You can read my thoughts here about this:

If we're going to fix this problem, we need to stop acting like we're not at fault.

I think he's trying to say that its not necessary to say alien worlds, just say worlds. He does kinda have a point, saying alien worlds makes it sound like we're not one of the 100 billion, which we are.

If they taught them recent computer history, like the last 10-20 years or so, then they would feel closer to the action and see where their place is to jump on the train. Teaching 1950s computing is likely to just lose them because the technology is so different.

I remember back in the 90s when I was first learning HTML and there were several articles talking about how the web was not sematic enough and I didn't really get the point. Now I totally get it. While trying to make good examples for climagic on how to interface with the web, its just so much trouble. Even with all the recent focus on good web standards, web developers do stuff that just hinder people who want to scrape data. We really need some good commands for retrieving data from web documents, especially now those that load their data through AJAX style calls.

"good, inexpensive"

Those are two parts of the triangle. If you also want it to have it fast, then you're simply being unreasonable. You're probably also one of the people complaining about GoDaddy supporting SOPA. Don't you see that these are all related? Find a hosting provider that knows what they are doing, reliable and pay a little more for it. Don't complain when your server costs more than your dinner.

Having worked in IT for 15 years, I can tell you that most people don't listen to Angry Nerds either.

Ok, that's easy to just casually say. Now prove it. If its really that easy, do your duty and show everyone.

Sorry, that last one got messed up:

grep Password united_nations_hacked_by_trick_-_teamp0ison.txt | grep -v 000 | awk '{ if (length($4) < 6) { print $4; }}' | wc -l

1000+, I don't think so:

grep Password united_nations_hacked_by_trick_-_teamp0ison.txt | grep -v 000 | wc -l
584

I'm excluding the 000 passwords as being their actual passwords.

grep Password united_nations_hacked_by_trick_-_teamp0ison.txt | grep -v 000 | awk '{ if (length($4) < 6) { print $4; }
131

That's 131 of the passwords are less than 6 characters. I'm guessing these passwords are very old, before better security measures were put in place.

Hi kids, Mr. Question Mark here. This sentence is a command because you are telling someone to bullshit your dick, not asking them why they aren't bullshitting your dick. So you don't need to use me. Instead, try Mr. Exclamation Point. But between you and me, he's a real asshole.
