The guy, a human being with clothes and bad breath and pimples as a kid and all of those things that level the playing field for all of us, is communicating with something 45 million miles away!
Even the most boring, predictable, well-funded case of this occurring should be celebrated with what is left of the adverturer in you.
"So what". Puh! Why exactly are you at Slashdot then?
I don't kill banana trees. I don't kill any fruit producers for that matter. I don't kill the plants in my herb garden. In fact, I nurture their lives. I don't kill chicken eggs, they haven't hatched yet. I don't kill my vegetable plants. I don't kill yogurt. In fact, I let it live inside of me.
still can in a way can't you? If you have a service running with a presence on the user's desktop that has system level permissions (e.g., Virusscan) can't a user level application get a handle to it?
agreed. By definition we're less violent because we're omnivores. If we don't have to kill all of our food to survive, we're already doing better than most carnivores.
Unless of course, there is a violent side to farming that I've manage to overlook.
Comparing Woz to two dead brothers, that's nice. Certainly they couldn't have picked up any more knowledge after their little event horizon. I bet the Wrights had more understanding at the end of their lives than some junior roger ramjet who picked up well after they got the first few props started.
A tendency to innovate, discover, and explore does not go away when you get older, the limelight does. And just because you're not aware of his personal thoughts along the way doesn't make his conclusions irrelevant.
Agreed. These folks are ignoring two interesting facts about universities in the US. First, CS is a male dominated degree. Second, there is an across the board decline on males going to college in the US. That does more to explain the problem than anything.
that's exactly what their doing. See, they don't want to publish their code, so they point to Windows and say, we can't comply so we're pulling out. They're hoping the state strikes the requirement in response so they can come back in without ever mentioning the integrity or quality of their own code.
Please tell me someone capitalizing on open source voting is standing around to seize the opportunity.
1) Each US ISP makes a subnet available for the under 18 crowd that a parent can attach to their dialup, dsl or cable modem account. Let's call it a kidnet. Client software is used to route the computer through the main route or the kidnet route depending on login credentials. When one of the kids uses the computer, its dns shows up in the kidnet subnet, e.g., 20-43-56-11-home.kidnet.attbi.net.
2) A law is put in place requiring adult content providers to block requests from any computer within a kidnet subnet. Stiff fines, threat of closure, etc.
3) Consumers interested in this services submit complaints to a kidnet abuse email address, e.g., kidnet-abuse@comcast.net, identifying unfiltered porn sites either not complying with the law or outside the US jurisdiction.
It would be straight-forward for a content provider to filter clients based on a know list of kidnet subnets and dns names. No 1st amendment issues would be relevant since it's the consumer that requests the service.
The point is, tag the kids on the network, not the content providers.
Boy, you completely missed that. The point is the South *outwardly endorses* racism. The fact that it exists in Chicago or outside of the South is irrelevant. And besides I'm pretty sure that Boston already has integrated schools and you're quoting the past. I'm talking about present day.
It's more like Microsoft is putting wooden Trojan horses out for us to take into our castles. Instead of leaving them alone after we've brought them in, we're setting them on fire to provide lighting and heat.
So they hemmorage dollars and we benefit from it. Think Netpliance IOpener.
Because it's bashing a part of the nation which outwardly supports racism. And mind-numbingly simplistic religious views. And Intelligent Design. And superficial politeness.
A man cannot change the color of his skin, but he can recognize the stupidity of his behavior. It's not appropriate to make fun of something a person cannot change, only that which they can. Geek.
We're multiplexing addresses with NAT and DHCP. If everyone's address is permanent, DNS already maps names to addresses. Your IM client would not use a central server, your buddy list entries would map to IPs.
The list of those with the service is in your adress book. We don't ring the switchboard and ask for LordEd any more, we patch the call ourselves with LordEd's phone number.
What do you mean by this exactly? Have you noticed that the US has sole-sourced a lot of this spending, and that almost all of this spending goes to American contractors? If the money is "spent" by running security contracts, research, and tactical response services companies that are US based who then pay employees that pay the taxes funding this "spending", is it really spending? Or spinning?
Let's start calling this churning instead okay? When the US is threatened, the churn rate goes up. The risk is assumed by lenders to the government. If the government defaults, it's the lenders which lose. And at this point, most of the lenders are foreign.
It would be different if the majority of the money was passed out of the country to companies from other countries. And if the majority of the money used to fund this was ultimately US. But neither is the case.
Massively simplified, but you get the idea. It's actually with purpose that Haliburton, SAIC, Loc-Mart and these other co's are taking in massive revenue. The US is fascist, there's not much difference between the government having the money and the companies having it. An enemy looking to bankrupt the US thinks their making progress, but their not.
Okay, hold up a second. Are you high? Because they're suggesting you vote for people who believe software patents shouldn't exist, explaining their position and the candidates they have in mind, and you're saying their biased because the recommendations they give aren't completely randomized? Well duh! Of course their biased - towards people who don't want software patents! And two of the given candidates in one slot supported their efforts so they suggested both.
Yes you do. The advantages of being able to develop on my local linux notebook and deploy to a Solaris cluster should not be overlooked simploy because it's important at dev time, not production time. Recompiling on another platform means retesting on that other platform. I'd rather run my unit and integration tests off the production & staging environments, load test in staging and no testing in production. This way unit and integration can be part of my build process (http://maven.apache.org/ and not something I have to redo on the final production hardware.
It's not our fault they lumped various categories of votable awards into one gigantiturd as oppose to allowing votes on individual polls. But it does work out in the end if people guess on the options they don't know, since statistically speaking, guessing washes out as noise.
Now, mind you, from slashdot, that's a lot of noise, but noise nonetheless.
I disagree. I don't have access to the thoughts of the speaker of the house. I have another channel to receive his agenda. And while slightly more communication is a good thing, it's not good enough to affect the disconnect between Americans and their representatives.
And try to keep away from inflammatory garbage will you? I'm serious. We already have enough channels, we need efficient backchannels.

Security 101. If you don't use it, turn it off.
In broader terms, this makes Windows far more like Linux and Unix - and even the MacOS -
or DOS and windows 3.1.
*ducks*

How about a three part solution?
1) Each US ISP makes a subnet available for the under 18 crowd that a parent can attach to their dialup, dsl or cable modem account. Let's call it a kidnet. Client software is used to route the computer through the main route or the kidnet route depending on login credentials.

It would be straight-forward for a content provider to filter clients based on a know list of kidnet subnets and dns names. No 1st amendment issues would be relevant since it's the consumer that requests the service.
The point is, tag the kids on the network, not the content providers.
Thoughts?

Moron indeed.

And what about the non-gay men? Do try to keep up with the data, will you?

Yeah, I know, flamebait.
"spends tons of money"
What do you mean by this exactly? Have you noticed that the US has sole-sourced a lot of this spending, and that almost all of this spending goes to American contractors?

And if you strip out the inflammatory slant and the "entertainment news", you can go back in time!

NoSoftwarePatents.com randomizes the vote selections it suggests that bear no relevance to the problem, as someone indicated in their original post.
Hit your refresh button next time your at the suggested selection page.

And your overlooking the JIT as well.
it's neither actually. It's a demonstrated lack of load testing. The db is simply misconfigured.

What's the point of putting your ideas out if noone can tell you when you've missed something? A little pompous don't you think?
