Roger, I agree with you but I take a practical approach to nearly everything I do. We develop software at work and we have to be realistic about the world in which we work.
Okay you try hiring a PHP developer who has a F*C*ING clue. Now try hiring C++ developer who has a clue. It is all about skillsets of the workforce and what you have to pay for a certain skillset. More people can "get by" with NT then they can comprehend what "chmod 666 myfile" does. Right click, Look about, (sarcasm)drool(sarcasm) click a few check boxes add a few users, Voila.
Microsoft people are definitely NOT idiots. Heh. They have avoided any serious legal issues to date and continue to own the market through their dominance. They have a bunch of bright people. You cant tell me that with so many programmers a good chunk of them arent into the open source movement. Its just fallacy to assume people dont know whats going on cause they are MS. You may not be able to buy EVERYTHING with money but damn near.
So, here is an interesting question. Does the nose of a k-9 dog count as an unordinary search. It is not technology per say but it definitely is not something thought of in the constitution. The dog can "look" in your property and find stuff that you may not want it too without your consent. Then the police have probable cause. What if it wasnt a dog but a piece of electronical equipment? Interesting thought no? Anyone know of any previous legal happenings in this arena?
Oracle did not instantaneously become a enterprise scale RDBMS overnight either
I mean if they continue to develop the product and add features who knows.
No not a treat yet but after a few years of sucess in the midsized world they could have a mature enough operating system and product to really make a break through. Think big big picture, not just, the next two months;)
From site:"
Sorry! You and all your friends wanted to see this site -- All your friends got here first.
Needless to say, the server is smoking. The site should be up again shortly.
--The Management"
You know you do to much SQL when you type "From" and then "site" and you automatically try to capitalize the from so it reads "FROM Site S" lol.. I typed that anyways
You are in the interesction. You realize that if you dont FLOOR it and accelerate much faster than your going you wont make it. Braking could leave you in the intersection of the speeding semi whose breaks have went out and is coming down a hill. Good enough?
I think it was tasteful. Showing to much and a whole bunch of the potential audience (game players etc) couldnt watch the movie.
It wasnt a major draw for me. I just wanted to see her dressed up like croft. Just wanted to see another tasteless action flick that kills an hour and thirty minutes. Anyways some people have to overanalyze (everything).
As a hax0r d00d I never understood the motivation in hacking systems. Showing your smart, boosting your EGO showing how much you think you know etc. How cool you are for defacing sites.
Join the secret service or FBI in their computer crimes/internet divisions. Youll have privilege and power and access to more data and all. To me busting the real hackers and guys out to harm people is what a true hacker is. Maliciously doing stuff like taking CC #"s by the thousand.... stealing money from banks via wires etc. If its knowledge and power you want the federal agencies have it. Not j03 script kiddie who can run a few exploits and 0wn a server.
But America *HAS* lasted over two hundred years. That is a feat many a nation cant brag about.
Maybe things are going a little downhill and some of the flaws of our republic are glaringly obvious now yes that is true.
But it is still a nation where one person can makea difference. Obviously people like GWB can make it to the presidency. Jimmy Carter made it and he arguably was a pretty laid back southerner. The point here is that anyone can make it to the presidency still.
I just want to voice my opinon that while not perfect there isnt much better out there ya know?
America is a huge economical force. I live my day to day life with no governmental guidance, okay I know it is there but by and large im free. That says a lot. I can hop in my car and drive to the edges of our country without anyone caring. I can buy a gun and shoot it, hopefully for a long time to come. I can do all of this and hey I can still become nearly instantly rich if I was lucky.
While not perfect I don't think America has held together without some very strong glue, perhaps not everlasting perfect glue. Good stuff nonetheless. Anyways.... Just a little tired of all the unfounded political bashing going on around here. People fly off the handle complaning about GWB, the justices yadda yadda.. yet how many of you can give irrefutable proof that our president is on a course to destroy our nation and unhinge our morals and destroy the economy? Till then...
Flame me or call me a troll but they cant seem to compete because they cant get a product that works to market. Integration with windows or not I have yet to see a usable version of mozilla.
