A lot of people use software such as clicking agent to scam advertisers. I have discovered many attempts of people (mostly from chinese IP blocks) trying to proxy through Apache mod_proxy instances to connect to CGI proxies which create thousands of bogus ad impressions per hour. I won't advertise online unless they can find a way to cut this junk out.
The reason to buy longhorn would be to have the ability to watch the DRM-protected content you just bought online. You know, the stuff that will only play on a Longhorn+DRM Monitor system.
My car has an MP3 player. You burn MP3s to a data CD and pop it in and it plays. iTunes won't let you convert their crap to MP3 because of DRM. The user must circumvent the DRM to be allowed to use his legally purchased music in a legal way. Therefore, Apple DRM is CRAP. Good DRM should not get in the way of legal use.
Building a LCD projector is a bit like building an old-style bicycle with the one huge wheel and no gear/chain system. There is better technology now, called DLP. There is no reason to mess with LCD anymore.
Your prediction assumes all seagulls are rational. This is not true. Of course, it is highly unlikely one of the few irrational gulls would be flying around the shuttle at that time... but you can't just assume it.
If a manager has reason to suspect an employee is doing something bad, they come to us to get them web browsing logs. And if it is something really bad, we may even bug that person's machine. I have no ethical problem in doiong this. It is not abused.
However, when we are looking for hacks internally, we sometimes find that a manager has going over our heads and abused his power by installing monitoring software on one of his subordinate's machines. In such cases we get the MANAGER FIRED.
So your comment that it *will* be abused may not be so informed. At my company, the people who do the monitoring are also the people who actively protect employees' privacy from being abused.
It is slashdotted, but I think we can assume the caps are in series or not connected to eachother. A large series of caps isn't going to be dangerous. Neither are individual ones.
A large number of caps in parallel might be bad if someone intentionally charged them, but I can't see how that could happen accidentally.
I only hear jokes like that from other scientists, engineers, and college students in that field. Your gripe about the misunderstandings subscientists make is a good one, but doesn't apply to this joke.
Just last night I saw the episode of TNG where a Klingon was stealing Star Fleet records and encoding them into amino acids, which are injected into the blood stream to smuggle data off the ship. They thought it was amazing that the human body was used as the conduit of information. If only the Klingons had this technology, perhaps they would not have been caught.
Well, you should be putting your money in the US stock market and not in India govt. bonds if you want real returns. And whether you live in India or the US, you can buy either type of investment.
It is interesting that Indian expenses are so much lower. But to really compare how relatively wealthy you are, you need to measure how much money you have left over in the bank every month compared to the guy in the other country.
Economic comparison is not about "wants." It is about power. Living in India gives you lower expenses, sure. But your real measure of power is how much money is in the bank at the end of the month after all your expenses are paid. That has nothing to do with where you live. I think you are confusing contentedness with financial success. The man with more money in the bank has the power to do more things after his expenses are met.
Um, what???? The speculation assumed both people lived on 80% of their salary. Are you trying to say that in India someone can live on 20% of his salary? And why on earth would India be able to make higher returns than Tokyo? It's a global financials market, dude.
Um... you are very wrong. The poster said "By any measure of financial success." Whether someone can afford a yacht or not is difinitely a measure of financial success. To say two salaries are equal once you factor in the cost of living assumes both people spend 100% of their salaries in the local economy. Only an idiot would do that. Unless you are comparing 2 idiots, more money really is more money.
Not really. If you can each live on 80% of your salaries and you invest the other 20% each year, the Tokyo guy would retire a multimillionaire while the India guy won't have nearly so much. Mr. Tokyo could cruise around the world in a yacht or something while Mr. India could never afford to travel the world.
Just because client/server is all the rage right now does not mean it always will be. Using NAT to do the job of a firewall cripples your network so that it is ONLY useful to client/server type apps, and it adds a completely redundant layer of security to your network. There should be multiple layers to security. But doing the same thing twice while crippling your network is redundant and wasteful, and will cause you lots of trouble in the future when your users need to do use the Next Big Thing, which will almost certainly not be client/server.
Right now, you may not have much of a choice but to do it this way. But you should be pushing for ip6 so that NAT and PAT can die quick deaths.
You are using NAT where you should be using a firewall. You want to restrict which addresses can get to which other addresses? In an awkward and stupid way, NAT can do that for you. But everything would be much simpler and more flexible if everybody had publicly routable addresses, and access were restricted at a firewall. NAT is a nasty hack, not a security tool.

That's quaint, old man. You probably run Debian, too. Get with the times.

This is offtopic fearmongering. It isn't even coherent. The start of the rant doesn't relate to the rest of it.
Holy crap... I've never seen that option before.

I would work this position for free for one year. Afterward I would have a resume worth much more than 1 year's salary of Bank of America's CSO.

Huh? Why wouldn't "anything with a center of mass in the center of the LP" be usable space?
"(not cheap, but thrifty)"
That's what I tell my dates. They don't buy it. Maybe I should date Amish chicks?
Well, both sex and violence can kill you.
Teenagers are more likely to have sex that cause violence.
Therefore, sex is repressed more than violence.
It isn't completely absurd... but the system could certainly use some adjusting.
I work in an information security department.

This gets better every time it is posted.
But seriously, anyone who would actually wear this stuff has enough old parts lying around to make his own SCSI cable, RAM-encrusted thong.

Thanks! But I posted this too late for anybody else to read. I guess I'll just have to wait for the dup, cause I think it is an important point.
