It was at the University of Dayton in the late 90s. ADA was the language they taught all their intro computer science classes in. They then switched to C++. I didn't like ADA, but looking back that may have been my own prejudges more than anything wro

Where is your sense of patriotism? As a proud member of your country, your main concern should be to push its GDP as high as possible. Sure, not everyone in Cambodia thought very highly of Pol Pot during his restructuring , but do you have any idea what h

I'm starting to suspect these new formats are pushed by corporations just so they can suck money out of our wallets. Pretty soon (circa 2020) they'll probably be announcing a new format that handles 10,000i video, and why we need to throw-out our old video collection.BACK ON POINT: Dialup works just fine for surfing the net.
Ironic that in a story about spam, you are spamming about an anti-spam solution. Personally, I avoid any company that uses spam-vertising like yours (and if you think we believe you aren't affiliated with them like you claim in your other post when your onl
I understand your point, but frankly, the "harhar post it on slashdot" crowd is absolutely right. The people he wants read this site, I can guarantee it, and at least a mention of the project's site would have done him some enormous good. Honestly, creating interest in something you're doing involves announcing its existence to like-minded people. What better forum than this one?
I believe they switched their download center website over to silverlight quite a while ago. They used to bug you to install it and "test out the beta" version of their site if they hadn't left you a cookie the last time you visited.
I wonder what happen
More like 1940.
"Blowups Happen" had quite a few predictions that ended up being reasonably close. One was that nuclear power plants would use a steam cycle. Another was being off by only a factor of two for the explosive yield of fissioning 2.5 tons of
If there was a power outage, they might not be able to find the guy to turn on the machine? Then it's time to upgrade.
I agree with you that if it works, why fix it? But when a product has reached end of support because 1) the manufacturer has stopped supporting it or 2) there is no one in the working population that knows what to do with it, then you have to get it out of your infrastructure. You cannot continue to rely on products that you have no way of fixing if they break. Just because it hasn't broken in the past 30 years is no indicator that you won't hit something in the next 30 that won't break it.
My stock response to that sort of remark is "Oh, which versions of Linux are you familiar with?" Then gently lead into the idea that one needs roughly equivalent exposure to an OS (or App, whatever) before committing to the best one. If the victim has half
Everyone loves the overpowered monstrous Gundams, but there's something in me that likes the simpler Zakus. I also like the RK-92 Savage from Full Metal Panic. There's just something about clunky, mass-produced military technology.

I'm there with you buddyWhen I drive, I find the joke comes across better when I look the person in the back seat in the eye when making the punch line.
I mean the idea of being able to commit changes to your local copy of the repository (whatever that is called in your DVCS of choice) without having them pushed up automatically to a "safe" central location. We encourage the use of private branches in SVN
Interesting point, but it's probably no easier to replace the eprom that loads an FPGA than to make any other change to the device - routers have software already. And it wouldn't be an issue with an antifuse chip.
Slashdot Mirror
EAT ANALGESIC
after only 10 comments... anyone have a mirror?
You can't add pixels that aren't there, and an out of focus picture is effectively a lower resolution.

Depends. Linux 2.4 -> 2.6. Better example: Anything after OS X. We're up to 10.5 now, but everyone's drooling over it. Why? No numbers at all

Am I the only one that is completely confused?
Thank you. That comment made browsing /. today worth it.

Heh, I checked out his previous comments - turns out YOU are the propogandist.
My screens just do not have that kind of real-estate space.
