From a technical point of view I totally agree with you. Well, except for the URL. It doesn't really tell enough. It doesn't say very much about the owner or creator of a document.
But IMHO the way most people* experience websites and internet is not very technical I'm afraid. They 'surf' around, 'enter' websites by clicking on underlined words usually starting at portal or search engine and if they see exactly the same content appearing on two different sites to them that seems a copy.
*) like the ones that tend to call you in your spare time because they fucked up their machine again, for example the parents of your (girl)friend.
Yep. To me this seemed a strange thing too. My first reaction was exactly the same. If they don't want me to access it, they should secure it. How can you blame people from walking into your house if you leave the door wide open? Well, you can they are considered not to do so, it's not their house. And you didn't invite them.
Now consider someone invites you. You walk into someplace looking at stuff. But hey what if that isn't his house?
Giving people only a small part of the original content, eg. only some drumline sample, just an article, or only a piece of some artwork, without very explicitly telling where you got the stuff is a very bad habit.
It's called copyright infringment.
I'd say that's a rather strange conclusion. The only thing the 'C:' means there is a non graphic shell to use the OS.
My cellphone has something called Explorer, very similar to the M$ one. You can browse somekind of filesystem with it. Does that mean it's running windows? Does that mean there is a disk in it?
Download cygwin and then windows can come up with '/root/ $:'.
IMHO most optimization and tuning issues are roughly about three things: a static component (eg. RAM used for caching), a variable component (eg. RAM used for each request) and a 'panic' type component (eg. extra work needed for requests when running out of RAM). Its typically these type of differences in behaviour and system load which are interesting to compare. Even with a M$ box.
Uhm, uhm. Americans have proven before they can act very strange and explicit of it comes down to things they believe are a threat to their country or society. Like:
' Ah, you don't want to help us smoke the criminals out of their holes? '
' Fine, we have reasons to believe you hide terrorists en produces nuclear weapons! '
and:
' No sir, you can't do that, I'm an American citizen. ' in foreign countries
OK, I know not all Americans are narrow minded chauvinistic egoists.
Yeah, and manufacturers of CD-R's, harddrives and MP3 players should be dragged in court too.
It's the people who use Kazaa to share copyrighted stuff that break the law. Not the people who provide Kazaa. We don't put Ford into jail because people violate laws using cars. We don't put states into jail because people violate laws on the road.
What are the costs of an illegal copy? A few cents. Let's double that, so we get a 50% cost, 50% gain balance. And now explain to me why a CD in a shop costs about $20? (in the Netherlands)
The media industry and the public have to change their minds and accept we do have internet, and we can copy ourselves for very low prices and that is not something one can sell or someone is willing to pay for anymore...
The eBay article features a link to the company designing this stuff and they have a very cool concept for a two seater: duotrek. I WANT one of these. No more fucking parking problems, that is if the roof of my appartment is strong enough...
Hm. It says that they are dumping old hardware onthe chinese market. I can't see how I'd be fighting piracy dumping my old hardware on a junkyard. Not even if it's configured in such a way it would nly run my own legacy trash.
I remember a collegue of mine, who owned a modded Honda CRX (late 90's model), and I do not mean tasteless sideskirt stuff and that kind of things. He managed to get about 250 HP from an 1.6 liter engine. Performance was best between 5000 and 8000 RPM, that's where the engine of a regular car blows - I guess. The little red japanese sucker made a very rude sound though. Something like a F1 motercycle. Totally useless as a family car, but big fun to drive.
I own the complete opposite, a stoopid Ford Courier 1.7D, very convienient - damn. Well, both a two seaters, and mine has crousecontrol too.
YOUR PHONE CALLS YOU WHEN DRIVING. No really.
Since last year one is only allowed to make phone calls when driving if one has a handsfree set installed.
I hate it, but it makes sense. Yet they have to stop al those @#$%^&'s from calling when cycling around town on their their bikes:
'Wait a minute, gotta switch to my right hand. What? Yeah... Yep. I'm turning left, wha'
C R A S H!!!
That's is exactly why good developers prefer verbose logging instead of debugging.
