I knew I heard that phrase somewhere, I wasn't sure where. I did a search on google and found it. When I wrote that post, the quote from that movie "Airheads" was in my head. Their band's name was "The Lone Rangers".
Open Source has the most vulnerable model available, yes. Anybody who knows how to code can put anything they want into the code. Exploits should be abundant, right?
Sorry to diagree, but I don't think this guy deserves to be modded back up. He is apparantly one of these guys that thinks open source means a guy like myself can go change the official linux code, and no one will know. His post should be ignored and everyone should move along.
I dont understand how they can make a 3d model out of a 2d picture. It is hard to understand their page. I'm thinking that they catch the light rays, and can tell which light rays arrive at which time, letting it perceive depth. But how do they tell the difference from old light rays? And obviously, i dont know how you'd be able to see how something looks from behind when it doesnt show up on the on the 2d picture.
What I dont understand is why browsers don't have better support for downloading and resuming of files. Why do programs like GetRight and Gozilla have to exist, catching clicks in browsers and downloading for us? And it would be twice as good if the browser could crash, and your download window keep downloading. I personally run mozilla and I'll use wget for huge files and resuming. It would be nice if I could do it right in mozilla.
This is cool, and greatly increases the expectancy of life on a planet, but you need favorable conditions and temperature, and climate. How common is that?
Certainly 49,819,600 people can't be all that wrong now can they? This is more votes than CLINTON got so I guess that means good 'ol Billy Boy has the head of a rotten squash?
look at AOL
char's range from -128 to 127
short's range from -32768 to 32767
long's range from -2147483648 to 2147483647
or they can be unsigned:
unsigned char's range from 0 to 255
unsigned short's range from 0 to 65536
unsigned long's range from 0 to 4294967296
now int's will change sizes depending on the platform of the program you're developing, which depends on the compiler. I *think* in real mode dos, ints will be like shorts, 16 bit.. and in protected mode, they will be like long's, 32 bit.
Security TFM: Actually, throwers don't worry about ticking because modern bombs dont tick.
CmdrTaco: Excuse me? "Throwers?"
Security TFM: Baggage handlers. But when a suitcase vibrates, then the throwers have to call the police.
CmdrTaco: My suitcase was vibrating?
Security TFM: Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but every once in a while.... its a dildo. Of course, its airline policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo. We use the indefinite article: "A dildo." Never "Your dildo."
I've always wondered, whats wrong with napster? Its basically a search engine, showing what computers have what mp3s. They've had search engines for html for a long time, and noone has complained, even though many html sites have illegal material. Mp3s arent illegal. People can be trading sound effect, comedy routines, or political speeches. What is so illegal?
i saw mafiaboy on irc a lot.. it was in one of g's channels.. #2,000 or #backorifice on efnet... i remember one day, he defaced www.64bit.com (i think).. and he made it the topic i thought it was soo funny when i heard a mafiaboy got caught.. i bet it was the same guy
They were going to break them up into a software company, and an operating system company, and maybe a company just for internet explorer. Which one is the one that produces hardware?
I really dont think Microsoft should be shoving their way into the home console industry. I seriously hope its a huge disaster, and no one buys them, that would be great.
What if the government splits them up into 2 or 3 companies? Which company would be in control of the X-box?
I dont like this "guilty until proven innocent" stuff. Ebay is a service that they can choose to cancel at any time, its not a right. But ebay is loosing money when they cancel these legit sales, i dont know why they would cooperate with M$
but I'm sure M$ is making some money, getting rid of reselling software makes people buy software directly from M$
Just because it is Open-Source doesnt mean all bugs are surely spotted.. but at least there won't be any freakin NetscapeEngineersAreWeenies backdoors!
its just a free exchange of information between people. they have been selling 25 cent cds for over $15 way before napster came along. People need to be less greedy.

My only question is why they didn't use multiple proccessors! Oh yeah, Windows 9x/ME doesnt support them.
I hear these things can do infinite loops in 2.3 seconds!

exactly why open source kicks so much ass.

Its real nice how my school's web proxie wont let me go to any internet site with the word mp3 in it.

hehe.. uh oh... unsigned shorts range from 0 to 65535.. sorry
char's range from -128 to 127
short's range from -32768 to 32767
long's range from -2147483648 to 2147483647

if you switch the last two digits, thats 65535, which is the highest value of an unsigned 16-bit integer.

Thats the grossest thing i've ever seen. No one look at the "better view"
