In fact, I have yet to see any software package that says it is guaranteed to work without problems, all the time, under all circumstances, without first paying *huge* support contracts and getting a guarantee from the software company.
Not really. I disagree with you about a "ratings system for programming." There doesn't need to be yet another thing for the gov't to use to tell us what's wrong and what is right. This technology was available when I was a kid. It was called (for the first offense) "Mom says don't watch that TV show." The second offense was no TV, at all, for X days/weeks/months.
Basically, this is a societal problem, not a technological one.
Then we'll have the best of all worlds: parents who don't give a shit can let their kids watch what they want...
I fail to see how a parent not giving a shit what their kids do is a 'best world'
Better yet, don't censor the airwaves at all, just require a very thorough, detailed, and precise rating system, and enforce it.
NO! This is the wrong approach. The gov't should not do any of this. The FCC should be there to make sure Company A's radio freqs don't mess with Company B's radio freqs, and end there.
The gov't saying what's wrong and what's right, what's too sexually explicit and what's not, is completely wrong.
If soccer mom's are afraid that their kid might see something bad on TV, they can: A) don't let the kid watch TV or B) let the kid watch and explain it was wrong. having the gov't rate what is right and wrong is just flat-out wrong. what's next? the FCC says a Christian radio show isn't indecent, but a Jewish one is?
Keeping children safe is the responsibility of the parent, not the gov't.
on most TVs, there is a dial, keypad, or buttons that can be used to change what channel is currently showing. it's an amazing piece of technology that a parent can use to influence the life of a child
it serves up 25 floating licenses for pretty much every extension esri has
part of the problem is that there are other installs of flexlm on that box... one for erdas imagine, another for matlab, another for sun's compiler suite, etc
only the flexlm that comes with the arc stuff gets flakey. about every other month it needs a good SIGHUP and then it's ok
what's better? throw something together with grass and gmt? right
people are willing to pay (i work with gis people that work with that.gov (we all happen to live/work in maricopa county as well)) because arc stuff is hands-down kickass
now... getting esri's bundled flexlm to not crash all the time is another thing =9 (flakey e220r is the prob imo)
i thought cell phones were for making goddamn phone calls, not surfing the web
don't want flash on your cell phone? the choice is easy. don't buy a cell phone with flash on it (or that is compatible with running Flash-Lite or whatever)
what i meant by "that's PHP's user base" is "that's PHP's user base that is put in a predicament by mysql ab's poor posturing" i just didn't state it clearly =)
thanks for your work on php btw. much appreciated!
yes. sqlite is very nice. i've used it a few times. it lacks a few things that i think even a new php (or perl or whatever) web developer would need from a db though
they've had years to fix this. this problem started long ago. mysql did it to themselves, and, with the popularity of php (specifically the number of site-building packages that make use of it), hopefully mysql ab will see the error of their ways
perhaps now we'll start seeing more and more sites deploying php/pgsql
go move to cuba or north korea then if you hate 'crapitalism' so much
i love how the gnu crowd is always talking about free this and free that, but they want to force a license on developers. or is everything else past that free?
i agree with most of your post, everything except "the FCC has determined that the IDEA... is offensive"
that's the problem. the FCC hasn't determined shit. it's completely how they interpret it. "blow job" on oprah and "blow job" on howard stern... which one do you think is going to be rated indecent?
yes, let's not have them say anything about it beforehand. let's wait for them to get hit with the new $3000000US fine first, then they (and us!) have a right to complain about it
i dunno how busy/. really is, but howardstern.com (especially now the forums) is pegged almost 24/7
howard et all are on vacation (for another week i think). when he gets back, i'm sure it will get mentioned. hopefully the rest of his fans can keep it civil (heh) on the fucktard's blog

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all of FreeBSD is like that. Take a look for yourself.

Seacrest OUT!
this is not a problem for the gov't
this problem can be solved very easily

How many major for-profit php apps can you name? Yes, many commercial sites use PHP. But a ton of noncommercial sites do too
there are probably more commercial sites running php with a backend other than mysql specifically because of mysql's licensing games
and that's "PHP's user base"

sorry, i think you got that wrong

vlans are for performance. cisco has incorrectly convinced people they are for security
we use make and lp to handle dependencies, queueing to other machines, etc. not too difficult to setup if you know what you're doing
