The answer to his question is this: Security. Email and web are the two most common things. You can cut costs on the dedicated T1, as long as you can guarantee security, for your email and web transmissions. Email is more important, but it would be nice to have a webpage with links to preventative medicine and perhaps bulletin boards for people to talk about the emotional problems caused by their illnesses.
If you want your waiting room to have some cheap terminals, fine. That would eliminate much of the bad feeling many have about hospitals and visits.
Don't forget to have some infrastructure for yourself. For example, you might want to be able to call up your patients' email conversations at will.
Next time don't go to a midwestern college.;) I know about Umich (and it's called the SHAPIRO library;), and it's not really the least conservative place in the world. I imagine at Stanford you'd be welcomed with open arms, and not second guessed.
What you miss is that the media can define culture. Katz is a journalist, and often journalists create self-fulfilling prophecies. This increases their accuracy.
Unfortunately you're wrong. Emacs is all about functional languages. The main Gnu extension languge is a functional language. (Emacs-Lisp & Scheme, respectively.) And neither of these are toys: You can't configure Emacs without using the functional language, unless you really want to rip through the sourcecode to "configure" something.
You misread the article. The person mentioned that the team was willing to change languages. Taken from this standpoint, the poster's comment was very informative.
The nice thing about a well-designed financial network is that it needs to save almost no extra state on the server, except for logs. That means that a cracker can't be guaranteed that the backdoor will not be wiped out from a clean install from a standard image.
"Professional" financial website designers need to make sure that everything in question works against crackers, not for them.
There is a utopic view of things and a pragmatic view; if every admin understood the consequences of open relays enough to feel bad about it, most of these spam problems would be over with.
How did you scrape together the +1, if you make posts like this? I don't mind you having a bad day (typing this is my way of getting my aggressions out), but if you really believe your own post, you are the one mistaken about the odd thing.
Mhm, you totally missed the part about my free code for everyone for everything if it's written to be free. That's really conventional isn't it. You must be a hellishly mediocre person if you are blind to what people say and only hear what you want.
No, you're just being angry; whether I taunted you past endurance is another question. But I won't apologize, since you weren't above calling Sig11 mediocre, so you can take what you dish out.
As for your point about "free code for everyone for everything if it's written to be free"... Real unconventional on Slashdot. Nothing wrong with what you're saying, except I pointed out your kneejerk attack on Sig11, despite the fact I personally find him distasteful.
That is really it. A good writer? Thinks. Writes. Reads. All sorts of things that may or may not be orthogonal to the act of writing. And a programmer? Is there a cookie-cutter way to become one? And would you want this cookie-cutter way? The fact remains that only you know what helps you learn, how you go about things, and all deRaadt can do is provide some encouragement.
What's wrong with you? He answered a legitimate question some would have when deciding whether to fill out this survey. Though he contradicted himself, it does not mean there was no information. If his original post wasn't modded up, I wouldn't have read the next comments -- moderation is a tool to find information, but once I acquire the information, I look through the replies for clarification/contradiction.
I'm at an OSX/java conference in Spain right now, and I just find it interesting. It seems like people just post for the reason of posting; and when they're in a bad mood, they bash on something with an audience to watch.
What does one expect, when the information is volunteer-based? It's a good thing, it's a safety valve for some people who are frustrated.
For anyone's information, FreeBSD on the mac rocks, I'm running on a MacOSX build that's probably less than a week old and while there are bugs, its much less than one can expect with the first version of Windows releases. The dock (analogous to the Start bar) is very inconvenient for multiple windows, and I don't think they will change this design for the next release.
What else to say? Pretty, since they use lots of alpha shading (transparency, that is). Nice to use when it becomes stable. You can probably treat programming graphical apps for it as like programming for a window manager that happens to be closed-source but more stable. (Do you want to program for that? Up to you.) The languages of choice will be Objective-C and Java, with nice graphical tools so you can do the UI in a day and the underlying logic the next.
I hope that anyone reading that post seriously (as opposed to just moderating) realizes that the poster is exaggerating for Karma. To develop on Mac OS X beta, the only real work can be accomplished on its native FreeBSD variant, Darwin. As Win9x was built on DOS, OS X was built on FreeBSD/Mach.
The largest website in the world (Yahoo!) is built upon FreeBSD. The poster doesn't have enough information to know the future of OS X, nor does he know that it's not the next Mac OS version, but rather the next NeXT OS version.
Moderate this up. Flatpack is certainly a "troll," looking back on his previous posts. Go ahead, click on Flatpack's info, he posts to get people to react.
Google is getting free feedback from people who complain... Companies in the past would have almost died for such barometers. I'm sorry if you don't think consumers should voice their opinions.
I do understand that one danger is that the vocal ones are inevitably the complainers. But those working at Google, who specialize in understanding information, should understand this fact.
Velocity of money. Suppose there were three people in the economy, and one dollar. Each day one person buys something from another, who buys something from the last person. That way, each person had the dollar once that day.
One day, they all spend it twice as quickly, so each person touches the dollar twice. Twice as much wealth, each person bought twice as many "things."
That is wealth: Velocity of money. If no one buys anything, there is no wealth (as measured by money). If everyone spends twice as quickly, there is twice the wealth. But if you go into debt, and people stop passing the buck....

You can always scale down when you have technology that can be very complex.

Intelligence is the bottleneck, not age. Anyone can sit down and read Design Patterns, but the temperament must be there.

No, Sig11 is apparently being highly effective in stirring conversation. Look at the points people raised in defense of abandonware.
He may be neurotic and have a curiously high ego relative to what he does, but at least he dares to be unconventional.
You must be a hellishly mediocre programmer, that you are blind to the good consequences of unconventional things and see only the bad.
He is, but he probably believes in his misquote.
Could you back up this statement? Without breaking an NDA?
I'm sure Vi is nice, but I'm sure you're not basing your comment on that...
Interesting, even Torvalds says that Linux isn't for everyone.

Why are you talking in MONOTYPE? Did Bush's subliminal messages get to you?!
Please list one (just one) Open Source Software program that is not also a Free Software program.
Visit http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/li cen se-list.html for a list of licenses that are "Open Source" licenses but not Free Software (such as Sun's Community license, Apple's APSL, etc).
What post did you read? ;)
