There would be issues opening/closing the sessions in which people would get screwed over anyway.
2) "Why do I have to set up two separate vhosts for http://example.com/ and https:/// example.com/ when they're the same website?"
Well, because they should be different sites. Why would you have secure content being fed over an unencrypted route? Are you stupid or just want to dick around with your website?
3) "Why isn't there a simple "log out" method for Basic authentication? We've only been asking for it since 1993."

Silly to support, but why should someone just drop support for a functionality when there's no reason to?
I would go on, but this PDF::sigh:: file seems to be written by a 14 year old, even though it has Asbury College written all over it. Maybe he should start using ISS?
The increase in demand for employees posessing the special skills needed to fix this problem will subsequently raise the expected salary for software engineers and IT professionals. I'd say this gives us something to toast and look forward to.
I hope you're not looking forward to::cough::...job security.
It's called a severance package. Usually the higher ups get paid up the ass when they leave. This usually rides along some nice contract that the guy has to sign.
Meanwhile, the clients sit in the clear. We protect them by boosting their immunity levels so that they can exist in harsher conditions. They run secure OSs, fully patched with current anti-virus protection. We assign each user a central identity, which is authenticated and validated before accessing the internal DMZ. We use central directories to manage identity privileges and PKI certificates. Existing systems, such as Active Directory, allow for low-cost private certificate authorities where PKI isn't well-established. We also log and monitor the activity and enforce acceptable application behavior.
Unfortunately, Verizon Wireless cripples their phones so that you have to use their fee-based service in order to add new ringtones, or to transfer the pictures you take with the camera.
Unfortunately, you can easily buy a data cable w/ software to hook up to your computer, which lets you transfer pictures, movies, ring tones, address book, etc. My friend and I use it on our samsung phones.
The woman is suing the government for depriving her of her ability to make an income in her current profession.
But don't you see the paradox in this whole mess?!
They lady is claiming that NASA deprived her of future monetary gains because they blew part of this comet up. BUT, if she wins, then NASA's action would have actually *caused* her significant monetary gains (300million due to her belief in her profession). So in fact, it is impossible to win based on her claims, since if she does win, then it would simply prove her whole story false.
If she does win, then I predict that the whole universe will cave in on itself... that is, if astrology is true. But we all how that goes, so I can sleep easy tonight.
The article has a statistic, which is hardly a fact. This statistic is also used to make some sort of arbitrary logical conjecture. Going by number of patents per billion in world population is not a good measure.
and I fail to see where scale has anything to do with this argument. Which scale do you speak of?
You can't be Franklin anymore and invent a straw to stick out of your mouth to allow you to breathe while you're under water. People tinker all the time and come up with new ideas, but how often do they patent it because it simply isn't revolutionary compared to today's technology (hence, why Franklin could "invent" the snorkel)?
The real issue is that necessity is the mother of invention, and people are comfortable sitting in their easy chairs watching Survivor.
Yet them watching the Satellite feed to their HDTV being controlled by their IR remote while they sit in their heated/cooled/massaging lazyboy while they check their e-mail on their laptop which is connected wirelessly to their home network that's hooked up to their broadband internet connection has no trace of innovation? Like I said, you're just taking it all for granted.
Case-in-point from the article (which I summarized in my previous post): Take a modern car. "Think of the amount of computation - design, supply chain and process automation - that went into building it," Smart says. "Computations have become so incremental and abstract that we no longer see them as innovations. People are heading for a comfortable cocoon where the machines are doing the work and the innovating," he says. "But we're not measuring that very well."
C: People thinking everyone is stupid and only using that for their argument.
D: People who don't give any actual facts regarding present/current innovations (or convienently enough, don't know 99.9% of the current innovations today).
E: People who don't realize that it's hard as hell to be a back-yard inventor since innovations must be on a larger scale because of current technology.
Seriously, focus on any single industry and do some research, then try and say that there haven't been a large number of innovations or we're slowing down. Medical, automotive, aerospace, computer technology, chemical...
The problem is that we have so much technology today that all the innovation gets hidden behind the seemingly simple devices that we use. There's plenty of innovation... it goes on every single day when engineers are working on their product, you just don't appreciate it anymore.
Before you continue thinking, ask yourself "how does this contribute to society?"
