... they are doing it on purpose to give Unix itself a bad name.
Of course they are. Open source has already borne the brunt of a PR attack. The XP ploy to introduce the MS/TCP protocol could be seen to be another piece of the same nefarious plan. What I want to know is, what happened to IPng? Wasn't that supposed to save the world/internet as we know it?
Have you ever worked with a mixed platform network? Done a network backup on such a network? (I only mention this because I'm a big fan of backups. Well, I am now that I've found that the hassle has a payoff. A large, large payoff.)
Don Knuth's books on Algorithms. The K&R book. Stay away from the new "flavor of the month" books and focus more on entrenched standards and theories. Database design books (There are many). The Dragon book (Compiler construction).
This isn't (totally) the Corporations fault. Social Security numbers are like the primary key of all primary keys. Nothing as simple as a (semi-predictable) 9 digit number should be used to identify and empower the change of a persons entire financial identity.
On a side note, out school e-mail system uses the last 4 digits of your social security number in your e-mail address. The last 4 digits are the ones that are hardest to find. I was told (please confirm) that the first 3 are derived from the state you were born in and the year. The next two identify the county (or hospital?) of your birth. I asked to have my e-mail changed.
Best Buy will not allow you to return CD's. You can only exchange the CD for the same title. (Like software) So unless a bunch of people keep going back to Best Buy and exchanging CD's under the guise of trying to find one that "doesn't pop and click" I think this plan is doomed to failure.:(
Drop Java in favor of.NET? Why? If your apps are written in Java, just make the browser download the freakin' plugin. The designer of the app/page has the control here. So what if the XP browser doesn't come stock with a JVM. There's enough stuff out there that requires a JVM already that a lot of people have them by now. I wouldn't go so far as to say its "entrenched" but it's certainly more prolific than.NET.
Uhm... Your chances of "winning" in the stock game are much better if you do research. Your chances of winning the lottery, aren't. Professional gamblers do not play games against the house, they play games against other professional gamblers. (Aside from blackjack, which also requires that you play against other people at the table.) As far as professional investors getting burned by the IPO's, well... Warren Buffer (2nd or 3rd richest man on earth, resides in Nebraska... NEBRASKA!), won't touch anything he doesn't understand... IE Tech stocks. He is a Professional. And he would probably not agree with your statement about luck in stock picks.
From what I understand (dangerous words), This takes a binary executable with the original platform in mind and translates it to an executable binary for another platform. This idea is new (at least to me) since before, translation became MUCH more difficult once machine code was output, but possible. I imagine that this decompiles the binary, translates the machine code into some standard and simple (but mythical) machine language, and from there produces binaries for the different architectures. This is on the same level as yacc. Before yacc, writing a parser was a pain. All yacc did was define a standard method of describing the parser. I think that they've taken the souce architecture as the describing standard and built a translator to produce generic and easily translatable target code.
Words do not carry with them an inherent moral or ethical value. Words are words are words (ad infinitum). Context is everything. What is considered appropriate or not is solely based on social mores and folkways. To many the word "girl" is as demeaning and deragotory as the word "cunt." Legislating the use of language outside of context is intractable and stupid. But it makes the conservative (well, puritan maybe) voters happy. Since they vote, they get what they want.
Our obsession with politically correct speech has led to things like the cessation of correct use of the word "sex." We now (incorrectly) use "gender" to discern sex. Nouns have gender, people have sex. (Except for the afformentioned puritans.)
Wordprocessing, spreadsheets, and databases? I'm going to assume that you didn't understand his question. These are inner-city elementary students. Programming should almost not even be broached at this point. Navigating a filesystem, executing programs, internet stuff (irc/ftp/google whatever), MAYBE help them build their own websites and show them how to add stuff to them. Without knowing the reading level of the students, this is about as much as one can offer.
After wearing the rings, you should feel the results: starting to look younger, becoming healthier, becoming more energetic, etc. You know what? I wanted to state that I guarantee that The Eternal Life Device definitely lets you stay physically young forever! But a few of my friends told me not to claim it. They said that such a claim can get me into big trouble. I am pretty sure, though, that it DOES make you stay physically young forever! I can only say that it is believed to let you stay physically young forever or turn you younger, AND I am PRETTY SURE of it.
Did you eat a giant bowl of dumbass for breakfast?
Well... I guess I'll be the optimist (this is an unfamilier role, so please bear with me).
Albert Einstein once said: "If you can't explain it to an 8-year old you probably don't understand it."
Writing the whole thing off as a loss is a sure way to watch things change for the worse. Of course the unwashed (illiterate) masses are uninformed, but I'll bet that no revolution has ever been started without a bit of work by those that were in the know. If you don't know you're being screwed, then you don't know to bitch.
The Einstein quote by the way, may not be by Einstein, but I get a kick out of thinking about ol' Albert trying to explain relativity to an 8-year old.

You are a dumbass. I almost never succumb to an ad hominim argument, but in this case, it's apparently true. First: Learn to do math. Next realize that the United States doesn't have a lack of resources (like food), but a resource distribution imbalance (rich people and poor people). There is enough food to feed everyone... On this planet... From the corn/beef/pig/chicken in Nebraska, Iowa, and Kansas alone... Whether that is good or bad is debatable, what is not debatable is whether the money we're spending on this space station could be put to use feeding people. If we were in the business of feeding people we'd be doing just that. The evil capatalist "technocracy" that you speak of is what is responsible for every major health care advance of the modern era.
As for claiming a moral highground, I recommend you take pause. Why are you reading slashdot? From a computer no less? When according to you, all of your resources should be spent feeding people.
