Are you a Christian? If you're not, and you're not even an atheist theologian, how the hell do you understand and/or interpret the Christian religion well enough to regurgitate little out-of-context snippets of it at others in judgement?
And if you are a Christian, don't you know that we all have our own cross to bear, i.e. butt out on judging others. That's for your God to do.
For people who subscribe to an atheist philosophy that we are just another animal species, it should be simple. They shoot sheep-killing dogs, don't they? Why should vermin-scale humans be spared?
I'll take that chance. My chance of winning the lottery and living the rest of my life as a multimillionaire are greater.
You're welcome to consider me a hypocrite if and when I 'change my tune.' I happen to think it's worth it to society for me to agree to a deal like this, since the odds are so good. Many, many other people will as well.
My idea of a humane execution would be a random euthanization at some point over a span of, say, several years. While the criminal is asleep. Let him go to sleep every night wondering.
Make it completely painless, which wouldn't be at all difficult.
Also, provide said criminal with the means to commit suicide if he so chooses.
Did the European companies refuse to sell the drugs, or did the European Union ban the companies from selling the drugs? What is there to stop a third party from buying the drugs and importing them into the US? Oh, you mean the property rights of any possible third party that might want to do so were infringed on??
More like: they thought it was a good thing to ban a simple glass tube with a filament in it and replace it with a circuit board with electrolytic capacitors and a glass tube with mercury vapor in it?
If you're eating ramen, you should look into a better quality of ramen. A local grocery store (WalMart, actually) has ramen in two sections of the store: the 'cheap instant food' section has the cheap ramen, and the 'Asian Foods' section has much higher quality ramen. The better ramen is more expensive (about a dollar per package) but much better and actually a meal.
The good ramen noodles come with two or three foil packets. One has the same powder/salt as the cheap noodles, then there is one with the dried vegetables/mushrooms, and sometimes one with a paste (miso).
The 'good' ramen noodles, meaning the ones packaged for the Asian market, are so much better than the 'cheap' ramen that they're really a different category of food, IMHO.
just change the &user=foo to &user=bar. That really is "in plain sight" as far as web exposure goes
Not if Mozilla has their way. They keep obfuscating URLs, sort of vigorously, actually, in Firefox. Granted, there's a setting to turn the address bar back to the URL in mobile Firefox. For now.
Well kids, now you know what the smart thing is to do: don't run pen tests against websites without permission.
Similarly, don't walk down the hall in apartment buildings you don't live in wiggling the door handles. Sure, it's just innocent fun, and you were just doing it so you could write letters to the addresses of doors you found unlocked warning them, but it looks bad.
they repay him by having the cops toss him in the clink.
To repeat again. He was not arrested or 'tossed in the clink.'
The technique of repeating something that is untrue over and over and over again is called the 'Big Lie.' It was a cold war propaganda technique.
Possibly now that he was reported to the police, he will become a go-to person for the police when they need help on computer/cracking issues. He's certainly a person of interest to them now. But then again, as it says in the title of this topic on Slashdot, he is a 'security researcher.' Researchers publish their work. Shouldn't published research be free (we hear that every day on Slashdot). So the police should be entitled to know what he's researching.
Design your own x86 multi-core CPU, throw a couple of gigs of SRAM on the ASIC, tons of flash for a solid-state disc drive, and you will have a complete high-end PC on a chip. Then add your software.
That's utterly ridiculous. It's like if someone wanted a doughnut-making machine. So they built a city, and in one of the neighborhoods they built a factory that could make doughnut machines.
I replaced a microcontroller with a dual op-amp and some passives in a design when they told me the OTP microcontroller was too expensive. The CPU was about 20 cents. A dual op-amp was less than one cent.
This is the age of computers, and things are possible (at an implementation level) that were never viable at any previous time in Human History.
Only until the power goes out, and even then, only to the degree that solenoids and various other electromechanical mechanisms can be skillfully interfaced to them. Otherwise, computers are just glorified light bulbs.
But Bitcoins are a cool and somewhat interesting use for computers. If you can't afford good electromechanical mechanisms.

Thank you for your opinion. Please, though, acknowledge it as only thus.
Also, you just kicked a whole bunch of people out of 'society.' Thank goodness it was just your imagination at play.

Are you espousing Christianity? Your posting history doesn't suggest this. Please don't cut-and-paste snippets of a religion you don't subscribe to.
There are always a number of people who will disagree with any point that anybody else makes.
That's just how it works.
Cutting off their money supply is tempting. Both parties oppose elements within their own who attempt to do that.
that tax money could go toward renewable energy R&D.
Sure, it would. You don't know much about how Congress works, do you?

It's refreshing when a Metric/Imperial troll only gets one A.C. to respond.
Naw. We'll bomb the foreigners with bombs made out of coprolite.
If you don't understand how a dual op-amp and passives can be made into a 'moderately complex system' then stick to your expensive DSP processors.
Ask to be asked.
Good old-fashioned salesmanship.
It's not passive-aggressive enough to count for geek cred, I know...
Actually, they were in a heavy Facetime(tm) session together.

Hardware can be made to implement ANY functioning software.
Sure it can. Even if it involves huge, huge diode arrays and many pounds of solder.

Is Bitcoin Magazine high capacity? Can it be 3D printed?
