>> Obama administration's push to make community college free top the list of headwinds

I lean conservative, but I call BS here. Obama's push was dead on arrival and largely forgotten.

>> And non-profit universities have entered the online education space, where for-profit schools once held center stage.

I'm not even sure I believe this. To save money and graduate faster, I picked up many of my 100's and 200's via "telecourses" I purchased through my local community college...and that was in the early 1990s.

>> sick of seeing these 'one simple|weird trick' spams

Ditto. Five years ago, I'd say this one slipped through SlashDot's filter. However I'm afraid this is the new normal.

On second thought, it looks like the AV company is staffed with idiots.

>> keys is that they may collide with a legitimate key just by the sheer numbers...when you think you’re building a product for just a few people you don’t hash out these details...

C'mon guys. Your wrote your own clue in the summary. (Starts with "h" rhymes with "trash"...)

>> cracked or pirated version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Really? Could anyone on SlashDot really be this dumb?

>> you can be a big boy and say...

Kind of depends on the corporate web filter. YMWV :)

Jesus Spaghetti, if we're stuck with f***ing polls on SlashDot, how about one that, I don't know, has ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH TECH. OOOOAAHH OOOHHHH!!!!!

>> some reference that shows the Spanish government was fiscally irresponsible prior to the global financial crisis in 2008

I'll bite. TLDR: they spent too much money and allowed their banks to behave irresponsibly.

"...ballooning tax revenues (from the artificially high GDP growth rate) concealed the Spanish government's expenditures, which were unsustainably high, until 2007. The Spanish government supported the critical development by relaxing supervision of the financial sector and thereby allowing the banks to violate International Accounting Standards Board standards. So the banks in Spain were able to hide losses and earnings volatility, mislead regulators, analysts, and investors, and thereby finance the Spanish real estate bubble. The results of the crisis were devastating for Spain, including a strong economic downturn, a severe increase in unemployment, and bankruptcies of major companies."

I think we already do with with libraries and dependencies...just not at the executable level.

Yesterday, I found myself saying, "if you know someone who still has cable..."

>> he rich and the smart money left Greek a few months ago, and it is Joe Sixpack that is trapped and going to get shafted

Pretty much this, and there's been plenty of coverage for anyone who would listen, but I'll bet it wasn't on the evening TV news (or whatever "Joe Sixpack" consumes in Greece).

>> *One-man* government program writes his own audit to ask for more money.

You laugh, but in ten years, if this went through as a US Government program I'd fully expect to see:

* Undersecretary of NEO Defense
* 2 Directors of NEO Defense (Homeland and Foreign)
* 5 staff assistants for Undersecretary and Directors
* 5 NEO Program Managers and a $20M technology budget
* 2 NEO Project Managers to handle the implementation (and expected missed deadlines)
* Full salaries, benefits and pensions for everyone, plus the original guy who has now retired
* ...and still only one man actually doing any work.

>> alternative currencies like Bitcoin suddenly look much more attractive

The problem most Greeks suddenly face is that their money is now locked up as electronic balances in banks that have shut down for a week and won't let them have more than 60 euros at a time. After crises like this (even America's own "great recession"), people tend to prefer forms of money are more than just bits or fiat paper, such as gold and silver.

This mash-up of digit-heavy tweets is a crappy SlashDot summary of a sort we haven't seen before.

Doesn't Dice pay editors for this kind of stuff?

TLDR: Government program commissions its own audit to ask for more money.
