He has a masters degree in systems technology and another in physics, according to his biography, in addition to an MBA and a BS undergrad, plus lots of experience in intelligence and counter-intelligence, including in active combat scenarios, according to his biography. I suspect he's probably more "technical" than a large swath of people here, not to mention the general public. Just because he says folks doesn't mean his 'non-technical', so stfu.
All the Mac, Linux and BSD-based workstations I use regularly have KeePassX installed, and I keep a mirror copy of the database on my IronKey, as well as synching up the critical personal information with the built-in Windows programm on the IronKey for if I need to use a Windows machine without KeePassX on it. I don't honestly know what the root passwords to my personal VPS servers, my account passwords, or any of my banking passwords are. I know the pass phrase for the ironkey, and the passphrase for the keepassx database. Everything else is randomly generated on my behalf.
Where are you going to find capable individuals willing to run into burning building to save strangers on half time for minimum wage? That's the most asinine thing I've ever heard. better to be a volunteer than a sucker.
Because the terms are probably written into the credit card agreements that no one reads when they open up the "pre approved for xxxxx" letters they get in the mail and go "wow, now i can get a new TV!"
Yeah, I played it and I thought it was fun. I'm just saying, I don't think it was revolutionary. It seemed to just be Doom + boobs. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, just saying holding it up on a pedestal as some sort of super-game is kind of pointless.
The date they want to hold the rally is 10 October of '10. I.E., 10/10/10, however they have the poster written with the date as 101010, which is binary for 42, which, as we all know, is the answer to life, the universe and everything. Its the ultimate truthy thing. It's the ultimate nerd thing. Only thing its missing is a sign saying "Repent! The Singularity is Nye!" with the Science guy himself staring everyone down like Uncle Sam.
They weren't even alive when Green Day last released an OK albumn and Kurt Cobain was still alive. Doesn't prevent them from pretending like they know what's up, though.
Duke Nukem 3D was Doom with strippers, porn posters and dirty jokes. If Doom and Leisure Suit Larry had an illegitimate love child, it'd have been Duke Nukem 3D. What was revolutionary about that?
I suspect that significantly fewer people used OS 9 than use iTunes, and considering its basically iTunes and the iPod that brought Apple back to life, there might be a slight bit more reluctance to admit that maybe it's gotten out of hand.
Although, I'm glad someone brought up the point about CD ripping. When iTunes first came out, the slogan was something like, "Rip. Mix. Burn," where as now its "buy everything off our store! cds are for squares!" Its kind of along the lines of the broadband advertisements of about the same time, which basically used Napster as a selling point for cable and DSL internet -- Cox saying "download music and movies at blazing speeds!". Apple and the broad band industry basically colluded to make piracy a selling point, then turn around and try and label everyone who engages in it now as some sort of social anathema or infrastructure hog rather than update infrastructure and/or software to meet the requirements of the new reality.
No, that's real economics. We're dealing with Hollywood Economics. All these movies lose money on purpose anyway so that they don't have to pay out profit sharing deals.
Meanwhile, the last week has marked the first time where there was really a valid excuse for apparently unmoving lines at Virginia DMV branches... glad I don't have to get my license renewed until 2017. They should be back up by then.
The profit earned by a movie isn't analogous to the personal income of an individual. How many people worked on a the film? They all needed to be paid. Equipment costs, travel expenses, etc. It seems to me that A movie is basically a short-lived, one-time-use corporation (although that sounds disturbingly similar to some sort of RICO thing). Compare the earnings to what you would expect a corporation employing that many people (Say, a few hundred) to earn over a 10-20 year period and its friggin' pathetic.
There is a difference between playing a "terrorist" and playing a member of a specific group, I guess. Just like there would be a difference between playing "generic German soldier" and a member of the 5th SS Panzer Division. Even when the army does exercises in which one side is to be the "OPFOR", it is my understanding that they stand in for some generic enemy rather than the Libyans or whomever.
Chess glorifies political and religious oppression and war, representing a system wherein common people and even low-ranking nobility are expected to give their lives for the life of a king who is basically useless. Maybe we should ban chess out of people who live in oppressive theocratic monarchies.
That just really seems completely backwards to me. Would not the "everyone else" who has never been in a DC cage be familiar with Linksys since that's what's been on the shelves at CompUSA and Best Buy all this time? I mean, Cisco is a big-name player in networking and technology, but you can't really accidentally buy their products.

IE, the UN "Telecom Chief" isn't abiding by the UN's alleged policies. I suspect he needs to be removed from his post. Of course, he won't be.
I just feel like Python support should not be the default option. Maybe that's just because I have no reason to use Python and don't rely on anything built with it. iTunes straight doesn't work without QuickTime. It'd be nice if you could have the media libraries without having the have the player, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I'm not saying that there was jury tampering. I'd be more likely to believe it if the kid was the son of the defendant than of the prosecutor. But if I were the defense attorney, I'd be mighty interested to find out if, for instance, the juror was facebook friends with any of the other jurors, when those relationships were established (did she go and search everyone else on the jury and try and add them to her facebook friends?), etc. Even if there weren't grounds for a mistrial, there might be something worth bringing up on appeal.

I bet there were dirty stories and FTP servers housing content before the Web was even a fully-realized thought. Long before.

... is the basic task setting up a Windows server, or tying a shoe? It's not clear from your post.

Exactly, and the REAL Google would know that, unlike this fake-ass Google knock-off going around trying to kill off the lactose intolerant.
Unless its Glenn Beck. I don't think anyone who isn't "one of them" can stand that crap for more than 5 minutes, if that.

My boss's 13 year old son has never owned a CD and apparently never seen a vinyl record. I'm only 26 and I don't like feeling that old. Stop it.

UN Declaration of Human Rights article 12 states:

What useful thing has the UN ever really done? I mean, really, honestly. They're useless at best, potentially hazardous at worst.

Yup, and if I lived in Manhattan, I wouldn't drive either. I don't even like driving, you just can't help it around here.
