Dammit Jim, BRAKE!!! It's a BRAKE, not a BREAK. BREAKS keep your car from working, BRAKES keep it from BREAKING.

I pulled this off yesterday, though I was only half-trolling. I was serious about the solvent / bacteria, the crack about panicking hippies was amusing. http://news.slashdot.org/comme...

Agree... seems like a substantial portion of society doesn't want to be free if it means having the illusion of security (financial and/or physical).

Anything else would be....

.... uncivilized.

This is nothing, I once got a Navy Achievement Medal (one step down from a Commendation medal) for setting up a mail alias on my own domain for my reserve unit to use for group communications, and for installing and updating anti-virus software on the unit's laptops. It all literally took me half an hour to complete.

Maybe, but I don't think so. First of all, for this "exploit" to have been around so many years, it's interesting how I've never heard of it actually being used to hack or vandalize a system... second, if someone is already able to write arbitrary filenames, they're already into your system; if it's a normal user, you'd be able to track down who it is... it just seems like a really "weak" exploit, if I'd call it an exploit at all. IOW, IMO, nothing to see here.

You know, that's a very underrated movie. Watched it on Netflix, an analogy would be that move is like a really good, long episode of Star Trek.

NCR / Aloha has been much, much worse.

Hey now, people of PopeRatzo's stature are hard to find. Are you saying there are people that think short of him?

Or is this issue a horse of a different color?

I know math is hard, but there simply are not enough administrators to account for all the money. This is the typical union canard.

The truth is, at many colleges, the full time faculty have gobbled up all the salary and benefits, despite teaching a small minority (~25%) of the courses. They limit the pay and hours of the part timers who teach 3/4 of the classes. So the part time faculty are limited to 60% weekly load hours, less per hour, and locked into a cycle of lower middle class or outright poverty.

Typical union greed: They accrue all the goods for a small minority, at the expense of the unemployed or underemployed.

The best part is, even the janitors have tenure. So what gets cut first? Classes - the ones taught by part timers.

Ask me how I know...

This is actually false. In some countries it's substantially cheaper; in many of those, it's subsidized by the government (instead of taxed) because they understand that it keeps their economy moving.

Also, in many countries where gasoline is expensive, they've switched to LPG and/or CNG for most cars, which in those countries is FAR cheaper than gasoline (in either their country or the US).

instead you frequently write new complaints

LOL - nothing I do on this site is "frequent".

you couldn't make that shit up by just banging randomly at your keyboard

Don't need to. The liberal trolls (like yourself) are nothing if not completely predictable.

or are the accounts you complain about actually you, and when you write as railgunner you're just an act? the argument in favor of you expressing the opposite of your actual beliefs in this account are becoming stronger on a routine basis.

Gee, that sounds strangely like something d_r would write, as well as being completely ridiculous. This further proves that all liberal trolls are essentially redundant, and that the world will be a better place if they all went and played in traffic.

Pointing, not aiming. Aiming might take a little bit more time... pointing your rifle from one side to the other is done very quickly... then aiming it at a target takes a little longer. I don't have a rifle, but in movies and news footage, I see soldiers and SWAT team members often going at least 60 degrees left and right, if not more, in the blink of an eye.

Good point. I guess he realized there wasn't and racism by the company. But you're right... people who insist on equality, and therefore seek to make it so by focusing only on candidates of a particular race (or sex) are themselves being racist (or sexist).
