Not having a degree in CS has not been an impediment for me. It just rises the bar for the technical interview, which is nice.

It's more complicated than that. They are not creating direct connections to the target, that would be too easy to prevent as you only had to block certain IP addresses. They are creating bogus requests to millions of misconfigured DNS servers around the world, making those servers respond to the victim's address. You would have to block millions of IP addresses to prevent something like this, and even if you managed to do that in your firewall the amount of traffic would most certainly bring down your ISP.
LOL
That's beside the point. Here you have a trained killer threatening to severe heads with an axe. I don't know if it's a crime per se, but it's something the government would be held liable if they don't investigate. The truth is that there are a lot of nutjobs, but when you have trained person threatening to use such training to attack the government it would be irresponsible not to act.
Facebook is forced by law to monitor and report on such activities. This is non news.

... including Chavez supporters and ALL THE OPOSITION. In fact, this is the ONLY issue, after 13 years, where both sides agree completely.

It's very easy to have an opinion when you live in a first world country. But when you have experienced the level of violence on the streets (regardless of your support or not for the regime), this measure is like a (small) breath of air.
Our situation is very different than in other countries. In all my life I've seen, while walking on the street, 4 people get killed by gunshots. All of them robberies. How many people can claim to have witnessed that much crime while simply walking on the street? And the first one was when I was 10 years old
Violence runs on the blood of the people here. It's a really sad state of affairs. You can be shot for not letting a car pass, or just looking at the wrong woman on the street.
I'm not saying that this is a perfect solution, or that this will solve all of our problems. This will not solve the deep problems that cause people to kill each other like nothing happened. But for once EVERYONE is at least trying, regardless of political views. And I really hope they succeed.
I haven't posted a journal here in almost three years, because I couldn't find the button to start a new entry.
So... hi, Slashdot. I used to be really active here, but now I mostly lurk and read. I've missed you.
They are using it to pump the economy. The heating produced by this cluster must be cooled with extra air conditioning systems, increasing the demand for power and for air conditioning unis, thus creating new jobs and incentivizing the research for new energy sources.
