We can't be certain but I speculate that they
didn't want to appear "lazy" by "stealing" anyone elses code, regardless that it was completely free.
Funny, if I had of done that I would want credit from my employer for reusing other (Open Source) code and not wasting time developing it from scratch. Save the company time and effort....
...good companies are ran by clever lazy people. This guy seems to be dumb and lazy....
Then you have never been behind a redneck or an old lady who can't figure out a POS terminal. The cashier has to go to the
other side of the register, swipe the card for the person, and then tell them to punch in their PIN, then has to wait for
authorization, and then hits the yes (confirm/accept/etc.). Then go back to their side of the register, and hand the person their
reciept.
and I've been stuck behind british tourists trying to work out which U.S. note is which because they are not different colo(u)rs, don't ask me why, but stupity (this isn't really the word to discribe people who aren't used to another currency or aren't used to ATMs.. but who cares) won't go away just because cash does.....
Some times I've asked myself the question "how much does money effect the my quality of my life?"
Many people could be fast to conclued that money provides quality of life and the more money you have the better quality of life you have.
Some time I've asked myself the question "how much does money effect the my quality of life for a country?", some people will be fast to give the same answer.
Upon inspection, the answer to the first question need some refinement to be correct: "that money provides quality of life and the more money you have (compared to everybody else) the better quality of life you have."
Some times I asked myself the question "What are things that give my life quality?", these things would be different from everybody elses. For me the things that give my life quality include, surfing (in the sea not on the web), being by water, being with my girlfriend, hanging out with my close friends, smoking pot, drinking my fav. beer (New Castle Brown Ale), helping people, eating every day, looking at art, listening to music, researching interesting things, the internet.
Somethings that have no bearing on the quality of my life: TV, needing a better car, needing to express myself as better than other people....
I think almost everything that makes my life good could be available in a society without money (some items maybe more readily available than now).
Brew my own beer, grow my own pot, and share it with my friends, surf when the waves are good, tend the garden when they are not.... I'd be happy. I could almost consider giving up the information IV (high speed internet connection) for a cashless society.
28K(ukp/stirling) sounds a lot at first, compared to the market value of robot dogs these days it's well on the pricy side for a toy. But once it starts doing some thing useful it will start to take away low end jobs, cleaning the rest rooms, making shoes for Nike and other things that children could be doing and earning the princely sum of 50cents a month.
Of course we know that childern provide a better value work force than robots, but what about those pesky adults, in the western world it won't be hard to cut expences....
I used to love the idea of making a bipod robot when I was younger, now I they seem scarey... are we making suicide bombers for the west? I'm going to stop now...

started by a company with microsoft in there name. First research lab to invent a talking desktop paper clip. First company to make Bill Gates really rich. Erm....
They have been many many software research lab older than 10... you've just got to have heard of companies other than microsoft.... look at the TCAD industry... or is that not software....
I think I have to be thankful for this bogus shortage because if not for it I might not have been here now...
It's not so bogus. Companys are wanting to save a few $K and wait 3 months for the work visa so the new hire could start (while VC money is fly in all directions)?
Sure, they are a tonne of software sweat shops in the US, and they all took advantage of overseas engineers at low prices. But this doesn't account for the bulk of the overseas engineers. Sure, people on work visas generally earn $10K less, but this is normally to offset the costs/hassles of getting a visa (and applying for a greencard).
Some jobs just require more than two weekends of ColdFusion twiddling.... --
but we're talking 5GB Microdrive which goes into your PCMCIA type II slot - you can have 3-4 hours of "movies" (call it what you want -
but you have 320x240 resolution without anti aliasing etc...) - so they can be compressed quite easily with any codec... and that includes
stereo sound..
I was talking about MiniDV and above quality video (as in attaching it to a video camera or something). If your talking about moviez then you could probably get 10 *ok-ish* movies or 5 pretty nice MPEG-1 VCD quality movies. (It just happens I have all the Star Wars movies in VCD...;-)
Hmmm, will a Tivo ever have a PCMCIA socket.... --
Great for MP3s or filez, but when it come to video you want more the 5G of storage. 45mins
of DV footage? Very costly Meg per Dollar compare to MiniDV tape.
Could be pretty cool for still images, digital cameras? But once it's full that's a lot of images to delete. (Unless ofcourse it's only got 10 really high quality images on it....)
It's pretty neat all the same, wonder when the 60G version is coming out.....
