And the beast shall be made legion. Its numbers shall be increased a thousand thousand fold. The din of a million keyboards like unto a great storm shall cover the earth, and the followers of Mammon shall tremble.

Not always. There are alot of embedded applications where there is no operating system at all. Each program would function as its own operating system. There is overhead with OSes and sometimes you don't need the functionality. When you have simple hardware with a simple interface, dropping the OS is a good option.
Also, I'm pretty sure the software that runs air traffic control or cars has a chain of responsibility going back to the programmer.
Uh... what do think a cartoon is smartass? A whole lot of still pictures displayed real fast. Besides was Cool World a movie? How about Roger Rabbit? If so how much live actions shots are needed to make it a movie? One? Christ, if its shown at a movie theater its a fricking movie.
For example, in any conceivable situation, division always takes longer than addition.
What about division by a power of two? For those non-CS people out there multiplication and division by powers of two can be implemented by shifting bits. Shifts are commonly faster than addition/subtraction.
Please someone mod this up. I've been trying to say this for years, and perhaps never as eloquently. When you are managing 100K LOC (that's lines of code not library of congress), managers don't care that our programs run three seconds slower, but that they are saving heaps of money in development and maintenance.
I know with Eclipse, that it keeps an instance of the VM running so that it doesn't have to start every time you want to run or debug the program. This would only affect start up times though.
Eclipse isn't an all purpose editor like jedit. When I'm doing development, I do all my java and ant build files in Eclipse and have another jedit open for editing input files, xml, or anything else I need.
I strongly suggest you try eclipse over jedit development. With plugins, Jedit may do almost everything that eclipse does, but eclipse does them more smoothly and cohesively. Right now thought its only for java/c/c++ (even COBOL!) but that won't stop people for writing plugins for everything.
They are going through the French equivalent of bankruptcy IIRC. They are restructuring themselves and ridding themselves of unprofitable ventures. I can't remember if they have emerged from bankruptcy or not, but development on Mandrake Linux never really stopped.
One of the problems I've always had with Mandrake is setting up imwheel to use the side buttons on my mouse. Is this implemented in 9.1 final? becuase it didn't automatically set up extra mouse buttons on my 9.1RC2. Sure this can be fixed by someone with some know how, but shouldn't be included so "it just works?"
I took the class at Pitt and i think it was a logical step to go to token ring. First we step up communications between two computer. Then three. Then the entire lab. What is the simplest way to implement a network know that you've just learned rs232? Token ring. Ethernet has a lot more stuff going on than token ring.
Besides there were only two or three weeks to implement the token ring stuff. And everything was in assembly. Written in DEBUG. The smarter students used NASM. We developed our own class standard protocol. There's no way we could have implemented ethernet in that amount of time.
We do learn about Ethernet in other classes but AFAIK we never implement it ourselves
First, please mod myself and parent down as off-topic.
Dear Governor Bush
Blantant disrespect. President Bush did not break any laws becoming president. Both He and Gore tried as hard as they could. Tell me Gore would have not persued similar actions if the rolls had been reversed. Two, the presidential election is not a popular vote. Blame the system if you are unhappy with the result. Dubbya is president. Get over it.
Just like when you went AWOL while the poor were shipped to Vietnam in your place.
G.W. was a fighter pilot in the reserves. There was a good chance that at any time his unit could have been called up. Ingoramus.
Two, I support war. I personally have serval close friends in Kuwait, and offshore. The timing may be dubious, but Saddam needs to be disarmed and he's had more than a decade to do it. What reason do you think that he'd disarm himself.?
Point: Pacificism and indesicion got the world into a heap of trouble before world war 2.
Also, when my friends are out there fighting Iraqis, they will be fighting a lot of French military equipment. Also French subborness pushed a gun-ho president into war, when they could have at least considered a new resolution, and not flatly rejected it even before Iraqis. If the French wanted to delay war they could have. They just wanted war under no curcumstances. How could that be a rational option?
Please someone explain the anti-war justification to me. I consider myself an open minded indiviual, for what reasons should we not go to war?
Well, I believe this is the best thing that we could have hoped for coming from Microsoft. Even a division between content and format will allow data to be transferred more easily from one format to another.
You could have the same xml content file to outputting to pdf, rtf, postscript, and any number of other formats. Separating data from format is one of the strengths of xml. This is much better than straight binary format or (ugh) RTF. Separating data and format is a good thing.
You don't keep xml data in your xsl stylesheets do you?
What does "IP addresses in email headers that are valid" mean?
HELO my.ip.address - if you've ever used telnet to send SMTP mail you know that command. That's what I'm talking about. When the first hop router sees that line in a packet it would (in my plan) look at an additional key field that it give to that IP address, thus making it alot harder to forge that IP address.
Of course we know that spammer can secure tunnel their mail to insecure servers, but that's what black lists and filters are so good at dectecting and filtering.
I know it doesn't solve everything, but still striving for forge-resistant IP address will make an already hard game even harder for spammers.
Also there can be a DNS type system for the client side to use. Send the key and IP address to the ISP responsible for it and ask if it's valid. Of course you would have to trust the ISP. However, every ISP will strive to be trustworthy or else their mail will get blocked.
The main point is there are technological solutions available to hold spammers more responsible for their actions. Once that happens, "bad" spam is effectively neutralized, while "honest" spam will get through but will be subject to lawsuits such as this one.
How about extension/modification to SMTP that ensures that IP addresses in e-mail headers are valid? I imagine a key system where the user requests a key from his ISP. This mail key is sent back to the user for limited time use, perhaps a day or when the DHCP expires and the user needs a new key. Of course this means filtering of SMTP on the ISP side which could be a big expense
Anyway the server looks at the from line in the header which now has a IP-key pair to see if it is valid. The server appends it's own daily key saying that it has checked the IP for validity.
On the recieving side, the server looks to see if the sending mail server is using this system, and does it's own filtering based on the IP addess (i.e. no 192.168.* or 172.28.* or other addresses reversed for special purposes)
Once this sytem becomes widely available, incoming servers can just ignore mail that does not conform to this system.
Ensuring IP address validity will be a big step in keeping spammers honest. If people could directly respond to spammers then we have sovled almost all SPAM abuse problems. Other valid SPAMs can be effectively filtered out on the client side. These steps will reduce SPAM effictiveness to a negligable level, while preserving valid emails from mailing lists and such.
The ISO doesn't only do tech stuff. In this case, ISO 9002 is a quality assurance standard. ISO probably went in and did an audit on how they maintained quality.
I guess it makes sence to put on the bag that their standard of quality for their product has been tested and approved by an ISO team.
No it's really not. You just can't plug any XML in there, you have to put their schema in. XML is just a format. In your logic HTTP and SMTP would be the same protocol. They are just ASCII in packets aren't they?

