"Which degree(s) do YOU think will go well with a Computer Science Bachelors?"
I don't know, but an English degree would go a long way toward helping you avoid those random apostrophes.

If a horde of AOL users had chimed in with "me too!" I might see your point. Since it was just you and maybe 2 others (last time I looked at the thread), I submit that perhaps it's a more common abbreviation than you think.

And for those who are about to jump and say "if you don't know it, Google it!", I say "why?"
Because if you aren't willing to google it, chances are you won't want to fuck around with configuring it, either. Asterisk is extremely complex and sophisticated, and has a steep learning curve. The article did a good job of outlining a basic setup, but the software does much more.
Let's not get all ignorant here. What he did is a far cry from fraud--he did it to satisfy personal curiosity, not for profit. There's a very large distinction in my eyes.
"Seeking advice from Mitnick about security is as bad as" [...]
About as "bad" as seeking information on building better safes from safecrackers, something large safe companies have been known to do. Who better to ask than the person who compromised you in the first place?
I'd say it was when the editors were using their unlimited mod points to mod down a post, then began secretly removing moderator privileges of posters who modded the post up...you've been here long enough to remember that, judging by your user number. At least, that's when Slashdot lost all credibility for me.
Not that clever. Regardless of what you think of Microsoft, they probably aren't going to display the poor grammar skills presented in that screenshot.
"I have been really pissed every time since going through security, knowing my government refuses to be straight with me."
Your government does refuse to be straight with you, and that's a good reason to be pissed at it, but what does that have to do with airport security screeners?
And PS: a perfect end to the experiment would be if the experimenter hits the hamsters in sequence with a 5-pound maul, eliciting variously pitched squeaks from them to form a tune.
Who are you talking to? Neither the person who submitted the article nor the Slashdot staffer who posted it have anything to do with the experiment, other than reporting about it.
Ebay goes out of its way to encourage people to only bid the highest amount they're willing to pay, on the first bid. If you aren't willing to do that, then how is it Ebay's fault? It's not like their policies are buried 6 levels deep in a 3-point font.
"Do business with a company that respects your intelligence and your wallet: Lexmark."
BWAHAHAHAHA!
Plug "Lexmark" into the search box at the bottom of the page to see how much they respect your intelligence.
HP and Lexmark are both worthless shit companies. I personally like my Canon multifunction ($8 black and $12 tri-color cartridges), and so far I haven't seen it artificially shortening the life of my carts (which last as long or longer than the ones I had with HP and Lexmark, even though they're about half the size) or trying to dial corporate HQ with info about my printing habits.
Except for the fact that Opera fucking sucks because of the high number of bugs. Or at least, that's how it was when I stopped using it forever because I wanted a browser that didn't spontaneously die when I was nowhere near the computer.
Just a wild guess here, but possibly because they're not necessarily copying anything and the blocking features aren't necessarily protecting intellectual property.
DMCA has nothing to do with it. I'm personally more in favor of hunting these fuckers down and torturing them with pliers, myself.

Some telcos were burning their "shred" for awhile, but I believe they've been getting lax again.
I thought even cross-shredding wasn't considered very secure these days given the speed with which a computer and scanner can reconstruct the docs.
Give it a fucking rest.

The phrase "getting blackholed for relaying spam" is about to take on a sinister new meaning.
Attention moderators: RTFA.
I fervently hope so.

"the air marshall could accidentally cause decompression with his gun shooting at terrorists."
That's an urban legend. Powerful explosives that remove a large chunk of fuselage can cause decompression, but bullets cannot.

I'd rather see his wife in bed, but that's just me...
Except the tapes were physically lost, and...well, I have no idea what you're trying to say.

Apples. Oranges.
There's some sort of subtext here, but I JUST CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT!@

I prefer "steaming bags of shit who deserve a good swift kick to the head," but I can see how that might be a bit bulky in some cases....
