since current de facto books about programming are aging with increasing speed
I'm sorry to sound susppicious, but the concepts of programming are not out dated. The problem is tat programming has actaully become (or rather started out) incredible sophisticated and that a lot of programmers now have not been properly trained (be it by self study or a rigour CS program). And that flurry of programming books are more lke cookbooks and dont really *teach* anything anymore.
I find it rather hard to believe that Knuth's analysis of algorithms of Sorting and Searching have/will become out dated. I think his title the ART of COmputer Programming was always incredible ironic because he has done more than anyone else to turn into a real science, which it is now, and by which I mean that it has hypothesis that can now be tested. His book lay the foundation for it and I doubt any new programming book, short of specilized computer journal articles have done much to advance programming.
Let's just that wireless requires Big Company infrastructure. Make the Wireless big enough and perhaps it will be decentralized. Make it encrypted and everyone can/will use it. Make it so that no one wireless is the chokepoint and you will have redundancy that backbones can only dream about. And All this for FREE!
Of course this could be a good thing or a very bad thing.
At least the law doesnt say you have to reply to your critics.
At least you only have to hyperlink to them.
Of course, what could happen is that we might see a floweing of civil discussion or we might end up back in the stone age if slashdot flamage starts ending up in mom and pop's daily newspaper reading and everyone launches nukes for retaliation
What's funny is I am a doctor and have passed all the tests.
So yes, You are right, I should have known better than to put a 2.4 kernel on a production server. Unfortunately, i have no proper traning for server admin, just learning as I go.
The non-profit i *volunteer* for is happy with the results, but I shall endeavor to do better.
i enjoy the fact that opulence looks cheap out here. I was just surprised at the level of poverty as compared to what I thought I knew about oregon (ie advertisements made it seem like it was a bigger boulder,co)
Yes. I geuss it because I got a job that started paying well and assumed to did everyone else and then I get out here and everyone's seems dirt poor and making any show of opulence seems kind of cheap, especially on the coast
Let's cut to the chase. I moved our here and was suprised to learn how poor Oregon is financially compared to some of its neighboring states like washington and california.
If the state can save some money with open source, trust me, they are going to go for it, because right now Oregon's budget is in the pits and it does not look like it is going to get better.
yes, Microsoft and the other can bribe someone and get this bill canned, but let me assure, the seed has been planted. I think we will see this bill fail, but see a couple of initiatve (voter lead) come out of it, that will pass
I know MS are not dummies. I actually admire how quick they are, but there something very strange going on now. They know that linux is starting to hurt them. They know the economy is in shambles. They know there is a war on and security is on everyone's mind. The only thing I can think they are doing is knowlingly using the fear of the current war *and* refusing to make things more secure unless people buy their new servers. Are they really doing the equivalent of scaring little old ladies?
I've only begun leanrning unix, IM a system admin at a small non-profit. I actually find it my easier to write python scripts for things that would normally require bash scripts.
Could I hear your thoughts about this approach? Thanks
Its all CGI, anyway. Yes, he may want to do some of the stuntsm on principle, but the real action in the movie (the fights) never had a real huuman in it.
I know freebsd is good. I usue it I like it. I also use linux and like it a lot. Why is there such a difference in the number of posts when a linux release comes up versus a *BSD release. I would like to hear some thoughtful discussion
Yes everyone is pushing the 9/11 murders to get what they want, but to really understand it we need to go back to the 1950's and see this as a cold way, where anything that went against "US" was communism and needed to be destroyed and no measure however wrong and evil would not be used to stamp it out.
We are now back to the same thing. The old Cold War warriors are back (Pointdexter?) and they want it all. We can only hope that generation will eventuall die and that way thinking and living (in fear and distrust of everything) will die into the past.
But for now, dont make a mistake, this is a power grap that is so naked, that even most average citizens are seeing it for what it is and they are reacting to it. They dont want to go back to the times of "Duck and Cover", or "Duct(tape) and Cover(all ventilation)"
Bush and the old guard are really screwing the pooch on this one. Even we to to war and win(im not against) the way things have been handled, the way ashcroft and rumsfield have tried to grap everything in sight, Bush will not win re-election.
The Cold war is over, let it die, guys. This is something different. I dont know what it is , but fear and paranoia are not the way to react.
Let the medium decided how to decide this. Ie if were over the net, look at the wrappers. If over the radio, look at the spectrum. It's whats around the message that will break the message
There was no sarcasm. I mean it. I believe that SUV drivers know that there cars are more dangerous to other drivers, and willingly choose to put others at risk to protect themselves. As for trucks, I have no complaint about them as they tend to be used for work. As for snow, suburu's apparently do just fine and are not hulking monsters.
I think the socialist name calling is rather funny since you, apparently, don't understnad the meaning of socialism.
as for why I dont like SUV's please check out this link: http://www.kansas.com/mld/philly/entertainm ent/col umnists/carlin_romano/4688954.htm
I think that they are marketing the segway all wrong. Instead of it being all nice and about being a good citizen, they need to market it like SUV: Intimidation, bullying, bigness.
Think about it, The seg makes you physically,taller, bigger,and heavier. When I was watching a commercial about the segway, I saw that people on foot would automatically get out of the way of the segway person, and the segway person never even appeared to think about making room for others.
This marketing if done right would apply to the same instincts that SUV owners tend have, *and* they have money to buy one too.
I was thinking about this this morning after my mom called up and was worried because bush wanted everyone to have 3 days of supplies. This is probably what it felt like to live in the 50's. The old duck, and cover.
Anyway, What I am saying is that now only is this the new cold war, but the Old Cold War Warriors are back witha vengence. Rumsfield, McNamara.
The only good thing I can see about all of this is that the country will experience another revolution (like the 60's following the 50's) and maybe this action that congress took is a first step.
Think about it; This is a device that makes you taller, makes you physically bigger and can make other people move out of your way. I was watching the segway being used in a video promoting the segway and the thing that is most noticed is that people walking would automactically get out of the Segway's way. I have had enough of fucking SUV and the asshole driver bullying everyone else on the road. I dont want to see it happen on the sidewalk also.

