The majority of the posts seems to be sneering down in elitism to these poor folks that don't know how to setup a router in the CLI and, god forgive them, try to setup their home network by themselves, without paying a sysadmin to do the work.
Yes, a sysadmin that can't configure a router without a good GUI should be hanged by the neck until death, but last time I checked, the majority of the routers supported by OpenWRT were SOHO ones.
Do you really expect people that just want to setup a minimal network of maybe a printer, one desktop and two lappies to read RFC 1123? One shouldn't need to. Yes, networking is interesting and useful, but not everyone wants to be an expert on it.
I have seen a physics PhD setting up a wireless net for his lab with WEP, because the list of protocols was sorted alphabetically and it came before WPA. Well, he should have told the lab's undergrad to do the job but, nevertheless, a good GUI would at least put an (deprecated) near the option.
He wasn't being dumb. Would be if he put a short common word as password. Even if he didn't knew about dictionary attacks, common sense would have told him that they're easy to guess. Actually he chose some interval of the digits of pi because it had high information entropy. But how could he know that the router would offer an insecure option to him or which 3-letter acronym was better?
Since I've implemented it, the usage has been down, from 23% to 12%. And the january statistics shows the for the first time the percentage of firefox users is greater than the IE* users.
I've lost clients? Maybe. I'm a happier person? Sure.
It's not subjective. She saw the flash or she hasn't. That is all the matters here. Measuring the energy is futile, as it is already known. The idea of the experiment is correlating the flashs and non-flashes of person saw with the another. They can be dumb or smart, it does not matter.
Well, your retina is a little more sensible to handfuls of photons than your left butt-cheek, but apart from that, it's no difference. By interacting with an entangled particle you acquire its entanglement.
In this experiment, the entanglement will happen only momentarily in a few cells of the people's retinas. Then the self-interactions of the eye will kill it. So it's not interesting in the consequences, but in the concept of having a micro-macro connection, a human measuring apparatus having quantum mechanical properties.
But what would it mean to people becoming entangled? Technically, their actions would be correlated. Practically, its completely impossible to do it. A person's nervous system is a very slow and noisy system. By the time it would take to the entanglement couple itself all the way from the eyes to the brain it would be long dead. And to spread to rest of the body, pft.
But I can make a car analogy. If those entangled people would be driving cars, the cars would become entangled to. And if Alice turned right, Bob will be turning left at the same time. And vice versa. Not as a result of their actions, just a correlation. But of course this is silly and impossible.
That said, it is one of the funniest articles I've ever read (yes, I RTFA. Sorry;). Filled with subtle jokes, and has some science juice. It appears that the eyes are a quite good detector indeed, very resistant to noise.
I live in Brasil. This kind of things are announced from time to time, and the implementations varies. But they are mostly done. See for example the conversion of the government's computer to Linux. It was slow an irregular, but it was done, and it is working for some time know.
This is an issue that has been on media for quite some time, and it would be quite shameful if it failed again. I really think this time is for real.
The thing that really worries me is how these systems are going to be administrated. There aren't exactly a lot of Linux sysadmins here. If they aren't very careful about it (and they seldom are), we could end up with a huge expensive system badly misconfigured, that would just harm the kids and Linux's reputation.
Let me give you a real example. In my university, there are countless computer labs, and two of them run linux. One of them is run by be central administration of the exact sciences department. It is a bloody mess. They couldn't even get the user accounts working well, and its a heroic feat to get anything to compile there. The other lab, is run by the physics department. Mostly physics students that are hired to administrate it from time to time. Runs tighter than a duck's ass.
That said, it is really wonderful to get that mindshare, and for the first time kids won't be trained to think that windows is all that is.
And the defence lawyer wasn't sued for copyright infringement?
I mean, the MPAA has made 3 movies about King Kong. I doubt that Carl Lundström would be able to use the term if it wasn't by watching the movies. And 80 times? This is clearly a derivative work.
Yes, I do realize that. It's you who haven't understood the joke. Allow me to explain.
The watt-hour (and it does not matter if it is earth hours or mars hours, if you missed this joke as well) is a common unity, used when you want to talk about joules but they're too small, 1 watt-hour = 3600 J.
