I can't see any much more reason something like this would fail except for crappy mechanical parts. There's no atmosphere, so no little dust particles to bother it, and also a lot less gravity to fight due to distance from earth.
Seriously, space is probably the best place to put something if you want it to last. Aside from the possibility of floating junk/debris, there's a lot less outside influences than on earth.
If you've been stuck in a job where you've got several projects on the go, possibly all in different languages (plus databases), and with upcoming deadlines: chances are you will at some time face burnout. It's nice in that case to be able to have something to drop back onto. Sysadminning is a decent switch as you still have some coding but are often away from the hardcore coding. In the same aspect, coding can be a nice switch after being a sysadmin where users are screaming at you because their end-of-year reports are due and the server has crashed somewhere...
I've often considered a non-computer job, something in electrical, electronics, or perhaps automotive would be nice. I like to work with hardware, and my car isn't really that much more mystifying than a lot of PC stuff. Having something to switch off can be nice, especially if your current market gets overloaded with applicants.
As for coding, it's almost like a drug. You can become completely involved in a piece of software: resizing arrays in your head, dreaming up functions while you sleep, etc for the length of the project. Then, you almost want to cry when you're 95% done and you have to give up your baby because of a budget slice, or because a cheaper/faster/premade solution presents itself.
Indeedy, but earrings are also usually considered more acceptable than other piercings. Some with some low-key tats - they can be covered, and if they don't involved anything overly offensive they're usually not too bad anyhow.
IMHO, you can pierce yourself anywhere you please... but some things such as those *huge* ear spacers just give me shudders. And frankly, something like this is likely to get you an interview with an exorcist as opposed to a second job interview.
And yeah, when my gramma looks at an array of ring earrings and admiringly says "those look nice" - I think that they pass a little more easily than a tat of a grinning skull biting a kitten in half, or something along those lines:-)
But, it depends on the job you're looking for. My (male) earrings, hair colouring, and low age don't seem to affect my employment ability, and I'm working a nice tech job while currently sitting in an office wearing my sandals/shorts and typing to/.
Unless you meet a single female mathmetician, you've just divided your existing low probability of getting laid by 3.14159...
Seriously, while many girlies might think that a hunting-cat tat makes a guy look sexy, I think they'd find pi a little disattracting.
Oh, and try to avoid tats with names too, unless you plan on continuously dating girls by the same name should the existing relationship break up. Getting one of those "mom" heart tattoos, but replacing "mom" with "my boss" might just help your job perspectives in some cases though.
If they can make a device "bendable" why not just "touchable". No large protruding buttons, but maybe something to sense impact, body heat or electrostatic impulses. My touchpad on my laptop didn't seem to have a large controller chip, if they could microsize that perhaps we could have touchpad-cards?
I scanned the articles checked for anything on this, but didn't find a suitable answer. Will "PCI Express" be like USB, wherein it will support the older gen hardware as well as the newer hardware - or it will only support "Express" PCI devices?
It would be very nice to maintain a PCI port that was capable of faster speeds but still able to run old devices (somewhat like AGP 2x/4x/8x or USB 1.0/1.1/2.0 ramping up, ignoring recent USB developments).
I still remember one of biggest pains in my backside was trying to run PC's that needed an old ISA device (Scanner interface, old ISA SCSI card, special controller card, whatever) which I have heard is a drag on the whole system. Nowadays, I've got only PCI and AGP, though my old but still very good ISA SCSI scanner is still plugged into my 1Ghz Duron (with a single ISA port).
Will we get the best of both worlds? If express supports normal PCI, we can replace the old stuff in a jiffy. Running mixed slots again might be a pain, though.
I think the PDA market may be in for a choke too. For the price of the newest shiniest PDA, I can get a used notebook laptop which - while being not that great compared to newer laptops - is still more useful than a PDA. Granted, a bit bigger, but some of those notebook laptops are pretty small. I had an Acer TravelMate 312T (233Mhz) that fit into my cargo-pants pocket before it got power-surged. I've also seen a Sony which is similar in dimensions.
Check out ebay sometime, you might find a deal.
