This is rather interesting I'd say: considering that BG has vowed to give away 95% of his wealth to charities, and already does give away a shitload of money every year, I find it interesting that his net worth should increase rather than decrease.

stdio functions often lead to stack overflows. News at ten...
What next? Null pointers are bad, m'kay...?

From just one bit of traffic snippet, I can predict that the machine has networking capabilities. Beat that!

Canonical is such a train wreck of a company. Doing it all wrong technically and now politically.

Oh yeah, because Russia today is so much more desirable and has completely stopped all its spying activities.

Closed source software with obscure network protocol, now owned by a corporation whose main concern isn't the users' best interest, turns out to be not so nice after all. News at 10...

The best way to do use Skype for anything more important than saying hello to your grandmother for free on the internet is not to use Skype. Everybody with half a brain has known that for many years.Duh...

if Iran will impose sanctions on the United States...

Within 6 years is a pretty easy prediction if you ask me.

My prediction: "100% of those who scored below 100 percent on the test will be stone cold within 100 years at the most". I guarantee it's 100% accurate too.

What makes you think that Eisenhower was honest and sane?

The military-industrial complex speech. That alone tells me the man worked for his country, not for money or power, that he had the insight to pinpoint the danger to the country, and the balls to denounce it publicly.
