Make sure you get into a wreck in plausable sightof the "smart billboard", state loudly and frequently that you were distracted by it, and sue the maker of the billboard, the people running it, and whatever product was being "advertised" when you had your accident.
There's probably some "vacation time" you can get from your "hurting neck" in addition.
They want to stick it up, use it. Since they are targetting it to specific tastes they assume culpability.
I speak parts of both, I just didn't know the acronym. Thanks for the clarification.
I would hope that other slashdot readers would realize that, just like in programming languages, cultural terms, and slang, terms that are familiar to you may not be familiar to everybody, so spell it out.
That's odd. In Colorado (where I live), you have to surrender your previous license in order to get a Colorado Resident ID card or driver's license. If you claim you didn't have one they put you into the nationwide DMV system (no, I'm not going to call my mother and ask her for the official slingo) as having moved.
In regards to (2) above, I believe it's already the law in America <cough>home of the free </cough> that you can only vote where your identification says you live.
(As I was explaining to my family last christmas), with modern technology, it should take, oh, maybe an hour for the election to be finalized after is complete.
You're correct, you get a paper voting ballot, and a pencil. You go in, make your marks, and then put the ballot into an optical scanner in front of the election volunteers. The scanner decides what it thinks you penciled in, and displays it on a monitor that you, but not other people, can see. You then press a button, "yes", or "no" to indicate that the scanner recorded things properly. If you press "no", the scanner spits your ballot back out to you and you get another one until you figure out how to fill in circles properly.
At various times during the day (say, every two hours), the storage devices in the machines are replaced so that the counts can be verified and uploaded during the day. Once everybody's done, you have an electronic count with all the paper needed to back it up if you need to do hand counts.
Of course, that wouldn't make some company selling a propriatary system that you must sign a non-disclosure agreemnt to buy, any money,
In fact, I was thinking of doing the contest in Visual basic, just for spite
A really good psychotherapist might be able to help you with your masochist tendencies.
I mean, I'm all for allowing people to stick nails through their hands for religious reasons, and whatever consenting adults in the bedroom is between them, but I've gotta draw the line somewhere.
:P
Oh, and you have a ladybug climbing down your screen.
Does the skill of the programmer prevail over the limitations of the language and paradigm used[...]?
Well, duh. Skill counts more then language in everything. If the average slashdot-reading-geek got into a debate about anything with, say, Bill Clinton, who would you bet on? Conversely, if that same slashdot-reading-geek got into a debate with dubya, I ceertainly wouldn't be betting against the geek.
To put it another way, pick a programming language you know, and look at what you wrote when you first learned the language vs. what you write today. The language hasn't changed, it's your skill in it.
They go hand-in-hand. It's a lot easier to hack the xbox first, so you can figure out how the encryption/lockout stuff works. Then, you write a driver, hack, or whatever in software/hardware as needed for the general PC population.
They also make two-port switches, if you don't need a four-port one. Also eight-port and sixteen-port switches, if you really need them. If you need more then that, look in your yellow pages under "computer cables" or something similar.
Windows file sharing and its' clones just suck, plain and simple. Don't knock NetWare until you've played around with it and/or seen a network setup properly with it.
The best uptme() I've ever seen was with a server at work, "FS13", which stayed up for almost four years. The server admins finally had to shut it down because they were working on the power to the building, and emergency generators weren't available.
Since I was agree with the original poster, I will quote:
Novell has the filesystem with the best undelete I've ever seen. When a file is deleted, it's really just marked 'ready for deletion when necessary' and becomes invisible (sort of hidden), and it's diskspace is marked 'free/unused'.
Erm, no. When you delete a file, NOS/NDS, flags the file as "deleted", and timestamps it. As you reuse disk space, the space used by the oldest deleted file (regadless of owner) is removed first. Once the system uses any part of a deleted file, you cannot recover it.
As other posters have said, Novell also had LDAP/ActiveDirectory/NDS way before a lot of other people.
I wish my job would get back to Novell, or just buy a mainframe, or anything to get me off the "oh, we're rebooting that server" syndrome".
Many companies use a Windows development environment and/or Windows servers.
You are not responsible for their decisions. Severs and software have different capabilities, and are designed for different needs.
As for the rest of you comments, web servers,
file servers, print servers, e-mail servers, and client software are NOT database servers. If you really think they are equivelant, you need to turn in your geek card.
Oh, and we can't forget the millions of lines of custom COBOL that have been written and tailored to FedEx business processes. Code that would take some terrible amount of programmer-decades to re-engineer if we ever moved off mainframes.
You might just need to find somebody who's fluently compu-multi-lingual.
High price == validation that you're performing "real science".
Take a look at the science post from the other day about how they've broken the speed of light using off-the-shelf parts. No _respectable_ scientist would do that. Gotta have those grants.
Don't support it: don't buy it and don't rip them off - that's what it is, don't try to sugarcoat it.
I don't. My beef is with the fact that they want to prevent me from using material I have purchased legally on the systems I want to use it on.
Until they decide to stop that, the only place I'll buy CD's is at a second-hand store. The last movie I saw was in an independent theatre, before that, "The Matrix". I haven't bought a DVD (new or used) in over two years.
The only way the common people can fight big business is with their wallets.
As somebody who lost friends in the world trade center bombings, let me tell you how my life has changed.
It now takes me an extra hour to get through Denver International Airport (DEN) then it used to. Security is still a joke.
It now takes me an extra half-hour to get through San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Security is still a joke.
It can now take up to two additional hours to get through Lambert(STL) in St. Louis. Security is still a joke.
I no longer watch the news. Not because I'm tired of September 11th stories, but because I'm tired all the sensationalism, fluff pieces, and "police today arrested a dark-skinned man walking down the street, news at 11:00" stupidity.
I lost another friend. I've grieved, you (especially all the people who have never been to New York, don't know anybody who knew anybody that had a friend who was killed in the attack, and never gave a shit before it became popular to be "anti-terrorist", don't need to do it for me, so SHUT UP ALREADY.
Dubya and company have managed to reduce or get rid of most of the Bill of Rights. I expect that will adjust itself after the next election.
Other then that, nothing has changed. I refuse to change my life just because some lunatics decided to try and violate the laws of physics.
No, no, no. You want to patent it. Then you sue Tilley for whatever money he's managed to scam out of his investors, and give most of it to your lawyer.