Oh try the nightly builds you say?? How about.. I can still crash Mozilla with Javascript that will work as per what they say is supported in the DOM in Moz 1.0
Oh well, that couldnt possibly have anything to do with it could it?
Think of all of the projects that could have had a slight snippet inserted. Think if you picked 10 popular sourceforge projects and studied them and designed a quick little backdoor for each.
Hack the SourceForce (SF) server inject your modified binaries, hide your true intention hacking the projects and heck get whatever private data you can etc.
Thats what source forge has. Sure people will notice eventually but what hacks dont go unfixed for long. Its an ugly situation. Think back to the old C compilers themselves that compiled backdoors into every program it compiled. Owchies.
You would hope securiy is SUPER tight on a system with this much public influence
Sure it is but it could have been anything.. even the source forge software itself in which case anyone else using it SHOULD be told etc.
I believe in this thought: If what the parent of this posts parent did not make you think back to when you have went over a similar endeavor (writing/studying OS and Compilre design) and you dont find it at the VERY least rewarding to say, I wrote an OS and drivers for it.. Then You should reconsider your career.
Nope, Just like most coke machines are hooked up to a phone line and they can track how much coke is in them and when to restock them and it is also how they do much of their pricing of cokes.
Modems = able to go on the net = able to effectively control pricing remotely based on sales times and temepratures.
So yes.. they are networked and all. Not EVERY coke machine is but most are.
I just felt like griping about contextual pricing because it bit my arse:)
I was rather happy to pay the money for the soda.. hehe.. saved me a 80 minute hike to my car and a 10 minute drive to the store, oh ida prolly dehydrated by that time. And it was actually water I bought. I was just showing the scenario:)
Its the heat of the summer and your drenched in sweat desperately seeking a bottled water or coke machine because you forgot your drink.
You spot a coke machine and a bottle of coke (20oz of liquid) costs 3.75?!!?!?
Yes they call it "contextual pricing" just like from the article right? *cough*
Yet in the winter that coke costs oh say a mere 75 cents.
What gives?
The coke machines have thermometers in them and they jack the price up as the temperature increases / decreases.
How lovely.
When you are talking thousands of dollars this just is NOT going to work out. The backlash would be even more severe! Were no talking 5-10 bucks were talking 100-500 bucks here! Owch.
Didnt you just restate the fact that they would have to deal with the whole hardware/OS thing??
Still they are the content (game) providers here since they arent true console market. WHY NOT use Linux and not get stuck with MSFT crazy ass software leasing scheme? Ehh?
They would have to design all of those hooks. While I understand that you are nailing the poster for technical accuracy the thought is still correct.. Linux has some nice dev tools for it that for the most part rival anything else out there... Why not capitalize on that?
I think with the Dot-Bombs and all the IPO craziness dying down this is more done with good intentions (Nokia is already public DUH!! they dont hafta IPO)...
Some of the prettiest C I have seen. Comments where they should be. Written modular and split up into parts that make sense. Simply and elegant memory manager. Hell we ARE talking about the server to jabber. If you dont like jabber.com server start your own server and get your friends using it!
Best of all, my company has looked at possibly using Jabber server side and open documentation for our own custom chat client. Grab the windows jabberCOM and hack up a quick VB client, instant chat the way you like it...
Jabber is some seriously cool stuff and is IM the right way IMO.

We all know what that has done to net gaming on CS

Just wanted to point that out, Different data modeling paradigms. You can map the two but some things are still trickier.

None they are legitimate businesses each with seperate domains :)

I think the "making it permanent" part removes the portions of the etch a sketch that make it reusable.

This is so bad IMO.

Download the Jabber server source.

Im afraidim going to have to ask you to come with me.
WHy if you changed that to
while(1){ malloc(100); sleep(1);}
You have the sekrit sauce that makes IE so great
You know, some of the time its just not off topic.
Get yourself 84U of rack spacing (expensive)
and you have a 600 node beowulf cluster.
Hello World!
Thats pretty sweet cause realistically 84u for 600 computers isnt shit.
Thats a pretty ontopic post, damn moderators.
Jeremy
Well, Look at Mummy I..
Silly, coulda been bone-chilling, the designers of the movie chose the light heartded method with cool action (yes its pretty good)
So, Again if they wanted to make it more serious they could have, but I think how it is is on purpose..