Neither of them directly do. Running will because of forced advances in nutrition and the understanding of the body. Reciting pi only shows how much you can cram in someone's brain.
It seems simple enough. Basically you're replacing components with ones that are better with no major rewiring of the circuitry. Diodes with faster switching times, add noise reducing capacitors, gold terminals instead of nickel or tin, replace the op-amps to get better slew rates and less distortion... etc. All this is pretty much what the more expensive models would have done anyway.
This is a good general reference for those who aren't afraid of electronics. But, I strongly warn against it for anyone who really doesn't know what they're doing (especially the ones who can't solder). These components are simple enough, and swapping identical devices shouldn't be too hard, but going from schematic to PCB is very challenging if you're not used to it.
On a side note... Favorite quote: "Plug it in and turn it on. No sparks or smoke? Terrific!"
Maybe, but you still have to route it. So, you can pick your own IP... if it's within a certain subnet (which with some ISPs you might already be able to get away with).
Christians don't believe they have a supernatural power. Saying you are a Jedi Knight would entail that you possess powers given to you by "the force".
Believeing in it, is another matter... but if you claim to be one, then you're either a nut of you actually have some really cool powers. Somehow I doubt that this guy has such power.
Turning of the elevation feature didn't speed it up so either that's not it, or the streaming technology is ineffecient.
Turning off the elevation mapping should speed it up anyway... but without measurements there's no point in arguing that point.
On a larger, empirical argument that has more value, there's more to it than elevation... the elevation would be simple anyway since it's usually just a monochrome bitmap (well, compressed)... no color data. Like I said befure, there's more data. Street dynamics, names, multiple resolution levels for the textures (the most complex part)... all at once. With Google maps, you just download an image for the exact zoom level you are at.
If you haven't noticed, it does download multiple resolutions before you get your final result. This is what is slowing it down.
When I said it was free, I was making a point that you can't expect a compilation of the entire world for free... they'd have to increase their current storage (at least) capacity by more than an order of magnitude.
Frankly, it's downloading more data.... that's why it is slower. It's also loading the data level by level instead of the instantaneous selected view level for a given area, which of course is slower.
Once you have the cache on your computer, this program is great... especially for free.
Remember... this is free... you can't get everything for free.
While we're at it, we'd take over Jerusalem again because we can. By that time, there would be enough backing in all the branches to do so.
That is what scares me about the republican party... there's enough extremists packed in it that they're tearing up the line between religion and government, in which the founding fathers specifically put there to prevent the Christian Republic of America from forming.
Don't get me wrong, there are tons of liberal wacko's too, but they're more about giving you more freedom to do what you want rather than forcing you to obey their views.
I agree on all counts accept one... I wouldn't even patent software.
You say it is close to a mathematical algorithm, but in my view there is no difference.
Simply because any processor acts as a simple mathematical function that takes in numbers in a base 2 format. It has an input, output, and the result is always predictable (hopefully). Because of this, it is a mathematical system and any manipulation of it (software) would be a mathematical algorithm based on a given set function (the hardware "processor").
Software is never invented, it is discovered... the series of events that occurs from a piece of software was always there since the processor allows for it and is designed for it, it's just that no one did it yet.

...or can anyone else see a face in the spectrum image?
Not saying "it's jesus!!!", but to me it seems to be looking left (its right) with its mouth open at the bottom around 6:40.
Kinda freaky to me (besides the audio).
...hasn't read the article, since the current posted article mentions *nothing* of Linux, Unix, BSD, etc...
Good job everyone!

A few issues:

Sounds like a pain in the ass to me...
Frankly, there's too many damn buzzwords.
Fernando was interested in discussing the ideas with his peers, but was concerned about vendors trying to patent his suggested fixes.
Aren't patents lovely for innovation and growth of technology?
Not to be a flame/ass/flaming-ass or whatever...
The individual countries can still regulate their own software patents, and this measure only made it so there is no EU wide guideline for sw patents.
What we really need is a directive to *ban* software patents on the EU level...

Also, many people are lactose intollerant.
Many people have food allergies. Some die from peanuts. Should no one eat peanuts now?

Read the article.
With IPv6, that may not be so far-fetched.
Maybe, but you still have to route it. So, you can pick your own IP... if it's within a certain subnet (which with some ISPs you might already be able to get away with).
Not really there chief.
