It is nothing of the sort. It iterates through a list of definitions looking for specific values at specific places and assumes a file which matches those to be of the type identified by the definition. They are (supposedly) chosen to be values which can't be changed without breaking the usage of the file, so editing them renders the file useless for its intended purpose. For example, replacing the first two bytes of a Windows executable will cause it to stop being identified as a Windows executable, but then will also stop it from being a Windows executable, as those two bytes are required for execution.
You really think they care about you? You are nothing to them. You are a forgotten, dusty file on some server in a closet. No one cares what you write online. There is no "alert script" watching what you say, as you are just too unimportant.
You seem to be ticking the "egotistical" (as you think you matter to them), "paranoid" (as you think they are out to get you), and "irrational" (as you have no evidence of either of the previous two) boxes yourself... Maybe you worked for the wrong arm of government?:)
Well, as you have demonstrated over your illustrious Slashdot career, when people start making massive damnations of great swathes of the population (such as your fantastic "women can't be scientists" rant), it can spread to other less-critically-adept people, which can cause problems for the rest of society which has to deal with lazy-thinking muppets such as yourself.
Everyone receives $10 worth of public assistance every day (including yourself, through the many programs which pay for things you use and take advantage of to improve your life), just not directly into their bank accounts. By your twisted "logic" no one can vote, ever. That's the problem when you try to make easy-sounding rules to take away people's vote - you end up screwing yourself over, as your simplistic view is not based on reality, but your perverted impression of it. You are a horrible person.
I notice you just attacked all the refugees with absolutely nothing of substance, in a vain attempt to protect an obvious xenophobe from criticism. You might want to work on your argument. "Gone bonkers"? "Real personal problems"? Are you 11?
They are not unskilled, and Germany has the best work training programmes in the entire world. You'd know this if your purported expertise was in any way factual.
Germany's population is getting older. It needs hundreds of thousands of immigrants every year just to maintain it. Hundreds of thousands of people, including a large amount of well-trained (university educated) people can be a gift to Germany if handled correctly. Right now it's the xenophobes who are hurting Germany more.
Xenophobes are rarely logical. Germany desperately needs hundreds of thousands of immigrants just to support the ageing population, yet this guy seems to think they're hurting him (and his family, etc.). That speaks volumes to just how much of this issue he doesn't understand. Germany - and him and his family - need these immigrants. This is demonstrable fact, and not a surprise to anyone who's spent any time trying to understand what's going on.
You'd make a lot of sense if the only adherents to any religion were fundamentalist, which is not the case. A moderate Muslim isn't called to violence even if it's in the Quran. Hint: when you make generalisations of billions of people you are not only wrong but ridiculous for even trying.
That is abject nonsense. The differences are minor, and pale into insignificance when you consider some people in "EU cultures" are far-left and some far-right, which is surely a far greater difference than just drinking a different kind of tea or dinner.
I'm happy that you haven't had to move country to find a good life, but to condemn others for doing so is pathetic, as it's been a constant of human existence since we first climbed down from the trees.
You really should stop making generalisations about people as it just takes one counter example to prove you wrong. That's something many SJWs would have problems with - people using lazy generalisations to make a point, as it unfairly condemns those who do not match the generalisation. Just FYI.
None of that has anything to do with the findings. It's one massive ad hominem applied to the results.
It doesn't matter if the NWO published a PDF outlining their power grab through climate change - it doesn't change the science one iota.
The amount of money available for anyone who can poke holes in this thing is amazingly massive - the fact no-one has been able to do so yet speaks volumes.
Yes, but those facts are completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand. He might have also pointed out just how hot Earth was before it had cooled sufficiently for a crust - it has just as much bearing on human life at the moment as the idiotic, though factual, comments to which I replied.
All these questions have been answered time and time again. If you honestly want to learn, clearly trolling around slashdot pushing people's buttons is not going to work. The fact you are asking to be educated, and then go on to spout your own conjecture in the full knowledge of your lacking education does not paint you in the best light. If you really seek education, it's out there.
No, but the farming failures caused by shifting weather patterns and an increased local temperature average forced a massive internal displacement, exacerbating this situation massively.
The Medieval Warm Period was a heavily localised phenomenon offset by drastic cooling elsewhere. That's why it doesn't figure in global temperatures, as it wasn't global.
And you should be able to realise that "but they're being dishonest too" does not make your dishonesty fine. The fact the IPCC is not, in reality, being dishonest makes your argument and defence even more pathetic.
Aaaah I understand. Your education was terrible and now you feel scared, so like a scared drowning person you lash out at whatever or whoever you can and try to drag it down to your level so you can escape your misery. Good jerb!
If you don't want people picking apart your grasp of science, stop making up nonsensical sciency-sounding phrases.
As for your claims about the IPCC's findings, I have no idea. As you have been so tragically wrong on other aspects of this discussion, I dare say I won't take what you say on face value.
And you can keep your father issues to yourself. I'm simply listening to what the scientific community has to say on the issue.

Your lazy ignorance is astounding, and not in the least surprising. "They took our jeerrrrbs!". Idiot.
What kind of idiot? An idiot who spends their life not cowering in fear from anything with an LED.

Railway & elevator cars beg to differ. A car is just a box on wheels, albeit frequently (but not always) used to describe an automobile.

Both are fine, actually.
So it's just like requesting superuser access in linux, then? Gotcha.
You really should stop making generalisations about people as it just takes one counter example to prove you wrong. That's something many SJWs would have problems with - people using lazy generalisations to make a point, as it unfairly condemns those who do not match the generalisation. Just FYI.
And your conclusions are patently false, which is fine.
None of that has anything to do with the findings. It's one massive ad hominem applied to the results.

1. You are assuming. If you can't see the assumptions in your posts, well, you're doing my work for me.
2. I'm not American, and you being Canadian doesn't change the fact that you are doing a great impression of him.
And all of that doesn't matter, as there is no way in hell our modern societies and agriculture can operate in a climate like that.
If you don't want people picking apart your grasp of science, stop making up nonsensical sciency-sounding phrases.
