Anybody here using Ada, or has used Ada? Not implying anything, but genuinely interested. Isn't Ada one of the most crazy complex algorithm languages ever invented? Just my impression.
I think that would be reasonable. If you get a patent invalidated you should be forced to repay all money you have gained from it, or even double that money
You should be charged with fraud. That would tend to help focus.
Linux is GPL encumbered. If you develop closed source applications for Linux have to be extra careful. Developing a client for a commercial friendly OS such as FreeBSD is always safe and can fully concentrate on development rather fear of GPL violations.
That would have been a good troll, 15 years ago.
Ten years ago even.
Well looky here, morally bankrupt Microsofties had mod points today.

Did we all just get smarter, or did we all just get dumber? Obviously, intellect is impossible to quantify, just as strength is. Oh wait, we can measure how much weight an individual can lift, and that weight varies by genetic, developmental, training and health factors. Obviously, neurons are nothing like muscle cells and physical ability is nothing like intellectual ability. According to this buffoon.
You're wrong about Python, everybody's using it these days. It's probably more common than Perl now. I would say that most scripts that would have been written in Perl and many that would have been written in Bash are now being written in Python.
Is it just my imagination, or are.asp sites blessedly becoming rarer? This site's spin on it is hilarious: "As mentioned above, programmers have moved away from Classic ASP and VBScript to other languages. However, that is not quite the same as dying". News for you! Oh yes it is. And do I even need to comment on the bad taste of trying to distribute this spin via pdf? Especially, DRM protected pdf? Say, this idiocy would not have anything to do with.asp dying would it?

OK, I see where you're coming from. The Oracle database you describe depends only on write completion semantics of independent block devices, it does its own recovery, but if random volumes "jump back in time" due to replicating a snapshot, the database can't recover reliably. A well known issue. You can fix this with LVM, though I will not claim that this is elegant. Concatenate all the physical volumes together, then allocate separate logical volumes on top of that, that exactly match the underlying physical volumes. Run the database on those logical volumes. To create a consistent state of all the underlying volumes, pause the database and flush all the logical volumes. You now have a consistent set of physical volumes you can copy somewhere and recover the database from.
I'm NOT talking about multiple databases, I'm talking about the SINGLE database spread across multiple LVs, like Jamesh did.
It was YOU that came up with the "OH, it's possible with LVMs" nonsense in a reply to him, not me.
Gosh, you're hard to talk to, do people ever tell you that? If it is a single database then lvm volume concatenation of lvm volumes will work perfectly well. If it is multiple databases then your assertion immediately above is false. There is no third possibility, what are you going on about?
Fandroids cling to the belief that slashdot is a pro-Apple site, where any moderation of their (actually flamebait and inflammatory) post is somehow down to "spinmods" looking to suppress the message.
Don't be silly, Slashdotters are well aware that Slashdot is anything but a pro-Apple site, mainly because of Apple's corporate hubris and unabashed bad acting. But we also know that Apple is a company that stoops to astroturfing.
The fandroids will spin this into something to make it seem like it was a win for them all along.
Whoa, the fandroids didn't do that! Instead, the fandroids discussed the issues, risks and fixes calmly, intelligently and informatively. Now if only iFans were like that, maybe I wouldn't feel like I got something icky on me after any encounter.
Oh, iFans have another weapon besides naked fanaticism: they also have Apple spinmods.

you said tha VSS changes the original data, don't you? which is false
It's not false, Microsoft clearly documents that they do exactly that: they change the original data in place after saving a copy of it somewhere else.
As far as computer science goes, I feel more stupid after reading your post, I'll need to stop doing that now.

I heard that Memphis Methodist University Hospital wants their liver back too.

I've noticed that people who are underachievers in school often compensate with high social intelligence, seeming to know every trick in the book.
And become managers, then proceed happily to ruin people's lives and the profitability of corporations.

What about the 48fps made it suck?
The popcorn no doubt.
Another way of interpreting it: Samsung does not wish to be perceived as a greedy thug like Apple.
My friend, by modding that down you prove that not only is Apple a corporate thug, but is staffed by thugs who like it that way.

Which troglodyte in denial modded that down?

there are still loads of companies looking for developers that can write C# and ASP
Why is it that whenever I hit a .asp page on the net I know I am in for an eye-gouging, mind-numbing experience?

I don't get why Facebook is so against it?
Because Facebook's entire business model is about monetizing your identity.

Walled gardens are inherently more secure, it has nothing to do with Apple's competence.
Do you have any actual evidence to support that fanciful assertion? Didn't think so.

Form of: denial and accusation of user error.
You're an Apple employee, and you're projecting.
and your Apple spinmod friends don't impress me either. Actually, the more you do things like that, the more you Apple people disgust me.
