being ominipotent, the creation, alteration or elimination of any state or states requires zero effort or time.
given that any action requires zero effort or time, the choice between performing and action and not performing an action for god boils down to only a choice of will or desire, not ability or effort or any other constraint.
thus,
action and inaction are, functionally, the same for an omnipotent god.
children starve to death every day.
god does nothing to stop this startvation.
this inaction to prevent said starvation is the same as a direct action to cause it.
deliberately causing children to starve to death is cruel.
that's all well and good from a developer standpoint. but for the end user, the problem is going to be software availability.
witness altivec: apple's vector processing promised to offer all sorts of wild and crazy performance gains, but the prospect of massive refactoring of existing codebases prevented it from being widely adopted. the result is that even though your spiffy new g5 has altivec under the hood, aside from photoshop, there isn't really any software available for it.
In my experience, even managers with tech experience can't always run the show. There's certainly more to it then domain expertise, common sense being one of the most important.
right. so, you're saying that a manager has to have the appropriate skillset for the project he's managing. pretty obvious.
i think the whole question is moot and original post pointless. managers need to have a unique skillset for the project or operation they're managing. sometimes this means technical proficiency is required, sometimes it doesn't.
which is exactly what i'm looking for. my home music distribution plan is based around some sort of software amalgation like beam plus an fm transmitter card. broadcast fm around the house and never have to lay speaker wire again!
Hey, that's not fair! Rather than help you in your good idea, to make it fair, we'll bitch about it.
is it more fair for french libraries to donate free labour to google's for-profit venture?
there is a point to be made here about the state of the internet in general. nearly half of the world's population are indian or chinese. they have cultures and histories longer and deeper than that of western europe and certainly north america. yet, on the web those cultures are all but invisible.
history, it seems, will no longer be "written by the victor" but "written by those with a broadband internet connection".
and, what pray tell, will be legislated? the issue here is an end user license agreement. and blizzard ain't no "end user."
the bottom line is this: a eula is designed to tell you, the end user, what you may do with the software. it is not a promise of performance or an obligation of service binding on the distributor. period.
A mechanism to find collisions does not affect SHA-1's strength as a password hashing algorithm or its use in a hashed message authentication code. So you'll be just fine.Z
really? well, i'm not the real frymaster. what do you say to that?
When will we see C++ autocomplete support in free tools at least equal to Visual Assist?
maybe i'm blowing smoke out my ass (puff puff) but it seems like you can get 80% of that just by using vim. let's look at the feature list from visual assists website:
Enhanced Listboxes no
Suggestion Lists ctrl p and ctrl n in vim will auto complete and cycle through all the similar options. you can set your dictionary to include a syntax file. the whole skinny on that is here
Enhanced Syntax Coloring i don't know how "advanced" the coloring is... but vim certainly allows you to write some pretty "advanced" syntax files
Goto well, there's bookmarks in vim. that's similar.
Underlining of Misspelled Words there's a swell spellchecker for vim here. it "highlights" mispelled words... which may be as good as "underlining".
Auto Recovery. vim does a fine job of recovering (see here) i don't know how "auto" you need it.
Copyright infringement is a form of theft since the rightful owners of the copyrighted material aren't being compensated.
well, that's a pretty broad definition.
is someone parks in my driveway without giving me five bucks, is that theft? no. it's trespass which is a totally different crime, even though it meets your definition of theft.
they key component of theft is that the owner is denied the use of the property. if someone boosts my car i am denied the use of it. that's theft. if someone violates copyright, the original holders still have property.
bottom line: loss of alleged, potential, future revenue is not theft of a tangible, existing asset. copyright infringement is not theft.
Electronic music has been around for longer than that... we all know that
probably true. and probably moot. the real musical revolution, though, isn't "electronic" music, but digital music.
i personally count the begining of digital/electronic music to peter samson who, while at mit in the early 60's, prgrammed the tx-0 to play an entire fugue by bach. the entire piece was written in assembly!
my source is here... although you'll have to dig through a lot of text to find it.
Is there any limit on how much you can optimize.. eventually, everything will be at equillibrium...
no. because the system that you are optimizing for will continue to change as the optimizers continue to sabotage the quality of the ranking algorithms.
let's face it: people use google because the front page is full of links they find useful and relevant. as optimization services get better, and more and more companies looking to hock their wares pay to get on the front page, google will lose it's edge. the result will be an improved or different ranking algorithm and... the optimization cycle begins again.
hell, it's happening right now. google has announced that they will no longer be counting links with rel=nofollow in anchor tags when calculating pange rankings.
I'm worried that it will just add another 'compeletly separate' license
well, the lgpl has been around for a long while and it's caused no serious confusion so far. the fact is, if there are a lot of licenses it's easier to find one that suits your project and organization's requirements. choice good.
Slashdot Mirror
uh, fdisk?
better to try and solve your political problems with a recount than an invasion...
okay. how about polio? are people who get polio "evil"? are they being punished for a sin? are they undergoing a punishment for the evil of others?
highly unlikely.

i can forsee sun running into the same problem.
in soviet russia, the fbi investigates...
oh, wait. that's even lamer, isn't it.

wrong. mono is about "embrace and extend"... the same technique that microsoft has been using for years to swallow or crush competing technologies.
it's nice to see redmond on the receiving end of this formula for once, don't you think?
well, i don't know about tabs... but the fastest browsers on earth are:
lynx
links
dillo
if you don't mind not seeing the pretty pictures, that is.
well, that's a pretty broad definition.

the worst work distraction for me is a little site called... slashdot.
note: i'm at work right now :)
"sex kittens go to college" is not porn... really. technically it's labelled as "comedy", although i think most of the laughs were unintentional.
full rundown on this 1960, black-n-white, b-grade, cheesecake movie here.
probably true. and probably moot. the real musical revolution, though, isn't "electronic" music, but digital music.

All it needs to do is render html, optionally show pictures, and supply widgets for forms.
well... there is lynx (and links, and dillo). the problem there is that, while you may not get hacked, people will think you're hacking them!
1. buy bloglines
2. ???
3. profit!
i've got a question for jeeves: how the hell are you going to make money with this?
just askin'.
you're wasting cycles on purpose? what a novel idea! most people piss away their cycles with 10,000 spy and adware processes.
no. because the system that you are optimizing for will continue to change as the optimizers continue to sabotage the quality of the ranking algorithms.
let's face it: people use google because the front page is full of links they find useful and relevant. as optimization services get better, and more and more companies looking to hock their wares pay to get on the front page, google will lose it's edge. the result will be an improved or different ranking algorithm and... the optimization cycle begins again.

i could go on and on and on. but you'd probably want to punch me if i did...
