I do c# development at work (largely for the windows.forms gui code, most server side is c++).
I took a console application that used network sockets, timers, and was completely multithreaded that I had compiled using microsoft's c# compiler, and copied it to a linux server (no recompile).
Fired up mono... it worked flawlessly, first time. I was impressed.
For those using Visual Studio on Windows, I highly recommend a tool called Incredibuild to do the same job. It is not free like distcc, but is very effective and integrates nicely with Visual Studio. It cut my build time for a project at work from 15 minutes to 1 minute 20 seconds. Nice!
Maybe you should look for a place far inland, a descent house, keep some water and purification equipment, plenty of food, and I'm sad to say, weapons.
Maybe the Yanks know something all the rest of us don't?!
Since these are the guys that did most of the original work on LinuxBIOS, does that mean that they have ported linuxbios to the Shuttle XPC SS51G motherboard? I would love a P4 2.5GHz PC that boots into linux in about 3 seconds!
The ironic thing about all this is that the bnetd.org team actually posted that they had NOTHING to do with the warforge team (the team that released a forked version of bnetd that supported warcraft III beta).
So despite trying to do the right thing by Blizzard, they are going to be taken down anyway. What is to stop this happening to other open source projects? That seems to be one of the only problems with the GPL in my books... you can't restrict access to your code to people that could use it for reasons that you yourself wouldn't endorse, and yet you are held partly responsible for giving them the foundation to work on...
apparently, after wearing glasses that invert your vision (everything looks upside down), after about 12 hours your brain will correct the problem and everything will look the right way up again... the brain is a pretty amazing thing. how long till machines can self-heal by completely changing their functionality like this?
Of course the obvious problem with this is that the file system permissions will only allow the user's home directory to be deleted (and maybe one or two others).
Unlike windows 98 etc. where anyone can delete anything...
In Red Mars (or is it green or blue?) by Kim Stanley Robinson, people are scanned for errors in their dna, and are then injected with a "virus" that modifies their dna back to how it should be by cutting and replacing parts of dna strands with new strands . It enables the characters in the book to live for hundreds of years...
But at least we have a mechanisim in place to get rid of them.
If money really does buy the election, then how do you have the mechanism to get rid of them? No one will legistlate against the bad laws, because they are kept in power by the companies that want those laws!
And as for the other alternative, well most countries have the ability to perform a bloody result, no matter what type of government they have
I think the biggest flaw with the US campaign system is that people can donate anonymously. Didn't it ever occur to anyone that politicians might be influenced by money from criminal/illegal sources?
I don't get this political system, as I am not American. How can you guys allow such an obviously flawed system to exist?
The person with the most money wins - the person who is payed buy the companies with the most money wins - the companies with the most money win
This obviously makes the politicians cater to the needs of the big companies rather than the people. I know I am not saying anything new here, but why hasn't there been a greater effort to stop or get rid of this?
Then again, maybe you need to remind yourself what is good about cs, and why you picket it in the first place!
I finished an EE degree at the end of last year, decided I had had enough of EE and took a job in management consulting.
I HATE it. I long to go back to engineering, and am actively looking. Sometimes you just need to realise that the end of your degree is always going to be a drag, just like ending anything. It doesn't mean that you hate cs.
Don't necessarily give it away just because of that. Mind you, at least I have finally realised that I like engineering, and want to get back to it (which I wasn't sure of during my degree).

No wonder you only get 2 weeks holiday a year! :)
