  2. Re:Let's not play word games on UK Wants To Ban Computer-Generated Child Porn · · Score: 1

    So we have two systems of belief here:

    1. We are just physical beings who become worm food and have no afterlife. Therefore the only rewards we can receive are those that are given during our life, and in society those rewards are only given for good (or even mediocre) behaviour.

    2. We can act how we want and cause whatever problems we wish as long as we wholeheartedly believe that Christ is the only living God, begotten by the Virgin Mary....... And then we get to spend a perfect blissful eternity with God in a flawless environment beyond our wildest imagination.

    Which one is more likely to cause problems again?

    It was an example of how poor the software (could) be. I'm not really judging the software, but most implementations I've seen give way-off responses like that.

    That reminds me of something that happened to me a few years ago.

    I was kidnapped by this guy, and locked in his basement. I was reminded of this time that I was writing commercial software and couldn't link against a GPL'd library. If only there were some LGPL interface to kidnapping. ?

    Though when you think about it, I think it'd be WORSE to not have indications that you are among such. Better to have the detector than not! ;)

    That doesn't seem quite right. Poison Ivy is an Allergic Reaction which means if you don't react to it, it's not hurting you. You cant be a "Poison Ivy Carrier" and spread it to your loved ones or cute puppies. (All bets are off if ferrets are involved though...)

  10. Re:who knows on What's the Point of IT Certifications? · · Score: 1

    I'd like to think you're joking. I am, however, painfully aware that you are not.
    There is a difference between moving MSWormyMcWorm.a.1 from someone's computer by reading Symantec or Norton's howto and managing and sysadmining a mission critical DB, web, mail, or other server.
    While I find certifications to be as annoying as the next guy, I can't agree that you're experience in formatting a hard drive is equivalent to the information contained in certification tests.

    There is a significant amount of GPL'd artwork out there. Any icons, etc, used in programs would work well. Check out /usr/share/pixmaps from any all-free distribution of Linux.

    Would I listen to some random guy walking down street for warnings?

    If some 'random guy' told you that there was an angry man with a gun ahead I think you'd listen.

    It seems like you've spent a little too much time in some super-liberal undergrad journalism ethics class.

    ... digital bytes never get old or need to be routinely checked by some paid worker

    Well, while I agree that Microsoft should bundle anti-virus/spam/spyware/any-bad-thin with their OS, I don't think that this statement is right. I'm sure that the people who work for Symantec and MacAffee would be very unhappy to hear that they are not paid workers. Both of these companies, and presumably MSFT if they were to bundle anti-whatever software, must be constantly updated to detect the changes in viruses and what-have-you.
