Given who they put onto their abuse council (whatever the fuck it's called) I'm fairly confident that (1) is a far higher factor than you give it credit for.
This is where it gets silly though. The evidence suggests that the issue isn't that developers don't have easy access to resources that help them to secure 'things', it's that they don't even bother to try.
True, but by the time you need to be building that level of security into the system you're going to need to be a domain expert anyway.
Most programmers write websites and business systems. Let the libraries deal with the difficult bits and code 'properly' to cover the rest. Even stuff like cross-site scripting or SQL injection is mostly covered by 'code properly' and 'trust no inputs'; too many people sadly fail even at that level.
Hmm. Writing a secure system is relatively easy. Unless you want it to receive arbitrary inputs.
Then it's a matter of trusting nothing.
If you do have to trust something (e.g. a firmware update) then that's where life gets interesting. Very few programmers ever need to get that complicated though.
Defensive programming techniques are straightforward and generally just require the programmer to be a cynical untrusting bastard.
Any programming course should tell you to validate your inputs. Beyond that, just put on your twisted bastard hat and think how to break your own system; only a handful of people worldwide can come up with the really serious hacks like monitoring temperature differentials within the CPU to break wifi encryption keys, and nobody teaches you how to defend against them anyway.
From 40 miles out, it is enough time to get your fighter planes in the air to combat the stealth planes.
By the time you've merely communicated the command to take off, the vector and the altitude, half of those 40 miles have already been covered by an attacking aircraft.
These are military attack aircraft, not pushbikes.
Although since the Russian economy isn't great, their pilots wont get the same level of training airtime and will likely struggle in an early-conflict combat situation.
There's a reason the UK keep winning conflicts despite seldom being the best equipped army out there.
Yeah, they kept giving him shit for his supposed racism but keep putting out job ads that state 'no white people'.
BBC are now cunts and although I still enjoy the programming more than other channels and greatly appreciate the lack of adverts, they need a proper fucking rebuild to eliminate the bigots.
copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my MacBook Air, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this PC, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
Lets see. 1.7GB file (so a little larger than your scenario, sorry), copied from one disk to another (so will take a little longer than your scenario, sorry). 11.19 seconds.
How the fuck does it take two minutes on a Macbook Air, let alone 20 minutes on anything?
I'm guessing the issue here isn't the operating system. This feels like a wetware issue.
. Obviously the police killed her AFTER SHE SHOT AT THEM WITH A 12 GAUGE. That's completely 100% justifiable.
No, it's not. They opened fire first; they were trying to kill her before she shot at them.
Whether they were justified in opening fire first is a very different conversation, but they sure as shit weren't using "she shot at us" as their justification.
Oh, excellent. So I can drive around with my eyes shut as a test of my ability to use sonar from within my car, and because I'm not intending to break any laws I'm immune from prosecution should some idiot walk in front of me?
Nice to hear.
Hopefully the idiot will be you, so that you can learn the difference between gross negligence and criminal intent.
The difference isn't whether we have fuckwits that stupidly misuse emergency response resources, it's that we don't ask those fuckwits to write and adjudicate on laws.
I like my Asus routers. I get very good wifi bandwidth through them and their manufacturer firmware benefits from features being added to its open source codebase.
They're not cheap, but I think they're value for money.
Slashdot Mirror
I will give it time. I just wont spend any money on it until that time has passed.
Stop feeling as though you're entitled to a polished game
Entitled? No. But when I pay for working software, it had better fucking work.
Given who they put onto their abuse council (whatever the fuck it's called) I'm fairly confident that (1) is a far higher factor than you give it credit for.
So? That's still not an excuse to maliciously fuck over someone else.
There are always options.
Virgin's 'upper class' lounge in LAX do a nice burger and don't charge you for vodka.
It's just not worth the extra $1500 on the flight.
Give children something to do.
Things to poke, prod and make stuff happen. Don't show them a CPU, let them build logic gates that light shit up, make noises etc.
Give them control of a complex lock system on a constrained (miniature) canal setup where a barge represents a data and the routes dictate processing.
Show them to history of 'speak and spell', calculators, robotic fucking barney, other toys to see how computers have enhanced play.
Build a proper difference engine and let them program it.
Shit, they're kids. They want to learn, they want to play, they want to see and do fun stuff. Is this really that hard?
Apple store? Really? What sort of cunt thinks that's a museum?
This is where it gets silly though. The evidence suggests that the issue isn't that developers don't have easy access to resources that help them to secure 'things', it's that they don't even bother to try.
That's a far harder issue to resolve.

Differentiate between profit and cashflow.
You can run at a permanent loss if you have a positive cashflow.

Who shot first is immaterial
Given that we don't know who pulled their lethal weapon out first, no, it's not.
Just what the fuck is wrong with the US police that they seem to think shooting people is the only possible answer available to them?
mmmm, faggots. I love faggots. Haven't eaten one for a while. I like Brains faggots the most, which are you favourites?
You should join the Facebook group : http://mrbrains.co.uk/resource...
Or perhaps I'm misinterpreting you and you're a brainless homophobe?

statistically speaking white people are more likely to get killed then black

Statistically unarmed, complying Black people are about 5 times more likely to be killed by a cop than a white person.

Wow, both of those pieces of information could be useful in trying to find a solution to our current issues. Let me just check the citations ... oh.
Learn to use a fucking search engine.
The sad thing is that many critics clearly were pushing the film on social politics grounds, yet 60 is a fucking awful score.
That's not a good film.
IMDB's curated algorithm tends to eliminate the nonsense ratings though, so I'd say its 5.4 is probably closer to the mark than a 2.7.
Oh dear. Did reductio ad absurdum completely pass you by?
Only if you can't provide a convincing argument why Slashdot is required for your work.
I can think of seven different possible reasons without even pausing to consider the outliers.

Hmm. You mean Jezebel isn't just aggressive feminist female supremacists?
Losing Gawker is good, losing Kotaku is good and losing Jezebel makes the whole planet a healthier place.
