Your solution is "don't travel so much?" With all due respect, go fuck yourself. We already pay fees on airline tickets to pay for things like this. If the system cannot handle the current load, then the system needs to be upgraded.
I may be naive, but it's difficult for me to believe that someone thought up the attack vector from just thinking about shells in general.
It's not that hard to believe, maybe someone was designing some piece of software where they wanted to use functionality like that. They wanted to have the browser end up defining a function in bash, and then run some additional code, and did some tests to see if it would work. They found that not only will it work, but it will work a whole lot better than they thought it would. At that point, time to tell someone.
Who is giving away their time to code review the work of thousands of neophyte programmers?
Probably exactly the same kind of people who answer questions on Stack Overflow or any of the other multitude of programming fora. Believe it or not, but some people like to help just because they enjoy it. I do it because answering random questions can be a nice break in the middle of work and it keeps me thinking about programming (especially problems that I wouldn't encounter in my normal work flow). It helps keep me sharp instead of only ever thinking about what I'm working on.
I like this quote:
"It's remarkable to me that people have figured out how to use it."
That is a truly self-aware software developer saying that. Sometimes I feel the same way, I'll design something that will work really well, but once I put it in front of people I realize it doesn't make a lot of sense. But still, there are people who can dive in and pick it up from the start. It's remarkable to me as well when people can figure out how to use my software.
These prizes should go to people who contribute to the scientific community in such a way as to better humanity. no one gives 2 shits about why banana peels are slippery.
Somewhere right now, someone is posting an outraged message on Facebook about how scientists got a Nobel Peace Prize for research on banana peels, and suggesting that we cut all science funding.
The two do tend to contradict when religious teachings make incorrect claims about natural phenomena.
I don't even think it's just the Kurds. The Sunni and Shia populations don't have a great record of getting along either. It sounds like each of them need their own country, instead of the European-drawn borders of Iraq and Syria. Those borders need to be re-drawn along religious lines instead of some arbitrary border. Break up the two countries and replace them with a Shia state, a Sunni state, and a Kurdish state and things might quiet down for a while. Sadly, countries like Iran and Turkey would not be happy about that, because their Kurdish populations would want some Iranian and Turkish territory to become Kurdish. There are a lot of different aspects to this thing, and everyone is looking out for number 1.
Jesus is quoting the priests' law and calling them hypocrites.
You sure about that? To me, it sounds a whole lot like Jesus is quoting God's law.
Jesus replied, "And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God? For instance, God says, 'Honor your father and mother,' and 'Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.' But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, 'Sorry, I can't help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.' In this way, you say they don't need to honor their parents. And so you cancel the word of God for the sake of your own tradition. You hypocrites!"
That looks a whole lot to me like Jesus, the literal Son of God and Savior of all humanity, is quoting God, his father, the creator of everything, as saying "Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death." Are you reading that differently than I am? You're pretty quick to dismiss the criticism, so what do you know that I don't?
Let us not forget that there's nothing inherent to either Christianity or Islam when it comes to fundamentalism.
I think that both religions go a pretty long way to make sure their followers understand that the holy book is the literal word of God. The book itself says so, after all. That's fundamentalism right there. The bible doesn't say that you're allowed to follow the rules you want and ignore the others, they are all supposed to be followed.
By favorite part of the bible is how Eve got everyone evicted from paradise for eating forbidden fruit from the Tree Of Knowledge. It looks like ISIS is right on board with that. God doesn't want people to have knowledge, and ISIS is happy to lead the charge.
No, I think the only option is to go in and kill every last one of them, like the vermin infestation that they are.
Congratulations, you thought of the same strategy as them.
Here's my own anecdote:
My maternal grandfather had a PhD in organic chemistry, was an inventor, a professional chemist, and taught at a university. He had a son, who would eventually go on to work for Apple and retire early. That son had a daughter early in life, although he never acknowledged her. She tracked him down decades later and that's when I even became aware of her. She, without any knowledge of her family, pursued a degree and career in aquatic biology, a science profession like her father and grandfather. She shares a lot of common interests and aptitudes without ever knowing her family history while making her academic or career decisions. For what it's worth, I'm a programmer and I'm also fascinated by a wide range of scientific fields.
Did they look at the CVs of those 100,000 people? How many where self-made *gasp* one-percenters?
I'd wager about 1,000 of them.
That account probably defaults to a rating of 2 because of higher karma in the past, people didn't necessarily moderate it up.
But me with my creationinst christian views gets a bad karma rating.
That does tend to happen.
Aspirin is a trademark or Bayer.
Heroin used to be also. They marketed it as a non-addictive substitute for morphine.
Say "twenty-three-skiddoo" to logout.
