Yea... in this case it sure sounds like he was a pedo.... and he's probably getting whats coming to him.... but the implications for many innocent people are quite disturbing.
Where does the RIAA think the money is going to come from. Its not like web radio is making money hand over fist. Even the best web radio stations are struggling to survive under the current conditions, much less their future ridiculous rates.
Bingo. At least one person here understands the biggest reason not to allow cell phones. It would hammer the cell networks. Not only are phones travelling at 500 mph going to be hopping networks constantly... but phones that are high in the atmosphere will be likely to be able to hit many towers at the same time and probably constantly trying to hop between them. The networks aren't really designed to be used in high-atmosphere and would probably require some reworking if they allowed cells on airplanes.
You do realize this is the cause of most security vulnerabilities across the board, right? It's hardly a solved problem. Although in a way you are right, most first programming classes are taught using safer languages than C now, so maybe they are teaching the solution.
If someone really need the programming language to stop you from overrunning a buffer, they probably should just stop writing software because its obviously not their forte. But you're right, this is the leading cause of vulnerabilities, and its silly that it even happens. People just need to learn to keep better track of buffer sizes and use safer memory writing functions.
INDEED! Thank you for pointing it out. When I was in school for CompE... there was a good amount of cheating. But the most outrageous cheating came from *foreign* students... who generally congregated together in labs and copied each others work. How is the honest student supposed to compete with a bunch of group-cheat students on the bell curve?
Now that's just crazy. It's clear you're not a scientist. I remember when Perlmutter gave his initial SN indications of an accelerating expansion, he was met with wild derision at the conference I was attending. Astronomers (and physicists) *love* to prove each other wrong. New and bizzarre theories are rightly derided until they can stand up to the same level of rigor and evidence as the rest of the body of knowledge. It's clear now, after many more candidates have been observed, that Perlmutter was right.
Good example... and you're right on here... science by its very nature is skeptical of any new ideas... if you're going to bring forth a controversial theory, you're going to need to be ready for that theory to be derided by scientists everywhere for a while as it is tested and show to have legs or fall flat... it just goes with the territory....
Well... I agree to a point.... the Windows directory sucks... and the Docs and Settings directory sucks.... but C:\Program Files rocks... its simple... everything goes there if you want it to... i don't like the mounting of drives in linux.... you can mount them where-ever you want... which is kind of cool, but its easier to just see C: D: E: whatever... I don't really care for either organization, its hard to keep things from getting messy...
I actually agree... the Linux/Unix file tree is confusing and gives the impression of being unorganized. I find it difficult to determine where things exist on my Linux machine as an advanced user, I can only imagine how it looks to a novice. A lot can be done to Linux to add usability for less advances users while keeping the options open for experts... I'd like to see even more strides made toward usability in future releases.
I have an AMD laptop.... it runs much to hot to do anything more than surfing the net and such.... sometime writing code... thats my biggest problem with AMDs in general... they run HOT..... so much so that I have actually considered heading to the dark side....

Jailtime? And I thought throwing junkies in jail was questionable. Come on.... jailtime for web site operators?

Whoa whoa whoa whoa.... remember that whole "Dark Ages" thing? Not to get too far off topic... but Christianity set us back thousands of years technologically... superstition and fear of science brought about by the Christian domination of Europe stifled any innovation between the fall of Rome and the Reniassance. If thats not enough reason to distrust Christians in the scientific community, then their "faith" is... faith has no place in science...
Regardless, christians can be scientists, but only so far as they know how to separate their "beliefs" from the scientific process... heck even Isaac Newton believed in astrology... but he also knew not to base his physics or calculus on the positions of stars...

The marketting department despises this type of hero... just look at Max Payne 2 vs Max Payne 1... you lose the wise cracking geeky cop of MP1 for the Jackass of MP2... I'm sure MP3 will be even worse... he'll probably be an ex-marine or something... Same thing goes for Prince of Persia: Sands of Time vs Prince of Persia: Warrior Within....
Wish all you want. We live on a planet with finite resources. Unless we develop energy-to-matter conversion devices (replicators) we will have to fall in line and ratchet back our standards of living. Sooner or later, you're going to have to scale back all the luxuries you enjoy now.
A half trillian dollars deficit or so says the US DOESN'T have the money... take that as you may... pretty fucking scary on both sides of this argument!
actually... I have the Creative Zen Nomad (the 40 gig version of this) and it was only $250 and I love the thing... the interface isn't quite that of the iPod.... but for the price reduction its great.... the interface software isnt bad at all either....
Ridiculous... striving for scientific explanations does not equate to athiesm at all. People think anyone who has different beliefs than a "god" and some prophets is an athiest... science is a very spiritual experience for me and a lot of people...
I don't need a religious dogma explaining everything with mythical tales of creation to give meaning to my life. In fact, meaning comes to my life from NOT knowing where things came from... something as inconceivable as "god" is far beyond human comprehension... much less the comprehension of the early church leaders who defined what christianity believes...
Slashdot Mirror
Windows Calculator or Minesweeper, I'm guessing.
What? No Omega Man? Anyone who thinks I am Legend (or 28 Days Later for that matter) were remotely original, is sadly mistaken. RIP Charlton...
Yeah, but are you getting a kick out of these replies?
Russian googlette???
Welcome to the gulag, comrade...

I can see this as a way of developing probably cause to search your PC's for illegal pr9n.... but even that is pretty weak...
What happens when someone develops malware to hit this URL?
Talk about scary...
I can't believe bestbuysux.org is gone. So much for the little guy.

With a half trillian dollars in deficit... where are they getting this "money?"
Can I still have alcohol?
