No, actually.. the article I read about it on CNN implied there was a great deal of symbolism to his death as it relates to what is happening in our country (the U.S.).
The advantage is that it takes advantages of Windows authentication to do all of the encryption operations so it greatly reduces the overhead for the programmers dealing with the DPAPI. It really seems like an easy thing to dismiss, but then you have to consider how horribly most developers screw up crypto in their applications and the DPAPI makes a lot more sense.
That is interesting. The article implies they still have some code running in CF using BD.NET (BlueDragon.NET). I wonder how much of it is C# vs. CF at this point.
Wait-a-sec.. apples are about 50 cals a piece if you eat it with no skin and bananas are only about 100 cals. Thats 750 calories or so. If your on 3 meals / day thats 2,250 calories. If your doing weight maintenance you do three meals that big / day. Throw in a little workout and you will still be losing weight.
MySpace is developed in ColdFusion. NewAtlanta communications developes software that MySpace uses, which allows it to run ColdFusion ontop of a.NET CLR.
I am VERY concerned about this gnome sequencing you speak of? Can you assure me that no garden gnomes were harmed in this sequencing? I am calling the PETG (People for the Ethical Treatment of Gnomes) about this one I think.
Oblivion has pretty good weather and environmental effects. There are times when I am playing it that if it starts raining I actually feel my mood shift slightly more somber and I actually will use the games "wait" command to avoid playing in the rain, so I think there are some games out there that get the environment aspects of the game.
They very likely have physical components that they must test to ensure that they are operating properly. Computers have no large physical devices to calibrate/test.
Well, I give your review review review a 4/5. You make some substantive points, but overall I must consider that a review review review is fairly removed from the source material.
For those that don't get the Simpson's reference, well just never mind.
Just kidding. Go here for the episode script. Search for "Bill Gates" and you will jump to the appropriate section. Though you should read some of the background as it makes it a little more funny.
Ahh, I was just thinking monthly. Anyhow a video game that makes even 10m in profit is doing something good. And its clear they make a significant amount more than that over and over, every year.
I like Ubuntu. I had to do just a little tweaking of the default installed software. There is even a little Gnome applet that shows me the processor scaling. It is a Core 2 Duo laptop. When it gets busy once in a great while the frequency of one core may jump up to 2ghz. Rarely do both need 2ghz. 95% of the time they sit at 1ghz a piece. Core 2 Duo is truly wonderful. With 7200 RPM hard drives and dual core processors this laptop feels more responsive than all but the best of desktops I have tried. And It does it all while being far, far more power friendly than your average desktop. 100% Pure Linux.
The key way to say it is that he is a BILLIONARE who is a 100% certified attention-whoring assclown. Billion. That gets you a lot of attention regardless.
VMWare has two free products. VMware Player and VMware server. I use server on my Linux laptop to run Windows and it works just fine. The performance is excellent on Core 2 Duo laptops. The VMs running on bare metal would be nice, but the free hosted solution just works.
I work in a division of a large software company. If you have good english speaking and writing skills and you know your stuff you can easily find work. Me nor any of my bosses or their bosses that I really know of discriminate based on skin color or nationality. All we honestly care about are how well people know security. If you have the technical skills and you can communicate effective with clients and potential clients nothing else matters. Just as it should be honestly. If you are interested I suggest you shop your resume around. America is a big place and my impression of all our folks here on work visas is that they enjoy they time here. Some will stay some will go home. If you are a good developer you should look for work here and come on over. Getting out in the world is a cool thing!:)
Good programmers can easily earn 80K here if they know Java or C# well. I'd say 5-6 years experience in a mainstream language and a good CS background or equivalent and an ability to sell yourself can get you that here. If you have niche experience in a particularly useful/hot field you can easily make 100K a year.
Thats not true at all. They are only about $500 dollars and they last a good bit longer than your cheap $100 chair. Not to mention they are quite configurable and worth the money. If they allow people to get more comfortable and work more efficiently what does it matter? $500 is just a drop in the bucket for the cost of your average tech worker making $55,000 / year. Same with dual monitors etc. It makes people feel appreciated and they will very likely be more happy if you show them you care. Or you can replace an office chair every couple of years because you bought a cheap POS at office depot that was no where near as comfortable. So lets just put that one to rest aye?
You conspiracy theorists don't ever give up do you?
Never mind that "softening" the key structures of a building is more than enough to cause the building to fold up on itself. You gratify those that destroyed the twin towers every time you turn the suspicion back to our government. I will blame our government for any number of ills. In fact I am very quick to assume the government is out to get me and no longer cares about the common man. The loose change movie has been debunked so soundly you do yourself and others and intellectual disservice to even mention it with any seriousness.
Thats not a fair way of how you optimize things in my experience. The old rule of thumb that 10% of the code does 90% of the work holds true for most large systems still. Then you consider that you could probably rewrite a small subset of that 10% in an optimized fashion to achieve good performance gains. You are looking at much, much less than 1,000,000 lines to review and optimize. A good profiler and a little patience will help you find that small subset that may have performance issues. A good compiler that optimizes everything at a global is still a valuable tool, but a good compiler can only do so much. You still need the right data structures and algorithms. Those are quite a bit more important than compiler choice in most cases. I see your point about the futility of coding an entire system in assembly, but it is a good idea to keep an eye on the larger picture of how the software evolves.
I recommend the book called "The Happiest Baby on the Block" by Karp. It breaks down their first few months of life in easy to understand terms. The book is pretty much all about how to calm down babies so they cry as little as possible. I can attest first hand the techniques really do work quite well. Also get one of those battery powered/motorized swings. Ours absolutely loves to sit in his swing. Our arms would have fallen off swinging him by now.
It isn't so bad the first few weeks. Mine is 3 wks old. At this age you just have to meet their basic needs. You still have a little while to figure out all of the trickier parenting things and such.

People that care about the principle of least privilege perhaps?

And more like a 100 million dollar industry if all of the Asian subscribers payed the full $15. You were by a factor of 10.

They mean, specifically, Microsoft SQL server. Usually when someone says "SQL server" they mean "MS SQL Server". Not just "a SQL server". :)
