actually does something.. be it useful or nefarious, rather than just crash the app or insert gibberish in a text document, etc.
The point of the attack is that you can change the file to whatever you want, prefix some ignored garbage, and end up with a file with the same md5. So yes you could do something useful or nefarious by changing the file usefully or nefariously.
That image had me laughing out loud. The [nasa.gov] link tag clinches it.
Anyway, "200mpg" doesn't necessarily mean it can do the whole journey in one gallon of fuel. Maybe you can spend a bunch of fuel to get it up to speed and altitude, then glide 200 miles on just a gallon. Gliders can travel thousands of miles on no power at all, although they don't carry passengers.
Well he didn't have much of a choice, right? When you're on the stand you can't sit there and squirm and say "I don't wanna answer that." If his attorney doesn't object, he has to answer. But he probably thought that there's no way the judge would allow that to be put on record, and he was wrong. Doesn't matter anyway, it'll give him an appeal.
Maybe redirecting people to a waiting room while you sit at your desk playing flash games, requiring appointments, and taking forever will confuse people into respecting you. Actually rushing to do your job properly is so service industry.
Also if some random secretary is acting like that, just tell her "you can wait a few minutes; it sat in your inbox for a week".. not like she can fire you. And physical blows? Yeah right. I can't even imagine that. "I! NEED! MY! EMAIL! NOW! ROARRR! *punch* *slap* *combo*".
You know what's actually helped me though? Believe it or not, it's watching every Ari Gold video on YouTube. Just search and start watching. People positively wilt if you just act important and impatient. If they smell blood, they'll attack, like what happens in your conference calls. As soon as you grasp the problem give them a results-oriented rundown of what you're going to do to resolve the complaints and finish it off dismissively like "OK the longer you keep me here the longer it'll be before I can fix this". Don't let them go on and on with blame, just say "yeah I got it, I will do X with Y as soon as I resolve your other Z", reiterating what you're going to do to get the results they want. Watch the Entourage videos for confidence and go get em tiger. Start with this one, it's one of my favorites.
I meant Google. The installer asked me to close Chrome when I ran it, so it does recognize the browser.
Realistically, Google should be the one responsible for getting it working. Adobe has no obligation to research what new browsers are coming out.. it's Google who should work with Adobe to get it supported.
There is no need whatsoever for cash to be slipped under doors. If you set the "right" motivation
No need for concrete evidence, how convenient. In other words, the only thing a lack of evidence means is that it must be a really good conspiracy.
Come on, you can construct a conspiracy by means of various tricks like that one, and it'll even be consistent, but the entire argument floats around in hypotheticals without a single solid root to reality. In face such a root is impossible because the conspiracy is consistent by virtue of its little tricks like above that turn away evidence as impossible or unnecessary.
It seems the real problem is that it is too complex for you to see through. You prefer fast and hard explanations
Yes, because that's how arguments work, atomic logical steps. You can do hypotheticals, but it's messy. Science is associated with clean incremental progress. Conspiracy theory is where it gets complex because you have to deal with endless levels of induction and detachment as you grapple with building an argument that stands on its own without a firm foundation on facts.
I'm not talking about Reader. I compared the size of Acrobat with ghostscript, which can also create postscript and PDF documents. It was relevant to GGP because he was talking about PDF bloat from Adobe.
The installer doesn't work for Chrome. Flash reports that I'm using 10,0,22,87 but the latest is 10.0.32.18. That means I have to extract the plugin from the installer with winrar and install it manually....... come on, get on top of this, Google.
Have you seen Acrobat these days? TPB says the install media is 844MB, and I've seen Add/Remove Programs list Acrobat as using over a gigabyte (on clients' machines).
users are idiots and really need most of the work already done for them.
Or maybe they're actually doing work and don't want to sit there counting labels, going back to their desk and changing the print settings, and then dashing back and coaxing a fragile sheet of labels through a machine that will eat it 30% of the time, instead of just clicking the little printer button and peeling off a label.
How do you use an ape-in-environment simulator to evaluate a microprocessor? You've got virtual apes running around on islands getting Hungry and Feared and Sexed.. how would you even introduce a processor design into that kind of simulation? Processors competing for electricity resources while getting Warmed and Turned Off?
Using an evolutionary algorithm to optimize certain highly complex design elements makes sense, but roaming around an environment interacting and competing for resources optimizes apes, not computers.
"Education will never get better because the people who own the country don't want smart citizens." Patent nonsense. Administrators' and teachers' jobs are to better their schools. I suppose you could construe the Secretary of Education or something being corrupt and interfering with funding, but there's no way men in black suits are slipping cash under principals' office doors to keep the kids dumb. In fact, pressure from NCLB and state tests push education to improve.
"People are duped into working worse and worse jobs for less pay so the rich can get richer." Most skilled workers have some upward mobility. Also, he should talk to some 12 year old spending 50 hours a week dipping matches in the '30s, or the women working without weekends in Malaysia. Yes we're worse than, say, France, but things aren't getting dramatically worse, except recently (the economy). Yes there's economic incentive to pay your workers less, but technology gets better and organizations get more efficient.
I was really, really bored on a road trip so I bought the cell phone version of Guitar Hero III from the v-cast store for $10 or $15. It was awful and drove the other people in the car crazy. The best part is that the app had to download the songs separately on demand, and would only cache 3 songs at once although I had plenty of space available. I played through most of the very limited selection of songs in less than half an hour.
Turns out, I didn't have a data plan, and the data charges totaled about $65.
...spending their money on cell service when it could be making local eateries CHEAPER for the rest of us, or cars CHEAPER for the rest of us, or making us be PAID MORE.

You guys need to go back to elementary school. Everyone does math with 1-10.
Oh, I'm sure most of slashdot has a few female MMO characters.

It's not all IT's fault. Watch part 2 for the kind of stuff he has to deal with from Chip. Part 2 is even better IMO
Here's the more famous homage to sysadmins dealing with lusers :)
What, paying you isn't enough? What makes you more deserving of appreciation than any other profession?

The ghostscript binary is about 12MB.

Well the vaccinated group will never be vulnerable to malaria again... sounds smart to me
Premise: Con jobs work because people think they can't be that dumb or it can't be that big.
Conclusion: A system with a large number of participants must be a con job.
Insects? What about bacteria? Viruses?
