So, if a student comes with an original idea, the program won't be trained for it, they'll get a bad grade, and the idea is lost since no-one ever reads it. I'm sure the science has advanced, but I still remember the story of the military training an AI system to disern camoflaged tanks in a forest. They'd feed it pictures and trained it, some pictures just had the tree's in it, others had tanks hidden among the trees, the idea was create a system that could reduce he work load on the human operators, give them a shorter stack of satalite pics, with a much higher chance of warranting human attention. It did amazing well at first, then later fell off to 50% ( less than dumb luck ) -- it turned out that the initial pictures w/ the hidden tanks had been taken on a bright day, the ones w/o had been taken on a cloudy day -- they had trained the system to tell cloudy days, from bright. Thats the problem with these systems, since the are no hard and fast rules, you can't be 100% sure what you taught the computer.... These systems could perpuate biases and bigotry as well, esp. if trained machines are passed a long from year to year. -- But it must be true because the computer says so.
Perhaps, when the computer systems advance to the point where after training/education , they can write an essay explaining themselves, based on their own internal state, "What I think I a good sociology paper is"
Ya. This is just supesition but I'm assuming if 1 enables this in the bios, your password is then stored in bios's cmos memory and the bios then uses that to unlock the drive, to the support an autoboot feature. so the machine can boot by itself , w/o user interaction. So any computer that someone could just snatch and grab will likely autoboot and unlock the drive, and not be very good security, maybe for office desktops where maybe someone could open the case, take the drive , but not abscond with the the whole machine.
Of course, there could be a CMOS bios lock as well, and if the password is there and booting options restricted, then if one zaps the cmos via jumper, one loses the drive password, and that could work pretty well for security, Though if it send to autoboot a cd or floppy , it would be easy to get the appropiate cmos util, run it to clear the password, then steal drive password. If the bios was set to only boot the locked drive, then 1 might be able to replace the drive, maybe using 1 with exact same parameters ( if auto config is off), and boot (then steal info from cmos again) unless the bios will refuse to boot an unlocked the drive -- I mean if the bios goes to trouble of checking that the drive is locked... again just guessing but if a locked drive just returns ERR_LOCKED or whatever to any ati command then the bios might only try to unlock the drive, if its locked... so swapping drives might work.. Considering a good implementation and good user behavior , it could be good. Also if you can't lock a drive w/o the old password..
Now if the above is true, and the hacker knows the CMOS of the machine very well, then its possible that a prog could access the cmos memory lock down the cmos setting to only boot the now infected drive, put the drive password in cmos (its probably encrypted with some simple hash, but assume he or she has broken that ) , now do the drive lock, and 0wn the machine... Now the user is locked in. He or she has noticed that his computer is slower, but he can't do anything about it, and he can't boot to trusted media, because the cmos is locked, if the cmos is zapped the drive password is lost and all data is lost, he can use the machine but has to live with slowdowns as the machine is used for ddos attacks and the like.

And since they own the it all, its theirs, and they can legally crack encrypted stuff. Or try. So, ten years from now, they decrypt all the encrypted messages that they've saved of the years. He remember that new invention thats worth millions? Took us a while, but turns out we own it!
Corporate involvment in OSS is a good thing, until it's not. Hobbiest developers only implement what they're interested in. ------------------- Gee, I guess that's why it's a hobby , and not work.
The article is mostly a big gripe, and I think to some degree those issues were always be with OSS, but if they get too bad, you can always fork it. He says he still supports OSS, so that's why I'm calling a 'gripe', and not a problem, problems have solutions... If it was really a problem, I'd suggest a new license model, maybe something like a corporation crossed with a a co-op. You buy a share, and its a license to use the software, modify the software (for your own), basically everything you can do with OSS, but fork it. And vote like stockholders, the more shares, the more $$ you put it, the more your vote counts. Or, something, any way if you/are/ a corporation or something like it, then you don't need other corps as much... But, I don't think its really a problem.
They have talked about expanding the telefile system into a web file system. But, the thing that isn't said while everyone is complaining about EFile and OSS, is that not-everything is E-fileable, you still need paper.
