Just for notice, I've been using win2k on my home and work machine for years now with only one reliable blue screen (bad drivers for Creative's DVD card) and one reliable semi-hang (one of my Celerons would peg at 100% when it got too hot *oops*)
WinXP we managed to crash the first day we tried it here at work. Sure win2k has applications crash on it, but the OS itself seems to extricate itself from the crash eligantly.
Not all Dalmatians. My family has had 2 pure bred Dalmatians, and they most definately could fight their way out of pretty much everything. They were also two very smart dogs. The first learned how to open doors with knobs. (by placing his front feet on the top of the knob, and then falling to the right side, either pushing or pulling as needed.)
He then proceeded to teach the other one.
They also quickly grew a little deaf (one of the reasons they are "fire engine" dogs. The other is that they cannot howl.). The only possible genetic problems I've noticed in the dogs was a propensity for arthritis early (10-11 yrs old).
True though, they were never show dogs, and only the one ever had parentage who were show dogs.
I mean honestly. Why would you focus on physical aspects of your childhood? There's no reason that's preferred over geeklike activities except societial pressures. And the world has always known of rebels to societial pressures...
People will be different, even perfect clones are different as they live, even in the womb. They will have individual weaknesses, different problems to overcome....
This should just make sure they have a better shot not to be eliminated by something they cannot control, such as debilitating genetic illness (ungenetic illness will still strike, as will stupidity)
for reference: I am a long time windows user (4 years) before using a *nix system. I am a win2k admin by trade with 4 bsd machines at home.
Moving to X (enlightenment) the biggest change someone has to get used to between windows and X is the paste. It *is* pretty annoying. That and to close the window you now have to click on the upper *left*, but who ever needs to close windows when you've got 4 desktops?
I also don't use X terribly much except for just having multiple terms open, and the occasional mozilla so there's probably more unintuitive stumbleblocks, but the cut&paste is the only thing that isn't easily picked up and remembered...
It also depends on the work done of course. My company employs a few driver maintainers. Why? Because our products require good knowledge of system internals. While driver writing doesn't guarantee such knowledge, it's usually a good sign. Especially if it works.
Companies always are looking for coders that can actually make things work, and unfortunately a cs degree does not guarantee that. Then again I do not work at a huge company, nor have I any wish to.
Re:AMD was right to grab every DEC Alpha engineer

It's (Almost) Hammer Time

· Score: 3, Interesting
If I remember correctly, one of the things AMD picked up from the Alpha Engineers was memoryCPU tech that has already been used on the MP boards. Each CPU has it's own memory link, so they don't fight or clog one.
AFAIK Alphas died because of business problems, not technical ones.
*nod* Of course the idea of ISP's being liabel is absurd. That's their point. It's absurd, just as absurd that the file sharing software is inherently evil.
I wonder what would happen if people made a UI for opening and sharing SMB shares on windows machines, and then using those shares for sharing... It's just using the software microsoft provided, and telling others about it.
I don't support it, but if I were a game designer, I'd prefer those to buy my game that could, and if they could not I'd at least like them to play it.
Umm, yes, I would have little to no problems running a large webserver unfirewalled on the internet. I'd still like a router in between for routing particularly troublesome people to never never land, but that is once again more in response to DoS, and content control as compared to client security.
The concern then comes to the security of the http daemon, but that was always a concern; firewall or no.
Client firewalls are total bunk. Let me rephrase. Nearly every client firewall does the exact opposite of what it is supposed to do.
To secure a machine you shut down services. This closes open ports, and prevents untrusted user input. They hit a closed port, and they get dropped by the OS proper.
Client firewalls do the same thing, only they are not OS proper, and they usually do packet inspection as well. Thus spending much more CPU power to do something simple like dropping packets. What would I an attack do then? Right. I'd send odd packets at the firewall trying to peg your CPU.
I may not control your machine, but I can probably make sure you can't use it.
*nod* though the survey pointed that most people that could afford the games (and live in the US, or other place where the game are available) bought the games rather than burning them.
ActivePerl is also included on most every Microsoft "resource kit" and it's "services for unix". I'm also fairly certain it's available for free with any level msdn subscription. So while still being "unFree" it's certainly cheap. Maybe not winzip cheap, but cheap enough. (I could also bet you could find it(maybe not the most modern version) for free on Microsoft's site if you looked around)
AFAIK the only other version of perl available for windows until late was the one bundled with Cygwin. Cygwin itself was unfortunately a little buggy and kludgey until about a year ago, but is now very very nice, and welcome on my machine.
Actually thousands of college and high school students cannot afford $50 copies of every game under the sun. I believe a study was done 2 years ago(?) that showed that most warez was done at college (big pipes), usually private ($$$), engineering (saavy), places.
Most buyers of the games were parents of younger soon to be private engineering college students, or former private engineering college students. Go figure.
I wouldn't say suck really. They're just overutilized. I'd also assume they come under attack fairly often.
When you get a few hundred thousand users on a server it's going to slow down, no matter the code or connection... While 3rd party server apps might be faster for small groups, I doubt they will be as fast as the 'official' server on compriable equipment with a few hundred thousand users. And if it is faster, I'd be suspicious about what features/preventative measures were not included to get the speed gains.
I believe they are trying to determine if email/IM is more like a conversation, or more like snail-mail.
In PA both parties must consent. ianal, but I believe case history says by sending snail-mail, you automatically consent to the other person getting a copy/recording. Just talking to them does not do this, thus requiring both parties' consent for recording.
Actually I think the judges that said that are *quite* intelligent, and *very* in touch with the internet.
Let me paraphrase the judge's quote:
"Digital messages, pictures, music, and information in general can be copied perfectly. If you can read it; you can have it. If you see it; you can have it. If you hear it; you can have it. If you have it, then you can do whatever you'd like with it."
This is computer knowledge, and brought about frequently on slashdot in regard to music encryption schemes and the such. The judge is just saying that the guy has a reasonable expectation of privacy, until it gets to the recipient. A better analogy would be snail-mail. In transit nobody can touch it, but once the person gets the mail they can do whatever they'd like with it: burn it, save it, copy it, or forward it to the police.
Actually it is free speech. Constitutionally protected speech even. The solicitation is illegal though in Pennsylvania (moral arguments aside). He'd still be in trouble if he just used hand motions to communicate that he wanted sex from her (the 15 year old). It's not illegal afaik to solicit sex from a policeman pretending to be a 15 year old girl, and depending on how it was done could constitute entrapment; but the two are seperate issues.
I think the guy might be able to get out of it (plausible denial that the person IMing her was him, plausible denial of knowledge of age, etc) but I think wiretap or illegal s&s does not apply from what excite tells of it...
Maybe not *many* more comedy possibilities... I mean South Park was great in movie form so they could discuss swearing and the such, but I'm sure hearing Cartman say PigFucker would get old after a few seasons... but then again people said the simpsons would get old after a few seasons...
I've always wondered why there aren't more "adult cartoons" on more mainstream stations. Not even pr0nt00ns, just anime or even serious animation aimed at 14-40 year olds on one of the HBO's. There's certainly a market for it.
I found it slightly amusing that Sony's reply descented due to the "common licensing" provision. Basically they wanted to make sure their preferential licensing, and their ability to extend *their* monopolistic tendancies was not affected by the ruling...

I totally agree, though I've never accidentally closed/minimized... and am used to windows style close/minimize.
Middle click for most modern mice is clcik both buttons. I am used to putty, which is highlight, and rightclick. Simpler, if only slightly.
for reference: I am a long time windows user (4 years) before using a *nix system. I am a win2k admin by trade with 4 bsd machines at home.
