He said he wants something that is easy to implement, and only reason he is going with open source is because then he doesn't have to ask for purchase approval. Which IMO is a really stupid reason and will hurt in the long run - it's insane to take worse software just because you don't want to ask your boss if it's okay to buy this one.
I also place emphasis on anything that is open source and easy to implement since it will allow me to bypass the convoluted purchase approval process.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you want good support and easy implementation, you have to look for normal paid-for solutions. Besides, open source is not synonym for free. This is especially true with specialized software or something you want good support for. Open source just means you get the code aswell, so you can implement your own additions (without use of plugins) or change it.
But unless you get an product from a company that is spending money to develop it, you never get good software and good support. No one can make both because everything in this world costs money, and developers have to live too. Open source and free software model works well for the likes of Google and Firefox because the developments get paid by money made with advertising. Statistical analysis software, and other specialized software is a different matter.
The requirements for the job are also based on how important is is (and how much damage one with no license could do). Would you also say that having some basic requirements for doctors is a bad thing to do? Sorry to burst your bubble, but engineers or coders really aren't in such high demand. We make things work, but other people make them prosper. Lot's of people tend to overestimate their importance - don't be stupid like that.
What's so bad about.NET? Apart from your prejudice. It's actually good platform, and C# is awesome language for developers..NET is also fully open. The reason why the newest versions aren't fully supported in Linux is just because of this - the general hate towards Microsoft and their success with Windows. Microsoft does give out the specs, but Linux developers don't want to update their programs. That's really hardly Microsoft's fault.
Unfortunately in this world doing real work is the one thing that will guarantee that you only get a commodity level of pay. That's why stockbrokers and lawyers make more than programmers or mechanics
It's all based on supply and demand. Frankly, mechanics and programmers are quite common place jobs. Good stockbrokers and lawyers, not so much. And I'm a programmer myself, but I understand the position rather than just going "lalala".
The main buzz for the tech appears to be from hackers who discovered you can do some neat things with a camera with some depth finding capabilities.
And Microsoft actually responded to that a lot differently than Sony or Nintendo - They're bringing Kinect support to PC as well, and have released API's to use it.
I don't own Kinect myself, but my parents do. I do own Wii, and to be honest, Kinect is way nicer to use. For one, you don't need to hold any controller. Secondly, it seems to register your movements much better than Wii does. MS probably wouldn't had come up with it if it wasn't for Wii, but they did it so much better. I haven't tested PS Move so cannot comment on that, but it seems to be controller based like Wii.
At least with current banking systems you get some stability. With Bitcoin you can lose 30% of your money overnight. What Bitcoin desperately needs is to stabilize its value.
They seem to do lot of cool stuff. From that Courier tablet to studying Bitcoin. Even while Microsoft doesn't realize their R&D section has a great amount of potential, it's actually the only major company in the industry that does have such research center. I wish I worked there:-P
our population actually stands up and shouts about how unhappy we are with it, which is surely better than most other European states where it's at least as bad but just blindly accepted without much dissent.
Yeah, that I must give you credit for. At least you don't blindly take whatever, and actually do something about it. Here anything bad done by government leads to massive "liking" of Facebook page that tells you to go protest in front of the parliament, where then actually maybe 10-15 people will show up to drink some coffee and eat pastry.
Not only is EU not requiring their use, they are actually putting several limitations on how they're used and saying citizens can opt-out. Good job, EU!
Now, if someone would just kick UK out of EU. It's almost as bad as US.
Uh? They are, as that's how you get drinkable water, at extremely cheap prices too. And I'm not talking about something like middle of Africa, I'm talking about Asia, some countries in Europe and Australia. Prices for bottled water is ridiculous where you can get it from faucet (like here in Europe, but I live a lot in Asia too)
Not filled buckets, filled 100MB files. So their data takes about 4-5TB storage space.

Siri Protocol Cracked
·
· Score: 5, Informative
They are already sending everything with HTTPS. That's why the researchers had to use gateway machine and certificate tricks to do man-in-the-middle attack.
The iPhone 4S sends identifiers everywhere. So if you want to use Siri on another device, you still need the identfier of at least one iPhone 4S. Of course Apple could blacklist an identifier, but as long as youâ(TM)re keeping it for personal use, that should be allright!
While you could write an Android app or anything else, the protocol sends an unique ID with the request. That ID is unique to every iPhone 4S. End result being, you can probably use your own for your personal use, but if you try to sell an App for Android and include your ID with it, Apple will just blacklist it. So you will still need your own iPhone 4S.
To be honest, if I wanted to work on such data and didn't have lots of money, I would actually prefer collecting it myself. Sure, with EC2 I can easily put more processing power and process it quickly, but I can get dedicated 100mbit server with unlimited bandwidth for around 60-70 dollars a month. It also has more space and processing power than EC2 at that price, and I can process the pages as I download them. That way I would build my database structure as I go, and I'm guaranteed with fixed cost a month.
Sure, if you're researcher and want to get quick results, then you can run a job for $100-200 against this dataset. One job. And it better not be anything complex, or you're paying more. In the end, if you're short on money, it would probably be better to do the crawling part yourself too. That isn't costly, it's just time taking.
So, how exactly would you fix it? How do you determine what is good information, or relevant results? How do you rank them? Please describe your algorithm.
I just did a calculation in Amazon EC2 site, and seems like you can micro instance for practically free for first year. With 15GB storage and 10GB out bandwidth it costs like $0.40 a month, and nothing if you take just 10GB storage. Guess you could do some simple stuff with that.
Oh, and that is obviously for only simple stuff like what links to what. Google, Bing and other search engines are much, much more complicated than that now. And you don't have access to the usage and keyword data that Google and Bing have because of their enormous amount of users.
But it's still a long way to go. They seem to have archive of what they have crawled. That's it. You processing all those pages on EC2 is still going to be extremely costly and time taking.

I hope they do. I am a really fat person. I don't want someone to get traumatized for looking at my naked body.

Maybe that's a good reason not to root your phone and download unverified stuff from warez places?

Never, unless they manage to hack into Apple's servers. The ID check is server side.
While you could write an Android app or anything else, the protocol sends an unique ID with the request. That ID is unique to every iPhone 4S.

Are you surprised? This site is established on the idea that you should receive everything for free and nobody should be paid for the work they do.

It was obviously a business tool because he used the company's name in the handle.
