People who cheat at online games are less likely to have an ethical code than those who don't? News at 11.
What's an ethical code?
I used to hack the muds I played. I gave myself privileges as a coder that the game admin didn't intend me to have. That meant I could do more, and actually led to me becoming admin on two muds because I'd learned how they worked under the covers in order to subvert them, and that made me skilled in maintaining them.
Is that unethical or exploratory? Unethical or naive? Unethical or innovative?
Is it still unethical if I never disadvantaged another player? Never used my illicit access to give in-game resources to anybody?
Cheating at online games and an ethical code are pretty orthogonal. While 'are less likely' may just about be true it's got fuck all to do with "BREAK THE LAW".
Kids need space to experiment. Modding is a fucking excellent way to be creative, learn how complex modern systems work and gain skills that can open a rewarding career. Why not focus on that?
Hmm. OK, I'll give that a go. Last film I watched was 'Welcome to Me', and I didn't recognise any of the male actors except Tim Robbins, so lets pick the first male actor to appear below Tim on the cast list.. Alan Tudyk.
Hmm, well established actor. IMDB includes his date of birth. He has been in a few films I've seen, he's just not memorable to me.
Google time. "How old is Alan Tudyk?" Yep, you're right. Gives his age, then his date of birth, then a photo, and on the right it also tells me how tall he is.
Are/were they a pop band? A theatre group? The actual assassinated members of the Kennedy family?
I'm sure Google could answer these questions but I don't care. I just wanted to highlight to you that people exist that have a different cultural background to you so your 'Kids these days..' comment is pretty much translatable as 'Everybody that isn't a Dead Kennedys fan..' and covers people of all ages.
Sadly a quick scan across the IMDB discussions on films starring actors whose age deviates from their characters shows that audience reactions can be based very much on age, irrespective of whether the player was right for the role.
Audience reaction is correlated to film success, and Hollywood is very sensitive to film success.
Most people have many thousands beliefs and opinions. It's almost impossible that all of them will align with everybody that works in a given organisation.
There is no defense against a DDoS except bandwidth
Sure there are. - intelligent routing of the inbound traffic - intelligent handling and dropping of the inbound traffic - controlled service degradation - legal action - the criminal justice system - a B2 bomber improving its fuel efficiency by discarding excess baggage on the Cypriot dacha of the cunt behind it
I'm not even a security or network expert so I'm sure I've missed a few.
Given the behaviour of feminists and the constant attacks on men in education, the justice system, the civil courts and particularly online can you really blame men for not wanting to vote for Clinton, an acknowledged feminist?
I believe it's the inevitable consequence of Brexit - the next US president is really a hostage to the referendum results. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/u...
Sorry, at which point in that quote did Trump say he would use nuclear weapons?
Do you have any actual quotes that can't be easily dismissed as "pretty much the only thing any serious presidential candidate could say without either lying or removing the US nuclear defence" ?
Even ignoring the politifact political bias, there's a viewpoint that ignores what people say and look at what they do.
Forget Trump, just based on the 'what do they do' Clinton is utterly fucking unelectable by anybody with a shred of integrity, pride or desire to live in a decent world.
Red Bull is an interesting one though. They make their money through high margin fizzy water but they've also nurtured a brand that's intrinsically linked with extreme sports, and running their own racing team actually fits neatly into and extends that.
This is Apple about to publicly advertise that since they care so much about the environment, their bags will be more environmentally friendly than every one else's
At which point the ASA will slap them because they're quite obviously less environmentally than the unbleached recycled paper bags that also used less material because they didn't need the reinforcement.
A lot of their products are also the more attractive option.
USB cables are a serious fucking gamble with some horrifically low quality ones out there. Order by price and you'd better buy a dozen of the cheap ones to be sure one will work reliably.
Or order the Amazon own brand one. It's not the cheapest per unit, but it's the lowest price/hassle to get one that works.
Other products may vary, but going purely on price is always silly.

Which is in itself a failure of the legal system.

Well done California, you won that one.
More likely nobody's heard of the Dead Kennedys.

I hate to Godwin this but..
You have a better recommendation?
Just what should someone in Afghanistan do when a US drone strike kills her sister? Fucking celebrate?
I think that makes you a cunt and an idiot.
Most people have many thousands beliefs and opinions. It's almost impossible that all of them will align with everybody that works in a given organisation.
Your approach would prevent companies existing.
Russia didn't nuke you.
China didn't nuke you.
Seems to be working still.
Back then we all had limited computer resources. My mobile phone has more computing resources than six of the seven schools I went to - combined.
Oddly no. But I know some strange people.
Anyway, you appear to want the job. Inevitably that casts aspersion on you.

Oh, how witty. Your attempted sarcasm is however merely ironic:

Sure, that's the UK not the US. But your casual sexist racism shines through anywhere.

Trump operatives are like bucket loaders full of bullshit
Providing a self-sacrificial and valuable service to clean up the environment?
Spoiled ballot. Unless we can arrange a deathmatch and burn the winner?
1MB? How about 10KB?
I'm sat here using a 160Mbps link and still resent downloading a full megabyte for a single web page.

At least two hours after the first results came in. Took a while for the trends to show.
I'd vote for that. Shit, it'd overturn decades of anti-male legislation in an instant. Complete win on all fronts.
good engineering and true craftsmanship
In fairness, F1 racing pretty much compels this. You can't market your way onto the front row of the grid.
It is though an excellent point. Apple talk about innovation and engineering excellence, McLaren visibly deliver it.
Red Bull is an interesting one though. They make their money through high margin fizzy water but they've also nurtured a brand that's intrinsically linked with extreme sports, and running their own racing team actually fits neatly into and extends that.
