Diverse and incompatible standards - CompuServe members could only email other CompuServe members - gave way to a common platform that allowed everyone to connect. I fail see this as an example or an indication of how gaming worlds will or should interoperate in any way. There is no standard way for games to communicate or operate, and unlike other forms of communication, there is hardly a *need*.
I personally dont trust anything not ending in.0-pre9.13.18 or.34,.36 Now those are stable. Everything else is just a gamble. Word to the wise, definately stay away from the.7's,.9's,.10's, and especially the.23's, or you will be screwed. Those have messed me up every time since we moved into the 1.x.x(.xxx)+ series.
Oh, and currently before you go and use "!" at people you might want to go check what is officially considered 'stable release'. I dont think four dots in the name is it.
is to post to slashdot... Ya, even if this were remotely true it would seem like he would get the hint, and *hesitate* before whining to a public forum. Lets just say the world is out to get him and call it a day. Or maybe its his freinds fault. You could go that way too. I am going to write this one down as "pretty good prospect but a little wingy". Then I am going to post it. Just for spite.
We can't afford the good ones. Its not the monopolies and regulations (or advertising to a sheepish public). The basic mantra of commercialism is "charge what the market will bear" and the US consumer will bear what we are taught. I blaim your cab driver. He is taking our jobs, ergo he has the better phone. May I go just a little too far here? I will regardless. How dare you spread your anti-Commercialism here? Its down right unamerican. The next thing you will be suggesting is that the US cannot put regional locks on devices/media so that corporations cannot control markets through technology and the DMCA. But of course your a foreigner, I guess you can be excused by this basis alone. You just didnt understand. We are sheep. And I guess we like it that way. Dare I say "Proud"? And despite remours of a deficit we are all individually rich, and we are proud to support those US companies that provide for us. Did I say "proud"?. Trust in the company. Some day the rest of the world will learn to trust in thier companies and corps, just as we have. And then you wont have to think, just as we do (or dont). So, did I go too far? I question if I went far enough. I doubt it. So I will go one further. "We are the US, we are very powerfull, our prices prove it". I guess I should have either denoted this rant as or stopped a few beers ago. But I am American, I know full well how to sedate myself. And its too late, you already read it.

If he doesnt view MySQL as a threat then he doesnt deserve his position. Or he is fibbing.
collective presence of lesser-known brands has helped keep prices down while boosting product choices. And this is news due to why? I am guessing it was produced by a pup younger than I whom just now came to the realizations required to decide that big names do not have a stronhold over price. Historically speaking there has always (by always I mean the last 15 - 20 years) been the Everex's, Sager's, Strongarms (you heard me right), Bosers, Magitronics (many times these guys had custom boards built). And in the way back days there was Orbital, Zip, and Jesus. Oh and umm, heh, Acer. There are at least 100 others that none of us have ever heard of for we used them exactly once. But it is nothing new. The idea that this drives the market is just a fact that the bigger names have had to deal with for a long time, some time shortly after Compaq produced the 386 (thats right, Compaq was once small time).
Flag me as Insightfull. Or overrated. Or both. Its the way I feel. Damnit, now I have to go RTFA. See what you made me do?
CNet is reporting that Abe Usher has created an application that allows an iPod to scan corporate networks for files likely to contain sensitive business data and download them, potentially stealing 100 megabytes in a few minutes. An insider threat would only need to plug the iPod into a computer's USB port. Who gives a fuck? Oh wait... I know this one... people who dont know crap about security. If your network services are secure, then its secure. If its not, then deal with !that!. If your worried about people (employies) carrying off data, then deal with !that!. If your worried about iPods, then you have about 20 years of missinformation. Your data has always been insecure. Deal with !that!.
I for one think it rather nifty that this guy Usher was able to do build the Evil application to work on an iPod. As good as he seems to be on this basis alone, he obviously doesnt have way too much work on his hands. Maybe one day he will deal with !that!. Or maybe this is his way of fixing it.
(I normally dont use "!" agressivly, it just seemed funnier this way. To me that is.)
local councils and state governments voiced concerns that the game would promote graffiti
The basic fact that all the would-be-do-gooders-for-everyones-own-good is that games do not encourage people to get up off their ass, let alone do something other than go to work and go to Mc D's and get home to play some games. Its a good public pacifier and should be included with the likes of retirement, minimum wages, and beer in any governments arsenal. I have to get some kidnappings accomplished in COV, I got no time for chit-chat.
