I wouldn't characterize them as idiots... just perhaps a bit un innovative. Yes I know thats a horrible thing for lil old me to say about a bunch of seemingly amazing MIT grads. But ya know, they're still using some backwards ass stuff. Wheres the new gear? Wheres the new applications?! Show me the killer apps that these wearables would use. Show me something thats changed in the last few years other than adding a new cpu option. And what about this nanix stuff? Where is it? I couldn't find any place to download it. Everyone seems to know about the blurb... so where is it? So often it seems like people start drifting off into their own little world, and fail to see where things are going and fail to remember that innovation is the key.

software thats been hacked by a friendly neighborhood russian hacker. its new kazaa light, with new and improved spyware, and a few extra trojans as an added bonus!
I did the same... got the CF 802.11 and the zaurus for $300!! Talk about a deal. My only complaint thus far is that I can't retrieve the stylus with the CF card in. My last PDA was/is a visor prism. The springboard 802.11 alone would have cost me $300. Anyone wanna buy my visor? =)
One can say this about many research areas. As a research topic matures, it goes from a stage where everyone is sharing and open, with only ego and prestige in the way of development, to where we currently are today with AI. Applications of heavy AI are not only realistic goals, but realized and actively utilized foundations for products, both military and commerical. As for your H1B status. I sense some bitterness. What did you expect? Either return home to where you could be of use in your own nations research, or swing it out for citizenship, at which time you can join US research.
thats an interesting view, given that x.com was just a bank before they bought paypal. so, for a while, they were a bank and a money exchanger at the same time. Then they realized that it was far more profitable to just take ppls money than to be a regulated bank.
while youre idea was quite humorous, I believe you have mixed your genitalia references. What they need is to have the uplink cable coming out from btwn its legs.
interesting. but not always. my japanese flows so naturally when I'm drunk (and I wouldn't even consider it a 2nd language for me... even after 4 years I still think of it as a hobby). no its not just my imagination either! the only time I seem to get compliments on my japanese speaking skills are when I have been drinking. I dunno if thats necessarily a good thing...
This sounds alot like vipul's razor a fellow checksum'ing spam catcher. In addition to being free and open source, I think vipul's has been around longer than these other guys. They also use honeypots to catch lots of spam, but I believe not so much in the relay dept.
actually I think it would be a rare person indeed that could capture my attention, my imagination, and even my affection, as greatly as the looney tunes did.
and I believe it represents american culture. sorry its not quite benny hill, we have our own way of doin things =)
As far as the freezedried items, the freezedried peaches are supposed to go with water, but they taste better crispy. They literally melt in you mouth!
*saliva beings to flow*
man its been too long. those peaches were so good =)
Even a freely given effort should be of high quality.
oh should it? then by your assessment, any freely given effort of sub-your-standard quality simply should not be given? I guess your world view differs greatly from mine. I was raised with the understanding that I should do the best I can do with what I've been given. I think quite a few other people were raised that way too. Do you see soup kitchens closed because they don't offer 4 course meals? I think not. Could you imagine a homeless person rejecting a blanket on a cold night because the blanket is not of high quality? I doubt it very much. These people are giving you something for nothing. How can you actually DEMAND more?
The criticism either stands on its own merits or not, and that merit is NOT determined by what the critic has personally contributed or failed to.
I find it rather ironic that you would accept a critic of just any quality. Actually, I think the act of offering criticism demands some level of knowledge and experience in the area being critiqued. Otherwise they are just b*tching. But ok, lets think about critics in general. Done thinking? Good. Now how can you sit there and type that the merits of the criticism have nothing to do with the attributes of the critic? I'd take the opinion of an ASE certified mechanic over that of some highschooler taking autoshop any day.
At least when people of little experience or knowledge try to help others, they are helping. They are trying to make a difference doing something. Even if that something is simply gaining more knowledge and experience so that person can be more helpful next time, it is something. If I'm wrong please point out where... but in this case, I'm pretty sure I'm right.
If a gift horse crapped on you, I'd think the horse a good judge of character.
If you don't like the horse... don't take the horse. Find another horse you like instead. Its not like they're forcing you to use SF. I'm sure people try to offer you free things all the time that you turn down for one reason or another. Why is this any different?
If you're gonna offer something for free... then you can do it however you damn well please. What is this "right" crap you guys keep talking about? You mean acceptable by your standards? Geez don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
And in case you didn't know... alot of the volunteer housing projects aren't exactly examples of fine craftsmanship... but it is the BEST people can offer. they are trying to help and make a difference. So shut up and take it... or shut up and dont' take it... or speak up and DO something about it. What have you done?
yeah I know... I've been fighting a DDOS for a friend since saturday. they've been port scanning and throwing random garbage (or seemingly random I should say) at the box, etc... f00king kiddies. but I must say, its been fun =)
there you go ignorant boy... I await your s|rip7/i|)Di3 hack attack.
oh... you meant the unshadowed passwd file? I could even give you that... and my box would STILL be safe... but of course... only because WHICH box has the associated passwd file is obscure to you =)

would binary only even matter? its the IDEA they need... they have tons of coders easily available to implement whatever ideas they can glean from this. its not always about source control.

hmm that isn't really possible at this point.. I mean, after I got the IV put in, theres just no reason to unplug.
I have. FunC0m suX0rz.

most people can drink or smoke pot or watch pr0n or play Everquest or D&D without becoming addicted
and then there's ppl like me, drug addict, pr0n addict, EQ addict, etc..

actually, sounds like something that would be quite useful to someone writing a compiler. Take note ppl!
Hate to break it to you, but the power grab happened a long time ago. Watch them maintain the status quo.

bah, even if they hadn't given the code out, I'm sure it would have appeared on morpheus in under a week.
