It seems to me VPN or IMAP over SSL has all the advantages of BB without the risk they'll sell you out. And has for some time.
yeah, I was pointing this out to clients as early as 2004. I had a working IMAPS client on a Treo 650 at the time. They wanted Outlook integration over security (despite always talking about their multi-billion-dollar IP that had to be protected at all costs). Lesson learned: most people don't care about security, they just say they do.
but unless you are talking about a commercially backed Open Source OS distribution with automatic updates, most systems
Yes, that's what most people run. Last measure I saw, Ubuntu + Fedora made up about 50,%, SUSE 10%, Gentoo about 10% (OK, not commercial, but very fast with automatic updates) and then Debian and all the others the last quarter or so.
So your complaint is that the last 15% or so where they don't have an update engine don't get updates? Or that Debian has a slow process? Trying to understand...
In the past, you'd see dozens of Linux users asking why their games were being rendered so slow, only to be told to delete the software version of OpenGL.
That was definitely true a decade ago when Mesa 3D hardware support was limited to a few VoodooFX cards. Are you sure that's true today with Gallium3D support in Mesa (since c. 2007)?
This is why I would never, Ever, EVER script a trade.... Why, praytell, would anybody want to accelerate their trading?
Personally I wouldn't script for speed, but I'd script it because I don't want to sit and watch prices all day. Follow this sequence of prices and tell me where we should buy:
If I just put in a limit order in to buy at 45, I'm doing OK. If I script it so that I buy when the price has fallen by 10% from the day open but the current price is higher than the previous price, then I bought the same trade at 43. A better algorithm might have bought at 40.
Yeah, I briefly flirted with a startup to offer this kind of service back in the 90's. We weren't well-connected enough to overcome the capital requirements to overcome the regulatory requirements.
That's the problem with a lot of 'future proofed' tech, noone sees it as useful until everything ties together.
Agreed with your analysis - just wanted to point out here that the KDE process allowed the activities folks to steal one of the four screen corners (the most valuable screen real estate per Fitt's law) for a feature that's not really ready. Then again, the stupid acorn has another corner, and it's rarely needed, so maybe I shouldn't be so surprised.
In most Open Source communities, this whole thing can take months.
Go ahead and look up a bug report for any recent vulnerability in a major linux distribution and you'll see this isn't true. Most critical security bugs get pushed to stable within a few days, perhaps a week, of being publically announced.
Now, it is true that often they sit on private disclosure bugs until a CVE or public exploit is made available. That's poor resource allocatio, IMO, but fixes for wild exploits simply aren't something that people fight over.
why don't things that affect one particle cause the entangled particle to also be affected?
They do, at a quantum level. Change the spin of one, and the spin of the other is affected. Do you mean as far as classical motion? If I had to guess, I'd suspect that in a true understanding of the universe they're not different particles, but one particle with multiple 4-space attributes. But that's hard to see from our 4-space vantage point.
Actually most of the work is done by the RAM expansion unit which comes with it's own DMA controller used to copy the video framesï much faster than the 6510 CPU ever could do.
So, yeah, it's being played through a C=64, but not by the C=64.
... for taking the problem seriously. I've been contacting folks lately when my unique e-mail addresses are compromised. Most never write back. I got a call back from the TiresByWeb folks, which seemed promising, but their IT guy told me that it was impossible, that the spammers must have guessed the address, and that they don't want to have me as a customer anymore. Your call if you want to ever hand them credit card information in the future.
(then again, I can think of some TV shows they could air this on where it would be over the heads of their audience. Perhaps they're expanding down-market to people who wouldn't recognize Cesar Chavez. People with no taste have money to spend on computers too.)
H.L. Mencken proposed an alternate justice system where a jury of (real) peers would decide if the retalitory actions an individual took were fair or not. The individual could be punished for going too far, could be found to have acted appropriately, or be found to have acted honorably.
In our current system, the State has exclusive authority over retaliation and if an individual retaliates himself, the State will retaliate against him.
It's not working and brings along with it all kinds of wars, corruption, and financial disasters.
that is before you consider different bands performing each other's music outright.
Which is wonderful.
There are many aspects to music. Sure, the sheet music data is one way to define 'music'. But listening to the way different musicians perform a piece of music is a separate way to enjoy and gain knowledge of music. That's the whole point of jazz standards. Or, for a pop example, listen to "You've Really Got Me" by The Kinks and then Van Halen 14 years later.
OK, so what does it cost to buy 12-24 hrs of time on this FPGA set? Their dictionary attack service is $17/20 minutes on commodity hardware. At that rate this attack would cost $25K and I care much less about it than if the attack costs $25.

You can't even quote the derp correctly.
huh?

You want to use shaders and all the latest OpenGL features but you can't because 90% of your user base is still using some old ass version of OpenGL.
Isn't that the point of the Mesa3D/Gallium3D stack - to use hardware where it's available and fall back to software (or skip features) where it's not?
I do computer security - anybody dumb enough to give us their password is too dumb to hire
Hey, I was sorta thinking of asking this of candidates and putting anybody who refused on the second-interview list.
Fine, but learn to live with the consequences.
Hey, fella, in these parts profits are privatized and gains are socialized.

Well, if was dropbox@yourdomain.com, I could see that argument
yeah, not quite that generic, and only that one site's address got spam, and it was a vendor I had a business relationship with.
sitename.YYYYMMDD@mydomain.com
Good thought. Now that I'm using LastPass this becomes feasible for me too. Thanks - I'll start doing that.

Arch is about vanilla packages. As in, compiled from the source as it is upstream. Why would that have anything to do with /lib vs /usr/lib?
All distributions determine --prefix for packages and provide a '-base' package which specifies system layout.

an unholy amount of electricity just to feed the CZ furnaces for the wafers/cells
Now that you mention it, that's not a bad metric - I'll buy solar cells when the solar cell factories are running on solar cells.

don't architects consider themselves to be artists?
Which is why it was a hilarious two-way slight. In two words, no less.

So, why have none of the other forsale sites caught on? I realize Craigslist is popular because Craigslist is popular, but then again, so was MySpace.

Assuming $17 per 20 minutes.
That's the trick - is the special purpose built hardware being rented out at the same rate as the commodity hardware (which is much less scarce)?
I think PJ is starting to like the smell of his own flatus so much that he doesn't want to stop eating beans, so to speak.
Those are golden beans, ninjagin.

but a great idea and an important concept no doubt
we used to do that with supermarket loyalty cards. Nice!