But when you say watt-hour per day, you're being a little redundant, and losing the big numbers on the way. Of course in this example they should not use watts to stay consistent with the surrounding text. But you could use joules all the way and make the joules per day point clearly. 648kJ is not such a difficult concept.
It would have been better if I said 7.5 W on average?
PS: Rereading my post, I've scrambled things, its 24 Wh/d = 1 W.
Let's see, we have "180 watt-hours per day". A bit long ins't it? As long as there's 24 hours per day (not so sure of that in mars;), we can convert it to 7.5 watt-hour per hour. Or 7.5 watts. Humm. So we have a new unit of power!
Lets call it Wh/d, and set the conversion 1 Wh/d = 24 W.
I'm not trying to defend microsoft, but maybe it's a form of virus protection? You know, virus modifies dlls, OS detects that the dll is not what was installed, and blocks it. No big deal. Sure, it might check if it was the user who modified it, but I don't know if windows is capable of doing this or if microsoft cares.
What I'm saying is, until I have a better proof that this is DRM I will not run around crying "evil microsoft".
That said, I will never install software from them in my pc.
Ok, it will generate some bad PR from the knowledgeable folks, like Vista. Some will avoid it. Most you notice that the compatibility problems are gone and you can find almost good drivers for almost everything.
What percentage of users are capable of hacking a dll? What percentage of users know what a firewall is, let alone check its configurations?
What can have some implications is the audio recording thing, if it does stop users from downloading videos from youtube. Most teens I know do this. And hell to microsoft if it messes with their sacred youtube, facebook and msn.
What worries me is that large corporations will like these features. "Hmm, a nice locked-down unhackable desktop. Yes, it will keep the network safe."
For me, their behaviour was outrageous enough in the XP times. I've switched to debian and never looked back.
Why funny? Seems a well reasoned post to me. Or it's dark sarcasm? I never get the hang of that.
That leaves the "first time computer user in developing markets" -- if they have anyone with any sense around them, these people would be convinced to buy Apple (or if they have a geek around, Ubuntu).
Or that's the funny part? Frankly, buying Apple in a developing country is a little delusional.
Your rejection of capitalism will ensure your third world status. Your corruption from your highest officials down to the average citizen will kill any business or competition trying to flourish.
Oh yes, it was prejudice and ignorance. An unrelated complain about corruption, that exists in all countries, and something about rejecting capitalism. Wtf? Last time I checked, Brasil is and always was capitalist. And may I be as bold as to remember you of Czechoslovakia, that embraced communism and is a first world country.
I'm surprised that you haven't mocked my grammar as well.
So you go home, download Ultimate and live happily ever after.
Go ahead and keep up that attitude and see how many Brazilian software startups rise up out of anonymity successfully. People are going to pay for software X when they're taught to just steal what they need anyway? Good luck!
I never said that I endorse this attitude. What I think is the right thing to do is to ditch Microsoft and move to open source. But I don't condone it either.
Imagine yourself in this situation. Just saved enough money to buy a decent computer, and got an crippled OS. The upgrade to an usable OS costs more than your monthly wage. What you do? Keep using the blasted thing? Gives up using computers? Sacrifices the welfare of your family to do the upgrade? Or you just download (steal? no, I'm not gonna argue that copyright infringement is a different thing than theft) a better version?
There are plenty of software startups here. The surprising reason? Their price is adjusted to the brasilian reality.
Your attitude is amusing and, quite frankly, a serious problem in third world countries. Nothing would make me happier than to see Brazil, Russia, China embrace and extend Linux or even start their own OS... yet all you do is pirate Windows and make your own situation worse. Good luck at the World Trade Organization meetings.
Really? So you can be happy already! Meet Red Flag Linux, a chinese extension, and Mandriva. Ever heard about that? The fusion between Conectiva (a brasilian software company! Unbelievable hein?) and Mandrake. And also, the brasilian government does not pirate Windows. It runs on Linux. But no, you wouldn't believe that. How these poor third worlders would be capable of doing that if even the US can't? And about WTO, I'd much rather be labeled a pirate than have ACTA shoved down my throat.
Because, obviously, only americans are capable of making a good acquisition, or realize that they've been conned.
That poor people from the third world can't even understand how to boot up a computer, how about running four apps? No, to damn complex.
I don't know if this is prejudice or ignorance, but I'm gonna be polite.
I live in Brasil, very third world, and Vista Starter was available here. Do you want to know how many people bought it? No one.
