As you will, John, of course. British Army myself - we have had different experiences perhaps. I agree with you concerning stupidity in every large endeavor. Would add that "some people have all the luck" and so the rest of us have to do what we can. Keep smiling.
Just curious, but I have just got to ask. Military Intelligence is/is not a contradiction in terms ? I repeat, the sole reason for my question is curiosity - so don't lets start World War 3.
Silly human indeed. He's English so he's certainly silly..... but is he human ? But we should notice that he did break into these computers - so silly is not stupid. He did get caught - but we already noticed that he's English. AND NOBODY IS SAYING WHETHER HE FOUND WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR - so watch it, you aliens.
I didn't know that "Sic transit gloria mundi" was pornographic ? I was sure that when "Gloria was sick in the train on Monday" she had her cloths on. Thought I knew about this - had Latin classes at school and all. Ah well..... live and learn, I suppose.
Santa doesn't exist ? Now you've ruined my day. But who fills my stocking then? The tooth fairy exists - she left a shilling under my pillow just 51 years ago; being a Scot, I remember this well.
And why did my mother instill the habit of going to church on Sunday ? You can't fool a Scottish mother.
Come on, eh. Stealing is not a good thing to have happening. Good idea to do what can be done to stop it.

That is surely the take I got on it. Had to think about it for a moment though. Long words and so on. Hard for me. May be correct - open source doesn't cost hardly anything - might be a way for the schools to save money. Yep - I can go with that.
While the is a lot of truth in what you're saying, you really should read the text all the way to end. He does actually say that his example is simple - but it is short. He asks for a broader approach from the reader, I think.
As I remeber it, another Al (Capone) said something the same. But I'm perhaps getting too old to remember clearly.
Just a thought..... I think there's a song too !
Me too, friend - me too. In fact I notice my very own boss going in for an oil change once a month. He says that he goes there because the garage owner is his father. We know better, huh ?
I needed the clue - didn't realise you were being sarcastic. Certainly didn't mean to be sarcastic myself - I was just struggling to understand. I have at least understood why I cannot understand - for I don't watch much TV and, you'll forgive me, I don't plan on watching more. If I can, I'd like to ask a simple question, though, without being ironical, or even (gawd help us) sarcastic. Is a sarcastic parody possible ? I'm sure it must be, since you say so, but it worries me as an idea (perhaps because I feel that the use of tautology indicates a tendancy towards megalomania). As for myself, I've decided to go back to just reading/. - which I find vastly entertaining and not a little informative (even if there are bits that I just don't "get"). Every time I write anything I seem to upset people; sorry if what I wrote bothered you - it was not my intention. A good New Year to you.
Friend, it made me smile more than a little to write it. It irritates me a bit this AC rant routine - though free "speech" is a good thing. I don't mind too much, though, except when they rant in the name of "all Slashdot readers". Hope you did have a good day. Nice to here that I'm not the only nitwit who must have Slashdot with the morning coffee. Cheers
I'm also struggling with the "why" part of the equation. That's two of us, eh ? Or one person who should glance round from time to time. One or t'other.
Cultural..... if you like. Might want to define it like "The Dutch come from a very small country called Holland. In Holland there exists one very big company called Philips. Philips has a very well defined corporate point of view (I nearly said culture) regarding innovation which is not theirs"
Don't you folks have a saying "What's good for General Motors is good for America"? Well in Holland that goes "if it even might be bad for Philips, then it's shit".
As for herpes - I hear that, in America, they're not against it.
The really question is "Where does Microsoft want to go today ?" I hope they don't think I care. I also hope that they themselves might come to know where they want to go - but they will stay out of my back pocket !
Slashdot Mirror
Yep ! Wayto go!
Naw - I gotta admit that I also read "slut" instead of "suit". But then I blinked - can't have eveything.

You are not alone. In my picture the hacker was both very fat and very tall.

Hey why not. Equal rights for cockroaches, damn them. They should have their own houses.

How much money did you contibute, and to whom, during the last presidential election ? Or is it just me ? There is a song, you know.

Neatly put, my dear good sir, neatly put.

Why thank you. Nice thought.

And quite right too, my AC friend. The fact that I'm not Dutch but that I do work for Philips distorts my point of view.
I on my way boss. I sorry.
