Considering that in some neighborhoods near checkpoints etc Palistinians are shot through the windows of their own homes without legal recourse, how long before they are targetted right through the walls?
Too bad this parent can't be modded up any more. Sad that it took a post this deep to first mention the Kernel.
MS is stuck with this bloated sprawling mess of an architecture so that the best thing that could happen to them is a ground up re-write. We'll see if in 2020 when Longinthetooth comes out if they can get it right.

Strange how the word Fundamentalist seems to be applied to those that dispense with the core doctrine of their faith, be it Islam or Christianity.
In my opinion the devil took Bush to the mountain top...and he said yes. 2000 years ago Christ rejected greed, power and dominion to serve humbly. Our president when asked says his only mistake in his adult life was trading Sammy Sosa. troll Sickening that no part of being a drunk driving, draft dodging, C student, womanizing, coke snorting, trust funded brat never registered in his memory in the ooops column./troll
Cut from the same cloth, Islamic Fundamentalists spew hate and perverse interpretations of Islam.
One can only hope that the voice of peace and tolerance will erode the powers of hate and fear that predominate today...it can happen...people just need to take a chance and unclench their fists.
The second time around I came prepared. They
put me and Ice-T [who has sampled stuff from the No More Cocoons
album] in one dressing room and we got to meet and that was cool.
Now it's been documented that Tipper Gore has denied having
anything to do with the Frankenchrist trial and told the Philadelphia
Inquirer that she had nothing to do with it. Then I got a copy of the
Metro Times out of Nashville where she says she'd like to take credit
for it. So I brought it with me to the second show, which I was
shocked to invited back to and I'm convinced that neither Oprah nor
her producer realized I was the same guy until I was actually in the
room on the air. So brought it up on the air and or course she denied
it, so I pulled it out of my pocket and read it. The audience starts
hissing, except for the ones Tipper planted, and Oprah immediately
cut to a commercial and said "Oh we've all been misquoted haven't
we Jello?" So did I get to say anything more for the rest of the show?
Uh uh.

Which is why aerospace, automotive...industries all operate in mm in their designs. They save inches, pounds, ounces for items that don't matter. Gallons of gas, pounds of butter, ounces of beer.
So, can I release my genes under the GPL? Or will I have to find a different license?
To release your genes beyond their current immediate proximity of your keyboard you will need to crawl out of your basement, take a shower, put on a clean shirt, comb your hair...initiate License request
"Hey baby, what's your sign?"
Repeat until license request is accepted...oh nevermind
Rather than getting into the metaphor of genetic algorithms and biology...get practical.
Show how a gradient method is limited when you have distinct options (fastener sizes, commodity components etc).
Show how your product has a complex design space (assuming it does and genetic algorithms are necessary versus gradient methods). If your simulations are not too expensive, map out the design space on two of the variables (payoff function as versus 2 variables).
Eliminate the political or "religious" arguement and prove how the optimum found with GA is X% better then the solution found with other methods. And X% is worth $$$'s.
This is a very good point. From my experience optimization algorithms are very powerful tools for finding weaknesses in simulations. Using genetic algorithms to optimize wings for supersonic aircraft I ran into some "interesting" solutions. The boundary layer algorithm did not do a very good job of predicting seperation so it over worked some areas of the design beyond what physically would work.
This is not to say that this is not a very powerful tool for complex design spaces. If your design space is not particularly interesting (few localized optimums) gradient methods are more intuitive and efficient.
I Googled myself and could not find it. I had a teacher relay the story to me in high school. I lived close to the site of the incident and the memory is very vivid as you can well imagine. There is a large arsenel in the vacinity of Arden Hills / Shoreview. The plane came down in the Coon Rapids area.
It may be a tough google as so many sites appear to be for veteran organizations in Minnesota and stories about events in Europe.
To a degree both the Japanese and Germans wanted to bring some of the fight to us. It would make us tie up more resources on domestic defense. Trains would require air support, factories would need to be more heavily guarded etc.
To this end the Germans disassembled a light bomber, brought it to the arctic in a sub...put it together and tried to hit a munitions facility north of Minneapolis. It ran out of fuel and crashed within 10 miles of the suspected target. Imagine the psychological impact of a heartland attack like that.
Of course there is the well known U-boat activity from Florida to Maine. People living on the coast saw many instances of ship aflame.
If I want a phone, I just want a phone that is reliable and easy to use. Not loaded with so many gadgets that I have trouble using it for the intended main function.
Hear! Hear!...just try finding one. I want a list of names/numbers, volume, quick link to voicemail and nothing more. Since there is little margin in simple and easy to use nobody appears to be "converging" in that direction. It comes down to cramming in more features.
I hope at least a few companies go for elegant simple design and high reliability. This wouldn't be leading edge, but it would appeal to many I am sure.
I agree. One of these days when I get around learning how some of the controller interfaces work and I build my next house it will be wired. Having lighting/HVAC/communications...all integrated could be very useful. If you did the controls yourself driven by cheap old laptops you wouldn't be beholden to vendors for $200 every time their 45 cent board on their device crapped. Not to mention the ability to integrate systems and have automation...its 1am and nobody has used any switches or devices in this room for over an hour...turn off lights/ turn down heat...
My college roommate would chuckle quietly to himself while reading graduate level math texts. I was no slouch myself, but Brad was in another league. To this day 16 years later my wife (we met while I lived with Brad) still refers to geek humor generically as Brad jokes...r dr r
All props to the author and review...but this one isn't going to be an up all night page turner for me.
More important I think than fixing vulnerabilities and posting patches that may or may not be adopted by users is good design. To extend on the parent's thought... if development teams learn from the flaws in their current and past designs and use those considerations to identify "good" practice and "bad" practice it is likely the end product will be better.
If posting a patch is a "hack me! hack me!" alert and there is not a means of pushing a patch out to everyone, would there be a way that security patches could be obfuscated with "enhancements" and more anonymously roled into scheduled releases?

I am impressed that you used fuck as an adjective and noun in a 13 word post. I should think you could do better adding in the verb and adverb forms.

Fortunatly since the cold war ended some of the fanaticism around sport has subsided...remember the East German female swimmers of the '70's? YIKES!!
They are designed in mm. They use english unit fasteners for servicability for all the mechanics out there.

Give each of them a slate, piece of chalk and a bench to sit on. That ought to prepare them well for the 20th century.
