Reminds me of a funny story. I was hanging out in a Ruby programming channel on IRC, and somebody comes in and lurks for 5 minutes and then sends me a PM asking if I'm available for contracting. I turns out he wanted to pay $25 for less than 1 hour of work writing a Perl script for use by a South African bank interchange. Why he was in a Ruby channel for that I don't know. The script just glued two network protocols together with some header boilerplate.
It was so hilarious that I said yes. Amazingly, he paid right away. I was sure it was a scam, but it wasn't. It was almost disappointing that it wasn't a scam; I'd have probably said no. I was hoping for an even funnier story out of my 30 minutes of programming! Never got any bug reports, feature requests, or anything. I assume when he needed something else, he just grabbed the next casual off IRC.
If they were smarter they'd be making COBOL jokes, where stopping at 110 even becomes the right sort of round number if you describe the data field in an awful enough way... maybe I'll check for that on slashdot
No, you're wrong. Water was always considered good, 100% juice was always considered good.
If you can't understand it and get confused just by mixing in an example of over-eating, which is a different issue, there is no solution for that.
Mainstream dietary advice does not tell you to limit fruits and vegetables. Your wild theory that the sugars in juice is the same as sugar water made from corn syrup is just pap that you got from the sugar lobby, it was not and is not part of mainstream dietary advice.
As a co-worker once explained to me, it isn't that the scientists are lying about the fossils. It is that Satan planted them there with misleading amounts of carbon, and the scientists just credulously believe whatever Satan wants them to. Because they're naive, and trusting.
Some of the Alaskan and Canadian native groups had taken their large land holdings from others so recently when Europeans arrived that there were still small refugee camps of people who had escaped the slaughter.
I've yet to see the observation benefit any of the related policy discussions, though.
I went to American public school and I was taught about Icarus in 4th grade, and the Wright Brothers in 5th grade. We were not taught about Montgolfier or other balloons; we had units on ancient mythology, and useful inventions. The discovery of how to harness lift and create functional artificial wings sufficient to loft a human was taught; other forms of flight were only covered in blooper reels.
I'll give you the secret: Foreskin means you don't need lube. Anybody with a foreskin can simply hold it in place and compare, but a person without it can't make that comparison. There is a huge difference in functionality.
This is why historically when circumcision was done by adult males it was a big act of religious devotion. You're giving up a major part of the hedonistic pleasures of life. This is also why it is done to children; in hopes they will grow to be more pious.
I think it was only yesterday I saw another headline saying that salt doesn't cause high blood pressure - despite the fact that the connection is very well established.
Sorry Bozo, it was always true that salt increases blood pressure in a minority of patients with a particular genetic predisposition to that response. The average patient with hypertension has a very very minimal increase in blood pressure from dietary salt intake, and reducing it in those patients does not improve any of their hypertension-related outcomes. The reason that diuretics lower blood pressure is primarily because they alter the level of salt that your body maintains. Most people's bodies are well able to maintain a fairly steady body fluid salt level regardless of dietary intake.
The reason you don't know this might be that some researchers publicly accuse people of being murderers for explaining that! Because they fear some ignorant person who didn't get tested will be affected and not go to a doctor to test and then die. This is the nonsense that people face in trying to get medical information generally.
Exactly, if I roll my own I'm more protected from script kiddies, and more exposed to serious attackers. It all depends on the threat profile and needs of the project. If it is a personal project of no import, I might prefer some custom blahblah that won't need to be updated when the library has a published exploit.
In a product, I would always want to hope that my product would be popular and sell a lot, so then it would be under more serious attack. So products for sale should probably not roll their own security. Unless they're designed not to be updated, then it is just a crap shoot either way.
Exactly. Never paste. Read the tut, understand the technique, and then apply the part you needed by typing in the correct code that you now know how to write. This way you only write your own fresh security bugs.
OTOH, Matt's Scripts in the end were the most secure on the internet, because they'd been beaten into submission by a million trolls. Sometimes the crapware is better than the random square re-invented wheel.
You've got more bugs than just that one, maybe you should have googled it?
For example, "what they find googling." Who is doing the googling here? The thing that they found, according to you. But no, actually the tutorial isn't googling at all! Just a one word bugfix, of course, but still! That's the sad state of the interwebs, to be sure.
Even though there is no legal definition of pirating
"Piracy: a robbery or forcible depredation on the high seas, without lawful authority, done animus furandi, in the spirit and intention of universal hostility.
"It is not necessary that the motive be plunder or that the depredations be directed against the vessels of all nations indiscriminately. As in robbery upon land, it is only necessary that the spoilation or intended spoilation be felonious, that is with intent to injure and without legal authority or lawful excuse."
Apple BASIC too. And then ASM. ProDOS for the Apple ][ had a hotkey that dropped to an REPL for ASM. You could do all sorts of neat things to running code. Most of my life I was using a bunch of fancy, popular high level languages but now everything seems to be C... even my Ruby code usually ends up being in C
Except for we haven't actually declared war in any of these places, right? I mean, these are just 'skirmishes' or whatever?

