um, this counts as cracking their encryption. Just because you can't efficiently perform a "cleartext" digital translation (it is analog sound...) doesn't mean you can't read the message.

And now that Microsoft has bought them for 8.5 billion: LMAO.

Fuck you Ballmer.

What's the next hottest crack target? THIS. Obviously it will be owned, and abused for spam.

Either that, or it will be owned by a ~11yo and everyone, everywhere will get "an urgent message form the president" which is actually a picture of his thing. * or hers; equality.

Is there a rule # for this? Surely there is? If it has eyeballs, it will be spammed, or porned.

And somewhere is Rule #1337: If you build it big enough, it will be cracked in an inversely related fractional amount of time it took to 'perfect'.

ColdFusion for systems management automation?? What the hell? that's so off-base, I'm offended. Whatcha going to do, install coldfusion on EVERY system you are going to automate? Bizarre.

The sad lack in modern education is history. One reason our modern politics is so thoroughly screwed up is that a high quality understanding of history has been lost to the general population for a century.

I was looking hard to see if anyone had a glimpse of why greek and latin are important to education. You almost nailed it.

We've lost the art of teaching of how to think. The gentlemanly Greek and Latin were taught towards skills in reading texts, not in conversing to Joe Greek on the street about how he feels today; the pupil is then empowered to read many great and early works documenting the foundation and thought, and its progression, that form the fundamentals of our knowledge in philosophy, government, sciences and mathematics. Reading the literature of the time in the original source language conveys the subtext much more fluidly, thus enabling full comprehension. Individual languages are colored by the culture speaking it: Much is lost in translation. If you are to understand how to think, and achieve parity with where we have already tread in thought, then you need to understand first-hand how we arrived at the present knowledge, complete with the traps and tangents, not just the right answer. You learn how temporary some right answers are, giving you the humility and perspective to grow beyond the works of mankind thus far.

I would submit the math requirements are common in the core requirements of any Bachelor of Sciences degree, rather than specific to a Computer Science major.

If you don't want to master basic college-level math to earn a sciences degree, then perhaps you should be lobbying academics to offer a Bachelor of Arts with a Applications Development major instead.

For example, I use virtual desktops. The first one is reserved for stuff involving root.

You missed the point when started referring to a gui window manager of any sort.

I moved to the south four years ago. Sometimes, I think the motto should be "The South: Afraid of Knowledge for over 200 years". FTFY.

Gladly took those troll points to point out how extremely stupid the subject matter is: truly a troll technology. Plus all the horrors of grammar mistakes in the bits of the post Timothy is responsible for: " Ski Lifts Can Could Help Get Cargo Traffic Off the Road "... except instead of excerpt.

This is a fucking stupid submission.

Stop the snow job. He's a military intelligence vet and a man with a Poly Sci degree. So what if he's unemployed after he leaves the service? It's tough out there. The ABC interview was a butchering.

P.S.: Oh, and don't dare to taint towel day with the lamest drawn character of all time. You know who I mean. That one of South Park infame.

Amazing how some of y'all just don't get the homage of the towelie character to HGTTG.

What's the answer? 42.

Think about it for a minute.

And Don't Forget Your Towel.

Well that's called blackmail. I'm not sure you were trolling or not.

Well fuck us for giving a damn and materially supporting orgs like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC).

As far as I can tell, this idea that somehow this could become a supervolcano and an extinction event seems completely unsupported by the AC's post...

So please, could I have one cite from a scientist even possibly suggesting that? What was said by the software engineer in the examiner blog isn't supported by anything other than his assertion... and only really by his metaphor of calling it a volcano of oil.

I call this talking out of his ass unless more can be presented.

I would think because Adobe doesn't want thousands of people pointing and laughing at their source code. Not to mention all the refactoring they'd need to perform to get around serious issues that remain undiscovered in its closed source form.
