I don't really want to go through the fun of setting it all up, along with the cost - if someone is just going to mooch off of it and/or do something stupid in there to either break that, or another system and get traced back to me.
I'm all for the concept I suppose, but I think I see a wide range of new ways to abuse it...
since ram is already getting so damn cheap (I recall back not too long ago - '95'ish - when it was $3-8 a meg) - now with these technologies to make it lighter, faster, better, cheaper - how much less will/can it cost?
my guess is that I will start getting paid to use the ram.
windows xp is coming out soon and will be on all the new computers shipped.
not sure about the home version, but the pro version has remote administration features all over the place turn on automatically with your install.
I see no good coming of this.
(they have one thing called "remote desktop" which is basically like pcAnywhere, presumably so that you can call customer support and say "I don't know how to do XYZ" and they can then take over your desktop and get it all worked out for you... and hackers will NEVER firgure out how to use that!
they also take over compressed files now (zip and such) and deal with in their own way - which isn't the way I want... annoying.
there are parts of it that are nicer, but for the most part, it just screams "I'm a security hole waiting to happen - hate on me!!!"
looks like these are not quite the same. what I recalled were carbon rings that, due to their shape, would pipe the heat away up through the tube (very small tube) shape. seemed they moved heated air moreso than conducted the energy directly.
and I don't recall any application of the energy then being reused, whereas this article seemed to indicate these could do that. very cool.
hmm, that is likely what they *want* - but I doubt that is the case. somebody knows it, and plenty of people could reverse engineer it - there likely just wasn't the need or desire - until now. I have a feeling it won't be long at all until there is an easy way around this.
my easy way around it is not allowing anything msn on my system. (I installed winXP on my computer and even though I disabled msn in all the menus, it ignored all that and still took over and came up all the time - I finally just killed it by deleting its files and all references to it in the registry... amazing how quiet it got after that) - I hate real player for the exact same reason (it asks what you want to do in the menu system, you tell it, and then it goes and ignores that and does what it wants anyway, which is usually to assume command of all file associations regardless of what you asked it to do)
I haven't had a chance to see the article yet - but I know that there was something a bit back (on/.) on this where they designed small "pumps" that cranked the heat off of stuff and they were very good at it - this sounds very similar.
oooo - an automated corpse.
I suppose you could work in some sort of tubing system into the real doll in order to heat it continually - otherwise they are cold silicone - on the site they recommend soaking them in a bath of warm water before engaging with them.
unless you are into that necrophilia thing.
lord knows I am. but only with dead horses.
okay, I could spend $1000 and have a kick ass system, spend an extra $100 and get one of the best heatsink and fan systems.
Where can I get a sweet mortgage deal like that?
OR
I could buy a Mac (where your link points) for twice as much, and have it be slower, and less accessible (let me clarify that, my grandmother might be able to stumble through it - but if something goes wrong, you have to reboot, you can't get into the inner workings).
Also, if you have ever used the apple Ti laptop, then you will know that the "superior processor design" will burn your legs if you are wearing shorts and have the "laptop" on your "lap" - yeah, that's fucking brilliant design.
the mac religion is tiresome and boring to listen to
I really don't get it sometimes. like do they seek them out? are they the only ones applying for these positions?
I imagine the interview process must be interesting - "well, george here does have two legs but can barely walk, drools, and babbles incessantly about bugs 'eating his skull' - sounds like the perfect canidate to lead this deal"
I on the other hand am obviously perfect. and handsome.
isn't sendmail notorious for holes - qmail... that's different.
anyway, the point is that they are switching to open - that is good.
ideally this will allow other companies to use them as a point of reference (so ideally the community helps them out so that they have a successful run with it so that it doesn't make it looks bad).
right now, most corporate slobs I know see things as "the more expensive the product, the better it is - if it is free, then it must be really bad"
even one of our IT guys here at lunch told me that he hated our Vertical Sky/MKS source control system (for good reason - we all hate it), and he knew it was cheap - so therefore, if we switch to CVS (what all the engineers want), then it is free - so it must really suck.
I wanted to smack him. he is an idiot with other stuff too though (I can count on more than one hand the number of times he has seen a preview for a tv show or a movie and then misinterpreted it as the news and then proceeded to tell us about it the next day at lunch), so I suppose I should have expected it.
if you think a mac crashes to frequently, you just aren't rebooting enough.
don't blame it on the memory or the lack thereof.
(blame it on the dutch, or the rain, or somaon midgets)
I assume you meant Maxtor there. Matrox, while the right letters, makes video cards.
As for pair.com (what the article refers to) I have an account at pair.com and they are excellent. they will lock you into good rates and they have solid uptime and speed.
I like them very much, and they are easy to work with and configure - so I'm certainly glad they are going for more reliable drives.
not sure why the parent of this message got modded down, seems fine to me.
I will add that WebLogic is what we are currently working with, and they... well, it has many problems - esp with the clustering - so I wouldn't just shrug it off as a cure all - unless you don't plan on using it and instead want your clients to just read the weblogic documents - "no look, it says right here this works, please disregard the fact that the code doesn't"
I will say that weblogic, from what I've been told by coworkers that deal with them, have a very good customer service dept and they make an effort to track all the problems in the code.
that's impressive.
I worked on a project and yes - ASP is retardedly slow with XML - we were doing XSL transforms/translations and the tests we did in ASP were worthless (but ASP still kicks JSP's ass all over the place). so it was all done in the COM objects (done in vc++) and they were of course plenty fast.
I have another questions then - how does the.NET do in clustered environments? right now the biggest problem we are running into is caching the config data for a clustered group of servers and the associated problems (integrity, persistence, etc).
In order for me to buy a phone, it needs to be two things 1) shiny, and 2) small.
I love Nokia phones, esp the two I have, the 8860, and the 8890 - and they pass the "smaller than my penis" test. and they are shiny as all get out.
but this monster looks huge. how exactly are you to carry it around? and only a small part of it is shiny.
this is fucking ridiculous - this guy gets a mod score of 2 b/c he says "linux good, grrr, ms bad, grr".
whereas the people that point out that he is *wrong* get modded to zero.
fucking idiots.
anyway, the parent to this dudes post raises some good points - but I'm curious if.NET, since it is a VM on top of the OS, which is what Java is as well - does it run as slowly? or slower b/c it has more languages to work with?
all I know is that I spend all day programming business apps as that guy said, and java sucks balls, but I'm not certain that.NET is the answer to it.
oh and, linux linux linux - I run it, I also run all the MS OS's - so let's see how I get modded.
fuckers.
don't ever take away my broadband connection. I don't know what I'd do. I have AT&T right now, and they have been pretty decent, back when they were MediaOne here in Cambridge, they sucked big hairy balls, but now the service is good, but expensive. I love it though, a linksys router there and the firewall it has, and then a wireless hub on top of that. I'm loving it, all with crazy fast downloads.
if that goes away, then I don't think I want to live.
I know that there are free courses at both Harvard and MIT, but I really am too lazy to go and do that, but I'm honestly not too lazy to sit in my room and read all the stuff for the class - esp if the assignments might be online.
granted you don't get the diploma that has the prestigem but I don't care, just want the knowledge.

$10 million for their head.

well, technically it is bacteria. and the ones they are using are wrapped in a spore casing for protection.
a virus would be much smaller.
