I usually run at lunch time. It's a great way to break up the day and reset my mind. I don't use any gadgetry to pass the time - I watch the scenery and ogle girls. It's great.
An interesting side effect: by the time I get back to the office, I have at least three solutions to try for whatever particular problem I was working on before lunch. They just sort of seep in without any conscious effort.
I'd like to ask some of the U.K./.'ers what's hot (in comedy) now over there? After all, it's only a matter of time before we get the lousy knockoff, or better, the actual show.
I know "The Office" is big, and we have been getting of few of those shown here in Canada, but is there anything else on the way?
And I changed the default password, and closed all the ports I'm not using, and I upgrade the firmware regularly, etc. etc. Out of the box, these things only serve as bottlenecks - they need to be configured.
These devices are certainly capable of helping, but it takes at least SOME effort from the user.
The parent was concerned about trojans shutting down firewalls (and opening ports, etc). The router won't allow these types of things to happen. I'm not saying that an infection couldn't happen, but the activities and damage caused by the trojan will be curtailed.
By the same token, devices that upgrade well will be noted by the buying public and purchased over devices that do not.
Although the article has a negative spin on the art of upgrading, I can see lots of positive aspects as well: new formats emerge could well be addressed with upgrades, security holes could be filled, etc. However, the device *must* do it well!
Back when everyone was writing assembly the first C compilers came along and everyone said "it's too slow!". And they were right. But, the compilers improved over time and now no one complains that native code written in C is too slow.
The same thing is happening with the JVMs. At first, they were dreadfully slow, but they have improved, and will continue to.
Dude, when was the last time you went to the states? There's tonnes (I'm Canadian too!) of really great micro- and not-so-micro-brews available at the local grocery store now - way more variety than in Canada... Some good West Coast ones: Redhook, Pyramid, Karl Strauss...
He seems to think there is only one source of Linux, Red Hat, and continually compares Windows to it. Even Linux users are questioning some of Red Hat's latest moves, and there are many who believe SUSE is closest to a viable large user base desktop Linux distro.
Traditionally, the biggest competitor to vxWorks (by far) in the embedded space are home-grown OSes. Now some of those people are moving to Linux and getting a robust, full featured OS for free. Perhaps teaming up with RedHat is an attempt to at least sell SOMETHING to these people, namely a toolset (Tornado IDE).

I trust you. After all, you ARE a Saint, right?

I did, and they didn't get it. *sigh*
Ditto.
I watched this server die right in front of me. No doubt hosted on someone's sister's i386.
/. when exactly 6 people can come look before it's dead?
What's the point of making a high-larious website and posting the link to
These jokes could be funny, but most of us wouldn't know!
Bastard! There goes another 45 mins...

Well, strtjakt, say you were in a straight jacket...
Even better, they are going to machine them so they mechanically impossible to put in backwards.
But big companies have procedures in place that accomplish the same thing.
Are you a contractor? If so, I can see why the company is expecting you to provide the phone.
But of course!

This why I am so happy about my Linksys router.
I say we send someone to find out for sure... Darl, you interested?

Yep. When my wife asks me what I am thinking, the answer is usually the sound of static.
My kid's daycare has a pretty good batch going at all times...
It never had the performance of native software

Thank you. For whatever reason, I was having trouble remembering some of the many beers I was trying...
