It took me about an hour to track down and eliminate some windows malware running in wine. it turned my poor Linux box into a free p2p seeder for some freeium MMORPG. It ended up saturating my poor little cable modem until I clobbered it.
Huh? Why would it take that long? Just rm ~/.wine, or sudo killall wine, and if all else fails sudo apt-get remove --purge wine or whatever your local package manager is.
AC notices his cable usage.
AC checks all of his computers to see which one is using the most bandwidth
AC discovers which computer is the culprit, then has to determine what program is using more than others (but probably not saturating his local connection to the cable modem, so not looking like a lot).
AC narrows it down to wine. Now how does the program start up, is it in cron? A shell start-up script? User or system? Did it replace an entry that already existed, thereby running both?
Maybe the AC wants to use wine for something (thus why it's installed), and setting up a blanket removal of all things wine would be overkill.
A good CS person just hard to find - most have no clue about BigO.
You can't get past the CS weed-out classes without learning about Big O. You can't get through the anime club presentations without learning about Big O. You can't join ACM if you know about Big O.

Vegan infants? No mother's milk? Only soy milk or something?
I'm sure that Mr. Browne has never sold a used car that he was tired of driving in order to subsidize the purchase of a new car (or better yet, a beautifully maintained, low mileage used car). I mean, "...pre-owned has really killed [strike]core games[/strike] new car sales. It's killing [strike]single player games[/strike] sports car sales in particular, because they will get pre-owned, and it means your day one sales are it, making them super high risk."
Be careful. The Fedgov already hurt the used car market with cash for clunkers. Don't think they wouldn't do a used game buyback and destruction program if they believed the terrorism angle.
Nope. In the 90's, a $60 game was unheard of, and $50 games were very rare. $40 games were the top tier, and $30 games were the norm. $20 was my price point. I remember these prices because that's when I stopped buying due to DRM. Now I replay all my old games that still work without server authentication and limited installs. Of course, Richard Browne thinks I'm not worthy since I want to play any game for longer than his company says I should be able, thus I wouldn't buy every new game they made. Sure, they would make a profit off me, but not the amount they want, so they'd rather go scorched earth and alienate their sometimes-customers.
Look, we've all been chosen last for some sport. Doesn't matter if we were good or not, we were the nerds. That why we play video games now and not pickup b-ball with the other over-40 guys. Don't make us feel like we've been picked last (pay $200 for voice) or we won't play. Without those guys paying $200, no one will get to play for free (or now marginally annoying guys get targeted to cough up the dough).
can't the University of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburg police stop doing that and ignore the bomb threats, knowing that their leg is being pulled? [...] "The boy who cried wolf" should also come into play
There are two morals to the story of "The boy who cried wolf":
Don't consistently lie or you'll get eaten (the moral for children)
Sometimes, children's lies end up being the truth, so pay attention every time or they'll get eaten (the moral for adults)
If you want to discourage lying, punish the liars when they're caught, but don't ignore what seems like a lie because it might be the truth.
The law is not always right. What he said was correct. A threat is not the exact same thing as actual violence. Punching someone in the face is very clearly different than threatening to do so. In only one of those scenarios someone actually got punched in the face.
But in both of those cases, someone is hurt. Threats and menace are crimes because the fear of danger imposed upon the victim is psychological damage. Menace especially can lead to escalation of violence (in self defense) due to proximity.

When another car partially blocked the officer's view of Krioukov's car momentarily, the officer could have missed the brief yet crucial timing of his stop.
If it blocked the officer's view, wouldn't it have blocked Krioukov's view, so he should not have increased velocity again after a microsecond of stopping?
Before the Big Bang, there just isn't. There isn't a before the Big Bang because time is a part of the Universe that started with the Big Bang.
"started" implies a time before the start in which the thing started was in a stopped state. If there was no time, there would be no change. Without change, there would be no start, no began, no bang.

But those who rely solely on empirical evidence fall prey to magical thinking: that empirical evidence shows the truth, or that current empirical evidence can tell the truth about something in the future or the past. Without the step of magical thinking that says "laws of physics remain constant" (about which no amount of emperical evidence can say yea or nay), science ceases to become useful.
The guy is still drawing a check, but doesn't have to work, and he's upset? Why can't he work on his own projects if he's got all this free time? I understand that there may be legal ramifications to freelancing while in an employment lawsuit, but that doesn't mean you can't do your own stuff, or volunteer. He says he was used to people being around, but now he's describing a prison-like experience. If he really craves human interaction that much, why can't he just go out to a bar? Find local singles groups? Go to the mall? Volunteer for an animal shelter? So little of this makes sense.
They probably changed his job description to "work-from-home, on call 12 hours a day", and require him to be home whenever they randomly call to make him log in and start a batch script or some other random thing that is easy but proves he's not just on vacation in the Caribbean. Since he can't get another job, he's chained to this $90,000 non-life. Even if he invites people over, he's got that whole death threat thing going on, and his paranoia's got to be getting thick without other humans to help him tone it down.
What's the difference between me renting a TV from rentacenter (then place shifting) and renting an antenna from these guys? They're not broadcasting; they're unicasting content from my (rented) antenna directly to me at my request.
My friend's posts on Facebook immediately following his new job were wild praises of random Microsoft software (especially Bing). I'm not sure if he was being ordered to shill, but it was rather profuse either way.
I know programmers that are willing to work for what h1b workers get (because by law it's the same), but h1b workers have an added bonus: they won't stand up to abuse because they _need_ the job. It's not about the money, it's about the level of control.

But does the ESR have this auto-update feature? If not, then it still won't update until after he has the knock-down drag-out.

Of course, now that I think of it, there might have been regional pricing back then too since Internet shopping hadn't taken off yet.

PJ's hunch about Mueller carried as much weight as SCO's hunch about PJ. Now that there's proof, it sounds a little less like smearing.

That's why they had the iTunes updater automatically install Safari at one point.
I kind of wish that government behaved faster, and was able to solve problems with more efficiency.
If you let them move fast enough, you won't be sure if you're the latest problem they're trying to solve until it's too late. Gridlock is good.
