You completely missed the point.
I never said to ignore everyone.
I only said you need to be selective in how and how much you spend your time.
If you want to be successful you need to properly manage how your time is spent / invested.
Am I allowed to oppose dumping raw mercury into rivers & streams, if I support freedom to travel by airplane?
You are allowed to dislike anything you want. What you do about it, however, needs to be consistent. If you want government to fight pollution, for example, you should support governmental efforts to fight all of it. If, instead, you prefer the problem be solved by boycotts and lawsuits by the people actually suffering from the ill-effects, then that too view should, also apply to all kinds of pollution.
That said, could you not have come up with a less contrived example? Raw mercury is too valuable for anybody to just dump it into a river...
There's a world of difference between an adobe flash exploit and the availability of a gun that can mow down a large number of people in a matter of seconds.
There is not. Shutting down NYSE, for example, cost billions of dollars. At $10 mln per life, that's hundreds of lives right there...
Regulation's backers say that "this is an industry that has failed to police itself," ACLU's Christopher Soghoian argued, but many including the EFF warn that overly broad legislation would harm more than help.
The usual Statism vs. Libertarianism argument. Whichever side you are on, dear reader, you must be consistent: you can not oppose "regulation" of security researchers while, at the same time, supporting "common sense limits" on gun-ownership, for example.
Shutting the exchange down for a few hours — they've resumed trading already — is not going to move the needle for Chinese interests. China herself has just banned "major stockholders" from selling for six months .
If I were in your shoes, I would've gotten tired of being wrong all the time by now — your stamina is, indeed, quite astounding.
.District Court Judge Wilhelm Norrmann noted that Kivimaki had only been 15 and 16 when he carried out the crimes in 2012 and 2013. Because of this, the court gave him a two-year suspended sentence. Contrast this to the treatment meted out to Aaron Swartz, and the Pirate Bay team.
I know the geek doesn't take it well when one of his own gets more than a slap on the wrist. But arguments like this are ridiculous.
Court documents state that his attacks affected Harvard University and MIT among others, and involved hijacking emails, blocking traffic to websites and the theft of credit card details.
Evidence shown to the court included orders for champagne and shop vouchers.
[The court] confiscated his PC and ordered him to handover ($6,588 US) worth of property obtained through his crimes.
Kivimaki was also accused of being involved in a money laundering scheme involving the virtual currency Bitcoin, which he was said to have used to fund a trip to Mexico.
The security blogger Brian Krebs had previously linked Kivimaki to a notorious hacking group called Lizard Squad, which was involved in a separate, later series of attacks on Sony and Microsoft.
However, Lizard Squad's activities were not mentioned in the court documents.
The military rule for mishaps, that I read somewhere, goes like this:
Are we sure, there are only two major problems today?
No. It's more like a Ford Escort with a JATO engine welded to the roof.
Although the "always in the shop" aspect of the SSDs might be spot on. Then there's the whole "you got the horses but can't actually use them" aspect of "glamour cars". Also probably a good match for SSDs.
Perhaps your attempt to grovel at the feet of the gods of conspicuous consumption wasn't wrong after all...
I have a 2TB drive in my laptop. It's more of a mobile workstation though. It's not intended to be tiny and anemic.
I have over 2000 DVDs and BluRays and they are all nicely organized and tucked away. They take up the equivalent of a single tall IKEA bookshelf and sit in the unused bits of space along the walls of my home theater.
Unless you live in a closet in NYC, that amount of space doesn't even register for most people.
Oracle express limits you to 10G.
Although you can always snag the enterprise version and go crazy with that on your own system if you really want.
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
