I know, every time I read about something like this I think "these idiots are really opening themselves up for a massive DOS attack". It probably means a whole load of overtime, so maybe that's why they do it.
About as bad as the guy not being allowed to fly because of his optimus prime t-shirt, picture of him wearing it.
Most Buddhists would strongly disagree with you.
But they won't kill you over it.
Or more accurately, like most other religious followers, the majority of Buddhists won't kill you for it. Like every religion, it has followers who are willing to kill for their beliefs - Special Report: Buddhist monks incite Muslim killings in Myanmar
But, but, but, they weren't true Buddhists - true Buddhists wouldn't do something like that!
Because nothing wins an argument like the No True Scotsman fallacy.
Not on the Block IIIA Satellites - DoD Permanently Discontinues Procurement Of Global Positioning System Selective Availability. Granted, they're not in the sky yet, but the US military already has the capability to deny GPS to specific areas, so they wouldn't need it anyway.
Remember, it was the FAA that was the force behind deactivating SA. Turning it back on now could well be more dangerous than just denying GPS and issuing a NOTAM.
How the hell is that 7 word phrase with punctuation (I'll ignore the case, as only the first word is capitalised) susceptible to a dictionary attack?
If I tell you that my password contains 7 words (contained in my
I do use random alphanumeric passwords, because I can remember quite a few of them - it takes a while to remember them and it's massively annoying when I have to change one.
However for my company's keepass file, I use a pass-phrase that is an incorrect quotation from a well know poem - go on, have a guess.
They're overrated - getting all the spokes out of the carcase is worse than plucking a pheasant any day. Also, the thighs don't tend to have much meat on them.
No, the search string was:
if(version,startswith("windows 9")
I'm guessing the person who ran the search made the assumption the search engine query is comma delimited, but was in fact space delimited.
I noticed the abundance of java files too, searchcode.com seems to match a whole load of Python files which don't even match the search string - go figure. However I wouldn't really call it observational bias - you run a search for a piece of text and you see a correlation in the results. The code fragment being searched for is "fairly" language neutral - it would match most CLR languages in addition to java, javascript, python etc. What's more interesting is why the OS detection is being done in the first place - the cynic in me says it's probably because they're using the OS version to make assumptions about file system locations.
On the plus side, some of the java files are checking the version number as well as the OS name, so at least that's something.
Shame there's not some method for inserting plain text into code that will explain what you're doing, but has no effect on the actual compiled application. Maybe we could call them comments or something.
Or maybe there's some way of referencing a number, but with a name which describes what the number is so that it can be reused. It's be great if you could guarantee that the number couldn't be changed. Hmm, what could we call that?
Brilliant - I normally check the links, but this time I *assumed* I'd copied and pasted it correctly,
The Bramble Bank in the central Solent does the same. It's also the location for an annual cricket match. I've hit it numerous time when racing, but never actually seen it.
The argument may be tired because it keeps being dragged out. it's certainly not tired of being incorrect though. I'd like to see a world where it can retire in peace, living out its days in a wicker chair with a rug over it's legs telling the youth "you've never had it so good".
