I think that you missed the point. [...] this guy should get get on the bandwagon and get a cell phone.
And that would, in your parent's mind, equate to giving up his rights to privacy in practice due to underhanded governmental practices. How do you make yourself accept that? "I've got nothing to hide"?
At the expense of many human lives and a non-trivial amount of resources dedicated to waging the war (i.e. building tanks instead of more cars for the people).
If you believe in relativistic ethics, you have to ask how many lives and resources would be saved if the war isn't waged, and which of the benefits of might be reaped. You'd also do well to consider what can be gained by spending the war money anyways, but on gaining the benefits without war instead of through war.
I put my [ascii-fied] full name in my username (everywhere), mail address and DNS name. I sign my email. Once I set up my "Digital Signature" [PKCS #n keypair certified by the official danish CA], I'll probably sign my mail with that.
By spreading my name around, given that it's [almost] unique, people can get in touch with me even when all the information grows stale.
Imagine the loss of human lives that might have occurred if he had been satisfied looking at tits on the internet.
Fathers, encourage your sons to find ways to take a peek at the girls in the gym room. Someone's life may depend on it. If nothing else, your future grandkid's;)
Germany serves as a reminder of what will happen to a country if you vote far-left too long.
Your facts are not the facts of reality. If you read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chancellor_of_Germany you will see that since 1949, you'll see that there are five from CDU (centre-right), three from SPD (left) and one from FDP (centre-right). If you look at the federal presidents, it's five-two-two.
That's great, guys, but don't you think being proud that you were right about your code being exploited is... backwards?
I think it's even worse that they're proud that they're right about their code being exploited when they did worse than chance. They were more wrong than right, and they claim they did well.
FTFA (edited but staying true to the point):
Of the nine October vulnerabilities marked "Consistent exploit code likely," four did end up with exploit code available. None of the nine tagged "Inconsistent exploit code likely" had seen actual attack code. Microsoft correctly called the four bugs last month tagged with "Functioning exploit code unlikely."
So they got eight right, out of twenty-two: 8/22. If we give them one third credit for the maybe-exploits not having full-blown exploits, they're still only at 11 out of 22.
Here's my security advice: if you want to know whether a bug will be exploited, flip a coin.
I'm better than Microsoft, and I only charge the coins you use to flip for each bug:p
if you cant learn to stick up for yourself as you are growing up god forbid when it comes time to step into the real deal where people are cut-throat just put a nicer face on it.
Let's have a Skinnerian look on this: rewarded behavior is repeated, punished behavior is not. Behavior that elicits no response, either good or bad, is not repeated, but that's learned slower.
To make bullying stop, you either have to not respond at all, or to punish the bullies. How could you punish them? Beat them up? I've done that a few times, doesn't work; plus, you get punished for it when people tell on you. Call them names? They don't care. Break their stuff? They'll enact their revenge. They're always better armed than you, because there are more of them. When ever you try standing up for yourself, they tread on you some more, and the "justice" system treads on you as well.
Then you can do nothing. That makes you an easy target, and it means you effectively don't mind them calling you names, punching your lunch out of your hands and onto the floor, breaking your stuff and being violent towards you.
You're saying that people should either fight an unwinnable war, or let themselves be conquered without offering any resistance. Right?
And that's the main problem with assholes, they don't even realize that they're assholes.
And the people who treat them poorly for it obviously don't learn the lesson: the assholes don't stop being assholes just because you treat them bad.
Punishment works much better if the target knows what the punishment is for. That way, they can stop doing the things that annoy people and stop getting the punishment. [psychologists call this ambiguous attribution, I think, just in case you want to google for something].
I think it would be much more effective to tell people that "you're doing this. It annoys me; here's my perspective: I want a quiet environment in my room so I can prepare for the exam. You want to listen to music of some volume while you study. Your music goes through the walls, and disturbs my concentration. Do you want to come up with some arrangement that satisfies both of us reasonably well?"
Very few people want to be assholes [I'd think]. If you tell people what they're doing you don't like and why you don't like them doing it, you have a better chance of changing their behavior than if you treat them poorly.
If you treat them poorly, doesn't that make you an asshole towards them, which justifies their being an asshole towards you?
But I would worry less about what you'll get paid as an intern and more about what kind of experience you'll be getting and networking/employment opportunities after the internship is over.
If you've submitted three or more patches to FOSS projects, don't do it for the experience.
It's pretty much what you're used to: write the patch, discuss it on irc/mail for review, commit the patch, repeat. Submit bugs to bugzilla, read the wiki for documentation that no one has written or organized [but don't worry, it's coming out as soon as you don't need it anymore].
Your new experiences will be more in the area of morning meetings and free coke.
Whatever you would make as an intern would be a pittance anyway, so don't pass over long-term prospects just to make a couple hundred dollars extra.
Thirty to forty bucks per hour isn't exactly bad. Someone I know has as plan B an after-graduation job that pays something around that [not in the same field, but it goes to show that you're paid something resembling real money].
This is in Denmark. This is my unique experience. YMMV.
Generally you only see this mistake from 14-year-old "web developers" whose qualifications all come from adding animated GIF background images to MySpace profiles.
They come in older varieties too. I wanted to play in a band that had a page of that sort...:(
[hello, $NAME; I love your music, but please don't suck 100% of my cpu on rendering a background image that makes the page harder to read; while it looks great, a static background would also look great...]

Why don't we just throw the Constitution right in the garbage while we're at it?
In practice, hasn't Bush done that already?
War can produce a lot of good things

.nvsblstlkr is of course "Invisible Stalker". All the extensions are disemvoweled names from the monster manual. Yes, I ar teh nerd ;)
You shouldn't laugh too loudly, Renegade88.

The article itself seemed jsut as focused on armor which you generally do not use to sneak up on anybody.
And I still don't understand why the [DM]oD won't fund my research project into silent hovertanks :(

There are few countries which take as many precautions as we do.
Could that be because the countries which have the technology required to take the same precautions don't go to war as much?
640 sextomegaseptohectodekakilooctohectooctodekasextum *gasp* comma something bytes ought to be enough for everyone.
That depends; do you get beer with the sandwich?
I don't.
It's understandable, the keys is all right next to each other.
Thanks, you owe me a new irony detector. Couldn't you just have said 'hi'?
Turns out it's Executable Loader File.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELF says it's "Executabe and Linkable Format".
It was the first time I had come across .elf files and thought it was a specific extension.
Ever noticed .orc or .hmn? How about .dwf, .hbt or .gnm? .kbld, .trgldt, .bhldr, .drgn or .nvsblstlkr? ;)
And don't you start a flame war between a GNOME pyrotechnician and firebreathing KDE dragon, okay? :P
Twilight Princess? Elf Loader?
Come on! Everyone knows that there's isn't a single elf in the Zeldaverse.
Call me when they have a Hylian Loader.

Larry> Too bad there isn't any market demand for guys who masturbate :-(
lol ;)
Also, wrong. There's sperm banks.
Unfortunately they only accept a limited number of wads per donor. Why unfortunately? Imagine meeting a friend's friend at a party:
Larry> Hi, I'm Larry.
Jonas> 'Jonas.
Larry> So, what do you do for a living?
Jonas> I'm a programmer; how about yourself?
Larry> I'm a wanker.
So, now, do you think this is bad?
I think it's pretty bad that without thinking, just by flipping coins, you can do better than them: http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1029297&cid=25763435

For instance tech savvy individuals with no life can get together and ...
