Maybe this is just the malware they expected people to find. Think of how many people now have a greater false sense of security because this group was "taken down".
You're right... the real problem malware is of course the stuff that I can't detect on my pc! Quick, pass my tinfoil hat and gloves.
>> the liberating power of the Internet is based on its freedom and statelessness
"In 1995!" says Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
(Seriously, where do you begin. Server logs, cookies, magic URLs, IP lookups, etc.)
You beat me to it - but my concise reply was going to be...
" the liberating power of the Internet "
Citation needed.
It's almost like they don't want a pure meritocracy?
The feminist movement is not about being treated as equals; it's about identifying a majority (seriously!) of the human population as "victims" in order to gain wealth and political power 'advocating' on their behalf.
Chromosome-gate?
Real one: "Your friends and colleagues will be amazed at your new size"
Colleagues??!! So after swallowing the blue pill I am going to run through the office with my new enlarged, em, tool in my hand and show it off? Seriously?!?!
Heck, if I were your colleague or friend, I'd be amazed if you did that.
My thoughts too.
I refuse to vote in these idiotic type ones. Hopefully a lower turnout will show how unwanted they are.
Damn right. Why, I won't even post in this thread.
How much of a vested interest does Gartner have in this technology?
Your conspiracy theory is backwards. If they had a vested interest in more automation, they would want to keep it low profile.
Unless Gartner themselves are robots! Quick, spread the word before it's too late!
So obesity in America is a snowball effect and cannot be stopped.
Look at photographs from the sixties and seventies of Americans or even earlier. Normal people. From the eighties onward they've become walking Bibendums. It's tragic if you think about it. An entire people incapable of eating healthy food. Children are obese, parents are obese. It's clear something went wrong between the seventies and the eighties. What ?
Marketing. I watched a show "The man who made us fat". Someone in a fast food chain (ok, I didn't pay a lot of attention...) worked out that if you gave out bigger portions and charged more, people still ate it all rather than leave it half-finished and 'waste it'.
Makes sense, if you think of it. When's the last time you just said "that's it, I've had enough" and didn't finish a meal that you'd paid for? (Especially a dessert...)
You guys make it sound like making millions in the stock market is dead simple. All your posts are missing is a link to an ebook that tell you all the secrets.
Maybe downplaying his gains makes you feel better about yourselves? But making that kind of scratch doesn't happen by change. Even best advisors from open hedge and mutual funds average around 25%.
Count the hits, ignore the misses. Maybe he was just lucky. And yes, someone can be that lucky. People win lotteries (not me!). And slashdot wouldn't have an article along the lines of "Several normal people played the stockmarket and on average did so-so".
I'm sitting right now in a room with about a dozen 'obvious' computers. Let's see: 3 PCs, one laptop, one Mac Mini, 2 Raspberry Pis, 3 Android tablets, one iPhone, one iPad. Yep that's 12. And of course there's also the wireless router and cable modem. And I'll go ahead and count my LCD TV since it's clearly a computer as well (especially when it locks up). Oh, and I shouldn't forget the Wii and PS2 even though I don't use those very often. Clearly computers -are- my toys.
I take it you're single? No slight intended. Whenever my PC count got above , where was the number I could keep off the floor, my wife would suggest that I 'pass on' a few to deserving homes.
