In return he could sue the hell out of them for falsifying their e-mail headers and addresses and for using his domain name without his permission.
In addition I'm pretty sure someone could probably find a way to use US copyright laws and make them pay money for using his domain name (Intellectual Property) without his permission.
Where are those generals now? Forced into retirement. Could you link to some sources? This is an interesting statement.
Brownie completely fails at his job and gets rewarded by being a consultant to examine why he failed doing his previous job. Well at least he is given the opportunity to learn from his mistakes... or to cover up how much of an [incompetent/corrupted bastard] he might be.
Reward the incompetent failures with buckets of money and act as if they're doing people a favor, all the while, the folks who do the real work, the grunts on the front line, get the shaft. Every time. Awwww... Is the USA a company? It's run like one of a kind you describe. Well It's run by people involved in the Petroleum, weapons and other private industries so no doubt it is.
What is strange is that there are no chinese company claiming i can do the same for cheaper... They always copy anything they can (at least so claim the japanese people I meet)
Surely they must be protecting their production processes to still be the only ones in asia to produce that.
No it is not...
It's like suing the whole country but for cheaper and with higher monthly compensations
The music industry is an archaic culture... it's too old to work, crapping it's pants and hitting anyone who gets in reach of its walking stick. But it still wants to get paid more for doing nothing
You don't download? Well there is a saying in a very similar culture: "If you beat your wife everyday and you don't know the reason, don't worry she knows".
And while the MAFIAA beats people it can't walk, it just loses more ground. Thanks god there are people who come and do the job for them, otherwise they would be asking for more laws to protect them... wouldn't they?
I partialy agree with your point of view. Everyone should stick to standards established by consortiums and implement the standards, and eventually extend them (like OpenGL, OpenDocument...) Then we can speak of interoperability.
Supporting the existing non standard formats is good for everyone on the short term, on the long term everyone loose. Only the owner of the format might win as he owns the existing installed base and decides when a version is obsolete and when you have to install the new one, for how much it depends on his control over the market, not on how good the new product is.
Well done. Give yourself a pat on the back It's hard to admit, but it's true, playing controller vs mouse is totally impossible (even on on 2 PCs) the player with the controller can score only in close combat with a lucky rocket.
This will be true for every player level.
What graphics chipset does a PC have? Irrelevant. Hardware is abstracted thanks to DX and OpenGL, OpenAL, Messa... If the hardware doesn't provide the necessary functions it doesn't meet the minimum requirements.
FPS can. not. be played on a controller
I finished Resistance: Fall of man on my ps3 last month. What he meant is: they can not be played to their full potential. Without poor tricks (assisted aiming, enemies who spend 3 seconds to aim, or near infinite HP for example) these games can't be played.
This is why there is no "one hit out" realistic games on consoles.
I can already foresee the potential Human Machine Interactions that could result from this technology... In a blink of a thought he built a genetic algorithm that will learn how to interact with his business partners and optimize his negotiation skills.
almighty [...] "web developer". Who are you calling a web developer!!! Watch your language!:@
And get [...] off PHP and use a real [...] language Sorry I am not a web dev and I don't know too much about this subject... But I need to output some data using GD and generate some XML on my servers.
And PHP is a real language. To me it's as annoying as Java and C# for it lacks multiple inheritance support, but it does what is advertised, it works on linux, BSD, Solaris, Windows and others and that suits my needs.:)
Otherwise if you have better languages to suggest, you are welcome to share your wisdom;)
I would be happy to see what is your favorite environment for home use and for work (and what type of work you do). Then we could compare...
Anyway this thread is about PHP and windows. I just pointed out it still runs better on Mac OS which is a native BSD system.
it's a damn shame that it sucks for languages worth using for more than ten-minute one-offs. Well you might be quite uneducated on the subject so I will help you. On Mac OS X you can use ASM, C, C++, Objective-C, C#, Java, Pascal, Perl, PHP... In fact nearly any language that runs or compiles on Linux, Unixes or BSD.
But as you seem to lack of proper education in computing I understand your confusion and frustration with an unfamiliar OS, just like I get frustrated on half pipes, I'm more of a speed junkie ^_^
I am forced to, yes. How can someone force you to use something that isn't fit for the job? It's up to you to chose a better solution and introduce it to your management. Otherwise I would recommend you quit your company if you didn't get the proper training to do your job. Either way it proves your company isn't serious about it's business.
Yeah, because using them daily for most of a year means I don't know how to use it. A friend of mine has a dog that uses toilets, but that doesn't mean it knows how it's supposed to be used... Apart if toilets were originally designed to quench ones thirst.
Errrr... MacHTTP? Does it still exist?
100% secure... Well I would not bet my iLife that OpenBSD is 100% secure so even less chance I would bet on Mac OS X.
But for my needs (as a web dev), yes... by far the best OS.
Blame the price. Noone wants to pay $4000 for a dev box. (Not in the US) Why? I probably payed less than $1500 for my MacBook (I use Euros).
And anyway it's hard to believe US Americans are too poor to buy proper hardware. Mainly when it's cheaper than in the rest of the world.:P
You are right in one way... The same way the applications like Word, Office and video games will not work on Linux, IRIX or Solaris... But that's not the point.
