I could agree with that, the point I'm making is some people set the standard for "hacking" very loosely...(if you read 2600 Magazine there's all manner of equally simple things presented as "hacking") and some of those same people then tur

Yes, thanks for correcting the typo. I actually spelled it right a couple places but it's hard to see right now without my glasses. > Also, he spends less words on the 'hacking' terminology issue in his piece than you do here and there

I totally understand and can appreciate that....my problem is: who gets to decide what constitutes "the hacker community" and what's accurate about it? That's where I take umbrage... I don't think Emmanual is concerned with correctly port

More accurate headline: "Emmanual Goldstein (once again) gets his knickers in a twist over someone using the word 'hacker' in a way he doesn't like...." It's actually interesting that there's very little pretense about what the major issue

I don't think this can provide any insight into our current education system, it wouldn't make much sense to compare them... However it is a rather fascinating look at life in the late 1800's, and what the common concerns were. The section

Well there's a couple problems here: 1) I'm not saying "don't get mad"...I explicitly said otherwise. I'm saying "we should punish appropriately" 2) The basis for this is not so much that they were following orders....the basis is they made

If you go back and read my post, you'll see I say nothing about legal definitions. Granted, I see how you could mis-interpret the "real" comment, but I assure you that it had nothing to do with the law. I am not a lawyer, and am not qualifi

Well to begin with, I don't think that's a valid comparison. ...but if you really want to go there. No, absolutely not. "Superior Orders" has historically been recognized as a legal defence. What happened 60 years ago was they decided it co

IIRC it's because it's model designation was CX2600. They didn't use the 2600 designation originally (they called it the Atari VGS or something like that).I think they started using it because like Pong, they planned to release various vers

Actually it doesn't have to involve imitation to be mocking. True, that is one sense (like in "mocking bird")...but it can also be just general derision or taunting, like in " The jelly donut sat there, mocking me." /language nerd

They posted a couple days ago saying #67 would be released today. I'm not sure what the deal is; seems like they're having trouble with their website as what would normally be the front page news is a non-functional TOC for #67. Based on th

I think it's an interesting idea, but imho it's in rather poor taste to use the "Hacker News" branding without knowing if PG approves. Whether or not the site is for profit is entirely irrelevant; it comes off as you trying to cash in on th

I use pomodoro, but honestly only because it's important to get up regularly and walk around or exercise a bit. I work for a bit, and when the timer goes off I do some jumping jacks or push ups. For the longer break (~ every 2 hours) I take

I think it he handled it pretty well, but I really hope he doesn't press charges. I'm as against the ridiculous new regulations as anyone, but I'm surprised by the general lack of sympathy for the actual TSA agents on the ground, regardles

If I'm not mistaken what happened was this person was the one reporting the income, they were just reporting it incorrectly.

That sounds like complete BS to me, unless you're talking about some time ago when marijuana and tax law were actually intertwined. The best you could hope for is some sympathy from the judge and/or not also getting slapped with tax evasion

Well there's a couple problems here: 1) Let's say their excuse is bogus. So what where they doing? Gaming the system like ltgenpanda claims? There's a contradiction there though. On the one hand you're saying that you don't buy it's testing

That's interesting, but it's nowhere near conclusive. Digg just had a major update and are in a state of transition still, we have no idea what sort of banning, shadow-banning, temp-banning etc procedures are in place. (unless you are a Dig

by M1573RMU74710N 16y ago
Nice. This brings up another question: If Digg did indeed do this, why space out registration, as if to hide it (from themselves?).....or do it manually? Could they not automate the process, and automate it in a way so as to do it all in on

The voting ring is not only voting for Digg advertisers. There are a few blog-spam sites in there, and a few are CLEARLY spam (like buzzll.com). It could be a voting ring that is also digging "top stories" to make their digg patterns appe

Yes, this is precisely the theory I had as soon as I read the first several sentences. If you look at the list of sites, you'll see there are spam sites in there (ex: buzzll.com) that have diggs from the suspected accounts. If Digg is beh

by M1573RMU74710N 16y ago
This is plausible, but here's the problem I have with that. If you look at the data, these accounts are not digging only preferred publishers. They are Digging mostly preferred publishers, but also occasionally random blog-spam. (ex buzzl

The fact that C02 levels have been higher is not necessarily in contradiction to the article, nor an important omission. This issue as other's have pointed out is the CAUSE of the current levels and the implications thereof. In the past the

Well first of all, this statement is complete BS. "Alarmism" is a loaded term...of course it has a bad track record. If it turned out well, it wouldn't be called "alarmism" but foresight. So, no duh. It's like saying "Murder has a really ba

Well here's the problem. You're comparing apples to oranges. The "overblown" ones you're talking about are overblown by the MEDIA. There are basically no scientists in the relevant fields saying we need to freak out because we might get hit

Well let's get real for a second here. Suppose you rely on Public Transit to get around. You get a job, you check the bus schedule...there's a bus that drops you off right outside of work at 8:50. That's pretty reasonable imho. However, fai
