Trying to get music shipping into Canada will cost you more then a house, so like I said the music store should carry it. or iTunes store should carry it.
When the music store wants to carry the bands I listen to and when the iTunes store and other like stores want to carry the Music I like I'll stop downloading.
I wonder why it's so serious, I really could care less if my librarian wants to use what I've checked out to suggest new books or even target advertising. Exactly like you say, I've got nothing to hide so use it.
I'll generalize to Ontario Canada, I know I've seen the list of rented books dump on the screen when my library card got scanned. It's doesn't bother me because I'm not really giving up any right by having my librarian see what I've been reading.
ECC Memory doesn't make a test machine, There is absolutely no benefit to buying expensive memory that can handle error coding for a machine to play around with. Your professional system is either a joke or waste of a system. Being you seem to think you need ECC memory shows you have either no experience or no practical knowledge and if you work in the field please for the love of god don't release a product.
By scanning my library card a program will retrieve all the books I've checked out from a server. They don't tell me where the server is and if I can get access to it to monitor how my information is being treated. The library has a ton of advertisements in it for books and newspapers and more. I'm really confused what her point is, all the kindle has done is shrunken down the library into a hand held model, everything this library is complaining about happens in the library system. I think she's just worried of losing a job because a little embedded system can do her job more effectively.
Wrong, the Xeon is entirely meant for server side computing which is not relevant to desktop computing. Comparing the i5 and i7 series to the Xeon's is like comparing a 18 wheeler to a sports car. Both are meant for different tasks.
Oh I agree cost does sound to be something to think of, but he did ask what we have for setups:-), On a completely pointless rating my system is a 7.6 on Windows Experience.

This is both my desktop and test system, I just do what I want on it and when I want on it. It runs Gentoo Linux with several cross environments installed for embedded development. I don't see the point on keeping a second computer for tinkering with when you can do all of that on a good desktop computer.

Ubuntu Turns 7

Agreed! All in All I'm very happy with good old Gentoo and I'm glad that Apple and Windows users are coming over to Linux, not matter how they have to do it.
Ubuntu was a great Linux system, now it's more of a bulky slow running system. I switched from Gentoo to Ubuntu on about the 6.00 release and from the 10.00 release on I switched back to Gentoo. Before release 10, Ubuntu was a nicely trimmed and clean look system, after release 10 they've played with the desktop to much and taken a polished system into a rather ugly bloated system.
This is right on par with bringing Linux to the user base of Windows, Windows user don't want a clean cut and slim experience, they want it to look overly cluttered and a right mess for the eyes. I agree in the last 7 years Ubuntu has really opened up Linux to the user and has opened the other distributions to Linux users.
For what Ubuntu has managed to do for Linux, it is an amazing feat.
It's pretty easy to figure out if something is hardcore porn or softcore. It's simple to pick out hard language etc... If parents are so concerned about there kids, they should grow up and realize it's time kids get a crash course in the Internet. If my 6 year old son see's a nice set of juice tits and asks what they are I'll respond with "Fucking TITS!!!:-)" . Kids are far to protected with what there parents will and will not let them see and do, if you want to train the kids to see content as inappropriate they have to see the content in the first place.
No Joke, set up an after hours program or maybe a during the day program to have teams of students use the cameras to do image capture and detection. Then have the kids build platform and put on a robot soccer match, this was something that happened at my college a few year ago, it was fun.
The unity look was one of the big reason I went back to Gentoo. The Ubuntu desktop looks like something meant for a 5 year old, not a serious computer user. Apart from that the constant updates and increased features no one needs, Ubuntu is now the Windows of the Linux world, the problem is I think most people want a Linux of the Linux world and that is no longer Ubuntu.
In the earlier 7.0 days and 6.0 days Ubuntu was the best distribution on the market but it's now turned into a big , bulky and down right horrible distribution for any serious user..
This is actually a bigger deal then the royal wedding, the death of monarch's and probably the death of the pope. This better be ran on every news station for the next week non stop. Including a 41 terminal segmentation fault at the funeral.
I want to stress that I'm not in the industry as a developer but I do work on coop doing some code development. Where I work on coop we use Perforce as the SCM tool of choice and it is horrible.
Outlining some of the problems I've had with Perforce:
1) All the tools to work with Perforce are sloppy and bulky, The GUI is horrible and does not have a usable work flow
2) Perforce is known to crash, I've personally seen the Depo get so messed up that the company I do coop for had to call Perforce and ask what to do
3) Perforce makes it hard to get the files uploaded and then has in the past completely prevented me from checking them out
4) Perforce doesn't allow you to change a files name when it's checked out, It should keep track of Inodes not file names
5) Perforce has horrible cross platform support, unlike GIT
6) Perforce has poor workspace support, If you mess around at all it will get more lost then a baby in a room of topless women
7) Perforce loves to make more then 1 workspace per user and not tell you
8) Perforce loves to lock up preventing you from getting access to your files
9) Perforce is extremely slow, it crawl in comparison to GIT
10) Perforce doesn't provide any actual customer help
I've had these same problems at school, where we also run Perforce in our program. When it comes to SCM there is one product that I promise is more trouble then it's worth and that is Perforce. I haven't made up a single point above, I have had every problem I mentioned and coming from a closed source software I should of had been nothing but a stellar experience.
If perforce wants to create a usable product they need to get rid of the GUI entirely, They do have a CLI but it's not the greatest. They need to create power shell tools to work it. They need to allow you to actually use the workspace and not manage it for you exclusively and they need to stop the freezing and crashing that plagues the software. .
Luckily there is a GIT which does fix all the problems i've had with Perforce and has left me with a wonderful solution to SCM. I even use GIT at school now above Perforce because it leaves me with a usable product that can hold up.
When you consider the fact that most of Rim's internal tools don't scale well and there built off broken technology it was bound to hit the outside world. Rim's general outlook is have it crash first and blame the coops later. Very little of there info-structure is designed to handle loading and expansion. I'm surprised it took this long to happen.
I file emails automatically so when certain people email me I can find there emails faster and keep there requests separate so I don't confuse them. The project managers get there own folders, my boss and his boss have there own. It just makes the entire process much easier to find / respond and keep sorted everyone email.
I love libre office, it's the only office suite I use. What doesn't make any sense to me is that schools and work places don't switch over. Libre office can do every major action MS Office can do and it's free. This is another clear case where the open source world has produced far better software then the closest source world, so far we have Linux as the best all around OS and now Libre Office as the best Office Suite.
So there just starting to prototype there designs? Isn't this how every single project is started, you use prototyping boards to test the software, then once it's good to go you actually produce the real thing.

I love libre office, it's the only office suite I use. What doesn't make any sense to me is that schools and work places don't switch over.

Users who can't find the any key.
So there just starting to prototype there designs? Isn't this how every single project is started, you use prototyping boards to test the software, then once it's good to go you actually produce the real thing.
Good code is able to be lifted from one system and with very light changes run on another. .Net takes that concept and throws it out the window.
