Accidents happen, but it seems in American everyone thinks someone should be to blame, so yes "what's the point" of this stupid lawsuit? All it will do is hurt more people then the original accident did. I wonder what the dead lady would think of her family trying to exploit her death for a dollar against a child trying to learn riding a bike and screwing up.
Sucks to be you. Perhaps you should try having some of that evil socialised healthcare so you don't have to stoop so low as to sue children for accidents.
What's your point exactly? That the parent can't praise the scientists for not immediately playing to doom card while also finding holes in their actual paper?
I don't understand how it can work at all since FF4 Beta doesn't support the binary functions from FileAPI at all. Very annoying btw, I wish someone would fix that like they have done in Webkit for months.
I have no idea what Qwests service is but if you already have "Fibre to the Node" why would you personally care about a 1 Gbps DSL over copper when your fibre line can get speeds past 100 Gbps ?
because they think it has importance. I've had it explained to me in many ways. The user thinks 1.0 is done, it lets people know which version to download (regardless of if your product has more then one version at any time). It's basically one of those bullshit things which suffers from parkingson's law of triviality.
Your link shows capital traded, not actual trades done. LSE is small when looking at the amount of trading done through it compared to other exchanges. That is, the amount of trades done, not the amount of those specific trades.
Sure performance is an issue but that has nothing to do with what you said.
You keep trying to hand wave away the fact that TCO wasn't an issue here at all but it is a factor.
From looking at your linkedin I know you've invested a lot into only Microsoft technologies which is why you're being their resident apologist but the simple (real) facts are that they've saved money by switching away from Microsoft only technologies.
No you're changing your original point. Here it what I responded to before you changed it.
It had nothing to do with TCO, maintainability or anything like that. It has to do with the fact that the software they're switching to is the fastest in the world. The fact that it runs on Linux is actually a disadvantage, since most of their skills are MS-based.
It is based on TCO. Their existing system cost more money then it cost them to completely replace it.
It is based on maintainability. Their existing system suffered a 7 hour downtime on one of the busiest Mondays around the time of the US financial collapse.
It has very little to do with being fast. The LSE isn't one of the busiest trading exchanges. In fact it's only around 9th in the world.
Sure. You claim brittle to be "ridiculous assumptions don't hold true *often*".
The assumption is made by the programmer. You could rewrite that script you posted to not make those assumptions but instead you are using it as an example of why bash scripting is no good compared to compiled code.
In reality this is a factor that is found in both scripting and compiled code, hence irrelevant to the discussion at hand. I'm surprised I have to spell it out for you.
Actually you're completely wrong. They bought an entire company who specialises in exchange systems on linux, so none of their skills are in Microsoft based systems. Buying that company was cheaper then their previous MS based system which suffered a complete loss of days trading and was much slower.
There's really no disadvantage here. They've saved money, got a more stable system and have someone to complain at when things go bad unlike their previous MS based solution where the company in charge of it absolved themselves from responsibility simply blaming Microsoft.
It might crash but at least it won't have an 8 hour down time like their previous windows based system had. Oh, and you can forget about the imaginary support you'll get with that windows license as the London stock exchange found out the hard way.
I found this further into some other links about it.
At the time the LSE maintained that TradElect was not responsible for the outage, but has since, nevertheless, made aggressive steps to replace the platform by acquiring trading firm MillenniumIT, the supplier of its new system.
I'd post more info but slashdot has broken copy and paste.
C++ libraries are brittle because as a whole, and as far as their individual parts go, they assume a certain input set and generate a certain output set. If these assumptions turn out to be incorrect they will fail, sometimes spectacularly, and often it will take a serious amount of time and effort to determine exactly where the problem is.
Fixed that for you. In other words your argument can be applied to any programming anywhere.
Saying as such would let criminals know the issue exists before the CVE was even posted. You might as well have just said "hey everyone, there's a security exploit here that we haven't figured out how to fix". What is the point except for giving criminals an extra week to come up with a working exploit.

Completely different situation..

Depends. Was he in the US? if so I wouldn't be surprised.

Dude you should join my IE6 supporters group. It's a community that's pressuring Microsoft to continue support for IE6.

It's not their audio or video tag and they also didn't invent it.

You'd most likely be clicking the allow button at the top of your page similar to the javascript location API.
Obviously not in the article.. not even one damn picture of it..

No, i'm talking about the hours of downtime that the previous system experienced (my bad 7 hours not 8). It was a simple fact (get the facts haha).
When one of the numerous Linux exchanges goes down for that long then call me.

That's just shitty programming and has nothing to do with anything.
and how is that any different from a python library being updated and changing your program. Completely pointless argument.
Your post makes no sense, what has lunix being awesome got to do with linux? They're totally different operating systems.
Skip Diablo 3 and go straight to playing Torchlight. It's made by the original developers of Diablo and if you buy from their site doesn't have DRM.

I could see it possibly being useful for animation if they can come up with an accurate model for shaking water off of fur and other materials.
