I think he has a point though. When I was looking I specifically did NOT send my resume to the bloodsuckers. I only sent it to real companies. Not one reply, even though my skill set was a perfect match for what they were looking for. I think the real companies, especially the small ones get overwhelmed by the responses, and pretty soon it's all noise.
Good point, but at least dont feed the giant anymore than you have to.:) I hear all of the stupid radio ads for.tv and I just dont understand why you would want one. A few months ago I reserved mylinuxguy.com which I think is a great domain name, and this is in 2001 when supposedly all of the good names are taken. Just yesterday I reserved a four letter name for my company, I dont want to divulge it because it's still in development, but it's a great name, the name of our product. I think that these new tld's just muddy the water. Now I'll get spam from beastiality.com, beastiality.tv, and beastiality.cc:)
Two questions, why would anyone use Veri$ign when there are so many alternatives. And why would you want a suck tld like.tv or.cc when I just bought a 4 letter.com domain name yesterday.
I agree in principal, but perhaps not in the particular solution of arming the pilots.
While the simple knowledge that there are armed pilots will very likely deter a number of people, I would suggest that cockpits are not a good place for a gun battle. They are very cramped, and flying bullets around all those avionics, radios, and navigation gear would be a very bad thing. Further, should one of the pilots fire a.45 through one of the windows, the window would fail, everyone would be immediately slurped out of that hole by the 10-odd psi pressure differential. Not to mention possibly parts of the window being ingested into one of the engines.
Perhaps they (and the crew for that matter) could carry powerful mace canisters or tasers or something along those lines.
A worm like Code Red doesn't care if the final host is "destroyed" because it launches all of the attacks from cracked Sun boxen. This way you always have a staging area from which to launch the attack
I switched from dogpile to google. It was the day that I read on/. that you could search for "more evil than satan" on google and the first hit was www.microsoft.com. That was a great day.
I'll be worried when the rental car companies start putting brodie, e-brake, police turn around, secret service manuver, etc... sensors on the chevy malibu that I always seem to get stuck with.
Why are all of the interface designers seeming to go to this sort of "plastic on acid" look for everything. I just installed WindowsXP on a laptop, and the first thing that I thought was the it looked like a first graders toy. All of the buttons were huge, shiny and colorfull. Mac OSX looks like a fourth graders frickin lunchbox, and KDE2 (a little better) still feels toyish.
This latest trend of making all of the icons (icons are useless wastes of desktop real estate as it is) look like plastic anime jewels is really sickening. Dont get me wrong GUI's are nice, but they don't need to make you feel and look like a retard for using them. IMVHO this is why window managers like enlightenment and DM's like Gnome will eventually be the future of GUI's, once the masses realize that a 100x100 close window button is not really nessecary, and in fact a really bad idea.
Who ever hires the designers that make interfaces like the ones shown in star trek (lcars) or the one in Swordfish will make the big bucks. Yes I realize that those interfaces are completely fictional and dont really do anything, but the theory behind them, especially lcars, is very good. The world where the application and the desktop integrate seamlessly is the world of the future (not even windows can do that, even with IE).
Ok, say lettuce is roughly $0.89/lb and according to the article the car will travel roughly 62 miles on 220lbs of garbage. From what I can tell you would have to spend $195.80.
My car gets about 22mpg (the way I drive) and it costs (even at the broom stick up your ass price of $2.00 per gallon) about 30 bucks to fill it up. And with a full tank I get about 300 miles.
IANAM but from what I can tell it would cost you about $979 bucks worth of lettuce to go 300 miles, that is about $3.26 per mile or (using my car's fuel economy) roughly $71 a gallon! Even with our completely fucked up gas prices (thats Bill, and Gray, and OPEC, George is in there too, the finger to you all!!!) it's still a better deal to get raped at the pump.
Although this does give a new meaning to dumpster diving
BTW Offtopic, but oh well, my plan against the gas companies is to get my self a box of hotel card keys, a shitload of super glue, and one night were I insert superglued cards into all of the pumps at several local gas stations.
My problem is not the VCR, what I can't figure out is why I get a hot, fresh pot of coffee every morning at 3:16am, and a loaf of bread at 4:17pm every second tuesday.:)
IANASCD (Small Cube Designer) but I would create a system whereby the cube is read by six lasers each pointing at a face of the cube, translating the geometry of the cube into 6 "pyramids" inverted with their tops all touching at the volumetric center of the cube, and the bottom becoming the face. Each laser would only have to read a relatively small area at the deepest point in the cube, increasing as it comes out.
If that worked you could setup some kind of striping across the faces of the cube and have a 6x boost in thoroughput.
You don't think micros~1 techs could have figured out an OS configuration issue? The article states that they did consult micros~1 to help them with the problem. Reading between the lines once the m$ techs figured out that it was NOT an OS configuration issue they freaked and said "show these numbers to anyone and we'll sue".

They'll open source everything that they can. That would at least be a silver lining.

I didn't have to wait...the nice man at CompUSA installed the internet in my computer when I bought it.
Change all of your e-mail, slashdot, etc... sigs to include words such as GOD, BOMB, ALLAH, etc... That should give carnivore a run for it's money.
How will the following code be run in a distributed environment:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $blah = "Hello, World!";
print $blah . "\n";
Will the Hello and World be run in parallel? What about error handling? I think I need another crack hit to figure this one out.

Does that mean that @Home is going to cancel my service because I'm IRCing on DalNet, and have an ftp client open?
Since my workplace is kind enough to provide free coffee, shouldn't my downloads be free? 15$ is a buttload of free coffee.

I can hear it now. "Base to space dive, come in space dive - over"
"Space dive here - over"
