People always mention things like this when they badmouth PCs. My MBP freezes once in a while, the keyboard sometimes becomes unresponsive and I frequently have to plug-in my ethernet adapter multiple times in order to get it to connect. I&

I do incident response for a living. Disgruntled employees/former employees do sabotage their companies' networks, but it is incredibly rare. Not because most organizations are well-defended against such attacks; its because most

As a security analyst I make use of Linux, MacOS, and a few different versions of Windows on a daily basis. They all have issues that I find incredibly frustrating and they all have aspects that I really enjoy. You apparently have a strong

Attribution is difficult, but your comment shows a lack of understanding. Everyone already knows that you can't attribute activity based solely on the geographical association of IP addresses.

I didn't suggest an amendment to allow gay marriage, I suggested an amendment that would explicitly prohibit the state and federal governments from attempting to regulate any marriage between two consenting adults. In an academic manne

>Why should a fundamental right require a constitutional amendment? IMHO, this is a cop-out for Scalia: he knows how hard it is to put together a constitutional amendment, so instead of just saying "no" and appearing like a big

Historically, I agree. However, there are witch-hunters to be found at the extremes of both sides. For example, there's nothing wrong with the concept of social justice, but there are people/groups acting in the name of social jus

You only mentioned the parts of his statement about TAOCP that, when taken out of context, seem to prove your point. He did note that it looks impressive on a shelf, but he also followed it up with "and it is impressive." Furtherm

He praises almost all of the books on the second list, he just thinks a large percentage of the people that recommend them haven't read much of them. He also doesn't seem to make the claim that the first list represents "cano

I feel like someone that's not unusually unintelligent should have been able to make the connections between SYN and synchronize or ACK and acknowledge. I don't know why people are defending the recruiter. The process is dumb, but

Perhaps BMI isn't very accurate for slightly short people. It says I should weigh 115-149 lbs. I currently weigh 190 and when I manage to get down to 170, I look very athletic. The last time I weighed 149, I looked like I was starving.

There's a lot wrong with some of the things Comey said, but this simply isn't true. Its a pretty common occurrence for a large company to find out that they've been hacked only when the FBI notifies them. There are small team

Its far easier to find a job if you have a job. Also, you will be less likely to make sub-optimal decisions if you don't have to worry about paying rent. I don't know how many hours you work, but I have a wife, a kid, a full-time
