DEV Studio is good.
If you write shit code, then you most likely wont write good code in VI/GCC on netbsd.
If anything , devstudio makes the mundane crap things easier, yeah like swapping screens, to type make, is MORE ELITE than hitting F1. You can make F1 in VI to do the same thing or the term prog. BIG DEAL.
Computers are supposed to work for us, if your 38yo and spending time doing things the 70s text way, your old sod. You dont see construction workers using ropes/pulleys and making their own bricks do you.
If you take 6months to do what good tools help you do it in 3 weeks, then your business plan is dead, your behind and someone else will get the dollars.
If the crims are making 100's of millions, spending 0.01% of counter measures is INSURANCE
hence, the drug lords of south america spend tonnes of tonnes of cash on goodies.
The best crims are never found out hence, their success and covertness.
a) buy gold b) hide in 50% legit 5% return businesses c) learn sign language d) study tonnes of tonnes of history of cold ware espianage e) never ever talk , paint a false picture to everyone including your wife/kids f) cover tracks and never park anywhere, unless you own the govt, or they owe you billions.
excuses such as; * oh its the shipping costs - $1200 per container from singapore - 10000 ipods * oh its import duty and taxes - well subtract usa taxes then * oh its a smaller market - yeah we have 5m old farts and 3m kids, leaving behind 12m real customers? of those 50% or poor phucks?
back in 1999 it was cheapr by $2000 to fly to usa and back to buy $7000 powerbooks for $3000
I cant see CFL saving much for me, i dont use lights might at all.
Bath rooms - 2-5mins max at a time Bed Room - 10 mins max at once Kitcken - thats circular CFL Lounge - rarely have the lights on, just the tv and a side table CFL or ambient colored lamp Hall - might be used often, but again its only a 40watter there
If the us military complex nsa/fema and top secret projects spend $450billion, you can bet they allocated $5b/yr * 20 yrs of effort into getting something 10x better than hubble for close range. maybe a 1m meter * 6 in a ring. When there is no limit to a budget, and no slow managers involved, you can bet the NSA (10000+ math people) and the best grads can do better.
Who knows maybe they beam down UV rays and inspect the result bouncing back or 25 ghz beams in combo with 1000 wavelengths.
3mins of my time isnt going to come up with 20 years of expertise * 10000 people.
Most likly the country you are fighting or the foreign land you are stationed in has a sensible 18yo drinking age.
But let me say, its not the RIGHT TO DRINK of that age, its the RIGHT TO BUY drinks.
In australia, and im sure in usa, its perfectly legal to drink with your parents below the 21/18 age limits. 16yos are allowed to be served alcohol at weddings, aslong as they had food and their parents approve.
The guy who directed it or write it, he was a fan of the originals, they did well in it. I thought the story was good and hard to do because of prejuduce of the old one, try to see it with a new light without bias of the old one.
1. Antarctica is a good choice 2. both together is good since predatorIII without Arny would be as good as Jurassicpark3.
Think about it, the more and more music they make, the more and more present releases have to compete with past releases especially if old releases are still damn good. Fast forward 200 years, you'll have new release competeing with 250yrs worth of old stuff. But they dont care, thats why they want to increase (C) to 10000000 years. So they make money for infinitey. Jee, I wish I had such a cushy easy job , a bit like a mafia boss really.
Maybe when ww3 starts, the masses will run for the hills to the execs giant mansions and live on their front yard.
Its an idiot who says a spec is useless. Perhaps a 400 page IBM corporate spec on a filesystem is useless, but 20-40page specs are not.
Hashing out a spec at least shows you what can be possible and what cannot, and while doing it, you may see possibilities of new features or addons and also you might realise that feature X will take damn ages. It also shows you that feature Z might ruin your whole design or be nothing more than a timewasting experiment.
There are different levels of spec design, but im not saying, go make it ultra low level. Jeez Linus, even doing a rough diagram of a gui or this process does step 1 thru 12. At least the other developers on the team can see what in hell your are going to make. Not just some 1 liner, "we're gona make a kick-ass 64bit indexed image engine/database"
How about a 200 thread level async dns resolver? Oh yeah all in your head Linus.
Heres my product spec for a better IDE in 1 line. Support basic html inside/* comments, so its damn easier to read and visually see, 100% ascii blows man. Even support IMG tags so your can BUILD in documentation thats usefull in your source.
High level specs, yes, lowlevel specs that are 5x larger than source codes, NO.
He could with his billions buy a smaller record label for 500-800mill. Then change its structure to be 100% online. And give artists 30% not 2%. And start signing up all the majors , get them all to dump the BMC/SONYs/*.*
He already has a 'movies studio' as such, dumped Disney. He has the balls and guts to stick it up em. And is friends with Bill Clinton.
In cold space, there is barely any molocules to STEAL the heat from you.
So how are you going to get cold? you wont.
You actually will get HOTTER, because of the HEAT from the sun. You need to cool down, something to take the heat (kinetic energy) away, and there isnt enough medium to do that. Thats why in cold antarctica you get cold, because there is a LOT OF AIR that steals your heat. In space, what little atoms there are, - are not enough to take the heat out. We have had this posting before, a human can survive in space because their skin is strong enough to keep the inside preasure (just dont have cuts on you). Your eyeballs wont blow up though they might dry up real real fast - so goggles will be usefull. Dont open your mouth either.
