With any PHP-based solution, you have to hit the DB every time you want to get anything dynamic.
You must not have a clue how slashcode works, or you have never heard of database caching.
Also, psuedo-compiled versions of Perl modules are stored and re-used in Apache. PHP scripts have to be interpreted every time they're accessed. Unless, of course, you use the Zend optimizer, but it is not open source.
You may also be thinking of the Zend Cache, or the Alternative PHP Cache, which is open. You really need to check your facts before you bash on PHP.:)
Using your brain to store music: A Napster In The Making? As if the music industry doesn't already have its share of digital headaches, it may have a new source of potential copyright infringement to contend with: human memory.
A British Internet monitoring startup calls the ability of the human brain to store music "another Napster in the making" and says the industry may be losing more than $1 trillion a day in related royalties.
Envisional Ltd., which sells software and services for monitoring intellectual-property rights violations, discovered the potential infringement while doing an MP3-related research project for the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.
Co-founder and chief operating officer Ben Coppin said the company decided to pursue the research on its own.
Studies have shown that the human brain can store over 30 terabytes of information, and there are currently no copyright protections in place that allow recording artists to recover these financial losses due to downloading and sharing. The most common form of uploading was through auditory senses, or the ears.
Coppin said record labels are entitled to 7.5 cents for each memory and song in a person's brain that uses copyrighted material, but industry sources couldn't confirm that figure.
Envisional arrived at its estimate of potential losses based on analyst research indicating that very few individuals with brains who are paying the required royalties. Coppin said he considers his firm's estimate to be "rough," but adds that "our feeling is that it's fairly conservative."
He said Envisional has had discussions with multiple, well-known music labels about taking the research further.
Webnoize Inc. analyst Ric Dube said storing music in the human brain is becoming big business, particularly in Asia and other regions where humans have bigger heads and can store the music much easier.
The storage of copyrighted memories, Dube said, could present a revenue opportunity for the labels.
Meanwhile, Gartner analyst P.J. McNealy said concerns surrounding music memories aren't about to take on the magnitude of file sharing, at least not until streaming technologies allow flawless playback from the brain. He went on to explain that quite simply, many people just can't sing.
"I don't see the [Recording Industry Association of America] launching a round of lawsuits," said McNealy. "But rest assured we have the technology to stop these offenders, it's very easy to perform a lobotomy."
Any examples of past experiences or how you dealt with such issues would be helpful, management is more than willing to work with us.
1) 3rd shift, if they want someone on call, they need to pay someone to be there.
2) Pay overtime for the time spent (from when you receive the page/call to when you resolve it, don't think it will go unnoticed if it takes 5 hours to help someone figure out how to FTP though).
Actually, I got a cramp in my hand a couple weeks ago, it was aching pretty badly and for a little while I thought I may have gotten CTS. Personally, I don't think a better keyboard is going to solve the problem, I think we need to focus on getting RID of the keyboard. Voice operated software is kind of an in-between, but I think the best idea would be to hook electrodes up to your head (might look goofy in version 1.0) and translate brain patterns to output (mouse as well as keyboard). I think there was a/. story not too long ago about being able to interpret brain waves as actions (remote control for TV, etc), so why couldn't they make a KB/mouse with this same concept?
Microsoft makes world domination push with China partnership Original Mong: JON FORTT/Mercury News Microsoft will soon make another big push into the world domination business, after a five-year deal struck with China. Microsoft and China announced Thursday that Microsoft will be the exclusive everything provider to China's citizens. China is home to serves more than 5 billion citizens, roughy 30% of the world's population.
China will discontinue its own political domination. About 5,000 of China's citizens get direct access to this domination through fear every day, either through subjugation or spying.
Specific terms of the deal were not disclosed. But as part of the deal, China promised to do away with the Tebitian problem. Microsoft also gets first crack at invading Taiwan next quarter, who will have the option of switching over to MSDN (Microsoft Domination Network) or finding a new ally. China projects that the deal could bring the country as much as $31.5 billion over five years.
