While the protocol itself is in massive need of optimization and cleanup, it is essentially *extremely* efficient and effective.
Coming up with a system to maintain a state such as IRC is very hard to do in the methods you describe. Avoid netsplits? How? The internet is not reliable. Thus, IRC is not reliable. You talk about this as though you know something about it, but you cannot "fix" the problems you are talking about and have the result still being IRC.
Please, do explain your ideas - We're always interested in hearing them.
In Canada, you're looking at around 30-35k. If you're lucky. That is assuming you havent done any open source projects and dont have much in the way of experience.
I'll freely admit that my knowledge of physics is lacking, but I'm curious. I was under the impression that the higher the frequency, the higher the amplitude needed to be in order to travel the same given distance. Meaning if I can pull 5km with 2.4Ghz 802.11b at the maximum allowable energy output, would I not need to exceed that same energy output in order to achieve the same result at 3.4Ghz?
I did note that they are allowing a higher energy output at 3.4Ghz - would that be the purpose?
wow. I've never seen someone fail so miserably when trying to start a flamewar over why kind of Tractor is better. Man, I thought they woulda been all over that here on slashdot.
Why exactly is this rated +4 Funny? In canada, we pay a levy (not a tax, theres a difference) on our blank media that goes towards those music industries whiners. If they plan on making Copyright law such that Downloading becomes illegal, then fuck me paying extra for the CDs that I use for lagitimate uses.
Why? Because almost everything Redhat packages is free. There is no reason I should pay $179 USD for a product that should essentially be without cost. The only way that expense can be lagitimized is by calling it a support cost. And from what I've heard from friends with Redhat support contracts, the tech support blows.
You're reffering to Occam's Razor. "One should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything". But the point is that we CANT sufficiently explain it. Relativity and Quantum Theory are in conflict.
But my question is, if this has been tested by the Cassini test and others and the result has been proven, why are we bothering to do it again?
I cant wait til they hit some rich kid who decides to fight them on it. Issuing thousands of lawsuits, and settling all of them... that MUST be extorsion in some juristiction.
Thats all fine and good, then you develop batbelt syndrome -- carrying a personal cell phone, a work cell phone, a work pager, and a PDA out to the bar is unforuntately NOT cool.
The email system of the star trek universe was made unusable due to massive amounts of spam in the early 21st century. The majority of these spam messages were from a time traveller seeking out a dimensional warp generator.
TNG's interface was far better than TOS. Those bridge panels are all all totally configurable to your choice. They arent static buttons - they're basically touchscreens.
You know that little laptop-like thing that Picard keeps on his desk? Watch how he uses it sometime. There is one button on it - to turn it on. He turns it on, then just hits the screen. Also, pull out the TNG technical manual sometime. They accually put a disturbing amount of thought into the design of their UI.
use OSX legally? You mean, there is some way to use OSX without buying a mac? I would probably consider killing cute furry animals if it got me a copy of OSX/aqua on i386.
The US will avoid a confrontation with china at all costs. They know that if a war breaks out between China and the US, there will be major losses on BOTH sides. While the US people may be stupid enough to ignore history, im sure the adminstration does not forget that a war where you loose a lof of people on your side is not good for publicity.
I really dont give two shits about them knowing that I'm downloading their source code. Under what other circumstances is downloading information Illegal? With the exeption of child pornography, which is designed to avoid the exploitation of minors - I cant think of anything.
I'll happily download that source code, and happily tell everyone about it. Until I take that source code and do something illegal with it, I think I'm in the clear. If people show up at my house and say I've stolen source code - they're wrong. It was publically availible. I didnt break into someone computer to get it.

Accually, I'd disagree.

Funny, yes, but it raises a question in my mind.

I accually think that this is more a "Cargo before the boat" type thing. 3D interfaces would be great. If I could interact with them in a 3D manner.
Take a look at the interfaces used in the matrix 2 and Minority Report for examples of what I mean by 3D interfaces.

He was, however, struck by lightning.
That just proves that God was against the making this movie too.
Because simple coding is boring coding.
Many hate us because we have succeded and make them look bad.
I hate you because of that very attitude. Oh, and the whole pushy thing too.
(I say "you" in the current american government sense.)
This seems to be the correct point to direct you to the department of which this article came:
from the make-it-stop dept.
Agreed. Wholeheartedly. Please.

I *pray* they didnt break anything big again. 2.1 was hell, 2.2 wasnt bad, 2.3 was annoying.

What exactly was wrong with libc5 that glib had to come along and fark up things anyway?

Slightly offtopic, but a great quote about C...
C is a language with the flexibility and speed of assembly combined with the ease of use of assembly.

exactly. the technology is fine. the problem is the people setting the targets.
how is the extra added line of MODULE_LICENCE("x"); make the simple sided 2.6 kernel module substantially more complicated?

I'd happily fight off a lawsuit regarding this.