The bright side of you wont heat up that fast, it would be the same as you being on the beach or high altitude skiing. There is a maximum level of heat energy per second delivered, its not like your are at mercuries distance. As I said before , you will get hot because you wont loose heat thats why you get HOT. Even if you rotate slowly to even out exposure. So ironically, space may be -270c, but you will get damn hot because of the suns photons, so you need to cool yourself somehow using liquid nitro or something. Sure if you stayed in the dark you would slowly cool down, but not over 5minutes.
I mean people dont blow up on mount everest do they, and thats pretty damn low PSI. Your inside PSI isnt that high either, not strong enough to burst you.
How the Hell does Ronny (Bushes mate) get away with enron stealing billions from hard earning folk?
Maybe the best way to 'cheat debts' is to setup a corporate, and have it fund everything for you, then when it dies you are free. Though cant be a director of a company again.
Or just get a dual national passport and leave USAofCriminalA to Europe and live your free happy life in freedom there. Or afrika if you want it cheap - escapeartist.com
throw in a city sporting event for 100,000, or NYE events, and try parking 30,000 cars in the city and moving at the same time.
light rail works well, and busses are good too.
How else do people that loose their licence, or for medical or financial reasons cannot drive a car.
Why do 747s hold 400+ people not 3 ?
In a lot of cases, mass transit is good between POPULAR A->B points, and often your car has to stop/start for each set of lights any way. Then you spend 10minutes looking for a parking spot then walking to your point.B 5000 cars cannot park in the same block.
I still think that solar power at the personal level would help (especially during power cuts or if you fail to pay bills)
Now if every home had 5kw on their roof, and if all those office towers used semi transparent solar panels, it would be quite usefull.
I guess the key is to SPREAD the source, just like you dont eat only ONE type of food but many many types, so use many types of power sources. 5kw solar panels, small solar charges for batts/mobiles. Wind power in remote areas for homes to suplement solar power. Giant SOLAR TOWERS (read up on it) in places where other sources are difficult. Super cold water to normal temp differential. Just use the 50 methods in appropriate spaces. Especially in remote towns or tourist spots etc... The more decentralized power is the better. Big cities have to use big plants, but adding solar to each home can help. Making each device more efficient can too, like tvs/vcrs/etc.. with auto shutdown time logic (1am..6am) or IR detectors if no one is in the room etc... Combination of everything can help, but people are just too simple and one one big-bang solution. Again china might help solve it since they NEED massive amounts of power, they might get more desperate for efficiency and generation - which together with their cheap labour will make it worth while.
I wish you could get a holographic/chip ID thats says, "Safe Citizen X - threalevel 0.0000"
Yeah its damn national ID card, but at least its safe.
Speaking of ID cards, I noticed a lot damn lot of jobs need official govt approved Ids now. From anything dealing with children to anything dealing with money or public people. Hmmmm... stealth ids?
Very few people can know everything or tonnes. How many of average joes spend 10 Hrs a day reading news events , history, laws etc... and philosophy. ????? None, they spend 70% of their time working, 10% eating, 20% having fun (1% sex) leaves no time to analyze what the real world really is. Very few people can read every single newspapaer magazine and know how every persons perspectives are. ie. trying to be like a robot or god. Sure maybe a crack team of 50 in a command control centre would know better or NORAD with 50000 people. But average joe? no way, lifes too complex, back to watching Simple Life and crack open a beer and then some erotica. To know all would make you crazy - perhaps THATS WHY Politicians ARE CRAZY Mother Frackers - they are getting inteligence briefings and analysis from a team of advisers and military people - they probably are damn shit scared. Yes, - once you know more and more you, every little things makes you more paranoid than ever.
You got to trancend to the next level of conciousness and understand - dont bend over to paranoia, the paranoid only get insane and DIE. You have to switch off your emotional brain and start thinking like a computer/bot. DOnt pander to other psychos/insane poplous, do whats right and whats statistically possible as a threat vs probability.
If you want to know what real paranoia is like vs your pussy little so called imagine paranoia, go take some LSD and then come back and re-rate your daily paranoia , you will be much supprised.
To the average guy, how do you know what SANITY is if you never experienced INSANITY to compare as a reference, its like never being SAD, and always happy and you have no frame of reference.
Experience total insanity/paranoia breakdown - core dump of your mind, then come back to normal to realise - WOW this is what normal is, those little hangups and moments are just pussy/nothing so why bother being ALARMED 24/7.
- Robbie Williams believes aliens will visit in 2012, I hope they do - we need a take over from all these insane politians we have.
Your typical cop is a dude that failed maths in Grade10 and left because his daddy was a cop and was spanked real bad as a 5yold. Yes, generally cops are good guys helping us out in victim situations, but sometimes the cops become the 'crims'.
So wheres the logic, "Hey Mr can you open your bag - random search" is that difficult?
If the cop displayed a high inteligence and common sense, he would be working for 3x pay as a detective/agent - not a street Judge Dread.
