Now, I wonder how long it'll be before somebody writes the librarian. I'll never have to do any real work again. Just get that bastard to dig up all kinds of relevant information, stir in a liberal dose of verbal vomit, microwave on high for three minutes and get an A.
Of course, we'd need some better AI for that, which means that somebody has to do a whole mess of real work before we can become the ultimate technoslackers . . . .
Oh! Trying to fool me are you? I'm onto your game. I know that you have the telepathic control chip inside the hat! A tinfoil trojan if you will . . ..
A tinfoil hat, in order to be fully effective must be hand-rolled by its owner out of foil that has been microwaved for no less than the time it takes to fry the magnetron on two separate microwaves. This insures that the nano-RFID tags are fully annihilated.
Why would they want it to be accurate? If it fucks up enough the election will be basically invalid. Guess which way the Supreme Court is gonna throw it if that happens.
I'm sure after The Shrub is reinstalled he'll make sure that electronic voting becomes mandatory so Deibold doesn't get bankrupted for their part in this game and infact makes more money . . . . . .
Yeah! Using our mighty software from the future we don't have the pleasure of these amazing exploits.
Sometimes, when I get bored I fire up my emulated Pentium Pro and take unpached IE 5 for a spin. It's heartwarming that the internet cares enough to 0wn me within thirty seconds of simply visiting it . . . . .
But it's GPL. Commercial game houses can make whatever modifications they think they need and commit them back. Sure, it'd help their competitors too but they have less coding to do if they have something to bounce off.
Besides, it might cause a move towards better stories that way instead of "hella FPS destruction forest 2005."
I think that would break me if it were true. It can't be true. I thought Redmond was a happy forest filled with drunken leprechauns and talking unicorns. I know it is . . ..
I suppose it's fitting that AOL is building the metaverse. In Snow Crash the Street was run by "computer graphics ninja overlords." I think AOL could fit that role.
Marketing knows full well that the kind of people who get "0wn3d" seldom know it's happened. This demographic will quite happily click on shiny things however.
There's a difference between circumvention and simply not supporting the DRM.
If it plays in a CD player it has two channels of 16-bit 44.1KHz PCM audio. You're not circumventing encryption, you're just not listening to the shit that tells you not to rip the unencrypted PCM streams.
The key is learning on a hard distro, and sticking with it until you master the damn thing.
I started my Linux career with Slackware (although I did know sh from my required "introduction to unix" course so I wasn't that fucked.)
Was that wise? I doubt it, but I'm nothing if not stubborn.;)
I think the satisfaction in putting them out of business would be enough.
Why isn't anyone writing a good worm for a change? One that would install itself on the computers of the clueless and destroy their malware. It would roam the internet as an autonomous wave of malware mutilation jacking into networks of its own establishment to retrieve new signature files.
Oh man, now I wish I knew a damn thing about how Windows works so I could go write that monster . . . . . .
The bigger question is WHY is microsoft (lower-casing/deprecation intentional/perpetual) being allowed to take the lead on this. ANY OS (or even BIOS) should be capable of banning or blocking undesirable external devices, the operative phrase being "undesirable external devices".
Microsoft isn't taking the lead on this. On the better OSes users are limited to mounting only what they're explicitly allowed to mount by fstab. (Unless of course you tell sudo to let them do what they want, which will show up in the logs.)
I have a better idea. Many of your students are probably baby hackers. Let them code it. They'll get "paid" by having the opportunity to leave themselves a grade-change backdoor.
Slashdot Mirror
A good reason for it is that currently the only commonly used lossless image format (BMP) is uncompressed and enormous.
Probably not. You are on slashdot.

think of a Futurama line?
Bender: "drive to Vegas, pick up some Flooziebots and void their warranties all night long!"
Hey, I'm that wag you insensitive clod! :p

When are we going to start putting the Coral link IN THE STORY around here?
I think that would break me if it were true. It can't be true. I thought Redmond was a happy forest filled with drunken leprechauns and talking unicorns. I know it is . . . .
* Runs off crying. *
I thought SCO was telling the truth the whole time. You mean to tell me that those bastardly socialist hackers have done nothing wrong? Impudence!
This is Slashdot. Half of us are already out of jobs . . . . . .

Because at Microsoft the engineers responsible for security take orders from marketing?

Any other cool ideas out there?
Universal language translators. Imagine headphones that let you understand any known language.
Consider some of these other Linux commands: "sleep", "mount", "unzip", "strip" and "touch". All highly suggestive in a sexual nature.
The funny thing is that those commands are the closest 99.87% of Slashdotters get to playing real pelvic peaknuckle.

They're basically asking for an engineer with the strength of three ordinary engineers.
You think your fancy new SATA is hot shit don't you? Feh. I've been getting 5ms from SCSI for years.
