    Apparently too many. Now over 40 minutes after your post, and 5 minutes after I clicked on the link, I'm still waiting. Previewing now, still waiting. Another minute, it finished. At least it didn't drop any packets.

    The stats from the article indicate not overloaded. Therefore, they must have slow bandwidth.

  6. Relative BS on A Corporate Code of Ethics? · · Score: 2
    This part stinks.

    we must disclose to the CFO any relative that works for a customer, competitor or vendor;

    For starters, it's none of the companies business whom your relatives work for. Second, it is vague as almost *any* company could be considered to potentially have *some* business relationship with your company, especially if you are bug (for example Microsoft). Third, are you personally supposed to keep track of your relatives and their job changes?

    Finally, in this effort to prevent kickbacks and other shenanigans, the CFO is the person to be informed? Why the CFO, why not HR? And who is watching the CFO?

    Yeah, that's it. That's the ticket. Coincidence.

  8. General approach on Optimizations for Source-Based Distributions? · · Score: 4, Informative
    1. Don't worry about the kernel, it's pretty tight already. Definitely compile it for your proper platform, but I would not waste time on additional tweaks.

    2. Do re-compile your C library however. Most of your applications spend a lot of their time executing code from the C library.

    Sort of like mentioned here?

  10. Re:First problem with this solution: on Lessig Wagers His Job On Anti-Spam Theory · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It is a band-aid if few people use it.
    However, if enough people (and ISPs) use it, then the effectiveness of spam will be reduced, possibly to the point that many of the spammers give up. It's too soon to dismiss a possible solution.

    LOL. I caught your drift. I could not help but envision a Monty Python skit with your Microsoft Lawyer as prosecutor, judge, and jury on this case. A true farce just as Jon is enduring now.

    ...is not to play.

    Seriously, Microsoft is making a big mistake by over-reacting and fighting the world.
    They (Microsoft) would be much better off if they just STFU, fixed their bugs (if possible), opened up and inter-operated, and were just happy with their market share they already have.

    Please, if anyone does get the source,
    please, please, do NOT leak it.

    The bugs could get corrected, which could lead to competition for Linux.

  19. Re:customer - sales rep - manager - programmer on Giving the Customer What They Wanted? · · Score: 2
    You're spot on. This sentence caught my eye immediately:

    Techies and customers almost always speak a completely different language and likely the specs were written by a tech person who doesn't quite comprehend the customer's workflow, or sometimes even worse, by the customer himself, trying to 'speak tech' without having the technical background.

    The key section is bolded. I thought B.S.!
    My experience was a NON-technical salesperson driving the requirements because they flat out LIE to the customer to get the sale.

    No. Conversion to any other base does not make Pi become non-irrational. The base does not make any magic transformation occur that changes Pi from an irrational number to a rational number. It's just not possible.

    An clueless entity in the U.S. that shall remain nameless, has canceled their plans to upgrade to XP, and decided to remain on 2K. It's truely shocking that they got a clue as they never had seen a clue before. Can you say 'security'?
