At a USA aerospace company that has government contracts you have to keep track of your time in six minute increments. I understand why, but damn is it annoying.
China has a huge amount of their own infrastructure, so this isn't really surprising. Unlike U.S., China likes to do everything themselves. This also means you're not dependent on other countries like the U.S. is. What you don't understand is that China thinks long term, and everything they've done will grant them the leading country status some day, probably even within 10-15 years, especially when considering how much U.S. and EU are struggling now after thinking only short term financial gains.
China may like to do everything themselves, they still are extremely dependent upon the West's desire for goods made in China. Will China's middle class grow to the point that China will no longer need USA or Europe to buy their stuff in 10-15 years? I doubt it.
I think it would not be so difficult to know the difference between expected data streams and unexpected data streams without ever knowing the content of the streams. IP addresses, MACs, ports, and any app info is all you need. There is no need for deep inspection.
e-readers have their place. I'd say it would be for viewing more dynamic docs or quick reference over a networked feed for tech docs. Paper books, for me, are not replaceable. You don't have to worry so much about a paperback. I can smack my son (allegedly) with it when he acts like a kook. I can throw it off a twenty story building and it still works. I can treat my book like the $6.00 price it cost.
I know this is an old argument. I am an old dude, (allegedly), but I see what my son reads. And how he reads, and he decidedly did not want an e-reader for his reading needs.
I just wish I could buy books printed on hemp like God intended.!
With all due respect to the many excellent coders who have contributed to this thread, IMHO the tools and methods discussed seem to be a rather free lance version of coding.
I have worked in areas of the computing worlds where coding is tightly controlled by humans and not software. Review boards, meetings, team efforts....
IMHO, relying of software to enforce proper coding practices is lazy. Communication is the key... Communication among coders who CAN communicate should be without question. Revision control software is not and should not be a mind reader.
You don't have a 16 year old in high school then... Sure, if the teacher is exceptional, texting will be down. But not stopped. Hormones my man... hormones...
Thats right! Direct democracy can never work. Which is what made Switzerland such a hellhole
Switzerland Pop. 7,591,500
U.S.A. Pop. 305,690,000
California Pop.36,553,215
So you see, direct Democracy sort of works in California. But as you see, the majority just put a minority into a second class status. I cannot image the horrors of letting over 300 million people vote on issues of Rights. Switzerland doesn't even have the population of Los Angeles county, 9,878,554. So your example is not very valid when talking about USA.
Jules: You remember Antoine Roccamora, half black, half Samoan, used to call him Tony Rocky Horror? Vincent: Yeah, maybe. Fat, right? Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call the brother fat, I mean he got a weight problem. What's the nigger gonna do? He's Samoan.
But couldn't documentaries be considered "reality TV"? Also Biographies and such? As for the general crap that the big networks produce, I'll have to agree with you that it is crap. In fact, I could argue that it actually hurts society by feeding our brains such simplistic and many times sadistic images that we forget how to digest complex thoughts.
Reality TV also does a fine job of distracting us from more important issues. The fact that more people vote in American Idle than for President. Of course the choices we have for Pres is partly to blame...:p
But "Real TV" like documentaries, bios, and such tend to be good food for our brains and is also much more real than reality TV.

uhh, I meant DAMN!
Raid on Bungeling Bay... ahh what fun!
I find booze works pretty well.
Given the perceived lack of hygiene by IT folks, just imagine how that room is gonna smell... blech!

The idea is that different humans will look at a data sets differently is what this is about. To automate that is nigh impossible.
I think it would not be so difficult to know the difference between expected data streams and unexpected data streams without ever knowing the content of the streams. IP addresses, MACs, ports, and any app info is all you need. There is no need for deep inspection.
One would think analyzing your own data traffic would be a good thing. sheesh...
Sounds like "Mr. Bonestripper" from the 1991 movie "Nothing But Trouble".

This is a left-leaning website.
There. I said it.
If Left mean smart, inquisitive, geeky, etc, then yes. The real question is why is that.
True Combat, Quake 3 mod, had the ability to shoot through object for some time. Too bad enough players for critical mass was not included.

And finally gvim >> emacs...
damn that was great!!!! cleaning monitor right after post....
It is texting while holding the [hone under the desk that is the problem. I know, I have had calls from my son's teacher... :(
You don't have a 16 year old in high school then... Sure, if the teacher is exceptional, texting will be down. But not stopped. Hormones my man... hormones...
+1 insightful...
Nice post.
not to mention probably hardwired into our psychology as a threat, again, from millions of years of exposure
How true... Nothing freaks me out more than then egg laying critters that use animals as hosts.
Also if you choose to and AvP to the discussion, I liked how the Aliens killed one of their own to free the queen. That shows evolved hive instincts.
Then maybe the definition of a good drummer is imprecise. And who should be voting? Fans or other drummers?

I know this is a few days old, (I work thus I am always behind in /.) but your concerns intrigue me. What are your recommendations?
I thought that Uwe Boll sucked. That was pretty funny.
