Indeed they did, and 2 days (maybe 1?) later this security hole was announced. It received national coverage on all the major news players and the implicaitons of security.
I, personally, am rather angry that my fucking tax money is being spent by the DoHS and all they have come up with is a dependency on an insecure OS and a stupid colour coded system that NO ONE understands!
Not exactly. I believe prime time, the networks are all broadcast in HDTV, and by definition, that's not analog. Also, here, HBO is channel 32 and that's digital along with a bunch of other channels (ESPN, etc). I have satellite right now because TWC doesn't recognize my building as existing (it's almost 1 year old) and the quality is awesome, so I expect TWC is the same.
on a side note, because TWC sucks, I also don't have internet at home (i just moved into a sublet) and am in serious withdrawal...
well, after 2 posts to my parent post, clearly you're the opposite of me;) Yes, I'm a MySQL fan. BTW, postgresql is also good. They both have their advantages and such. You are more than welcome to use single-quote in MySQL. I don't know about using double-quotes for object names (if it works) since I haven't tried using the newer version of MySQL, but I do know that the 4.x branch has vast improvements over the 3.x branch. It supports transactions, subqueries and all that wonderful stuff.
MySQL has been bashed a lot, but that's probably because people stopped using it in favor of a pirated version of oracle or sql server or whatever (postgresql), but it has made quite a few large improvements in the recent months/years and I bet most of the MySQL bashers could give it another shot and then not complain anymore.
It's mostly complient to 92, and working towards 99. Check here for it's current "Bugs" status.
The only noted "bug" in it's SQL-92 complience is that whitespace gets stripped out at the end of VARCHAR types. Though a bug, there are other databases that do this as well. MySQL is working on becoming SQL-99 complient and have already started to look at (hypothetically) the changes that are to be made for SQL-2003 compliance.
From the BBC article: "Mr Baumgartner had prepared for three years for this flight, with rigorous training including strapping himself on to the top of a speeding Porsche."
Are we sure this isn't a Darwin Award? That usually involves death. So if he died doing this, then yes, it would qualify. Though I think he's generally been prepared and done stupid things as opposed to most of the winners who are just stupid and didn't need to prepare to do something stupid:-P
FYI: I work on Wall Street, and I know what I'm talking about.
At the end I took a jab at Bush, and your response was stupid. I said nothing about what Bush had done in the past. Currently he was the only one (and he asked for the money) to support this program, therefore Bush *IS* the one messin with Wall Street.
And the use of the Bible-belt has NOTHING to do with religeon, its the term for the region of the US. He would not get votes! That was my point.
Now that I've answered your completely ridiculous response, go back to work and stop pretending to know more than everyone else. At least I can claim what I've said, try posting with a name.
What about the PlayStation2-Linux project? I believe that is with the help of Sony.
They are a smart company and will give the consumers what they want. The Clie is on the Palm OS, so in theory there shouldn't be any problems. If there are, then clearly there is something wrong with the MP3 player or with Clie breaking some Palm OS licence.
Why wouldn't Sony want to use their own MiniDISC? It is theirs and they want to keep the money within the company. Sounds fair enough to me. They're there to make money.
This is *not* a good idea. Why? Because this kind of market is open to manipulation more than any other market. You can't prevent "insider trading." Who would stop individuals connected with terrorists from buying futures on the next suicide bomber? This idea simply gives them very easy access to money. This is the stupidest idea (and most disturbing) I've ever heard. Though the idea of buying future contracts on the date that Saddam will be ousted was funny when I first heard it, it's the same thing. It's not right, and is easy to manipulate.
Leave finance to the finance people. Bush should not mess with Wall Street, he's already given everyone down there a headache and no one needs this. Ha, is he expecting to be re-elected after this? I'm sure the Bible-belt approves of this idea...
This is Futures trading. And just like most other non-equity based trading (Bonds, Convertibles, Options) you are simply buying a contract or some sort, not the actual equity (stock), so yes, this is an "investment" but then again, the entire market is gambling really, isn't it?
But of course the implications of something like this are just insane. Because someone put 1MM into a WMD going off in Isreal doesn't mean someone is going to do it. Someone will invest 1MM into this because they are going to do it themselves in the future. Market manipulation. Just like they did pre-9/11.
OK. I've read through what people have been writing and well, the moderators just like to +1 people that can write intelligently. That's the bottom line. I don't think most of the people that refute his idea know what they are talking about.
Several points. You can IPO at whatever the fuck price you want to. Don't give me that, oh, you can't do that because of..., or because of.... Your IPO (Initial Public Offering) is determing by YOU!
Robert's idea is simply brilliant. To put it simply. I work in the world where money matters, and law matters, and his idea is awesome. I see nothing wrong with it. But he is also correct with the fact that this is a small loophole which can be fixed by a quick lobby to Congress. Someone that works for the RIAA (read: intern) is reading this article, and tomorrow they will be reporting this to their supervisor and ni about 2 months this "law" will be lobbied.
I'm sorry to all the people that simply just say that this article is a bunch of horse-shit. This is one of the most comprehensive and simple (to-the-point) articles I've read recently. He's got everything covered (basics) and it is enough for "just about" anyone here to get it started. Just takes a little know how and in order to get it done before the "law" takes hold, just a few connections. I'm sure Robert (Cringley) could get you started...for a small fee of shared;).
Anyway, the point of this post was to say that all the people that got +5 for saying that this isn't possible. Wake up! Read something relevant. No, Wall Street Journal does NOT count. This is reality, and this is absolutely brilliant. This should go side-by-side with his "I use Linux to play DVD's" article.
