    Watch that and _then_ post and tell me what you think of it!

    Sure... -1 Offtopic

    Now, I am willing to change my opinion, provided you completely answer my following two questions.

    1. What are your educational qualifications. Please list all relevant college degrees as well as the name of the institution which granted them to you. Feel free to list any papers you published on this topic.

    2. Please tell me what this has to do with MS demoing a datacenter in a shipping container, and why I should give a shit or a rats ass.

    Extra credit will be granted if you answer either question with interpretive dance. A video of you doing said interpretive dance on youtube will meat this requirement.

    Or better yet, just call it "Linux."

    The funny thing is that is what Linus has been doing since the begnning. It is his kernel, he named it Linux.
  8. Re:What's the draw? on Guillermo del Toro Will Direct "The Hobbit" · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think a more accurate analogy would be the following...

    if Tolkien was a network, then the Lord of the Rings would be Tolkien Ring. And The Hobbit would be 10 Base T.

    I find it more ironic that PETA killed 97% of all animals left in their care in 2006. (at least according to VA state records and http://www.petakillsanimals.com/ )

    all terrorists have to do is send enough people at the same time and the chances are, one will get through./blockquote
    Ah, the Mongolian Terrorist Horde technique.

    Of course, if terrorists were actually serious about an attack they could simply skip trying to get a bomb onto an aircraft and instead do one of the following:

    1. Shoot an aircraft down from outside the airport.
    2. Detonate an explosive device in front of a security checkpoint or ticket counter in the unsecure zone of the terminal during a busy time when the lines are long.

    if someone has the 1337z sk1llz to do this sort of thing, why aren't they using those skills to make a fortune

    No offense, but this isn't 1337. This is a script kiddie attack.

    Now, if someone with real "1337" skills did an attack, we would only find out years after the fact, if ever, and they would have gotten away with a fair sum of cash too.

  25. Hacker Ethics on Ethics In IT · · Score: 1

    Steven Levy wrote a basic set of rules commonly called the hacker ethic.

    In case you don't feel like clicking on the link, the Hacker Ethic is the following:

            * Access to computers -- and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works -- should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-on Imperative!
            * All information should be free.
            * Mistrust authority -- promote decentralization.
            * Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
            * You can create art and beauty on a computer.
            * Computers can change your life for the better.