Think "WindowsCE"
What's this "ladies" crap?
Microsoft would get some people to incorporate, sign up for their bullshit, and then they would parade it in front of the court.
Didn't you see the "I switched" and other PR blunders?

You mean you actually get minutes between requirement changes?
Where do I send my resume?

Two comments:
An avalance begins with the movement of a single snowflake.
Hopefully, they will care enough to type Linux into Google or somewhere, which can only help the OSS movement.

INAL.
Yes, this decision was made in california, and therfore, no it is not automatically binding on the other states, however...
Anybody, anywhere, can now include this judgement as part of their evidence regarding their non-competition lawsuit.
Regardless of how small, all victories help us information workers.

It was shown live, in Egypt.
Personally, I wish they would have forked out the dough for a worldwide live broadcast.
Let's pretend that I'm a reviewer. I have a cat. I put my "secure (BAWAHAHAHA)" walkman down on my desk so I can go get some more coffee.
Sparky, my tabby, realizes that the walkman is in her desktop sleeping spot.
Push, crash, bang, break.
Do they even have prisons for cats?
I don't. My beef is with the fact that they want to prevent me from using material I have purchased legally on the systems I want to use it on.
Until they decide to stop that, the only place I'll buy CD's is at a second-hand store. The last movie I saw was in an independent theatre, before that, "The Matrix". I haven't bought a DVD (new or used) in over two years.
