If the overhead costs are kept low enough, then increased sales should make up the cost.
How exactly do you figure that?
I'd like to see some numbers- even out-of-your-ass estimates, that suggest a few more CDs sold will help the economy more than the administrative cost of a crackdown will hurt.
Then show me something you didn't pull out of your ass that suggests sales will increase at all. No matter how loudly the *AA shouts otherwise, history hasn't exactly supported that viewpoint.
While I have no doubt there is dirt to be found, spreading misinformation implying that dirt was found (which is what we're seeing now) is almost as good.
You misinterpreted "Good." I meant it is almost as effective, not morally right.
Do you seriously think that prosecution was on anybody's mind?
The lady is part of a major presidential election. Finding dirt would be bad for her. While I have no doubt there is dirt to be found, spreading misinformation implying that dirt was found (which is what we're seeing now) is almost as good.
While you're right for 'first impression' type things, many wine snobs (and beer/whisky snobs like me) go to great lengths to develope their palates so that they can be sensitive to subtle flavors.
I'm not that into wine, but my understanding is that you have to really work to appreciate the complexity of 'fine' wines, while the cheaper 'good' wines tend to be much more simple, and therefore easier to 'get' all at once.
In general, I agree with you. I hate going to the liquor store in my area, because it's filled with rednecks who just want to get drunk. I get funny looks spending $100 on a bottle of whisky,
But you're wrong about the water. A few drops in a glass of scotch and a bit of light swirling can really open up the flavors and make it more aromatic, which leads to more tastiness. How much water is always the question tho- It depends on the whisky and the mood and what I ate for dinner. It's best to start neat and work your way up.
On a similar note, I've had people tell me that shaking a martini will 'Bruise' the gin, releasing flavors that otherwise wouldn't be noticeable. I'm inclined to think that's horseshit, but I'm not really a martini man and therefore don't care.
It's like people who say "I love reggae. Bob Marley is awesome".
It is usually just them name-dropping, because he is the only security guy they know of. Not sure I'd call him the rock star of the industry though- Dan Kaminsky and Johnny Long have that covered.
That said, having read a lot of security literature, and all of Bruce's books, he is the best mind I can think of on high-level security theory- what works, what doesn't, and how to evaluate a solution.
I definitely see your point, but this is exactly what the layer model should allow.
If there was a massive breach of our firewall, but due to careful network configuration nobody was able to get in, I'd feel pretty damn good about myself.
Of course, I would then fix the issue with the firewall... which is really the critical step.
Honestly enough, my dream would be for an automated travel system that addresses 90-99% of everybody's needs. If they have special handicaps or limited mobility, live in a condo with a station in the condo.
We have these already in all major cities. They are called buses and taxicabs.

This is by far the best comment I've seen on Slashdot today.
You win the thread.
Also.... I'll be there!
Only if you read it backwards, and everybody knows reading a word backwards gives you the opposite meaning.
On an unrelated note, today feels surreal. I think I'll go put a stick on the giraffe.
Everybody knows that it's the Dingos that eat babies.

While I'm not a fan of the PT for performance reasons, as a pretty hardcore rodder I'd love to see the curvy fenders come back
Potato farming?
I'd rather not know. I've always liked the cognitive dissonance that sig creates.

Morality and politics are like oil and water.
Somebody else logged into my account to make the parent post.
To be fair, they never DID catch me...
It probably does make you in violation of your company's security and privacy policies.
If your company is the government, and you're looking for a promotion, this can be a big deal.

Vodka has a very neutral flavor, but it doesn't have no flavor.
And I know of no regulation that says that- though this doesn't mean one doesn't exist somewhere.

Maker's is a relatively new brand, but it comes from an old distillery-owning family.]
It's also my favorite bourbon.
Never!
I wouldn't trust a cryptographer without a beard.

Nah, that'll never work.

Fuck that. I vote with a rattlecan.
