AT&T Blocks Part of 4chan 342
holdenkarau writes "Several news sources (Mashable, The Inquistr, etc.) are reporting that AT&T is blocking img.4chan.org in the southern United States. That server is used for the infamous /b/ board (the home of anonymous). TechCrunch calls the decision to block 4chan 'stupid,' noting that they may have 'opened perhaps the most vindictive, messy can of worms.' The Inquisitr suggests that 'The global internet censorship debate landed in the home of the free.' moot (who runs 4chan) asks users to call AT&T, while some others suggest more drastic action (like cutting AT&T fiber)." Update: 07/27 09:23 GMT by T : Readers' comments below suggest that a) the purpose of the block was to curtail the effects of a serious DDoS attack and b) that the block has now been lifted, at least for some regions.

Indeed old G5 have only one side button.
New ones have 2 and I prefer their color as well. (I got one of each.
And like GP said, the G5 is an amazing mouse for a very reasonable price.

Screw the middle step.
If you're confident in your "learning skills", just find a 3 months internship.
That's what I am currently doing and it's amazingly rewarding.
Put your studies on hold for a semester and work.
I can't say I had no experience with the middle step. I did code some little projects. But nothing impressive, really.
Where I am, I have to learn things very fast, all the time if I don't want to drown.
And what is great is that I get help from co-workers whenever I need it ( = tried for hours, didn't manage).
Not everyone can learn vi commands by themselves. The senior cobol dev knows it, just ask.
Seriously, I am just so happy I found this job.
Going back to school soon, but then I can say I know some coding.

A little offtopic, but I think a Live CD of Ubuntu that accomplishes this would be great. Just give my kid an older computer with no harddrive and the CD and let them go...
That would be edubuntu right ?

Thank you.
With both your explanations, I can finally understand TFA.
It lacked maths. Badly.
Could you just explain your sentence "Of course, the one running the code would be able to figure out exactly what algorithm you're using."
I don't think it means what I (currently) think it means.
(I don't thank you for the Time Cube reference though)
