Apart from creating counter-measure and technical help jobs, when used on the large companys it forces people to use other services, spreading the wealth and creating even MORE jobs.
Quick, amend the broken window fallacy! Throwing bricks through the windows of more efficient businesses create may create jobs, but does it actually generate more overall wealth?
You would expect a new fed 'friend' or person the feds caught in the past to slowly befriend the admin/best new useful friend over time. Then work out ip's over a day/weeks when offered/gifted admin pw, raids for all... or long term tracking?
What mildly competent sysadmin hands out root passwords as gifts? They haven't even done that in Universities since the early 90's.
What part of my post made it look like I thought Kim Jong Il was Chinese?
"Well, if we stop being #1 with our military, China will start. And then everyone will be #1 in everything, because we'll all be Chinese, and we all know that in China, China is always #1." Immediately followed by comments about multiple Kim Jong Ils attacking. It's pretty easy to see why GP was confused.
I'm not sure if I can support this. I think it perverts the process.
No joke. All it takes is for them to do a write-in for Bart Simpson or Mickey Mouse, and they'll get teamed with the other normal write-ins and we'll have a fictional character for an official candidate. Obama wins by default. It's no different than the USSR or Venezuelan elections with just one candidate. Don't like being compared to communists or fascists? Don't act like them during elections.
That argument would work back in the middle ages/enlightenment, when students got together and pooled their money to hire a teacher. It's not the professor's lecture, and it's not the students' lecture. It's the University Administration's lecture, and what they say goes (usually they stand behind the prof). If they don't want a student in the class, he gets kicked out, often without a refund. If the prof doesn't teach well, but brings in $$$$ in research grants, he ends up getting the best TAs to teach the mandatory minimum number of classes (which are usually high-level courses where students direct their own research).
Perhaps the people who once bought v146r@ ch3ep are tired of getting tired of getting billed monthly for one bottle of placebo? No more financial incentive means greatly reduced spam?
Is because the cars don't swerve to miss a frog. A human, on the other hand, will cause accidents and likely his own death when both the car and he dodge in the same direction. Also, in Frogger, you're guaranteed a safe path. Not so in real life.
CLU, as I heard it, was deliberately -not- an exact likeness. His features are half of Bridges', mirrored to give him perfect symmetry.
And that can be disturbing itself. Back in the day, I used to work for a local ISP who posted "crimestoppers" photos from the police. One day we got a photo of a guy that really creeped us out, but none of us knew why until a coworker split the photo in half and mirrored it. The guy was one of the rare examples of a truly mirrored face, and we all found it unpleasant to view.
One thing I didn't appreciate was all the hokey self-reference to the original (the poster and other merchandise in the kid's room, the original arcade machine, etc.).
Because Flynn, a game programmer who owned an arcade, wouldn't market the incredible mind trip he went on and make an arcade game better than Space Paranoids?
But like you said, it's undoubtedly journal-like under the hood, so changing and deleting won't achieve anything.
Yeah.. it will... if you change it subtly enough over time, it will become increasingly difficult and eventually impossible to sort out the facts from the fantasy without lots of manual labor by humans.
In the mean-time, while you're spending time making the change subtle enough to be believed, you're letting actual data leak and confusing your friends/family. "mysidia, Grandma wants to know why you listed her as your ex-lover on Facebook. I've also noticed some unusual postings. Is everything okay?"
Remember when we said that about turning off computers?
I slap the wrists of any of my users who shut down "their" machines. Because after they're done with them, it's my turn to do work on them, and not every manufacturer (Apple, esp) knows how to utilize WOL properly (No, Apple, WOL doesn't just mean wake from sleep. We want wake from off-state).
When we eventually get around to using idle machines for extra render nodes, there will be public shamings for users that shut down for the night.
And if you think that response is an argument to my post - you confuse an opinion with an argument.
You are correct. I confused your opinion with an argument. I'm sorry, but brains do a _lot_ more than consciousness/self awareness. Because an ape's (chimp's) body is more similar to our own, it makes sense that their brains are more similar. You say that most of our brain is for language and hands. Dogs have no hands and a large portion of their brain is devoted to scent association.
The dog most studied is Chaser - with a proven vocabulary greater than many people who drive trucks with gun racks.
Either you greatly underestimate the mental capacity of average humans, or Chaser would be more famous than Mr. Ed or Koko. I bet you laughed at the Family Guy skit where Peter goes to the KFC asking for the Colonel, thinking to yourself "Oh my! What a delicious parody on the lack of vocabulary in the South!". What you missed is that the guy behind the counter was smarter than Peter, and was trying to impart his wisdom using the local dialect. "I say you he dead."
Most dogs (mine included) can do most everything an ape can do - and more.
I'm an ape. Get your dog to compile a custom kernel and I'll consider it. Have him complete Hurd and I'll believe you.
I'll give you $100 if you can teach an ape to find a three-dimensional object based on viewing a drawing - or point - or wait - or look where you're pointing. No ape has ever been taught to do any of those things.
Many dogs can. Most collies and Jack Russells (other breeds as well, those are the ones I've mostly trained) easily learn 400+ words and concepts (around, under, over)
http://www.koko.org/world/signlanguage.html
- and colour recognition (get in the red car).
Most likely "red car" means "car that smells like leather seats" and "red ball" means "ball that smells like $FOO"
I suspect that due to our long relationship with dogs (teaming up with them may well have made up more effective hunters) means that dog brains are more similar to ours than apes.
Most of our brains are for language and hands.
If you're saying that dog brains are closer to ours than dog brains are to apes brains, you might be correct. If you're saying that dog brains are closer to ours than ape brains are to our brains, then you're incorrect.
Catnip is interesting - some cats love it, but not all. The weird thing is it seems to make cats forget where they found it - I used to grow some in a garden of a house I shared with a cat lover. Everytime I went into the garden they'd follow through the gate and hunt for the catnip. They'd look everywhere until they found it - which was a little weird given it only grew in one pot, and that pot was never moved. Even I could use my nose to find it - but they had to investigate every carrot, lettuce, and tomato plant to work out which was the catnip. They didn't always take the same route whilst looking for it either. Strange - maybe that's part of the effect of catnip.
Knowing cats, they were probably hunting for mice/insects, or eating greens. Then they went for dessert.
The internet is a worldwide network. If one country banned or censored it, it would make almost no difference to everyone else - expect that the amount of spam might be down a little.
Now it is. What about in its infancy? Without the US, would Finland house the ICANN lookalike?
I bought my lady one of those LED flashy things you wear like glasses and she really likes it. I've tried it a few times and it does make interesting patterns. No idea if the lights are forcing me to relax or if I'm just relaxing because I'm watching patterns but I think it's nifty as well.
I bought one of those, but Wesley Crusher programmed Data to break it.
Computer competition. Unless computers can fly and work for the Daily Planet.
I think Superman's robot doubles might qualify. I'm sure there has to have been a comic where he ordered a double to replace Kent for a day or two of work.

Or South Korea was flinging Electric Buses at North Korea...
I can see North Korea building Trebuchets to do that after the leaders view the latest in US war tech on Youtube.
It would have been awesome to see a program enter a user interaction portal, toss its disk in the air and berate it's user for not harvesting crops.
But then Ewe Boll would have to direct it...
It's not a typo if it's intentional. "defiantly" works fine in that sentence.

I'm sure he's too busy making new costumes. Expect a David Bowie TRON Guy at a convention near you.
