While I understand the desire to stick it to these creeps, from a purely cost/benefit analysis point-of-view, it doesn't seem to me to make a lot of sense
Mutually assured destruction is a real drag, and yet we've been stockpiling nukes for decades. Revenge is (perceived as) sweet, and not just to IPD aficionados.

Boy did you drink the kool-aid! Times are tough, and looking for work sucks ass, especially if you are unable to relocate to a less-desirable location for less pay at a job you don't care for but need to pay the bills. But I'm not bitter.
"Snap Circuits" are a similar concept which my kid has had some fun with. No springs, like the old 200-in-1 kits, but a variety of large, easily manipulated pieces you snap together to connect. Some projects are fun, some teach electronics. Go for one of the larger kits (at least the 200 modes) if you want any kind of variety.
How many people out there would sit back in a situation where they have 10 years, or so, to make every penny they need to live on for the rest of their lives and then work at a base scale?
Sounds a lot like software engineering, except that limited show lifetimes are replaced by high programmer burnout rate. Good thing it's never too late to change one's occupation.
You are probably better off ditching the subliminal aspect. If you are interested in memorizing info, record yourself speaking what you want to remember, and listen to it at normal volume (perhaps while focusing on some other task, or at faster-than-normal speed). If you are interested in behavioral change, why not try self-hypnosis?
For free internet, I'd go to the DMV every day! My favorite WiFi locations, though, are sports bars, because the multiple big-screen TVs, loud music, booze, and barely-dressed waitresses are not sufficiently entertaining or overstimulating without a healthy dose of internet pornography on the side. The new and improved three-martini lunch, if you will.
And how about a sense of scale, or of the method of construction? These factors will limit your ability to generate the desired airfoil shape with a high degree of accuracy. In that case, you may want to trade off on high-performance for high tolerance of irregularities.
This suggests a viral technique for applying security patches: Given a newly discovered vulnerability, create a worm which exploits that vulnerability, applies the patch on the infected machine (or disables the broken service), then attempts to infect other unpatched machines.
Not good enough; if there is a subdirectory "shares" then you could always delete from shares/../../../windows/explorer.exe, etc.
That's okay. With my mad coding skillz, I'm sure to pass the EarthStation's developer prescreening anyway! Just watch me code Pascal's triangle! Ooh, and reverse the words in a sentence! Let me at 'em!
Including a remote file deletion in the protocol is only part of the problem, though, and that's obviously intentional. The really dangerous part is that you can tell a remote computer to delete a file on a relative path including "../../../", wiping out (unshared) files from the arbitrary directories on the machine.
Sounds to me more like somebody forgot to check for "." at the beginning of the deletion path. If you can delete arbitrary files in this way, it would seem likely that you can retrieve arbitrary (not intentionally shared) files, too.
But having cheap semi-pro equipment can only get you so far. Isn't the quality of the engineer and producer much more of an important factor to sound quality than the affordability of the hardware being used? I own some digital recording equipment, and I've been recording with it for years, but guess what? My recordings don't sound nearly as good as anything professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered.
Any recording professionals here downsizing their studio in this way, and seeing results comparable to a full-sized studio?
In techno / electronica, this seems feasible, or maybe even in live recording situations, but in general?

FreePC didn't disappear per se -- it was acquired in early 2000 by eMachines, the cheap (i.e. a little less free) PC manufacturer.

I have trouble believing that something that makes a good security guard also makes a good children's toy...
Guns?

The OGL Programming Guide is put out by the OpenGL ARB. The version covering 1.1 was excellent.
About equally as necessary as your post's rebroadcast of the advertisement.

From the FAQ:
Q4: How do I know you aren't working for the man?
A: We're not, we promise.
Wanted: Cracks on isolated Windows server. Full disclosure required. Compensation $250 or negotiable. Social Engineers need not apply.

Yes. Looks more like a terrible security oversight than a deliberate backdoor. I am not convinced by:
"IMPORTANT: This is not a bug! They intentionally added this code to ES5."
as much as the author would have me be.
