both conversions. Some French asked me how tall I am (in my age we mostly use imperial units) and I had to convert to metrics. Mathematics are everywhere. And I'll make sure my child is good at it.

That makes no sense. Turing completeness is a property of languages, not algorithms.
Sorry, but the correct joke:
You know what they say. If it can't be done in one line of perl, it's not computable by a turing-complete language machine.
is really not as funny as the first one, and arrogant.
No, not zero. The plane of her chest would just have to be tangent to her boobs.
Uh... and what would be the area of the junction between a tangent plane and a sphere? Go fetch back your math books.
...one line of PERL!
You know what they say. If it can't be done in one line of perl, it's not turing-complete.
I'm as much a Marine biologist as the next George Costanza, but I fail to find this joke funny...
You sound like you plan on being part of the 99% who fail to survive the first 6 months. Tough luck.
It will be a wonderful and renewed world afterwards.
So, you seeing many dinosaurs these days?

Computers don't like to be anthropomorphized either.
What part of "bug solved in 3.1.2" did you not understand? It's not like it's the first security hole that took a month or two to solve.
Software OS monopoly over IBM's hardware monopoly. Thought it was pretty clear.
I'm 28 too. January.
And I'd dare say Whoosh.
*grumpf* Older UIDs never wants to change.
As long as it's not 70 Library of Congress times (parsecs per fortnight)...
You have to have a UID lower than your own IQ, or the IQ of the poster. At least that's what I was told.

Funny, I actually performed better at school when I was told that I could do something better, not when I was told I was best.
nutjubs, crack cases, and quacks. Why stop at disbarred lawyers?
No no no. I think you got it backwards...Yes, and putting more people into the classroom will not arrange this problem. We're screwed either way.
Yes. I wanna help my neighbors, and I don't care if it makes you call me a communist or a christian, I'm not doing it for the names.
