I mean, there's such a thing as burning bridges, but he's taken it to the next level. I know for a fact that if I ever received a resume from such an individual, it would go straight into the trash.
As far as I'm concerned, interpersonal skills count for a lot - even if your a genius, in a real environment you'll have to function as part of a team. This guy, well, it seems that he has real difficulties in a team environment. Sure, he may have worked with some individuals that were not up to his standards (would anyone be?), but to say what he said...it's too much.
A good read for anyone involved in secure development.
You would be wanting the Postfix source code, then. I've learned a tremendous amount about how secure, well designed software can be constructed. Wietse is a very smart guy, and his code is some of the tightest code I've seen. Go through it, and you'll be a better software developer for it.
I've never looked at the qmail code. It could be just as good, I don't know.
Could you elaborate? I do Java development with Netweaver 2004s/7.0, and I'm interested in why you think it's a 'crap pile'. Really, I want to know. I've had a small amount of experience with BEA, and it was a long, long time ago, so I have no idea what the major differences are between them today.
SAP has created (or has purchased/modified) a very robust (and open) J2EE environment. It does have a few oddities (tedious develop/deploy/test cycle), but overall, I quite like the environment.
From Lucasfilm.....worst game *ever*. Took about 70 minutes to finish, and it was a full price game. Bad story line, hokey graphics, and wayyyy to easy puzzles...
When I was in Grade 7 (or was it 8?), our school got our first ][+, mono screen, 40 columns, all that. It did have a disk drive tho. We did all sorts of things to raise money to purchase more computers for the school, but the best one I remember was we sold fruit. We canvassed the town (about 1000 people), and took orders. We then had a fruit truck delivery boxes (I don't remember how many, but it was a lot) of fruit to the school, after which we checked each box, removed the damaged fruit, and so on. Once we were done, we raised a few thousand dollars that allowed us to buy one or two more....
We then added a bunch of//e's, a GS. When I left school, we had about 10//e's, and a whole whack of Vic 20s (Ech one a p.o.s.).
I purchased my own//c when I hit university. After U, I migrated to a 286/20. I know have 5 systems at home, all AMD based except for my Powerbook.
Brings back memories, this article does. Things like assembly programming, basic, pascal. Playing Ultima on the Apple, and loving it. All the text adventures.
I don't drink coffee, I drink the occassional tea, and very little pop (or soda). I do drink 7-11 Slurpees....but I also drink lots of milk and water.
I've never had the need to drink some sort of stimulant to stay awake. Even in university when assignment deadlines were looming, I wouldn't bother drinking anything to stay awake - I knew I had to stay awake, so I did. I've always had the ability to stay awake (and alert, within reason) when I've needed to. It's a useful talent!
I do remember one guy in U that popped a bunch of caffine pills during an all-night assignment work session. He didn't feel them do anything, so he took a bunch more. Still didn't feel anything, so he took more....well, when they did finally kick in, I don't think I've ever seen someome look as 'manic' as he did for the next day. Talk about bug-eyed.....
You know, that wooden thing with carbon in the middle? Carry a piece of paper in your wallet, and you're good to go. It's small, portable, and it doesn't need batteries! Heck, you could even use a pen if you're willing to talk on the wild side!
I'm constantly amazed at this gadget obsession people have.....
I would also add that at the time I was working with my brother-in-law, and another fellow. I would turn around and without saying anything, just spout off a number. My b-i-l would look at me, nod his head knowingly, and say "I know". The other guy would look rather confused - wasn't hard, he was a bit of a dope.
The number? It was the number of days until the next episode. The larger the number, the more forlornly my b-i-l would respond:-) Sometime that number was in the 40-50s - the wait was almost unbearable!
In late 1995, right before I left my previous job, I spent a lot of time reading the Lurkers guide, back when it was on hyperion.com. Started at episode 1, and read *every* one that was available. It was the best way to get up to speed on the series.
I've never seen another fan site that's as good as the Lurker's Guide....perhaps someone will get a good one for BG - know of one?
And I'll agree with your statement about Battlestar Galactica. It's been quite good so far. Unlike the original, they're spending some time developing the characters and back stories, which gives the show more depth. JMS set the stage with good, deep story lines with B5, and it seems that some people were watching.
It has to do with resolution. With B&W, one pixel measures the gray-level, whereas with RGB, you need three pixels to measure each primary color. So while the images are not as 'colorful', they contain more (acurate) information. The rover missions use B&W for just this reason.
As for the cripsness of the images, I don't know. Perhaps the atmosphere has a lot of haze, or these are just preliminary low-res images. Maybe the hi-res images are coming later. Again, the Rover mission did the same thing initially.
...I would highly recommend taking some time and reading the postfix code, especially if you're considering constructing software using a client-server model. The code is very clean, well written, and quite easy to understand.
The code is very object-oriented, even tho it was written in 'C'. The process framework taught me a *lot* about how you develop multi-process applications - combined with APUE (Richard Stevens' book(s)) Postfix can be a great learning tool.
Regarding the MTA itself, I installed it about 4 years ago, and except for minor patch upgrades every now and then, I have had no issues with Postfix at all. Granted, I'm not dumping a lot of mail into it, but still - it's quite simple to configure, and you can even understand the configuration file, unlike Sendmail....
Yup, this will work, as long as you do NOT ship via UPS Ground. You do not have the option of clearing it through Custom's yourself if this is the case.
However, living in Winnipeg, which is the major point of entry for UPS Ground, you may have that option. In Calgary, we don't.
There are a couple of problems, one small, and one not so small.
1. Extra forms to fill out. The company either doesn't want to take the time to fill out the single (small) form, or thinks that the forms will take a long time. Understandable, but frustrating to the paying customer.
2. Irate phone calls from customers who were levied heavy brokerage fees. I was one of these customers a few weeks back, when I got nailed TWICE with brokerage fees (to the US, and back into Canada) for a piece of hardware I sent back for free repair. I bitched so hard at UPS that they dropped the brokerage fees. However, even after that, the cost of the free, under-warranty repair was still $100 US.
Brokerage fees drive me nuts, since most of the time they appear after the fact, and are not consistently applied. This is very frustrating, not to mention expensive.
I've been using powertools of all shapes and sizes for close to 25 years, and I've never had an accident, nor I have ever come close to injuring myself.
Why? Because I know how to use my tools, I work in a safe environment, and I make sure my tools are in good working condition. If you don't know what you're doing, or are careless, or, or or, then sure, purchase a safety device to protect yourself. What I'm saying is that if you DO know what you're doing, you won't need it.
For places like schools and public wood shops, sure, the device could be installed. In those situation you're working with unknown quantities - people are just learning, or are too immature to really understand what they're dealing with.
Safety devices are great, but they are no substitute for brains. We can't pad every sharp corner in the world either...

I think NetWeaver is a crap pile

I think you need to re-check the dictionary regarding the definition of 'great' :-)
A perfect demonstration of the incorrect usage of the comma.

Yeah? That'd be great, since I *love* Jim Nabors...

Yup, it's been done:
char *fgets(char *s, int size, FILE *stream);
Instead of just reading from a stream, you specify the buffer, and the size of the buffer. This prevents overflow.

Long time ago, a consulting company did some work for a company I used to work for. Their name? TSW. Stood for 'The Software Works'.
I always wanted to put a question mark at the end of the name.....

You meant JMS. J. Michael Straczynski.

That's ok - they have creams and stuff to help you fix that too...
