Does sprint give AudioGalaxy read/write to their databases?
Our company has partners too, but they dont have access to our systems, nor us theirs. We share client lists with other vendors we work on contracts with. But to remove a client? We have to call everyone and talk to the account managers and so on and so on.
Not everything is bleep bleep and its done. You know that. It still takes a week to clear a personal check, even with all the shiny new PCs and ATMs.
You have to give telemarketers 30 days to remove you from their lists when you ask. I dont see how online spam should be different.
If you opt in, and then later opt-out, and get an e-mail 2 days later, I don't see it as some great evil. You shouldnt have opted in in the first place.
You all need to chill pushing for all these spam laws, regulating the internet is a bad thing in the end. Do you really want your real name and SSN tied to your e-mail account for the sake of ending spam? (Because thats about the only solution the government will come up with).
That's what I said. Whats involved in writing decent VB code is the same stuff involved in writing decent code in any other language. They pick up the syntax in a couple days, we assume they have the skill already.
If you dont know what object oriented means, or what a property or method is, what a database is, or other basic concepts, you dont last more than a week here. We give them a task to do, and they can either do it or not.
Too many 'professional' programmers know a language, but not how to program.
The auto industry is one that isnt suffering too badly, since it's always going to be more cost effective to make autos here than to have them shipped from overseas. Now the down economy has dealers pulling out their hair trying to sell cars in general, but thats another issue.
The profit margins in the auto industry are wide as hell. Wide enough to cover any labour costs. But lets pretend that every autoworker takes a 75% paycut tomorrow. Where does the money go? Do cars get cheaper? Or does the CEO and upper management give themselves a raise?
There needs to be a CEO salary cap, and it needs to be based on the average salary of the employees somehow. Something to make cost cutting measures like outsourcing benefit the employees, and the economy. All it benefits now is some CEO's bank account.
We're looking too. For good coders in the DC area. Knowledge of VB is a plus, but a good coder should be able to pick it up in a couple days.
The problem is, there are few good coders. The MCP+I paper-tigers that get trotted in front of me are a joke.
Programming is more than memorizing a bunch of syntax and button locations. We've been through a half dozen "university graduate programmers" who couldnt do the job.
If you're not getting hired, take a good hard look at why before you point to India or the economy. A lot of people have been booted out of the tech sector because they dont belong there.

A) You patch DirectX, and/or update some game-specific database with optimizations.
B) They already certify hardware, and qualify drivers. This is just another sticker vendors can put on the box to sell more units. (ever see "Designed for Windows 95" on anything you've owned?)
C) Windows update works. It'd be nice to use it to update games. And GameSpy can either compete or die, like any other company. They're basically just an IRC forum for peer to peer gaming.
D) No, its an optional thing. Many console games 'work' because it plays the same on every console.
And I'm not worried in the least about the Microsoft 'boogerman' stealing through my innermost thoughts while I sleep and selling me out to foreign terrorists. Thats just slashbore jibber jabber.
All this is is some new marketing gimmickry in the end. I hope it brings some good PC games, the PC gaming scene is choking on itself like the dreamcast did.
Similarly, the timing attack is e ective between two processes on the same machine and two Virtual Machines on the same computer.
Sounds like a "get out of chroot jail free" card to script kiddies. So you get a free account on some linux server somewhere, and use it as a launching point for havoc.
My fault, I meant dansguardian, not squid. It's been a long day.
Squidguard would 'work' since its spawned by squid passes the auth, but is much too slow, too 'dumb' (no PICS etc) and too awkward to configure. Any suggestions for a NTLM enabled dansguardian replacement?
Umm, no not bullshit and marketing. We had one in the office to test a few weeks ago, and are going to be selling them with our software to our clients. (We sell unix and NT based dispatching packages to police/fire/ems)
This 'mystery manufacturer' who put together the motherboard is Stratus itself, IIRC. Pretty much everything in there is custom, it's not commodity hardware in the least.
You want technical details? Call 'em and ask. It isnt like Dell.com where you order your cheap-o PC from the Customizer. You dont find the components at newegg.com. These things cost 20,000 and up.
they are calling everybody who buys a computer a theif.
No, they're saying everybody who buys a computer should help pay back what the thieves take. That's the type of altruistic governments form in socialist countries.
It's not a flame or anything, it's the same in Canada.
They just dont think it's fair that the 'victims' of theft should have to bear the cost of 'societies' problem.
Or punish everyone for the crimes of a few, depending on how you look at it.
Why would you use a proxy to watch a crummy webcast of the same game thats on channel 6 live? It's a non-issue. This is just a show of good faith to the local TV broadcasters.
TV blackouts are to prevent say a home town affiliate losing revenue airing baseball because it's on ESPN at the same time. As long as they arent broadcasting in the area of the blackout directly, then that's all they'd need to do.
The tualitin celeron 1.0A's I have in these machines played it just fine too. It's a good little workhorse of a CPU. With 256k cache, It's essentially the same as an overclocked cuMine P3.
Yes, CS is applied math, which is why I was better served switching to the pure math program.
The CS program was full of.com wannabes which is why it revolved around reteaching high school algebra to them, instead of letting them flunk out or transfer to a less trendy program.
I love and appreciate mathematics, and how it relates to CS. But spending two weeks discussing dot products in a 3rd year CS course? It was a joke.

