Yes.. and what's chipset and model number again please? Your statement sounds like complete bullshit to me. Intel produces the most stable motherboards I've seen and some more people I respect agree with me on that. USB problems on high-end motherboard... Phew...
Look at this guy's site: johnstonefitness.com. He was overweight, pale and ill (as I am right now). He had balls to change himself and recorded progress every month, you literally can watch him leaning, bulking... Pretty cool.
MS Visual C++, VB#, C#, blah blah... It's not languages and form builders that make difference for RAD, but integration with other technologies built in into IDE..Net Web Services (XMLRPC/SOAP), MS SQL,.Net Web Apps and countless others. Do you see my point? Advanced language with just form building won't get you anywhere. You've got a form, what's next? And no, cross-platform isn't a key. No one cares: when you start developing the app, you know exactly what platform and what configs your customer is going to use, when doing enterprise development, of course. That's how most of us get money, not shrinkwrap apps development.
What you don't understand is that larger fans produc e much less noise with the same performance, because of much lower RPM. Compare 120mm fans used for radiators in watercooling system and 40mm fans in average 2U unit and you'll understand what I mean.
Well of course! Before IE 4 Internet Explorer was not bundled with Windows!
That's not true. It was IE 3.0 being bundled. IE 3.0 was just crap and nobody used it. Actually I used NN even when IE 4.0 was out and installed at my computer (Visual Studio 5.0 required an upgrade to 4.0). Then 5.0 is out and you guess what happened. Netscape produced just crap compared to IE 5.0. Look, we didn't even considered IE as web browser for apps etc. Primary development was done with NN. That's changed and Netscape had nobody to blame but itself. I want a good product, not some sensationalistic crap. Survival of the finest, period.
Geez.. what are you talking about? I had client/server suite written for Linux in 1995... It was superior platform (in text mode and with machines that can't run win95 yet, you've got all the stuff of 32-bit operating system). It worked for 5 years after that. Not to mention Solaris and IRIX stuff we've got before. So specialised enterprise systems were and are definitely there. The fact you don't know about them and code shit in VB doesn't mean people didn't use Unix/Linux.
hey... Netscape lost browser war because it was a crap, not because MS was anticompetetive. Hey.. before IE 4.x we all had NN installed on every machine. It was quite standard: install windows, install netscape... Simple.. Even OEMs had NN pre-installed. So if "autocompetetive" is to have a better browser as MS had with IE 4.x... hm.. that I don't know what is "competetive". Cripple own software or what? Bollocks.
Executed by another process? What are you talking about? Processes in windows cannot mess with each other address space. And no, it's not NX bit fix that makes sp2 secure (NX bit works only at AMD64 processors and above last time I checked). SP2 includes NX support but it doesn't work on majority of computers. What they did, is to randomize things and other software stack-protection techiniques built into the compiler (vs.net 2005).
Well... not bad... although I began to worry about 2-3 years ago. Terror and stuff... You know. I'm going to visit Ukraine next year - much warmer there (I'm in Siberia).
OK... Now I see what you mean. But it's quite different from SS in USA. Look - no one cares here - when you buy an appartment or house - you just go and "register"... Yes, it's kind of sucks, because it's central database. In general it's a mechanism for government-holded city companies to bill you based on how many ppl in the family. Police (Milicia) has access to these records too of course. Now you don't need "propiska" to open bank account for instance. Or to go to hospital. Or get a job. Yes.. In USSR it was much worse. I admit I was somewhat wrong, it's violation of basic human rights.
> When SSNs first came out, everybody warned about the possibility of abuse for its use as a national number similar to how the nazi's and USSR did
I don't know about nazis, but USSR didn't have any ID number. They have a passport with issued # on it. (quite standard thing for any ID I believe). It wasn't used for anything important anyway. In modern Russia they still have these passport #'s... Not used for anything important too. There was an attempt to give every citizen Tax #, but it's not mandatory. I didn't ever encountered a situation where you need one. So stop making things up please.
Well, if you'll ask me: there's absolutely no excuse to do such things. Be he super-fast hacker or not. Renaming columns, giving proper names to variables etc is just a matter of being self-organized and understanding that someone will maintain this project later. Transactions... hm... If you'll begin to use such system "live", you cannot avoid it in any project of significant size. So what you described in your post I replied to first time, is not hacking... It's just slapped together SQL code. Cannot fire.. Well.. Educate him. Seems like he's being just ignorant and likes to do things in his own (completely wrong) way. It may cost your company large amount of money later.
>I have trouble convincing people that transactions are important, that joins really should be done in the server, that they shouldn't create attributes named "value1" and "value2" just because they currently only have two
Geez, you just described completely idiotic DB developer who doesn't know how to do his stuff. In corporate world you don't need to convince much - just fire them.
> Well, at least Robby the Robot finally made it in. Now I can sleep easy at night.... Alone in your parents' basement, hugging robby the robot instead of some hot blonde. How familiar;)
How come you are not vulnerable? Windows shell code is still there, you just have to use IE to be exploited, be your default shell explorer.exe or litestep. Well, if you're using firefox, you're safe anyway.
Well.. You should look under "File -> Save As -> Web Archieve, single file (.mht)" in your IE... It was there for years... Interesting new stuff, isn't?
I'm not advocating using IE, but it's really a cool feature what allows to save entire web page with frames/images/css/js etc into a single file.
And yes, I need this option in Firefox. I don't care if it's.mht or any other technology, I just want to save entire page into single file with all functionality intact. I still have _hundred_.mhts used for quick reference etc very handy.
Just to clarify: Well, you're right about the case where you receive the file from the net (you're the owner, so you can change exec bit as you like). Your understanding doesn't apply for exec/suid apps normal user DOESN'T OWN, so user cannot change exec bit.... or generally apps certain users have access to (usually it's "games" group, and entire home directories mounted as noexec - was very common my days in university). So execure bit has its purpose for access control. And yes, it's valuable security measure. For instance I can make "runme" file with access "-xrw -x-- ----" root.apache and only "apache" group can run it, but not even read, other users don't have any access. It works the same way in windows, although it all depends on the app.

Sheesh.. It's what XMLRPC and SOAP are for. Look ma, RPC over XML via any medium (http, e-mail, ftp etc etc). And it's _widely_ supported. Would you please enlighten me why XMPP is better than SOAP?

I've meta-moderated it as "Unfair" if it'd make you feel better... These stupid meta-moderators should get what they deserve.
