Nothing is more embarressing than a mainstream movie trying to show some computer subculture. Just by the fact that watching people hack without the proper knowledge is even more boring than watching American Football without the proper knowledge. So they have to make it exciting to everyone, wich cannot be done without getting stupid. I think the only movie that got the right balance was "23".
But mostly it is a random listing of buzzwords with some graphics of altering quality.
It would be a nice poll to pick up the stupidest dialouge involving computers in a movie or TV show.
A rich source of such things is "Golden Eye", which isn't a really bad movie apart from this.
Who else is pissed off by this movement of being a geek is a statement, and self-celebration. Don't get me wrong, I'm probably one of the most geekish persons I know, but I'd like it to be more of a silent agreement. Don't make it a political movement.
As it is written in the Jargon File for hackers(which I started to read yesterday the first time), you're developing these traits on your own, not by trying to become like this.
I don't know whats going on in the US, but it seems to me that there is quite a split in the American education system and the sides are geeks and sports. This is ridiculous. I was a geek long before I knew the word, but I never assumed being smart has be communicational cripple(stereotype alert). One of the most talented mathematics I know (I was in his class and knew him since kindergarten days) became a hardcore biker with a deer scull on his bike celebrating christmas with a sprayed black tree with dead rats on it. And he is still one of my friends (though I see him rarely now). Or another person I lived with in one flat and I just can call a genius mathematician and hacker (an AI freak) was a die hard punker in his teens(though his hairstyle is quite normal now) and still is it in the heart. Or the most competent Linuxer I know gives the heaviest parties(with lotta chicks) I've ever seen and is a physically quite impressive bodybuilder.
Of course they all have certain heavy, but always different, geek traits. But they are not limited to this.
Quite a bit off topic.
no company can take 3-7 young ISO industrial standard humans, teaching them some steps and let them annoy any sane person for years, just because they have the money and the influence to do so?
Any creation done without some management background, that is peeping on custumers.
This reminds me of something.
Once people were sacrifying anything to and blaming anything on god(s). Today the market takes more and more this place. (Unemployment? That's the Market! Free use of code? Thats destroying the market!)
Organon, (the name I used on several other sites) was taken. ooze sounds good and is a mangling on a fancy project I just started called oose (object oriented system environment).
My argumentation is based on my personal opinions and my (sometimes lacking) knowledge, but I do not claim them to be morals and should work for others, too.
Everybody can still do whatever he wants to do. He just has to live with the consequences. My neighbour can, of course, throwing shit in my house, and it is unlikely that I can prevent him from doing this, but he has to think of me not liking it and taking the in count actions I might do in response.
Any personal or human rights are illusions. You say central African people have the rights of having food and not being slaugtered and raped, too. But what is it for, when there is no food there, but thousand of people who want to slaughter and rape are there?
I know I'm a winner just by the fact that I'm born in central Europe. And it pisses me off.
BTW, why is being insane bad? Who judges insanity?
Why complainig to anyone special? I either complain to myself or to anyone who is interested (such as at/.).
I'm not sure evolution is entirely random. The fact that something that complicated as a working eye evolved several times independend of each other (insects, molluscs, spinals and even jellyfishes(that have no brain to process visual data)) has braught some idea of a "masterplan" to me. But I don't think we will be able to understand such concepts (call them whatever you like).
So they figured out how cell membranes can be created. And it falls on earth(and other objects) all the time. But how the DNA molecules could get control over membrane creation. DNA reproduces itself by chemical reactions, with or without membranes. But at a special state this reproduction of DNA has to trigger the reproduction of membranes, and more improtant, control special attributes of the membranes.
Cathalytic effects?
I'm confused.
Ok. They are pissing off many other coutries and organizations with their "I'm the ruler, I'm right, others have to serve my way of life." attitude. Just think of climate conferences.
But why the hell anybody should want to attack them? To rule them?
If any sane person had to do something like running an American election campaign for just for getting the illusion of ruling them, it would refuse to do.
To extinct them?
Damn, it is quite agreed, that genocide is bad, bad, bad (with the exception of Ruanda, where the UNO and Nato (thus the US)watched without doing anything, because a war would be unpopular and Ruanda is not of importance). And it would be a pity for not having all those intelligent Americans in the world who know their country is just sick.
To force them to spend some charity to the rest of the world, as lowering energy consumption, giving away control of the main DNS servers or explaining baseball rules?
Nobody merely wants that. It's just not worth the efford. Even if they had no army at all.
Just imagine an evil half hungered Korean to convince a Hillbilly it is good to give him some food.
Or Fidel trying to take Miami. (BTW Guantanamo runs out next year?).
They all want just a normal relationship. But the general lack of American diplomacy is just coming from the fact, that they never had to come along with real superiour fellow.
BTW, christianity is based on Plato and Aristotle up to a certain degree.
I'm not religious, but I'm not sure I'm an atheist. I believe there is something, man cannot and will never understand. But as soon as you get special with this, you are lying. So let's keep it that fuzzy.
I like a lot the IA64 assembler, wich has a quite intuitive syntax (sometimes reminds me of a higher level language) and will allow a lot of dirty tricks, as it even has a built-in endian switch, byte shuffles in the registers, and e.g. parallel instructions of 8 bytes in one register, in two registers at a time, (what possibilities for string.h or clipping algorithms!).
I often think, being awake is only to have something to dream of.
This gonna be a good GNU/Linux year

2.2 vs 2.4

· Score: 1
New Kernel with a lot new features, new gcc with a lot new features (finally one with a proper C++ support), new KDE with included better Kdevelop...
We will get a boost of new software and support.
So we just need a good packaging standard for all and running a free software system will be possible to everyone. But getting rid of old (quasi)standards is hard, as everybody knows. (A20 gate, tube monitors still have analog input, althoug monitors with an own DAC are better adjustable, there are still C libraries using K/R syntax, there is still no full xml/xslt/MathML/svg featured web browser, BIOS updates run still with DOS, but cheasy keyboard with 156 Windows/IE/Menu keys and a space key(no space bar)are the only ones available.
That's the point! Wider easier and cheaper access to the web. It's almost ridiculous, how the information technology is hampered in Germany by monopolistic Telekom. They are unable to provide proper installation services for any communication technology (DSL, ISDN, analog, doesn't matter) and they even want money for this incompetence. And they even stop any other infrastructure provider that shows up and might do better. As a result there is still no real flatrate in Germany. And this in a technical progressive country (at least once)!
I only want a 56k flatrate connection. Then I would be able to use apt with debian ftp servers or use online help in a proper way. I don't want streamed porn videos and GBs of mp3s. I just want the time to read without paying for every word.

Maybe this can be used to build some processing devices entirely in optical technology for glass fiber switches, as this seems to be a problem today.

I can't believe it. Over 100 years past Nietzsche there are still discussions about morality!
Let me say it again: Morals are arbitrary, and completely (group-) subjective.
BTW, does anybody even think of the ancient greek pederastic educational system being the origin of our western culture? ;)
Basic rule: As long as all involved have no problem, there is no problem at all.
Just imagine: You just invented simple Scottie-beaming-technology and you'll try to make that available to everyone by selling it in cheap devices.
What a threat! Everybody would be against you!
And that are just the most obvious!
So I can understand media companies feeling threatened. As they will have to change or they will vanish
Who does remember the publishers? Authors matter!
You know what I mean. All those Windows, menu and web keys will soon make the space bar and the Ctrl-keys smaller than the regular keys.
I just want a plain keyboard with 101 keys and maybe a built-in fridge, to prevent all the pizza cumbs between the keys from stinking.
