I have never made a router out of ducks but I did once create a switch out of ducks. Worked great for situations where you wanted high bandwidth and could live with really bad latency.
We can't deny that the one thing that makes Apple different from the rest of the crowd is their attention to detail.
From the way MacIntosh can create smooth curvy fonts to the "feel" of the original iPhone when it first came out (as versus the offering from the rest of the cellphone industry), Mr. Jobs had taken great pain in making sure that the products that have the "Bitten Apple" mark on it come with as few bugs as possible
As I said, I am no Apple fanbois, and I do not own any Apple product
Paid attention to every detail but how people want to hold a phone while making a call.
Both of those types are incapable of making decisions. Had they given a shit about it in the first place they would not be iPhone users. They do not care about lock in, they do not care about freedom, they only want either to puch the button and have it do the thing they told it to or they want to be cool.
Of course there are people who choose not to be iPhone users. I did not include them because I stated that there are 2 types of iPhone users. As far as those who jailbreak. Either they were to stupid to know that Apple had them on a leash but smart enough to figure out how to get off the leash or.... they made a bad choice in the beginning and made the best of it. Anyone who bought an iPhone just so they could jailbreak it to make it usable for them would need to be mentally retarded. I did not mention them because speaking ill of the retarded is frowned upon.:)
I thought that I was pointing out that there are 2 types of iPhone users. Those too stupid to know that they have no choice and those that made the choice to not have one.
Other than allowing lazy people to kinda get stuff done what are the advantages of Java over C/C++? Are any of those advantages big enough out weigh the elephant in the room which is Oracle not giving one shit about Java and the massive number of security holes?
Yes. And the jury as well. Of course they were picked because they were stupid people who have no idea what is going on around them but that does not make them smart.
I cant go into many particulars, but sometimes youre given a bad network and not a huge budget to work with. Ideally we would have a SAN and at least 3 boxes with Enterprise licensing. We dont have that, but its not the end of the world and I still have a job to do.
No shit. I am looking at a Network with 2 old SCO unix 5 boxes with one just acting as a slaved backup in case of Master failure. A 7 year old windows server 2003 box that is a domain controller. Two 7 year old XP pro boxes with specialized hardware a 2 year old windows server taking care of a PCI compliant CC database, and a brand new server that is fairly powerful just to run as a server for our mobile app. If I were to add a bunch of RAM and a second CPU to the new box add a SAN and a second box just like it with virtualization I could save power, have better back up and replace the 2 SCO Unix boxes the 2 windows servers and the mobile app server. I would have power to spare everything would be backed up and we would still be able to expand if I wanted. Heck I might even have some extra power in the server room. Getting really low there. But like you. There are issues with management and systems that mean that it will be like this for a while. I just have to make sure it works anyway.
I am so sorry. I read the whole thing and I did not violently disagree with any of it. But when I got to the end I could not help but laugh out loud at work. Just had never had the term "auto-rape" inserted into my head before.
Slashdot is U.S.-centric. We readily admit this, and really don't see it as a problem. Slashdot is run by Americans, after all, and the vast majority of our readership is in the U.S. We're certainly not opposed to doing more international stories, but we don't have any formal plans for making that happen. All we can really tell you is that if you're outside the U.S. and you have news, submit it, and if it looks interesting, we'll post it.
Hmm. Nice. "The fucking US constitution". Really well done. "Get your shit right."
You mad bro? The Mexican government has sued US states over immigration laws. The Mexican government has been known for quite some time to actively lobby on behalf of its illegal immigrants in the US. Good or bad is not what I am debating here. Have your own opinion if you like. Those are facts. Also Mexican immigration policy is fact as well. God forbid some "Dirty fucking Central American scum bag" get government assistance in Mexico. The US constitution does not in anyplace I have seen state that illegal immigration should be forgiven as a crime. Nor does it state that as long as they are poor stealing identities is cool. The US Constitution says nothing about giving government benefits to illegal aliens.
The juxtaposition between what Mexico has been very vocal about expecting from the US on its immigration policies and their own immigration policies are what I was pointing out. Your anger is out of place. I did not twist facts or lie. I did not compare apples and oranges. I only pointed out a truth.
Your automated anger filled response says a lot about you. Very little about the subject.
And they would. Mexico has, ironically a very strict immigration policy. While they demand every right in the book for their people coming here. They give no rights or services at all to illegal immigrants there.
As long as there's massive demand to get into the big name, high price universities, it won't get cheaper.
Try not to forget that there are huge subsidies paid to hide the true cost of the education from the consumer. This tends to modify consumer behavior and drive costs up as well.

II. Attention to detail

Jobs ghost raped him last night, While Balmer and Paige cheered from the sidlines.
It is if your name is Anonymous.

Networking is good.
Yes. And the jury as well.

One of the major challenges of apt-get is not typing get-apt. :)

Even with the US footing a major part of that bill a lot of the socialized parts of the EU are still finding it difficult to pay their bills.
I am only commenting on the intellectual ability.
The cause I am not certain of.
One of the effects of retardation is stupidity.
Clinically correct language: take it or leave it, but you can't have it both ways.
Sure you can. If you are stupid.
Like I said. I understand and mostly agree.
I do not care how wrong it is. The term "auto-rape" is fucking hilarious to me.
I am so sorry.
I read the whole thing and I did not violently disagree with any of it.
But when I got to the end I could not help but laugh out loud at work.
Just had never had the term "auto-rape" inserted into my head before.
On an international website?
From an old slashdot FAQ.

I am sure that more education is the only thing affected.
As long as there's massive demand to get into the big name, high price universities, it won't get cheaper.
Try not to forget that there are huge subsidies paid to hide the true cost of the education from the consumer.
This tends to modify consumer behavior and drive costs up as well.
But Obama follows the every tweet of Bieber.
So Bieber not only influences Obama (As can be inferred by his handling of issues.) but also has the millions of teens.
