Iran becoming less conservative... LOL.

I consider myself a real patriot and all... but I’ll be damned if we couldn’t learn at least one thing from them.

Depends on their software architecture and quality management processes. If their code is modular enough, potential defects will have limited impact and unit testing will be much quicker.

Measuring software in terms of lines of code is absolutely ridiculous. Estimates are “all over the map” because it’s a preposterous measurement that inherently varies by developer and the intended functionality.

No, but it’s got a fire department across the street that can quickly service Ferraris.

The anime industry has been using 3D CGI for a LONG time now. It is hardly cutting edge. A lot of the “2D” content you see is actually created in 3D, especially backgrounds.

These are not the basics; they are an oversimplification of the subject matter.

Big difference: Keanu is eating.

Uh, yea, it’s totally different... and much better.

It’s the “sequel” to SAO. The protagonist’s VR avatar is a literal pig.

I was joking about the fact that the protagonist is often a walking/talking pig. The action sequences would also be difficult.

What? You don’t think Accel World could work as a live-action show? *snicker*

Ah, nope! I was referencing Swordfish.

User authentication is merely a component of a security system. At the end of the day, security depends on people.

Yes, I will greatly enjoy illuminating the incredibly dusty region beneath my bed that never gets vacuumed.

You can code (using certain languages) outside of a GUI. O_o

Using your analogy, hacking is trespassing. Just because you negligently leave a door or window open does not grant authorization to enter the premises.

The first definition is irrelevant as it’s what MacGuyver does. Hence “hacking together a solution” or “the solution is a hack” or “www.lifehacker.com”.

Hacking simply means “gaining unauthorized access”, regardless of whether it involves taking advantage of a technical exploit or human incompetence.
