Ah, but you perhaps are not aware that this armor is designed to counter a specific threat: rocket propelled grenades that utilize a molten copper jet. It's right there in the article. I know, it's hard to actually read the fucking thing, what with the clicking and the reading, and it would interfere with your spouting off about things, but I personally recommend it as a way to avoid sounding like a goddamn asswipe. Thanks for reading so patiently and I eagerly await your future, more informed posting.
Well, I read the story when they first mentioned it (with a "Scary" tag) last week - of course, that was before those nice boys at the FBI came over and had their chat.
Interesting. I'm reading this through Opera / Gnome / FreeBSD. I run a smallish website that's using MS SQL Server on Windows 2000 Server and works fine, but I need it to be a bit more stable, as I'm joining the Navy in a few months and won't be around to do anything adminish - it has to be rock solid or else it'll drop off the net until I get my first liberty. I'm working on a BSD / Interbase / PHP / Apache port. If it works, and stays live w/o handholding then I'll be happy. We shall see.
It's good that someone such as yourself advocates trying everything that might even be in the right direction. I'm new to programming but I'm making headway. I'm new to my OS (FreeBSD) but I keep poking, keep googling, keep playing with the ports. I don't know what I'm doing, exactly, but every mistake I make teaches me something. Usually there'll be a clue, a bit of rope that I can use to pull myself to the next problem.
I don't recall. Usually it happens when I'm reading a thread and someone keeps pumping a view that pisses me off.
It's funny, 'cause I don't filter anything, so I still see whatever gets written. However, the little red dots remind me that this person, at one time, advocated a postition with which I strongly disagree, and to reply or judge accordingly.
My sister-in-law just graduated from UTA this past May with a degree in EE. She worked at IBM as a student, was active in the Honor Society (vice president, president), made good grades, etc. She's still looking for a job. Microsoft had her up to Seattle in March, but that didn't happen. We'll see where it goes. Godbless UT.
Rustle v. rustled, rustling, rustles v. intr. To move with soft fluttering or crackling sounds. To move or act energetically or with speed. To forage food. To steal livestock, especially cattle. v. tr. To cause to rustle. To obtain by rustling: rustled up some food in the kitchen. To steal (livestock, especially cattle).
Strange use of the word obscure. I've never seen the movie and I knew what the parent was referring to. It's part of the culture. It's the air that we breathe. It's mother's milk.
Here's a quick pair of tips for you - if you can't reacha site due to bad DNS, try hitting www.anonymizer.com and using their free proxy. It's imperfect but it may do the trick. Another option is to use visualroute.visualware.com to get the IP, then going to that instead of the URL.
The average bank robbery (in the US) nets about $9,000. Decent money for a day's work, true, but there's often expenses and time spent planning that cost something. Now, that might be more than you make in a year. It might be something worth looking into as a career choice. However, it gets the attention of the FBI, and that's a great way to shorten your time spent outside the walls.
That's an interesting concept...is the party line like a miles-long longline for commercial fishing? Is it full of sharp pieces of steel that'll kill the unwary? How much work is it to tow? How much drag in that line?
I worked for the company in question during the 'replacement' period as a cleaner so I have quite an insight into this.
The troll establishes some credibility by stating he worked for the company mentioned in the article. He then describes his job as one that is not normally associated with developers. This tactic is designed to attract flames.
The hardware on the machines were quite similar and you are quite correct in saying that the OS didn't have much to do with the performance increase.
He ingratiates himself with you instead of attacking you. He wants to be your friendly neighborhood techie, explaining the one detail you don't understand.
The main reason for the performance increase was because we decided to rewrite our software which was originally written in java. Don't get me wrong java is a _great_ language, but when it comes to processes that require a lot of speed it just doesn't cut it.
He then points out the flaw in the system they once used - it's slow. He doesn't flame Java, but he uses an argument you likely have heard hundreds of time: Java is slow.
That's why we decided to code the software in pearl. Pearl is a great language which is very close to machine language.
Oops. Intentionally misspelling Perl (flamebait, attracts those who like to nitpick). Calling Perl "machine language" was a great tactic. Machine language is respected for the speed of execution, but Perl ain't. Perl is (correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm not a disciple of Wall's great gift to the world) an interpretated language - much slower.
It is somewhere between a 1GL and a 2GL language, you could almost call it a 1.5GL language.
More food for the nitpickers.
This gives it an amazing performance boost, and still allows us to have readable and maintanable code.
Again, Perl is many layers from the hardware. It's good stuff, but it isn't really all that fast. And the best closing line of them all. Perl is notorious for being impossible to read. It allows one to do the same thing in many different ways, so the code has a tendency to look like a nasty mess. That doesn't keep it from running, but someone else's uncommented Perl is often the stuff of nightmares.
If I was to, say, apply the same amount of force evenly over your body, it would do you no harm whatsoever
-- and --
It would only crush if it was being pushed by the gravitational field against something else.
make me think that you are looking at this from a different perspective than many of us would. If you supply a uniform force to my body you will crush me if the force is directed towards my center. This is how I read your statement - that the force in question would be like atmospheric pressure. I assume you mean all that equal force would be acting in the same direction, not pressing on the outside of my body or can towards the middle.
One of the ways to make a plane disappear at night is to add lights. Planes are darker than the background when seen from the ground. A light or three and they merge with the background. Of course this applies to high-fliers, not low ones.
I've got a fantastic book called _Dealers of Lightning_ that covers early PARC, especially Ethernet, the Alto, and the laser printer. It is pretty clear that the Apple team was already working on such things, but the Xerox visits and demos encouraged them. The Apple guys saw what Xerox had accomplished and knew that such things were possible. Until that point they had faith without evidence. It recharged them.

I doubt perfect memory would be that much of a boon. Much of our inventiveness stems from our imperfect memories.

I believe the FreeBSD CVSup is written in Modula...further research (Link here shows that it is written in Modula-3. Nevermind.

Thanks to the power of straming video, that is.
It was fun to watch. Cheers from the boys back home.
