What I was saying, is that I want my memory fast, if it could take all day to write... I would write to swap, but since it can't take all day, I write to RAM, therefore, I don't want to write it to swap, therefore, I use fast memory, and wouldn't compress it, because this will take up time, and make the system slower. I don't need to rethink my position, since what I am saying is, I use RAM, because it is fast, I don't use virtual memory (when avoidable) because it is slow. Why would I want slow memory? Get it?
I use RAM because it's fast, if we didn't care about speed, we would all be writting to our hard drives and have about 2 megs of RAM and just use swap partitions for all of our memory needs. This won't last because, no matter how fast it is, it will be faster to write straight to the RAM.
You totally missed my point. People started ragging on BBS's because they didn't know what was going on in the news, but nobody in power really did much to impede on us using them, that's what I'm saying dude. They want to do that here. There's a lot of hype around the net, and everyone wants a piece of the action, and part of that mean that people with real power are going to take notice and try to shut us down. Chill man.
"enables developers to quickly build a wide range of applications for the new Microsoft.NET platform"
Ahh, so that's what it's for. It's sorta like, Visual C++ lets you make apps for Windows.
This lets you develop for.NET.
.NET, I certainly have mixed emotions about. As I do with this language... Most aren't positive, but at least the concepts seem to have their hearts in the right place.
.NET almost seems like it is preparing for Linux to become more dominant, as it mentions "built-in support to turn any component into a Web service that can be invoked over the Internet-from any application running on any platform." "Which could have been said built-in support to turn any component into a Web service," were it not trying to leverage the image a certain way...
Actually, it was a snipe at me, and my description of the BSD development model, it was child to my post. I mentioned CVS, and Microsoft, and he sorta used those words, but none of them were coherent or even together.
Remember the BBS days? People understood what was happening in their system then. The whole system was about sharing. It wasn't as fast as the internet, but you were more likely to find what you wanted. This is an example of what is wrong with the internet. Too many idiots. Everybody who doesn't even know how to turn on a computer wants to be in control of it and tack cyber onto anything that they say to do so (i.e. "Become a cyberwhiz"). I think that if you want to talk about something, and control it, you should at least understand it enough to understand what you are saying and the full implications of it. I avoid being wrong by keeping my mouth shut when I don't know what I am talking about, perhaps some of these people who want to regulate the whole net should do the same (no offense to anyone in particular).
Kinda funny. What I got from this article isn't, "Someone violated it, and this is who we are suing." It was more like, "This is why I have a job, and I promise that I will sue someone soon." It's akin to, "A meteor could strike tommorow." I'm not saying that I'm not glad that we have lawyers on our side. Thank God. Just, well, you know, the world didn't end on New Years...
What I would like to see, is a lawsuit against porn sites who grab the 100 most searched words and put them in their meta tags for search engines to find. I hate when I search for something that I need, and the first 20 pages are porn sites. If I was looking for "cum guzzling sluts," I think that I would have put that in as my search, now wouldn't I?
Yeah, but I'm waiting for 1.2, which is supposed to fix that whole 3rd arm bug, as well as allow for customization of several body parts and mental abilities.
This is called the concurrent model of software engineering. M$ also uses this model, in daily build form, similar to CVS. Though our textbook referred to it as build and test, we affectionately referred to it as the build and "fsck up" model, in order to help us remember the drawbacks (can lead to miscommunication and differences in builds chrologically).
Ok, think of it like this. A company makes a load of toxic waste, and dumps it in the ocean. Was it the right thing to do, no. What if there is no way that they can legally get rid of it? What if even having it is illegal? They didn't just wake up one day and say, "You know, I hate baby seals, lets poison them all!" They don't want to go to jail. They can't get rid of it in any legal fashion, so what do they do, they dump it. If you were in the same situation, you would probably do the same thing. Do you really think that they can assemble an underground storage facility somewhere without being found out ever? Of course not. Unfortunately, someone has to cover your ass in this world, otherwise you're gonna get f*cked. They're tightening their chastity belt, and right or wrong, they're doing it.
