It would actually be reduced way more than 50%...it would be reduced from hrm, 63^n ([A-Za-z0-9_]) to 37^n ([a-z0-9_]) where n is the length of the identifier and assuming letters and digits used in English and underscore are legal chars.
It seems that anyone that has their code in the Linux kernel version 2.4.13 has been personally harmed by SCO since they are (were? dunno) illegally distributing it because they have recused their ability to distribute that code under the GPL. There is probably a member of the Church of JC of LDS that fits in with that group somewhere.
You might be able to find what you're looking for on this pages's semi-rugged laptops. There are laptops from the Panasonic ToughBook CF sereis on there.
I find that the best way to force myself to not be on the net so that I can actually get some work done is to take my laptop to the Waffle House and do my work there instead.;)
They're "so-called ATAPI drives" because they reused one of the standard ATAPI signals (flush-cache) to do something else. Flush cache is meant to flush the buffer on the drive, but they implemented it to clear a drive's firmware.
Yeah, parent is informative. Just about as informative as the second paragraph of the linked article, which some people may have overlooked in the journey to mod;)
They do run OpenBSD on the servers they pay for bandwidth on. They just don't have the option of choosing the OS on the servers that they don't have direct control over (such as the www and ftp at U Alberta).
if you have any part of your operation that is O(n) you are O(n) - it's as simple as that.
Nope, you act like you know what you're talking about, but you're forgetting about a fun thing called amortization. For example, if you write a stack, and your push operation takes N operations on the Nth push (when you increase your array, and it can't be on the first push), then you can still end up with a constant push time even though not every push is constant.
I realize that the fascist Republicans do indeed control the means of voting and will probably perpetuate dominance no matter the intent of the voters, but I wasn't talking about that, nor did I relate any of my thoughts on any political matters. I was merely trying to ascertain what the parent poster's veteran friend meant. I didn't know if the vet was being cynical or was using the comparison in the more obvious manner.
I think a better analogy for you would be something like this:
design of project : design of house
programming language : materials of house
coding : putting together the house
the coding wouldn't be the foundation, it would be the putting together of the materials of the entire house. If you have a good design and materials, a slight mistake somewhere shouldn't bring down the whole house.
If I pay for bandwidth, do I get to send the people I block a bill? Wouldn't it be better for me to just terminate their computer rather than having collection agencies hounding them about it after I start metering bandwidth from IPs that I have to block? Do I get to bill them for me having to take the time to either block them manually or write/buy a program to do it for me? Also, when do I know that it's safe to unblock an IP address, or do I eventually just wall myself off from the Internet by blocking all IP addresses that attack me? It doesn't seem fair to me that they get to cause all the destruction they want without repurcussion, but I'm not allowed to defend my own property and services.
At least for worms that request a file and pass too much info, like nimda and code red (root.exe, default.ida), what would the legal response be to putting a file by that name on your server and having that file terminate a code red or nimda-infected computer? It seems to me that there wouldn't really be anything illegal about doing something like that.
Wow, ok it looks like I was mistaken. I also get no response when I try to telnet there. I also get no response from the University of Georgia computer science department's mail server. Hmm. But how does this work? It looks to me that the only effect this will have will be to anger customers because they can't receive mail from most locations. It would really suck to be a student at UGA and have ATT's service right now during registration and miss some fairly important emails that the registrar's office and others send.
It doesn't seem like this plan will affect servers like Hotmail, but rather it will only affect those mail servers that are using ATT's internet service to send outgoing mail. Rather than filtering each email, it will only let whitelisted mail servers send mail, period. If a server is on ATT's bandwidth, and it isn't on the whitelist, then it won't be able to send mail at all, so there won't be any worries about what you said. In other words, it only filters servers that are sending mail from within the ATT network, not incoming servers, and not particular users from those servers.
I was reading just the other day about how recycling phone books produces a large amount of toxic waste. I have no corroborative evidence, however.
"According to William Johnston, a researcher at the University of Texas, half a liter of toxic waste is produced while de-inking a single phone book. This is waste that would otherwise not be created if not for recycling."

Did anyone else notice the similarity between the photo of Brzezinski from that article and Bill O'Reilly?
The BSD ports systems and Gentoo's portage are very simple ways to install and uninstall software while keeping it up to date.

indeed!

Looking at the acronym for the bill, it's the ART Prevention Act. If it passes, we won't have to worry about having any quality movies to share!

I'm a little confused by the vet's statement. Did he mean that Hitler wasn't in the same league as Bush is, or the other way around?

Haven't any of you seen Men In Black??
Why would you re-rip the files, encode to mp3, then burn rather than just copying the cds? There is no further quality loss that way.
The percentage of drivers that have a car accident has actually gone down since the cell phone starting becoming widespread. Really!
(OTOH, it is possible that road rage was invented during the same period)
