Yea, that's a good site to trust to tell me about networking
The Russian politician was far from obscure, well known and very vocal as a matter of fact. He was also against Putin and Putin's nut job attempts at bringing back the Cold War. He was someone we like, not someone we'd want to kill.
Your conspiracy theory only makes sense if you know absolutely nothing at all about what's actually going on.
Seagate is correct. Putting a hash on the website doesn't improve security at all because anyone who can change the download can also change the web page containing the hash.
Which is why I always laugh my ass off at all these people who use PGP to sign things and put a hash on the same website you download it from
And that my friends is why PGP is effectively useless in the real world unless you physically exchange keys securely.
I'd be shocked if it didn't have remote root holes accessible via network,
Contrary to popular belief, being 'old' does not instantly make you exploitable.
Its not like it runs Oracle Java (maybe it does, maybe it doesn't)
Its probably not LISTENing on the network, in which case its probably fairly safe, how many years has it been since theres been a remote kernel exploit of ANY kind, let alone one that'll get you some sort of access to run code?
But how do you know which is the real site?
Its the first result in the Google search response
In case you haven't noticed, many of the original TLDs have names that are meant to redirect people from the legitimate site to a scam, adding more doesn't make it anything new.
I would argue however, if they're going to play these TLD bullshit games, just stop and get rid of the concept of a TLD. Let people register whatever they want except for existing TLDs and move on.
Well, its
Drawing on a computer is far slower than grabbing a marker and doing it on the whiteboard. You ever try writing text with a mouse?
Whiteboards are NOT FOR CODE, I think thats another problem you're having. You draw flowcharts and make notes on the whiteboard, not write down code that then gets transcribed and compiled.
If you can't express the idea in text and text alone, then you haven't broken it down properly
A picture is worth a thousand words, FOR A REASON.
And you're an idiot.
I don't need to write a manuscript to describe an abstract problem when a couple boxes and some lines will do the same thing. That doesn't mean I've given exact specifications for a problem either.
Anyone who has worked with UML and any real programming language will know that this is true. One UML diagram can result in hundreds of thousands of lines of unnecessary Java code.
Anyone who has worked with UML and thinks you convert that to code doesn't understand code, they've just bought into the UML hype (thats still happening? WTF I thought it died 15 years ago). You seem to think the drawing is the code, and again, you're an idiot. The drawing is a way to describe whats happening in an abstract way so others have a general idea of the concept. It IS NOT the code, its abstract logic.
UML and Java
And thats what he's asking for, but distributed.
This is not a new question, comes up in my office rather often as we have a lot of teams working from different parts of the world. I'm curious as to see what others have to say myself as we've considered a side project to create a distributed whiteboard that doesn't suck ourselves.
One that shares the display between more than one location, as well as does neat things like letting you export documents from the drawings such as flowcharts and things like that.
But that's just where the usefulness ends. Sure, you now appreciate rock music, but can you play it in real life on real instruments?
Umm, yeah, and how many video game skills do you apply to daily life?
Are you an awesome assassin? A race car driver? A pilot? A marine? Are you actually Batman?
It's a frickin game. It is play. Nobody gives a crap in this context about playing an actual instrument. It's frickin air guitar. It's intended to be fun.
Millions of kids bought Guitar Hero and Rock Band to realize their dreams of actually becoming ROCK MUSICIANS.
Horseshit. Millions of kids bought GTA and Saints Row to realize their dreams of become thugs, mac daddies, and pimps.
Do you think any of them actually expect to have that happen? (Well, I guess in some cases the just might.)
Sadly, all the games do is to train you to press colored buttons in sequence with colored lights. Those skills are not transferable to real instruments, and in fact, won't even get you an audition.
Dude, in the 80s there used to be this game called Simon. It had four colored lights to press. You can still buy it.
This is shared fun, with "press colored buttons in sequence with colored lights" but with music and animations. It's not sophisticated or real. It's not for hardcore gamers.
Most 'skills' you practice in video games will never translate into real world skills or get you an interview. So why is this any different?
You don't need to like it or understand it, but it's not completely without entertainment value to some people
No more than any other game with a "make pretend" aspect to it.

Have you tried to get a Windows machine without Windows Media Player?
Whats that? No?
Can you just delete iTunes, which is not integrated with the system and removing it from the system is just a simple matter of deleting the application?
You're seriously trying to compare iTunes to the bullshit that comes on any given Windows machine? That makes you look really really ignorant and/or stupid.
If you weren't so cheap, you could have been buying computers not covered in crap for years. Apple has never sold computers with crap like that on it.
The problem is, you want to pay $100 for a $2000 device and ignore the consequences.
Lenovo hasn't actually done this yet, and when they do, they won't be the first.
LOL
And, obviously, I do not think real drumming is easy, not by a bloody long shot
But prior to that, it was all a blur of screeching noise that I couldn't stand.
Now? Metallica and a bunch of hard core punk are likely to be on my iPod.
As I said, my wife is eternally grateful for the game, as my musical horizons have blown past what they had been.
