Any coincidence that the unintelligible paper submitted from CHINA got accepted? Is the West so culturally biased against itself that it throws out good judgement?
There should be a tax on credit transactions. Credit transactions are based on the assumption that if the joker doesn't pay you, you can take him to court. At this point, the gubmint steps in and gives you your cash. If 2 individuals exchange goods or cash for goods, there is no need for any government intervention, and thus no justification for taxing it.
So earlier, browsers happily accept a forged cert, and now Quicken bails on "double secret probation" certs issued by some CAs? Methinks there's a fundamental problem here...
It created a whole breed of IT "professionals", people who creep out of the woodwork and latch onto the latest buzzword-compliant, (typically) Government-sponsored/mandated thing, and ride it until the next one comes along.
Linux can already deal with scheduling tasks to processors where the necessary resources are "close". It may not be obvious to the likes of PC Magazine, but its trivially obvious that even multithreaded programs running on a non-location aware kernel are going to take a hit. This is a kernel problem, not an application library problem.
Unions worked so well for factories and the car industry, why not extend them to a completely different TYPE of work, 60 years later in a completely different economic landscape? DUH.
I have a Linksys NSLU2 (running Debian Lenny) and it maxes out at about 4 MB/sec, the dinky amount of RAM means almost no FS or other buffering is possible, and the limp CPU (266 MHz) just can't push the IO fast enough. A barebones PC is probably $200 + drives, slap OpenFiler or a real distro on it, and share out 1 big/share filesystem via Samba.
Where can I get a phone? You know, something that lets me talk to anyone, anywhere? Not a camera, not a pda, not a music player, not a videogame, but a phone. Anyone?
Years of stealthy replacement of educators, first at the college level, then the high school level have beaten the very idea out of people. Now that THOSE people are having kids, there's nobody who really remembers individual genius as something normal, and so the anti-reason, anti-individual Left has almost won. Don't stick out, fit in. Don't complain, accept. Don't succeed if others fail. Don't win if someone loses. Don't excel if someone falls behind. Don't live for yourself, live for others. When nobody will stick up for the 5 year old kid who instinctively knows that this is crap, then that kid is pretty much doomed.
So this went to what, a few hundred people, who at least were vaguely connected to the issue, and they simply deleted it? Where's the impact here, vs. 10,000,000 p3n15 emails with links to malware sites?

If a CA doesn't properly validate who you are and cuts you a cert for anyone else, its a problem with CA, not the underlying codebase(s).

Isn't government interference in everyday life a wonderful thing?
Nobody asked him about his crime-fighting robotic exoskeleton, like the one worn by Stephen Hawking?
It's ok to love your computer.... but its not ok to LOVE your computer.
Dude, unplug, go outside, read a book, do something different for a while.
So she was a bitch and an MS shill, and now she's simply misunderstood and the guy is a fanboi?
WTF happened in the meantime?
Unless you're running on REALLY obscure hardware, you are just trolling.
How is executing PDP binaries on OSX related to filesystems?
We can't just keep spending and spending on bridges, and books for our little snowflakes, and police pensions, and welfare?
Oh the humanity!

Unions = FAIL.

Are you saying its easier on kids who stick out now?

And you're an aeronautical engineer, and thus qualified to make that determination? Oh wait...
But did you actually produce anything?
These are creative people, and will resist things like status reports and hard work schedules.
As in, its "virtually" as good as a Mac.
It's "virtually" better than XP.
It's "virtually" more secure.

Ha Ha! You have a small country !!1!
Haircuts? A chicken in every pot? Forty acres for every father? Since you're already giving the country away, why stop there?
