Why must he say Hackers is a classic film. It was a pivotal part of my life. I'm not even that old

Apparently... seems like some kind of malware seed that somehow made it past the moderators. Read the entire site and the description is entirely useless.

This is great, I would also love to see laws have applicable test cases created. For a practical example, in NJ they recently changed gun laws, and they forgot to include an exemption for police officers, so they ended up being restricted by the new laws the same way civilians are. (I really bit my tongue on this, not going to get political, here).

The law should have had a test case created, which would have the equivalent of ensuring that police officers are not in violation of the law, when they are serving active duty, or going home. NJ’s assembly had to rush in some middle of the night legislation to fix this “bug” in the law, that nobody caught.

I would love to see this applied to all laws. As the article states, software and law have a lot in common. Testing should be one of them.

Thanks for this. I seemed to recall reading the exact same thing a few months ago, but the persons commute was from Stockton... and here it is. Modularized journalism!
