They just escaped the destruction of Sodom. It's not surprising their morals were a little messed up. The story isn't given as a how-to, but as a warning of the perils of accepting a corrupt society.
Actually, I'm going to have to disagree. The reality is that when people hunt and peck after many years of coding, it sometimes shows a deeper attitude of, "I can't be bothered." They can't be bothered to learn something other than VB, they can't be bothered to comment. They can't be bothered to use objects. They can't be bothered to learn the freaking API without re-inventing the.NET Framework. They can't be bothered to communicate...
So while I don't think 120 WPM is any better than 60 or even 40, I have definitely seen some other problems with hunt-and-peck typists (not all, but it's a red flag for sure).
But.NET applications compile Just In Time. So all they have to do is port the.NET framework and compiler and all.NET applications will work with almost no changes, especially if they virtualize the environment to make it look like a desktop (put a phony C: drive on an SD card, etc.)
Actually, there's a video of Mark Russinovich talking about all the changes they made to the kernel to make it more portable. They broke it into 3 layers: MinWin, Server and Full and cut any ties that went up or down between them. I would say it's more portable than ever.
I knew somebody who actually had their mortgage bank (a "small" shop) go out of business, but which sold all their loans off at a slight loss at the end before going bankrupt. The guy's file actually got lost in the office and the bankruptcy proceeded and completed without anyone finding it. The bills quit coming and nobody ever asked for money. He finally went to the courthouse and since the company had gone bankrupt without selling his loan, he owned the house free and clear.
I wouldn't hold my breath, but it's not without precedent.

I've met smart people who think that Internet Explorer is the Internet.
Nokia doesn't make any CDMA phones, so all of us on Verizon and Sprint never see them.
And anyway, I've never heard any co-workers say, "Wow! I love my Nokia Symbian phone!" That's never happened. But I have had dozens of co-workers rave about Android.
Go ahead. Try to build a power plant in California. I'll be back in 20 years to see if you succeeded in convincing them to let you use some rare spider's habitat and were able to pay all the fees to reimburse the environment...
Don't you remember when Governor Terminator was fined like $18,000 for trying to use alternative fuel?
Actually, over 200 civilizations have the same flood myth with similar details: one man (couple, family, etc.) is told by God that he will flood the entire earth. He builds a wooden vessel and survives (with or without animals) and everyone else dies. Even the man's name is Nue in Hawaii and Nuah in China.
This kind of correlation between people speaking different languages living in all continents is hard to ignore. Occam's razor says there was a global flood and the man (probably named Noah) saw everyone around him die and believed that God's forewarning saved him, at the very least.
Shouldn't they be filling up the cart and sending it to payment processing with phony (but numerically valid) credit card numbers? It's like a trifecta. Hitting Amazon, Visa and Mastercard all at once...
It started with the first commenter on the TechDirt article who "corrected" Mike Masnick. It turns out that Mike was correct and the poster inadvertently caused all kinds of problems for EasyDNS.

Ah, there you're wrong. They're Bank of America. Americans don't speak other languages...
With BofA's history? That'll cost more than a few thousand domain names...

No, you haven't.

MOD PARENT UP. This is so true. The longer I work in IT, the more I see of Network Admins casting "magic spells" that they have no idea what they do.
Say, "You could win a car" at a mall and you'll get thousands per hour.
Akamai hosts servers at each local ISP or Phone or cable CO. Anon may have taken a few down, but 99% of people still wouldn't have noticed.
Actually, they are sending you to Visa or Mastercard's servers. That's why it didn't work during the DDOS.

Yes. And they have a virus that runs Windows...

What's the difference?
Thanks, I'll be here all week. Try the veal...

I think when there's little due process in "actual" justice, people start cheering on mob justice.

I believe that Bolt and Up are through Starz...
As for streaming errors, one time I had an indie movie that didn't have audio.
That's what DVRs are for.
