Yeah, just like all the hippies in the late 60s who grew up to be the conservative corporate suits now. I am not holding my breath. The almighty dollar can really do some damage to morals and ideals over 20 years of time.
Much easier to destroy everything in your house at the same time. I'll stick with my.45 for stopping power. My friend likes to say his Glock 9mm is superior to my.45 because his holds 18 rounds and mine only holds 8. I just tell him he will need all 18 of his and I only need one of mine.
Why is it that these intelligence gathering entities always seem to think that the problem is not enough information? They already have way too much info, and collecting even more isn't going to help. Sifting through the info they have to weed out the useless stuff is what they really should be concentrating on. And hasn't law enforcemnt ever heard of the Wayback Machine?
Actually, it is very possible to overdose on LSD. It isn't fatal, but just becasue it doesn't kill you doesn't mean you didn't take too much. You also have to remember that in increase in dose will also prolong the worst and most intense part of the trip as well.
Cleaned up Vundo many times at work. Yes it can be tricky, but I still maintain that it is not worth murdering someone over. I don't have any love for malware writers, but I do have lots of love for the punishment fitting the crime, and tons of love for not having stupid knee-jerk over reactions to things.
What she was convicted of is not the same as what actually happened. Just because there isn't enough evidence to go to trial does not imply innocence. Just because a person is not found guilty of a crime does not mean that person did not commit a crime. Unless you are going to try and tell me that O.J. didn't hack up his ex-wife and her boyfriend based on the fact he was found not guilty. See, a court of law and reality are barely on the same plane of existence.
Innocent until proven guilty only is applicable in a court of law - in my own mind I can form whatever opinion I want. This is the United States, remember? I read some of the court documents and followed the story, and it was very clear to anyone with half a brain what was really going on. Insider trading, and then a mad string of lies for the cover up. And usually it is the cover up that gets you busted. Remember Watergate, or President Clinton's blowjob?
If everybody was using it, yes. But if you keep seeing a unique agent string coming from the same IP range over and over, it would be easier to track, to a degree. There are a lot of variables, but if you didn't have a lot of traffic it could make it easier to identify an individual user.
Ok, I will go slowly this time so you can follow. Yes, I said that randomizing the user agent every time would make you unique and easier to track. Then I said that if the user agent was the same every time (the opposite of unique) it would make you harder to track. As "anyone can plainly see", these statements do not contradict themselves, and actually support each other.
Oh, I get it. I just looked at your comments and see you are rated troll on about 3/4 of your recent ones. Good show - for a moment you actually had me tricked into thinking you were just really dumb.
We were talking about the user agent of a browser as an identifier, not IP addresses or anything else. My point was that if every user agent reported the same thing, no matter the actual configurations or variances of the browser may be, it would be much harder to identify individuals out of the group. So I hardly made a foolish statement. Just because you didn't understand it does not make me foolish.
If you made every car appear to have the same make, model, and color, it would be pretty hard to tell the drivers apart if all you could see is the exterior.
Wouldn't randomizing this every time make you more unique and hence more trackable? They should make an addon that makes every browser have an identical user agent that does not ever change, no matter what you do to your browser.
I'd rather have a self-hamstrung justice system than one that lets the powerful people at the top do whatever the fuck they want to do.
Well, luckily I live in the USA, so I don't have to decide - I get both.
I mean look at the O.J. Simpson trials - the prosecution couldn't even frame a guilty man!
The only thing I believe about the hype is that Apple is contributing to it, at the very least, a small part. It is well known and documented that Apple "leaks" information about new products as a way of promoting and generating increased interest in their products. Can it be proven beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt that Apple 100% is leaking rumors to create hype? No. But my mind is not a court of law and pretty certain is all I need. Feel free if you wish to believe none of the "hype" around this new Apple product has nothing to do with Apple actively fueling the hype fire. Me, I'm not so convinced. Who does the hype benefit the most? Apple. Logic then dictates Apple should contribute to it.
As far as the actual product goes - I'm sure Apple will put out a pretty tablet that is easy to use, and will probably cost a few hundred more than the competitors. Nothing Earth-shaking or too outside the normal formula. But that is just my speculation - others will widely vary I am certain.
Yes, Apple is not known to use controlled leaks to drum up insane levels of publicity for their products, ever. How could we ever have stupidly thought that Apple would want to inflate interest in their products?
If you honestly do not think Apple is behind some of this hype, you are not only eating the spoon-fed pablum, you seem to be enjoying the taste as well.

Ah, so that is the answer. I always got this one wrong on my SAT.

Yes. Any other dumb questions?
.\ != \.
(Slashdot will not let me just post symbols apparently>)
Yes, becasue over reacting and making the punishment much worse than the crime is ALWAYS a good idea.
I also say execution for jaywalking, littering, and spitting in public.

That is what she was convicted of, what she actually did was insider trading. If you want to split hairs.

If you are looking to the academic world to teach you about the business world, you are already two steps behind.

Good thing our court system has it's own legal definitions, and they don't have to resort to looking them up in a dictionary, huh?
Exactly. The first thing I thought of when I read the headline was Nethack.

Isn't Square Enix releasing a new version of FF for the Wii? Crystal Chronicles or something? I thought I saw an ad on TV the other day.
Damn, damn, damn. You beat me to it. Kudos to you sir.
Welcome to the Five Percent Nation. Now just convince the other 85%...
