So we'll have more programmers who don't get why buffer overflows are bad.
In other words, nothing will change.
Yay for job security!

I don't know about your CS courses. Ours here pretty much expect you to KNOW programming if you want to have a snowball-in-hell chance to graduate.
So I guess the pay for that extra hour you had to work because your boss made you will go to your insurance company...
Of course, provided that he paid you for it in the first place. Else you not only lose time but also money.
The question today ain't so much whether you're paranoid, it's more whether you're paranoid enough.
I mean, think about it. Ponder that you told someone in 1999 that all our email traffic is monitored by the government, that they log and examine every bit you do on the internet, that they use your cell phone to track your every move and that they basically log, store, monitor and evaluate every kind of communication you do, be it via phone or internet, and that they track what you read, who you talk to, what you talk about and what information you access.
Personally, I'd have asked you whether you want to buy a new tinfoil hat, now with even better anti-government shielding.
Today, I'd ponder buying one.
Well, you have to admit, we have every right to.
Technology used to be what sets us free, what allows us to go where nobody went before, to soar and climb to new heights, to liberate ourselves and our dreams.
Today, technology is just a tool for oppression and control, to monitor and to invade our privacy. What we loved has turned into what we hate.
Isn't that enough to make someone cry?
The Republicans will probably be split right down the middle between the religious nutjobs and the other nuts that want to implant it into poor people to keep them from breeding.
Whoopsie. Sorry, was aiming for the pacemaker.
Few of those can be manipulated from the outside while not being under constant supervision in a controlled environment.
And why should I be disallowed removing a parasite from my body?
Killing the idiot trying to draft me would work as an opt-out, wouldn't it?
Nah, why be so hard? You can safe on premiums, up to 20% lower premiums for you if you bend over and
Oh, and while we're at it, your premium just went up by 20%. But you can SAVE 20% as I just told you above!
Why stop at ice cream? There's a lot of activities that have some kind of risk associated with them, it wouldn't be fair to single some out. Riding your bike? 5 bucks to your accident insurance because you could have an accident. Climbing a ladder to change a light bulb? 2 bucks because you could fall down. Fucking
But I really do NOT want to know where the detector for that would have to be located...
Often you can't even defend against it in your private environment. Want power? Gotta accept having a smart meter. Of course you can opt out to live like it's 1799, it's all opt-in, you see?
Don't want to be totally controlled while driving? No problem, you may of course walk. Public transport, you say? Sure, you just have to accept pretty much the same deal as you'd have to in your car.
Even opt-in isn't always really opt-in.
