Can someone please tell me why on earth you need 1 GB or 2 GB of storage space?
I've had a hotmail account for about 7 years now and I have never had it get more than 20% full. If I'm subscribed to lists I delete the emails after I read/reply.
If I say oh darn, I want that info again I generally know where the archive can be found & searched.
What are people storing in email that is so huge. With attachments limited in size to 10MB it doesn't seem like an effective storage for software etc. I simply cannot fathom; someone care to shed some light? Is it every joke/humor email they've received stored away; what, what, what? I feel like I'm missing out hehe.
Perhaps that's why I just gave up my $70k a year job. I'm still working on the CS degree mind you,the mathetmatics and programming courses I am taking are fascinating.
Until I find something exiting and meaningful to apply my learned skills to though, it's the Marines Corps for me.
Who knows; maybe I'll program for the Marine Corps (they mostly uses ADA); but that's not my goal going in. We'll see in 4 years when I should be done with my degree and my first stint is up.
But not to stray from the point; ya working it IT either as a network admin or programmer sucks ***
There is a book used for this. We donate old hardware through the Cristina Foundation and they give us a slip for taxes that states the fair market value based on some book or another.
I really cannot remember off the top of my head, but it is probably something along the lines of the Orion Blue Book"
I would have fucked with their heads and been like, unfortunately due to abnormally high radiation and toxic gas levels these poor young comedians wont live out the month.
Come on you should have at least tried to hoax the hoaxers and get a good reaction out of them.
Tell her it is better to imbue her visitors with psychic powers so that she can talk to them silently. This is what I do. No one suspects a thing and I hold conversations with dozens of people a day. HA! Take that!
Personally, I like the direction. Having taken C and having been a stalwart supporter of that languages power, I cannot tell you how happy I am you don't have to put up with this bullshit in Java.
But that is just the lazy half of me. All the checking and built in handling that Java does slows it down. Not only does it improve life for the developer, by giving him one less chance to mess up, it also helps the end user by giving the developer one less chance to screw up.
But then again it is slow. And C has benefits over Java in some arenas to be sure (I'm hardly an expert but I am sure you and others know this.)
So my answer is don't have all students learn just Java, don't have them all learn just C, or just Assembly. Hell, if you do teach primarily in just one, then force them to take a course in 2 other languages as well, and a course in theory that predominatly teaches the advantages and disadvantges of each with some lab/project demonstrastion...
And for the record, I agree with you, not everyone should be a Java programmer, but not everyone should be a C programmer either...
Like everyone else is telling you, the math helps.
I hated it; absolutely hated it. The first time I took Calculus I passed with a 61.
I ended up taking it again and got it right the second time around with a solid B, went down a bit to a C in Calc II, and brought it back up in Linear Algebra with nearly an A.
I HATE math; HATE it. But you need to know these things. I would take Calc I and II again someday just so I could peg it even better than the second (!) time around.
No one ever said it is easy. No one ever said you're gonna like doing it. No one said you are going to use every last piece of it when you get done with the classes. But I'll tell you; once in awhile something pops up, and you're gonna wish you knew a little Linear Algebra....
Not the fastest server on earth, but faster than my p166 POS running Linux just fine; would completely silent (no fans) or at least it is when you're not accessing your p*rn, mp3, software, etc., collection if you go with the HDD. Only pain in the *** would be using syslinux to boot... and of course I don't know about using a RAM disk to run the system, and CF might take all the writes and rerwites over lord only knows how much use... but it's the start of an idea I've been kicking around...
That's right I'm gonna get me some of these, paint em black, slap a plunger on each one, dress the 'shepherd' unit up as Davro's, get the mad crazy long scarf out, take a hit of acid, and I'm in my own personal Dr. Who episode baby!!!
