Never learned about those. Is that one of those funky trees where each node only points towards its parent, but the root node points to each of the leaves and has two additional pointers to patent_t and money_t structures?
"Two mathematicians have now taken the first step towards proving that pi contains not a single message but every conceivable message, meaningful or not."
I liken the phenomenon of having 2 major versions of Mono in the open source community to, say, splitting the vote within a political party.
Not to mention the potential etymological shift (say in 5 years) caused by the almost subconcious association of "mono" and "two". I suggest they change the name to bino, or something.
You better write that question down. I don't think there's an easy way to pronounce "f#&*".
In my neck of the woods "f#&*" is pronounced quickly with improper enunciation. So it comes out "fashion star". But maybe it's not a good idea to ask geeks about their "biggest fashion star up". They may think you said "fashion startup". Yeah, you're right. Write it down or say "fuck".
Basically... give them a test...
Make them implement
something to stop/fix/help/whatever you've put in front of them. Don't rush them
You know, I do this at my company. When the tech slump hit, I had to lay of a bunch of my coders and sysadmins because they were costing way too much. I replaced those guys with H1Bs from Calcutta, but even that proved to be too costly. So, two months ago I fired everyone. Now I just bring folks in for an "interview" and have them work for 4 hours. A week later a perl script sends them a kiss-off letter (believe it or not, the script was written by one of the interviewees). The real benefit with this approach (other than the 0 cost) is that people will push themselves for a few hours trying to impress you. You just don't find too many employees that'll do that consistently.

Jesus. I'm all for women's rights, equality, et al, but this all-encompassing, gender-inclusive, sexual-orientation-inclusive, language lawyer, political correctness stuff is absurd. Perhaps it should have read: "even if it's intended mostly as a mostly serious field guide to Linux
nerddom for amateur anthropologists, like parents (including but not limited to heterosexual parents, single dads, single moms, divorcees, homosexual parents (gay or lesbian), and all permutations of trans-sexual parents), girlfriends, boyfriends, trans-gender heterosexual partners, trans-gender homosexual partners, eunuchs, hermaphrodites and bosses."
I was talking to a professor who was a theoretical conspiratist back in the 70s. He claims that the Coca-Cola company was paying kickbacks to the Columbians and to street dealers to push the name "coke". It had the same degree of edginess at the time. --
Somehow I have my doubts that the internet will "cease to exist".
You must understand that there is no internet. This is a zen thing, so stick with me. To help you understand this, you need to meditate very deeply and free your mind of all you know. Sometimes to achieve this state, it helps to imagine yourself in an empty room. The room is painted pure white. The walls are white, the ceiling is white, the floor is white. There are no visible light fixtures, but the room is incredibly bright. There are no Windows.
Sounds like some new allergy medication. Ask your doctor if Tualatin is right for you. (Side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, headaches, dizziness, bloody noses, and chronic rashes. During clinical trials some patients experienced arcs of electricity emanating from their nipples.) --
The ACLU isn't getting involved because it's the ACLU, not the RCLU. Sklyarov isn't an american, so why should they care? I don't agree, but isn't it obvious? --
This seems to me to say that when our client decrypts the servers random-number challenge, it sends back the decrypted random number in the clear.
Correct me if I'm wrong... but it doesn't get transmitted as plaintext, the communication between the two machines is encrypted with blowfish or 3des. --
I guess the only benefit is convenience. You would only need to remember one passphrase for multiple machines, each (potentially) having different public/private key pairs. Or secure rsh style access. Conveeeenient. --
In a distributed OS class I took a few years ago, we split up into teams and built worms that would compete with each other. Break into a machine, suck up resources, kill the other worms, spread, repeat. Ahhh, what a great class.
but when it came time to negotiate salary, it became apparent that they wanted to pay me with a grain, water and banana allowance. When I laughed at them, they tried to persuade me with a sign on bonus consisting of a carved white rhino horn (very lovely and ornate I must admit), and a month long supply of mosquito repellant.
Bah! I'm waiting for the day when I can actually vote online. Bruce Schneier outlines a good protocol for this in Applied Cryptography. Is it just me or is this not going to happen because the average person doesn't realize how secure it is?

Or find a nonlethal ricochet modem. Perfect for protests...fire it into the center of a crowd and mow dem down.

It is believed that the issue should be resolved by 2025, when the United States of Microsoft Supreme Court dismisses the case.

Yes. 3x5" index cards. There are about a thousand old ladies who work in basement of the MS "campus" and keep things running smoothly.
Yes. Didn't you see "Pi"?
