Ridley Scott's vision of Los Angeles always seemed amazingly futuristic and innovative to me until I went to live in Taiwan. Ridley Scott went to Art College in Middlesborough, which has the huge ICI chemical plants on it's doorstep. That's his starting point. The inclusion of a large Asian population seems in retrospect almost visionary.
The DHS is a high-value target; both attackers and defenders know this. Accordingly, the defenders have to take the appropriate precautions particularly as any bad news such as this will play well with their bureaucratic enemies and (eventually) their budget or who heads the DHS. It's incompetence, pure and simple, on a lot of fronts.
Stop being a Bush fanboi. The New York Times published the article outing the wire-tapping, for which act they've been villified and pilloried by every right-wing politico who had a cheap shot to make. I seem to recall that act being called treason on more than one occasion. Bush was *forced* into being "open" about illegimately then had to pass retrospective legislation to make it legal.
What worries me is that your blatant piece of propaganda got labelled informative, and that the saner comments following will be ignored.
IIRC, the Vtec guy should not have been able to buy a gun; he was, after all, certifiably nuts and there are I believe laws that ban this sort of person from buying a gun, even in Kentucky. I got a feeling that these are federal laws, maybe someone can verify. Accept that the gun-sellers apparently don't give a crap about compliance with even minimal laws like this, presumably because of the lack of enforcement (you can probably blame the Gun lobby for this, and the Bush kowtowing to the Gun Lobby).
So, the US has some gun-laws, they're just not enforced very well.
On top of this, the Bush response, so typical of lawyers, is to invent more laws, rather than fix the implementation of the current laws. Of course, the latter requires action and money.
IMO, more guns == more death. How the fuck a fully-armed citzenry is a good thing, I don't know. That's just a recipe for more chaos and death. But hey, it's not my country.
Did anyone actually *read* the NY times article? *rolls eyes* this truly is a dazzlingly brilliant strategy for Microsoft. Legal problems with Big Gov? Insert your own people into the process... then everything comes up smelling of roses!!!
Rule of the people by the people for the people? This is more like rule of the people by big govt for big govt.
You got me wrong here. Guarantee of delivery *is* essential for multi-core delivery. However, MSMQ is for building very, very large distributed systems, and is similar to Java Messaging Systems, CORBA, whatever product IBM has these days. It's across these big distributed systems that the balance of guaranteed delivery v speed takes on a slightly different flavour. You want the message to arrive, but the speed, in relative terms, is less important.
I'd be surprised if MSMQ were the mechanism for delivering messages at the language level such as Ehrlang.
The average livejournal customer *pays* for their account. It's crap-all to do with "free". As a paying customer, I have a right to put what the fuck I want on my journal, within the terms I signed-up for.
Clearly, LJ has fucked up. Their source of income is walking elsewhere.
1. Message Queues tend to be for the Big Iron. You can buy MQ software from IBM, or use the Java Message Service. It's usually for message queues, security in terms of guaranteed delivery and service over networks rather than speed. Typically, messages are kept in a database until consumed etc. MSMQ looks to me like this; it's a me-too clone.
2. Messages assoiciated with multimethods - python etc. This are language oriented messages.
The latter would be more likely to be used with multicores.
Yeah, that's right. Let's herd these people into a ghetto where they can be easily contained, controlled, and rounded up when the time comes. That's the spirit. We see an example of precisely that, bending the web to meet a pressure group's whims.
Web2.0 makes it easier for people to do these things, so now we're excluding a whole class of people who want to take advantage of web2.0's ease of use? LJ got where it is today precisely because it had a liberal policy. And where do the exclusions stop? Who's to say what the nutjobs will take a dislike to tomorrow?
really, stop blaming your stupidness on other countries. Stand up, show leadership for a change. And not the boot-on-the-neck-we're-taking-your-oil-supplies kind either. that stuff is getting old and getting people killed.
Every time I see a topic like this come up, it's "Oh, look at China, look at India." Dude, it's about time you guys starting taking responsibility for your own shit. Or don't you get taught that any more?
what's lighty like with mysql in the mix - I run a LAMP installation which could go faster... an article on fine-tuning LAMP installations would be useful:-)
James Doohan in his way did a fuck-of-a-lot for the space industry. How much would it cost NASA to put him into space? Absolutely peanuts in relation to the rest of the fucking waste on those programs. And they'd get a fuck load of PUBLICITY into the bargain. Fair burns my dilithium tubes to see Doohan treated in this way.
These "cures" are all driven by the desires of wealthy westerners. Cure for malaria? AIDs? Flu? finding a way of pushing Big Pharma into researching a quicker method of producing flu vaccine would be a start. Big Pharma has made huge profits. It's time they put a little back.

very funny - and very true

did I hear someone mention Landru?
At times of great political crisis for the Republican Party, the threat level goes up.

Using Win98 is hard to source components for, but it's doable and cheap as well.

1. The indexer runs in the background continuously
2. No API to turn it off.
Why is slashdot full of MS trolls today? I notice they're avoiding the question of why the US govt is now part of MS's out-reach program.

why is this post "insightful" when the poster has clearly no idea what LJ is about?
How many times has this has to be said:

there are two sorts of Message Queues:

and a couple of other SF Writers-nutjobs were advisers to Reagan on Star Wars - see assorted nutjobs advise another on the conquest of space and look how well that's going. What can go wrong?

Can we have some examples to back up your assertions?
Also, whilst tanning, read a fucking book.
