Ah yes, but most Apache servers run on some sort of unix. There has been quite a few bugs found in Apache or one of the mods which allow code to be run. Many of the Apache servers are run on something other then X86 and different versions of gcc (or other c compilers). The amount of different possible setups including os's is pretty large. This makes it a lot harder to write an exploit for it, than it is IIS which was compiled once and pretty much all runs on X86. (Is there anymore Alphas running Windows NT with IIS?).
It amazes me that so many OS X and OSS people are completely clueless. I find problems with almost every OS out there. For example, with NFS it is possible to assume root on your own box, and modify peoples files on the file server. So before you bash, think about what your saying. Think if it makes since. Make sure you know what your talking about. I appreciate your cooperation.
You can most certainly install an application in Unix without needing an admin password. You just install it locally. Windows will ask you for a username and password if you attempt to run an install without having administrative rights. Of course many people just use accounts because it is easier. I have no confidence they wouldn't run as root if they had OS X or one of the Unices.
Java applets are just as bad unfortunatly. Once they are trusted they no longer run in the sandbox. I've even seen Java applets that exploit weaknesses (all of which are patched now I thing) in some of the JVM's out there. So I would imagine it would be possible to do with a java applet to accomplish the same task.
7) Use a good quality gas of the octane level required by the vehicle
You might try adjusting the timing with this. I know with my car retarding the timing so it will run on regular eats up more money then it saves by buying cheaper gas. So I run premium, and enjoy gas milage out of a carburated engine that make many of my friends jealous with their much newer cars. The numers: 33 Highway, 21 City (heavy stop and go) for me. Also be conservative on your takeoffs.
That is aweful. What are you running in the rear? 4.27's? Did you do anything to the engine or is that stock? I'm pretty sure you can get it up much better then that if your looking for fuel economy.
Have you ever used CDT? It is a freaking joke compared to Visual Studio for developing C++. Code completion doesn't work half the time. It eats my prefered style of coding. The only place where I really see eclipse as a top notch is in the Java area. Yes I am a strong supporter of eclipse. But I've yet to see most of the other language support be any better then emacs.
Eh, I should have tried the latest. One of the earlier versions used to download ads, just not show them. Anyway, I still think my point is valid considering how many other things end up using ads especially if your on Windows where many programs such as AIM, Realplayer, etc seem incessant on giving you ads galore.
Adblock is nice. However as a recommendation for an even better option, block such sites addresses in either your host file or at the DNS level (my prefered option). I have seen many sites where 50-60% or more of the bandwidth is just annoying adds (I don't mind text ones, or a few simple small ones). Doing so makes having a slow connection a little more acceptable.
At that depth and pressure, I thought a mixture of helium and oxygen was more the norm...though I don't remember the science behind it. But I guess they didn't want everyone talking like Mickey Mouse, though it may have been more entertaining.
You would not have to use helium just because it is deep. A normal sealevel atmospheric composition will work fine, and provided your hull is tough enough, you could leave it at 1 atmosphere. Of course this would pose to problems:
1. Having to make the hull really strong since their is no counterbalance; or
2. if the structure is pressurized to better match that of the surrounding seawater (thus letting you get buy with a more fragile hull), then any sudden drop in the air pressure would likely result in nitrogren bubbling in the blood (the bends).
HeliOx mixtures are most often used because they allow more rapid rises to and from the deep and because they are safer. A normal atmospheric composition would require someone to most likely spend days just rising from say 1,000 feet safely. The ocean is fundamentally a much harder place to explore safely then is space.
Um, most of the time when you use the webcam and voice features it creates a direct connection between the two computers. Other then the voice in a chatroom, I don't really think those use very much bandwidth at all.
I loved the original Half-Life and most of the mods for it. Back in the early days, me and my friends on our land would quite often turn on wall hacks, aim modifiers, rapid fire hacks, and bunny hop scripts while playing with each other. We never would do this in the public games out of respect for other players.
I don't feal it is Valve's place to say people can't make hacks. In effect they are stiffling the creativity and enjoyment of the other people. Adding this tactic of suing cheat makers with many of their other recent tatics I am seriously considering not buying H/L 2. They are becoming very dictitorial about their game which I don't care for either.
I have not bought an RIAA album in over 4 years, nor have I downloaded song on P2P from an RIAA label because I do not care for their tatics or the crap they love to put out now. Now of course I have used P2P for obtaining opensouce software, or artist who don't mind P2P (and have even bought a large amount of their work). So adding Valve to the list is not that hard.
No replacement for displacement. j/k;-)
If you put bigger valves, camshafts with more lift, etc you will also need a new chip though, as many of the stock chips won't be able to handle the new parameters (like the extra fuel on the exhaust side at low rpm caused by the bigger cam). Thus you really need a tunable chip so you can match your new parameters.
I'd stay away from nitrous unless your doing a dedicated race machine in which case by all means put enough nitrous on it to blow the engine within a year (or sooner depending on how much money you can spend on engines).
Well then we should be writing our our compilers in a functional language. Many run fast and are even easier to prove correctness of a running program.
Nah man. Deus Ex. One of the greatest games every made. Well worth playing for the $10 it goes for now. Don't bother with the second though. It is a let down by comparison.
However,
If the private key was in the source code.. then it would have been in the production code. Thus the private key could be siphoned off of a running machine. That is not a secure system. Public key private key has nothing to do with what is going on here.
Performance is irrelavant here.

