It is actually not a particle like a photon, but only information that is teleported. Just in case your next question is "doesn't this mean we can communicate at the speed of light?" you must have a classical information channel as well in order to make sense of the teleported information.
I'm a mostly-Windows (some Netware and Linux, also AS/400, which does support Perl, however I stay the fuck away from that system...) admin and the only language I use is Perl. I don't know if that's normal but it was easy to learn and implement in a short period of time; I can't see using anything else for scripting now that I've learned it.
My claim is that of the two techs mentioned (Wine and.NET), one enables migration from Windows, the other prevents it.
And Mono now negates that last part you said since it allows you to move.NET code over to *nix, so, relating to the actual discussion of Mono, what exactly is your point again?
I don't know what it is, and maybe this is a little too personal, but I freaking love the sound of potato chips being crunched. Even better is the sound that really thin sheets of ice make when you step on them slowly in the winter.
researchers claim that they have been able to take down every system with a TCP/IP stack that they have attempted
Last time I checked, that includes Unix and BSD. Not only does it include BSD, but since the XP TCP stack literally is the BSD stack, I think youre point is pretty irrelevant.
So there's no easy way to scrub the thing before selling it, or to be sure it was scrubbed.
Bullshit. I can't tell if you're defending the admin who let this go or not, but it kinda sounds like you're blaming the vendor for this. No fucking way is it acceptable for something like this to happen, even if Cisco came out and said "there is absolutely no way to scrub this device, it will retain it's configuration forever no matter what you do." Don't sell the device. Put it in a closet and write "destroy" on it with a sharpie. Or just fucking telnet into it and wipe the config! Jesus, if you need a button to make sure your networking devices are configured correctly, I truly hope you don't actually manage a network. Sorry if I come off as an ass, but your comment just does not make sense. If you really feel like you need to work with Cisco shit, at least read this first.
Do we have any filtering process here at all? its not just wrong summary, its completely wrong.
Maybe you should do some filtering yourself; not all of the items are linked to Google Maps.
This one for Boston is linked to Google, but I can't find a blurry area anywhere near the coordinates, though I'll admit I have no clue wtf a natural gas terminal looks like. FTA:
Liquid Natural Gas Terminal in Chelsea, Mass. and a Large Portion of an Industrial Port Area in Boston: Both of these areas are blurry on Google Maps.
if they have a clean copy to compare with diff, then why wouldn't they have just used that disc image for the shipped discs?
Are you asking why an OEM with their own, custom tailored restore disc with their own, in-house written custom apps and drivers matching their custom hardware would not ship a vanilla restore disc with their systems?
I will give it to you that diff probably would not be the best solution since it would generate a lot of leftover files that would have to be manually audited, I was just responding to the parent for saying something so ridiculous
When was the last time that anyone checked every file on a CD when it's say, a windows restore? Yeah. Nice job dipshit. Think before you talk. What human actually knows every file that's supposed to be on there?
diff -r, dipshit.
If doing this kind of quality control doesn't seem trivial and normal to you, then congrats; you don't work in the IT field.
That's exactly what I'm trying to say; that selling a pirated game should not equal $150000/game. I think that is really, really excessive; that it doesn't fit the crime. Absolutely selling pirated games is criminal and wrong, and of course there should be penalties, but that's my opinion, and I don't think it's unreasonable
break the law, you pay the consequences for a long time
Really? how long did it take you to pay the consequences for the last speeding ticket you got? Did you get charged $150,000 for breaking the law and putting peoples' lives at risk? You're right though, we should treat this guy like a corporate fraudster, or someone who manufactures drugs. There definitely should not be any discretion with regards to criminal punishment. Maybe this guy should get a lethal injection, I mean, murderers break the law too! Your logic is amazing, QED.
In my view, pirating a game and not selling it is OK
Care to elaborate? Someone put their hard work, sometimes years of their life into a product and it's "OK" for you to enjoy that product in it's entirety without compensation to the creator, and more and more, the artist?
You're a crook and deserve to be punished. Period.
You don't think that there's a difference between justly punishing someone and ruining their life by making them pay $150k for each $60 game they sold? I believe that there should absolutely be repercussions, but they should be appropriate to the crime. I feel like your "period" comes a little too soon in this matter.

it's only Photons that have been 'tele-ported'

...of an obscure product...
The only things I can think of that would make someone say something like this are:
You're not a systems administrator
Your new to systems administration
You're a bad systems administrator
You don't keep up with grade-A open source enterprise solutions
you work for a company that has a budget big enough that you don't ever consider open source

Are you sure? Maybe that's just your state; I'm 90% certain that at least in Maryland an operating system has to be 18 in order to buy cigarettes.

Dude, this question is pretty irrelevant, I mean, when would a situation like that ever arise?

does that mean the entire state is enslaved (including the DMV itself)?
Yes.
Nope, does the same screwed up backspace as the backspace key.
If I had a genie, my first wish would be for a sarcasm HTML tag.
Just telnet in and use SMTP commands.

The article also states that they are seeking statutory, not punitive damages.
damages ranging from $30,000 to $150,000 for each infringement of each copyrighted videogame.

Now I really want to bring my cat to work. "Kitty no! Get out of the AS/400!"
I agree, tell us more about this genetic disorder.