I thought it was bad at work when I was getting 51kbps. That's on a fairly unused T1. Then I brought the laptop home and resumed on my cable modem connection; it's been 5kpbs pretty steady even after multiple retries and a reboot; i dunno; I've been like you in the past with ultra fast downloads; but FC2T3 is blowing chunks of molasses today. I've been going since the torrent was made available this morning give or take ten minutes and im still trying to get the darn images down...
Windows:
Diskeeper, McAfee VirusScan, WinSCP, PuTTY, WS_FTP LE, Winzip, VNC, Ad-aware, google toolbar, either MS Office or OOo depending if it's a home or work PC.
Linux:
expect, McAfee VirusScan, chkrootkit, (and if it is a Desktop) VNC, OOo, Mozilla, conntrack, firestarter, macromedia Plugin (for Mozilla), and j2sdk or j2re (j2re if just for Mozilla, j2sdk if I'll be programming for my classes)...
That said, expect, OOo, VNC, and Mozilla all come straight of my distro these days; so really I don't even install those...
As for a server; the less the better; the way less the way better...
So this guy admits that what the NSA has done with Linux in the form of SE Linux is a boon to Linux. But they should not use it. Does the word hypocrite mean anything to you?
And since when does Linux have anything to do with government policy, or the war in Iraq? If they didn't use Linux, they'd use HP-UX, or Solaris, or Windows, or anything else. Has the thought even occurred to him that perhaps the reason we've lost so few men and women to this point is due to superior equipment, some of which is running Linux, some of which could be pruchased because several hundred million dollars in licensing some other OS was not required?
You're LUG sucks. BOOHOO, let us blame the war in Iraq because it is so convenient. Wake up. It has nothing, NOTHING, NOTHING to do with the war in Iraq. Honest to God, there is nothing I hate more than whiny metro-sexual types declaring the doom of mankind because a war broke out. War has been waged since the dawn of time. The only difference now is that a vile dictator may have been justly removed from a position to opress his people. The answer as to whether it really was just, is what the US et al do next. Hopefully establish and nurture a government that will help the nation prosper. But we'll see. Hell, maybe they'll even use Linux to set up the new technology infrastructure.
But these two things, Linux and War in Iraq, have little if anything to do with each other.
once got so bored in college we started drawing smily faces on a couple thousand postits of varying size and color (the smily faces and post it notes for that matter); once we were done with that we stuck them all over the campus; she even went so far as to go into the ladies room; unravel the toilet paper; slap a post-it in there somewhere and then ravel it back up.
Book on depression in the library, no problem. We took a post-it with a smily, wrote under it don't worry be happy, and stuffed it somewhere in the middle.
Hell, I'm sure there are still post-its from us in some of the books that were covered under and inch of dust when we got there, let alone now.
Yes, the devious things you can do with post-its when you're bored.
What's it going to hurt? If a gay couple treat their significant others the way that they would want, then it's a far closer thing to marriage than what is practiced between men and women in some parts of the world; and even here in the united states for that matter.
Besides we do not discriminate against any other group in the United States (in theory); why start/countinue now?
I'm not gay and as such don't particularly give a **** what they do as long as it does not hinder my pursuit of happiness. And if you really feel the need to hate people like I do, hate everyone equally.
Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg. Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant SURBL. Many Spammers and Mass mailers knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the SURBL that day, I can tell you.

Oh, you did well. I'd mod you up, but you're already at 5 hehe.
A nice, big, cock...
ala Fight Club
What prompts people to screw with Top Secret government facilities. They are top secret for a reason; the sensitive nature of work done there.
You don't want your enemies to figure out how to build a nuclear bomb, but a next generation super fighter, or UFO if you're one of those, is OK?
If something did fall out of the sky and did land in our backyard, you should only be so lucky.

No, if you really read /. like the brainwashed simian you are supposed to be, you would know BSD is already dead. ;)

That is not a thesis. It is a proven fact. This 'nugget' is merely an affirmation of that fact.

I've just eaten 1/2 a small box of chocolate covered coffee beans and sucked down a fairly large cappucino. Not the question i want to be asking.
Of course, playing the game seems to leave a lot of people looking and acting like this: guy, so most people are hesitant to try it out.
