What I found funniest about this article (other than the total cluelessness of the author) was that all ten Google ads surrounding it on the page were for virus, spyware, and trojan protection tools.
I've yet to see a website sporting Flash that doesn't use it for useless eye-candy or advertising.
I almost agree with this, but homestarrunner and ubergeek.tv are pretty entertaining. For everything else, I use Flashblock with Firefox and all is fine and dandy with the world.
I've wish I could throw a baseball from center field to home plate, and hit a 90mph fastball hard enough that I get on base 1 out of 3 times, with 50 homeruns in a season - I'd be close to retirement by now if I could do that. (Granted less than 1% of the population can, but if I could...)
"Less than 1%"? Try 1% of 1% of 1% of 1%. You need to work on your math skills more to be a successful geek...:)
I like the odds in CS better myself. I should, since I've been working at it for 25 years now, with no prolonged unemployment stretches. If you're good at it, and if you got into the field for the right reason (because you like it, not because the bucks are good), you'll probably do fine, even now.
Besides, much of major league baseball has been outsourced to the Caribbean these days anyway. So much for that "industry", maybe Congress should get involved...
If you read the article, you'd know that they use 3 pounds of coffee beans for every pound of pasta. No wonder they're so productive, they never sleep!
You don't need a stable solar orbit when you can't even get to low-earth orbit reliably. Let's see how tomorrow's shuttle launch goes, then go back to dreaming about the military domination of the solar system later. Or maybe we can just the the &%$#* international space station finished, ferchrissake...
the $5000 is more like roughly $100,000 all things considered
Thank you, you've restored my faith in our system. I was afraid that our Senators and Representatives were selling themselves too cheaply. I'm delighted to see that they're being properly compensated for their favoritism.
AOL had a lower rate of zombies, by far, than Comcast or Verizon. So there's a correlation between speed (and duration) of connection and rate of zombies. Whoa, there's a surprise.
Brickner identifies which distros are capable of resizing an NTFS-formatted partition; this determines whether or not a user can install that distro on a hard drive already containing Windows, and thus have a dual-boot system.
When I installed Fedora (core 2) on a Windows laptop last year, I had to use Partition Magic to do the repartitioning. Could somebody comment about which Linux distros now do this for you? I'm genuinely curious (and don't want to shell out $ just to do a one-time system prep for installing dual-boot next time). Thanks...
Although they are "extra-terrestrial" (in that they're not on the earth, exactly), people who use cellphones in crowded public places (like airplanes) are decidedly NOT intelligent, thus won't be detected.
I think you're confusing Dvorak with
Bob Metcalfe. Metcalfe is a respected commentator and accomplished industry pioneer who was wrong once ten years ago. Dvorak is a Linux-hating troll who is wrong most of the time.
If you can use their bots at 5 cents apiece, maybe we should just pay them to run a disinfecting program (maybe just something to turn on the firewall). 5 cents x 10 million bots = $500K, and the problem goes away (or at least the most-easily-infected PCs will be remediated).
"I definitely can see a carmaker jump in, just like General Motors jumped in with XM Radio," said Walter Keegan, the author of Autoblog. "Just to tout the next big thing or to have something different.... That would be a big selling point."
Yeah, there's nothing a deep-pockets carmaker wants more than to be sued by RIAA for facilitating copyright violation on an absolutely humongous scale.
Just put your iPod on shuffle; this will give you a better match with your tastes than letting the guy in the next car select your music for you.

There was a day recently (Wednesday, I think) where there were no +5's at all for most of the stories.
/. recently introduced "tighter editorial control" also. They stopped giving out mod points.
What I found funniest about this article (other than the total cluelessness of the author) was that all ten Google ads surrounding it on the page were for virus, spyware, and trojan protection tools.
noon-3am: in the lab

That would easily be correct 85% of the time.

Of course, maybe that shouldn't be surprising, given the book you just read. Sounds good.
The bug exploited to break fingerd involved overrunning the buffer the daemon used for input.

1. New York Times calls for death penalty for hacking. 2. Phrack ceases publication after 20 years. Coincidence?

Don't worry, most of the IBM employees in India speak excellent English. Besides "Indian" isn't a language.

Wow, it's like public-access cable TV, only world-wide. Whoopee.
Hmmm, and to think I gave up SuSe a few years ago (around version 7.3). Maybe it's time to look at it again.

I wonder how long it will be until China just disconnects itself from the global Internet?

I did say "mostly useless", not "completely useless" . :)