So far Microsoft's efforts in the world domination arena have fallen flat. Former partner North Korea has filed for protection from the United States, and Microsoft's co-branded MS-Cuba program has not done much business. All together, said Expansion and Marketing Manager Bob Visse, Microsoft has fewer than two billion customers acquired through world domination.
The deal with China, which could turn out to be the largest an country has made with a company, could be the beginning of a larger trend. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said he is eager to strike similar deals with other countries, he also went on to state that Russia is pretty close to China, although he declined to comment on any plans to buy Russia.
Plus, Microsoft has to plan ahead. AOL Time Warner, which is both the biggest media companies with a large user base, has a clearer path to domintating the rest of the world, with their recent acquisitions of Canada and South America.
For other reasons, it is in Microsoft's interest to push the adoption of it's agenda. Many of Microsoft's plans, including the consumer segment of its.Net strategy, the Xbox video game console and the wired home, require them to have lots of citizens to buy them without qustion. For competitive reasons, it's in Microsoft's interest to do it quickly.
``We think this is going to be just a super-attractive opportunity for us to switch the disenfranchised Chinese citizens who are in a evil beurocratic communist country, to one that is owned by Microsoft,'' Visse said.
China's territory includes more than 20 miles out to sea, but not according to the United States.
You had me until "that money comes at the expense of your eternal soul".
"Imagine telling your mother or your wife, or your children that you're working in porn." I did tell them, they are proud that I make so much money, and enjoy what I do (programming, YAW!)
Pray for my soul if you want, I'm gonna go spend my money.
Last August, I was a contract consultant... things were good, then slowly, the market started drying up (everyone was starting to buckle down on new projects).
I figured it was a good time to look for a permanent job. I interviewed with quite a few dot com types, from Boston to SF to Fort Lauderdale, I finally went with a porn hosting company. About 3/4 of the other places I interviewed with are out of business or have had some serious layoffs. The place I work at has actually grown (and is profitable!)
I don't see my family complaining anymore now that I have job security in the sin industry vs working for a conservative type company and getting laid off.
Back in August, I had a feeling that things were slowing down (I was a self-employed contractor, it's either feast or famine). It's true, while the rest of the tech industry has been slowing down, where I work we are taking on new customers and growing (in profits as well).
So, does this mean we are going to see some more posts by sequential user ids? It was really quite amusing to see them do damage control (which seemed to cause more problems)
I would also like to reiterate that most of the people that take Linuxgruven up on their offer for training, are people with LITTLE or NO prior Linux skillsets. If you were an employer for a Linux company, would you train jo-schmo off the streets?
Maybe LinuxGruven shouldn't offer to hire these people then. If they are dense to computers in general, then why would you want someone like that working for you, even if you could train them... Just because you can pass a test doesn't make you a smart person.
If it really is a LinuxGruven employee(s) then they are not very good at hiding their blatant spamming. My guess is that it is someone who was burned by LinuxGruven and wants to sling more suspicion.
HAHA, anyone who has ever screwed up and forgotten the WHERE clause has to appreciate this. Except me of course... I have never done that, really.

How about this. Since you must agree that driver's licenses are a good thing when driving. Perhaps we need this type of thing for drug use. A license to use drugs.
PLEASE!!! This would be and even bigger mistake than the war on drugs... "Yes Uncle Sam, I use drugs, oh wait, you told my employer? FUUUUUCK!"... or better yet... "Yes, I use drugs and have a license for it... What do you mean I don't qualify for any insurance, at all? FUUUUUCK!"
Just as social drinking is something that can either be done publicly or privately, we need to respect people who chose to use drugs IN THEIR OWN HOMES.
Sorry for ranting, but I can imagine someone in Congress trying to pass something has horrid as this...

PHP is a great language, but there are a couple minor problems. While PHP is an Apache module, you can't actually write other modules in PHP.
:)
ahem, yes you can
With any PHP-based solution, you have to hit the DB every time you want to get anything dynamic.
You must not have a clue how slashcode works, or you have never heard of database caching.
Also, psuedo-compiled versions of Perl modules are stored and re-used in Apache. PHP scripts have to be interpreted every time they're accessed. Unless, of course, you use the Zend optimizer, but it is not open source.
