I've never run into permission issues trying to eat bacon...

Which raises the question: where in the registry would you store a value indicating love/dislike of bacon? I mean, there is no HKEY_BACON hive (though there should be).

It's implied, "love bacon" is the only valid option.

It’s worthwhile to learn some programming languages just to expand your thinking. Learn a language outside your comfort zone, even if you don’t foresee any practical use for it. Expanding your mind is practical enough. Conversational Programming 101

Granted I know about 15 different programming languages, I do work with about 4 or 5 of them on a regular basis.

When I bounce back and forth between c++ and vb6 as I do now in a project nearing completion that is two programs in one project, I often will use '' for c++ comments and // for VB6 comments when I come back from a while in the other language. I also will neglect the Then statement in a VB6 conditional, having not needed to use that syntax in C. Only to be mocked by the compiler at build time.
Infuriating!
And I do it over and over.

I can't say I have too much difficulty, except when I'm writing in multiple languages simultaneously. The most common offense for me is adding semicolons to the ends of lines in Python after coming out of C#/Java code, but that's still valid Python, it just looks weird.

The moral is obvious. You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself. (Especially code from companies that employ people like me.) No amount of source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you from using untrusted code. In demonstrating the possibility of this kind of attack, I picked on the C compiler. I could have picked on any program-handling program such as an assembler, a loader, or even hardware microcode. As the level of program gets lower, these bugs will be harder and harder to detect. A well installed microcode bug will be almost impossible to detect.

Logging in to web sites is ironically one of the most difficult tasks put before our users. Usernames and passwords are hard to remember, and harder than ever to type on the tiny on-screen keyboards of mobile devices. Even large, successful websites report that they receive an outsized number of support requests pertaining to login problems. We need something better. My voice is my passport. Verify Me.

Microsoft is simply following a strategy that makes large users of Android and Linux stop thinking of them as free. And by focusing on large users it also leaves small users, enthusiasts, researchers, etc. that are more likely to be hurt by a direct attack on Linux itself completely alone. I think it’s the right thing to do, though I don’t think it will change the market dynamics much at this point. You're probably violating a patent just by reading this.

the Internet (including of course the World Wide Web and – more importantly for this discussion – Domain Name Systems) is one of the most important inventions of all time, yet we are having trouble coming up with names for new websites just 27 years later. The web is unsustainable in its current form. ...because all the good domains are taken? Um, no.

Actually, there are plenty of domain names out there. And when people die, I imagine they will probably not own their domains any longer. Supposing planets have a limited number of people they can sustain, that means we need a very finite number of domains (because there are limited people to use them and they can be recycled).
If we ever move to another planet, we can create a planet TLD (.com.earth, .com.mars, .com.space...).

The process by which Windows has been localized has changed over the years. Back in the days of 16-bit Windows, Windows was developed with a single target language: English. Just English. After Windows was complete and masters were sent off to the factory for duplication, the development team handed the source code over to the localization teams. "Hey, by the way, we shipped a new version of Windows. Go localize it, will ya?" Parlez-vous Windows?

I'm switching to a new default web browser today (i.e. the browser I use the most on my computer) and that put me in a reminiscing mood. So here are some screenshots of all of the browsers I've used as my default for the past 18 years. Is your site Lynx-compliant?

They manage to push out a rather well put history of hacking, while keeping it short and easily consumable. Keep in mind this book focuses on “computer hacking” so they touch on the influence hackers like Steve Wozniak had on the computer industry. What the difference between “hacking” and “cracking” are, and even jump into how to safely practice “hacking” in your own home. All your bookshelf are belong to us.

Programmers sought for tropical hackathon[^]

If they have power then they hopefully have good air conditioners! On a tropical island I would need an office, preferably with no distracting windows, kept at a steady 72 degrees otherwise no code would get written!

- Of all the things I have lost, it is my mind that I miss the most.
- I vaguely remember having a good memory...

In the tropics, the plants grow faster.
You may need to hack through them several times to clear the land.
Are you handy with a machete?

It appears you have posted in the wrong forum. Or maybe you meant to reply to this.

Indeed I did, sorry.
The ceremony and a few beers made me forget that the lounge is not where it used to be.

don't worry it is worthy of the "news" section.
Watched code never compiles.