Another meme for idiots. I'll give you a hint: When Congress passes a law that authorizes use of force, and specifically writes out in it that "this satisfies the requirements of [such and such section] of the War Powers Act" and you look up that section and it is the section that talks about Congress having to declare war, then you can understand that war has been declared.
There is no special Declaration of War Form that Congress fills out. There is no requirement for them to write "Declaration of War" at the top of the bill that authorizes ongoing military action. In fact, all that they have to do to declare war is authorize it using any language that they choose. And in modern times, they use a different wording than "declaration of war."
But you don't get your information from actual sources, you get it from the rumor mill, so you repeat nonsense about Congress not having declared war.
Not everybody likes the details of the war declaration that Congress made; it is rather open-ended and nonspecific. But it does exist.
OK smartypants, if you think it is an "error," what is the authority on English grammar? Is there a book or something that lists the rules?
You're hilariously fucking stupid. You can't even comprehend the nature of language, or the meaning of the word "grammar," or the meaning of "error." And yet you argue and dig and dig, even telling me that I'm digging, and yet, I do know the nature of language, I do know the source of authority for grammar, and if there is only one or a choice between several. (spoiler: several, and they only claim to be optional style guides)
Even when corrected you're so aliterate that you argue with the correction instead of looking it up!
If you couldn't parse it, you didn't get to play. Not my problem.
If I was French, I might want to get onto some singular grammar wagon, but since I use English I won't go anywhere near that shit. Like my friend said after getting an English degree: The first three years they teach you rules. The last year they teach that those are fake rules to help you practice, and actually it all a matter of style.
People who claim there is only one style, or that it is in poor style to use a construct that they cannot comprehend, are not worthy of pause.
If I wanted to, yeah, I have a $6 wifi microcontroller on a breadboard next to me. Not sure what the relay costs, but not much. Thirty cents for a transistor to drive the relay, though that is overkill.
The harder part than turning it on from the driveway would be feeding the vegetables in from there.
But if I juiced it in the morning and put the juice in the fridge, then when I'm arriving in the driveway I can not use an app, and still walk into the kitchen and drink my juice right away without waiting. If I was that addicted to apping I could just use a journal app to dictate, "I'm in the driveway and I'm going to go inside and drink some juice."

In COBOL 110 is generally more-round than 128.

Funny, this weekend I'm going out foraging for the recently-named Boletus rex-veris.
Some of the Alaskan and Canadian native groups had taken their large land holdings from others so recently when Europeans arrived that there were still small refugee camps of people who had escaped the slaughter.

You should watch the anime Date A Live, you'll learn all about how to date them.
There is nothing contradictory in soda being bad, and then "diet" soda also being bad.
Water is still good, 100% juice is still good. Always was.

This is UNIX. Semantics matter here. Go away, muggle. The gnomes are trying to talk about the System.
Ok, so I should have said there is no legal definition of pirating concerning copyright.
Nobody cares if the vessel that you pillage is carrying copyright assignments, gold dust, or toilet paper. The definition of piracy does not change.
Most people...
Are fucking idiots who don't understand the difference between propagandized hyperbole, and whatever other options for communication there are.
Exactly. Never paste. Read the tut, understand the technique, and then apply the part you needed by typing in the correct code that you now know how to write. This way you only write your own fresh security bugs.

will only lead to the justification of other organizations
Well, if organizations don't even need to "justify" what they scan or don't scan, then this is a non-argument.
