Actually, there are no examples of communist economy in the history on larger scale than a single city. It has never been tried. What existed in most of the 'communist' countries was a sort of perverted form of socialism. But while in a true socialism, everybody does their best to full extent of his abilities and is rewarded according to his contribution (in communism reward is based on your needs), in the 'communist' countries except for a short time right after WW2, nobody did their best, not even close to it, you were rewarded based on your ability to not stick your head up and keep quiet and steal as much of 'commons' as you could.
That is the only reason why it did not work. People were not motivated to do the best according to their abilities when their leaders didn't do their best either. On the other hand, if you compare the early years of socialism (48' to 53') you will find out that it by far outpaced the growth of any capitalist/democratic economy.
Its idealists like you that are source of the problem. Get it in your head once and for good: "People are not equal! People will never be equal!"
Once you get this little bit, you might stop dreaming about people being all equally screwed since that will never happen.
And when you stop dreaming, you might start to adjust to a world where people are not equal and start to vote for politicians that are aware of the issue and start asking for laws that will protect the weak from the strong and for society that works for both. And stop get abused by people that try to ram this strange concept down your throat to make you feel good about yourself.
And when you put all this in context with the US Supreme Court decision that Corporations are for all the legal matters "people", you get closer to my point.
How long before large shopping chains will start to hack these programs to alter the shopper's virtual body to fit the clothes better, so they can make better sales?
The point is that domain can look many different ways, letters can be substituted with %D5 or other ways and after you demangle the domain in the email and compare it with the list you get better match.
Now Darl seems to have some credibility with the Linux == terrorism threat. Good going, guys....
I'm not so sure, this was obviously done by a WINDOWS hacker. Most of the Linux hackers I know have no freaking idea about MS Windows internals and they honestly don't even care for that sort of "knowledge".
I think the time he spent testing their crappy product to bring it into enterprise quality while still paying for it was well worth to RedHat.
I have been using Debian on my server, but RedHat on client machiens for a long time. Now I got a new notebook and tried few installs just to see whats good and new. SuSE was way better than others, Redhat came out second. I guess I would stay with RedHat, but after last two days of articles, I think I bring my testing skills to use on SuSE products.
I have to say, that although binary, these drivers are very good. I am using them on my notebook and they just work. I had a little problem with 1.03 version, but since 1.20 they work very good. These people know what they are doing, they have download for every current kernel used in major versions of major distributions. And they want to provide that for free if the manufacturers chip in for their effort. I welcome that my internal wireless card is working NOW and not in 2004. Thank you, Linuxant.
I take it you never tried to create tens of thousands of hardlinks and/or symlinks on large filesystems. You would hardly be saying that Solaris is more scalable then Linux:)
And its not just that. Solaris used to be good because there was this OS very closely coupled with a very good processor. Now the processor is behind and the OS stays behind with it.
Well, did anybody think about the fact that once a new domain is born, it gets on linux farm serving thousands of "comming soon" domains and once the real server is established it gets transfered? I don't think so. Well, in this context 5% of new servers is extremly low number.
Right now the investors think there is about 7% chance that SCO can pull this off and get $3b or some other huge sum in settlements. There is about 1% chance per $2.18 of their stock price. If the stock falls to $11, then they will think the chance went down to 5%. Its very easy.
Just for these who'd like to know, the word Robot comes from the czech word 'Robota' which means the hard compulsive labor that peasants were forced to do on the land of their feaudal lords. Just to give you a little context when the name of Karel Capek was mentioned as author of the word.
BTW One little fact about Karel Capek that could be interesting here is that this author had a vocabulary about 10 times of an average person. And his book are extremly influential in many more areas.
I went to Amazon to 'Look inside' the book and I am definitely buying. I was working on a game that could be characterized in that 'virtual worlds' field for some 5 years and this book covers many of the problems I have been thinking about for last few years.
Can you imagine that Microsoft would raid HP, IBM or Oracle for software licenses on their windows machines, which they use to produce software for Microsoft platforms? What if they would decide to drop the M$ platform? Ouch, tough call. Nobody wants to sail these waters.
Actually it is. It takes about 10 seconds to type message: "Gigli sucks big time!" and then another 5 seconds to send it to everybody in your cell phone buddy list. Think about that! You will call two or three people at most. But you will send the message to 10-15 easy.
Its absolutely unfair to meet your boss on slashdot. Things like this should be outlawed:)) Taco? Rob? Do you listen?
Anyway, threat of physical harm associates too much with my father and makes me always want to do the opposite. But sometimes its really hard to find motivation and when things just need to be done, I think everybody uses some clutches.
Obviously I had similar problem, unless I am under presure and there is some form of danger, I hardly get the work done. I have find out that I can get it done also when I am angry. I think it has something to do with the adrenalin in blood. So I can get on 'adrenalin rush' somehow and then do a 3 days of work in few hours. The downside is you get burnt out feeling for few days afterwards.
The way how you raise adrenalin in your blood may vary, try whats best for you.
Well, it helped me in the past. Just stick to this one rule. Don't eat after 6pm. If you miss the dinner, too bad, you don't have one. Get larger breakfast. Thats it. Stick to it and you are fine. And don't forget that you should drink at least a galon of fluids a day. No matter if you are tryig to lose weight or not.
Well, I have worked on migration out of Clearcase, since that beast just does not scale. It uses a database - sort of - but the whole database is just one huge table and ANY update just locks the whole thing. Not even mention the fact you have a limit on how much data you can stick into one of the databases, which is obviously not big enough for some. ClearCase has many nice features, but scaling up is NOT one of them.
WHY NOT? For me, THIS would be the reason to vote for them again. Doing a decision that in my opinion is advantageous for both the city and me as its citizen would go a long way with my willingness to vote for whoever made that decision.
I would like to ask what would be the thing in IP laws that makes a lot of problems to you or which you consider the most flawed and basically, which parts of the current law you disagree with or would like to change?
...it made me open margin account to be able to SELL SCOX SHORT:) If you don't think they have a case as well, you might join me and do the same. Come on, its almost $12 a piece or twice the price before the case. And we all know its gonna be worth zero in few weeks.

What about the objection to split the two story lines in TTT/ROTK into small parts and suggestion that they need to be presented as whole?
This is one thing I really disliked, how Jackson made the two story lines weave together, which made them kind of hard to follow.

Nevermind Laura Bush.
What happens when the RIAA tries to sue a relative of some crime family? Someone wake up next to a decapitated horses head.
Well, so what's wrong with her then? Do you want to hint she's not a relative of some crime family?

Take about 20 times that many users, over 5 years of revision history and products of real size and you get in trouble big time. Mail me for details :)
