This takes all the fun out of "It's all fun and games until an eye gets taken out." I mean if you can get your eye replaced, it'll be fun to take an eye out too! (/joke)
Its actually kinda backwards for me. I thought the movie was too short. So much detail taken out and just cool stuff. Like Tom (as if THAT wasn't said enough), all those little details, like the part of the story where Merry and Pippin join Frodo. The Maggot family and the whole waggon afair.
IMHO, they should have made each book a movie. But that's my humble onion, er.. opinion.
You forget that NT had ONE key difference, it was all based off of unproved technologies. BSD, IRIX, HPUX, Digital Unix, all proven Unicies. Hell, MacOS is more proven than '95 and NT for the most part.
With MacOSX, I have ctrl-option-escape and kill -9:)
Well, using a stable "proven" os will work wonders as the underlying OS. Look at OSX.
On OS9 and OSX, i've had IE crash. It happens. Heck, i've had other apps crash. Under OSX though, its a LOT nicer about keeping the system seperate from the app being based on Mach and FreeBSD. At least under OSX, I can kill the app and keep running normally. I've had OS9 totally freeze, once in a blue moon.
So would it not be cool to see something akin to this for windows? Wouldn't it be cool to hit some sorta key combo that restarts the windows gui without killing off every app? Just food for thought, not flaming:)
You are right, it will bring BIG publicity mind you. Maybe enough, should it succeed, to use the hybrid vs "Windows(TM)"
There is no way you can deal intelligently with all those false positives (contrary to a metall detector, where you can find out very fast exactly what caused the alarm).
Of course there are ways. Most basic way is to do a background check, which can be done quickly provided the infrastructure is in place and a quick baggage check.
I think you are overreacting about recorded liars etc etc... If they are lying about say, murder, then there's prolly good reason it is on their record in the first place as well as the fact that they are lying.
Besides, its not expectant of eliminating terrorist acts, just reducing them as technology for terrorism surpass the technology of airport security.
Oh, I understand the role that -ac holds, but if anything, FreeBSD and -ac have similarities in that they are used more than OBsd and NetBSD for adding new features. I'd suspect that the non-branch more akin to NetBSD. Only difference between BSD's and Linux is that the -ac stuff gets put back into the "main branch".
It wouldn't be bad in the end if Linux did fork though.
I guess what it really comes down to is when the best of the best of all the branching is found, is it possible to remerge and is it in thebest interest to.
Hey, maybe the individuals may "lead the way" for certain projects in the end.
Well, I agree with you possibly. They need more time to become household names as well as good branding. After all, are you that confused that there's an OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and BSD/OS? It confused me at first, but it took 10 minutes of research to figure it all out. Not to mention one is at 3.0, another is at 4.4 (or is that 4.5) etc etc..
If there are different goals, not a bad choice for fragmenting.
Well, I mean compatability for just common executables in elf format. So no, kernel modules may not end up being compatable in the very end of things, but gcc would have to write the same ASM and hopefully the same glibc will stick about. So in the end, the only big difference is how memory is addressed, how task switching works, swapping.. all of those things that matter except in the binary code being read off of the disc.
Nothing is wrong with fragmentation. It might be amusing and good to see 3 Linux's on the scene. Hope the reasons for splitting would be more.. friendly than not. After all, has anyone really criticized the existance of 5 BSDs? Net,Open,Free,BSD/OS and Darwin. At least binary compatability would remain, no?
My point was it was fortunate and unfortunate.:) But why should we be concerned? To answer your question (briefly)....
What to care about Apple is no Microsoft. There is no perpetual motion of upgrades and contracts for Apple like MS has.
How Apple is making us care about them Mind you, there are, but think of the home users. MS has such a strong hold. Apple is simply pulling a Microsoft, except they are doing it in my opinion, a nicer way. Apps in OSX and Classic will work the same, mostly without the Classic emulation. And even then, there is good support for complete backward compatibility with it.
Why care at all We find such ways to combat MS, perhaps we should also find support for Apple, IMHO. A similar thing to care about is that the DJIA is back to 10k. The same reason applies to the WTC attack. Do you care that DeCSS has been found a freedom of speech? Perhaps, perhaps not. The entire mp3 revolution?
Maybe the concern isn't for you. Like microsoft. Point being, if you don't care for MS, Apple's existance, whether or not you like Mac's does affect you. After all, Apple hold's 5%. Linux,.5%, BSD some other amount. If you care less, kudos to you.:)
Did you go as far as to educate if you are concerned.
