VPN and firewall rules should be a decent bandaid to protect telnet servers from outside connections. But "off like a bandaid" applies better to telnet.. gut it.
His "robotic factories" example reminds me of how DoTs(Damage over Time) works in WoW. If you understand how the game treats DoTs, you can increase your DPS quite a bit by not just blindly refreshing them only when they're about to expire.
In WoW, class mechanic "bugs" are not exploits, they are typically "features" that weren't thought through. Using them won't land you in trouble, they just get fixed later.
Don't give input to how they can improve the design, no, insist that they double the workload by supporting two versions. Any change is bad! Get off my lawn!
Exactly.
Also, I heard IPv6 is horrible and IPv4 is perfect and will scale perfectly. NATs forever! Won't someone think of the cable/dsl routers?!
The other side of that argument is that group discounts is good for both the provider and consumer. A large reliable income for the provider and an overall reduced price for the customer....assuming the consumer uses the service.
I liken it to heath insurance. Much cheaper in groups, but the healthier people lose out because they pay for the unhealthy.
I'm just offering another view... screw ESPN360, my ISP has it to...
I think QoS could add some amount of value, but I think it needs to be carefully.
I have an idea of how QoS might be implemented in a "fair" manner.
I Win7, I know you can assign QoS to an App or data stream. Let an ISP have 3 different priorities.
1) High priority would be a guaranteed bandwidth that a customer gets. An example of this might be I have a 2Mb up on my connection. I might only have 192Kb of "dedicated" bandwidth because ISPs over subscribes. I can assign on my machine to flag a packet to have high priority, but it is limited to 192Kb but those packets will get higher priority on the ISP's network than a packet of normal or low priority.
2) Normal priority would be the default. A simple first come first server just like on a normal dumb switched network.
3) Idle/Low priority would be that all other traffic would go ahead of this. This would allow P2P to use all idle bandwidth but not hurt the network during peak hours.
These 3 priorities would be ISP valid only. Back bone links could use priorities, but only recognize normal and Idle. This would allow for P2P to not flood internet bottlenecks during peak hours, but still allow the internet backbone to be neutral.
How this would help is ISPs/service providers could reduce costs or make free on any bandwidth that is flagged for idle. This would encourage users to actually set P2P traffic to be idle/low priority.
This would all be opt in as the OS/app would flag the packets. Assigning high priority to every stream would be discouraged by the limited bandwidth allotted to high priority traffic, but still allow the customer to enjoy low ping/jitter for VoIP/games/etc. Idle priority would be encouraged via perks like idle traffic not counting towards monthly caps/etc.
School was much harder than my current post-graduation job. I have more free time to, not to mention the perks of making money rather than spending it.
I will say that I'm learning a lot more "real world" stuff at work though and it's much more enjoyable to see your product get used rather than graded and discarded.
The head of my CIS dept prided himself on the quality of the students they put out. They had ways to weeding out baddies, including advisors refusing to sign off for allowing students into classes because of lack of "quality". Many of the higher end classes required permission from the teachers and the teachers weren't fond of baddies.
To even graduate, you get a cap stone project that is a real project from a local business. The business itself will grade you for 60%, your project partners give 30% and the over-seeing teacher gives 10%.
My uni has had 100% of its graduated CIS students find a job within 1 year of graduation for the past 20 years with and average starting wage of 75k for the past decade.
I think the point was that the community didn't have enough say in the direction of OO in the first place. The only way to combat that was to fork. Forking is duplicated work and inefficient.
Forking is both a blessing and a curse. The blessing part is that it allows for a group of people to take the current code base and change it to the way they want it. The curse part is it causes code to sprawl in many directions and there is much wasted effort and even worse is the ever changing frameworks and standards.
Open source is like evolution. No unified vision, but very resilient and adaptive. An environment that thrives on diversity, but the end result is not "optimal", but good enough.
Closed source, *if* the producer has talent and is concerned about the customer, has a vision. The vision is created and is "optimal", but the much reduced diversity makes it less flexible. Also, any design flaws with the vision itself coupled with reduced flexibility makes the worst case much worse.
Overall, I think Opensource will win in the long run, but Microsoft's power/money and sheer programming/engineering talent will keep it afloat for a while before they have to specialize.
Is there a place to look-up how much money they accepted? I know back in the 90's, Clinton gave out ~600bil to ISPs to build out. I would assume the big names would have taken the majority of that money.