Ha!

THanks!
G
Im in charge of keeping production servers up to date. Im using a 2.4.20-rc7.
should I go up tp 2.4.21
How often should I build the new kernels for production servers (should I even be using 2.4? ie, stick with 2.2)
Thanks for the Help!
let me tell ya something,
it's gonna' take more than one brilliant great idea. it actually takes like ten, of which only one works.
im helping a web hosting co. the brilliant idea wa to be non-profit. guess what happened: no profit.
now they are thinking of just selling the assets
That After reading Theo's email I got the distinct impression that he felt he fucked up and the blood money comment was just covering up.
He shot his mouth off and *they* shot back. The shock is that Theo, for once, had to suck it up.
ack! that came out all wrong.
i enjoy the fact that opulence looks cheap out here. I was just surprised at the level of poverty as compared to what I thought I knew about oregon (ie advertisements made it seem like it was a bigger boulder,co)
Yes. I geuss it because I got a job that started paying well and assumed to did everyone else and then I get out here and everyone's seems dirt poor and making any show of opulence seems kind of cheap, especially on the coast
does that mean oregon doesnt want people to move in or that they want to keep the state more 'pure'?
Let's cut to the chase. I moved our here and was suprised to learn how poor Oregon is financially compared to some of its neighboring states like washington and california.
If the state can save some money with open source, trust me, they are going to go for it, because right now Oregon's budget is in the pits and it does not look like it is going to get better.
yes, Microsoft and the other can bribe someone and get this bill canned, but let me assure, the seed has been planted. I think we will see this bill fail, but see a couple of initiatve (voter lead) come out of it, that will pass
If I understand your problem, this is a search/sort.
Have you read your knuth lately?
I know MS are not dummies. I actually admire how quick they are, but there something very strange going on now. They know that linux is starting to hurt them. They know the economy is in shambles.

I wonder what sites googles censors from the US?
Can we even find out?
I know freebsd is good. I usue it I like it. I also use linux and like it a lot.
Why is there such a difference in the number of posts when a linux release comes up versus a *BSD release.
I would like to hear some thoughtful discussion

The Cold war is over, let it die, guys.
This is something different. I dont know what it is , but fear and paranoia are not the way to react.
I would appreciate hearing from you all
nice. Is there a place we can place slashdot highlights as this surely ranks as one of the best slashdot posts
Move!
They are web-based.
Let the medium decided how to decide this.
Ie if were over the net, look at the wrappers.
If over the radio, look at the spectrum.
It's whats around the message that will break the message

Think about it;
This is a device that makes you taller, makes you physically bigger and can make other people move out of your way.
