On the onehand these laws are limiting large companies from competing with each other, these limits tie the hands of large corporations.
On the other hand it definately opens a huge door for monopolistic reign.
We all agree that large corps are evil but we love to pay $29.95 for highspeed internet access, have HDTV yesterday, have 1000 tv channels, etc.
Its society shooting it self in the foot again. Will loosing such competitive laws and strengthening the monopoly laws possible provide a solution? Or are they the same thing and large corps just buying the laws to strengthen their strangle hold on the competition?
It was my intention to mention IBM in my original post as being the only exception as an MS competitor
IBM may well be able to leverage open source products to take a strong leadership in the server and mainframe markets, which would also strongly pull all other open source variants into power as well. Once blazened in these markets (2-3 years?) the desktop components may be ready for joe user and have the strength to break the MS stranglehold.
Why? Because Microsoft is the (currently) largest commercial software producer. (yes thats a period)
When the largest company in any name space announces a new product for a new product space its indicative a (possible) new trend in computing.
So new trend + OS + mobile phone + applications = News for Nerds Stuff that matters.
Also it may also encourage your stock picks on your 6 month portfolio rebalance. I mean I wouldn't bet on any comercial company in a product space to compete directly with microsoft.
Redundancy is a better solution than disposable media backup. Often more expensive, but infinately more reliable.
Code Versioning/document management on changing files to maintain history.
Your web hosting provider had 1 Raid system, thats only 1 level of redundancy (I know multiple disks - but on 1 system). If you want to truely ensure data you need redundant systems, such as networked backup to 2 additional machines that also utilize raid.
If the data is critical you need to examine points of failure. Thats what clustering, and load balancing offers - total redundancy.
Another very interesting to consider (in NJ atleast) is getting payed.
There is a legal obligation to pay employee's (W-2) for services rendered, in the case that the company does not pay for services rendered the employee is protected by state & fedral labour laws and can go to the Labour Board for help getting payment.
There is also a legal obligation between companies to pay for services rendered, however in the case that payment is not made, it is up to the corporation to follow the legal procedure (including incurring legal costs) to take the offending company to court to prove the services were rendered and the amount is unpaid.
I agree with you, the seperation of the ports is more secure due to the fact you need to do less filtering to monitor the incoming requests. However this assumes a competent administrator setting up the firewall, and your code is secure.
Forcing requests to utilize web services is an easier security model. Singular port monitoring is required and ddos, proper request structure, overflows and the like are handled by the web server, thus abstracted from your application layer and upgradable with less affect on your development. Also its assumed you are using a professional level web server (Apache, Iplanet, NES, or even IIS), meaning a greater user base resulting in problems getting found quicker and fixed faster.
Home experience means nothing in the eyes of an employer.
I can see three routes for you:
1) go to school for CS and then do 2 or 3 or find a school with a co-op program.
2) donate your time - Non-profit groups are always in need of help - implent a solution and support it. - Real, measurable experience.
3) the long way: get a job doing tech support at a small isp (make sure they use *nix in the back end. Work hard and do a good job putting up with the users and show huge intrest in the *nix stuff - and work your way into the admin position, thus building real experience before heading out.
The submitter is asking for who to send the request for proposal to, which has nothing to do with filling out a RFP. Its up to recieving company to first decide if they wish to submit a proposal, and secondly to to prepare the proposal if they are interested.
The proposal need not be nearly as encompassing as the rfp - of course the additional requirements will be established in contract negotiation which effectivly makes the rfp disappear. Also if the proposal is lacking the client (requestor) won't hire them.
Agreed. Whole heartedly if the person knowingly and purposely accesses/trespasses on a computer system.
What may also help with the virus propagation is to issue tickets, equivlent to speeding tickets to those propogating (unknowingly, knowingly would be a crime) a virus. ie: 2 days of propogation = $500 fine + 2 points off your sysadmin license or something like that...
Ahh but us programmers like our gui's to work they way we want them to. That means our gui's meet the needs of programmers. This is a result of the "scratch an itch" development model.
The GUI you're asking for needs to be developed specifically for ease-of-use. Not programmer usability. That means a programmer will need to spend a lot of time working with people of little technical background to find out what works for them. The biggest problem with that is that these people don't know what they want, they only know what their used too.
The interview doesn't give much insight over what value it adds over existing GUI's. Without indicating what its going to do better and what value this adds, there's no basis for calling it the Next Big Thing.
The interview, really seems to state that the next version, available when 3d cards are the default, will be the "Next Big Thing"
But seriously. I can't say I'm the most experienced VI user, as I've seen many people faster than myself, but I am faster than anyone else I've seen using another editor.
That said you must use the editor thats right for you. You may be the fastest when using editor X. Then use editor X until you find a reason to do other wise. I only suggest people learn vi because it works for me, and many others.
No/. doesn't predict the future but it does influences it.
Slashdot's community is a composed of many people "in-the-know" and in positions, allowing for both accurate analysis of technical issues and influencing (somewhat anyway) technical decisions.
Kinda reminds me of the Matrix, when Neo goes to see the Oracle and knocks over the vase.
Well I don't know about CD writing software, you may be correct there.
But there is a working MP3 player written in Java. And I also have read about a DVD player.
(Sorry I'm too lazy to go searching for the links for you - but just go google or something)
Does anyone know about future versions of Star Office, or a pure Java Office Suite?
Slashdot Mirror
case someone hasn't seen it this is funny as its a spoof from Mony Python and the holy grail.
In order for to cross the bridge, a troll asks you three questions, if you get one wrong you get tossed into the valley.
Actually let them Karma whore.
In order to karma whore they have to either: cause alot of page impressions
or
use their paid for pages from their subscription
So if the discount is less than the cost/page then it doesn't make sense to karma whore.
Also as long as you can never get to a $0 transaction its still a + cash sale for slashdot.
look at the XML
and add it to your page. Same diff?

I definately think we should band to gether and reply on this story to get it driven up the hall of fame listing.
Best Wishes to you both!
Uhmmm How many buffer overflow exploits & crashes have there been of the years?
But I do love C though...

Yep, You too can utilize mario to stomp out renegade requests, while luigie serves up cgi scripts to Bowser (hmmm could bowser be related mozilla?)
Just incase someone wasn't clear its Netscape Enterprise Server that is slightly more known for its web serving services than nintendo.

But for 100-200 bucks it might be a lot less hassle (or time consuming atleast) for a home LAN to grab one of these boxes.
I have used a linksys before and it was darn easy. Don't know about the NAT/Static simutaneous issue though.
Actually my cell phone does crash.
:)
....
Its a samsung 3500. If you try to record a voice memo with less than 1/4 battery it locks up - have to pop the battery (hard boot
Ocassionaly it will lock when browsing the phone book or the internet but not consitantly.
Not that I think I need linux on my cell phone though

That sounds like a challenge. Lets go.

You be you, I'll use vi.
Who said anything about VI being easy?
We just said its superior to use ONCE you know it.
Summary:
- Steep learning curve
- Very quick to use, and huge amount of functionality, once you know it.
Yes it will take some learning but its worth it, for those of us that do a lot of text editing.
you are SO right.
How many different types of cell phones/pda's can you think of? Many, right?
Wanna write an app for them? which one are you going to pick?
Portability. Write it in Java and all the units with Java suport can run it despite drastically (or not so drastically) different hardware.
