Just use a known tiff, jpeg, or png vulnerability. There are plenty of Linux systems that people don't upgrade controlling scientific equipment, and sneakernet is the only way to transfer files to them if they're disconnected from the 'net. If it's running a GUI, just making a thumbnail for a folder view could be enough to activate the payload.
No one sees the ".exe" extention except those of us who turn extension-hiding off. IzNotBugIzVideo.exe uses a video icon, and the same action (double clicking) plays videos and runs executables.
This "X means milf hunter in language Y (where Y is a dead language or X is no longer used as such)" is amazing... it's a catchy meme, but it's completely insane; there's always going to be that pesky village somewhere in the internets that thinks whatever you name a thing is hilarious.
Rick Santorum? No need to be AC here;/. has a fairly even political representation amongst its users.
Christian doctrine is about making humans more empathetic and forgiving (do unto others as you would have them do unto you). Scientology doctrine is about making humans more sociopathic and heartless (release the thetans [conscience] holding you back, and you'll be superhuman, able to achieve any goal). That both of them use faith as a foundation of their respective goals makes them no more alike than if they had used sandwiches as their foundation.
Facebook is trying to MITM everyone's email. Step 1: they changed listed email addresses to be username@Facebookmail.com, then his references to prior default email addresses. So anyone looking to send you an email might find it on FB to be the FB email (which redirects to your normal mail after a healthy scanning and storage). But that wasn't enough because people didn't need to check each other's emails very often (if they're already friends, they often have them in their address books). So Step 2: delete emails when people sync address books, forcing them to find the username@facebookmail.com addresses. Step 3 is data mining.
You remember how all those "What do we need email for? We're a business, not a university! Send a Fax if you need it now, otherwise drop it in the post like everyone else." people sounded to you 15-20 years ago?
That's how you sound now.
Except email (and the www) were clearly better than faxes or snail mail. How is Facebook clearly better than email or the www for a business? Viral likes? That's just advertising, and it has such a short window of opportunity during which you can't even control the message (Facebook can choose to make your company's default email address Xxxhookersandblow@Facebookmail.com)
With a few simple tools piped together, you can do things easily that are highly painful and tedious with a UI.
This. When someone makes a GUI which can correctly pipe output from one program into the input for another program then we'll talk. It's sad when users take a text file, format it with commas, open it into excel to delete a column, then save and open that file in acrobat to create a PDF when a simple command line works and can be looped easily, saving them repetition in the future.
No, there's more to it than that. Roberto Lim is essentially saying "I never use an electric screwdriver when I need to open my TV remote, so no one except professional contractors should be allowed to use an electric screwdriver." Yes I do happen to be an IT professional, but I use command line loops for a lot of useful batch processing that "ordinary users" would love to use if they bothered to spend the time to look past the GUI.
Specifically, opposing a "program" called "Higher Order Thinking Skills" abbreviated as "HOTS" is not the same as "opposing higher order thinking skills".
It isn''t necessarily the same thing, but if the reason you're opposing it is because it might "challenge the student's fixed beliefs" then it very well could be.
"which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student's fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority."
A purpose of challenging a student's fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority is different from doing the same as a side effect.
It exercises your wisdom, but I prefer to engrave ElberethElberethElberethElberethElberethElbereth so that one Elbereth likely remains even after several letters become obscured.
The screwup with the warrant was not really surprising. I've heard from many sources that they still pass around Microsoft word documents amongs each other.
"Here's the warrant you requested. I uploaded the word document to megaupload.com..." -Judge Irony
O god I can already hear them licking their chops. "Wait, we can get the government to MANDATE that everyone must buy our product...?"
According to the precedent set, yes. They can even claim it's for the public good due to "piracy". As long as Congress applies a fine as a penalty for not buying it, it's legal. So says the Supreme Court. Once you're forced to buy movies/music, it's only a short jump to being forced to buy any failing product with enough lobbyists to protect their industry.

they managed to access the subdomain by leveraging a union-based SQL injection attack.
So, the republicans are right. Unions are evil. ;)
Nah, they tried to hire scabs, they just couldn't find anyone that was qualified to do the work.
Hey! Didn't your mother ever tell you to not pick on the scabs!
FF13 is constantly using 60% or more CPU on all my machines, even with just an about:blank open.
In comparison, closed source world has actual code verification and QA.
A lot less than you think.

I imagine more people check Wikipedia from their phones to answer questions during after dinner conversations. That might be the bump.
...watching you go crazy.

And they could fund it with Yugioh ads and branding paint. Kids would buy it just to have a meego/yugo/yugioh phone.

But there is a GUI alternative to these CLI programs: Visual Studio; write a custom GUI program for each use case.
Guy is a fucking moron. Thats all.

Campy yet gritty. Trained assassins bent on revenge who happen to be anthropomorphic mutant turtles.

Why would anyone engrave "Elbereth"?

The power lines aren't high enough voltage.
It's a crowd-taser...
Against Galactus, that's a big win!
Genetically engineer them a giant psychic squid and they'll take you up on your offer.
