Okay, fucking moron, let me explain something about system design to you since you are obviously fucking clueless.
No fucking system accessible to the end user should EVER issue a message to that end user under ANY circumstances which is not comprehensible to that user. ANY error message pertaining to a system condition which results from a programming error (except of course a run time failure by the underlying system itself which crashes the entire application - and even there that is the fault of the fucking OS designer and IT'S error messages should be comprehensible) should identify itself as such and direct the end user to contact the sysadmin (which in fact this message tried to do). It is better to log the actual error than bother the end user with incomprehensible garbarge.
The real problem is that these stupid Web systems are designed to CRASH when overloaded instead of failing gracefully by simply refusing to accept more connections. I don't know enough about the internal code of Apache or the HTTP protocol which mandates this, but it is FUCKING STUPID.
And anybody who excuses this piss-poor system design is a fucking moron as well...
And error codes for developers should never be visible to end users...
The bottom line is: bad design. Why people do not design these things to fail gracefully is one of the mysteries of IT. If the goddam Web server cannot handle the flood of connections, STOP ACCEPTING THEM and SAY SO! This isn't rocket science...
I got a bunch of messages from Slashdotters telling me that it means the site was Slashdotted. I KNOW that...My point was not to slam Linux but to slam the idiots who allow this sort of behavior on the part of a system which is supposedly accessible to the public.
It's entirely unacceptable. And it's common throughout the IT industry.
"An error occurred The org.apache.cocoon.www._2003.sitemap_xmap notifies that org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException says: Exception in creating Transform Handler More precisely: org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Exception in creating Transform Handler: java.lang.NullPointerException
If you need help and this information is not enough, you are invited to read the LinuxTag main page."
Well, gee, thanks for the help...
When are you fucking geek morons going to learn to write a FUCKING COMPREHENSIBLE ERROR MESSAGE!
Well, Icould point out that the article in question had to do with "why one should switch to Mozilla"... My point was exactly yours - if Opera does everything Mozilla does, why should I switch?
Amazing how often Slashdot posters forget the original article in the back and forth of posting.
warn of a new terrorist attack - then blow something up to prove it...Symantec predicts a Flash Attack and - Wallah (pardon the fake Arabic) - some hackers will produce one next week or next month...
Read the "why you should use" piece. Far as I can tell, Opera does all that (except for the space problem - and Opera allows full screen views but I rarely use that).
I didn't hear anybody say that Firebird is actually faster than Opera at displaying Web pages...
Is Firebird actually better at displaying IE-specific pages with stupid JavaScript and DOM stuff?
If it can't show pages faster or handle non-standard crap better than Opera, why should I switch?
The interesting thing to me is they're using off-lease Compaq Deskpro 4000's. Now my older machine is one of those. Red Hat 7.0 installs with no problem on it, but Red Hat 7.3, Red Hat 8.0, and Mandrake 9.0 ALL barf - can't read the partition table even when it's created by their own utilities...Somebody broke the kernel IDE handling at some point between the RH 7.0 and 7.3 releases...
in the Federal prison system or on supervised release inmates eventually. They'll start on the state level by using it on "habitual sex offenders" (i.e., anyone who jacks off to Playboy while in the joint) and eventually make it federal. If your dick gets hard, the device will communicate this "vital sign" to your parole officer and back you go into the joint... Then, of course, suspected "terrorists" (i.e., anybody who doesn't vote) will be next...
- are all pretty goddamn old. Even the people who - do web stuff are at least 30+.
BWAHAHAHAHA! 30+ is goddamn old!
Try 54, young whippersnapper...
Christ, I couldn't get a decent job for most of my IT career from 1977 to 1993. Having gone bank robber in 1993 and done eight years in prison, the odds are even worse now... Try adding a prison record on top of being over 50 and see how fast you get a job...
Age discrimination is a KNOWN problem in IT. InfoWorld has articles on it every once in a while. The same stuff - older people have valuable experience, yada yada. Nothing changes. Bill Gates won't hire anybody over 30 which is why Windows sucks, because no one there has a clue how computers are used in the real world...
- I think you'd have a pretty hard time convincing - a prison psychologist or preacher that to - counsel inmates properly, she'd have definately - needed to do hard time, because hey, how else - could she relate?
Having done eight years in the Federal pen and currently required to have mental health aftercare, I can assure you that prison psychiatrists do NOT relate and are generally ineffective at influencing inmates at all. Most prison psychs are there just to fill out paperwork to cover the BOP's ass in case someone really loses it and commits suicide or kills someone else and someone on the outside decides to sue.
Prison psychs are the bottom of the barrel of psychs in general, just like utility company lawyers are the bottom of the barrel in lawyers and prison guards are the bottom of the barrel in law enforcement.
In any event, the point should be that reformed hackers are a useful resource. While that might not translate into being given positions of TRUST, that should translate into being used (and paid) as resources in computer security.
Otherwise you might as well ban hackers from EVER owning a computer again just as I am banned from EVER owning a firearm again...AND banning hackers from ever working in the computer industry again (except maybe on non-networked machines). This is not a very intelligent approach to the problem.
But then people aren't known for intelligent solutions to any problem, so big surprise...
The lie spouted by many Linux users that Windows 9x is an unusable crap OS is something that perplexes me...
Oh really? Doesn't perplex me - I have to reboot Windows 98 five or six times a day or more. Two out of three times I try to load Opera, it loads but does not execute - worked fine before. Programs freeze up for no reason, the machine gets lost and can't even shutdown properly half the time. Windows 98 is a fucking joke! DOS with all its memory-resident program problems was more stable than this!
He implies that it functions LIKE X for remote clients, ie., it serves up screens, but not using the X protocol...
How I read it, anyway...
The screen shots are cool - reminds me of the better file managers on DOS...like PC Tools and the like. Done well enough, this would make using the console a joy...
- Name an example of how we "interfer in other - countries buisness very aggressively." You - can't.
Name an example where we DON'T interfere in other countries business very aggressively. You can't...even Tuvalu gets it! You ever hear of a little place called Vietnam? How about the Phillipines? How about virtually anywhere in Central and South America? Haiti? Cuba? Somalia? Libya? Saudi Arabia? South Africa? Fucking Antarctica?
You really don't have a clue, do you?
Is your name Rumsfeld? The guy who shook hands with Saddam in 1983 AFTER he gassed Kurds? Who sold nuclear reactors to North Korea? Who now wants to invade North Korea and take 50,000 US casualties so he can prove what a big man he is?
