    I think that is the sad reality, everything is moving to virtual realm as the internet for the means to access it. I guess all those gmail accounts I have will come in handy, now if I could only figure out how to get a 5 gb file uploaded into them.

    I wonder how many of these lines are used for business oriented links with webfarms as long as the eye can see, botting on hundreds of diff. games to make an economy worth while for some chinese population trying to make a small living.

    The chinese gov. has admitted that gaming is a big economy for them right now.

    Slow down there partner, it ain't always black and white.
    We might be taking this a little too far.

    I do agree with you, some one that interferes with providing food on the table
    should suffer some pain, the punishment should also fit the crime.
    Too many times, it doesn't as someone wants to make an example out of him.

    If you being a diff. color or creed poses a threat to me being able to put
    food on my table, does that mean that I should not give you a job at
    my company you are applying for, seeing as I might have too many racists
    working for me, that would strike for hiring a diff. color man.

    This is the 21st century and internet is wild and untamed as far as I see it.
    Poker, p0rn and god knows what else, if there was a case of slander, bringing justice
    by taking down the site and having the person make a formal public apology for his actions would be
    the best outcome. Tying up courts using tax payers dollars to figure out that this is bad and
    a precedent should be set is a whole other ball game.

    I would really hate to have someone set up a website with my name on it and say that
    I am gay or even worse a pedophile, but this is the problem with places like facebook
    ANYONE can sign up and put the real info to begin with, even real photos and not make it a hate site.

    Then all of a sudden you are collecting intel on the person who you set up as you accept friends and pokes from all your long lost friends from high school. Guess what you have been social engeneered without doing any real damage PUBLICLY. I think the onus is on the facebook makers
    to have a better validation in place, must charge a fee of 10$ to set up an account with the name of the person setting up the site on the card, if the card is cancelled so is the site until a new card with matching name can be referenced. This would take care of people impersonating on that site ...but do you think facebook will be doing this? Nope, cuz' they just don't care....but they should!

    If a wireless UNENCRYPTED router is left broadcasting, does that mean you have the right to use it for internet? Same thing here, because facebook is not personality secure do you give up your rights to use it( or in this case not to use it? )

  15. Re:'the only person he felt he could trust.' on SF Admin Gives Up Keys To Hijacked City Network · · Score: 1

    I don't quite agree totally with your argument, there still needs to be someone who is in ultimate charge of the project or team lead if you will. Whether this person needed to be the only person with this access is not the point, the point was he was trying to tell the upper management of the security risks already in place , and when no one would listen, and just wanted to get rid of him, he decided that for the good of everyone using this network (you and me) that we should be protected, so attack then give the keys and say 'see i told you so'.

    Maybe now they will look into this more closely and inspect what he was saying, and now that the people know about it too, they can't sweep it under a rug later if it still occurs after the fact,
    there would be a criminal lawsuit against them if after knowing about it, they still didn't fix the problem.

    Sometimes, you need to sacrifice yourself for the good of the many, even if in the process, you get labeled a bad guy. I know I am not a bad guy, and I would have done something similar (although hind site is 20/20 so I would have planned immunity with the FBI behind closed doors or something).

    I tend to agree, I find that alot of the web apps out there create bloated code, and use too much fancy stuff, yet when you get an old browser on their page, oops, we cant serve you.

    I don't add javascript unless absolutely necessary like a calendar that pages through events

    I don't feel sorry for them, although I agree about shooting themselves in the foot, I think this should be the ultimate wake up call for M$ about Vista, it sucks, pull it off the shelves already ....it just like their ME version, everyone is looking asking what the h*ll.

    I hope that all companies making these drives sticks to their schema and makes M$ change their OS.
    How does this companies product work with let say Linux, good...well then case closed.
    For a company like this to reinvest more money to cover M$ shortfalls, ends up with a bigger price hit at the beg. and I find that 300$ for a 100gb drive is too expensive already....so don't make it more so by trying to compensate for M$

  20. Re:No ShortCuts !!! on How To Encourage a Young Teen To Learn Programming? · · Score: 1

    I think what he means is that what worked yesterday to get you interested , doesn't work on today's kids, they know already how to program a vcr at the age of 5 and my nephew played unreal tournament well enough at the age of 4 to play by himself, pop the disc in and know what buttons to push to get the desired reaction, where as today, he gets easily bored helping someone program their new cellphone.

    I am a developer and have noticed the trend coming from all this technology, is that the ADD laden generation needs to be stimulated in short doses until they develop their own interest or obsession, then it doesn't matter, they will do it all the time.

    So to answer the original post, I believe their are 2 types of computer geeks, hardware and software, find out which he really likes, and if software is really his thing (not yours being imposed on him) then take him to a cool convention (black hat) to see what cool gadgets are being programmed, then show him the ropes of being able to program a small add-on to lets say msn messenger or something that has a value to his friends or his current life.

    After that if he keeps on about doing something REALLY cool, show him the ropes with VS, that usually gets the juices flowin' and easy enough to learn without getting into assembler history lessons. VBS scripting or even dos is cool too....for script kiddies.

    But then again this is what is means to be human, and different.

    I concur, the value of such sites finding their way into adults daily routines are a sad sign of things to come. It seems it is extending teen life into adult life, and more so apparent how how accepted it is to play video games at 30, while my Dad was 18 when he had me, and always had a games are a waste of time attitude. Keeping that in mind, Alexander the great by the age of 22 had amassed and army and conquered most of mesopotamia back in the day, I wonder how many people can say the same in today's society with their contributions? How many people you know that play video games, volunteer at the hospital etc..... it is a sign of the differences each generation has.
