This company should learn a thing or two, from the notorious programmer/book-author Herbert Schildt.
This gentleman has been slammed by the members of BOTH the C and C++ standardization commitee, Academia, Usenet, and just about anyone old enough to write an Amazon review.
Herb however, acknowledges the "points" of his critics in his later books, but continues doing what he feels like.
He is almost the "abusive boyfriend" of programming books. You know "I am sorry baby, I don't spend as much time with you as I used, I know I have cheated on you, but BITCH, get off my back".
It is best for this company to acknowledge the inferriority of their products, but keep making them anyways. People wont notice it, just ask the millions of heart broken girlfriends with black eyes.
That is specially true when I am watching Maurry, and a fat teenage kid comes out in spandex, yelling "fu*peeep* Yall, you ain't getting this sh*peep*".
The OS takes care of process scheduling. The two never see each other; at any given instance, the running process has control over all system resources (atleast memory and CPU, can't speak for devices with built in HW logic.)
Each process owns the system register set, some memory pages, and a desginated stack area, for a time slice. As soon as its time is up, its context (registers, memory page descriptros, stack pointers, etc.) is saved, and another process takes over the system.
This happens too fast for you to notice, but the two processes never see each other. The only time Kazaa can corrupt the resources of your "decompressor" is when the two share persistant data (files, database tables/records, streams, etc.) and there is no way to independently developed, and installed programs can reference the same file (unless it was a system file, and they both know of its existance. But this is not the case in windows, which has a registry, and each installed app has its own entry in the registry, and thus there is no name clashes.)
Sun responded to the campaign in a statement. "Sun still does not see Microsoft as a real threat in the datacenter market where reliability, availability, serviceability and security are key," [snip]
"We are all about customer satisfactionability, system uptimeability, and cracker stopability", added Scott McCowboyNeal.

I started dating this girl, just because she works at a movie theatre.
Before, I used to befriend the ticket boys, and try to get to know them better, so they let me in when I want. But one of them was caught one day by an undercover security guy, and he never let me in again.
My new girlfriend gets a free admission every weeked, and she can bring one other person.
The only catch is, they don't allow us to see new movies. For example, we only saw LoTR last thursday (and I didn't like it.) But it is always free. Just buy your soda from a neighboring fast-food chain (it is cheaper there) and thank AMC for being good to me and my girl.

The bully M$ is standing at a corner, wearing a tight T-shirt with pizza stains, and equally dirty shorts. His hands red with pizza sauce and ketchup.
The poor boy RH gets called in by the Law. He is bitting his nails, shivering under his wet shirt.
The_Law: "Come here RH, don't be afraid, tell us what did he do to you?" RH: [looks suspicously at the bully, afraid to utter a word he might regret] M$: [smiles with evil, knowing nothing more than a wrist slap will happen to him.] RH: He... [burst into tears] he hit me, pulled my hair, took my pizza and [more cries] The_Law: [ANGERED] M$$$ M$: [shocked] The_Law: Don't EVER do that again to RH, now go and play together. M$: [takes RH by the collar, and to the play ground]
RH was last seen going down the slide, face first. M$ pushed him, rumor has it.
The proof that you can't teach "common sense" in a CS class. Here we have Adobe, a very successful software company, with some of the finest minds in its arsenal.
Adobe's "engineers" did not think that it would be a good idea to cache the pdf files they translate. So, now we have hits of slashdot proportions, all demanding an on the fly pdf2html translation of the SAME file, and dobe does every translation on its own, thus reverse slashdotting the original site, costing itself CPU cycles/memory, and costing us time!
What is so hard about a file-URL and a creation time-stamp key, that hashes into an HTML file in an PDF2HTML database?
I know this is off-topic, but you would think Adobe would know about common sense coding.. oh wait, this must have been done by their cryptography department;-D
P.S. this would never have happened if they released the PDF specs, or dumped the conversion tool in some public site (e.g. simtel)
This article lacks several elements, to make it a good post:
1) no images to mirror. KW feel left out. 2) no cranky webserver. It has been an hour, and not sign of slashdotting. 3) putting "navy seal" and "geek" is just cruel and merciles. 4) "chase the rabbit". that sounds a lot like "punch the monkey". 5) it is posted by michael. You really can't complain about michael. He is not taco or katz, and he is not a recurring item in the polls. Michael needs an scandal to make it in this business. For now he is way too clean cut, and perfect. I suggest he starts with a good handle.

That was a troll fp, moded to +2 insightful?

Props to all the fine trolls, and the not so fine ones.

"What is your favorite algorithm", then you have no idea what an algorithm is.
Let me put it in common english, so Joe-Six-Pack can understand:
"Hey slashdot readers, what your favorite way of solving problems".
Yessir, we have "a" favorite way to solve problem*s*.
A new low slashdot, a fucking new low.
with a little genetic engineering, we can all go around floating?
