the government controls 99% of the spectrum, useable and experimental, and this is the first time they have ever given back a single kilocycle of allocation. in the past, it has always been nonprofit, public safety, and commercial use that has been tagged for reallocations.
congratulations for finally stepping up to the plate, and many more for uncle selfish.
is a resume entry, complete with a hires printout of the home page. One million bucks in promotion, and it's worth ten times that in self-promotion when he needs a gig.
this guy is a natural for promotion, advertising, product placement... he'll have a grand job someplace when he graduates, and could run an empire if his head stays on straight.
doesn't matter if it's the first instance of the art or not, he's PT Barnum's ghost's third clone reincarnated.
in fact, all of the severely handicapped companies you folks can think of, outfits that fit the legendary GM quote, if they sold sushi they'd call it "old stone-dead cold fish in weeds".... all of those outfits could use this kid.
congratulations, pard, make moral choices and be good to people, and you will have a long and wonderful life, and not want for anything.
maybe take two routines out of the code library, put everybody out of work, and cut off the users. they don't want no steenkin' interoperability. they don't want any other platforms.
that's how science works. everybody thinks you're a kook pushing a crock. evidence with errors looks better than evidence with absolutely no errors, and where everything exactly supports the theory. on its face, a work with all the curves being exactly the same should raise all the red flags you got.
once other researchers duplicate the claims, and prove the experiments are repeatable and the claims justifyable, then the real debate on some nutty new theory can begin.
until then, "it's a startling new claim that, if proven, may have far-reaching applications." which is how scientists say "well, foock me! -- first I've heard of it. does it really work?"
it appears this korean scientist doesn't have anything in his favor, and hope he gets through the Korean equivalent of McDonalds school (kimchee university?) to start his new career.
one by one, their creepy crawly tactics will get them all. diebold as rehabbed and taken through chapter 11 by the K street machine might as well go all the way down, LeFebure makes nice auto teller machines, and IBM does real good POP workstations for banks.
somebody is dragging a red herring across the trail here. both times I was in college, there were a tubload of foreign nationals studying for bachelors and advanced degrees in the US.
don't go counting total grads and equating that to all-US grads. red herring, indeed, masking the scent.
well, let's see here now... NASA learns everything it knows by putting up space flights. now they want to outsource it but keep paying for it. so NASA gets dumber and dumber and loses its ability to do anything except write checks.
you know, their clock radios don't even have backup batteries on the clocks! I'm politely but firmly telling folks who ask that Sony has a lot to prove all of a sudden, besides mostly me-too products, and they're off my list until they reanimate all the dead behind them.
congratulations, oh bearded one, for your infiltration of computers in the western world. and congratulations for keeping your sizeable stock holdings in Sony and Bertlesmann secret for so long.
there is no other plausible explaination for the number of times Sony/BMG has shot itself in the nuts over copy protection that cannot do what they want it to do. it MUST be a plot against humanity by the AntiChrist. no other logic works out.
MS is supporting every interface they ever sold with the exception of detail implementations of SCO Unix at the kernel level with Windows NT. that includes MS-DOS 2.10, four or five versions of windows basic runtime scripting, all kinds of stuff going back 20-plus years.
you can't unscramble that much spaghetti code and conflicting system calls to find the hooks to fix. by contrast, any wild-eyed wobbly who wants to break in and (pick one: wreak havoc, steal credit card info, make zombies, hack spy satellites) only has to find one hole in the snakepit to let his own snakes in.
so that's why they don't patch everything in windows. it's like counting to infinity.. just when you're almost there, somebody slams the door, and you lose count.
Travoltus had a SIG over here a few years ago that I copied down because I liked it so much... quoting...
