The same way you confuse the two MJ's, Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson.... Oh, and before you ask, no, I don't know HOW that happens, but I've seen it happen.
What you've described would be completely unmeasurable - because the only way you can properly measure exploits is when they are successful. There is no way to distinguish between failing to exploit Linux and not attempting an exploit it at all.
Apple wanted to legitimize the app store as a content delivery model for genuine businesses, not just some guy that knows how to put sexy images into an iphone app.
Nah, you're entitled to your opinion. I'll agree that OSS isn't what most people herald it to be, its just software. Unless you plan on Forking it or adding onto it yourself, the open source part of it makes no difference in how it really operates. The OS community hasn't been any better or worse for customer support, in my experience.
I have tried using Blender for 3D modelling, after using some Autodesk products.
I like the price, but I can't actually do anything that I want to do with it, and its not a matter of learning the product, I've done that. It's that certain functionality isn't built in, and the people who have tried to add it on have gotten frustrated and left that project.
Keep in mind that Iran is nothing like the United States.
To give a little comparative analysis, I did a Google Maps of Tehran, Capital of Iran, and the first US City I saw, Denver Colorado, and pulled up "Coffee Shop".
Something thats bothering me is that I can't seem to find any notion that AT&T fixed the flaw.
Now I'm willing to take their word that the guy didn't put forth much effort trying to contact them - but it seems like this court case has made it easier for them to brush the issue under the rug rather than fix.
It's not as true with Industry as it is in IT. Exceptional Industry activity shows a direct increased productivity. Either more stuff gets produced, or waste is minimized, etc etc.
Exceptional IT work basically means you are as un-noticable as possible. Nothing ever goes wrong, things never seem slow. Ideally you wouldn't even have to see them, they could probably fix your problem remotely in minutes.
There are far more tangible stuff in Industry that you can see instead of IT. When IT does well, everyone else's productivity goes up. IT is only an expense, unless you are a software company IT doesn't make you any money. Your industry professionals do.
Other than money, can anyone cite an upside to working in IT?
Holy cow, did you even read TFA? The upside to working in IT is that you get to sell your own company pirated software, running a giant porn server from the company network, and stealing customer credit card numbers! Why WOULDN'T you work in IT?
I first learned about HDR from Valve, during one of the developer commentaries on one game or another... (Lost coast maybe? Anyways) They were trying to explain how Bloom is done in video games, and certain other effects like how walking out of a dark tunnel to bright light will affect your vision for a tiny bit, as your eyes need to adjust to the new lighting conditions.
Thats when I started looking it up and yeah, basically the idea is that you take one shot that is under exposed (dark), one shot that is over exposed (light) and one that is properly exposed, and as many more in between as you want. Then you feed it all into a bit of software which takes the richest colours and lighting conditions from each photo and imposes them into one single image, so the dark corners remain dark and the bright lights remain bright and the vivid colours are still vivid. Its quite cool stuff.
I'm a little curious as to how this is working, is it managing to encode the HDR real time into it's range compressed and tone mapped beauty at least 24 frames per second, or does it merely record the 3 or more images simultaneously and then take a few minutes afterwards to do the encoding? The first I think would be more impressive, but not really necessary.
I don't know what its like anywhere else, but here in my hometown, the IT Development jobs are sorted into 3 categories.
C++/C#/VB.NET/Java/HTML/CSS/SQL jobs, who get paid anywhere from 30k to 80k depending on years experience, broad knowledge, seniority, works well with others, etc etc.
Then you get the hip new stuff, guys who are fresh out of College and know those relatively obscure verbose languages. I can't even think of any right now... There aren't many jobs for them, but if they can land it they get paid a little bit more, like a 40k-100k bracket.
Then you get these dinosaur languages, stuff they talk about in College as a history lesson, but you never see any code. I mean COBOL, FORTRAN, or working with ColdFusion... There aren't many developers around who still know it so they get paid in the 120-150k range. Its absolutely nuts.
Honestly, I think people should be paid according to their actual worth. It doesn't matter if you've been with the company 10 years, if they've decided to jump to a new language or upgrade and you can't keep up, you shouldn't keep your salary expectations. If you aren't worth as much as the new guy, you don't get paid as much as the new guy, simple as that. Yes its a fast changing industry and yes you gotta keep your skills up to date - if you don't like it...
Go get one of those high paying dinosaur jobs where you can sit on your antique skills for years making more than anyone else.

Why even bother waiting for the data?

What makes you think they haven't?

Hey, I work in VB too, but only because I have to, not by choice.
No, that's a full on syntax error, I can't implicitly convert between those two.
Yeah, but even a mechanic working on a Yugo sounds more legit than a programmer in VB.
Apple wanted to legitimize the app store as a content delivery model for genuine businesses, not just some guy that knows how to put sexy images into an iphone app.
To the end user: Is there a difference?
Or a mechanic's mechanic working on a lawnmower.
This is fun. We should do this more often.
but for people making it one of top 10 sites on global market and number 1 in markets like Japan, it does have a value.
Well, yeah, if you value it based soley on visitors, and not content.
They've got a special article up right now on the latest Racy dress worn by Venus Williams.
Now I've bolstered their network activity by sending half of /. their way.
Off-Topic?
You couldn't even correctly mod me Troll?
So 1000000 users can't view Yahoo's Web server...
And nothing of value was lost.

It's not just a drive around the corner in Iran.

Herpaderp! I missed the joke!
Did he possibly mean that in the context of how Americans would make fun of Russians for something the Americans do themselves?
No good. Mantracker is obviously an Apple Fanboy, this contest is clearly stacked in his favour.
I'll raise my hand but only slightly over my shoulder as I don't know EXACTLY what they mean by platform process knowledge, that seems too generic.
But just about everything else I've either gotten experience with or touched base somewhere.
Hey, no where in my contract with the company did I sign "I will not set up a porn server on the network".