Why? Loop-holes. Loop-hole are written to be vague and ambigous, mainly so that no-one but the people who paid for them ( via contributions ), will really know what they're for, and how to use them. Tax Professional's will learn eventually what's be allowed or not through experience, and word of mouth, and then at some point later the loop-hole when it is nearly common knowledge it is closed.
Total electronic filing, brings too much scrutity to the system, they don't even want the IRS to know really,
I think they're considering it, at least they were circa 2000, and maybe I should say they're considering the idea, based on the snails pace, but the idea would be adapt the telefile system to web, and add more forms, Telefile is 1040ez only. Don't confuse this with e-file.
BTW over efile, IRS uses gzip, and other free utils, seems open to OSS at least for their own uses, but to EFILE one needs leased line connection etc to IRS computers, it's not internet -- It may internet to turbotax hq, jacksonhewitt hq, or h&r block hq, but it's not internet, and IRS wants a known Entity they can inspect, and to know the software they use, if formating errors in returns are bad, you get warned, and if continues, and is bad enough, they treat it like a DDOS, and shut you out, forcing you to paper file (how many thousands of returns). They want to know what software is being used, mainly to classify the problems, If a contractor writes the software he could sell it to more than corporation/sender , and all could exhibit the same bug, etc. Anyway, there's actually no reason the software could not be OpenSourced, client and server, but there would still need to some corp to get a leased line, set up servers, and get checked out. This means one would probably need to charge a fee to recover costs, and that leads to the bottom of market. However, its worth noting that some of the smaller efilers, are businesses that provide it for their employees as a perk.
Of course, in the U.S. playing D&D means you can read a Chart, use a table, use a map, and maybe even draw one, and given that level of education you really should be college;-].
But, the real truth is not that D&D was the work of Satan, but that AD&D 2nd ed. was a plot to stear impressionable young people into the horrors of Accounting, or tax consultanting.
I agree: "There's only one reality and it's what I tell you." And not only could a D&D player resist indoctrination, they could possibly just role-play their indoctrination. Once you have a 'wizard' personae , just make an 'indoctrinated soldier' personae , for your dealings with superiors, and play that out, but in real-life. Then after some atrocity, they real personae tells all on 60-minutes...
It would be really funny if someone said they they've had tougher DM's than their Drill Instructor.
I can't find the instructions, but I'm thinking they used some hash based on applicant info into the URL. I mean we can assume the letter didn't contain a password? The problem is the someone thought that would be secure. The other problem is that is conceviable that someone could script and access other people's letters. If the url was something like/acceptanceletters/firstname_lastname_zipcode, you might be able to break quite a few with a dictionary attack, and ddos their education.
I don't think it unethical, but remember that if you know more about computers than your boss, then you're a hacker. It's attitude that covers ignorance: you're not stupid, they're hackers. If the scheme was as simple as above, a tech might assume, that theirs no-problem w/ checking early since there's a lack of security (no password), might even complain of lack of privacy etc, To a nontech, it was 'secret info', accessed via computer, therefore 'hacking' , therefore unethical. If there was a password needed, with a 'authorized access only' notice, and since you don't need the letter , the password is another hash based on applicant info, I guess one could argue since authorization had not/yet/ been given, one did not/yet/ have authorization, and so it was a hacking. Technically, barely....
Going to school, can be a big deal, and I can imagine a lot of 'go-getters' got burned here, wanting to get the jump on getting a house, or work in area, or just getting a good rate on air-fare etc. But, this is probably good news for some 'slacker' somewhere that will get in, because now they've made the cut...you know someone who not only wouldn't have checked a website , but won't open the letter for a month.
Ok, granted, going to Applications can be tedious. But, it is very easy to add an item to the dock, You can drag it, or if its already running, you can right click (*) and there's a menu where you can have it keep it self there. You can also just make a folder with aliases to programs and drag the folder. Basically, Apple has made it very add things to dock, and remove things from the dock, but start with about 7 things in dock. Its the Magic Number 7 +/-2 approach (**) , I remember my start menu in windows 2000 getting really big,and 3 to 4 levels deep in some places, taking the whole screen vertically, and the 2/3 horizontally, Sure its a little less mousing, and clicking, but more reading, and removing stuff from it, was sometimes impossible, so no way to trim it , and keep it under control.
