"and fire-fighter training should involve learning how to set fires."
But... they DO learn how to set fires in the arson investigation squad and with the same theory as Ledin. His whole point is that in order to fight viruses you need to be able to think like the programmer. Many professions use equivalent techniques for training purposes.
His student made a clear enough point in the article: "You can't really have a defense plan if you don't know what the other guy's offense is"
And there I thought my maturity level was through the roof with all that tickly action.
In all seriousness, though, That calculation just blew up part of my brain. Not that I was using that particular area, but still.
Maybe I'm just sleepy or suffering from Mt. Dew withdrawal, but I don't get why anyone would buy such a phone unless it were to be used as a gag gift... A really expensive gag gift. And just how the crap DO you disable it when you realise you just dropped your phone in the couch? No longer able to tolerate the shrieking ear abuse, do you just kill yourself? Is there no end?
I mistook your intent in that first part-- sorry!
I currently work full time and and am taking this semester off (switched from one FT job to another w/ better pay + moved) to focus on other things. I keep thinking about changing my major to something less popular with hopes of future income security. It's not so much the debt that worries me as it's the fact that I'm spending money that could be used to contribute to the down payment on a new home.
It's just one of those things where you have to weigh thinking about now with thinking about the future. Like social security. I pay for it, but will it really be there when I get old and 'decroded' at 65?
I'm more than pro-animal rights/anti-animal cruelty, but throwing molotov cocktails at people's houses is just wrong. There is no reason to attack families. I'm not suggesting this, but why not just bomb the research facility or something?
Humans are animals too. Bombing that family would have harmed more than done good. It's just sickening the extent some people go to to prove a point.
You don't like animal testing. Would you like to not be able to see? If people didn't know how the eyes worked, you wouldn't have contacts or glasses. Sure humans aren't volunteering but that's just the way it is. I's like me saying, "I hate that they cut so many trees down in this neighborhood," as I go home, walking on cherry wood floors, sitting on solid oak furniture and living luxury at nature's expense.
I'm for the environment... That doesn't mean I'm going to get rid of my computers and bomb Dell/HP/Microsoft, etc.
That's what I hate about these extremists. As musch as I hate it, animal testing is going to happen to help secure the existance of humanoids. These people flip over animal testing, yet wouldn't be arsed to move out of their houses and apartments to live in the woods with their dearly beloved bunnies and rats.
Thank you.
People only want to hear the parts of the story that make their side seem the victim that fought back & overpowered the evil enemy.
The US may not be outright attacking civilians like in Nagasaki & Dresden now, but it's happened in the past and will most likely happen in the future. The US government is as much a terrorist as anyone else because of the things it has done. Sure we seem less guilty/aggressive now (we're just defending ourselves now apparently) but we still have the same religious radicals, racially-motivated hate terrorists, and now the I-love-animals-more-than-humans-so-much-that-I'm-g onna-bomb you terrorists.
There are plenty of people who actually have to have both parents working to make ends meet, too, particularly those without a college education and the aptitude to get one.
Please tell me you don't think having a college degree automatically guarantees financial excess/stability. I know quite a few people with college degrees that don't make enough to live off 1 spouse's income and take care of children. It's not just people who don't go to college. There's plenty of professions that just do not pay as much as you would like them to or think they would. Once upon a time, Graphic Designers made a nice chunk of change. Now they don't. So if mommy and daddy are both designers, then mommy quits to take care of baby Timmy who's helping pay the mortgage, home+car insurance, groceries, car payment, utilities...
Not everyone who went to college is raking in the dough.
(I was in school wondering how much money I was wasting whilst "preparing myself for the future.")
I'm going to have to disagree on one point. When taking notes, whether via paper or laptop, I actually pay attention. My brain absorbs the lecture as I type, just as well as if I were writing. Typing just happens to be faster and more efficient. I think it's better than shorthanding and missing chunks because I'm writing too slow or sloppy (to catch up).
People equate computers to laziness too often. I think of them as assistants in efficiency. You can't mindlessly use a computer (well, calculators are exceptions) because you're controlling it.
That's my two cents.

They don't ask because the search bar has a drop-down menu and you can add more to the drop-down list if you don't like the options that are present.
Don't forget deodorant.

Duly noted and seconded, but scratch "internet" for "p2p" in general. It's so simple to just pop in a 4gig flash drive.

I just got grrly wood. Yay for me.
