And yes believing that all the cops are out to get you is paranoia. I have friends that are cops and you know what they don't have a master plan to screw people over, they are in the line of duty to help people. So to listen to someone like you bash on them is rediculous.
If they start using this DB to trump up charges how will it hold up in court? No judge is going to let a case stand up just because you hangout in certain areas. We still have a justice system.
Well for the most part joe public doesn't care.... Hell I don't care if the FBI finds out my master plan for friday night (get shit faced and hopefully laid).
If you feel that your email is important enough to encrypt good for you.... some of us dont need it.
I can see that something like this could be abused but like everything you have to police its use. Solve the problem not the symptom. You don't trust this to be used correctly.
Everything they have is public knowledge. And don't get me started with the picture bit. If your out in public you are now part of the land scape, does it make a difference who takes the picture?
I wouldn't exactly call myself "naive"... young maybe not naive. I haven't given up my right to assemble I just know when I see people on the corner where drugs are sold I assume that either they don't care or are in involved with whatever is happening. I know when I'm around illegal doings I'm no saint.
You make it seem like peaceful gathering in the park are going to be spyed on by the cops.
Maybe I don't have a problem because my photo is on the internet. If they want a picture of me I've given it away already.
You really think keeping a photo of you should be protected? I don't know about you but I have no desire to ask every person in my vacation photo if they mind....
As for keeping records.... I believe that if used properly it could be a useful tool. If I'm hanging out with someone that deals drugs or is in a gang, I'm putting myself in harms way. If i'm hanging out in a place illegal things happen then yeah, the cops should be remembering my face. I don't like the idea of the cops keeping tabs on me... so I avoid the situation.
Oh and FYI the cops keep logs of this type of stuff already the difference is no they have gone tech to catalog it.
Actually photoshop on a Mac is better. The color syncing software has always been better on Macs. That the reason macs have managed to keep their lead in the graphics artist bizz.
and as for your comment about apple stealing UI from windows.... Haven't gotten out much have you? Microsoft has always been behind mac's in UI department.
Actually that makes the software proprietary to the hardware....
Why must everyone complain that OS X only runs on apple hardware. The reason it works so well and everything is integrated is BECAUSE apple makes the hardware and software. You pay for what you get...
Why aren't you bitching that Solaris, HPUX, and even windows doesn't run on PPC?
If buffer2 is bigger than buffer1 you overflow the stack (part of buffer2 goes on to the processing stack). snprintf allows you to speccify the largest size that can be copied into buffer1. The problem is snprintf is not supplied by all or even most vendors (linux seems to be the exception).
Hate to say it but VB and windows do have uses (insert snide comment here)... just as mysql does. For certain things mysql is the right way to go. I'm sorry but I think postgress is slow... for my simple selects mysql does it faster.
It always amayzes me when people complain that mysql doesn't have this or that.... if it doesn't do what you need DON'T USE IT.... end of story, but for some of us we get along just fine.
And yes I do work (@ work) with "real" rdbms (oracle, DB2 , ingress). And yes I do like the features they offer and frequently use them.
The problem with that theory is still who is going to access an open wi-fi network in the DC area.... knowing its a honey pot? I just can't believe that the data they obtain isn't tainted.
Actually I work in a clearcase env with NFS'd home directories and I believe if done correctly (100 Mbit atleast , fast machines , and not more than 50 people off 3 servers) it can work really well for a dev. env.
As for an open source solution I think CVS and the others can learn alot from clearcase, you can develop locally with clearcase and just check your stuff in when you believe its ready. Not to mention having the ability to mount the file system anywhere makes it much easier to bring the source code into a Lab and test/debug.
Or you could just have a server in between the GUI and the db that does your "number crunching" that way your db is seperate from your buiseness logic;-)
The plant where the work is done got is level 3 and I believe if everything goes as planned they are going for level 5 this december... they have everything in place you just have to collect the right metrics for a while (6 mon - 1 year).
dont' worry I've seen it before and laughed then as well. I'm sorry but they have a few tools to aid an ATC system not be an ATC system.
I've been doing ATC coding for a few years so I have a pretty good idea what goes into ATC systems of this size and I'm sorry but its hard enough to nail down requirements with 10 coders with excelent domain knowledge and 10 years experience. Its not something you can just throw your hat in the ring every great once in a while, its a job... so yeah an open source indever is a joke.
just because the primary system fails it doesn't mean the back up will... and even if it does just because you can't track the plane doesn't mean it falls out of the sky.
If a pilot loses contact with their controler they are required to follow there predefined route and land at their pre-determind airport.
Remember these systems still have to go down for maintence.
Slashdot Mirror
Hmmm unlike most people on slashdot I usually don't have to pay for sex .... only the drinks that make the ugly girls look good.
You must smoke ALOT .... paranoid?

Actually I agree with you ...
...
Linus read the email and in it was a discription of the IP that is being broken. Then he goes on to say he doesn't look them up on principle
Thats all well and good but there is proof that he does indeed know about the infrindgement and basically doesn't care.
I don't disagree with him but to turn a blind eye after you've seen something isn't going to save you....
Thank you i wasn't exactly sure :)
Now is it easier to calibrate the Mac or is it basically the same process?
Actually photoshop on a Mac is better. The color syncing software has always been better on Macs. That the reason macs have managed to keep their lead in the graphics artist bizz.

ACtually I thought QE was PDF based not PS .... the next platform was PS based but they got away from that because of security and other issues.
Using the word "bang" in a comment about one handed typing .... something on your mind?
sprintf(buffer1,"%s text string",buffer2);
If buffer2 is bigger than buffer1 you overflow the stack (part of buffer2 goes on to the processing stack). snprintf allows you to speccify the largest size that can be copied into buffer1. The problem is snprintf is not supplied by all or even most vendors (linux seems to be the exception).

How useful can this be? it was just announced on slashdot .... hackers don't read slashdot?

Alot of the unix commands still make me blush ...
touch , unzip , finger , mount , unmount , sleep
;-)
And I've been a unix developer for 5 years

Solaris under the hood. Ultra 5's running the displays with bigger iron for the RDP and other boxes.
Wrong ... Raytheon has been in the buisness of ATC for 20 years ....
... yeah ok. Please put down the crack pipe and come back to reality.
As for writting an ATC system by yourself
In the US the bartender can be sued ...