What they should do and what they can do are 2 different things. I'm not saying that they are doing what they SHOULD, but they are doing what they CAN. And they do deserve to be reimbursed SOMEHOW. This seems a lot nicer than suing everyone, and a lot easier. Even if it is just typing 2 lines into a config file. If you buy something, you have to pay. They may not deserve the money, hell registrars may not even deserve to be paid for what they do, but when it comes down to it, they don't deserve the shaft either, and they are just covering their own ass.
This was covered in the quickies yesterday. However, PDA's are one of the few devices where a gui is really an essential part of the process (to some degree). Gnome might not be the BEST solution, but it is a solution, and where there is a will, there is a way.
I mean hell, they run windows on them too... (no offense M$, it was just too good to pass up)
Well, they gained control of the domain names, they don't want to lose the revenue from them, they were promised revenue, they are trying to recover that revenue. Life isn't always so clear cut. I know that if I have a porsche that I can sell, I'm not going to give it to someone else to sell, even if I do step on a few toes. It may not be the ethical thing to do, but it makes business sense. I don't necessarily agree or disagree, but their legal right to do so could be argued.
Will they require the users to change their passwords?
Will they set the machines up to automatically update their software?
It would be relatively dangerous of them to dump a few million of these out there all with the same root password. I hope that they include instructions on changing the password/so forth. They really should include such things to enable proper administration.
As for autoupdating, that's probably a given, or at least some bastardization, er, uh, simplification of web update scripts.
Hey, I hate to say it, but if you wanna play, you gotta pay. I know that I don't like working and not getting paid for it. They are merely trying to press users to pay for what they have, and are repossessing just like everyone else does. I know that if I was running a webhosting firm, and you didn't pay me for a year, and ran up a huge debt, that I'd take off your website and sue you for the losses. This is a relatively minor action on their part by means of what they legally COULD do, they're actually being fairly civil about this, despite the flack that they will surely take in the threads of this article.
Probably RedHat, with a copy of X11 and Netscape. I assume that it will cut most of the administrative and office utilities, and keep only the media ones that are used as internet plug ins. If they are smart, they will keep the IRC software in there, and the FTP software, which they probably will leave both the console and gui versions of. RPM will obviously be the package manager, and probably there will be systems to make web upgrading more "userfriendly" as it were. Gone will be gimp and such utilities, it will be stripped to GUI and internet junk, all of which can fit on a fairly small drive, and with identical images, fairly simply administered. The one interesting factor will be the security model that they implement. I am sure that they want to enable the user to install upgrades, but will they circumvent this to increase security?
While I am sure that the Dotstation will be a cool appliance that I will be drooling all over. I am not sure that it will be my favored alternative. Many of intel's products are a little bit steep on the price margin if you know what I'm saying. As the internet appliance market is really aimed more towards people who don't want to buy/use computers, I think that this will be a bit out of the price range of what they really want. However, I think that it will do well simply since Intel is marketting it, and when they really care about a product, they sell the hell out of it.
It could be, but it isn't. Changes in implementation will be necessary for anybody who wants to have a shred of privacy if this thing becomes incorporated. It may have started as a good idea that got mutated into a way to gather data without telling the user that you are gathering it, but it sounds more like something that was thought of as a way to gather data, that can be disguised as something good (and it's not a very good costume at that).
Well, that's sort of the consequence of having many developers, redundancy. You could always have someone scrape the fat off. Of course, you could also just have someone say, "Hey, this is the newest shit, use this" in the install files.

I can hear the lamers asking me to help them with their exploits now.
Where would you put Unix System V?

BSD is not run on the Linux kernel, they don't have Linus... Those moderating this, please read the parent...
This sort of shows their support for squatters, which, while it seemed like a good idea a few years ago, is kind of a slimy way to make a quick buck.
