Meh. I'm not sure I'd want to be hired by a company that can't figure it out anyway. To me, it tells me a lot about what life would be like "on the inside".
I agree with this guy - for me, using those huge cumbersome IDEs only slows me down. I find them inefficient. I always feel I can go at optimum speed when I'm using the terminal.
Sometimes, in a highly-sensitive location, stealing the laptop would be a brash move that would result in the victim being aware of the theft and thereby closing down the window of opportunity the attacker had to infiltrate their target or network.
Not all reasons for hacking is to look at their goat pr0n collection. Sometimes they do actually want to be more subtle for varied reasons.
I would suggest that if you were in a high-sensitivity location you shouldn't have this software at all. Because, all it would take is for someone to keep your desktop from locking when you walk away by spoofing your bluetooth connection.
I think he should overcome this problem by using the touchpad as a virtual keyboard when both of those side buttons are simultaneously pressed. And then use the same combination to switch the touchpad back.
In extreme cases, they are so locked in this mindset that they point-blank refuse to try anything else.
Yeah, I've had this kind of thing happen to me. One of the staff where I work thought I was installing hax on his computer (it was OpenOffice) because it was free. They were so adamant they were right that they went out and spent A$400 on a new copy of MS Office. This person uses Word to write two paragraph advertisements for houses - no formatting (Administration does that). Hey, he could have used Notepad for that.
Crap it annoys me. The only solace I get is that I can laugh in their face (behind their back, of course) at their stupidity.
So as to avoid any confusion, and to make sure Mark doesn't kill you in your sleep, lets just remember that Canonical is a for-profit company. He's been working very hard since Canonical's inception to make it profitable.
As far as can be ascertained, the company still hasn't broken even yet.
That point makes for an interesting discussion, Mark went big with Thawte in just four years, but this time around with Canonical it is proving much harder. I am interested to see what his staying power is like, and whether or not he still has interest in his current venture. Its been a hard slog.
Whatever you do, do not scratch out your eyeballs. While it at first seems logical after watching the video, you will forever be stuck with the images in the inky blackness of your mind. At least your eyes can distort the pain by processing other data!
The only reason that I was citing increased risk is that the crystal bonds are very weak so that it can be easily 'melted' at low temperatures.
I've dropped many a cellphone without data loss or breakage, I was just wondering if there was an increased risk with the particular workings of this technology.
But seriously, what are Microsoft getting at? This is looking more and more like a cult thing than ever. Inviting friends over to preach to them about the virtues of Windows 7 so the unrepentant soul might offer sacrifices and money to the Microsoft god? I found the advert really eerie and unsettling...
I couldn't get the word 'scientology' out of my head when watching this... The church of Microsoftology - has a nice ring to it. Doctrines include Windowsology (overarching doctrine which includes many sub-doctrines and principals including DOSomatics, BSODology and Restartology) amongst many others.
I wonder how long they'd last. Apparently the crystal bond is very weak. I wouldn't want to lose my data because I dropped my cellphone. Perhaps I'm being paranoid?
OK, I'm having a bit of a chuckle here, but are you alluding that the Linux kernel devs are 'incompetent morons'? Did you also just say that Linux servers are 'shoddy' and 'insecure'?
I can understand from a technical point of view how a kernel could be much better designed, but your attitude is nothing short of arrogant, misguided and naive. When constructing arguments, stop venting frustration at those you perceive to be incompetent and instead speak politely with plain facts. AKA, grow up.
Perhaps a kind a middle ground between the microkernel and the macrokernel people could be found if a microkernel was designed to be extensible. Its core could be very robust and stable and therefore-seldom-modified. Each extension could become that way, one at a time....
Anyone remember those articles on the new Windows Server Kernel? I remember everyone thinking it would be 'da bomb'. It was tiny, lightweight and functionality was added with extensions. Hmm, I wonder what happened with that.
I've recently been looking into building my own kernel - not to revolutionise the world, but to better understand the design principals. I've been very impressed with the capabilities and design of Plan 9.
I always have a chuckle when people say that. When using the grey cells between your ears, you should quickly realise that those statistics are skewed, misleading and utterly useless.
Here's why: Microsoft literally pushed Vista onto manufacturers, cutting deals to get it sold on everything - how can you possibly infer that the market was falling over each other for Vista? They weren't. Many customers responded with utter disgust regarding the new OS. More so than any previous release of their OS in the past - even rivalling Win ME. So many of these 'sales' actually come with Windows XP installed instead. Large corporations and even some of Microsoft's closest allies refused to move to the new system.

Shhhhhhh, let him work it out himself. I want to see how long it takes....

Sadly, your statement rings true in this case.
Fine then. I'll take 7. Its at the other end of the spectrum though.

You're fourteen and you've got a six digit account number?

no, i won't say that...

I think those are distributed by the costumer that does all the policeman stuff. They're always short on whistles.

Uh, Symbian is open source.
Nope, its not just you. You've been infected.

I like your business. Where can I subscribe to your newsletter?
I rest my case.

I would say that the truth is getting easier to access, not to find.