Heh, isn't Kenny G himself enough incentive to not copy his CD, much less the copy protection on it? I mean, to really copy
protect, they shoulc have a Kenny G track on EVERY CD
Hell yeah!
But don't worry, you can read protect any CDs you are exposed to with a sharpy. Hmmmm, now pass me the Yanni CDs they need read protected as well.
Why don't you read the article on the site he linked to?
Why? I've already read it, actually I read it before I posted. Now, why do you believe that they are right? Just because you've read the article, or looked at the pictures?
It explains why they know it isn't from the shipwreck. The waves were
rushing south and southwest, never north.
And this doesn't strike anybody else as a bit far fetched?
I spend a lot of my time by and in the Ocean. I watch the Pacific almost daily, sand bars come and go, junk can be washed in land or stuck under the sand or wash out to sea.
I've been around for some some big storms, where lots damage is done, ships and boat are washed in land or miles up rivers and need towed back out (if they are sea worthy). Now here's the really gottya, even when big ships are wash up against trees and houses, deberries still get washed out to sea. Of course to make it even more likely that this is part of the Norwich City (the recked ship), look at the deberry scatter, it lines up with rush spot and the Norwich, Heavy wave action can back wash items back into the wave direction. Also with all the waves washing up they have to go somewhere with all that water, so a rip will be formed (look around the reck for a channel), this will suck broken off bits out a little, then it wouldn't be too hard for it to be washed up the coast a little bit.
So far I haven't see any decent linux DB solution never mind a decent open source DB solution. I'm guessing Red Hat are getting on this because nobody else has made any head way in the commercial linux db market. --
THE SECURITY HOLE exists in nearly every Web server running a default component of Internet Information Server 5.0 (IIS) on Windows 2000, Windows NT or beta versions of Windows XP, according to eEye Digital Security, the firm that discovered the vulnerability.
I think it's saying Windows 2000, Windows NT or beta versions of Windows XP are default components of IIS and have bad bugs.
Suprised? not really.
The security flaw is the second in as many months for Microsoft.
I'm noticing a trend with what MS produces.
Analysts are also jumping into the fray, warning consumers and businesses that Microsoft's latest round of products has problems.
The U.S. has more people in jail than an other country.
The U.S. makes prisoners pay for there stay by working for companies like Nike, Planet Hollywood and Microsoft (ever wonder which wako shrink rapped your MS word box?).
U.S. didn't abolish slavery, they just changed the rules and promoted some slaves. (Actually, this isn't fair to blame the U.S., other than letting the corperations run the country.)
a trick to get you to do all the hard work, while others slack off and make crap movies (or crap software).
I sure I would have a lot more fun if I was making movies and lying to people about how good they are so I could make money.
This isn't "bad judgement", this is fraud. It's a pretty that the companies we work for lie like this every day, about the things we are making.
(Only we call it marketing.)
oops - i replied before I even read the article! my comments still stand, but it seems he was doing cross compile not native compilation, so it was a fair benchmark.
the native vs cross compile will make absolutely not difference to the end binary (unless your using different compilers for each target).
Actually, the US does have about forty cents or so of tax per gallon of gas, so the US government could , by adjusting
the level of taxation, also provide a buffer for the price of gas. They apparently choose not to.
Wow, are you indicating that the US government should lower gas tax to counter the rise in gas prices by the oil companies??
Do you not realize the true cost of gas?
For every gallon of gas the you put in the your shinny SUV, the U.S. tax payer has already paid $6-$18 for that gallon (depending on it's location and if you are counting military funding required for that oil field). This is why gas is so cheap in the US.
Read this for more information The Real Price of Gas (note this paper doesn't cover military cost of gas).
"You can't pass out free software here!" that communisum!...

Amazon will continue to dirty practices as long as they can make more money that way. But in the mean time they ruin it for others. I will opt-out of every mailing list because companies will not respect your inbox. They don't care if they bug you with too much email for a "low traffic email list". Now they will try to stop you unsubscribing ("it may take up to two weeks to process your request" bullshit).
Let's see some laws to protect people. How about a minium "one working day" unsubscribe response time? How about verifying that you want to be on the list in the first place?
The bottom line is that companies don't care about winning your trust (or anything else that doesn't directly involve parting you and your money).
Maybe the dot com crash will spur companies to return to a more people based mind set.
HA! I can dream.... thank you for reading my whinning. --