I know it's been hounded a lot, but really - for a few bucks more a cheap can feel many needs.
Yes, but chances are that if you're using any of these you're at a computer.
You could probably have done almost as well with some version of these on CD-ROM. HTML would be ok, or perhaps something with a database for quick searches. The only disadvantage is not having a screen and then reference material, but perhaps a peripheral to handle this would still be a more affordable solution (USB/LCD maybe?)
Come to think of it, I haven't seen many really innovative USB2 (that's real USB2, not 1.1) devices yet, perhaps a USB powered/controlled LCD would be something useful along those lines, or is there not enough juice?
Really, if more games came out first as shareware, it's likely piracy might decrease.
Good thing about shareware include:
Test the actual gameplay
See how it runs on your hardware
Not having to shell out for duds
Bugfixes to pre-release shareware can help final releases be more stable
In many games, it should be hard to make a shareware copy. Just clip the game after X levels/scenes/items etc, and you've got a nice demo. Shareware could also be nice for hardware reviews, I seem to remember various hardware being tested on shareware versions of doom, etc - which provided a nicer "reality" benchmark than today's crackable Futuremark, etc
I'm wondering how exactly filesystem-based version-control would work? Would that mean that a versioned backup of each file is made, or have it optional as to which files are backed up.
The only version control I've used is MS SourceSafe (insert boos and hisses here, no I don't like it) and also when editing COBOL files on a VAX. Now, it seems to me that the versioning was a property of the VAX and not the editor (as it automatically incremented versions with up to 2 backups) regardless of editor, and/or implemented the newest version on an edit.
Why would you bias yourself (and waste a LOT of time) by poring over someone's code before writing your own?
Morover, if you can't see somebody else's code - how do you know it's theirs? If somebody managed to *snip* windows code and use it for something in linux (say Wine), how would we know - since the code is not public.
I'm sorry, but you can't have it both ways. If you expect me not to accidentally use something of yours in my own product, at least let me know what it is I'm not supposed to use (aside from anything obvious like (c) 1801 Caldera )
I do know that the parent is a +1 funny, however...
Kazaa and the continual battle on the internet is more of a local problem (given the amount of/. users who seem to be N. American or otherwise in pan-European countries of similar law). I can, through lobbying politicians and/or fighting back in whichever way I can, do more about the local Kazaa problem than I can China's sometimes oft abuse of its own citizens.
This isn't to say we aren't affected by what happens in China, it's just that there's more we can do about the local issue.
Fight the battles you can win. And, it's hard to fight the war abroad when enemy tanks are rolling towards your hometown.
However, that's not to say that we don't have an impact. The more the US (supposed haven of free-speech and general freedom) and other countries are oppressed, the greater contribution to world oppression. As the world becomes more globalized, people in oppressed countries see more of what they could have, and will fight for it.
As geeks, we can still do things like building apps to circumvent the "Great Firewall fo China", or to increase global communication. Uniting the people of the world is what is going to make us all get along better - and while Kazaa isn't necessarily a big player in this, the laws aimed against it are targetting this ideal as a whole.
May not be my friend, but can be my ally in a common cause.
One thing that we can trust is that Microsoft - or any large corp - will do many things to further their own interests. In this case, SPAM is not only a pain in our respective butts, but also those at MS. I'm sure that MS - having a long standing domain name - is probably spammed on a regular basis.
Evil is a subjective definition. MS is out to profit, and that's not really going to change, but sometimes they can profit in ways that are mutually beneficial.
I can support the "enemy of my enemy" in one way, without necessarily supporting everything they do. If two bullies pick on me, and one day bully (a) picks on bully (b) - well it's to my benefit to see that (b) gets a good thrashing.
SCO won't let people see the contested source code without signing an outrageous NDA but the article gives a mechanism for publishing appropriate MD5 checksums which allow code trees to be compared without anyone else seeing the code.
However, the point is that SCO is claiming that their code has already been released (unauthorized) into the wild. This means that anyone who can read the linux kernel code can also view the (supposed) SCO code as well, because it is (supposedly) in the linux kernel. While the fact that SCO won't likely even support the MD5 summing method (which wouldn't work very well if the code is only "similar" as opposed to "identical") is more damning to them, even describing *where* the two equivilent chunks of code are will not hurt them anymore than they are claiming they have already been hurt.