Oh, and "since I was a young pup"??? Did CP/M have a start menu? Or Win 3.1 for that matter? Am I supposed to think your some old-timer, or am I supposed to think your some old-timer?
(*) Yeah right click, since your bringing you own mouse to the mac mini, bring on with more than 1 button,
and it works for ctrl-click, by default.
>Do remember they were once admirable. Imagine this happening to Linux in 2020. Yes. But it can't happen to linux. No can buy linux. Santa Cruz Operations was bought by Caldera in 2000, Caldera then renamed themselves to SCO, (Google for "caldera buys SCO" ) making them seem more longer in the tooth, than they really are.
You might consider emulation as well. Run a software 486, on a modern computer.
if (!ptr) vs ( ptr == NULL ) is more of style thing , !ptr is shorter, so efficient for the coder who is typing it in, then that explanation of style got confused with program efficiency. Also less shifted characters, 1 shifted character the ! vs 4 shifted chars.
Also, with (ptr == NULL) one can mistype and do (ptr = NULL ) instead, can't make that mistake with if (ptr) or (!ptr). Though, you can try if ( NULL == ptr ).
As far as optimization, I don't know as the negation adds a operation has the cmp to zero would, but I believe optimizations on it would be able same.
Right, this really a confirmation. Though if it had a radically new chip set, or an new OF revision, it might have been harder. Also, netbsd did this a few weeks ago, but no story. Really this is just a linux story.
"Then the two groups were given the same test, but were told that they were part of a 'team effort' and an improved score would earn the team a cash reward."
Didn't earlier research suggest cash rewards weren't that helpful? While a better score on those tests may lead to higher salaries, I think it may be too abstract as the imediate cash reward. It's possible they've compounded things, coming out with result worse than normal pressure.
I hate scroll wheels, prolonged usage gives me 'finger triggering' , and other problems. I understand that mechanically the wheel is tranlasted into button clicks. I'd rather just have 2 small triangular buttons, 1 pointing up and the other down that I could just click and hold, instead of rolling the wheel with middle finger, while keeping the others over the 2 buttons. Why isn't there a mouse like this?
>Think about it: Once you possess something, you basically have no tax burden. There is such a thing as property tax. Hmm.. Perhaps Intellectual Property Tax would be just thing, considering how much work the government does to enforce it.
And, it was common to talk about Sun's Unix, SCO's Unix ( back when really was Santa Cruz ) -- and if it were ten years ago , I could have listed five others... There also was AIX, and IRIX but since no-else made them, they could stand alone.
Anyway, Linux is so Unix sounding that all the old verbal constructions just slide over easily.
Hmm.. Transfer playlists from other ipods you own ( in addition to itunes ). In fact, if they do this, and support my original ipod, I might, very well buy one, because the original is ok for walking, but exercise at a faster rate, and it starts slinging around, and doesn't work very well -- well it works, but its too distracting for me... Basically, what I'm thinking after some initial itunes configuration, the ipods could recognize that you own both ipods, and allow computer-free , ipod only play list transfer... As my original is firewire, they could snag me, as I could see it as an add on to initial ipod, they'd complement each other, if it is firewire, I've never seen a pureflash firewire anything.
I agree, but techinally usenet is usenet, and web is web. They are both internet, but they aren't the same. So I'd say it could be argued web is outside of usenet.
Anyway, I hate the new interface, and I think it could hurt Google. If I'm looking for a technical solution I'd start with web, and if I couldn't find it there, I'd switch to groups, then sort by date.
Another thing part of the suit, is the counter suit were Berkeley claimed that AT&T had stolen their code, placing new code from BSD and putting it into AT&T's system, w/o credit. So, If SCO's code turns out to be unix code that really was BSD code in the first place, things could get very interesting.
