These days everybody and their dog has a lil website somewhere.
Let's say we ditched the email concept, and messaging just involved people going to eachothers websites and dropping a note via webform. To reply, you simply click the link back to the senders message webform etc...
Then to ensure we don't have web crawling bots auto submitting spam through the forms, you add a dynamically created GIF/jpeg file with a 5 letter code embedded that the subitter needs to type for the form to submit.
Then, problem solved no? Christ the email protocol we've been using for the last 20years is ready for the shitter in my opinion.

Chances are, if you use your blog to bitch about your useless daily life, nobody is going to read it anyways.
But, if you ARE that VAIN... just register underneath one of those big blog sites that will give you a free blog.. Unless you are starting a business, I don't see how a proper domain name all for you is that necessary. I can't count how many people I know who registered "COOL" Domain names that don't use them, and collect dust.
Christ.. I'm still trying to figure out why this blog bs took off, and when will it return from whence it came.
She's probably going to end up meeting another guy in Japan anyways. Do you REALLY think she'll give you the laptop back?
That aside, Apple laptops are retartedly overpriced. The only reason they sell is because there are still plenty of deep pocketed yuppy egomaniacs out there, that feel a computer needs to fulfill their "Image".
Spend 2k less on a more powerfull, less stylish laptop. And tell yer GF she can have it when she comes back:)
It sound and reads more like a blog to me. This guy rants about his personal experience, covers only about 10% of the possibilies and bases his conclusion on BS.
How about using your own method to send objects over to the client app using.NET? Perhaps using.NET's builtin SOAP/XMP stuff is like using a shotgun to kill a fly?
What about other platforms such as java?
I also don't understand what is with this guys hardon for C++ developpers. He talks as if C++ is some kind of ancient art, that is nearly impossible to master.
It's like any other fucking language. So there are pointers, big deal. I can learn C# just as easily as C++, or PHP. The high-level/Low-level nature of the language doesn't necessarily make it more difficult, you just have to THINK differently (sorry apple).
Firstly, aren't LCDs on their way out for cheaper, better quality, and thinner OLED displays?
Once those are out, there is no need for a backlight, and I seriously doubt people will want to waste space putting in a crappy ass "sound membrane" (that's what I call it) inside.
Yes they are right, this sort of speaker does create a universal "sweet spot" because it distributes the sound evenly over distance but there is a shitload more thats needed to produce good sound. The freq range of the mambrane alone is complete ass, so they would have to sell you subwoofers integrated with computer case to rattle around your HDs harmoniously:)
I am well aware that the 400mhz bus on p4s is quad pumped, and is truely running at 100mhz fsb (or a bit more for 533).
I am aware that AMD 400mhz bus is a double pumped 200mhz fsb.
Could someone explain what "double pumped" actually means? if I think back I remember hearing something about how in doulbe pumped.. the cpu grabs data off the bus at the beginning, and the end of a single clock cycle. is there a downside to doing things this way? Or perhaps.. this is the best way things should be done, and cpu designers should concentrate on LOWERING mhz (for heat/energy reasons), and UPPING the amount of data/instructions it can do in a single clock cycle?
So eventually we could move toward a computer that can run on a single clock cycle, which would be a mhzless computer? I know there is theory somewhere in there:)
Would it not help voltage/heat greatly if the bus was 33mhz and (12x) pumped?

First, we have more addressable memory, which could help performance by running entire cached databases.
Second, he says for applications that do math on very large numbers (that need larger than 32bit numbers) there would be a performance increase because 64-bit cpus could do it in one register, instead of ia32 having to split it up.
However, he states that regular apps that donot require larger than 32-bit ints will see no performance increase on x86-64. My question is this: Would it be possible to "double up" the calculations by cramming more data into a single instruction if one were only using 32bit ints?
The compiler would have to intelligently arrange this I guess.
"Apache Security" is probably easy to get the latest information on. Probably for free, and without having to cut down trees.
For example, assuming you have the latest patched apache, the left-over security issues that are CGI/web app/scripting related fall under the web applications category of security.
Logically thinking, since we evolved directly from the remaining 30% of life on the planet after the comet impact, wouldn't we be a likely survivor of subsequent 'extinction level' impacts?
I took this course a while ago but there is a limit to how old we can date something based on radioactive dating.
For example.. using certain materials we can only date something back to a maximum of several thousand years. Using another method, we are limited to a few billion.
Does anyone know the limit to hold old we can date something (using whatever type of isotope that would be best?) I guess if we can date something as far back as 15 billion years.. we don't have to worry (since that is the age of the universe estimated I think).
I'd really like some info on how a card like the ti4200 and 9700 will improve games when I only have a p3 700.
CPUs can still bottleneck a GPUs potential I assume? Even if a game does ALL of its processing in the GPU (forget AI in multiplayer games). I'm sure a p2 400 will run ut2003 at less than 15fps even with a 9700. Do I upgrade my p3 700first? or my geforce2 first?
It's funny people are modding you down cuz you mentioned MS.
I agree with you, and these morons are missing the point. The email protocol is fucked, millions could be saved if we moved to something new. And it is no secret that MS and a few other major companies could have the power to do it.
Anyways, I gave you a few extra points. The question should be how. And, how on earth can we enforce the destruction of today's email protocol while introducing another? How can we even stop spam with a new one?
As always take this with a grain of salt. This is the typical "blackbox" approach in science:
You have a blackbox with inputs and outputs, and you theorize what is in the blackbox based on your inputs, and what the outputs are. Sure you can come up with math/thoery that works everytime when trying to predict what the blackbox DOES. But this doesn't mean you really know what the blackbox IS (or whats inside rather).
Losely throwing out a word such as "dark energy", pretty much spells "we really have no fucking clue why to me".
sure there is something forcing our universe to expand againts the will of gravity. But it's OK to admit we don't know what it is.
Heh.. I might as well call that sludge in my sink "dark matter", and the unpleasant odour a result of "dark energy".

Call me troll, or offtopic if you wish.
But I think at this point a well designed, nice website is as important as the product it is selling/about.
Dasher's website is really ugly. Great software idea though!

The article mentions 2 clear benefits of x86-64.
First, we have more addressable memory, which could help performance by running entire cached databases.
Second, he says for applications that do math on very large numbers (that need larger than 32bit numbers) there would be a performance increase because 64-bit cpus could do it in one register, instead of ia32 having to split it up.
However, he states that regular apps that donot require larger than 32-bit ints will see no performance increase on x86-64. My question is this: Would it be possible to "double up" the calculations by cramming more data into a single instruction if one were only using 32bit ints?
The compiler would have to intelligently arrange this I guess.
How does that work? My XML knoledge goes no further than simply representing a datastructure/object/whatever in a TAG like format.
:)
What use is it to store the XML in a table? wouldn't that just be storing a string?

For example, assuming you have the latest patched apache, the left-over security issues that are CGI/web app/scripting related fall under the web applications category of security.
In this case, have a look at some of the guidlines over at The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) .
Way better than paying too much for a book that wastes paper, and will likely be out of date in no time.

I have a lot of Crapintosh G3s lying around at work that I have "revived" by putting Linux on em. (OS X runs way too slowly)

Anyone have information on this?

I think it's a bad idea, even if it is easier.
...." actually means something.
One of the most important things in coding is readability. Frankly,
for ( String blah : bleh)
doesn't really say anything on it's own, the reason they call it a programming "language" is because it reads like a language.
"for , string c colon f " means shit.
"for string s equals c iterator
Please god don't butcher this language.
