O.k Let's see an anti-gun FPS. You an (FBI agent) with a Tazer and sleeping gas are supposed to single handedly elminate a Wacoish compound of gun loving fanatics that are prepared to shoot you to preserve their rights.
What is this thing with "Made in the USA?" Don't get me wrong I like my country, but I'd much rather have a "Made in Texas", "Made in Arkansas", "Made in Washington", "Made in New York", or "Made in Flordia" sticker. If I saw groceries with a grown in my state sticker, I'm more likely to buy them. (They "should" be cheaper too.) I know almost everything has a "Made in China" or "Made in other Asian Country." Why can't we market our states stuff like that? Those in China may had the USA policies and lastest trickes, but have they ever heard of Arkansas, Oklahoma, or Kansas? There are companies that make things out of states other than TX, FL, CA, and NY. Those four states are by my guess the most globally recongized. We may be able to sneak our products in if they aren't labeled as "Made in USA."
Even those of in the USA aren't happy with our government's decisions. No wonder we buy things made in China. China's government must be doing things that those in the US like. Otherwise, we wouldn't support their economy for moral reasons.
You are small, compared to a corporation and a government you are nano-scale. Your life is tiny, your labors are tiny, your production is tiny, your marketing reach is zero to none. You are a factory, but on the nano-scale. Make what you need yourself, say good-bye to Nike, and fall from sight.
If you are referring to yourself, please start a reality TV show. I don't watch TV myself, but I could say that my mom would watch you do all that. Heck, I have to go to her place just to watch you grow your own food, cook and clean your house.
Nah, she'd make me clean her house, fold clothes, help with dinner and the dishes. If only I had webcams all through her house, we could sell it as Reality TV.
As for the whole Java debacle... Well, if they can find a way to make money from it, okay. But if not, they need to stop flogging a dead horse, and just bury it.
They should sell everything relating to "Java" to IBM for $20-$30 billion and walk away happy.
If you don't have anything good to say, put it in a presentation.
In other words, give all bad news via power point.
Instead of sending out a server failure message to you CIO via e-mail, pager, or cell phone, you should send him a power point presentation explaning that your most important mission cricial server just died. The said power point presentation should last longer than the downtime and recovery time of said server.
Valenti actually seemed to understand the issues pretty well, and he gave pretty cogent answers to the interviewers questions. The only thing that seemed to stump/baffle him, was the fact that there are currently no Linux DVD players on the market.
How long until the MPAA releases their own "Free" as in IE Linux DVD player? That may be a valid thing for them to do that way they can claim in court that there is an "approved" Linux DVD player.
However, in terms of text messaging or Instant Messages, they are less useful because of the inherent one-way nature of the devices. However, my wife sends IMs to my SPOT watch all the time.
You hit the nail on the head. I could just see supervisors of all types loving that feature. Forget how annoying e-mail can be, wait until your boss sends task assignments to your watch. (And expects it to be done by the time you glance at it.)
You know know that I think about. What special highway measuring devices are on your truck? It'd be nice if a subset of that could be mandated on all vehicles and with mandated GPS all vehicles on the road could detect and report problems to DOT or what ever agency monitors the highways and streets. It would be nice knowing that streets were repaired based on the number of cars that are actually reporting problems.
Nah, I just just don't want you to complain to people that might change laws. Why don't you have a special trailer for all your equipment? Then, any truck could pull it along the highway.
I don't mind folks using the highway; I mind them complaining to those lawmakers because then laws get made that I'm supposed to obey.
Damn, kids won't be able to move cause they will be so fat without the excerise that carrying around 40-50 lbs of books daily for school does for them. It may be nice that thousands of books can fit into a digital format and be moved, but think would you want 6 required credits of PE for your own good?
I can't believe they could use the phrase 'international warez syndicates' with a straight face.
Shh, they are trying to confuse the higher ups into thinking this is an international group for war. That way they can get some of that homeland defense money. IF they can get them labeled as terriorists, they could get the government to pay them to find, download warez, and test warez. Uh, collecting evidence and uh, making sure it really is a copyright violation rather than a really large scanned image with a stupid name.
More like having this thing scheduled for 3-4 months in advance, but having some one sneak in a month early and connect some custom embeded server directly to a "secured" network jack. Maybe they just replace the network jack with another that is the custom server. How many users would notice if there computers still worked? I wonder how long it would take before the admins noticed. Would the NSA guys remember to pick it up after the contest?
