Anyone accessing the data needs the keys, so the keys have to either be send before users access his site or have to be stored on the server - either way it's simply not doable.
Wouw... Just wouw, he runs some code without knowing what it is supposed to do on a live server?
In a company I used to work we had an object with the function "destroyDatabase" which did exactly what it said (well cleaned up data for testing purposes). For some reason someone allowed this to get on to the live servers.
Several generations of coders later some smart guy decides to run this function on the live server, because he was wondering what the function did...
You are claiming ATI will outright steal from Nvidia, whether one driver is better than the other doesn't matter, I want you to back up your claim that they would do something like that.
1. The whole point of making it legal is having state controlled trading - and thus making the state huge amounts of money on taxes (think billions of dollars in California alone). 2. Smoking marijuana can make some people crazy, but most people do just fine with it. What usually ruins peoples life is when the drug dealer passes off some shady mixes of drugs and gets the user on to something stronger (Smoking marijuana doesn't automatically lead you into stronger drugs) 3. When the government is issuing the drugs you should get less social negatives (see Holland) - but it does of course require you to take care of your citizens, and frankly the US has a less of pristine track record on that account.
As if it's ITs fault. Most companies I've worked at I have pointed this very situation out and usually get overruled based on the cost of doing it "right".
(It isn't enough to have several people with the password, you need to know how to recover if you lose total communication with the guy responsible - ig. died.)
Also it isn't just IT. Last months pay got delayed at my company, which really shouldn't happen since KPMG is responsible for taking care of payments for our company. The reason? The lady responsible for authorizing the transfer was the only one with the passwords to do so, and she was in labor.
I pretty much agree with what you said. General software patents are bad, but some stuff is worth granting a company exclusive rights to for a period of time. I'm currently working on some pretty funky routing protocols for a telecom, no one is doing it like this and we truly expect this to be a major selling point, to me this should be patentable because it really is a non obvious way to solve the problem.
One way of fixing it, is to grant patents, but limit them to something like 3-4 years. Changes happen extremely fast in the computer business industry, the big pharmaceuticals got it like that (8 years I think?). You research something, come up with a new way of doing it and get rewarded with exclusive rights for a limited period - there is no more patent trolling, if you got an idea and want to make money on it, do it fast or you lose. No more sudden "well we patented this idea back in 1996, never figured out to implement it, but give us a bazillion dollars anyways".
Human beings as a rule does not need to add debug statements to some kernel. Generally the Ubuntu works for the masses, sometimes some user comes along and needs more than the 99% others. Annoying as it might be, he - or she - is going to have to work a bit harder to get his exact wishes satisfied, that's how life is, if you aren't among the millions of drones, be prepared to work harder.
Start with SML (moscowML is a nice one), teach him what recursive functions are and how to solve problems. Teach him about datatypes and how to define your own, show him how to make trees and how to traverse them (go look at the curriculum, run the same thing with him - heck as a C programmer chances are you will learn something) If someone is used to programming ML can be quite hard to understand and very frustrating, however as a language for someone new to programming its easy to get started with and it wont teach you bad habits like PHP.
Next is usually Java, its a nice object oriented programming language for newcomers to learn about objects and its a safer way to program compared to C/C++. If the interests in programming still persists at this point show him C/C++ and the work you are doing.
Also remember, while doing all this you should gradually introduce stuff like algorithms and advanced math, they go hand in hand with programming.
Do we really understand all the factors in global warming?
No. In fact we are pretty sure its not global warming, but global climate change. And this solution sounds to me like pissing your pants to keep yourself warm, the oceans are already the biggest sink for CO2, would be way more concerned about destroying the ecosystems with lime.
Well if they ripped off facebook, then facebook ripped off about a million other sites with a login form and quick links to important parts of the site...
There are only so many ways of setting up your login box and the order in which you can put, help, about, etc.
That is most likely due to tax reasons. When they ship from the warehouse its most likely to customers. When they do the air freight for employees they are probably charging themselves an arm and a leg to move money out of Australia.
I can spend 10 hours a day going around the town picking up pennies people dropped, or I can spend 10 hours working at a burger joint flipping burgers. At the end of the day which 10 hours would give me more money? (Ok it might get pretty close with flipping burgers)
My point is, don't waste time on something that by algorithmic standards have zero impact, echo overhead is just a constant. The real juice is in your loops, you might save a few "pennies" by spending hours shining up those echo statements, or you could save a couple of hundred bucks by moving a couple of loops around, perhaps add a missing index to your database - add a cache or something similar.
While having those "pennies" might seem nice, you miss out on the real "cash".
Ok that just about spend all the dough that metaphor had.
Nice to see at least one sane person reads Slashdot:-)
People have completely missed the point and most responds looks like they have around zero knowledge about what really matters.
I've seen people spend hours to optimize something for 1-2% increased performance - its a waste of time if it doesn't increase performance by orders of magnitude. The price per cycle easily dwarfs the price of buying new hardware.
Just out of curiosity why are you rambling about basic SQL in reply to a PHP bashing?
And using Yahoo, Google or Wikipedia as examples of scalability just shows what you know. Scaling for searching and hundreds of reads per write is simple, scaling for real time high volume critical data is hard.
Just like all the other responders you seem to have completely missed the point, and top it up with some random rambling that just sounds fancy, but sure still doesn't look like you know what you are doing.
Sure shows quite a lot of people with zero clue hang out around here, just because code is readable doesn't mean its slow. But my grand parent wanted to drop readability and upkeep for the pitifully low clock cycle counts you save by having the parser stop parsing.
Might wanna go look at a few loops, regex and see if you perhaps are doing that wrong before you go save on an echo statement. But hell what do I know.
I love abbreviations, not being native English speaker I used to think POS was "piece of shit" since its usually being used when talking about software (failed software).
(Or the always common "IANAL", well good for you buddy, but we are talking about legal issues here - the arse pounding is for when you get behind bars)

and he would even get to pay for the bullet. (Well his family would)
Bloody hell, you owe me a new keyboard!

They have full access to what he hosts, how do you propose the guy encrypts this without them having access to the decryption keys?
Well its bad to have turned on if you don't have battery backed drives.
So I was right, you are trolling, too bad the mods can't see that.
You are claiming ATI will outright steal from Nvidia, whether one driver is better than the other doesn't matter, I want you to back up your claim that they would do something like that.
Nice trolling, a bit of linkies perhaps to back your statements?

The problem is you then get marked as bloated, and since it's geeks recommending distros said distro will probably not get recommended.

Since when does muslims have a problem with dogs?
Most "second generation" immigrants around here claiming to be muslims have dogs, usually attack dogs (with poor training).

True, but look at it this way.
