It was funny/insightful because a lot of the C programmers I know (including me) will occassionaly think that way.
Overflow protection!? WTF do you need that for, it's only one or two lines per buffer to do it! Keep it out of the compiler! Occassionaly, ouch my foot ensues!
I mean a lot of C programmers I know (no idea what percentage of the total, anectodotal, blah, blah) dislike C++ because of inheritance!
Definately a funny AND an insightful comment for that particular type of programmer.
Simply put, it takes less than an hour, and what does it hurt? If you don't use it, you're definately throwing it away. There are other parties out there that can get federal or state matching funds if they garner a percentage of the popular vote. If you're going to throw your vote away anyway, find one with an agenda you agree with and just vote that way. At least then you're making some amount of difference in changing the political structure of this country.
No, it's not worthless. If all of the disaffected people who DIDN'T vote actually went out and voted, we wouldn't be in this mess. Less than half of those eligable voted in the last presidential election... and the majority of the ones that do vote right now happen to be rightist conservative whackos.
So, go out, vote, get your friends to vote. Look at the records of those you can vote for, if they lied, if they deviated, if they were "bought" they're instantly ineligable. Make a damn party or event out of it.
Go to colleges, provide literature, research get people out to the polls. Unless you live in Florida, then well, it really might not matter.
Yea, I know, but the idea of the gov't supporting GPLed software isn't going to fly well. At least a BSD style, or more free liscense makes EVERYONE happy. MS can't screw over compatibility since all US gov't is required to use the OSS software (or at least the standards), and they can still make money.
It's the compromise between GPL and Proprietary that we need, with the ability to modify it into either.
And I don't see the problem, if you can get the original for free, MS had best made some damned fine improvements to it. That would be what you would be paying for.
You completely missed the point. The GPL is NOT the liscense for gov't work, because it can not be used in ANY way you choose, you can't sell changes to it, you can only charge for distribution.
No, KH Bob's changes become GPL, and MS can use the original. KH Bob loses nothing, and MS can't profit from his work w/o his consent.
It is a political decision. What I'd like to see is a purchase ban on proprietary AND GPL'd software. GPL, while great in it's own way, is not a good liscense for government software because it is too restrictive, and the fruits of development are not shared in an unrestricted manner (see also: to the proprietary software companies).
So, I'd like to see it all liscensed under a liscense that permits those who modify it to change the terms of the liscense. Kernel Hacker Bob could liscense his changes to it under the GPL, and big bad software company MS could just incorporate it into Windows.
Not everything is sensitive to infrared light, traditional film for example is not by it's nature sensitive (some cameras use infrared light in place of sprockets for more accurate film positioning), but digital cameras and normal camcorders are.
You could filter out IR light rather easily though, and it wouldn't degrade quality much at all.
"Three Pings for the Admins under the sky, Seven for the Techs in their halls of stone, Nine for lUsers doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie. One Ping to rule them all, One Ping to find them, One Ping to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Redmond where the Shadows lie."
One shop I worked support at, we could format their hard drives, with no notice, and no reason. These people weren't supposed to be saving ANYTHING to the hard drive, since it wasn't backed up, and computers were cycled out every 3 years, so it wasn't uncommon for us to make enforcement rounds, format machines, reimage them, and if they lost a lot of work, well they had to make that up on their own, unpaid time.
I almost never saw work data on a hard drive. When I did, good bye data if you pissed me off.
No math skills, no algorithmic skills. No core classes. No learning a defunct language for half the time. Completely different for sure.
Screw a CS degree, mine's a less useful Math degree, it hasn't been around that long, and it's really not the all that and a bag of biscuits some people claim. But, hey, at least I learned ADA, and COBOL.
Explain in no uncertain terms that if you run Windows and expose those services to the web, the computer will be hacked with days, maybe hours, maybe years, but it will be hacked, guaranteed.
Stuff like this is just one more reason to avoid MS except when you need it. You should be able to expose an IIS/sql server to the web w/o having to bang on it for days.
Ashcroft is not the anti-christ... he's not.. I don't know... slick enough I guess. I'm pretty sure he uses the constitution for toilet paper, and if nuclear war broke out his first concern would be to cover up all the naked statues.
In short, he's the type of religious person who gives religious people a bad name. If everyone who sited god as their reason for doing something realized that, umm, hey, that was those darned suicide terrorists reason for killing 5,000 people, maybe I shouldn't base my governmental decisions on this... This country would be a hell of a lot better place.
Side note: I'll bet you a beer the next abortion clinic bomber under this administration doesn't get brought up on terrorism charges.
You mean we still have a constitution... damn. The way some people talk around here I thought Shrub and Ashcroft had snuck in a few changes to the original or maybe destroyed it.
Nothing to see here, move along.

Why do we even have a department of homeland security? We had the National Security Agency prior to the establishment of "Homeland Security" so now we're defending both nation and homeland. As a nation of immigrants, aren't our homelands pretty widely disparate, so shouldn't it be Global Security or some such nonsense. The NSA did a pretty bang up job actually, considering the number of terrorist related casualties in this country per year since the advent of global terrorism as we know it now.
Remember, this year: Oceania is our friend, and has always been our friend, Eurasia is our enemy.
Next year: Eurasia is our friend and has always been our friend, Oceania is our enemy.
Anyway, you're still more likely to be killed or injured by an action of your own government than to be killed by a terrorist (Police brutality, prison, etc.), entirely more likely to die in a car accident, and entirely more likely to kill yourself. So, what is it we're all worried about?
A solid unix "needs" to be rebooted once a year, more as a sacrifice to the computing gods than to anything else.
One-three months of uptime is laughable. My linux desktop stayed up for over a year, and I only powered it down because I was moving. Our sun and linux servers at work have been up for over a year, it's about time for the god's sacrifice.
If windows claims to be stable, I hope your experience isn't the norm.

Good, I'd like to see strict liscense enforcement of windows apps.
It'll do nothing but help out the OSS community, after all, our stuff is free AND legal.
Ninth amendment.... wait, you're one of those people who thinks that congress can't tax our income aren't you!

If all you want is a 5GB+ MP3 player under $200, then you can get a creative nomad jukebox for $159.
About the size of a CD player and less battery life/ flexibility of use, but, there's what you described.

Everyone wins, public funds distributed properly.
What's possix, did you mean POSIX?
Windows NT sure as hell does not fit cleanly into the POSIX standard.
Cooperative multi-tasking, yay!

You can mostly eliminate two, but not entirely.
And a converse example is getting non-admin access to an NT/2k/XP box, you can perform a shatter attack and get admin.
The larger the organization, the easier it is to social engineer.
The more relationships they have with outside companies (outsourcing IT for instance) the more susceptable they are.
There is no way to be immune to a good con.
You meant spalling/grammer errors, of course.
We speak english good around around here.
You mean, the one true ping?

Much apologies to userfriendly and tolkien.

You're centralizing your data, ya see. So every site you view is logged at anonymizer along with your IP.

He was right, you can remote shatter Windows Terminal Services.