So what should we do send our military into LA and New York to practice? If I recall corrently Northern Ireland is part of England, but there are folks that don't like that so have been fighting it.
Think about how much practice our military would be getting if the Waco thing was still going on. Or if it spread alittle and we had a few random bombs in every large city for the past decade. We may freak about Ashcroft because he seems that type but in government. But that's really what he is trying to prevent. We've been lucky that all we've had lately (past decade) are school shootings and a "handful" of mostly domestic terriorists acts. It could be much worse.
Why the hell do you have expensive equipment hanging off the back of your vechile? Why not the front? I'd love to see your bosses reaction if some one ruins your equipment, but doesn't toch your car and keeps on driving.
Actually, I love seeing that almost everyone that really complains about interstate drivers are those that have to work on the road. I don't care that you have to work or that truckers, salesmen, or highway repair crews have to work on the interstates all day long.
I got my license, and I can drive on the highway too! If you don't like the way people drive, change jobs and don't commute.
Of course, the *real* reason it died was because I learned it...
Please, avoid learning C and C++. Why don't you spend your time learning everything about Windows and Microsoft that you can? Worst case is that MS dies because Linux takes over. Come on, this would work, let's use your bad luck against MS!
Ah, the good old days. Million-dollar signing bonuses. Limos for job prospects. Corvettes for hot programmers fresh out of college. Penthouse suites with the company logo in genuine Italian marble.
Why did it ever have to end?
Oh, wait, don't answer that...
Right, we've not been seeing the forest for the trees. Everyone stop all "free" development for users! Remember the new golden rule: You want me or my code; you gotta pay for me! We don't want MS to die. We want to be hired by the Dark Side. They make alot more money and can afford better toys.
If this guy keeps quiting everytime he finds out the military uses the same things he does, he will never be employeed again.
Computers they use windows, linux, and IBM stuff. So he can't use computers. They use office supplies, chairs and desks. He can't do any white collar work. They have kitchens so he can't work in food service. They have trash cans and cleaning supplies. He can't be a janitor. Let's see they use shovels. So he can't dig ditches. Lets see what is left? Farmer? Maybe he could become a monk if all else failed.
Just because the "military" uses something doesn't mean that the "something" is good or evil. The "good or evil" is the usage that the something is put to. People can do good or evil. Things just exist.
Reverse engineering is the only way at the moment do so at the moment since the Supreme Being hasn't opened the source to the API.
It is open sourced. You have all that DNA and RNA. You are freely open to make copies and modify it as you wish. (Remember sexual reproducation involves coping and modifing DNA.) Supreme Being isn't responsible if we don't get it right. Supreme Being being the Supreme Hacker Guru, doesn't use source code. SB programs directly in DNA and doesn't comment code. It's all there in those millions of DNA seqs. I can't make any sense to it. Can you?
Am I the only one that watches TV only when visiting family? I never watch live TV now. I watch TV 5-6 times a year depending on how often I visit my mother-in-law or my mom. At home, I play PS, read, and play PC games. O.k. I also run around after my kids making sure they don't things to get me in trouble with the wife such as spilling baby oil infront of every doorway in the house.

once it's stripped of the naughty bits you have a very powerful retrovirus, the most powerful in nature.
That we know of!
Just wait until we get finished tinkering with it!

O.k. Here is the big question. How much would it now cost MS to buy Google? And will they?
Thank goodness Google isn't in Russia, then I'd have to ask. Would Google be buying MS?
As for the whole Java debacle... Well, if they can find a way to make money from it, okay. But if not, they need to stop flogging a dead horse, and just bury it.

Without oil, it would be more like Rwanda...bad shit would still happen there, but the developed world would not care.

We'd just help Israel build a big wall to keep all the terrorists out.

As far as software goes, use Open Source, or pirate it. Nobody is doing to drag you off to jail for using a pirated copy of windows 95, or word 97.
Please, if you are going to encourage them, encourage them to install 98SE and Office 2000.

I thought the FCC regulated just about all electronics.

Honestly, who cares? The guy has strong feelings about the war in Iraq. And just because he runs a LUG his opinion is God's word?
Yeap, I wonder if he is also a DM as well.
If this guy keeps quiting everytime he finds out the military uses the same things he does, he will never be employeed again.
