clearly there is now a market for a serial-port heart monitor. Here's my software (patent pending, you Amazon bastards): do {} while (heartbeat()); system("format/erase/pattern=dod C:");
Seriously, I play Quake, Star Wars Racer, Need For Speed III, etc on a piddly $499 box (we did add a TNT2 card for $72). Maybe I'm missing something I'd be getting on a 'kick ass' $2-3K box, but I dunno what it would be...
X servers can communicate with clients over a variety of communications channels including network streams, shared memory, and unix domain sockets, etc...
I looked at the first one and couldn't believe they said it took Knuth 30 minutes to solve the 2nd maze -- took me just a couple -- the secret, as I suspected, was to work backwards from the exit...
If I came exited this node in this direction then I had to have come from this direction (usually there was only *1* possible one!)
It is ISA because it emulates an IBM MDA video card, which was...wait.for.it... ISA-based!
Yes, you can send the three-finger-salute, control-tilde to get command mode, then 'x' for, hell, i dunno, some canadian word I guess, then 'c-a-del'. Similarly you can send all the other keys which don't exist in ASCII.
This thing rocks. And yes, we have > 100 servers in our datacenter connected by serial consoles (via lat terminal servers to ethernet to our console server machine).
The only problem preventing us from buying a bunch of these is while it works perfectly in my $499 personal eMachine, I can't get the fscking Dell servers to deal with it!!!
There was an article in the local paper recently about a big metal fabricating company here who went out of business after 30-some years. Their biggest customer was bought by somebody and the dropped their orders significantly (all the while saying (lying?) that they'd return to their normal amounts as soon as things settled down -- but they didn't, they went to 0).
A similar thing happened to me this summer. I've consulted for 10 years or so. In the past, we needed that money, luckily now we don't because my largest customer's largest customer dropped them -- they folded, I folded, we all folded.
I didn't really care, (our little boy was starting Kindergarten, so it gave me a chance to get involved with PTA, coaching soccer, etc), but it scrambled a lot of other people's lives.
It is very tempting to keep increasing the amount of time an attention you give to the people sending you the biggest check every month, but you will create either a tail wagging your dog, or a collapse-in-waiting.
Perhaps the explanation of why Linus is silent is van Kampen had a deal with him -- perhaps as simple as OK, if I register these domain names? -- Yeah, OK
That would have been true before the end of December -- but this really is the product that has been shipped to manufacturing and to vendors and which we already have on campus (even though the "official launch" is Feb 17) [presumably to give their promo dept time to spool up].
Painter [the government lawyer] replied that because the government could not understand what was in the files, it could not use the files as evidence at trial. He also said that Rule 16 did not apply because the encrypted files in sense were not "really in our possession," because "we don't know what's there."
How is *that* relevant -- suppose they confiscated a physical device from you which they were unable to understand -- would you be forced to explain it before it was returned to you?
For all we know your honor, this mysterious cylindrical object could be a weapon -- it makes an ominous vibrating noise when powered up!
He (and you) have some good points. But, it's not like you can't do this things in other languages. One could argue that:
void qsort(void * A, size_t N, size_t S, int (*compareFunc)(void *, void *));
is parametric polymorphism!
Hopefully, it doesn't take the average programmer of the dread/dead 'non-OO' langauges long to learn that you don't write N functions which, for example, traverse binary trees, or lists, or whatever other container you dream up -- you write 1 which, like qsort, takes a 'worker function'.
So now you have a set of functions to traverse containers (list, trees, whatevers) and a set of functions that do operations on 'objects' (OK structs) and you combine them -- voila, essentially you're 90% of the way there.
It's perfectly OK to 'think in perl/java/c++' and write in C:)
Exactly, this is just the usual go-nowhere dog-n-pony show that Republicans love so they can trot it out later to the dottering old blue hairs to show that they "are doing something" about the "moral crisis in America".
Why do they do this? Dottering old blue hairs vote and you don't...
Here are my thoughts. Unless you are an early poster, your chances of being moderated up (or down) are slim -- even with the 'wasted' replies begging 'Please moderate this up'.
What if *everybody* (except ACs) was a moderator (even on topics you posted to).
Just like now, some small fraction gets moderation points and for everyone else we add a radio-box: <O> <*> <O> -10+1 to every post, and a [RATE] submit button at the bottom of the page.
And these scores are tabulated and used to
compute a score [say using the ratio of plus-votes/minus-votes, bounded by (-5..+5)] and this score is used to
order the posts just for the actual moderators -- say, posts with the largest absolute difference between the "great unwashed" score and the moderated score first.
This way really good, but not yet moderated-up, and really bad, but not yet moderated-down posts come quickly to the attention of the moderators.

For example, my 6-year old gets around a lot better with icons than words.
The same would be true of anyone who doesn't have a great grasp of the language used (and exactly how many web pages are in every possible language?).

Might as well do something instead of just sitting there sucking smog...
Isn't the intersection of the sets:
- Clueless enough to allow massive DoS out of their network.
- Yet likely to install this detector.