Programmers build on top of an OS

Doesn't Linksys and the other home networking companies have anything to say about this? I mean, hell, they've got money to spend on politicians.
For example, in any conceivable situation, division always takes longer than addition.
What about division by a power of two? For those non-CS people out there multiplication and division by powers of two can be implemented by shifting bits. Shifts are commonly faster than addition/subtraction.
Anyway, interesting point.

I know with Eclipse, that it keeps an instance of the VM running so that it doesn't have to start every time you want to run or debug the program. This would only affect start up times though.
actually, IIRC, that's what the compiler already does for inline concatenation i.e. System.out.println(thisstring+thatString);
No, DVDs have dramatically more space than VCDs. Why not just encode at the VCD quality and fit a lot more on the DVD?

I think you are wrong. The link works for me. Is there an RFC saying that you can't have underscore in hostnames domainlevels?

dear_raed is not a top level domain, it is second level which does not adhear to the same guidlines.

Open office does this. Content and format are stored in different sections of their compressed xml format.
Just because format and content are separated doesn't mean they need to be visible to the user.
Well, I believe this is the best thing that we could have hoped for coming from Microsoft. Even a division between content and format will allow data to be transferred more easily from one format to another.
You could have the same xml content file to outputting to pdf, rtf, postscript, and any number of other formats. Separating data from format is one of the strengths of xml. This is much better than straight binary format or (ugh) RTF. Separating data and format is a good thing.
You don't keep xml data in your xsl stylesheets do you?
I never said for how long. IIRC, Scandinavians are said to bring their saunas upto 90C for short periods of time.
I was mearly pointing out that the parent logic was flawed. Even humans can survive in heat close to 100C.
Well it's not all the clear. There are species of bacteria that survive in pools of water quite a bit hotter than 100C.
