Does reading a PERL script that implements company phone book and taking plain text user and password to implement a better phone book for personal use constitute hacking?

Yah, but can we please do it on the moon!

>Thinking about the eventual fate of the universe and our current home is something that we should all do at some point.

Valid point. Question: why does one need to make unverifiable extrapolations to do that?

Can somebody explain why this stuff matters? I mean speculation without a chance of experimental verification?

I listened to a dramatic program on NPR about licing in India and they mentioned that "green revolution" had significant harmful effect of using chemicals in agriculture of the Third world. They are getting out of it now, in the process.

>Maybe I'm an idealist

"Something wrong on the internet" :-) I am familiar with that feeling.

Take it easy, bro

That is not true. Just yesterday I saw a highly upvoted (32 votes as far as I remember) Reddit comment linked to Slashdot article.

>Ok, what's the point of this stressed metaphor?

Fun? :-)

When people meet fun they often forgot that the purpose is to laugh, and being too hard on a person who tries to make you laugh does not benefit that purpose at all. :-)

If something intended as fun does not seem funny to you the best thing is to ignore it.

With 8 stitches in my hand, not more than 12 hours ago. I have just gained new respect for multirotors, they are powerful beast.

I really really hope that Amazon puts proper protection in them drones so there are no injuries. The little toy one I have spins at around 5000 rpm with rotors with 16 inches propellers. It can cause serious injuries, just ask my hand.

Who will be responsible if an injury does occur, which they will. If you look at the Amazon prime air demo, the customer asks the drone to descend via his smartphone. Say there is a 5 year old standing under this thing or comes running in its direction, are there smarts in the drone to abort the mission. Who is responsible for the injury, Amazon or the customer who sent the descend order?

At the risk of repeating Lord Kelvin's folly: science is almost over, that's the root of the "data" problem. Data is so complex, because we exhausted simple systems, and we are trying to tackle irreducible systems.

It's a fallacy.

That is what Saudi Arab is, another dude 8 years for raping, torturing and killing his own 5 year old daughter.

Obama is the worst POTUS in modern history. He chose to push his controversial radical and divisive medical reform law in the worst possible moment of history, amidst the worst economic world crisis since 30s.

All in all it's just another brick in the wall

>because they asked me to make one for work.

Mind blown.
