Remember when Japan was an economic powerhouse, they were going to buy us all out, and we were all turning Japanese? Endless stories about that until a minor currency hiccup changed things. These things come and go, and while there's truth in the stories, keep an eye on who benefits from the wide coverage of them:
Indian companies trying to sell services to the west? A bit.
Western companies who would like to keep labour costs down by creating FUD and panic about outsourcing without actually outsourcing? A lot.
Same here. I've been suffering from a form of amnesia for years as more and more Three Letter Acronyms flood a limited name space of 17576 possibilities. I wonder why an old IDE drive needs an Integrated Development Environment and such. As time goes on, it only gets worse.
So please everyone, we all need to our part in the fight against TLA.
I thought it had, as a dupe. I remember reading this one at least a week ago, but I guess it wasn't on Slashdot otherwise the dedicated Slashdot Dupe-Detector Squad would have posted something.
And there was Kraftwerk who replaced themselves with machines at some concerts...
Well well, in the Saturday Toronto Star, Business section, "Special to the Star": Work of idle hands "Intelligent but alienated young men are creating forces they cannot control" Same Ryan McGinley posed photos too.
I smelled a Rodent Of Unusual Size the first time I read this story, it doesn't get better the second time around. Come to think of it, it didn't smell any better when someone did basically the same story 21 years ago in Montreal and took a handful of disaffected haxor/ph34k kids and blew them up into the sinister hacker group "Top 40". The fact that the group didn't exist didn't stop one reporter from trying to enroll every computer enthusiast in Montreal in the group.
Bookmarked! Since my last name is Sharp, my reaction already has a +1 moderation.:^P
I figured that there must be one, and hoped that someone would respond with a helpful link. Thanks! I'm willing to try C#, but not if it means giving MS money for the first hit for something usable. (I've done command line development. I've done debugging with toggle switches too. It gets old.)
One alternative would be to write an IDE wrapper around Microsoft's free command line compiler. (Presuming their flavour of "free" allows this.) That would eliminate the need for Studio, and other C# compilers could be snapped in as they become available.
Is there really a lot of congecture, or just this web page? If I tried really hard, could I find one comparing it to the Afrikaner Voortrek? (Voortreking across the Transvaal...) Or, long shot, could I find one comparing it to the biblical exodus from Egypt by the 12 tribes lead by Moses? (Might explain the Egyptian styling, but the real reason was that it was hot in the 70's.)
In any of the nakked scenes was any sacred mormon underwear spotted?
I still have a device that I keep handy for occasional debugging use. It allows me to do things like that with just a modem and no computer at all! It's called a video terminal.:^)
I looked at Geoworks in the start of the 90's. It really was a slick package that got a lot out of low-end machines. (It would run on an 8088 PC. With Win3.0 you could sort of, but hell no, not really.)
As I recall, the main hold-up for using it was that the development package for apps was either (1) expensive as hell (2) required a workstation rather than a PC to develop on. I think they eventually changed that, but by then it was moot. Rather than bundling a GUI like GEM or Win2.1 with an app, you just assumed that everyone had Win3.x already installed and screw older hardware. Pity. I guess none of the gnomes ever figured out that "???" was "Provide easy/cheap development environment to build grass-roots support" until it was too late.
Viruses that install backdoors aren't new. And scanning to look for the backdoors isn't new. MyDoom.A got big press, spread far, and now (especially since it's now open source:) there are going to be a lot of people taking advantage of it.
All the speculation about who did it or even why is still speculation. (If someone hated SCO so much, why stop after two weeks?)
Or better yet, read and clone someone else's RFID. (Secretly while passing by, of course.) I wonder if their greeters and clerks would even notice that you didn't exactly match the data on their display, or just go through the sript?

From the looks of the weather, it will be a day without sunshine. I think I'll go back to bed and tell them that I've got SCO.
It's supposed to stop that today. (Except for people with the clock set wrong.) Some stories are calling it the "end of the epidemic". Bah! The first wave is dug in, holding position, while the next waves advance. It won't be the end until the last copy is rooted out -- And I doubt that's happened to Code Red yet.

It's the idea that people bought it and were happy with it that I can't grasp. *shrug*
Without all that, Battlefield Earth might never have happened!
Suffers a glitch, no. Remember the endless dupes last April 1st? Guess what I hear is scheduled for this April 1st.. Bwahahaha!
So does that mean that Milli Vanilli is forgiven? Didn't think so. :^P

In the Toronto Star CRIA, what a perfect acronym: CRY EH!

And they could do Tuxedo Gin while they're at it. (Or has boy meets girl, is killed, returns as a penguin been done before?)
With the original series, all the geeks drooled over the Tektronics vector displays used to show how many centons away the Cylons were.

So they'll have Darth Vader sue everyone instead?

Yeah, it's sort of like a touch of the Bog of Eternal Stench [Labyrinth]: "One touch and you'll stink forever!"
