Crying 'Not Overkill' shows ignorance of the practical world of photography. Theoritical maximums and ideal values are meaningless when the end viewer can't tell the difference. There is no way an average human being can differentiate between a 200 DPI print from a 4 to 6 MP camera and a 400 DPI print from a 11 MP camera. Not even with a magnifying glass.
Many highly regarded professional photographers are shooting very successfully with a Nikon D1H with it's measly 2.7 megapixels. A high quality image has such more more to do with the person behind the camera, not the camera itself. An 11 megapixel, 400 DPI crap image is still a crap image.
If you can't create a very high quality printed image using the gear we have RIGHT NOW you can't blame the camera or printer. It's a blow to the ego at first, but liberating later on.
Have you ever bought a car? A house? An overpriced coffee from Starbucks? You jerk, that money could have gone to help someone else! If you spent half of what you did for dinner tonight you could have fed three needy.
What kind of value do you put on proving something can be done or chasing a dream? Often it's those actions that do more for humanity than feeding the hungry.

Spam Doesn't Work?

· Score: 3, Insightful
You get spam because some guillible guy in marketing buys the ability to spam from an "Intenet Marketting Guru". The poor marketing guy is convinced that even a 0.1% is likely and will be profitable.
It's not us who gets suckered into buying the crappy product that doesn't work, it's them.
I find it's not that I rely on the compiler to catch mistakes, it's that I don't write programs from the top line to the bottom line. I'll write the structure then fill it in, maybe even move stuff around as the idea solidifies. It is just very difficult to work this way on paper.
I'm don't think we'll run out of oil in 30-40 years, and that is what scares me. It could just be that Iceland isn't doing this because they'll have to eventually anyway, but they're doing it because they live in a sensitive area of the planet.
The initial user of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT may make a one-time permanent transfer of this EULA and SOFTWARE PRODUCT only directly to an end user. This transfer must include all of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT (including all component parts, the media and printed materials, any upgrades, this EULA, and, if applicable, the Certificate of Authenticity).
Therefore you can only give your software away if you are the one and only previous owner and have everything that came in the box. Don't have the certificate of authenticity or the registration card? Bought the machine used or got the computer as a hand-me-down? Now you can't even GIVE it away. Maybe this is a good thing.
You can't properly describe how to fix a security hole without revealing what the hole is. Even binary patches make it easy to create an exploit, simply look at what the patch changes. No matter how you try to socially engineer around it, the security hole itself is the origin of the exploit.
Spreading information about a hole makes exploits it more prevelant, but this isn't a bad thing. We all know bigger the chance of getting hacked the more incentive there is to fix the problem. If the latest round of worms wasn't so virulent they may have gone mostly un-noticed by the general population of IIS admins.
Exploits, like liars, are a necessity to keep people from becoming too trusting and lax.
There is one reason software has as many bugs as it does: time. Money can only help reduce the amount of time to a certain point, beyond that it takes competent software developers a certain period of time to design and deliver quality work.
CIOs want the latest features now and to spend as little as possible. If a CIO would apply the same philosophy to buying a car he would be driving a moped and complaining it doesn't have power steering.
If they want fewer bugs they must be willing to have patience while the software is created. It doesn't matter if it's Open Source, prioprietary or even Microsoft, you will receive what you're willing to wait for.

Only an MS designed POCKET ORGANIZER would need 200mhz and 64MB of RAM.
And this is where the mistake lies. The Palm and PocketPC do not play in the same space. One is a pocket organizer, the other is a pocket computer. Sure, there's a tiny itty bit of overlap, but not much.
My year and a half old Windows CE palm top has a 1 GB hard drive, 64k color screen, 125 mHz RISC processor, 32MB of RAM, 16 bit stereo sound and 4 Mb IrDA.

Technically they're in Burnaby and not in Vancouver. They just down the road from where I live. Nice industrial park. Walk the dog there often.
They have some sort of noisy machinery behind one of their buildings that I haven't been able to figure out what it does. Probably some sort machinery the aliens gave them to build fuel cells.
You are correct. Fortunately, the vast majority of software development isn't about ultra-high performance applications or systems programming. It's about making applications that solve a problem, and the problems are almost never about speed or being low-level.
What good would it be replacing one monopoly with another? The competition between each entity you mentioned above has benefited us all. It's not "fighting amongst ourselves", it's about persuing different paths to similar goals.
