The first part of the comment obviously refers to the fact that the father feels his life is meaningless without his son.
The second part sounds to me like he was saying that he aimed to raise his child to be the best person he or she could be in the best schooling environment around. These arn't exactly bad things to aim for.
For a kid who's been raised in a fairly happy, loving family, having to tell your parents who've raised you and provided you with so much that you've failed them and yourself is probably one of the worst parts of the punishment.
Its when an irrational, emotional, deeply ashamed and confused child believes that suicide is the only option that we've failed.
Well, the big revival was tried back in 1996 with the Fox TV-movie starring Paul McGann as the Doctor. Now, say what you will about the movie, but it IS considered canon.
I just wish I could express exactly what I felt about that POS. So much opportunity squandered and then having the doctor announce 'oh, btw, I'm half human'. Fuckers.

Working with many small rural ISP's in Australia only the larger 2000+ user ones are making money to pay themselves and their staff. Anything under about 1000 users and you'll be covering costs and probably doing this as a hobby.
You may still be able to get a capped OnRamp Express from Telstra but that'll cost $999/month.
Telstra's been changing the rules of the game again and redirectors have become a lot more difficult to have installed in towns nearby.
The main cost is the per meg charging where its actually cheaper now to send bandwidth from a capital city to the US than it is to send it to your rural ISP.
You can investigate wireless but there are restrictions on it for which you'll need a telco carriers licence.
Lurk on the OZ-ISP list for a while and get a feel of how other people are doing.

Review: The Dish

· Score: 1
Yeah, the antics of 4 ex-comics becomming everything they used to mock and then whinging about not being able to get a decent latte out of Melbourne is just so hilarious.
Acutally one of the developments that has generated the most optimism, then pessimism was the announcement of a login application for BeOS that allowed multiple users/personalities to use the box.
Then a BeOS engineer stepped in and explained that while having changed UID's on login was a neat hack, and the first step, the underlying code needed a lot of work before it could realy be multiuser.
Its my boss.
Except he spams the whole tech team with emails that are just web-pages of MRTG graphs saying 'I think this needs a bit of attention' when its not even relevant to 9/10 people on the list.
BeOS beat MS in opengl implemenation performance, something linux cannot claim.
Those benchmark tests were from a closed Beta that hasn't been independantly verified by anybody. When OpenGL is actually released by Be Inc (eta, 2003) maybe we'll see more independant and checkable bencmarking efforts
When BONE is released (the new BeOS network stack) and the filesharing isn't based on WON (World of Networking, also broken) it should have a lot going for it.
Actually anecdotal evidence is probably one of the things Microsoft is most worried about.
Anecdotal evidence was even mentioned in Microsoft's Linux Myths page - "Reality: Linux Needs Real World Proof Points Rather than Anecdotal Stories"
When marketing departments all around the world falsify statistics, and fund misleading "objective" tests, its not surprising that people rely on word of mouth reccomendations and real world experiences they can see and evaluate for themselves.
I'd personally trust stories and anecdotal evidence from people who have performed similar tasks to the ones I do, over biased benchmarks and marketing hype.
Are there any courses around that teach this kind of material? I've got the book, but don't seem to be as 'hooked' as the reviewer, and generally it leaves me feeling dead and wishing I was coding in Eiffel again.
Revenge against a company that has treated its users shamelessly. A company that as outlined in the findings of fact, is a monopoly and abused that position to do its utmost to put other companies out of business using illegal and immoral practises.
I think most people are calling for Justice rather than revenge.
On the subject of your tag line, surely Open Source gives people the freedom and oppurtunity to learn about software? In that sense Open Source in fact opens peoples minds. The link between./ and closed minds isn't caused by Open Source.
Re-ordering the statement to 'Open Source. Slashdot. Closed Minds.' might make more sense.
Conversely Closed Source products deny the opportunity to learn about the source, and through licensing and the DMCA even contrive to deny users their fair use rights and rights to reverse engineer. That is a real closing of minds.

Cost is not the consideration for some developers.

Even while BeOS is free, I still wont be developing for it because of philosophical problems.
I still believe Be's very selective inclusion of GNU tools while being actively hostile to any notion that technology they develop should be opened up is not playing fair. The world isn't a fair place, and they have every right to do this.
Luckily I too have rights to develop for platforms where the benefits extend beyond just immediate payment and use. The GPL is a form of idealism in a jaded world that I'm prepared to support.

Before you badmouth GTK+, write a fully object oriented library in vanilla C.
But why would I when there's C++ available?

One of our clients was hit by that this morning and our mailq jumped from a couple of hundred to 4700.... slowed things down a little.
And of course the accounts staff (who's PCs we can't administer) got the virus too....

Will somebody save me from the hell that is maintaining an self-taught c programmer's perl code?
Does omitting all white space, save indentation, really speed it up that much?
Is enforced scope really too much to ask?
and wtf is $m, $m2, and $mt2?
