What is this obsession with shoving stuff into space? There are already so many satellites in orbit that we'll soon be at a critical point of so much space debris flying around that it'll be self generating and dangerous for humans to venture there especially if this idiotic idea of microsatellites takes off (pun intended). As for deep space - until someone invents a serious much faster and practical competitor to the chemical rocket we ain't going anywhere and thats only going to happen if the laws of physics suddenly open up in unexpected ways. I know a lot of people dream of a Star Trek like world, but I'm afraid its just TV kids, reality is another ball game entirely.
I wonder if having to keep tabs on all these TLDs that seem to be created by anyone who fancies it is putting a heirarchical system designed to accomodate at first only a few (then expanded to a few hundred for country domains) under strain at the root server level? Sure technology advances, but the design hasn't really changed and I wonder if its still suited.
There are some fundamental things a language needs to be able to do to be seen as a serious replacement to C or C++ which is what Go is aiming for. And one of those things is being able to dynamically load shared object files. This is not up for debate.
"But spending Sunday afternoon on your computer arguing with the internet"
An ironic comment given you're the one who seems to be checking constantly all his old threads and reply after a couple of hours whereas I check once every one or 2 days. You're coming across as a bit desperate, but hey, go smoke some pot and pay your girlfriend for some sex. Perhaps you can convince yourself you have a life.
Sad little people says the pot smoking whore loving loser. You nederlanders certainly have a sense of humour , even if you have fuck all else going for you and your sad teeny weeny country.
... on linux, then I won't be using it on Linux and would recommend others don't either. Google may think its sandbox code is perfect with no possible exploits but I don't intend to test out the veracity of their naive belief for them on my systems.
"As you can see, I am not a "sorry little loser". "
So you say. More than likely you're a functioning pothead just holding on like a lot of functioning alcoholics. And the common trait of both is that neither recognise they have a problem.
"We ruin their lives,"
They ruin their own lives. No one is forcing them to smoke weed.
For sanity read: "The way potheads like me want them to be so we can buy and smoke our sorry little losers narcotic without being bothered by the police".
If all you want is a quick solution to a problem then obviously online resources are far more convenient than flicking through the index of a book. However if you need to learn something from scratch you often really have to READ a lot about it first in a linear manner, and in that situation IMO a book is a lot more user friendly than scrolling around in a browser or pdf reader. But each to their own.
Seriously? I guess it depends on what part of tech you're involved in. My Stevens advanced unix programming book is almost as relevant now as it was back in the mid 90s when I bought it.
"And VM guests can't break out of the hypervisor... Oh wait, they can, if the hypervisor is buggy."
Thats because VMs arn't really virtual - most of the VMs code runs for real on the real hardware and the hypervisor simply prevents them from accessing things they shouldn't and timeslicing with other VMs.
... if you're part of it because even if somehow the simulations software and hardware allowed you to peer outside you could never leave because your existence will have no meaning outside of it. Its like trying to take pacman out of its game - you wouldn't get pacman, you'd get a small amount of electricity that was the representation of the character in the computer hardware at the time you did it. And outside the computer the information states the electricity represented have no meaning and do nothing.
Where Apple leads they follow, its a bit tragic really. You'd think a company as large as Samsung could come up with original ideas that DONT affect functionality. Yes they had edge, but thats just a gimmick rather than something genuinely useful.
Lets see how much the next Samsung Wireless Headphones cost. Which incidentaly will probably be incompatible with every other phone.
CO2 absords and re-remits IR - which would otherwise escaped from the atmosphere - in a random direction (ie scattering it) therefore heating the atmosphere up. The physics is not up for debate.
Obviously its just going through a natural climate cycle however, that temperature obviously has nothing to do with its atmosphere being composed of CO2. [/sarcasm]
And before anyone says its simply because its closer to the sun, Mercury is even closer than Venus yet its colder.
The power supply is analogue you clown and so are the video and audio feeds. As for the digital side - yes I doubt the local TV repairman would be too well versed with figuring out logic errors on a 6510 busline, but he could easily sort a blown electrolytic.

Yeah, and Elvis is the man running all the dealing.
You should cut down on it, the delusions have started already.
Can't say I'm surprised. One of them is probably your girlfriend.
"As someone who lives in the Netherlands I see nothing sad about people enjoying a recreational joint."
You probably also see nothing sad about whores standing in a shop window either.
The number who would support legalising it is not the same as the number who smoke it.
You've heard of the setuid permissions bit, right? You'll find that the sandbox is owned by root with 4755 permissions. You figure out the rest.
... on linux, then I won't be using it on Linux and would recommend others don't either. Google may think its sandbox code is perfect with no possible exploits but I don't intend to test out the veracity of their naive belief for them on my systems.
You wish. Thats just a number you plucked out your backside to justify your sad little habit.
And even if it were true, I suspect a similar number of people would happily see lynching brought back. It doesn't necessarily make it right.

Sadly you're probably right. And for "revolutionising the industry" read: reinventing the wheel - badly.

She sounds like she's enjoying herself. and has a lovely voice. Who says woman are kept out of computing by men? They were some of the early pioneers.