Its quite fortunate for Apple. Imagine all the old computers that must be phased out. Remember the whole era between OS 6 - 8? If I remember correctly, a lot of computers became.. obsolete. Wasn't that the time the PPC came into play? I am quite sure it wasn't Appple's intention to write an OS that requires 128 megs of RAM minimum, but think of all the profit it brings to this smaller computer company.
Unfortunately because it forces others to upgrade. Hell, I had to upgrade my G4 to 256 megs ram and now to get office for OS X.
Esscentially, they created a need, which forces users to spend a little more. I was a little suspect of this type of behavior and waited a little longer until OSX was actually out to get my mac. So Apple earned $1650 or so out of my pocket.
A fair trade for a really good machine, with a good OS from a company that's not doing as well as.. others.
That's the biggest problem with OSX sadly enough. The memory foot print is kinda.. huge. But then again, risc programs have the unfortunate problem of being a little bigger. So the whole PC 128 megs of ram doesn't compare well with a PPC with 128 megs of ram. Hell, with 256 it runs like a dream. With 128, it was running quite well none the less. I just couldn't open mozilla and use finder very well:)
Well, its a matter of your hardware becoming obsolete. Yes it runs classic really well. OSX requires a bit.. more. Fortunately and unfortunately. Newer hardware supports OSX wonderfuly. Not sure if its anyone's fault really. Just the desires of having a "really cool" OS.
As for the software thing, give it time. Just like how linux and the bsd's went from a.out -> elf, it takes time.
OSX isn't unfortunately suited to the population of mac owners who can only run classic and need them. Luckily, photoshop isn't my biggest need.. yet. And office is finally out, so I'm happy.
Just think of it as X11R6 with a really neet window mangler;)
You do realize, that age discrimination on the young side IS a problem. I've been working for a while now, 6 years professionally and it took me a few months to find something new. I live by myself. He has a wife and kid.
Life isn't fair, but he's asking for help, not someone to beat him down, which is what everyone is doing. Assume his story be true and try and be helpful instead of just being... angry or whatever the right term is against him.
In your opinion that doesn't count, but then again, you weren't there. And it wasn't my "pet project". It was for phizer, the big drug company. Please re-read my post.
Ah but for some, it is possible. Don't ignore that. For some of us, we actually have the ability to do professional programming, not necessarily on a scale of a team of 50 programmers writting a complex OS, but for substantial amounts of money for important things. When I was 16, I actually handled an annoyingly complex conversion program. Not an easy thing to write as the input kept changing month to month, but it is worthwhile experience, worthy of knowing.
As I've said, give the guy the benefit of the doubt. There's no reason to immediately smite his claim as he's coming here for help. We don't know this guy and already he's being slammed. C'mmon. Things aren't impossible, just improbable.
Well that is a very closed-minded view. Some of us start really young. I started programming when I was 16, and now being almost 25 (oi) I have 9 years experience. Graduated last year and I have had similar disbelief.
This guy isn't coming here to be disbelieved but for help. Give him the benefit of the doubt, eh?
Well, what usually happens is that someone catches wind of the movie and let other people know. There are reviews, etc etc.
Is it any wonder why Toy Story 2 did so well? Not completely because it was a good movie, but because so many have seen Toy Story. People had a clue what to expect before hand.
Mind you, by the amount of tickets, not the amount of money made. Times change, ticket costs change.
And you do realize, that Titanic had more appeal since everyone had to go see it vs GodFather which might not appeal to women. LoTR might not appeal to the non-sci-fiers.
I talking to a secretary once and she wanted to know a url for something. I mentioned a tilde (~) in the address and she literally said, with honesty, "Oh, you are getting technical on me." Had to point out where the key was.
Now, considering all the people who are "technical" plus all those who just happen to be on the web, is it too much of a surprise that LoTR could do this? I'll gladly go by ticket sales as an idicator vs imdb.com.
And don't think about going by DVD or VHS sales. For some, that's "high tech" as well...
Even at 6 lines of text, 20 characters each line to be modest and assume the best of lower case letters only. That's (20*6)^26 "strings", yes?
Mighty big number which can easily be used as a key to a database, or worse off, a bit mask of things, such as: fellon, rapist, ethnicity, salary, nationality etc.. information that might be read by others for not so kosher reasons.
I dunno, SSN's are good enough, or Lisence ID's, but at least I have more control who sees those, no?
