I like the way some people assume doctors are not allowed to have a life.
Gee, you're a doctor, perhaps you need to make some sacrifices anyway? If this becomes widespread, wouldn't it stand to reason that a specialty movie house would open that caters to doctors? Perhaps a cellphone section of the theatre?
out of the Lord of the Rings, women would choose the sensitive'n'reserved elf. Enigmatic, dreamy-eyed, sad-looking and caring is where it's at (puke at will).
Ane here I thought it was because he had a hot body. At least that's what the women I talked to said.
Go to a book store, and look at every car magazine.
I guess I'm not the target audience - when I read a wheel ad, I want to know how much the thing weighs, not some half dressed tart. That's what skin mags are for.
If you've spent $50, you'll be a lot less likely to take your free month, get bored of the game, and then not pay the monthly fee. They'll need to support way less leecher players who never intend to pay on their servers.
What are you talking about? Everybody on a game server has already paid - for WoW, it's $50. First-monthers may not bring in additional revenue, but they do pay the bills.
Well, since most states don't even have privately owned prisons, I somehow doubt Congress is cooking up laws aimed solely at providing more inmates to the private prison system.
Scientology operates some prisons in California. Personally, I'd rather go to a work farm in MS.
I didn't notice MS being in trouble. I noticed them having lots of users, whereas OpenBSD has comparitively few.
You may have noticed that MS has a wee bit of trouble in the server market, whereaas they utterly dominate on the desktop.
A usable system that does what its owners need will win over a secure system every time. It's simple logic: would you, on the grounds that it's better to be safe than sorry, drive a car that self-destructed every few months because it thought it was being drive by a thief?
Would you buy a car that could be stolen by any bored teenager that cared to do so?
MS Bob, in the name of userfriendliness, asked you to change the password if you miss-typed it 3 times. No, not if you successfully logged in after mis-typing it 3 times. That's it. Three failed attempts in a row, and you can set a new password.
In all fairness, MS Bob was never intended for corporate use. It can be forgiven for not being very secure, as the only person with access to the console is likely Melinda herself (the last active Bob user).
So far it's looking better, I've worked 4 months in 2004, and this is my first month of 2005. I expect to find another slot, tho, megacorp lifestyle is not for me. Here's to sticking things out, and nose to the grindstone.
Hey, Vail is hiring. Sure, the pay sucks, but you can Ski and network all the damn time.
I'm seeing jobs like this in my job search as well here in the US. A great example was one that was a Security Admin requiring a long list of skills, Cisco and Microsoft certs, and paying $12/hour. Yea, 12 bucks an hour. I could likely get that working in Fast Food. Another was a Linux admin, in a "rich" part of my state, where you average WINDOWS admin makes about 70-80k, and they wanted an expereinced Linux admin for 30,000/yr.
I think the real problem though, is SOMEONE is going to take that job and these companies are going to get away with this crap.
Yeah, well, you get what you pay for. Just don't come bitching to us when the server ends up in the fryolator.
A person is expected to do X amount of work for the time worked. Thats a simple hourly schedule, but common on the lower and consultation classes. The upper-level jobs use a money per event accomplished. No matter what you do, you end up making money for the company.
However, what happens if certain processes end up costing more money than they return? The company stops that process.
What happens if the person costs more money than they produce? The company stops the job.
That's not the point. Calling a person a resource dehumanizes them. Of course you aren't going to keep someone around just because they need a paycheck, but that doesn't mean you should axe them the moment it's convenient. They've shown some level of commitment and they know something about your business. The least you can do is give them some warning. In addition, your business may be cyclical. Keeping them around may be cheaper and safer than hiring new people when demand picks up.
Simply calling my argument stupid does not refute it. Please explain how they are different in relation to the debate at hand. You can replace murder with any crime you wish and my statement remains the same.
With murder, the cops use a subpoena to get relevant info in an investigation. What we're comparing this to is potentially allowing anybody to get this info without a subpoena and for a much less serious offence. You argument is stupid and I feel dumber for having heard it.
So, depending on where you start reading, one could believe that there are 10GHz rigs in the labs, transistor count == processor speed, Moore's Law is about price performance, or transistor density doubles every 18 months.
I know for a fact that there were 10Ghz chips in the lab as early as 1997. The problem was that these were technology prototypes, and so only had about 10k transistors and a huge heatsink.
Out of curiosity, does running two processors side by side really help with heat dissipation?
Yeah - you can do stuff like turn one off when it isn't being used. this would require software support except for the dual-core case, but you could have a 4way box that drops 3 procs when idle.

Frankly I liked it better when the FCC worked on the printable that the air waves belonged to the people.
Printable? What is this, IRC?
So, from the outside, it would take asymptotically long, as the closer it got to a singularity, the more time would dilate, right?
IANAL but wouldn't this be considered as satire?
I would expect that it would be better classified as impersonation, which isn't protected speech, IIRC.

Do you see any ugly people in music videos or movies aimed at 18-25 audience?
Ever been to a BareNakedLadies show? Maybe they aren't ugly, but they are (were) fat.

Yes, he should spend the rest of his life in jail for being a violent repeat offender. Absolutely.
Yelling at a kid at the movies isn't a violent offense in my book.
My point is that obscurity is easy to compromise. Secure design much less so.
Perhaps you should have made your point less... obscurely.

Security-thru'-obscurity shouldn't even be the first layer: as soon as the obscurity evaporates, so does any security it supposedly provided.
Are you familiar with the concept of a Tautology? What you just said applies to every layer of security - once compromised, it's compromised.
A useful product with poor security has much more value than a secure product with poor usability.
Maybe on your LAN, but not out in the big bad world. Crap security and a friendly GUI is what got MS in all the trouble it's in.
Personally, I make sure I know the answers to that sort of question before ANY changes are made to my production systems.
Hey, me too. Then I make sure afterwards - belt and suspenders, right?

I read /. Not articles.
Yes, of course. I forgot where I was.
So that the good people of /.
(and the other people of /.)
Don't wipe out a single server (yeah, right!)
Wow, a Slash-clusterfuck. I mean, a beowulf cluster of slashdots. Um, how about a MIRVed slashdot warhead. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Was your point that people are trying alternative approaches to make systems faster? Because that point was made in the article.
