One of the things I've always read/seen/heard/imagined was the following explanation:
Give the fact that people are either left-handed or right-handed, the left-eye or right-eye can send messages/images to the brain faster. When the other eye sends the information, the brain will think it's been seen before, as indeed it has.
Also, what was that Quote in Hudson Hawk? 'Veja-du'? Something you wish didn't happen?
Interesting. If it is in the disease's best interest to keep the host alive for maximum proliferation, than with each evolutionary cycle, the virus will protect the host more and more.
This means that, within time, virusses will evolve into the Means for Man to achieve Immortality in some kind of twisted mutual-benefit relationship. (mutualism)
So, say you're not violating the Agreement you signed. Yet they don't like what you are doing. Can they still kick you out? If so, can you sue them?
(Assuming that there is no Clause in the Agreement that says that "the Board can decide to terminate a contract with a student without explanation or appeal.", but most agreements probably have something like that.)
Well, not that I care, but I once ran across this: http://www.mtsu.edu/~untch/karel/fundamenta ls.html About programming a simple virtual robot in C called Karel. It could be easily ported to Java.
Another way that I see most people getting interested in programming, is, they start building webpages, process like this: 1. ready made html editor (Frontpage?) 2. fix html with notepad 3. add flash/php 4. start on C/Java 5. profit?
I sometimes thought about changing jobs from IT to Security Guard or something. There must be jobs out there that require you to sit still for really long hours doing basically nothing.
Think of the programming you could get done!
Has anyone actually decided this, in order to be able to properly help code (your own) open source projects?
As long as Linux does not have the user base of Windows, we have nothing to worry about. You see, it is basically an elementary law of nature: Whenever a homogenous population dominates, any sufficiently advanced virus/bacteria/disease can wreak havoc and destroy 75% or more of the population.
You see this in Humans too, but at that time it was called The Black Plague. And just as we download patches from Microsoft to cure us of computer virusses, doctors help us overcome our "real-time" virusses.
I think often times people make the mistake of considering open source "better" because of the quality when it is really just this law at work. Feel free to flame. (P.S. perhaps someone who knows a bit about biology can provide some background info, because I know didley squat about biology)
Using the microsoft t-shirts, training guide and microsoft small business server, he disguised himself as a Microsoft Standard Maintenance Engineer and walsed right into a Casino in Las Vegas under the guise of "preparing an upgrade".
After doing the necessary maintenance and managing to replace the existing Roulette wheel at the casino with the one he bought and "fixed", he is now riding high on his winnings.
I would like to hear some stuff about management. Do companies just send an email with teh documents containing the requiremetns that the outsourced people have to adhere to?
Is that even possible?
Do you need a local presence to lead everything in proper paths?
In some cases it might just come in handy. If you are interested in one specific article but do not want to buy the entire magazine, you just snapshot that article.
It sounds like people tend to try and get what they want, instead of what is offered. People got used to the WWW in a way that, if you don't like it, you zap away to another browserpage. Apparently, if magazines wish to survive they have to be that flexible, but they can't be in the paper-format. Which is why people found a way to be that flexible using technology.
Seeing as Babelfish is kinda impossible to use on this one, I thought I'd post a translation for those who are not fluent in German.
Every story has a beginning, But this seems to be the last page. It is a kind of... prophecy Here it says: be without fear, be fearless and open.

Hmm, sounds a bit like Wheel of Time to me. (and possibly a hundred other books)
This is an interesting subject. Especially the last alinea caught my eye. If your insecure server is compromised and is a party in the attack, does that make you responsible/liable for the bandwithcosts on the receivers end?
In other words, is it possible that we might see something along the lines of the "spam" issue, where you can sue spammers for illegitemately sending you unrequested emails?
I mean, why hold ISPs and backbone providers responsible for rogue traffic that is not generated by them? Is it feasible to try and go after the people that are actually sending the DDOS/email/virusses/etc?

Any suggestions? They can make that stuff really small, right?

Quite possibly, already, whole invasions of the Sentient Orion Strawberry Seedcake Race have been slaughtered by the human populace!

How many of you people read Slashdot during work hours on work pcs?
I know I am.
He's absolutely right, you know. The GPL is viral.
In fact, if you are running Linux at home, that means your pet dog is GPL too!
You can have weirdos come into your house and modify your dog without your consent!
(and your goldfish, favorite sneakers, the staircase carpeting, your toothbrush, your wife/girlfriend, etc...)
Thank God, the GPL is unconstitutional and therefore illegal. *pfew*

They're already the biggest. Hmm, that probably also explains the bullying.
Well,
I think that, when SCO started the lawsuits and everything, some (most, I hope) programmers got upset and left the company.
Now, with no good programmers left, the company has no choice but to continue litigation in order to sustain itself.
It's a death spiral thingy.

I could draw a couple of conclusions from this:
- (intuitive) userfriendly GUI is a myth, in the end everything has to be learned. And some things cannot be learned in 30 minutes.
- people are based on convenience, why learn a different system when you have already been conditioned on the system you always use.
- unknown things are hard to learn
