Conficker/Downadup? B? B++? Is it time we had a proper naming scheme for these things?
You forgot Net-Worm.Win32.Kido.bt
Well, how about following the convention of the hurricane trackers? 26 names assigned to each major piece of malware that appears throughout the year.
Malware writers might get sloppy as they vie for the top names, trying to make sure that _their_ malware becomes a headline in just the right time to be named "Thor" or "Linus".
The US Government is trying to figure out a way to issue coupons for DNS Converter Boxes, but they can't find manufacturers. Project delayed until June 12th, 2012.
HTTPS puts a blue background behind the favicon and the padlock and certificate domain in the status bar. What kind of favicon can ever spoof the entire blue background. More importantly, what favicon can ever spoof the status bar section?
Why can't a favicon start with a blue background? Can't a favicon from the target site get a new blue background dynamically easily? Who pays attention to the status bar? What about TFA's assertion of being able to use
I don't know of any dictatorship in recent centuries that was created from a gradual erosion of people's rights by legislation. However, a legislative culture that allows anarchy to form, by creating weak or illogic laws, will eventually degrade into a dictatorship.
I'm too lazy to look it up, but how does Venezuela fit?
And yet X11 is still so incredibly useful that vendors that want compatibility between their OS and another OS still use it. Thankfully there's a way to get X11 working in OSX.
More proof that the Martian race came to Earth thousands of years ago, interbred with humanity to create the white race, and has ever since been trying to take over the world. They will be done by 2012 when the Annunaki return.
Alien 1: "Dammit Dammit Dammit!"
Alien 2: "How were we going to take over the world with a white Michael Jackson anyway?"
Alien 1: "Dammit!
Where did the eventual first link in the chain end up coming from? A newspaper.
No, it came from a newspaper company's website. Newspapers _are_ dying, and the companies that own them are currently shifting to other media for their reporters to publish news.
Sigh... I was going to post a quick rant about using the term "Hacker" when obviously "Cracker" or "Black Hat Hacker" would be better....but ohhhh what the hell... I give up.
You're a tinkerer, craftsman, hobbyist, inventor, recreational electrician, etc etc. There was a point at which men stopped using a certain word to describe an elated mood too. "Hacker" been redefined. "Bad" means "good", "hawt" is the new hotness replacing "cool", a hogshead is no longer a unit of measurement, and mail(le) is no longer chain link armor, but instead a common word for post.
Just ask some neighbor kid to install your software for you, one that's too young to enter a legal agreement.
"Mommy, that creepy old guy that lives in his parents' basement asked me to come over to install software for him. I screamed NO! really loud and ran home just like you taught me."
Why the need to even coax the cat? Leave the EULA open with the "i agree" highlighted, and let the cat pounce as usual. Pretty good chance it will hit the space bar. Oops, it was the cat.
I *just* changed all my pictures to files with the same name, but instead of my pictures, they were a white square with the words "Facebook sucks donkey balls."
No you didn't. Every data file uploaded is assigned a unique large-number filename. Nothing is overwritten.
They'll probably just wait for the fuss to die down, reword it a bit, and try again.
Then they're doing a poor job of it; Posted in a huge section on the top of every page:
Over the past few days, we have received a lot of feedback about the new terms we posted two weeks ago. Because of this response, we have decided to return to our previous Terms of Use while we resolve the issues that people have raised. For more information, visit the Facebook Blog.
If you want to share your thoughts on what should be in the new terms, check out our group "Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities."
They're deliberately asking the enraged folk to weigh in on the new ToS. Hopefully they'll announce the change this time.
They start out as a couple guys in a dorm room with a parent's lawyer. When the company gets big enough, the family lawyer _might_ get hired on to oversee a team of corporate lawyers. It's the corporate lawyers, talking to people other than the C?O's who bring in the crazy licenses.

If you don't have an ethernet jack where you have power, then how on earth are you powering your wireless hub?
Every X has a Y. Not every Y has an X. Quite a few power outlets don't need eth jacks nearby because they're not reasonably going to be needed.

Keeping all nodes of a server cluster always-online even while transferring to new hardware?
Here's the link: Get it while it's hot.
Why did I read this as Get it while it's hot.? The I, T, R, and the X making an S sound?
So bash should include a bashlog daemon with a sqlite DB? I can't think of a good solution off the top of my head.

And what is condensed water vapor? I thought so.

And if a re-release is required to fix a critical issue, will it be called K3B, causing utter confusion?
That's three weeks away! One week from now, pdfs are going to be on every questionable web page and email attachment. Step up the cycle, Adobe.
The downside is that importing energy from space upsets Earth's balance
My thoughts exactly. Solar power that wouldn't normally hit Earth redirected towards Earth? Global Warming!
i dont need to remind you what happened after 1792.
1793?
Keep posting them. Eventually that restaurant will run out of money in their "Yelp fund"
"Why they felt the need to involve the police is beyond me..."
Because they pulled the phone out from her "buttocks area" after frisking her. I bet she wanted them to call the police.

That's why you need to upgrade to elinks. You know you want to. Colored text is the best text.
