I love Fear Mongering, mainly in the Halloween season.
But seriously, wtf? 2093 is the future, and based on past predictions of the future, I think we have no idea what life is going to be like, good or bad. Science hasn't failed us, like always, human arrogance fails us.
CP/M needs to die in a fire, and be buried, never to be remembered where it belongs.
That stupid piece-of-shit OS couldn't have more then 8.3 characters in filenames when Apple DOS 3.3 had 30 characters (including spaces!); Apple ProDOS had 15 characters the latter which even had sub-directories!
Good bye and good riddance to CP/M -- the OS that held Microsoft, MSDOS, and Windows back for decades. Even _today_ you _still_ see Windows using 8.3 filenames in Windows\System32 !?
I'm a bit lost on how CP/M held back MS, since MSDOS was never compatible with CP/M, and MS choose to stay with the 8.3 filename for as long as they did. If you want to get mad, get mad at MS for not forward thinking when they bought QDos from Seattle Computing and not changing the filename limitation. Shit, get mad at Seattle Computing for putting a 8.3 limitation in QDos, since by your statement it isn't MS's fault that they left things as they are.
Apple is sending out $100 million worth of iPads, MacBooks, and other products. O'Reilly Media is making $100 million worth of educational content available for free. Microsoft and Autodesk are discounting software.
Apple is giving away HARDWARE and Microsoft is offering a discount on software.
I'd be ashamed to work for Microsoft right now.
I'd be ashamed to work for MS at any time in it's history tbh.
Praise BOB!
Kill Bob!
In BBC BASIC, a colon is a statement terminator, much like a semicolon in languages with C-style syntax. The linked code is therefore not a one-liner by any meaningful definition of the term. One could replace all of the linefeeds in Linux kernel source with semicolons and other appropriate terminators. That wouldn't make the kernel a one-liner.
If it's a one-line program, why is it more than one line?
A line of code is not the same as a line on a screen. The program won't fit on one line on most screens, but it will fit on one line of BBC BASIC, which fortunately has a well defined, but short maximum length of 256 characters. The whole program is 257 bytes as there is an extra byte to mark the end of the program.
this is the year of the linux VR.
So, they've said that they knew something like this was going to happen eventually.. If they knew it was going to happen eventually, they should have planned for it. And, if they were happy with the security measures before, why do they need to change them now?
Let's keep this in context.. One guy, seemingly acting alone, shot a few people. Unfortunately he did it on government land, so the instant response is 'Terrorism'.
One guy (well, two if you count our PM), screwing with our freedoms.
Sounds to me like this was planned. Push a crazy psycho into doing something really dumb on Government property, or to a soldier/government worker. Then push thru agenda you want.
Nice, here I live in Seattle, just off of downtown, can't get fiber optics, but hey, whatever. fuckers.
So what I really gather from this is encrypted apps can't be check, scan or searched for what the contents hold? Really?
And seriously, hiding a payload inside something else isn't new, that's been around for decades at least.
So in other words, don't install apps I have no idea where they come from? Sounds good to me.
No. In the U.S. cartoon images ARE protected by the First Amendment. This was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2002. (Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, 535 U.S. 234 (2002)). Sometimes our Supreme court DOES get it right!
Just don't take them over the border to Canada...
That's a terrible name. What are they, fourteen?
Seems like they are just stealing it from Friday Night Smackdown, a WWE show.
I hope they have deep pockets, because I don't think WWE will let Smackdown be used without a fight.
You consider $230 a considerable amount of money? Do you live in Sub-Saharan Africa or some shit? Try something by Audeze next time, mister big spender.
I'm an American and I think $230 is a considerable amount of money to spend on stuff. Mainly on crappy headphones.
It's getting to the point where you can't trust anything these days, because the NSA or other criminals seem to have access to your data.
And remember, the FBI head dude doesn't want you to use encryption.
Is this the America we are supposed to be proud of?
I was saying that "lobbying" and "bribery" have actual definitions as words.
So do you just ignore all facts that conflict with your narrative and make up word definitions as needed?
ya, watch it bud, that sort of talk gets you voted into office, or made the head of a big corporation...
"Eltern haften für Ihre Kinder" => "Parents are liable for their Children"
Is a sign that is used around construction sites in Germany. I have seen it all my life but it basically is complete bullshit.
There are a LOT of cases where children may damage the property of others but the parents will not have to pay.
I don't know who makes these retarded laws.

* 2014 and Slashdot has problems with Umlauts - why do I still come here?
Not here in the USA, parent's are financially responsible for their children until they are 18. I know because I got emancipated when I was 17 because I had left home at 16 and my parents didn't want to be responsible for anything I did.
