To get Canadian immigration visa one need to have (a) a degree in something useful (b) a work experience (c) be able to speak English or French (d) and not be unreasonably old.
Also you need to prove you around 5k (not 30k) on an account in a recognized bank. Application processing times vary by the country, but AFAIK it's under 6 months for States.
For computer professionals there is (or at least was) a fast track called Pilot Project, which allows getting work visa in under 2 weeks with minimal bureaucracy and 0 (zero) money requirements. It does require a valid job offer though.
Now you speak the spirit without knowledge and ask for your spirit without knowledge to provide a solution during the night to you problem. Now let go from all the concern and go to sleep.
Another variation is to sort of think to yourself - 'need to wake up at 7am' and then go to sleep. Strangely enough it works for me two out of three times; eventhough I'm a night person and would normally sleep until 11-12 if undisturbed.
Not very practical because of the failure ratio:), but it does make one realize how little we still know about the brain function.
He is NOT questioning why somebody would develop this. He is NOT saying there is no use. He merely wants to know what makes SkyOS special.
However he forgets to add what that special is for him. For some people IPv6 support is a major feature, for others it's the popup menu transparency. So he sounds like a troll:-/
The reason so much GPL software exists is because developers like the license.
Yeah, but how many of GPL'ed projects are actually useful and complex enough to spawn any commercial activity around them ? I personally know plenty of programmers who have no clear preference between GPL/MIT/BSD/SleepyCat/etc because in the end neither is realistically enforsable for an average small and mid-size project. The real reason so much GPL software exists is because GPL is a reasonable default choice of an open-source license, not necessarily the best one from the business perspective.
Much simplier approach, which is widely used here in Canada and in the most of Europe, is to embed sensors in a form of loops of wire into the road on each side of the intersection. The loop can sense the car directly above it, which allows streetlight controller to learn the length of the line-up on every side and switch the lights accordingly.
They should've gone one step further - accept only authenticated (TLS'ed) SMTP connections and manage whitelisted certificates instead of IP addresses. This would require gradual implementation and will take time longer to setup, but once deployed the management would involve significantly less headache than with IP whitelists.
More often it happens that you need to add a member, but this is not possible without breaking binary compatibility (at least on the usual Linux/Unix compilers).
By adding a member you are modifying an interface. What binary compatibility do you expect here ? If you need to extend a class-based interface, derive new class, add your new member there and publish it. If you are merely adding public data to your interface, you should simply add new access method(s). What Mr.Straustroup says is that in this case your data does not belong to the class, but a struct and your API should not be class-based. Feel the difference.
Invariant-based criteria for choosing between the struct and the class is the guideline for designing clean and elegant C++ code.
In this situation, wouldn't you just connect to the ISP's SMTP server and send the email?
This would be in a perfect world. In (Canadian) reality, largest TelCo in BC (telus.net) does not seem to know what SMTP authentication is and thus its SMTP servers simply reject any emails coming from outside of their dialup/dsl network.:-/
Now try guessing how long it will take this smartbunch to start supporting SPF..
I don't think there is a way to implement and/or support SPF for large email hosting services such as msn, yahoo, etc. Majority of their client base is roaming users; supporting SPF will require tracking what IP address particular account has been accessed from in past N days/months.. which would clearly constitute as a huuuge privacy breach for paranoids among us:)
Not sure if it's an appropriate thread, but it looks as good as any for a shameless plug:)
Yours truly put together quick utility - dnsfix, which monitors inbound DNS responses and tweaks result codes from 'success' to 'no-name' for those referencing specific IPs. In other words, it can be used to transparently negate the effect of VeriSign's SiteFinder "service" and restore DNS behaviour expected by (currently broken) spam filters and alike.
Freshmeat activity level is not necessarily a good indicator for CIPE, which comes bundled with some linux distro. I know quite a few people who were aware of CIPE weaknesses and still used CIPE for exactly that reason - it came bundled.
DCC (Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse), which is as its name suggests a distributed spam detection and filtering network, shows no visible decrease in spam volume during the last couple of weeks.
The description of their client software reads as a crafted marketing message ('free this, free that') and sounds a bit too good to be true. Also they are not immediately perceived as people doing it for the fun of it, they don't disclose sources and 'f*ck corporations' attitude is not convincing enough to justify what seems to be very big development effort. In other words -

Check Citizenship and Immigration Canada site for details. 2c.
We're just as greedy and racist as the rest of the world.
May I ask what particular race would you be referring here to ?
That was essentially an unsolicited debug output, :)
ie coredump. Not my kind of diagnostics

Good plan. :)
However keep in mind that $1M for reversing ECC is waaaaay too cheap.
That's if you'll manage to survive after you break it

Open by draggin the file from the filer to the app.
Sound pretty much like vintage MS Windows (1.0 or 2.0), where the user dragged a file icon from one screen area to another to get it open.
Let's just hope his wife doesn't read either NYT or /. Otherwise Jerold's "I'd-tell-her-about-it-later" conversation may not go as planned :)
Maybe I'm nop paranoid enough, but I've never been too concerned about the security of people's passwords after root has been compromised..
It's not about the paranoia, but rather about the fact that people tend to use the same password in more than one place.
Does the Nexus have a back door to Microsoft or anybody else, I asked Manferdelli directly following the presentation. "No" was his simple answer.
Am I supposed to trust this answer ?
Ya, right.

Real programmers don't use compilers. Good old
c:\>copy con program.exe
works just fine.
Yeah, right.
Harassing them with fully disclosed vulnerabilities,
which would take under a day to patch even in case of the unimaginably
horrible code ?

Frequently msn/yahoo emails appear as reply-to in messages sent through other (home/corporate) servers, and that's where the problem is.
In this situation, wouldn't you just connect to the ISP's SMTP server and send the email?
