In about seven years of using Windows extensively, not once. DLL hell might have been an issue in the days of Windows 95, but it has long since vanished, except in the complaints of Slashdotters.
Thousands... out of tens or hundreds of thousands. What do you do when you want something that isn't on the party-approved list?
And Windows programs don't have problems with dependencies. This is a problem Linux has created for itself, and packaging systems is a kludge to soothe this self-inflicted pain. Neither does most Windows app "release early, release often", forcing users to keep installing new updates to incrementally fix the earlier broken releases and allowing developers to be lazy with their QA.
The numerology of Discordianism was the most annoyingly inappropriate part of the Illuminatus books. A religion that worships chaos uses the numerology, the ultimate victory of the human tendency to force patterns and order onto chaos over sense?
A steel/concrete building has never collapsed from fire.
Yes, in all the long history of airliners crashing into world-class highrises, not a single one has collapsed, until now! There is certainly some foul play involved in how this event unfolded so differently from all the earlier, similar events!
What they found matters, but that does excuse the fact that they were not just willfully irresponsible, but actively malicious (they used several different exploits against people on the web and on IRC). They were simply thugs out to stir up shit and get some attention.
why is it that when terrorists have some inifnitesimal amount of poison, it is enough to wipe out the entire planet, but when big companies put the same infinitesimal amount in your body, its nothing to be worried about?
That's because wait no nobody ever said anything even remotely like that, what the hell are you talking about you goddamn moron?
It could only be written in terms that the person writing it could understand. This could lead to simplification of concepts. For example, in the story of creation, seven days may not necessarily equate to seven 24-hour periods. It could just mean seven stages, where each stage could take years, centuries, millenniums, etc.
You know, even 4000 years ago, people did understand the concept of periods of time longer than a day.
Lots of CS programs these days are just glorified vocational schools, where you learn how to put two classes together to develop an Enterprise Solution. Most programming today is grunt work, but the reality of the situation has not quite caught up with the educational system.

The point is to let nerds look mystically clever on the internet, no?
2. *nix advocates dynamic linking. Windows has DLL-hell.
I like how you affix "hell" to the latter, as if the former didn't create far more problems for the user.
Most people download apps like Firefox because they are good. But most people don't know where to get more simmilarly good free apps.
This is mostly because there hardly are any.

Right, anybody can have an amazing installation system if they just limit it to party-approved software that they maintain themselves.
However, this is not very useful in the more general case, and neither does it scale.
Please, just because your imagination and sense of wonder is so limited, don't try to drag the rest of us down with you.
Thank you.

So... why are we supposed to care, again?
Not accepting bullshit arguments is trolling, now?
Back up your arguments with facts, or shut up.
Hardly an equivalent situation sans the impact damage from an airliner hitting the building, and the energy from burning jet fuel. Try again!
Is this like a combination of stego and throwing out chaff to confuse the radar? It's what it sounds like to me.
Unfortunately, that says more about you than it says about this system.
Anybody can create a cipher they themselves cannot crack. Did you do any real cryptanalysis of that system?
Maybe you should try to attack the actual method, and not the verbal description of it.
Slashdot "editors" do not "edit" posts. This makes Slashdot "more real" according to CmdrTaco.

Ok, sarcasm aside, please do point out an event similar to the one on 9/11 where the building did not collapse.
And what purpose would it serve, exactly, to investigate events that did not actually happen?
They set their model inputs to give them their expected outputs.
Are you suggesting they should have been picking parameters that did not produce the observed outcome?

Dear some guy,
You are a gullible moron.
It could only be written in terms that the person writing it could understand. This could lead to simplification of concepts. For example, in the story of creation, seven days may not necessarily equate to seven 24-hour periods. It could just mean seven stages, where each stage could take years, centuries, millenniums, etc.
You know, even 4000 years ago, people did understand the concept of periods of time longer than a day.
On the other hand, nobody does anything useful with those languages, so it doesn't really matter.