So, which Labor union or lobbiest group will let something like this happen? Hey, if I can't eat peanuts in the airplanes, then I'll be damn sure that there won't be a swarm of robots taking over jobs.
Sure, some will. Fast food restaurants, perhaps, but not entirely. What? You want robots to make real-world decisions? You want humans to lose power of the world. Gimme a break. Why in the world would humans let another creature make wordly important decisions.
1. The top of the Empire State Building. It's pretty cool up there. Especially at sunset or at night. Though for this you want to get your tickets very early (like in the morning when they open) because the wait to buy the tickets is rather long, as is the line to take the elevators.
2. Bar Code at Times Square is a gaming bar (like Dave N' Buster's)
3. Ground Zero. Since you're here.
4. Union Square Park (that's where the above B&N is), Washington Square Park (where NYU is) and Central Park (goldmine of NYC). The first 2 are 20 blocks from each other, 1 mile, walkable distance by NYC standards. Central Park is at 60th st. Go there during daytime in the summer or the weekend.
5. Guggenheim (sp) wasn't mentioned above.
6. Bronx Zoo. It's not just any other zoo.
7. Botanical Gardens - if you're into that.
8. There is a Libery Science Center (close by in NJ) type thing (pretty cool) in Queens, but I forget the name, so perhaps someone else can list it.
9. Baseball game - Yankees or Mets, but Yankee stadium is a little nicer and has more to see. Go early enough so you can check out Monument Park.
10. Coney Island - get yourself a Nathan's hotdog from there and go on the Cyclone (wodden roller coaster)
11. Make sure you take the subways:)
I'd say don't go to Statue of Liberty, you can't even go up and it's a long line and wait. Seeing it from Battery Park City is nice enough really. Just my suggesstion.

Point 1: Flowers. Answer: Instead of typing "tulips" when you really want gardening tips, try "tulips tips" and you will get what you want.
Point2: Apple. Answer: Instead of typing "apple" which is a very common word and product and name, try typing what you actually want, "Apple Computer."
Point 3: If you're looking for a book. Try a library. That is where people put books. That is how people make money on books.
Now, given that your points are complete stupid, I feel as if your article was meant towards a 2 year old that doesn't know the differece between "apple" and "aldkfja." That's because they can't type or read yet.
So, Google is brilliant if you *actually* supply it with what you are looking for. I guarantee you that when I want information about a company which has the same name as a common fruit, I will be a little more specific.
This was the most useless article I've wasted my time reading.
The release notes list package gcc32 (which is version 3.2.x). The Package List list gcc and gcc32 as packages. gcc is listed with version 3.3 and gcc32 as 3.2.3, so I can only assume that you can have both. Probably configure which on using gcc-config, though that doesn't look like it is listed in the package list.
How would it cut sales? AOL never bundled Netscape with it's AOL software. So, then how could it cut sales? Perhaps it cut into profits because of the money AOL spent on Netscape and Mozilla, but it never cut in on the sales.
Opera and Mozilla Firebird are both web-browsers with different perks. They are both VERY complient and VERY fast and VERY small.
The real difference lies in the ads that keep Opera alive, IMO. I'm sure the zealots of Opera will point out the other differences, but I don't know them, nor care becaus ads suck.
Firebird has a lovely white-list pop-up blocker (meaning all pop-ups are blocked and you can white list the sites that are allowed to have pop-ups), and it also has the ability to add extensions easily. I use AdBlocker which removes the HTML code that matches a basic regex with wildcards from the code, therefore removing flash, images, whatever from the HTML once it has loaded. I like it.
Someone more familiar with Opera can state it's benefits.
2MM will last 10 coders for 4 years at an income of 50,000$ each. that's not too bad for working on an Open Source project at your own time and will. Plus, they don't have to live in a place like New York City where expenses are high. I don't know where any of them live, but 50K is a good amount of income.
Plus, they have 4 years to get more resources. Sun, IBM and other organizations also contribute time/money to the Mozilla Project, therefore, they will have more than 2MM in 4 years in their bank account. Of and don't forget the interest:)
The reason that AOL uses IE is to that MS will have AOL pre-packaged on the computers with a nifty shortcut link to install the software. This way a user doesn't have to download the software online, or worry about how they are going to get online. Most users are still using a modem, and have no way to get online unless they first contact an ISP. This way, AOL is already on the computer, and they don't have to call anyone. It's just there. That is why they use IE. And MS wants them to use it, well, because they are the largest ISP and they all use IE.
AOL will stop using IE when Windows starts to lose it's market share (by a LOT)
Slashdot Mirror
NYC (New York City) has been in Orange since the inception of this colour coded system.
what is orange again? why can't they just say level 4 of 5 or something?
Indeed they did, and 2 days (maybe 1?) later this security hole was announced. It received national coverage on all the major news players and the implicaitons of security.
I, personally, am rather angry that my fucking tax money is being spent by the DoHS and all they have come up with is a dependency on an insecure OS and a stupid colour coded system that NO ONE understands!
Not exactly. I believe prime time, the networks are all broadcast in HDTV, and by definition, that's not analog. Also, here, HBO is channel 32 and that's digital along with a bunch of other channels (ESPN, etc). I have satellite right now because TWC doesn't recognize my building as existing (it's almost 1 year old) and the quality is awesome, so I expect TWC is the same.
on a side note, because TWC sucks, I also don't have internet at home (i just moved into a sublet) and am in serious withdrawal...
Right, but all the kids at the Bar Mitzvah will be behind the cameras clicking away because someone has to do that, right?
:-P
So you'll just end up with a nice 3-second clip of a 13 yr old kid reading from a book
