I loved the movie. The cut-up style was fabulously done, and the plot was fun. There was nothing wrong with all the jump shots and I think that they definately added to the movie. Life is fast-paced and usually non-linear and I think Guy Ritchie captured that well. And how can you complain about all the killing in the movie. It was always portrayed in an amusing way.
Be sure to see Lock, Stock and two Smoking Barrels too. It might even be better that Snatch
so most servers could be doing this if their Admins wanted to set it up.
It is difficult enough explaining over the phone how to set up mail.domain.tld as the pop-3 and the smtp server. Let alone how to set up the ssl connection in X different mail clients.
Leave it to the customers. If they want it encrypted, they'll encrypt it.
I started at 11 with Borland Turbo C++ 2.0, real standard and simple with the iostream joys of C++. It is simple enough that it doesn't cloud the experience with a huge gui, but it runs on win32. I remember an announcement a few months back about Borland giving away old abandonware, so turbo c++ might even be free.
Napster is a distributed application for sharing mp3's over the internet. It really is a fantastic idea in that there is only a centralized database listing who has which mp3s. When you want to download an mp3 your client negotiates a connection with the other client who has the mp3.
You can log on and find more than a collective terabyte of mp3s being shared by hundreds of users. I really think that this is the future.
I really think you are looking at if from a nerds prospective. I love naming conventions. Nothing is quite a soothing as when everything lines up nicely and you feel at one with the universe, but when you look at it from a marketing perspective http://www.wings.kfc.com/xtratastycripsy is nowhere as catchy as http://www.buyourfat.com. At this stage in the internet naming game, all people know is *Your Product*.com. God forbid you get stuck with a.net or a.org in the publics mind. And as history proves, you can't educate society you have to cater to their ingnorance.
Maybe in a few years when all the naming conventions are understood by everyone, I can be content with a single DNS zone file, but until then I have 6 and I'll be adding one soon whenever they pick a domain for their next product. Its nowhere near quality administration, and I'm not gunna bother explaining anything to them because they get me for $8.50 an hour. And that isn't enough to make me care.
I ran into an interesting situation this summer after developing a web related product for a small midwest company. Now when it came to naming the product I decided on a name that ran with their product line and accurately described the product. But when we went to look at the.com domain, it had already been registered 4 years ago. The page on the site is an underconstruction page, with copyright date 96-98. The company can not even be contacted. Our main dilemma is whether or not we can name a product when we know we can't get the corresponding.com domain.
Item 1: College, in general, is *AIMED* at those one or two kinds; these tests measure *ability to do well in college*, for the most part. Giving people a test of something else just sets them up to fail later.
I would just point to my current roomate. 1540 SAT, full scholarship at Georgia Tech, and he sleeps all day. He has the intelligences the SAT tested, but the motivation required to do more than (literally!) jerk off in bed all day he lacks. The article isn't talking about just peicing together legos, but about a whole battery of tests looking beyond the pen and paper abilities of students. And frankly I think he would have failed those tests. Now a technically centered school can put much more weight on the technical tests, but there is more involved in suceeding in school than knowledge of math and science.
And, psychologists have held the belief that there are 7 different types of intelligences for years: linguistic, musical, spatial, bodily, interpersonal, intrapersonal and logico-mathematical.
They can't give away proprietary codecs they don't themselves own, and the only alternative then is to not use those codecs which ain't gonna happen anytime soon.
Sorensen is the name of that codec, which Apple doesn't own but does have an exclusive license for. This is a problem because of course Apple cannot release the source to that. Now QuickTime can use a variety of codecs and read a variety of formats. However the difference bettween Quicktime 4 and Quicktime 3 is primarly the Sorensen codec which qives QuickTime the compression and streaming capabilities which make it interesting.
And FYI there is a QuickTime libary for Linux at http://heroine.linuxbox.com/quicktime.ht ml but it just doesn't use Sorensen so it can't do all the cool stuff QuickTime 4 can.
"I'm in the middle class, you're in the middle class, we're all in the middle class, the government fucks us."
There is so little that can be done. We can't change the school system, or the parents who think it perfectly alright for 7th graders to be talking about getting high and shooting people. It isn't right that this poor kid was arrested and detained, but there has to be some way to educate our children to grow up to be educated civilized members of society.
I live in a dorm, and the big thing now are the All-Advantage.com type things where you open their add window and earn $0.50 an hour while you surf the internet. I wrote a quick http-refresh page and found them all a mouse trembler. They are basically selling their cycles to these advertising companies, although noone has seen a check yet.
But no they don't have a linux client, so I'm sticking with distributed.net.
"If women aren't involved(out of lack of foresight), then they aren't given voices, or the choice to speak, and everyone loses"
Whose foresight was it supposed to be to bring women into the open source community. You can't just drag people into a community. It is the same reason that at most tech schools the male to female ratio is extremely high. There isn't a whole lot that can be done about it.
A while ago I used to really enjoy reading antionline when JP was still running it all out of his parents house, but they he started getting petty and vindictive so I just stopped going to the site. Does anyone know, Does he still live at home?
I'm at Ga Tech and the school has dual OC/3's. Our connection speed really is amazing. I really already think of our campus as a virtual university. Whenever I have a chem lab, I jump onto the chem class website and watch the RealVideo prelabs (which look perfect unless too many kids in the dorm are playing q3test) and then take a quiz or two based on the video and the book.
In my english class we do all of our discussions in a web based discussion format, and all of my cs homework is turned in through a unix shell account.
But it is more that just internet technology. The two tech tv stations broadcast all kinds of acedemic stuff. From complete classes to tutoring help late at night.
I don't know if long distance learning over the internet is the future, but I really think that utilizing all the technology available to provide a complete education is.
I remember seeing something about a military test where soldiers where given medication(and no I don't think that it was just methamphetamine) that did the rejuvenation on the brain and let the soldiers stay awake and congnitive for days and days.
Well seeing that Apache is the most popular web server on the net, and that Microsoft is finally admitting that Linux is a viable server product, I figure that many small and medium sized E-Commerce Businesses will be leaning toward this kind of package. I'm trying to set up apache with servlet support right now, and if I didn't have to spend hours downloading over my modem lines I would gladly pay $150.
Sometimes you need something simple. I mean I'd rather play my atari vcs than a playstation or nintendo anyday. Simple addictive play. And the TRS-80, How can anything that runs off of Extended Color Basic be bad.
Using a perty window manager may be a step forward, but so is Windows 2000. People should be free to use anything that they want without being attacked for not being in the heighth of fashion.
William S. Burroughs made this whole argument first and most simply in his essay "Word Virus." He went into the line of thought that all words are only words because we assign meaning to them. Just like a meme these words then infect the vocabulary of the person that this word is spoken too. And in the same way a virus grows. The word's reach expands.

No I think he is calling it a Jeep, because people understand Jeep.
Nothing wrong with republicans.
They are the only ones who realize that we don't need those stinking dirty poor.

Oh I remember the days of doing my own research for term papers, wait that was last week! Get out of the house for a couple hours. Go to the library.