Here, copyright isn't actually loved and respected. If we are paying for the software, it should better be the best we've ever seen.
So, you go into a shop, finds Starter, "oh, cheap software. I might even buy it. What???? 3 apps???" So you go home, download Ultimate and live happily ever after. You might even get very angry and switch to Ubuntu, but that's rarer.
And I don't see anything positive about it. That being very cheap (I don't know the exact price), it could be selected by the government to be used in digital include programs instead of linux. So, instead of getting someone that has never used a computer used to having a complete software experience, you will teach them that cheap software can run only 3 apps, and you have to pay a lot to have a more capable OS. Great, isn't it? And let karma burn.
No one? So, tell me, how have you heard about Galileo? Found an dusty tome in a shelf of an old monastery, translated it from latin and amazed yourself of how ingenious he was?
He is only known today because his people 'modded him up'. Some of his ideas were controversial, against the good ol' Aristotle, but he was a very respected teacher, that made brilliant insights in various aspects of physicis and mathematics, and only later reached his astounding conclusions. Read his biography.
If some paper is refused for publication, it's because it's plain bad, not controversial. In physics, you have objective criteria of quality, and is by that that they're judged.
It might be cool to imagine the lone crackpot that made revolutionary discoveries that are ignored by the scientific community, but that is just romance. Crackpots are just poor bastards that couldn't even get quantum mechanics right and went nuts. What they say may look cool for laymen but is just plain rubbish.
I think I have a somewhat less irated answer than yours. And more precise, I hope.
The average commenter has used Vista for more than 5 minutes. But used it in the way he always uses windows: to solve some specific problem his grannie/mom/dad/younger_brother is having with it. How does he feel when he finds out that the things he did since Windows 95 no longer work, all the buttons are in different places for no apparent reason, and the whole thing is as slow as hell?
Well, he does have to solve the problem, so he sits there, cursing, browsing the net, learning how to fsck the system, cursing, posting on slashdot, reading about DRM 'n stuff, and voilÃ, you have an eternal enemy.
IE 6 accounts for circa 20% of my users to, but I've had enough of it. I made sure that the site was usable (not very pretty, but usable) for these users, put an alert(); in the index page, and that's it. Now I can do many cool tricks that didn't work before, and have a much cleaner codebase.
Yes, I know I'm gonna lose some clients because of that, but what the hell, the ones that were regulars will probably upgrade, and make the web a better place.
Supporting FF, IE 7, Opera, Safari and Chrome is work enough for me. Ok, no, supporting standards and IE 7 is work enough for me.
Hum, not quite true. After the IEs, the browser who has been most quirky for me is Firefox. But mostly simple things.
Print wasn't working. First ting I checked, all cables were connected. Done some testing, clearly the printer wasn't communicating with the PC. Checked the cables again. Connected. Blasted windows machine, thought I, rebooting it. Maybe some weird file is blocking the feeding, maybe if I clean it... Of course, it continued not responding. Blasted windows! Reinstalled the drivers. Not responding. Cursing bloody virii, manufacturing defects and ready to dump the printer, my father steps in: "Have you checked the cables?" "Of course I bloody checked them! Thrice!" Removed the cable with anger, just to see that it was just stuck there, not connected. Shame on me. but unplug and plug it again would have been a good idea.
My favorite one is the "Access violation at address 004D5AD3 in module '?????.exe'. Write of addres ????????"
I mean, what the hell an end user is supposed to do with that? Just addicts them to not understanding their system.
I remember a girl, that was so addicted to this behaviour, that even after switching to linux it continued.
She called me to discover what was going wrong with her app. Ok, got there, ask her to show me. She fires up the app, types some commands, clicks away the error message and turns to me smiling: "see?"
The import feature is still at beta stage, and it sucks. I'm yet to find a pdf, as simple as it may be, that it is capable of importing without ruining the layout. There was even an bizarre case when it put the images upside down.
That said, the export function is another thing. Never had trouble with it, and always use it to have a nice presentation.
You would imply that research groups would have an interest in saying they are better than individual researches. I fail to understand why.
Do you know that a group is compounded by individuals? And those that I know personally are more often than not grim due to having to share credit with other researches.
How about doubting a study basing yourself in its methodological flaws, instead of tinfoil-hattery?
