Windoze is finally going to RT(F)M? Does this mean they are finally going to learn how to write an operating system?

"Someone" has clearly never read the definition of the term "free market."

Either that, or he has read it, and is trolling.

Your error is in assuming that any & all attackers would be from the outside.

Not a safe assumption.

Dunno why this didn't occur to me before. It just hit me why Dr. Paul is so hated here on slashdot:

Ron Paul has actually SEEN a human vagina!

Not just one, but thousands of 'em! No wonder the /. crowd is so envious of him.

Nice Straw Man.

In the future, please consider criticizing what he has actually said and written, instead of using words put in his mouth by people who hate him.

Thanks in advance.

Oops. I had forgotten about that. You are correct, sir (I presume you're a sir).

I hereby amend my challenge to:

Name ONE thing Obama has wanted (besides preventing a President Hillary) that is actually good for the country.

Not only that, but the story has been filtered through a journalist who is likely clueless. I wouldn't get my panties in a wad over Dr. Paul's words (without at least checking first to see what he actually meant) if I were you.

Uh... dude, have you actually READ the proposed "net neutrality" rules?

Hint: They have nothing to do with what you and I mean by "net neutrality." They're just a Government power-grab, and nothing else. THAT is what Dr. Paul opposes.

Name ONE thing Obama has wanted that is actually good for the country.

Go ahead, I'm holding my breath waiting for it. Oh, wait a minute...

What? Are YOU new here?

Hint: The political groupthink here is WAAAAAAY to the left of Dr. Paul.

Yes, I published them. One year later.

When I was a sysadmin at a certain Bible college known for its weak security, I collected the password hashes of the students & faculty and ran them through a cracker (John the Ripper if I remember correctly), then sent out a mass email with the decrypted passwords, sorted by the amount of time it took to crack them.

Yeah, the majority of them were cracked within five seconds. Of course, I omitted the information on just whose passwords they were.

Dunno if it resulted in anyone actually doing something about their passwords though.

I wouldn't bank on that if I were you. I just had a particularly raucous joke of mine modded +3 Insightful in the last couple of days.

... will be a device that makes the girls' locker room walls invisible!

Mod parent up. I've been waiting to see someone post some actual facts on this issue, and this (above) is the first I've seen.

FACT: China spent years dumping rare earths into the US market below their cost, which drove all of the US RE mines out of business.

FACT: Then China started cutting back on their exports. Voila! Prices go up!

Do you see where this goes? Hint: it has nothing to do with the environment. That's a smoke screen. It's all about dominating the world supply, and that's the only thing it's about.

China's problem is, of course, that the US rare earth deposits are still here, in the ground. And with prices going back up to where they should be, US corps are starting to re-open those mines.

One could easily speculate that China's "stockpiling" is so that they can again put US miners out of business with another round of dumping. However, that idea might be viewed by some as too cynical....

Fun fact: If you live in or near SoCal, you can go see this mine. It's right beside I-15 near the top of the hill near the Nipton exit (which IIRC is the last exit before entering Nevada). You can't see it very well from the freeway, but it's there.