OpenGL in PHP
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
First I would like to point out that it is still making calls to OpenGL functions which were written in C (and asm most likely). Since PHP is a scripting language and in this case it is calling the OpenGL functions most of the work is being done in the OpenGL calls. Therefore it should run pretty well because most of the delay will be resulting from the C function calls. Scripting languages and all interpreter languages should do well even for simple scenes. They do slow down when you have a lot of logic going on however, such as updating a world model graph.
Calc 1 & 2 are very helpful if you do work toward Image Processing or Simulations. Linear Algebra is crucial to 3D graphics and it helps with 2D graphics. Differential equations can help with probablity fields for AI. I would say if you get into more of the advance CS classes, the math becomes more important. Of course 90% of the people are just trying to get their cs degree so they can develope webpages. I would say highschool algebra is probably more then enough for that.
It is true that Visual Studio can get in the way of your developement sometimes. However, I often find it helpful with many mudane tasks like making sure functions have the correct names etc. I have found many people who complain about C++ with its lack of memory management and how you shouldn't have to think about such things. Then I watch them and they are using XEmacs to write Java code! So now they are scratching their heads trying to figure out why something doesn't compile because they mistyped something in some file and have gotten over 100 errors. Doesn't make sense. But hey, you do know Visual Studio supports make files for C++ at least:-). It might for C# also.
Ah but the Win9x and WinNT's have all featured a command line for which you could run the whole system without ever seeing a GUI. Besdies I use both gui's and command lines. Depending on what I am doing a GUI can be much more usable or intuiative (especially if it is laid out correctly). I find that one reason I have to resort to the command line in OSX or the *nix's, is because the GUI interfaces are terribly designed. More standardized look and feel with windows applications, and because I use the GUI doesn't mean I don't get the "can't do anything useful" GUI that I find so often on unix. True, most Windows applications are more of a middle ground. They have a lot of power if your willing to get past the basics but not as much as a geek might like. With most Unix GUI applications I find that I either don't get enough power for what I need done, or I'm so swamped in details I'd sooner give up and type rm -rf * from the root as root.
I'll second his results. I too find it often much easier to navigate around in windows with a keyboard than in the popular linux gui's. Even better I can often get by using a mouse only without a keyboard and still get some work done. It makes it a little hard to program, but doing things like researching on the web, etc can be done without too much hassle.
Java woudln't really help other then when if I managed to access and index out of bounds. Java's ints are still size defined and do wrap around. Even worse, it has no unsigned types. If you are talking about an os you will often need unsigned types.
Java maybe nice, and I often program in it for school, work, or fun; however, it is not the greatest language out there. In fact it is missing many of the things I often desire when programming an application (Unsigned types, enumeration, operator overloading, Generics... Okay so they fixed some of them). However, Java is a everything has to be an object language which I find makes me feel like I am programming in a strait jacket. So usually I use C++ or Objective Caml (both of which I also find fault in). I would also use Lisp but haven't had time to learn enough of it.
How would you bounds check with the compiler? That would be a determanistic operation to figure out if a number wraps around in that particular case (means the code has to be executed). It would still be up to the program to make sure the number wouldn't wrap around. So this would be more of runtime information to be tested and the programmer would have to tell it if he wants the wrap around behavior or not. I suppose he could use one of the Lisp languages whos numbers are not dependant on machine word size.

I think you have confused Slackware with Gentoo. Oh wait Gentoo takes more then a lifetime. Never mind. Carry on.

You sir are correct. In such a case ambient pressure would have to match the surrounding enviroment.

Looks like OCaml to me, and even works in ocaml provided that everything is defined.
