Well, he's the normal "establishment republican," not the tea party kind of guy, at least from the dealings I've had with him (I'm sorry to say, I'm a former lobbyist). I think a lot of the tea party folk actually, honestly believe they could cut pork. Of course, that's mostly a delusion they'll be quickly disabused of if any of them actually win next month.
Yeah, but they're made in China and the sprinkles metabolize into GHB in your system, which would work out well for frat boys, except the frosting is led-based.
No, hardcore conservatives get As from the NRA. Any random curmudgeonly jackass can get a 0% from the ACLU and try and cut off Planned Parenthood. Wolf is from my home state, although is not my representative. His district is west of DC, then goes out to WVA and that area. If he was really a hard-core conservative in the Tea Party sense, then I think he'd lose a lot of votes due to the number of defense contractors and other government employees who live in his district. They may like guns in a large portion of his district, but they're rather reliant on pork.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a real Joe Sixpack to comment on the issue, so I payed this unemployed liberal arts major to pretend to be one instead...
They already had ICBMs at this point, and a lot of the first space rockets were just re-purposed missiles. Don't forget, the space programs of both the US and the USSR were boostrapped with captured German scientists and technologies. We road to space in the wake of the V2.
What part of Virginia are you in that you're insinuating the roads are any good? Even the Federal interstate infrastructure around Hampton Roads, which is chock full of military bases, is dilapidated crap with a gazillion choke points 'cause they won't just bite the bullet and fix the damned tunnels.
I wish Warner and and Webb would bring home some road bacon, 'cause right now we're getting shafted.
No, its not "more useful" to us. It's a stupid grammar hack that people think is funny. It's the FIPS 10-4 code for Libya -- https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/List_of_FIPS_country_codes -- and I'd argue that keeping with in FIPS and ISO standards is more "useful" than being able to have the domain going-swimming.ly or whatever stupid shit the kids are doing these days in goatse.cx-like fashion.
Well, I was mostly addressing the fact that if someone was able to "hack" a facebook account, there is a high probability that the account password will match the email account that is associated with the facebook account.
It's the users' fault for re-using passwords which aren't that great, and its the users' fault for posting all their personal data on facebook, too. So, yeah, its the users' fault. It usually is.
Probably because he was acting against a private employer and "industrial espionage" isn't the same thing as KGB agents infiltrating the Pentagon. Espionage is what you charge foreigners with with since you can't nail them for treason. Wire fraud is probably closer to what he was actually doing.
That was at my last job. I left for other reasons. But if it's a cross between infrastructure building/projects/expansion, or slogging against punk-ass mailers, I'll choose the digging through Perl to the playing whack-a-mole against the spammers.
There were a lot of projects and other tasks that got delayed or just died because we were too busy doing crap like that.
That's exactly what a spammer would say. Spam costs real people real money. Email is already a fairly heavily I/O bound process, especially at volume. I've seen spam floods kick a server from a load of 2 to a load of 15, and banning the sending IPs dropped the load immediately, but only once we figured out it was email that was causing the issue. After that incident, that became the first thing I'd check, if it weren't completely obvious that it was a problem account on the server (I was an admin at a web hosting company at the time).
The majority of my day as spent dealing with spam, either incoming or out going, sometimes from hacked accounts and other times from "email marketers" who would get entire/24's entered in spamhause and then keep legitimate email from being processed. That included personal correspondence, and a lot of times business mail from customers on vps or dedicated servers, who just happened to have the misfortune of having an IP in a block that got a bad reputation because of some douchebag.
Then, those people call into support, who of course can't do anything about it except come bother the admins. Then we have to find a new IP address that hasn't been tainted, reconfigure the mail server to use it, waste an IP in the process, and hope to stop the cause of the issue and get the old IP de-listed before we have to start all over again.
Spammers should be drawn and quartered. They are the worst, most vile people ever. If Francisco Franco molested baby kittens, he'd still not be as bad as a spammer.
While there are a lot of tools that are basically just a Python or Perl script providing a GUI take makes a lot of system() calls to execute commands, thus serving as a front-end, there are also plenty that are writing the configurations directly, or which -are- the program. I think this is more often the case where binary configuration files are used, which thankfully is rare in *nix world.
IMO, the big issue with trying to tack a GUI front-end onto a system, particularly post-facto, is that you only get so much space to pack your widgets, which means you only have so many options you can fit before you get completely unusable. That means, particularly for more advanced configurations, the GUI will usually fall short compared to just entering a series of command-line configuration commands, or editing the config file by hand.
40 is probably close to the median life span, so I'm not sure I wouldn't call it "normal" -- just maybe, less than optimal in a country that has the ability to transplant a robotic heart into someone.
Yes. The BSD license was a consequence of being the product of a public university, receiving federal funds to work on projects. Even without the GPL, I suspect it is highly likely that the BSD license would have been created as-is anyway.
The BSDs would exist without the GPL. Of course, getting to use GCC helps. Of all the things that RMS is responsible for, GCC is the only one I really use in any meaningful way. I think the majority of GPL software that I use isn't actually GNU or sponsored by the FSF, it just happens to be GPL. But the majority of my platform isn't GPL: - FreeBSD is BSD licensed - Apache is Apache (basically BSD) licensed - PostreSQL uses a modified BSD-style license - Perl is dual licensed with either the Artistic License or the GPL, depending on which you want to accept - BIND is BSD licensed
I'm not particularly reliant on any GPL-based software other than GCC. That is the crux of my argument. Don't confuse "open source" with "free software" with the GPL.
You know Bill Gates was a trust fund baby from Ivy League, lawyer parents and grand parents and wasn't going to be poor even if MS didn't take off, right? His is more of a story of 1000-thread-count linen to most-expensive-silk-from-China.

I'm sure you're being sarcastic, but I don't actually see the problem with that.

And Watergate was a case of not enough oversight... so yeah, these are pretty much exactly the opposite of each other.

Luckily, we're constantly within the War on Terror, the War on Drugs, and the War on Common Sense. Treason for everybody!

To be fair, we are probably talking about people who use the same password for everything.

Ash did just fine. Maybe we just need to get this guy a chainsaw hand?

Fucking pronouns, how do they work?
Where there any sponsored ads to buy her on eBay? Inquiring minds want to know.

25 million pounds Sterling, and protection from extradition. The last part is probably more important than the actual payout.
how can you tell the difference between a library and a bathroom? the bathroom is where the ayn rand books are located.