It is sometimes a problem though. When you get an app (binary or no) that requires a ton of depends, which in turn require another ton of depends - sometimes particular versions (which in some cases newer versions break older apps).
Of course, you can keep multiple versions of the required files, but that's icky. It's somewhat like a case of DLL-hell for 'nix.
Since I use Debian, "apt" is very nice for getting missing depends, but rarely for getting up-to-date ones. Perhaps apps should ship with a text/html file linking to the common required depends (i.e. the ones that are likely to be missing). Nothing more annoying that upgrading from an older app to a new bugfix only to find that the bugfix wants a more recent version of GCC or Glibc
Why should money be wasted on Microsoft licenses when it could be spend on something more useful? Maybe even education.
Usually, the IT budget is seperate from the (non-IT) educational budget. Instead of funneling the money out of IT, most smart schools will use it in a more productive way.
Usually, this means that you end of having more up-to-date machines, perhaps some better peripherals, and (here's the one that surprises many) better support.
Think about this: If the hardware is more up-to-date, you have less hardware failures. Without windows, there are less viruses/etc attacking the systems. With linux, remote support can be nice and snappy (either SSH or a tunnelled X11 session), with sometimes almost immediate support. Thin clients or remote desktops can allow for nice "demos" of new programs, with a presenter showing to many different users from a centralized location.
And yes, this is all possible, and all being done in fact. I've seen it. Don't renew those MS licenses, you've got much better places to put your budget money!
Well, seeing how much of a pain in the ass I once found using an NTFS drive when trying to boot from disk - or share partition space - I'm not sure I'll like this one much either. FAT32 can be a pig at times, but with mostly-large files anyhow, and a big drive it doesn't affect me much.
Now, making a whole partition unavailable to my "legacy OS" is a real pain. Win98, which up to awhile ago was still the only thing that worked with my old apps... though XP is functional now with new drivers, but not perfect.
And, oops, virus, screwed up windows, whatever... boot disk no workie with NTFS, it's a pain. I think I'll stick with FAT32...
My old OS can still play with it, I know it doesn't have any unexpected glitches, and even 'nix can mount it nicely.
However, for the future, as in a few years, maybe I'll check it out - if I even run an MS operating system by then.
Oh, and speaking of 'nix, aren't there utils to link a database into the FS to optimize searches? It's not entirely necessary to do it all the time by integrating into the FS, just do a scan+update on a periodic basis
While it seems to work well for those who are truly strong ADHD sufferers, nowadays doctors have a strong tendency towards quickly diagnosing people/children and prescribing various medications. Ritalin is a favorite, and not always the best choice.
In my younger days, I had a slight tendency towards distraction. I wasn't bouncing off the walls, nor did it actually distract me from work, but I was prescribed ritalin. Rather than improving my condition, ritalin sapped my energy and left my a basketcase through about half a year of classes.
Eventually I quit the pill, but remember as a warning that anything that messes with your body chemistry should not be taken lightly, and measure side-effects against intended effects...
I remember when a 200Mhz Mac was a thing to tell of, whilst 200Mhz PC's were getting to be crapboxes by that time. I don't think that Mhz corresponds quite well between Macs/PC's, and even nowadays 800Mhz isn't that bad on a PC anyhow.
Better yet, get a whole bunch of people together with legally burned CD's. Park your cars nearby with loud music playing, and surround his house with protestors.
Emails are too easy to delete, at the very least send a physical letter...
Maybe what you might want in this case is a "Fast IR" port/hub. I haven't seen anything much like this on PC's, but many brands of laptop have "Fast IR" (4Mbps) ports. I'm not sure what the latency on this is, but I'd imagine it might be better than WiFi. You can also build your own wireless serial adaptor, I used to have instructions for this but they are now lost.
The trick would be connecting >2 persons via IR, which I guess would require an IR-hub of some sort - but I'm not sure where one could get something that. Maybe some enterprising/. geek could think of that.
