It is 12000 days into September, 1993: Usenet is long since an artifact in the memory of greybeards; the internet belongs to the monkey cage. Yet on Slashdot, we still get physics puns. Here, the golden age lives on.
the father accustoms himself to become like his child and fears his sons, while the son likens himself to his father, and feels neither shame nor fear in front of his parents, so he may be free ; the metic [563a] becomes the equal of a citizen and the citizen of a metic, and similarly with the foreigner.
It indeed so happens, he said.
To these, said I, such trifles do add up: the teacher, in such a case, fears his pupils and fawns upon them, while pupils have in low esteem their teachers as well as their overseers; and, overall, the young copy the elders and contend hotly with them in words and in deeds, while the elders, lowering themselves to the level of the young, sate themselves with pleasantries [563b] and wit, mimicking the young in order not to look unpleasant and despotic.

Wasn't that "The Acolyte"?
My server got compromised last week by this, Slashdot is quite far behind.
There's two new exploits in the Copy Fail class that do privilege escalation everyone should be worried about on shared servers. Copy Fail 2: Electric Boogaloo (https://github.com/0xdeadbeefnetwork/Copy_Fail2-Electric_Boogaloo) and Dirty Frag (https://github.com/V4bel/dirtyfrag)
I am rather disappointed that Ubuntu sat on these LPEs for a month without releasing a fix.

It's an acronym for "jack of all trades."
What, you mean you're not convinced to grab the no-name alpha-release "privacy browser" that cripples yourself if you don't let them MITM you?
It wasn't that hard - Netscape came on floppies, too.
As it turns out, I and a lot of other people are willing to pay a fee to avoid seeing ads, so the shows do actually get funded anyway.
I hate ads with a passion, and miss the old days of the internet where people would get mad at you for advertising.
>The ruling elite has decided they do not want you to be educated
No, the ridiculous price of tuition is actually the result of the government encouraging people to go to college. They will pay whatever 'need' is, and 'need' is whatever the price of college is... so colleges keep raising the price, year after year, much higher than inflation.
It's not going to the professors, either. At my local state college, only 13% of the budget goes to professors (including benefits).
At community colleges here in California, 50% goes to direct instruction. Why? Because state law mandates the 50 percent rule. So community colleges are reasonably priced and often do a better job actually teaching with smaller classes than state colleges, but I guess we have a good 9-3 football team at state, so...
Hokkaido is not an "Island of Flowers". While the Furano Biei lavender fields are pretty famous, it is a small part of the island. Most of it is the same sort of forest and mountain terrain you'd see in Yosemite.
Or Kings of the Wyld, which is about an adventuring group that comes out of retirement for one last mission. One of them retired to be a city guard, another a king... pretty good story. Good mix of pathos and humor.
Glad to see that
Good, I'm glad she's leaving. She's pushed the EFF in a bad direction, and forced John Gilmore (one of the founders of the EFF out).
I think the replacement choice is obvious - bring Gilmore back as Executive Director.
