So I wrote a command-line registry editor (similar to reg.exe) in Javascript+WSH+WMI. I also used it to write a little utility that basically replicated the remote installation feature of SMS. Except mine doesn't break all the fucking time on networks that aren't always up (SMS server was separated from all the clients by a TACLANE that's only brought up as-needed).
Oh, and I wrote a DB app in Javascript that just happened to use a browser for a GUI (but there was no webserver middle-ware). Again, mostly because I loathe anything VB-related (such as VBA usually used to script Access). See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2005/7/14/13942/7643 [kuro5hin.org].
Wouldn't it be more satisfying to smash your head in with a rock than program WSH/WMI?
Not always. The guy had only one advantage in this case - time. Had the tiger been pursuing him there would be no contest, those 400 yards would have been closed fast.
Maybe if they had figured out some way of deterring people from wanting something to come over that fence. Say, by putting an extremely efficient predator behind it.
For a person who really cares about keeping your data, you sure didn't put much thought into how stupid it was to run "Windows Home Server".
For those you care, WHS got hit with a huge dataloss bug recently - one that didn't take exceptional circumstances to manifest - and microsoft didn't release a fix for many weeks.
Does RFOM/Warhawk continue when the hosting party goes offline? No. Primitive. Do above games fix exploits in maps and actively ban users who use exploits? No. Primitive. Do above games have a good ranking system outside of "everyone levels up" where your level is proportional to your skill? No. Primitive. Do the above games allow hosting parties to boot you because you're doing well (So their team has an advantage)? Yes. Primitive. Does everyone playing 40 player games have a lag free experience. Fuck no. Primitive. Do the above games offer heat maps of battles? No. Primitive. Do the above games offer online coop campaign? No. Primitive.
That's excellent news. Now when it gets some games that are worth more than two squirts of piss, I might be interested. Oh and maybe some online play that isn't wretched.
You're generalizing too much, I think. It's not a question of whether is one "for" or "against" SCR, it's whether it's going to be federally funded or not. Their personal opinions should not interfere with their presidency actions, and they shouldn't be able to control private research into SCs, etc.
At least, that's what I look for in a candidate. To each their own, though.
wrong on the Laissez-faire stuff. the auto industry _knows_ the govn't will bail them out come hard times(they've done it before, and for more than the auto industry), so they really have no incentive to actually compete.
if it were _truly_ Laissez-faire, the govn't would NOT bail companies out with cash infusions, etc.. NOR would they have substantial tariffs on imported cars, nor would oil prices be subsidized at the cost of printing money. to claim that Laissez-faire would fail in this situation is to be extremely ignorant of the definition of Laissez-faire.
This is exactly right. currently, the us subsidizes oil prices by taxing the living shit out of us. These taxes are then used to control an army that is being used to strong arm 'low' prices for us (robbing peter to pay paul). these prices aren't really that low when you check out the debt clock and each page refresh shows debt increasing by 100k. What isn't taxed from us is merely being borrowed from future generations. When it's an uncomfortable borrowing level, they just print more money.
in the end, the price is really cheaper, it's just slightly less painful for us at the pump, but such subsidizing can only go on for so long. If opec were to decided to start using the euro or some other currency starting a chain reaction of similiar events, life will be extremely miserable in the us. Our dollar will mean nothing. We could probably being like germany post wwii and use it to wall paper our walls because it will be cheaper than wallpaper.
hopefully, ron paul will be able to turn this mess around and allow us to fully experience a free market, where our money is tied to assets and we can pick and choose who we buy oil from.
p.s. sorry about the lack of punctuation, my shift key recently started acting up.
Not to mention that if you extend credit of say, $5, to any given person after they've put a CC on file....what if that CC expires? What if there is no money and it declines?
What if that person doesn't update their card or get enough money after that? Are you going to eat the $5? Pay a law firm/collection agency to recover the funds? Now take that times how many people won't pay out of your client base of millions. Can you spell "loss"?
LOL - Run a tab? Jesus that's stupid. You want them to _extend_ credit? Based on what? Happy Meal Toy assets?
Setup a bank? Are you fucking kidding? Did you realize what sort of infrastructure CC companies need to have? You don't just "set one up because we want to save some dough on MS Live".
Coal won't be cheap forever. It is artificially low because it doesn't include the price of carbon emissions; neither do our consumer goods. I'd just like to expound on this a bit, primarily because I think you didn't make the entire thing clear. The cost of coal is unfathomably higher than it appears on the surface. The energetic costs and time costs that went into it's production are almost innumerable and it would be nigh impossible to duplicate.
This is bad for three reasons:
First, as you've pointed out, the breaking down of these chemical bonds leaves their constituent elements less the energy released. An immediate concern - carbon, a greenhouse gas, is being released into the atmosphere at unprecedented levels.
Second, this is a finite supply of energy - a house of cards if you will. If we can't supplement the dwindling of this fuel once supplies start running low for a comparable price, things may not be horrific but things may never be the same again.
Third, and related to the second, select places (mid east) have much of the supply and they were unstable *before* tremendous profits started rushing in. I would venture to guess any and every war that has ever been will pale in comparison to the challenges we will see post peak-oil if something isn't done.
LOL, 30 or so in one fight. That is correct, up until you realize that you fight one guard at a time while the others stand and watch. Never before have played such a monotonous game. It was a wrectched experience and not worth the gas to drive to the store to pick it up.
It tells you the size and speed of download of all elements on the page. It gives you a dom layout. It lets you modify html, js, css on the fly! It lets you right click an element and instantly find its source. It lets you click a little symbol next to each and every css element so you can enable/disable it on the fly to see what is causing what. It lets you view inheritence of any element in terms of css...
I just thought I'd mention this, I have no vested interest in firebug outside of my own use for it to substantially decrease web-programming stress.
Then the first time you work diligently and hard to get it done, as should be expected. The second time, you should be fairly compensated by then. If not, you have not made it aware to your superiors that you expect better treatment as much as they expect diligence, or you can always work somewhere else.
Personally, I have no time for companies that don't give a flying fuck about my hard work.
I don't recall Russians actively seeking an armageddon that would fulfill a religious prophecy. The difference between USSR and Iran appears to be too far apart to draw any comparisons.
Remember that in a production environment, it's often a *lot* more important to get something back up and running than it is to find out what went wrong *before* you restart it.
Also, this is absolutely wrong. As a sysadmin your number one goal is to NOT LOSE DATA. Your number two goal should be to make sure the system isn't down. Your third goal should be to make sure no portion of the system is down. All in that order.
With a malfunctioning server posing as a server running at 100% ability, you are subjecting your self to data loss AND the perception that the system is down.
A properly configured cluster would demote failed server/service from the cluster until repromoted. If your db instance failed due to a transient disk problem, would you really want it to bounce?
If your apache server was failing due to a segfault (Either misconfigured or bad module, etc) where said module was only used on the last page (Say CURL or something for authorize.net) and it was one of ten servers in the cluster, would you want a daemon to keep bringing the service back up so 1/10 of purchasing customers would receive a page cannot be found error when their CC was being authorized?
If your mail server had misconfigured permissions on a vital directory and died when trying to write to said directory, thus rejecting the message and ultimately dying again, would you really want 1/X servers bouncing messages due to disk full? Fuck no. Let the other 9 servers handle it, that's why you have 9 more - remember?

No, No, No, you got it all wrong. It's like this:
These are sad times when passing ruffians can say "You're no fun any more", at will to (old) slashdotters.
