It wasn't an argument, it was a short debate. (admittedly, most of it focussed on geek's introduction of a irrelevant side-conversation) and Aside from the accidental exchange of what may have seemed personal, for example, when I said:
 Truenorth probably took that personally; I probably would. Really I was pointing that we are not infallible. We can be influenced to think and act a certain way, even if we don't think so (this is true of nearly everybody). Anyway, aside from what I believe there to be a misunderstanding, and a few other minor things, you'll note  that neither one us did anything to try to "provoke" the other- except of course thought-provocation, which can hardly be called trolling.

Even so, despite that, the conversation/debate was really rather redundant to the topic.

Personally, I think that the news reports may have tries to "detechnify" the explanation a tad too much. the real method of "attack" was likely via DNS poisoning, which also happens accidentally (thus the reference to the fact that this type of thing often happens by accident). Perhaps the quote from the DNS Systems founder was taken out of context, but either way, his company name (DNS Systems, I would imagine, have to do with DNS) suggest that perhaps his quotes were not about this nonsense that the news stories says, but rather the real "tech" meat of the topic (and not a detechified version that paints with broad strokes).


I think it's an emoticon.

It wasn't an argument, it was a short debate.

You sure about that?

The more you try to keep a topic on-track, the more it will de-rail. This thread is proof of this.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, released in Japan.

The post about XD fighting was comparing our debate here to a video game. The under 12 crowd apparently equates any kind of  fighting to a video game.

For the love of your diety of choice would somebody please lock this topic. The productive conversation in a thread is always over if somebody mentions pokemon.