But the dual shock controller seems to me like its going to be around for awhile.
It's a good, intuitive layout for most games.
And I dont see how we could get any more buttons on it until we evolve more fingers.
The xbox and gamecube both copied it, more or less. PC versions of it exist. It's just a matter of mapping the button indexes to the software.

All this is is some new marketing gimmickry in the end. I hope it brings some good PC games, the PC gaming scene is choking on itself like the dreamcast did.
So dont buy a gamepad.
All I want is a good controller, with a standard PS2/xbox-like layout.
I like console games.
My PC is an order of magnitude more powerful than any console.
Why do the games I like have to run on lesser hardware? Why do the games for the better hardware bore me?
Thats the conspiracy.
John Carmack invented the Quake engine to bore the living hell out of me.
Now he's going to the moon. Good for him.

Reread my post with s/squid/dansguardian.
My fault, I meant dansguardian, not squid. It's been a long day.
Squidguard would 'work' since its spawned by squid passes the auth, but is much too slow, too 'dumb' (no PICS etc) and too awkward to configure. Any suggestions for a NTLM enabled dansguardian replacement?
There's no NTLM authentication in Squid proxy either, and it makes no sense. I guarantee it would find much more use in the real world with NTLM.
I want NTLM based proxy auths so I can set up different filters for different users, (ie; my kids use the whitelist, I dont), not different machines.
Instead the best I can do is run an identd service on the client machines, and that's just doofy.
You need a translation of goatse.cx?
The message is pretty much universal, like an ambulance siren.
If you dont think AMD consulted MSFT with every step of the design process, you're nuts.
If MSFT wasnt going to support Hammer, they wouldnt have developed it.
The company names their flagship CPU line "Athlon XP" and you dont think they have very close ties inside Microsoft?
heres a link for you anyways From april of 2002. I'll even read the opening line for you.
"AMD confirmed Wednesday that it will collaborate with Microsoft to tune Windows to run on its upcoming family of Hammer chips. "
A google of "microsoft" and "hammer" should get more hits.
But Windows is a desktop OS, so there's no real reason to port it to any of those platforms. It surely could be done, but why?
Do I want the 6 foot high HP 3000 in the server room sitting on my desk? Nah, let it sit back there running MPE, or HP-UX.
Windows CE runs on some of those architectures as well.
MS was integral in designing hammer with AMD. They didn't have to 'announce' anything, it was a given.
You think AMD is betting the future of its company on linux?
Umm, no not bullshit and marketing. We had one in the office to test a few weeks ago, and are going to be selling them with our software to our clients. (We sell unix and NT based dispatching packages to police/fire/ems)

Because you're a fan of baseball in general, or moved from your home town?
And because your own team is on free-to-air TV in full motion, instead of some jerky lo-res webcast?
And because it's much cheaper than the MLB/NHL/NFL packages services like DirecTV have?
