2. Al-Qaeda used to be "the most-feared" and they managed it without Twitter.
Al Qaeda never managed to establish a caliphate.
Al Qaeda never established a caliphate because Osama bin Laden explicitly prohibited them doing so.
When we killed him, a group broke off from Al Qaeda who wanted a caliphate, the group we now know as Islamic State.
There isn't one shred of data that these devices actually work, or that TSA's security practices have stopped anything. The TSA does not track anything, so there's no way for anyone to know what the hell the truth is. I suspect that the TSA has not stopped anything since 2001, it's been other agencies (FBI, CIA, etc) who have prevented attacks.
There's also the fact that driving is many times more dangerous than flying, yet flying gets the most "security" (not that I want a TSA pat-down before getting into my car, of course, but it just shows how useless they are).
By the way, the backscatter devices would NOT have detected Mr Underpants Bomber. Oh, and every policy the TSA has put in place has been after someone got through security (e.g. shoe bomber => take your shoes off). Security theater at it's finest. Now, who are the politicians who've gotten donations from Rapiscan et.al. and how do we make sure they're permanently removed from office?
Wow. The responses on the forum http://forums.iis.net/t/1148917.aspx?PageIndex=1 are sad indeed.
Windows Security patches DON'T protect against shittily built websites.
My favorite:
I also have been hit by this attack on Saturday 4/12/08. It compromised our database and overwritten that script into all of your products. Luckily a database restore fixed the problem. Two days later the same thing happened, I have changed all the database and login passwords and did another db restore. Now today 4/18/08 we got hit again by the same thing but this time as the pages are loaded ActivX is activated and wants to run but of course I did not allow it. Anybody has successfully solved this situation? It truely sickens me how many web developers STILL don't know about SQL Injection.
Isn't there some sort of clause in patent litigation that states something along the lines of: "if percieved patent infringements aren't brought to light within [5,6 - 10] years of the product appearing on the market, then the owner of the patent is not allowed to sue"? I mean, flash technology has been around for a LONG time now, and this suit is being brought out only now?
I can't imagine anything is going to happen here, especially against powerhouses like Corsair, Kingston, and PNY.
You fail at modern culture. Please unplug your computer, cancel your internet / cable / phone, and sit yourself in a library until you achieve enlightenment.
Why the hell would you take a system written entirely in PHP and add to it / rewrite some of it in a different technology?
I love Rails, and if I have my way I will never touch PHP again. But if I join a company who's intranet is all PHP, then by golly I'm going to use PHP!
This guy is a sensationalist and not worth the attention.
Who said anything about originality? Originality is not on the table here, it's innovating and keeping sequels as high a quality as the original, and in some cases even more so. Even then, the main issue is that the games are FUN! Mario Galaxy is going to be a TON OF FUN! as was Mario 64. Never played much of Sunshine, but I know it was the same Nintendo quality you can expect. I'm currently going through Zelda TP and man, it's a blast. I don't care about "originality", it's a solid, perfectly executed, FUN game.
Sorry, but originality has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
It's obviously not a new concept in computer science, much less games. Too bad the difference between data manipulation and games is that the games need to access these textures 30 - 60 times per second depending on hardware.
I take it you don't know much about 3D rendering and games programming, do you?
Wow, that's an INCREDIBLY good idea! You know, they paid the $250,000+ to license the Unreal 3 engine probably 2 years ago, before Gears of War came out under the guise that the engine is incredibly solid, stable, and next-gen. Now they're finding out that the engine doesn't work! Sure, go ahead and tell the people who've ALREADY licensed the engine to, not license it. They'll just have to go back in time and tell their former selves what Epic will do to them AFTER receiving their money...
Right.
I did a good bit of mod work with the Unreal 2 engine, and I was quite impressed with the toolset. It's disheartening to see Epic mistreating Unreal 3.
This is, if true, most definitely false advertising, maybe even to the point of being a bait-and-switch.
Wow, frankly I'm glad people like you aren't joining the Ruby community. If you even spent 1 minute looking through the Rails code, you would have found the Inflector class that does this "magic". Ruby itself doesn't do that! and you're either naive, ignorant, or both to think that it would.
Um, no it's not. You won't find those words ANYWHERE in the Constitution. The whole concept of Seperation of Church and State was mentioned in a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote after the drafting on the Constitution. What the founding fathers wanted to stop was a system to where the Church IS the State. The Constitution in no way prohibits any and all dealings with a church or religion.
I still don't know why you think many to many is non-existant. ActiveRecord handles many-to-many relationships just fine. Take this example:
table classes
table students
table classes_students
The corresponding Rails code is:
class Class
From what your saying it sounds like you're not following Rails convention and as a result are required to manually specify the join tables and join columns (though those in themselves are also insanely simple). And since you've mentioned scaffolding, if the schema is following the convention, the scaffold created will have all the mappings done for you.
Sorry, but this support is NOT non-existant.
Aye. Why do people like a package selection that is *at least* one year behind everyone else? I mean is php5 even in testing yet? Apt is a great binary package manager, I'll give it that much, but we have debian at work and I hate having to do any sort of upgrade or finding what package I want to install because everything is so damn old.
Now aparently (K)ubuntu's package selection is much more up to date, so I'd go with that if I ever chose a binary distroy. Gentoo and Portage beats it hands down, though.
Yeah, and the CM's aren't human, they're automated reply bots that went wonko.
Right.
It's a bloody forum, people communicate, it's the OFF TOPIC FORUM. Good Lord, learn2think.
You're such a hypocrit. On one hand you're critisizing, no insulting 1up for the (IMO great) read, and on the other hand you're spouting the failure you believe (excuse me, know) the controller is going to be. Is your mommy not gonna get you a 360 for Christmas or something? Grow up man. And parent got modded insightful? It's Flamebait!
Hmm, I would guess that you're jealous it's not in Taco Bell restaurants.
Though frankly I don't see what's so funny about this. It's a step in the right direction. McD's restaurants cover about 10% of the earth. That's a lot of wireless.
