Where you've been living, on a Moon or what? SACD specs have been published a few years ago, SACD players also have been available, for at least a year.
I have heard a lot that there is really no shortage of qualified people with computer skills, it is just the fact that most of the companies are looking for younger kids willing to spend 18 hours a day in front of a computer, and with a very small salary demands. Well, I have somewhat different perspective. First, if coding is what you've been doing all the time, since you were 18, 28, 38, 48... than you end up fucked up a big time - but you have to realize there are some other things besides the coding. My transition for instance was as follows: a coder (assembly language and machine code) - systems programmer - network programmer - network designer and architect - performance and capacity planning. As a part of my transition I had to go back to school to learn more math, statistics, and probability, and related subjects, never felt sorry for that, at this point inspite of my advanced age I feel very comfortable with myself and fairly confident if I do loose my current job I won't have any serious problems finding another one. The problem is that lots of people I've meet in this field - well, they just got stuck with their current level of knowledge. Or outright fraud. Don't know a shit. Here is an example. we had to hire consultant (we didn't have funds to hire perm for a while), so we have contact agency, received several resumes. One (american-born) looked a bit like lightweight. second one - resume was great, also american-born, unfortunately for that guy I had a *luck* to meet with him at my prior job and I knew that guy was a fraud, pure and simple. So I've recommended to pick up the third guy, from India. A guy was really cool, hardworking, was a real pleasure to deal with him. I know I know this is not the typical case, but nevertheless these are my experiences. Cheers.
Amen, brother. I've been at 2000 Las Vegas Interop show when they have announced the formation of ASP organization, whatever they've meant by that. I"ve spent several hours listening their speeches. Never heard or seen more confused presentations, noone had any clue what that was all about, but everyone was hyped to the max. One of the organizers was Jim Metzler, rather miserable fellow with very little knowledge but lots of ambitions, oh well, just don't want to think of it anymore.
I had at least one web page, www.saabusa.com which Mozilla coudln't display - ever. The old Netscape (3.x and 4.x) works fine, but Mozilla and Netscape 6.x fails. Contacted both mozilla and netscape several times, with no avail. The problem is still there - it displays a blank page. So I am using Netscape 4.7x instead. Even if it crashes every once in a while.
I've met Karl at Las Vegas Interop Show. Really knowledgeable, smart, and very low-key type of guy. Nice and friendly too. He was at Multimedia/Multicast interoperability booth.
Works for Cisco, but knows different platforms quite well.
why didn't you? Paul V is pretty outspoken fellow. I still remember the e-mail he sent to dns forum. At some point domain name registration process was free as a beer. Then you suddenly had to pay $50 a year. There was lots of complainson a forum. Then e-mail from Paul V - he called the whole forum 'a bunch of scum-sucking morons'. Was quite a while ago but I still remember this one. Scum-sucking moron, isn't that something?
As soon as we are able to modify ourselves and transform ourselves to something else - we'll do just that, and this will be the beginning of the end of human rate - and ultimately - our civilization. The cataclysm will happen. It is only a matter of time. It can't be prevented. The funny thing about technological civilization - once you've started there is no way back. Every solution creates its own problem, its solution in turn creates yet another problem, etc.
GOsh, this is REALLY a perfect timing. Just as I am about to write a review on proposed book on lambda switching etc. Desperately trying to remain serious.
I prefer GOOGLE. Since I've started using it, that's my search engine of choice. Absolutely extraordinary. For science and math it rocks. Only yesterday I had to check on how SAS supports MANOVA procedure. Did Google search, got the set of results, sorted by the order of relevancy, everything was just great. Don't know how they do it. Sort of a magic.
You sound like you believe you were the only one who actually read RMS' article, and everyone else is the bunch of illiterate jerks. It is just as silly as the original article.
KDE has responded and did the right thing. I think response was a bit too polite, though. RMS editorial is not just outright silly. It is utterly hypocritical to say the least. RMS shoot himself in a foot. Period.
See response from KDE on their site. I think it's right to the point. RMS doesn't sound too cohesive, sort of contradicts itself. No doubt the fact that he sits on the whatever board that supersived all future Gnome development affects his judgement (not objective in this particular case). I am beginning doubting his integrity.
a downfall of Internet, now he moves to Open Source and Linux.
Everything will fall -- eventually...
In 4 billions years our sun will become a supernova.
Deity which allowed himself to be crucified, my ass. This whole bloody religion is for loosers.

Our killing of TAZ was *not* part of a natural Darvwinian process. Human beings are no longer part of the nature. They often kill just for the fun of it. Eventually they'll destroy all life on the Earth and themselves in process. I'm sorry to say that but even Linux won't survive.

you site suck. and so do you.
And they'll have huge picture of RMS on the walls. -- Crucified.
just wonder

I'm going to try it on sparc as well. CDE is ok, but I just don't feel like start learning it. Seems like it's on its way out.

so how much professor Leibowitz charges for his academic integrity?

What are we going to see next? Soliciations to participate in some pyramid scheme?

Read the fscking specs first (if you can read)
According to the latest thoughts of RMS, GPL is not compatible with itself either.
