Whats funny is that when I mention that two of my projects have a 7 layer networking protocol stack I get slammed by slashbots saying "no stupid! Its only a MODEL to analyze network communications! Its not a protocol stack!"
Uhm, I've got 100kloc of kernel code and a room full of standards verification test documentation that says different!
then, WTF was the point of mentioning slavery?! That second paragraph was so non-sequitor... UNLESS the intention was to say that running on SPARC is a moral sin! (I've seen Solaris do some crappy stuff, but I find inanimate objects to be amoral)
The only way the grandparent post could have been better is if he mentioned Hitler, terrorism, and the Bhutan death march. That post read like a Kids In The Hall sketch.
Ink wire?! no no no. Read obscurestore.com. I read that article days ago. That Romenesco guy culls all the inkwires for our pleasure and benefit.
The rejection/subsequent post thing is so common, I decided to make a joke on the Skywalker Ranch Vineyards (you may not have found me as witty as I found myself. But trust me. It was witty;)
accusing the Bush administration of distorting scientific fact and supressing findings to fit administration policy decisions on the environment, health, biomedical research and nuclear weaponry.
Bush administration? I believe you mean 'nukular' weaponry. Common mistake.
I drive by them all the time. I hand deliver to their post office box (well, I give it to the guys and ladies behind the counter, THEY put it in the box!)
But by not having to support a brick and mortar Netflix lets me keep DVDs for as long as I want. And since I can drop it off at their box my turn-around time is phenomenal (a monday morning drop off results in a Wednesday delivery. A Thursday drop off can result in a Friday delivery. Kewl.)
the people who grasped these ideas are the long term winners.
Sure, spammers claim that they make money, but just like intrusive telemarketers their days are numbered!
Some domain name speculators made out. Some vapourware employees made out. But these are flash in the pan events.
Jeff Bezos and Co turned a profit! How? By aggregating their shipping (that free shipping option that allows them to pack more onto a truck) they are using tried and true business methods to stay profitable.
So what have we learned form the new economy? If you don't have a sustainable business model (i.e. 1)hype 2)??? 3) Profit!) then cash out quick! (however I think that business model is pretty old; Con-men have been around for years!)
Montgomery County, Maryland has an enormous drinking and driving problem, but its with repeat offenders who are not at all disuaded by the law.
There is a PER SE provision where if you blow.08 the cop takes your license on the spot (and gives you a 10 day temporary).
But this isn't enough to discourage people who have no respect for the law. As long as they have a car, keys, and gas, nothing is physically stopping them from driving.
Now if you told me this technology would be mandatory for anyone convicted of a DUI/DWI? I'd probably be in favor (kinda like sexual abuser registry).
The Onion AV section holds plenty of weight, even after the joke articles get old.
I find their music and film criticism to be especially astute; I'm sure there are examples of bad calls but on the whole I find their criticism insightful.
And their interviews are top-notch.
The biggest problem with the AV club is the annoying ad click-through. But the content is good enough for me to look past.
Who said anything specifically about linux? I'm talking about open source as a WHOLE.
If there was an open source product that was competitive with Oracle you bet your ASS they'd be Fudding it out of existence (or rather, TRYING to fud it).
So the flaw in your comment is that you are comparing apples and potatos. IBM sells hardware and services (yeah, they sell AIX (Which I love, BTW) but as evidenced by their lack of low-end server boxes* (not talking about the intel re-badges, I mean their POWER3 and POWER4 chip monsters) they don't care to get their OS out to everyone- just the ones who can afford their boxes) And Oracle sell software and services.
Wooooo hooooo! Chalk one up for the little guy. Now if I could just get every other 80's fan from calling my phone number (867-5309-eee-ine) I'd be a happy man!
Ignoring the "Let IBM/Microsoft/DELL solve the worlds problems and give us cash!" angle, the US' stance does make some sense;
You might be threatening your burgeouning software industry/IP industry by promoting open source. Thats great if your goal for information technology is to make your companies money.
But how many countries are in the same position as the US? And how many more would actually like to leverage cheap costs of open source for immediate tangible benefit?
If the US was a third world nation, it would change its tune. IN the mean time, its business as usual.
True, in a world where a faulty SCSI terminator can cause intermittent behavior (Thanks a lot, SUN!) There's nothing like spare parts to swap in and out.
SiSoft's Sandra is good for some basic hardware info on the machine. It was nice finding out that the RAM I bought from Coast-to-Coast memory that I got a "deal" on was actually a step down in terms of speed (which they were selling for the "sale" price...so it all worked out).
They have diagnosit tests, but I've only used the free version. But its a nice first-line strategy for sizing up machines.
I don't want to downplay the possible significance, but if you are focusing on the "clumps" (what disparate entities have in common) isn't this akin to taking slices out of a data warehouse? Aligning everything along a single axis?
actually these days, Fischer Spooner shows up with their CD, plops it on, and dances along to it. Basically, their live show is modern dance and lip sync'ing. And they are downright brazen about it!
As for music sounding dated, I've got mix cd with Yaz tracks right next to new Drum n Bass tracks. also, That dated sound is still sought out by some new bands, too (look at all the retro-electro, like Miss Kitten and the Hacker and Adult. ).
They only use laser etching on the really perfect ones for identification purposes. The ones with lots of inclusions are, for the most part, unique (like finger prints) and can easily be matched to their cert.
And unless things have changed since I've been diamond shopping, they're just an Identification number. But given the IP/Trademark lawsuits I've seen on the net, I wouldn't be surprised if DeBeers had a "method for imprinting an identification code on a diamond" patent!;)
Considering Bananna Republic*(maybe only for petites, I'll have to check) and Land's End*(I think) have free return shipping back, its a no brainer. I don't go to malls; the clothes come to me. Thanks Internet!
Whats scary is that J.Crew not only sent my wife a thank you letter for being a valued customer, but Bananna Republic online sent her a Christmas gift. Me thinks its time to hide those credit cards...

Let me put it to you this way. Banana Republic.com sent my wife a Christmas Present for being "such a valued customer."
A PRESENT!
I guess someone's gotta keep internet stores a float.
P.S.- there are codes on line. DO you REALLY have to pay for postage?!

1)Internet Hype
2)???
3)Profit!
Actually, World of End's What the Internet Isn't (previously featured on slashdot) has the ideas that can be applied to the "new economy."

Excellent. Absolutely excellent. This is the best troll I've ever seen for a few months now.
I love that your baiting begins in the first paragraph by not only insulting DJ culture, but going the step behind and taking a pot shot at rap.
The part that I loved the best was when you said:
So, what are we in store for in the future. Going to see Synth programmers in concert?
Apparently, the 80's passed you by (P.S.- Depeche Mode sold out arenas world wide).
I didn't bother reading on. But Bravo to you, good troll!
yeah, it seems he's never paid for a BSOD! Unfortunately, neither has Microsoft. But when I get my hands on them, they'll pay. Oh, how they'll pay!!
Considering Bananna Republic*(maybe only for petites, I'll have to check) and Land's End*(I think) have free return shipping back, its a no brainer.

I mean who's going to remember if unobtainium comes before or after adamantium?
You are obviously new here. Welcome to slashdot!
