  1. Re:Maybe this is a generational thing... on The Programmers Go Coding Two-by-Two — Hurrah? · · Score: 1

    Is it ever ok to code ass to mouth?

    You might be interested in this movie, which illustrates the concept with more than 2 "programmers". Btw, in Unix parlance, this is known as a pipeline: the first command's output is the input for the second, and the second's output is the third's input...

    Reminds me of a joke:

    A short time after his election to the highest office, F. Hollande (new French president) went visiting her Majesty the Queen of the British Empire

    Unconsciously he was rather afraid about this first opportunity for a monumental once-in-five-years gaffe.
    So, there he was sitting is the horse-drawn carriage of Her Majesty the Queen.

    Suddenly, one of the horses reminded the passengers of its presence more by their sense of smell than by their sense of hearing. It did this so well that their very breathing was impacted.

    The queen then said to mister Hollande: "You see, my dear, even the queen of England cannot control everything!"

    "I appreciate your honesty, Majesty, at first I assumed it was the horse."

    reinstall implies "install same shit OS than was there before". Maybe know might be the time to install a noob-friendly Linux instead (Ubuntu, ...)?

    GP obviously didn't mean forensic as "will stand up in court", but only as "will satisfy my curiosity about what the scammer did to the PC, so that maybe I can get around a complete wipe".

    Victim's father is not accused of a crime here (unless the scammer also dumped some kiddy porn on the disk..), so "preserving the chain of evidence" is not a necessity here.

    And preserving evidence in order to haul the scammer into court is not necessary as well, because:

    • police already knows about these scams, so no additional "hard" evidence needed
    • police is too overworked to do anything (else they'd already done something long ago), or they know that those scammers reside abroad anyways

    Juries can talk about whatever they want in private deliberations, and there's no way you can remove prior knowledge and bias from the jury unless you weed out those people during voir dire. Obviously it was in Apple's interest to have a guy who held patents on the jury, so they kept him in.

    But wouldn't both parties have had the opportunity to bar jurors during voir dire? And Obviously it was not in Samsung's interest to have a guy who held patents on the jury, so why did they keep him in? Or had they already run out of strikes?
