Even the Beats knock-off STREET ANC cans from SMS have the noise cancelation that is reviewed as being as good as the QC line, while being cheaper, and having a different mix of connectivity options and styling choices.
Bose has got to start differentiating themselves or innovate instead of leaning on brand inertia.
Cron has specific semantics about batch scheduling of tasks or periodic, non-overlapping tasks. It runs them in a particular execution context, and I like knowing that it logs it an very identifiable way (both through the audit log and cron logs). Syntax of a cron job file is very low on the totem pole of things I care about when it comes to batch or periodic tasks. This is not a trivial task, as you say, and it deserves a closed system, especially if it must be targeted by cross-platform products needing such a facility.
It's pretty much only useful as a short term medium of exchange.
Exactly. And it has certain design criteria that make this a really interesting prospect. Unfortunately not enough people are interested in using it for this purpose, probably because they don't know enough about it, or don't trust it.
For example, I think it has potential for a "free" way to do high volume B2B settlement among international entities... but I never hear anyone talk about this.
IBM's consulting services and design expertise on the big iron side is where all the money is. All the money in that they are the highest margin portions of the business and they get to set prices (very little meaningful competition, lots of opportunity for lockin)
I'd love to explain it by way of analogy, but I don't want to stretch the concept of the fuck beta too thin, and car analogies are so last decade. Let's just say IBM wants to advise you on how you can escape from slashdot beta into their loving arms.
On my desktop you can only fit about half as much content, and it has definitely negatively impacted usability. Also it's missing some key infrastructure changes that should have been top priority that were ignored for making it just seem more modern.
Which is in the spirit of many Amazon reviews, where the comment is sort of on topic but then goes on to discuss how it might be an analogy for (or direct cause of) Slashdot's beta site sucking. Some of the posts I've seen in this vein were absolute gems.
Fred is a terrible comic artist and hasn't grown _at all_ in the 10+ years he's been puttering around with that waste of a comic. It also takes him entirely too long to do a single page and have the audacity to not even bother to ink it.
In that period of time Penny Arcade has changed it's graphical style immensely, having evolved a very distinct, vibrant, and clean look, while meeting deadlines, and even being in color!
Agreed! And the way alcohol lowers inhibitions, makes individuals anti-social, destroys families, and allows one to forget their problems (instead of confront them), I don't think there's a bar recipe for success in The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks either. I don't know why we ever repealed prohibition!
I'd like to think that the whole Active Directory ecosystem is moving in a positive direction because of efforts like these. I have no problem with the LDAP + Kerberos + DNS + "Forests" and standardized structures model that Microsoft has championed; it is a very successful, flexible, and apparently extensible model and technology stack.
Let's just say that what Einstein called God (the God of Spinoza) was not really what anyone trying to justify their own religious beliefs would want to use to support an argument from authority.
Spinoza's central claims were that 1) there was no immortal Soul or afterlife 2) God is abstract, impersonal, and unknowable 3) God is Nature (capital N). This is the exact opposite of the personal god of any current modern Abrahamic religion would like people to believe.
What Einstein was effectively saying when he believed God wasn't playing dice with the universe was that he didn't buy into weak or modified anthropic principle to explain random vacuum fluctations eventually leading to -> big bang leading to-> our observed universe with singing dancing meat. He thought it was more deliberate, but that isn't remotely the same thing as intelligent design either. He (nor Spinoza) didn't necessarily believe that humans were special or the "goal" of Nature. Spinoza didn't even believe in free will although he believed that men _believed_ they had free will and that the distinction is important.
That was how humble they were, as far as that went. They were too humble to think we are special, nor can we make strong assertions about things that they felt are unknowable.
Spinoza and Einstein chose to call this idea God out of lack of a better term to describe the ultimate insignificance of us to it (Nature).
I would get an android phone in a heartbeat but google in its infinite wisdom requires carriers and handset makers to include a camera to officially call it an Anrdoid device. They need to rethink this. You could suck up half of the extent BB market with a simple policy change.
QNX has had some security issues in the past, weaknesses built-in access control mechanisms and legacy capabilities that I think are dangerous to the uninformed, maybe giving you enough rope to hang yourself. But he certainly seems to be reinventing the wheel; if security is paramount I'd recommend GHS Integrity RTOS. If you need something more well-known, it's certainly possible to develop secure firmware with VxWorks as a base.
The real security comes from a sound design on top of the COTS product(s), and a workable way to integrate that with external C&C, which is the responsibility of the group designing the whole package, and it can only be enhanced, not enforced, by the developer of the RTOS and other components.
If Kaspersky builds something that, as he claims, cannot be used insecurely, he may also develop something no one would want to use.
I also know of two pairs of now-married employees in my corporation are both very similar. One such couple are both very narrowly focused in aligned skills and interests, geospatial app development. Another such couple are both high-level engineers that do program management.
I think it just depends on the people. If you put your career first, and then the relationship happens later, then I think it works great! This particular story is one of people getting involved with someone they just met on a particular team, and this particular individual sounds like a leech (and I know of a few in our corporation too, we tell people to stay away from them).
They standardized the naming convention of thread primitives for C11-compliant compilers and C-libraries. The system can still use posix threads under the hood, but now there is a intended to be forward compatible that you can leverage.
You will still be able to use one or the other. In some implementations you may be able to leverage both facilities (like using _Thread_local storage qualifiers in code that otherwise uses posix threads).
I strongly believe he wasn't thinking that far ahead.
It's funny, if you're only thinking about Microsoft's software being coded by monkeys.
If I said something about the next feline incantation of OSX, and how it was written by fairies who wouldn't part with it without gold trinkets, but I was off a version number, I'd be ridiculed similarly I'm sure.
Do the words "first" and "post" have some kind of magical quality indicating bad faith on the part of the poster?
Anyway, did you LOOK at article, mods? Did you SEE how lame the characters look, and how Shinji's mirror character looks even MORE like a girl, but the other two less so?
OTH the eva concept art is amazing. I just hope they dominate the movie/screentime.

These are very good reasons to be angry about it.
Also, you are a cur.
Actually I'm sure your mom is a very nice lady but jesus christ that's the understatement of the year.
But a new _look_ is just that. It doesn't fix any problems and just introduces new ones.
Also: your mom wears poorly fitted shoes.

We have very pressing matters at hand that happened this week, not last week.
I was wondering why they were trying so hard to make this site an unusable mess.

Another example of a comic with a distinct style that has evolved and is wonderful to look at is Octopus Pie, see:

Windows XP 64 _is_ Server 2003 x64, uses the same security patches, and is most definitely supported.

Pop music still has its uses.
At least I'll get Mike Mignola's autograph.
