Yea! One of the things I loved about the first movie was that it was flawless about the logic. There was an absolutely logic explanation to why we see people jumping between impossible building gaps, and disappear in phone bots.
That was completely ruined at the end of the second movie with the telekinetic stuff, so unless they justify that with some-kind of a multilevel depth of matrixes, the next movies can't be nothing more than entertainment to me .
so i suppose saying "correlation is not causation" is of value if the average slashdot reader is a 12 year old. but otherwise,
It is when you continue try to make a relation between who uses that phrase and the dumbness of who uses that phrase out of context. Since you are continually making a "correlation with causation", I'm pointing the irony of your comments. See that I'm not saying you are ironic, I'm pointing the irony of your comments.
To reach the value of an argument you can't attack the people who uses that argument as a way of reaching the real value of the argument. That's not being honest. You have to discuss the argument itself.
other than conveniently labelling yourself for everyone else's sake as the idiot in the room
Based on your last phrase, perhaps it's too much to ask for you to discuss arguments rather than attacking people who use them.
"Correlation is not equal to causation" is what an unintelligent person says when they wish to sound intelligent. it's something they once heard they thought was clever, and they think that by aping this simpleminded thought they are adding something to the conversation, when they are just generating useless noise
an intelligent person would actually be looking at the merits or lack thereof of the correlation, and talking about if causation is implied or not
Perhaps, but even considering true that most people who use that phrase are unintelligent wishing to sound intelligent, It doesn't mean that all people using that phrase are unintelligent and using the phrase out of context. To support what I'm saying: "correlation is not causation"
I would take it a step further. You are inherently installing malware when using jailbreak/rooting tools. The fact that you are intentionally using and benefiting from the malware doesn't mean it isn't malware.
I believe you are wrong. The mere fact that you are intentionally using ( inherently informed consent), disqualifies jailbreak/rooting as malware.
From wikipedia: "Malware (also: scumware), short for malicious software, is software designed to secretly access a computer system without the owner's informed consent. "
The proposal is to "censor the entire net in Australia"
What a surprise, encryption has flaws!
RTFA. It's not about flaws in encryption. It's about "ASP.NET's implementation of AES has a bug in the way that it deals with errors when the encrypted data in a cookie has been modified"
So it's the ASP.NET AES implementation that has flaws. The problem seems to be that the errors reveal enough information about how to decrypt the data.
I think it's a good idea for them to change the passwords
I think that too. But perhaps a better approach would be to contact people first asking permission, don't you think. Perhaps they didn't do that because it's a little more expensive than just running a script to automatically change default passwords to cover their asses.
Every time someone did a disconnect they had to send back equipment or pay a fee for not returning it
IANAL, Even if that is true, the router is rented, so it belongs while he pays his connection. In my country and I think in most countries, a landlord can't enter in any of his rented houses without consent of the people who live there. By your way of thinking Verizon could enter your network even if you protected it, just because they own the router.

So, without an industry that is strong in copyright, the country has no major incentives to be a strong proponent of copyright.

I don't know whether there are any other self-taught coders such as myself who can back this up
Yes there are plenty around to back you up. And I'm one of them. And I do a Pepsi-challenge with my code, with many out there with computer science degrees.
I agree with you about the shitty code out there. I simply can't agree with anything else you've wrote.
Why do you assume that only people with Computer Science background should be writing code? Your post also just assume that because he is a security guard, that he just should write code that would never see the light of the day. That's plain stupid you know.
The submitter already told me two thing with his article. First is that he truly loves programming, and second is that he is able to self study any language without the need of a course where he could ask many questions about issues he didn't understood.
That's more than I find in many people with a computer related education. Your computer science background can teatch you important concepts, and the right way to do things. It can be a valuable and important background. It can't teach you how to be creative with your algorithms, and how to be smart enough to write complex programs.

* Windows XP with SP2 or a later version
* Microsoft
* Windows Imaging Component
* 250 MB or more of hard disk space
* A 1.0-gigahertz (GHz) processor (2.8 GHz or faster is recommended)
* 256 MB of system memory (1 GB is recommended)
* A 32-MB video card (256 MB is recommended) that supports Microsoft DirectX 9, with 3D hardware acceleration enabled
* A high-speed or broadband Internet connection
I have moonlight(linux silverlight implemented with mono) installed, and looking by the requirement specifications I guess you are wrong.
Also - a lot of Bing Maps is beta or just freshly out of Beta. I'm using their API on web sites where I am asked to integrate a map as it just really works better IMHO.
Also by the obvious specs above I guess they will never support Linux, so I guess I will never know how much better it works unless I buy their OS.
I have a rule of thumb here. I don't buy proprietary software to browse the web. I'm probably crazy.
