Well, I can easily see that happening if you run a private net (10/8, 192.168/16, whatever) behind the proxy. In other words, it's a less than brilliant approach..
I'll definitely shell out $25 for this, as soon as the web site comes back on line. In the mean time, this article made me remember HackersLab @ Free Hacking Zone.
... and let's not forget that most people have at least one machine at home and at least one at work or at school. As an example, I use twelve IP addresses at home, four in my office and about sixty for servers.
I agree with you, Carl doesn't know what he's talking about.
I think the answer's fairly simple; there aren't enough developers and development projects that utilize the functional programming paradigm to raise media interest. Alas.
I don't work for Franz Inc. or any of their partners, but I urge you to take a look at their CL implementation. I have delivered four successful projects partly based on their Allegro solution. It can be easily interfaced through CORBA, which means I can write parts of any project in CL, using ORBLink to interface them with a Java front-end.
Very valid point. I routinely swap my keymap from my native Swedish to English to speed up coding (try writing an opening brace [AltGr+7] on an MS Unnatural Keyboard without breaking something..)
Another point; how easy would it be to move one hand to the mouse and back compared to the same operation on a standard keyboard?
Just great. A nutcase/troll using one of the biggest disasters in history to promote his own bigotry.
Little boy, if you're the good Christian you claim then you should be FUCKING busy right now praying for a couple of thousand souls instead of trolling here.
I've come across filters like that, that seemed to only filter out "localhost" and "127.0.0.1", not realizing that the entire 127/8 is loopback. I hope abuse@127.32.64.128 liked any resulting spam...:-)
I see a lot of people saying things like "if you're not a criminal, then don't let it get to you, you have nothing to hide, right?", which worries me. Quick question for the privacy exhibitionists who agree with that statement: Would you be equally in favor of having your e-mail screened, to make sure the contents are not illegal?
You don't have to be much of a conspiracy theorist to see that this easily extends to outright McCarthy-and-Orwell practices. Add some storage and you can easily track an individuals doings over time. Add some guilt by association and members of a TLA agency will be on you if you make the mistake of asking a shady individual for the time.. and what would happen if you happened to even resemble a wanted person and wasn't carrying any ID should be fairly obvious
No matter what the rationale behind CCTV cameras might be, it is an invasion of privacy.
If you want your post to be scored 1+, simply don't post AC. As for the rest of your whine, there's only so many stories that get posted here, and if you have to cut, hey, why not cut a fairly speculative story? It's not like it won't get posted here if and when it really happens. And yes, I've had a shitload of submissions rejected as well.
Oh, and just for the record: Linus is Finnish:-)

Yes, the technology is far from new. We had the same kind of setup when I worked as a hospital tech way back when -- a generator driven from the mains grid powering a flywheel-generator combo that would give us about 45 seconds of power after a grid failure. More than enough time for the system to power up one of the diesel engines, wait for power to stabilize and switch the feed.
What's new about this is only the scale and the fact that there is no secondary power source to fail over to. I'm not awestruck by that.
I work for a software engineering company with about 150 people spread out over two floors. We run the entire shop as open areas. Not cubicles, not offices - just an open area with plenty of power points, network drops and cellphones (wireless LAN forthcoming).
The advantage? Well, first of all, you're not limited by space constraints. When forming a new team, you simply put the right number of desks together, bring your computer, your cabinet, your chair and your coffee mug. With the right office furniture (pie-slice shaped desks), you can create a war camp for any number of people (well, at least six to twelve of them). Not being constrained by cubicle walls or office walls means being able to bring everyone (including testers, project managers and technical writers) into the team from square one without wasting real estate by having large war rooms that might not be filled. It also makes it much easier to move things like big whiteboards and 19" cabinets around.
Disadvantages? Very few. Some people don't like working in open areas and some people aren't team members. For those people, there are a few private offices that can be reserved for any period of time. There are also a few small rooms (1mx1m) scattered around the office, used for taking private phone calls.
As for privacy -- well, that's an issue (at least if you plan to visit hotgritsonnatalieportman.com during working hours). The solution is to be the first or second person to move into the new war camp, to be sure you can get your back against a wall:-)
"But clearly, the initial database opens the door to all kinds of possibilities, much like the initial mapping of the human genome has opened up huge new areas in the realm of biotechnology."
If this toilet DB thing develops in the same way the HGP and other genome initiatives have, it's just a matter of time before some patent-squatter patents "an island-based mechanism for instant bowel relief, complete with a method for localizing such a device in the proximity", and then we're REALLY in deep shit.
I work for a company that's in bed with several telcos and am more or less forced to know WAP by heart. A few points:
WAP does not "provide an IP layer" because WAP is
designed to be carried by, among other things, UDP/IP.
Micro$oft never understood WAP. Remember MSNet?? They did the same thing to WAP. Until the aquisition of some small Swedish company they were dead against WAP and wanted to use their in-house protocol suite (built by one of the people behind the Halloween papers) instead.
WAP, or more accurately WML, will be unified with HTML in an unholy XML alliance. The WAP-WML charter of the WAP Forum are working with the IETF on this.
Saying that WAP only offers "one application" means admitting to not reading any Forum documents or even executive summaries (sorry, that was uncalled for). No, you can't finger a phone or ftp to it, but you get web content and e-mail. Pushed, if desired. Put that in a two-way pipe and smoke it;)
WAP means "Where Are the Phones", everyone knows that;)
The industry has put so much prestige, time, money and manpower into WAP that we'll be seeing it for at least five years. With WTA underway and new carriers being added (give me GPRS or give me death!) the telcos are bound to be able to create enough attention to keep WAP alive.

Depends on how you define "moon". IIRC, there are at least four satellites orbiting Earth (not counting Cruithne, due to the silly orbit).
It's just not the same without Kryten.. *sigh* Whomever is hosting it now doesn't do the program format justice. IMHO.
Well, I can easily see that happening if you run a private net (10/8, 192.168/16, whatever) behind the proxy. In other words, it's a less than brilliant approach..
You don't need to define an interface (and .NET certainly doesn't provide one you have to implement) to use reflection.
IIRC, CLR uses the manifest to verify that you can actually get what you requested from the assembly you specified.
String s = new String ("Hello, nerd!");
char[] a = s.ToCharArray();
unsafe
{
char *p = a;
do
{
*p = '#';
p++;
}
while ('!' != *p);
}
You were saying?
(No, the code above hasn't been compiled or tested. That's left as an exercise for the reader.)

Bah, it all depends on how you configure it.

Exceptionally relevant comment, considering that what Motox reacted to was the violation of the Debian constitution.
