No, the mucking forons hired the CEO of Reebok to run Palm, who promptly declared that Palm's biggest asset is its brand, and hence, all $$ should be poured into marketing, and slashed R&D. That's why there was nothing after Palm Vx for a long time.
You are a Mucking Foron aren't you? There is no Slavery Exported - their wages locally are far better than what they can find doing other work. They choose to live in a dorm style environment. They are free to look for other work.
Such a load of assumptions in your statement. The problem is that it is impossible to get to "when properly done" with x86 hardware. Go look into how much VMware writes *EMULATION* crap for parts of the hardware it cannot virtualize.
LPARs and such or solaris zones are all done properly.
x86 emulation is, and forever will be, a rotten stinking hack.
you need two. Something must generate traffic and IP addresses, and nothing is better than busybox on another linksys constantly pinging the first wifi.
That is not it. Ultimately what the ISPs want to do is to block all media files from outside their network so you can only "consume" media from them, turning you into yet another Cable Network subscriber (so only movies, tv shows, music, etc from their servers, at a premium, of course).
After all, is there any other better way of guaranteeing that they blocked piracy at all levels?
Stepping back a little, your post is probably mostly hyperbole. I imagine you have a difficult job working with difficult customers, who on occasion make things much harder and less pleasant that they could be. Guess what? Most people face this most days. Your profession does not have a monopoly. Try to relax, ease up on the profanity, deal with your control issues, and engage your customers more constructively. You may find it improves things.
Funnily enough, my team loves me, most of my internal customers love me, and even people who call up ranting about suing the company ended that phone call discussing fishing in Alaska with me.
However, people who actively lie to me, or misuse things like "but you said" when I did not, do not like me, especially when I point out to them I did not say whatever it was their imagination caused them to think so. Even when they are two levels above my paygrade.
I even went against my VP once. Pissed the fuck out of him. Nearly got fired. But then, guess what. The chief attorney came back and told me - good job. When people ask for stupid stuff, it is good that you stop them. Preventing the company from being exposed to multimillion dollar lawsuits is apparently a good thing.
And you are still a dumb ass when it comes to security. Spouting stupid key words does not make you seem more impressive.
Really? A number of laptops I have used have the "please download from your manufacturer and not us" page displayed when I try to download the latest and greatest video drivers.
Secondly, there are laws that would put me in jail if I was negligent in protecting corporate data.
Thirdly, I'm not paid to troubleshoot your screwed up home network.
Fourthly, you have no fucking clue what you are talking about. Yes, basic key separation is superior, but you do not protect a high security key with 4 digits, especially when research shows that 80% of the time, you can get in within 10 tries. Your phone is not a PC, but it is storing data that needs to be secured like a PC. So suck it up.
Fifth (not fifthly? where's your superior consistency?) you are still a moron. Once someone gets into your network, they can always find some other server and jump off that into your internal network.
I do not give my customers what they want, because it would go against audit and established policies that come down from senior management. I give them what they need. For example, you, Mr. Superior Dick, needs a kick in the ass.
Are you not aware the constitution does not apply on school property? [yes, a little facetious, but check out all those body searches and so on that schools are allowed to do].
This just extends the "school property" to a teacher's facebook, is all.
What ever you write becomes a work for hire if you were working on it for that company, unless you have other agreements in place. This is just default behavior. Look at it from their perspective, they hired something to come in and implement X. Shouldn't they own the work that was done to support X?
Now, if you used an existing framework, sure, you inherit whatever license that came with it.
BUT THIS IS NOT WHAT THE OP STATED. HE CREATED IT WHILE HE WAS WORKING THERE!
Not if that work was done to support the work you do at work.
I have read the GPL too. That is not what is in question here. What is in question here is who owns the code.
If you write code (at home, on your own time, blah blah blah) to support the work you have to do at work, guess how the courts are going to look at it?
You should talk to a lawyer, especially around the whole concept of "work for hire"
Slashdot Mirror
Do you work in the finance industry?
What Microsoft has put into Xbox = $x
What profits Microsoft has realized from Xbox = $y
If $y is less than $x, then Microsoft has not received a positive return yet.
Is that so difficult to understand?

problem is parts of the x86 design/hardware can *NOT* be virtualized. You then run emulation stuff.

ext4 isn't the problem. Try it with reiserfs :)
They were having problems with iso/tar balls or something or the other, on a unvirtualized machine.
Really fun.

no traffic - boring
lots of traffic - interesting

Interix/UNIX has been part of windows for a long time now.

Why not? In his world, unicorns fart rainbows too.

Stop whining about your own laws. If you don't like them, get them changed.
Apparently you live in a world that is far removed from the reality I live in. No wonder you are such a superior dick
Really? A number of laptops I have used have the "please download from your manufacturer and not us" page displayed when I try to download the latest and greatest video drivers.
You might want to check out the meaning of the word "facetious".
Firstly, you are a superior dick.
Secondly, there are laws that would put me in jail if I was negligent in protecting corporate data.
Thirdly, I'm not paid to troubleshoot your screwed up home network.

Are you normally an asshole too?
Send a copy of your resume to your grandmother...

depreciation. Also it's an "asset" and an "asset" can't just go missing.

So don't change the subject.
Fat. Smoking. All that "lifestyle" diseases.
You go figure out how to treat fat people as fat.
since I was there previously, I know there wasn't. Microsoft was trying very hard to get a site license going though.
Not if that work was done to support the work you do at work.

Eh? He worked for them? Wrote this to support his work for them. You live in a very strange world.
