  3. Re:Hahahahaha....But Wait! on New Evidence Strengthens NSA Ties To Equation Group Malware · · Score: 0

    I was thinking just about the same thing.
    Why don't hackers call their projects "8d 7d 6c 05" or "33 02 ba 9c" in source code constants?
    Why would they even include any non-essential things in the code at all?

    Remember nimda virus ? (thats admin backwards)

      NIMDA was a polymorphic plague of a virus that hit out network right after 9/11/2001.

    It would write itself all over every file on the disk drive until the drive was full and everything came to a screeching halt. It exploited the NT web service that was active by group policy default on client boxes with NT and or Win 2000. Anyway, our software engineers looked inside the Nimda.dll and there was some jihad "Death to America, Death to Israel" crap commented right into the file!!

    I'm sure that was the NSA's earlier work, as they took over most domestic networks just to be on the safe side....

    After all, traditional marriages are arranged by the parents, per dowry arrangements and negotiations. Parents of the bribe, I mean bride, must pay life's savings to marry off daughters. You must avoid getting stuck with feeding her and her illegitimate children for your entire life. If you can manage to marry her off, then even if her husband dies first, the custom dictates that she must throw herself on her dead husband's burning corpse as part of the ritual funeral ceremony, If he can't feed you you're better off burned alive then left over to the throngs of dudes. Many female babies seem to suffer greater mortality for some reason that defies standard statistical deviation....

    Some of us want to pepper a whore's cunt with cocaine and ride her up and
    down that imaginary line between bathroom and bed while listening to Death
    Metal that is so mind-blowingly loud, it is warping the hood of your prius
    that is parked outside. Then we get drunk, then all of our friends come over
    for more of the same. We scream, we fight, we fuck, we get so high from pills
    and powders, snorting and taking a hit off of the mystery pipe until fucking 5am
    in the morning. That's when we're out in front of the house pissing our bladders
    empty and calling you names before we head to a diner for bacon & eggs!

    I am sorry if that somehow takes away from your weekend of smoking weed

    Disclaimer: My kids attend public school, but I do a lot of supplemental home schooling on the weekends, focusing on stuff the schools don't teach

    ...Aha! Perhaps therein lies the answer: The parents.

    Education is best implemented with effective parenting, but rarely benefits the student without it. The Family's value for learning has more to do with the success and/or failure of a child's education than the quality of the school or the faculty. In other words, an education will be as effective as the parents ability to instil its value to the child. Rewards and incentives transform over time, and each student is ultimately self motivated regardless of the quality of carrots and sticks. In a sense, all schooling is ultimately home schooling. Perhaps the school provides the extra-curricular opportunities of most value; beyond the minimum public standard of curricula.
