It's obvious that this virus was written by someone who wanted to dos sco. Not that it was written by someone in the linux community. Maybe it was written by someone at SCO wanting to get more hits on their irrelevant site.
Be careful with concepts like "the linux community". Wittgenstein writes very interestingly on the subject of classification near the beginning of his Philosophical Investigations. He talks about the concept of "games" and how there is not one quality or qualities common to all games - it is like a family relationship or a string with many threads.
The linux community is a very broad class of people.
Now forget fuzzy logic, I want fuzzy classes. How do I do that in C++? Hmmmm. Weakly typed, OO language with multiple inheritance....Any ideas?
Wittgenstein would say our brains work like this, this is how we use language - can we get a computer to work like that?
I know this is starting to get off topic, but that's got to be a good idea when SCO comes up.
The real reason of course is much more obvious. The greens in the picture are being filtered out. This is to obscure the algae that they are finding.
The full picture won't ever come to light but we may know more once Bush has decided whether the algae are intelligent or not, how well armed they are, whether he should buy / sell arms to them, before / after launching an attack of his own. Learning from the Iraq war he is avoiding the "I told you so" phenomena. Please join me in sending a note to the whitehouse apealing:
THE ALGAE ON MARS HAVE NO WMDs.
Why did that other US probe crash again?
I must advise you not to have anything to do with this adulteration. If you haven't read the book then you'll get much more out of that than out of the film. If you have read the book then after seeing the Two Towers you should know better.
The Lord of the Rings is a great piece of work and the fact is that if the One Ring ever went to Gondor then Sauron would've noticed it, GAME OVER. Journey to Mount Doom was only possible because Faramir unlike his hot headed brother had the good sense to allow Frodo onto Mordor unmolested. (I walked out of the last movie when this bit went wrong.) I have to say that other than this crucially important departure from plot the visualisation has generally been great; while I give Jackson some credit for a good rendition, the fact is that the book paints the original picture.
I'm not a purist, I accepted that the films weren't going to be a mirror image, couldn't understand the need to screw up the end of the Fellowship, even managed to swallow Glorfindel being replaced by an Arwen who could cast spells, but this distortion of the fabric is unacceptable.
Do not see this movie, it is damaging to one of those works that is so brilliant as to have become woven into our mythology.
I was happy a couple of years ago when I heard Peter Jackson talking of the responsibility of making this movie. After the Two Towers I left the theatre enraged. I am now just starting to be able to talk about it.
08456091314 (Dellnet)
08450880050 (The Laughing Policeman)
I have only ever used the first one (Dellnet) very much. Both work fine with no user name and password. I've always found the service from Dellnet fine.
BTW. Dont understand why you needed to sort out a special laptop to come here. I've just taken my laptop (which is a good one) all the way round the world, including Thailand. It lived in a tent with me in New Zealand for 6 months. Wish me and my laptop were back there. Do you know something we dont? Are the yanks planning on testing a EMP weapon over here or something?
I find keeping my data backed up with a laptop is fairly easy. I guess you'll need hard drives to suit your needs and conveniance. My laptop is almost always as safe as I am. It also goes almost everywhere with me - this is where the backup comes in. When I'm at friends houses I back my stuff up on to their computers. Ok this process is not rigorously controlled - all my friends *might* decide to reformat their disks the same day I loose my data - but I loose less sleep over this than over those damm shrews.
Don't AOL market themselves a lot using the term online service rather than internet service. As I'm sure most slashdotters know - internet - interconnection between networks. The standard AOL client cannot be easily used to interconnect two networks. Try setting up internet connection sharing. I have heard there is a hack (pppshare?) that will do it but haven't seen it working. Also I believe there is a client available in the US that does allow connection a LAN to the rest of the internet. This hasn't been localised to the UK. More and more people have more than one computer at home. I should be surprised AOL hasn't addressed this yet, but then I know that the moment you say "network" or "routing" to anyone in power in AOL it will initiate a cogitation about golf or the wine they had at lunch. My folks were paying for two isps (one of them AOL) and I just networked up their house (now I can plug in too!) and scrapped AOL. Yeah. It felt so good. A good friend of mine works at AOL and I know that their company is mostly an arse kicking exercise.

Java IDEs?
·
· Score: 1
I also vote for Idea. I have been a C/C++ developer for 5 years and moved to a job writing Java 9 months ago. This IDE is better than any IDE I have seen for any language. Its all written in Java - I used to use it in a Linux environment while the rest of my team used Windows. It integrates nicely with Ant, has excellent code completion and generation, makes it really easy to move around the code, you can do searches like find all write accesses to this data member, find all calls to this method. The best thing about it is its refactoring capability. It has great tools to move around code and to change the name and type of methods and data items. The integrated debugger works well too.
I know this IDE made a huge difference to my productivity (especially when relatively new to Java.) I would give developers as much freedom as possible in choice of tools (IDEA doesn't have diagramming tools so some people might like to start off their work with something like Together which will produce jave code from UML diagrams) However I do think it is a good idea to maintain a standard development enviornment that will allow new developers joining a team to easily start work. Having experienced the quality of IDEA I would say this is an excellent candidate.
It sounds like the recording industry is pretty fragrantly using the war on terrorirsm to further its point. As this is an obvious distraction from what should be everyone's priortiy at the moment they are more than not helping. They are distorting what should be a balanced and reasoned process of legislation. The content of this legislation is critical to the maintenance of civil liberties and the physical and economic defence of the United States and the rest of the free world.
I thought the president of the United States had made it quite clear that anyone who wasn't helping was the enemy. The recording industry has declared itself the enemy of the free world.
I also thought the United States government had asked United States citizens with hacking expertise to judiciously target specific terror targets. (Recent Slashdot article) Some more targets now seems clearly defined. Namely the RIAA, companies remaining associated with the RIAA or who support the RIAA economically, responsible senators and lobbyists.
This all seems quite obvious, so if i got any of that wrong, Bush should confirm that the CIA has given special permission for these organisations / people to help the terrorists destaiblise our legislature. Eitherwise you've been given carte blanche.
Does the definition of hacking include copying stuff? Are we allowed to copy all the music we like in the US now?
(My source on the ammendment: http://theregister.co.uk/content/6/22252.html)
The RIAA and those lobbyists and senators should be crunched up and shat out for this disgusting behaviour. Laughs hysterically.
Sounds like you have the start of a working model. The point about eyesight problems is an important one. I used to work (as a softie) making scanners. The optics guys there had been demonstrated simmilar devices. These had been carefully measured to proove that the image was focused on your retina when your eye was relaxed. Properly set up it sounds like these devices will be a lot better for your eyes. Improperly set up and I expect you'll be screwed. Could the device detect if it had become inappropriately calibrated? What happens if I sit on it at the beech, drop it in my beer, then put them on backwards (I know its called evolution, but imagine a reasonable accident!)
I doubt that you could market this on your own. I'd expect you'd need some technical help, you do all the mechanics, optics and software by yourself! wow! but are all these areas up to the required standard for sale? Maybe you could find some partners or contract some good people. Sorry to have to use a dirty word but you will need some "marketing" to! Can't believe you'd want to spend the time necessary doing this.
Are there independant testing labs for the safety of optical devices? (I think there are but have no details.) If this was established and I could see your device working, send me the bill.
