Uhh.. You got the UDP part right. It is to be avoided.
However, ICMP is important. I HATE it when ISPs are blocking my traceroute when I'm trying to figure out where/if a line went down. What wrong is ICMP? Throttle it, of course, but otherwise it's a good thing!
Shooooosh.. Bandwidth.. Lemme see.. If you're using a 45 meter range radio LAN system. Then you're sharing bandwidth with everyone within 45 meters. Get that ruler out and start measurin'.
If you're using the 5 meter range optical system, you'll be sharing with everyone within 5 meters. Sure your roof will be full of repeaters/switches, but you'll be enjoying a much better bandwidth than with the 801.11b. The more crowded the office, the better performance gain.
Oh - if your building isn't ether-wired, you just have to tack on some (expensive) boxes, without having to start tearing the place apart.
though this relies upon the developer, it will warn you and not generate the correct makefile if you don't have the right libraries.
it doesn't give the same level of warning and protection that dpkg gives you, but it simply gives the admin more power - assuming he's actually up for the task.
i slacked for a long time. i'm currently a bit into debian, though i'm thinking about returning to slackland. it's THE best server distrobution. it's a fine desktop distrobution. look at the stats for security problems on Security Focus. which one would YOU like to use for a server?
Have you seen read any record contracts lately? The terms these artists are getting, are piss poor. As simple as that.
TLC had AFAIK the best selling RNB record EVER. They still went bankrupt - and this was prior to Napstermania. The record company got nearly all their dough. Take a listen to Courtney Love, and her rundown of the economics of a record deal.
Sure, it's not nice to download MP3s that are copyrighted. However, it's an excellent way for me to make sure the record I wanna try out is not a total piece of crap. I honestly don't want waste 18 bucks on ONE good song.
Since I found mp3s, the quality of my record collection has kept up, even though I spend less time reading reviews and articles and such. If I see a review that tickles my imagination, I'll just jump online and check it out.
There is no way to control this. However, you might wanna follow the numbers. Has CD sales gone up or down since napster started to get popular? Up? Maybe I'm not the only one using it in an ethical manner?
Since you sound fairly conservative, I'll bring out the big gun - gun laws. Guns are designed to kill. People use them to kill. Still, they are legal, since they CAN be used in an ethical manner - which means self defense and against out-of-line police. I see that as a fairly utilitarian justification. My justification for mp3s and napster and gnutella is equally utilitarian. I want to keep it because it can be used in an ethical manner, and because evidence suggest that it is mainly being used in an ethical manner. Those punks that never buy anything they have on mp3s are like the criminals that are allowed access to guns since we the lawabiding citizens also want the right to protect ourselves. We the lawabiding mp3-users want the right to make sure we're not bying crap. This generalizes directly to movies.
Do you now feel vaguely better about napster and gnutella?
It's as simple as that - unless you have a really low performance computer.
Anything Mysql does, postgres can do. Or close to.
Postgres supports stuff that mysql doesn't support, or has JUST started to support.
The only real advantage to Mysql, is that you're allowed more freedom in changing existing tables. I must admit i get kinda annoyed when i have to redo yet another Postgresql table because it turned out I didn't need that column anyway.
There are procmail scripts out there that will kill evil messages. I've even heard of virus scanning in realtime all in/outgoing email.
However, this takes processing cycles, and means a possible DoS target.. (Send a few long emails with a virus at the end. Lather, rinse, repeat. You'll find your email server kneeling)
Still. You would need to have a bigger evaporation rate than sucking-in-matter-into-the-hole rate. But this might happen AFTER the entire galaxy is consumed? Or am I not thinking straight?
The initial rush for the market is done. The companies have fully functional sites. The venture capital is down to critical. Are you gonna hire a few semi-talented programmers for $120k/year? Of course not unless you've got huge unsolved problems! Especially not if you can buy the services from a consulting company with experience. That's simple risk management.
The rush is over. We programmers are gonna have to learn to settle with an ok salary after a B.S. degree, at least for a few years until we've really proven ourselves. As a few of us are learning, you can't buy happiness anyhow.
Oh. And if you want a good job, don't just buzzword them to death. Sell yourself as a likeable, social person. That landed me a pretty sweet gig:)
But limited daycare is actually a good thing. It has repeatedly been shown that kids that go to (a good) daycare become more social. Mommy and Daddy and close family should be most of what they see, but not all. Yes - you need to spend time with them and make sacrifices. Throwing out the TV set when you get kids is probably a good idea, at least theoretically. Behaving responsibly and never being drunk in front of your kids are great ideas.