If verbose logging is applied in a smart way, errors will show up in such a way you will be able to see where and why the code fails. Then it's up to the developer to find out if either te predicates are wrong or the context to which they apply fails...
eg. Given this: [True] S(); [False]
It can't get any better, can it?
For any X and Y the pre and post conditions apply:
X => True
and
False => Y
So for any X and Y the following:
[X] S(); [Y]
is valid.
But what IF the S() crashes, it does not even reach the post condition? How are you going to find out why?
Hmm. Well. Perhaps this is a far too complicated subject to discuss over here... Besides it was years ago when I learned to program using predicate logics.
I prefer verbose logging too. I've been working with WebSphere Application Developer during the last year and I've never used the debugger. However verbose logging - IMHO - should be considered as a form of debugging too. Sure, it's not the boring act of step-by-step stumbling through control structures and loops glaring at a huge set off watches, but instead it focuses on what is important in a certain context (if logging is done properly) and is works much faster, because the result simply stays in the form of a log which one can take all the time needed to examine.
An important pro of verbose logging to traditional debugging is that proper log statements preferably combined with assertions which validate the state of an object at runtime also provide very usefull documentation of a program. The remaining contra is extra code slowing down execution, even dramatically depending on the log format (imagine the time needed to format date/time information for each 5 or so lines of code).
Comes to my mind the fact that object oriented languages use runtime linkage for virtual methods at great scale. Hence it should be possible to keep two versions of code, one containing debugging code and one that has been cleaned - eg. by a modified class loader for example, whic removes all calls to a classes from a certain package. This should enable switching at runtime from a clean non-logging version to a logging-version, if a certain condition is met. For example during a suspicious error, or simply a flag a user can set at the moment he or she detects a bug. This means that even production versions of software could be equiped with shiploads of logging possibilities having nearly no affection at all to their execution speed.
Yep. A piece of software is designed once, and then it may be debugged many times, perhaps forever...
Debugging is a (IMHO silly) way to understand how a program works, to find out were and how it fails or where and how it may be improved. That and the possibility to reuse pieces of code, is all that opensource is about. This gives the public - more specific developers like some of us - the power to fix problems and add features right away.
However I do not see how this idea of communication about features will work. Assume I code some feature I have a need for. I would just submit the modified code. I will not go and see if I made some users happy. So who is going to? Assume you have need for some feature... ...
Well that's where the story ends, I guess. Or you'd have to call me and pay for it.
... bring with him/her all logs recording the I.P. addresses and/or users who visited "http://cryptome.org/sec-con.htm" between 11/7/02 00:00:00 GMT and 11/14/02 23:59:59 GMT.

Ehm, rather messy scenes come to my mind associating 'Death Penalty' and football...
I guess it would become a rather 'bloody' kind of game. Well perhaps more mess in the arena means less mess in the stadium and on the streets, who will say? I'm not sure yet however, thinking of our Roman ancestors...
Huh!? The pattern on the image is not completely regular, as one would expect.
Maybe the interval varied a little (due to end of month, end of year, DST, a severe hangover or something else), or it is fake...

Ah see I knew I missed something, well if I then did mixup bits and bytes we might end up with something like two days.
Pfff.
Please correct me if I'm wrong:
3TB = (aprox.) 3.000.000.000.000 (12 zero's)
25kB/s = (aprox.) 25.000
3.000.000.000.000/25.000
= 1.200.000 seconds (to write a DVD sized medium)
= 20000 hours
= 833 days
= 2 years and 4 months!!!
WHAT!?
Well sounds kinda usefull...
Evil managers... Had to think about a manager I once had who came to us and asked what he had to do with this 'plain/text' mail attachment.
Americans typically do suffer from overweight. And that's a fact. A well known fact.

Yeah, I think it has something to do with the fact that in Russia it is common for men to hug and kiss when they meet, opposed to women in the US.
I think all people should do so, but not when they meet in open air flying XFV's.