Self replicating and self installing virii? I think Win7 has 1 or two of those. Everything else requires the user to install it. Even then, those 1-2 virii still require admin privs.
Or the myth that running Windows will get your virii. Been Virii/Malware free for 12 years on Windows, 10 of those 12 years without active virus scanners and the past 2 years with MSE1/2.
Tip, don't run all your apps as admin and don't install every program you see.
I can't even get a job a McDonalds without a phone number. Every manual labor job I have ever had required at least a phone number to get hired, even if to the local homeless shelter where they can get a hold of you.
On top of that, to get internet/gas/electric/etc, I need a working phone number. To rent an apartment I need a working phone number.
My city will offer a free land-line if I cannot afford the $5/month for one. heck, even the federal government will give me a free cell-phone with a few hundred minutes if I cannot afford one.
I really like this point of view, but I have another point of view
It does come down to where the costs actually are though. At my company, we may spend $2k for a license for a server, but the server costs $60k. We purchase a new $60k server every half a year. Each server will be used live for about 5 years and another few years as a devel box. The cost of day-to-day monitoring and server up-keep dwarfs the cost of licensing to an almost meaningless value. Live graphs for each servers CPU/Network/IO(bandwidth+latency) is monitored 18hours per day by at least one person, usually two.
MS products also have much less of a learning curve to do basic things.
I do fully appreciate using the command line, but sometimes I don't know what my options are.
The problem I have with getting dropped into a commandline biased environment is there are too many options. I need options and settings logically grouped in order to learn. Once I've used the GUI to learn the settings that seem to be of use, I can further research on how to correctly implement those settings.
Not everyone can afford to spend $5k/year of their $60k/year paycheck while sending their kids to college.
Also, not everyone can afford to spend 6 hours/day at school while working 10hours/day and having a family.
Just going to a 2 day conference can cost $1500 and that doesn't include time off during the work week, transportation, or hotel costs.
Now that you spend $2k on your conference, you can no longer take that family vacation, but hey, at least you're adding value to yourself. Just remember to tell yourself that when you're 50 and you don't know your children.
I've already read about transparent Aluminum glass many years ago. Problem is it requires being taken from molten hot to frozen before certain internal structures can form.
If enough money was put into it, we already have the tech to make a car's wind shield out of aluminum, but it would be crazy expensive right now.
But yes, the current talked about glass is opaque, but makes for great support.
The difference between Dark Matter and Luminiferous Aether is they made something out of nothing. What's going on here is we have "something". We have gravity. This gravity is measurable and is out there, but we cannot find the matter associated with it.
Heck, based on the amount of gravity "Dark Matter" has, there is more of this unknown material than material we do see.
Something out there is creating a crap ton of gravity and we can't see it. Since mass is needed for gravity and matter is the only thing we know of that has mass, we figure we'll call it "Dark Matter" until we know more about it.
Dark Matter itself isn't something, Dark Matter is just the "idea" of something we don't know and we describe this unknown something as "Dark Matter".
The truth is out there..... LAWL.. had to.
I like to think of Dark Matter as a NULL value in a Database. It's a known unknown.
Linux projects with commercial backing is because there is some sort of benefit to the companies supplying the money. I fail to see how OpenGL development will help almost any companies. Kernel development can help many, Open Office development can help many, making your video games that don't exist run better doesn't seem to help most companies.
Hopefully the only recently released opensource ATI/AMD graphics drivers will take off.
Speaking of which, some guy got sent to 5 years in prison for accessing his wife's email account with the password she had written down next to the computer.
I'm sure some random person who actually hacked/social engineered his way into her account would get much worse.
More like a particle accelerator analogy. Here's the math and logic on how it works and the tools to change its settings. Have fun customizing and tweaking it to do what you want.
If the average person owned a particle accelerator, I doubt they could make any meaningful changes to its operations even with access to how it works and tools to change it. More than likely, they would just break something.

They don't "sell" degrees.
This is my take on opensource

I agree. Goku always had some new level of Super Sajin to rise to. An infinite amount of doors to open :p

So, you're saying Win7 doesn't "just work" for you and you can't switch from your "HobbyOS" to Win7 because you use your HobbyOS.
Great logic.
I'm not arguing between Linux and Windows, I'm just stating your logic is flawed.
