bugzilla.mozilla.org just hit bug 100,000 (cached). This proves its scalability
Heh? Ok... this just sounds funny. I agree that bugzilla is scaleable, but 100,000 bugs doesn't really constitute a *large* database either. What about its scalability on the raw hit traffic front? Well, you've linked to a cached version, so that "proves its scalability"? That kinda reminds me of seeing hdtv advertising on my regular TV, and there's always some bozo in the room that says, "hey, look how clear that picture is!".
I submitted this exact article this morning and it was rejected. Given its time sensative nature, it probably would have been in prudent judgement to post it then.
Regardless, I find it troubling that they've listed certain software licenses as necessities! Even in a time of crisis, can't we forget this silly licensing crap? Any word from microsoft on donating the licenses in question? Would companies now consider special licensing for emergency service organizations after seeing what we are seeing here? Just some thoughts to ponder.
Ok... here's the deal with coffee. Being a programmer, I drink a lot of coffee. I'm not bringing this topic up because I'm strange... this is serious. Usually after my first major caffeine hit in the morning, I get the "coffee shits". Strange thing about the coffee shits is that it only happens once! Once the event has occurred, I'm safe to drink as much coffee as I want without further problems. Its almost as if the colon has crossed some kind of hidden barrier into a state of caffeine dependence.
Ever wonder why drinking cofee usually results in a major colon explosion?
I've consulted a number of medical information sources trying to find the exact biological cause of "the coffee shits"... mostly because I'd like to know what kind of pressures are put on my body from caffeine intake.
Never once did I ever think that perhaps my arteries were at stake too! In fact, I always thought coffee was good for my body in a way... being all natural and everything.
Aside from the arteries problem, anybody have any biological insight into the coffee shits?
Sounds good to me, except what about all those little projects that get the sidelines? HA! Real time fur (on) my ass... what about the the BSOD toothbrush? Not much is known about the research they put into packaging. I would have never thought of taking a regular PC and turning it into a game console. How about that research on how to print holograms on the a CD face? Can they do that on Billy's face? That would be cool.
You shouldn't throw those machines away! Low end pentium systems make great "enterprise level" routers, or local area mail servers. In fact, apache running on those boxes could serve up a surprising number of sustained hits.
Where I work, we don't get new computers often. Yes, we're a computer company, but the boss is cheap. We find ways to get more life out of older machines. We actually just took a bunch (12) of pentium-75 machines, forced them to boot directly to a MS Terminal Services client. They're all connected together in a classroom to a win2k term server. By doing that, we enabled old hardware to perform a necessary task, and do so with modern tools.
My point is that you could probably find uses for these machines within your own area. Doing this successfully will add value to your employment and likely get you some/dev/kudos, proving your resourcefulness.
I think it was the fact that too many of the companies have tried to control the internet. Its an unfamiliar medium, especially to the majority of gray haired CEO's out there. Regardless, the efforts put in by these companies did help its growth, but that can only extend so far. The internet demands freedom... information demans to be free. That point is the so-called "back-lash"
Just incase you didn't get the memo, its not wise to store critical documents in your "my documents" folder. "My Documents" are everybody elses documents too.
The other day on the 'net, I read that there was a world outside. So today, I ventured out of my house for the first time after a 3 year hacking binge. The only thing outside was the 'net. Go figure.
Anybody else find it extremely amazing that an object's color, under the ocean, can be identified by a satelite? Anybody want to try proving that they *can't* see my face from space?
... a group of developers has ported the linux kernel to the 1 dollar bill. The 5 dollar bill, including the Abraham Lincoln driver, should be running early next week.
Teach them to design and write a basic 3d shooter style game... that way, they'll keep interest in the project and have something they are proud of at the end of the course. You may want lay out guidelines about the guns (force them to use imaginative ray guns for example) so that the inner city liberal whinos don't get upset.
Constructing a game of this style will excercise different areas of computing... graphic design, 3d spatial relationships, math (trig), logic flow, and of course programming.
When musiccity canned their opennap servers a few weeks ago, they released a new client (morpheus) built for a new p2p network that does the same thing... downloads are very fast! I think the idea of distributed file serving is really cool.
I know of a company (www.compusenseinc.com) that has named their latest product 'nTierprise', because its written on the whole nTier model... Yeah, I'd invest in that company! That proves this company is looking toward the future. This is the same type of company that would write something called "DosApp" and nobody would buy it!
5 years from now, they won't be able to sell nTierprise either.
I was hanging out in gopherspace, listening to my friends brag about hypertext and I was jealous because my PC wasn't capable of 'graphics'. Hmmm... amazingly, I still use pine for email.
