> How are you going to pay them back the trillions of dollars you owe then if you're blown up?
So the cost of taking out the world leading military power / bully is a few trillion of there dollars? Could sound rather cheap....
Mind you.. more fund would just be to dump your US dollar reserves on the open market and watch there country implode on it's own as there economy pulls itself to pieces
As the price of a call is always >= the intrinsic value then the writer of any calls (deep in the money or otherwise) will be happy with the stock prices going down 15%
You hand edit all this stuff? I guess that's call job security - until you get a boss that knows what a computer is and gives you a month to sort your stuff out otherwise you're fired.
I'm not saying docker doesn't have it uses (I know of one place whos' build process actually automatically builds a cleaner docker image and this gets deployed to the farm) but a work around for writing good software isn't one of them
Just what I thought when I read this. Doom was released when people had dialup if they were lucky. You got Doom by getting the demo on the cover disk of a magazine.
In my head I was bundling this one up with a but I'll grant you this should be separate.
However this doesn't get away from "it's a cooking recipe site FFS!". The evil plot by ninja hackers to insert too much salt into peoples cooking recipes and thereby kill off the entire western world will be exposed at last.
I know people are going to talk about ads and tracking the cooking websites I go to so they can blackmail me of the chocolate browny recipes that I downloaded but this is just insane paranoia. Then the next group of people will say but how do I know that I'm getting the correct cookie recipe. Well I'm download a random recipe of the web written by someone I don't know from a website I just googled why should I trust this recipe at all HTTPS or not ? At the end of the day.. it's just a cookie recipe.
HTTPS does indeed authenticate the remote site via a chain a trust. This is why when you enter your banks address you can be confident that you really are talking to your bank and not a scam artist.
If you site only has recipes then you don't need HTTPS!
HTTPS does two things
a) Identify the remote site
b) Encrypt the traffic
If you are browsing recipes you do not need your traffic encrypted If you are browsing recipes then you need to be paranoid to require that a third party believes the remote site is who they say they are.
But the beta that contained this code was released to thousands of people. I'm a big company and I'm looking to buy Win3.1 when it comes out. I get given a beta to evaluate and on running it on my DR-DOS systems I get a "non-fatal error" but running it on my MS-DOS system doesn't give the warning. Hence, I feel uncomfortable about running DR-DOS with it (true FUD) so buy MS-DOS instead.
Now, what makes this smell bad is the fact that the code that did the tests a) Turned off debuging interrupts to make to harder to debug b) Was encrypted self-modifying code
In fact the code was very elegant but it still smells bad.
Yeh - and for the place I worked last summer I "invented 1-click technology" about I can assure you it didn't take 1000's of hours - maybe a couple of days from requirement to a working system.
If you look at the Top 500 supercomputers, the Hitachi supercomputer at some Japanese university has a fraction of the processors of any of the other Crays and is still up in the top 5 I believe.
But these are only the top 500 computers that people are happy for you to know about - they are slow, just puppies by 'other' standards. --
If you don't have GnuPG or PGP, get it now, and start using it!
Why - it's crackable in real time anyway - you just don't know about it yet. In fact, encrypting would help the powers that be a lot - sources and destinations of the communication become much easier to trace --
All told, the attacks cost the government and businesses more than $40,000, prosecutors said"
People are forgetting the fact that not only did they have to clean up the cracked web server (a simple task) but also ensure that he had not attacked other systems - this is the costly part of a cleanup. Reparing the actually damage is often very easy but first you have to ensure that you've found all the damage otherwise your cleanup efforted is wasted when the crackers come back next next using the security holes they created on there first visit. --
. (4) Your GUI has is too integrated into your kernel. A bad video driver crashed your machine.
But that gives you performance. Let's look at linux and all these frame buffers drivers sitting in the kernel now - a bad one of those and your system crashes - just you wait until hardware vendors start shipping linux frame buffer drivers for there video cards! --
What? Everyone knows coffee is hot! Do we really need to go around telling people
"Careful now - don't jump into the river - you might get wet"
"Make sure you don't stuff 3 chessburgers into your mouth at once - you might suffocate".
The person that should have been hosed down and nail to a wall is the stupid money grabbing woman that sued.
I feel sorry for her - it's a nasty accident - but that's just it. I suppose if McD's had served the coffee at a cool temperature she would have sued because the coffee was not hot enough and so she didn't perform at her optimum that day. McD's were right to fight this - it's just a shame that the Judge and the American legal system is so stupid. --
An operating system is... The kernel and related programs that enable a user to [log on and] execute other applications and that enable applications to access the standard hardware via device independant interfaces
This doesn't including a browser, text editor, compiler but *may* include the GUI. In fact, if you're operating system works but compiling every program on the fly then it would include the compiler as well.
If your operating system is for webTV then it would include the browser. --

Also remember that even though the offending code never shipped to consumers
In fact is was - it was just deactivated by default. It could be reactivated by changing a single byte in the binary.

Because they are ECC
No - they aren't ECC! ECC can self correct one bit errors, single bit parity RAM (which this is) can't.
Sadly - work also happens to block SSL azs well
1-click technology
Yeh - and for the place I worked last summer I "invented 1-click technology" about I can assure you it didn't take 1000's of hours - maybe a couple of days from requirement to a working system.
I think it's impossible because you're not smart enough to do it.
He was taking the piss I assume BTW
And if he wasn't - elks
Could you then get your kid to use the same hammer on nail on the 10 year old local kid to do some major damage?
Seems only fair.

Web server in the singular? There's more than one web server sitting there.
The more interesting question (maybe) is what hardware is it running on?