However, your tendency to isolationism is a bad idea. When your kids grow up, you might find out. Maybe you'll find out if your wife leaves you because you're making her a 50ies-style housewife.
Anyhow - think of the V-chip as a right for you as a parent. It doesn't replace your job as a parent. It just enhances it somewhat. Wouldn't you say it is your right as a parent to pick what your kid gets to see?
Excellent indeed. However, the touchdown velocity was about 5mph/8kmph. I wonder if the G force involved in hitting the ground was less than that experienced while on the rocket going through the atmosphere..
I bet the scientists kept quiet about the possibility to gain bonus points in the public. Or maybe they realized that survival depended on hitting the ground in a certain way. Anyhow - whether accidental or planned - great job, guys!
Climatologists (sp?) work on the scales of decades, centuries and millennia. Anyhow - anyone with experience in science knows it involves a bit of stumbling. However, you are typing this on a computer that is a result of science.
Furthermore, you SHOULD pay attention to the rates. Even the lower estimates still represent significant warming that AFAIK has never been observed at this rate before.
So - think before you start that SUV. Maybe you could take the bus today?
If there's a non-compete clause, tell them to f*ck off. Anything more than 3 months is bullcrap in internet time anyway. Offer your word of honor. If they won't take it, why would they hire you?
Are you even reading what I'm writing? With slackware packages, it's impossible to tell what packages they depend upon. That is AFAIK determined in the installer, not the packages themselves.
I love slackware and I think it's great. It's the most stable and secure distro I know of. I just think that autoslack is a mistake:)
I've made this point before, and I'll make it again. The slackware package format does not support dependencies. That is CRITICAL. The autoslack thing then seems a mistake. What if one of the packages you have installed all of a sudden gains a new dependency. What used to work, will overnight stop to work - or you will be unable to take advantage of a significant new feature. The thing with debian, is that you can leave apt-get do its thing, and as long as you're a potato, you can be pretty frickin sure it all works the next morning.
</whore>
The kernel should be FS independent, for a very simple reason - different systems have different needs. Some might need maximum integrity. Others could sacrifice SOME integrity if they could get a significantly better throughput. As professionals, we should have the option to choose. Otherwise, we might as well run NT!
Anyhow - I thought the entire opensource philosophy was that there's more than one way to do it?
Bluetooth support.
More security patches (maybe a new menu to specify your own security policy, and have that configure your firewall etc?)
Built-in pacman game.
Recode of some old unit.
Tool for selecting modules from online repository.
Moving support for really old stuff into module-only land. See prev proposal.
And a lot of things I haven't thought of yet.. Anyone got more ideas?
Divide and conquer is a tried and true approach. You probably don't want one single, large NN in this application. I'm thinking about one for temperature regulation, one for hot-water regulation, one for out-side lighting, one for in-door lighting and one for tracking human presence, etc.. Then you can build interdependencies and feedback cycles, feeding selectively - say - human presence tracking into the various applicable NNs. My gut feeling tells me this might work. Maybe. The very best thing, is to simulate and see what happens:)
What it comes down to, is that VHS and Betamax were both good enough for the consumers. VHS had more software. Thus, VHS won.
I think this is what happened to the RISC processors too. CISC had the lead, and the advantages of RISC were not great enough to warrant a change, at least not at that time. I cannot help but wonder what the performance of a RISC box would be if they had invested the same amount of $$$ in that technology as they have in the CISC technology. I guess we'll never see.
Just thought I'd give ya a heads up because the moderators are currently not responding to this excellent point. I think it's great that I can run a heavy app off a powerful server. If an app developed for gtk+/fb will work with gtk+/X, then I'll be happy. Otherwise, I'll be very very hesitant.

ever tried ./configure ?

With current processor speeds, hundreds of thousands of lines of code optimizing hard drive access will pay off. It's just a damned bore to write.

This is a very good example of providing a good user interface.
For those not in the know, it's totally invisible.
For those in the know, it's available right there and then!
I just wish all software was this user friendly..
It's as simple as that - unless you have a really low performance computer.

Seriously. How can a black hole disappear?
If they once ruled the universe, how did they cease and desist?
Black holes suck up matter/energy.
this is all fine and dandy. however, i couldn't find any info about debian availability. what's the story, red hat glory?

Holy buckets! No wonder they're getting sued. 170 fresh ones for some good-looking piece of crap? Kind of like a novice crack-whore, i guess.

If I did what I think they did, you can use ANY of the syntactically correct themes at gtk.themes.org. Damn. So much for boring visuals.