63,000 bugs in the code 63,000 bugs ya get 1 whacked with a service pack now there's 63,005 bugs in the code.
that's where MS is at. Promoting Secure Computing, indeed. hard act to get on the road, that.
microsoft is also playing that game. you want a license for this DVD software, bubba. fine, here it is -- only you can't sublicense or show it to anybody, and there is no sort of add-on, and it has to run in layer 0.
oh, that means it won't work under OS Linux? gee, too bad, guess you screwed yourself by not being locked-down, then.
that's why you don't have licensed DVD players on your distros. and why the MS so-called open license for their file system for office doesn't really mean anything when you look at it, it's just words with nothing behind them.
and mr. Bell South Bigwig should have a little visit from one of Washington's finest.
particularly if his little plan interferes with DHS/FBI/m-o-u-s-e plans to get in line first and look over everything else that moves by. that little project never seems to go away, and always seems to have priority over what the moneygrubbers want to do....
and not be able to communicate with users or other developers, and you have a chance. that's all that american business seems to want in the operator/coder/bugfix categories. until business gets off its slide to the bottom in salaries, respect, and perks for employees, you are going to have a rotten yield both in enrollments and in placements at the associates' level.
the good news is, training "c" level corporate officers appears to be something that you can do in a semester, so you can crank out a lot of them. all the candidates have to be is bullheaded, obnoxious, steal from the safe on the way to and from the coffeepot, and have the ethics of a sick snake. and they don't appear to have to read history or corporate reports to make a living. so staff up for "c" level training.
there has to be a third totally clueless idiot to follow the other two spiralling down the black hole to obscurity.
Sony/BMG is proven totally hopeless, particularly when somebody demonstrated that a little hunk of electrical tape on the CD's outer tracks will kill the entire bogus session-2 rootkit PC-munger altogether, and allow the CD to play like it was a real CD-DA.
RIAA thinks they're wits, and they're half right.
Notice we haven't heard from any of the usual suspects in Congress yet, the bought-and-paid-for brigade. DHS for once pointed in the right direction when they implied that Sony/BMG is the terrorist. The entire rest of the free world plus those souls who can blog undetected has called the incomptents out to the alley.
So on the pattern of 3 makes a crowd, there's still one more village idiot that needs to fall in front of a Eyewitness Action News Home Team Leader satellite truck and be recorded as too dumb to breathe in this rape of the legitimate users.
Will it be DoJ not charging Sony/BMG with computer terrorism in court? Will it be our Fearless Leaders looking to crawl in bed with another corrupt and unpopular business giant? Or will Metallica and Lars come screaming out of obscurity yet again to prove once and for all that head-banging is not healthy?
nothing that seems to have invaded either the mac or the win-me machine at this juncture, so the older BMG stuff appears to be in play on this disc. mac shows no files other than music files on the disc. there are no EULA pop-ups, and no calls home. I checked on a hard disk I don't care about.
the local scene is vibrant around the twin cities, but I haven't been lately, so I'm a little out of touch on it. the Cities Sampler should be out, so I can check that, of course. but my list runs from ages 20s to 80s, and the Brian Wilson Band seems safe across all ages as a welcome gift. nothing like the Electrified Barbwire Noseclips would get me invited back, I'm afraid, around most of the decrepit fogies (50s) that I'm related to:-D
but they've already infected millions. Sony gets no money from me, until they have rectified every one of their infections, and promise never to do it again.
with the exception of BMG label Arista's Brian Wilson Christmas Album, that doesn't appear to have the rootkit, and I will buy appropriate copies for gifting. Sony bought BMG a few months ago.
a Sony CD with the rootkit. the metallic liner inside will trap all the evil karma waves and you hear nice Van Zant music in your fillings. as long as you have four or less fillings.

so maybe al qaida was right, we HAVE to go back to 700 AD. it will become US federal law, not just the breath of the imam...
either nobody was surprised, or their hands have been cut off.

I'm guessing it took ol' Otto ten hours to write his screed because he had to wait for his machine to reboot over and over....
that they got selling this poorly documented system that is not responsive to state law. to do otherwise is interstate fraud.
