  2. While true it's all about toy competition... on Lego Christmas Production Shortage · · Score: 1, Informative

    When legos have to compete with the XBox 360 you'd better throw some theme action in there to keep those kids interested. As much as we old nerds like to think we keep lego in business it's probably not the case. Not to mention they can chagre more for a theme which will keep the cost of standard bricks from rising. It's all very complicated financial stuff I wouldn't expect you to understand.

  4. Re:Any website? on Beginning PHP and MySQL 5.0 · · Score: 0

    I couldn't agree more. Some people think that a new set programming tools will make them produce better software. That's like thinking a new hammer will make you build a better house. If you don't have the design skills to being with your software will be a pile no matter what language it's written in or database you use. The sad thing is you see this behavior everywhere, where people/companies will abandon their current technology a spend all kinds of money and resources porting to a new technology that some programmer told them would solve all their problems only to find they have ported the design flaws with it.

    PHP, MySQL, Oracle, Java, etc are all just tools and in the hands of the correct developer can be used to produce incredible applications. In the hands of an amateur they will produce crap no matter the language.

    What I'd like to see is a decent book for beginners on how to design software and not one of these super abstracted pattern books that is so specific to the language that it complete pollutes the readers mind into believing the same concepts can't be used in a different language/databse/os.

    GM: Unlike the press would have you believe, it wasn't very clever. I searched for blank passwords, I wrote a tiny Perl script that tied together other people's programs that search for blank passwords, so you could scan 65,000 machines in just over eight minutes.

    Hmm password scanning 65000 machines in 8 mins. Lets see about that shall we...

    8125 machines per min
    135.5 machines per second

    not with his home pc over the public internet he didn't.

    Even if he had this so called Perl script running multi threaded there are some physical impossiblities to doing this from your home broadband connection using a pc.

    This is the REAL highest balloon flight.

    and I suspect no one will ever come close because it takes the backing of an org like the US airforce. Not only is it the highest ballon flight but HE JUMPED OUT making it also the longest and farthest human free fall. The only person to break the sound barrier without an aircraft. Now that is is baaaaaaaddddd aaaaaaaasssss. All that just to test a space suit. :)

  12. Re:Java ??? on Write Portable Code · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Not that I disagree with your main point as I love coding in Java. But none of those are inter process communications. Inter process communication would be send/receiving signals from other processes running on the machine. Because the jvm is a "self contained machine" it's processes do not send and/or receive signals with other processes on the machine. Now if you launch an external process from within the jvm then you can send and receive signals from that process (see java runtime exec call) within java but not out side of it. Of course this discussion brings up a very good point that is really at the heart of jvm based apps vs native apps. Many people, my self included, feel that inter process communication creates more problems than it solves. I feel that well defined entry and exit points (XML, properties file, API, SOAP, servlet, etc) to an application is the proper way to communicate with any app but then again this would require programmers to agree on stuff which is about as impossible as getting politicians to agree to something. :) We've made pogress but were still not there.

  13. Re:In other news on PHP Succeeding Where Java Has Failed · · Score: 0

    Java is used for a whole hell of a lot more than dynamic web sites. I agree with the orginal posting. They are very different and comparing the two is stupid. Besides there are a whole lot more java based web apps than the ones you see on public or service based web sites. Trying to compare the container architecures implimented JBoss/Jetty/Hibernate/etc to Zend's stuff is foolish. Frankly Zend is playing catch up to the big boys who have been at this for years. I do feel happy for PHP scripters, for now they can learn how real applications are built. !!!Fuck Tards!!!
