The only way to really cut off gold farmers at the knees is not by refusing to take their money, but by refusing to give it to them.
No one likes spam, but it's still a profitable business practice. The only way to really cut off spam is not by rejecting it at your inbox, but by refusing to give money to spammers.
In thinking about this, I don't know how I would word it, but it does not seem proper to use the past tense word "forbidden" with a future tense form of "to use".
If your PCI bus can only serve data to your NIC at 50Gbps, your card that can send at 100Gbps won't have anything to send that fast because he's waiting for the computer to feed him.
Now of course that goes away if you only use 100Gbps as trunks between switches, and connections to individual PCs stays at GigE, but the internal bus of the switch still comes into play.
[sarcasm] I think all the people of the world should quit their day jobs and earn money in a game. Famers, construction workers, law enformcement, health and safety services and everyone else should sit in there living room or basement and earn money from playing games, then everyone would be really rich and all the worlds problems would go away. [/sarcasm]
I think it's really sad that people promote this kind of thinking by doing it. Life in general would fall apart if most people didn't stay behind in meatspace and carried on providing meatspace goods and services for real money. I don't even like the fact that people can earn a living buying and selling money all day, but this, IMHO, goes too far.
While I agree with you, and it is Microsoft's right to not provide any fixes based on the existing license agreement, there's still two things that I'd like to put out as food for thought.
1. What if Microsoft intentionally wrote bad code, and conspired with worm authors to agree on a worm release date, then said "You can pay to have the fix before this day, or get it for free after this day". Well, it's just a thought, I'm not making any accusations.
2. What if all security product vendors took the same stand as Microsoft: McAfee, Symantec, TrendMicro, etc and said "Hey, we think we have a way to prevent tomorrow's catastrophe, you can have a defenition update in a few weeks." Of course you'd have the option to not purchase their products, but if they *ALL* did it, who would you turn to then?
Your money that you pay to Blizzard goes directly to the Vivendi corporate bottom line to fill the pockets of some effite Frenchman living the good life while the poor of his country riot in desperation.
Do we know if the effite Frenchman is devoutly religious, giving 10% of his earnings to help the poor in his community? I've never met him so I'm not sure.
My Opinion (oversimplified): Certification is for those who need to be told they're smart because they don't beleive it themselves
My department's opinion: Get certified and we'll give you a one time bonus, plus *some* reimbursment of expenses. This way our sales guys can buy contracts with "we have this many MCSE, we have that many CCNA and overall we have all these certifications ready and waiting to support you.
more certs == more contracts == more income == bigger bonuses and pay raises.
So although I don't personally think it's that benefitial, I can see how overall your employer wants you certified.
I was raised to work for the things I want. It's not like my parents couldn't buy me car, or buy me a computer, or pay for me to go to school, but they wouldn't. I'm doing the same for my kids.
I bought my first PC my last year of high school (1998). I had a family PC I could use before then. I bought my first car after my first year of college. I bought my first house after my fourth year of working full time.
My parents didn't buy me anything and although I hated them for it at the time, I really appreciate it today.
The entire Narnia collection were my first reads. Before I could read those books I used to attend summer pre-school. While there we would watch the animated "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" which had introduction and narration by C.S. Lewis.
That did more than justice to adding imagery to the books that I am still fond of today. I still pick up the series and read it from time to time.
Perhaps it's the guy she's getting pregnant with that has the psycho-stalker ex-girlfriend who still wants to be with said guy and will eliminate the competition to do so.

I am an outdoor survival instructor. Living where I do there's no lack of rain water, but we do teach a method of recycling standing water into drinking water using grass, sand, charcoal, some branch poles, twine and cheesecloth (a t-shirt will do). You build a 3 ft tripod with your poles and twine. 8 inches down the tripod fasten a triangle of cheesecloth, put the charcoal in here. 16 inches down put another triangle of cheesecloth, fill this with grass and other green vegitation, ferns etc. Leaves don't do as well. Finally, near the bottom tie off the rest of the cheesecloth, fill it with sand. Put a cup/bowl/basin at the bottom of this contraption. Pour water in the top, and watch it filter.
I've been told this works for urine to make it drinkable.
The velocity/pressure changes are what keeps an airplane in the air. I teach ground school to pilots, and thats one of the first lessons, faster air -> lower pressure.
I've worked with them on web server monitoring before.
The customer is actually our parent company, and has asked to get external monitoring on their behalf.
Working with alertra we set our own check intervals. We can customize just about everything from checking DNS responses, page gets and that sort of thing. We also have the ability to scrip XML gets for communicating to external web servers (something that's hard for us the check from inside, we catch about 50%, Alertra catches 100%)
I know that I do get pissed off when something breaks and alertra keeps paging until the problem is resolved, but their monitoring is very unobtrusive and effective.
If I were in a dorm and some luser down the hall decided to bring a virus onto a network that I'm on I'd take his ass out back and beat him, let everyone in the dorm know so that they can join in. Once this happens a couple times I'm sure everyone will be in the habit of keeping their machines clean and up to date.
naw, bars are for socializing serious drinking happens at home. tweaking debian happens at home too. I'd play the robot while seriously drunk at home that way we're both as concious of our surroundings as the other.
My biggest criticism is regarding the source viewer. Yes in IE the default source viewer is Notepad, but that can be changed - there's no mention of that ability in the article.
The other problem with the source viewer is that Mozilla goes to the server to grab the source, not using the exact source displayed on the screen if you're using dynamic server side variables (PHP), whereas IE gives you the source of whatever's in memory and displayed on the screen.
But back then our peer reviews went to our instructor.
What I found as both a project lead and just a team member is that status checks, often, are good motivators. Nothing's more motivating than someone watching over you. Now I'm not saying hover all day, you have to work too, and no one likes that. You've designed all your components, and broken them up, and handed out pieces to everyone. You have to go back and see how it has progressed, just ask a few questions, ask to see a demo. This isnt a code merge, it's just a status demo, do it 2 times a week, 2 times a month, however often you feel you need to just to make sure that everyone else is progressing at a proper rate.
At the same time, if your coders arent asking you questions, ask them questions, make sure they know whats in your head and vice-versa. If people aren't asking questions, they don't understand it enough.
Slashdot Mirror
That's the stupidest thing I've ever read. And I read Slashdot on a regular basis.
I have to use that one sometime.
Thanks for the laugh.

Maybe, "We hereby forbid you to use the En....."

It will miss 1 character hidden names (.a
Works on sh, ksh, csh, bash and all other standard unix shells I've run into in my years as a sysadmin.
The real catcher that most newbies dont get is
rm - -? after running touch -?
I did same, except luckily rm got stuck in /proc before moving onto /mnt/win/c and /mnt/win/d
Sometimes the obvious escapes even the dimmest of us, but I think that was noticeably intentional, don't you?

String doesn't kick ass; char* does.
I hate not being able to just {*s = 0; s++;} when working with String s;