Actually It will all run on a Mac just the same as on a Dell or on an HP... (You can run Windows natively or virtualized or both)
But none the less Apache and PHP will run better on Mac OS than on Windows.
And I use Visio and Visual Studio on my mac (in VMWare Fusion) anyway... So I have the best of 2 worlds ^_^
If you feel Windows is right for you good for you. If you prefer a System V environment, good for you. As a developer I found the perfect balance between the web tools (apache, perl, php, jakarta...) and the daily casual tools (iLife, iWork) to burn Video from my HD camcorder or to keep organized with iCal...
I recompiled Apache and PHP with the options I need just like on OpenBSD or Linux, it works like a charm. Mac OS is a native BSD environment (Yes I am a BSD fan since long), PHP works perfectly and the tools offered by apple work seamlessly. Mainly Time Machine backups from my small macbook to the Mac Pro, this is perfect!
I have no need for a Mini or a Mac Pro I have no need for a Cray or an EPIA, doesn't mean it's shit or pathetic, it's not the right hardware for me that's it.
Apple's hardware is pathetic. An uneducated guess... Or a peasant's answer... at best. You can chose to buy your components separately... Like anyone who wants to have total control over the hardware. Like any hardware company, SUN Apple or HP will give you the best for the hardware you buy considering they have good drivers for it and a system taking full advantage of it...
I stopped buying components since I left College (did buy some upgrades during my studies though). It is not only useless most of the time, it's also time consuming and just dumb if you don't have very particular needs.
I went through 3 Dell laptops (owned) and was the administrator of a dozen more (and of hundreds of other regular PCs) during my studies.
I also had the pleasure (and displeasure) to work at SUN (with Solaris), with SGI workstations, on Windows (3.11 to 2003 Server RC2) on OS2 on QNX, BSDs and some Linux flavors...
Finally none gave me the satisfaction and interoperability I have now with my OS X (and my less used Linux boxes). As a consultant the Mac is much more versatile as I use it for work and for personal daily tasks without the need for visualized environment (apart from.net:()
not either underpowered or ridiculously overdone That's the iMac... Or Macbook.
I would love to see what you believe is bad in the Magsafe, the magnetic screen and other hardware designs from Apple... if you know what you are talking about anyway ^_^
I work at a place with about 40 OS X machines running Leopard. How are you related to these 40 machines? Do you use at least one on a daily basis?
It's shit. Well if you don't know how to use it, it sure is shit... Just like Solaris, IRIX, Windows, Mac OS or anything else is shit to my grandma. She prefers the cassette player and the TV.
Innovative is not exclusive of "bad" Indeed, until now Apple provides me with the least worst design I found (for a price an average sized company can pay). \
Anyway... I'm happy PHP now gets even more compatible with Windows (I heard something similar when 2003 came out)... But if you want the best dev environment for PHP it's definitely the Mac!
Depending on how you look at it... when you are used to vi and command line indeed you don't need the GUI. But then who needs it.
And to the hardware it's just like other PCs... so indeed it lost it's PowerPC appeal... but still, apple has the most innovative daily use design.
If you never tried, or if you tried 5 years ago you can criticize as much as you like, it's pointless.
I never ran into hard compatibility issues when working in Windows.dev/Linux.prod. And never ran into any issues since i switched to the Mac.dev/Mac.prod solution ^_^
Even Mac.dev/Linux.prod is totally seamless.
It really makes me wonder, why on earth developers don't all switch to the mac? Price is definitely not an excuse anymore, and compatibility issues are tales from ages ago.
I also do some.net programming from time to time, it runs perfectly well on VMWare Fusion. The sole inconvenience is the fact that you have to activate your windows twice every time you reinstall (once on Native/Bootcamp and once in VMWare).
We should soon see the kind of nano wire we had in Syndicate Wars replace the barbed wires... much more effective.
Be sure military will find a use for veeeery thin wire... even if it's just candy at the moment, it sure they will make it with something much more consistent in the future.
Re:"How will you use XML in years to come?"
on
The Future of XML
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
JSON is fit mostly for communication and transfer of simple data between JS and server side scripts through object serialization. But it remains limited. You can compare JSON to XML only if your knowledge of XML stops at the X in AJAX
Beyond that scope comparing these two unrelated "things" is irrelevant.
The tools and libraries available for XML go well beyond JSON's scope.
DOM,
RSS & ATOM, OASIS, Xpath, XSLT,
eXist DB are just few examples of tools and libraries surrounding XML.
XML is designed to let you create your own protocols and formats while using only one simple base format (XML), one simple descriptor language (Schema or DTS) and you can convert your formats and protocols using one transformation technology (XSLT).
There are languages to query XML files and collections, XLM databases and many more examples including scientific, vectorial and 3d imaging formats.
I believe the word Interoperability was created with XML in mind... Or maybe the other way round... whatever.

You just introduced a very interesting point of view...
Do you think one would get cut in half if one came to visit the factory with a camera?
The scary thing... They might think of using it for themselves to boost their own deployment. Why not?
Thanks,
That's very interesting.