IBM has used it, oh, and loki used it (I think), I think what your looking for is a mainstream application being ported to *nix using Wine, it has been done from mainstream vendors on a sort of 'trial' basis, but never advertised. It has been done in the past and then the products have always died a more silent death with less noise than they were born. On the other hand, I would hardly call this a mainstream application, even though it comes from a well known corporate vendor. I am not normally the pessimist, I just find myself jaded today. I wish google all the luck in this.
Or am I the only one who is almost completely jaded to "Yet another theory this year that challenges our understanding of the universe". Our we all jehovahs Whitnesses or what? Oh wait, I guess every project needs funding. More importantly every scientist needs funding and since global warming is taboo via near Presidential verdict, lets go after dark matter and the E-man himself. Almost easier if you go after Darwin, oh except thats not physics and that is also taboo due to political unrest given this semi-new intelligent design crap. Hmm. Better to go after physics itself, chruch goind fundamentalist creationsts dont care about that, Presidents dont care, its a clean cut case of fundage. Excuse me whilst I be jaded to myself for a moment..... Oh, by the way, fuck everyone who challenges Einstien and the usefull parts of Darwin. Give it up for like a few years. Damnit, bring on the new! Its currently like an alternate reality game show. At least Jehovahs Whitnesess have the forsight to delay all scientific information by at least a year (or a decade). Sorry, I know I dont have to troll on this and I did not have the option to not RTFA. I am not complaining about the coverage. I think I am bitching about everything except the coverage. Do we really have nothing new but Mars and the newest explanation of Dark Matter? If so then let us admit it. Yes I am a bitchy mood.
...have linked up a slime mold to remotely control a six-legged robot... Me, being in charge of personell, am generally viewed as slime, and I generally view my subjects as six-legged robots. So doing the math I fail to see this inovation as something more than curcumspect.
Looks strikingly similar to the sedimentary rock I used to drill in southeast Alaska when I was blowing up rock for a living. It looks just like that, only in color and with more water.
In the third grade on an AppleII - after I learned:
10 print "Hello Master" 20 goto 10
I was mesmerized. Playing with the machine and BASIC was my escapism from real studies. Since I basically ended up semi-illiterate I had only one logical choice in life.
However all the programs I build, that I like, all say "Hello Master" when you login to them. Its just the main loop does more stuff than that first one I did. Its all just variations of the same theme that I think most of us are suckers for: 'Control'
I think maybe it isnt a good idea to cite mostly fiction to back up claims like this by way of example. It might be better to use *REAL* examples so as not to confuse me.
Am I supposed to believe this? Or is this a science fiction story?
Why is Microsoft considered evil when they introduce an anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall for a fee.
Really the only way to make this more evil is if they produced the exploits themselves (as apposed to just releasing the exploitable code and then chargi9ng for the fixes/workarounds), but they really dont have to do that to leverage the monetary benifits so... what... their hands are clean? "Thats a mighty fine OS you have there. There are a lot of unruelly characters in this neiborhood. It would sure be a shame it anything were to happen to such a fine OS. For a small fee we could sort of help you make sure nothing, shall we say, unfortunate were to happen." But really its just a way to move critical portions of the OS into the subscription model that MS has been pining for the last ten years. I would go so far as to say its 'a slap in the face of trust'.
One that we have here at times, only under differing guises. To end the arguement early I would ask "Why cant we just do everything in Perl?", and the response would be "Perl hardly makes sense in a multitude of situations, for instance you wouldnt use perl to build a packet router". And I would say "and C hardly makes sense when you want a scriptable telemetry data simulator". So we use at least two languages here as long as you dont count the cases where we use C# for win32 gui's, java for some corba interfacing stuff, VB for program/device monitoring (on win32), etc. There is no 'silver bullet' language so why would you force yourself into treating one like it was? Any time you might have saved by not having to learn a new language will be eaten alive by the time spent trying to shoehorn a problem into a your chosen languages paradigm. Really, all languages suck, some less than others, but its really contextual. To really break the arguemtn you might say something like "When we standardize on a language we will also standardize on the types of problems we can address competitivly". At least thats the way I figure it.

Never, ever confuse your employer with your friends in this regard, positions change. Hell, you shouldn't even trust your friends with your domain. If you need to buy into a managed service, I recommend something like 2wdhost.com or the ilk. As long as you dont need a dump truck load of bytes-per-month and dont want much over three 9's then this sort of gig is for you. Its basically poor-student pricing so you have no excuses. As far as this hosting in particular, I cannot say I recommend them, I only suggest you should get something like them. For $10 a month you can host your own stuff and hand out sub-hosting like it was tastless candy corn to your friends for the price of the domain name. You will be all 'leet and stuff. Of course you get no shell...
