that they would publish Ma(rketing)trix the Movie, where they reveal how they managed in this:) These guys really know how to exploit and squeeze every penny out of the idea. The most amazing part of this is that everything is well done and thought, we consistent. You could believe for example, that you could ruin the matrix concept like this, but somehow they have managed to keep it in order.
... I wonder if this could be done on global or continental scale. Imagine sitting in your space shuttle and playing Tetris with the lights of America or Europe. Siberia would be a problem though;) If this is too big, maybe JUST Tokyo-Yokohama scale for example? Just some co-operation, and it could be doable:)
Have they already done Invaders, night driver (scroll down) would be also possible - the classic Snake could be fun too. Well, actually, I quess any classic is rather easily portable:)
are mostly a myth. I have got the feeling that the ones who spends 14 or so hours per day do not actually WORK for more than maybe 2 * 3 hours seriously. Many people have their lives at work. In some cases this works and in some cases not, atleast it requires strong self-discipline to keep the "playing hours" in control.
How it affects code quality - don't know. In my case, if I work for around 3 days for around 19 hours and WORK seriously most of the time, that might work, but after that there is a steep decline in quality and productivity. If I HANG AROUND at work for the same amount of hours per day, I can do it for weeks.
So, I don't have an answer, but I quess it depends strongly about whether you need to concentrate on what you are doing a lot or not.
I use some time running the openchallenge. I would like to get city/government organisations utilize it as well - by posting requests for open source based support for some protocols/interfaces they use for example ofcourse at the same time they would publish the specifications of these protocols/interfaces. How should I approach them, any ideas?
I wonder why they wanted to limit it just to GPL? That's what the article clearly says anyway. Considering they are planning to for example make commercial closed source and open source systems co-exist, I see some practical reasons why something the original BSD license or atleast LGPL would be much more suitable in some cases. So, WHY did they name only GPL and not for example the whole OSI suite - - - or does the article contain rotten details:)
"Open source whenever possible, propietary software only when necesary."
Similar kind of opinions have been heard here in scandinavia, apparently atleast in Sweden, Denmark and Finland. If you understand finnish, here's the article.

Yes, very close, now, when you next time punch in the A, you might try moving your little finger just a little bit left and you might actually be able to turn Caps Lock off.
"I agree that Finland is a lot more "neutral" in many ways, and that had its advantages in Linux development"........ "Moving to the US has meant a lot better weather "....... "The idiocy of the US cryptography export rules were a problem even before I moved here"....... " I don't think anybody really dislikes Finland, while a lot of people are nervous about or even actively dislike the US. So in some sense that could have been a downside, but I felt that most people trusted me more as a person than as a Finn, so I didn't feel it to be a major issue. "
To be honest, I would not consider even the weather part as a plus;))
I don't think I am. If you could understand finnish, you could read this and a number of others, the naming of the degree might be different, but what you study is exactly same. Once more, to me - it is astonishing, if a wireless degree is news in US.
... or you really are stuck in the stone age, atleast here in Finland you have been able to study the subject in deep detail for years. Now, seriously, is this news there in US? This is not a flamebait, I am truly interested in this.

I forgot to say that kids should think twice before deciding to use this learning method. AFAIK, It is heavily criminal and using a pirate version of PIX OS, is a crime which money value is high-enough to get you prosecuted and heavily punished. Playing a pirate GTA is bad, but this is seriously bad and can get you in serious trouble. I just hope everyone understands it, many teen-h4x0rs probably don't
Or am I missing something, has someone published a mimick PIX OS under open source or something?
I quess those who want to buy a Cisco PIX have already made the decision to not make the judgement based on price.
If you want to build your own one, you could as well do the same using things available under open source so that visitors from Cisco do not have to call Yevgeni and Boris to teach beat you up.;)
Well, I can understand that learning the PIX in detail might be a good and interesting reason to build it up, instead of spending $15 000 or more in it.
> Ironically, your attempt to clarify your ealier post
> requires more clarification than the post it means to clarify
I know - and it's terrible. I first thought to clarify it, but then I thought that when a clarification of a clarification needs clarification, the methods of clarifying need re-clarification and that requires some real clarification.
When I was 4 I did not know anything about a computer, well there was no personal computers at that time (well, MITS Altair 8800 came a year earlier).
Now, my four year old son says "dad, we should write a story about this and that and publish it at my homepage so kids all over the world can read it". "Dad, let me play tetris on your Communicator" - heck, he has even already broken 2 communicators (dont tell my employer:)) Also, I quess I was around 11 when I first used a mouse. And maybe 9 when I first punched in the first letters using a keyboard.
Things chance. 20 years from now kids learn to use computer when they are 2. You and the teachers have to work seriously hard to even have a change to be at same level on some detailed area of knowledge. Teachers should - and already concentrate - in teaching larger concepts and teach to ask why - instead of how.
> And you credit me with more political sophistication than I have, so far.
;) conspiracy theories make good stories. Seriously, the Sincere Choice is a masterpiece - the best part of it is that I believe it is easily adoptable for other purposes than state/government use --> companies could(should?)(already do?) base their decisions on these principles. They make sense - not only ideologically but businesslogically too - , and I am hoping policiticians could make sense, atleast every 42nd day.
... I can almost see the creators of the DSSA proposal and Perens shaking hands. No-one thought that DSSA could go through... but first you have to propose something, that twists things to the extreme - and do it seriously - and then land in something like:
"The good thing is, California's lawmakers won't have to pay a dime to anyone to formulate the policy, since Perens has already done that job."
I will eat my (win)socks if this was not the plan from the beginning. Fortunately, no-one will ever know, if it was not:)
after some research, the year was 1986, and this was related to FIRST real hacker (yes, they were called hackers, not system crackers for example) in Finland.
Slashdot Mirror
..also, I would like to ask everyone to think what would they like to be added/enhanced to/in OpenVMS, and publish these requests at openchallenge.
that they would publish Ma(rketing)trix the Movie, where they reveal how they managed in this :) These guys really know how to exploit and squeeze every penny out of the idea.

Doom III? Boom, boom! Classic, it has to be. Even Wolfenstein 3-D would not make sense, Catacombs then, could already quality as worthy :)

Ok, point understood, finally :)

<place tongue in cheek>
There's an interview with Linus in Linux gazette issue 32, 1998 which you can use as a shocker, be warned, you might realize that your understanding of USA might be just a result of long-lasting brainwash ;))
