Since when do compile time errors and warnings reaching zero mean that there no more bugs in a program?
Most bugs are those the compiler doesnt complain about.
From experience,
Build something working,
Call it a prototype to those who want it 'clean and proper'
Call it a trial version to those who want to sell it.
Basicly, the proper way is too expensive in the short run and it will push costs up.
Just make sure that v2 is made clean and payed for by v1. (either by investors liking the trail, or actually releasing it to the market)
It needs to be an open relay, if it wass password protect or something it would be much to easy to sue an (ab)user of the open relay for the virus, how could he otherwise have known about it.
Has it really become harder for spammers to remain anonymous ?
Anyways, if it was really for spamming purposes the virus would just start open relaying.
Claiming damages over unpaid consumpion makes alot of sense when talking about material things.
(Except for the steal bread when your starving stuff)
But because no pysical material is consummed the pricing is a bit weird dont you think ?
I guess im just only a captitalist when i have a full wallet:)
I still dont get why patents can be used when the second person comes up with the invention on it self at a later time then the first person.
I believe the only legitimite use of patents would be in those cases where the idea was stolen.
They probably would have been good, but having an all new system is way too scary for most people.
Better just invent and replace them one by one.
It does take some guts to do this because people will allways whine when there favorit tool goes out the door.
As long as they have enough other things to keep them with the project, theyll probably start using your new stuff and may even like it after a while and it could catch on.
But it sounds like he was trying radicly to move away from what a lot of people think is linux.
Unless you can get a few dedicated people enthausiastic, you really have to ask yourself, can i code this within a few weeks and do i accept that it will probably fail?
Its really frustrating and have similar problem on personal projects, coding for a few weeks and then discovering that you cant get anyone interrsted and cant really complete it by myself.
Making a better platform and the like, will probably go with small easily consumed changes, evolution not revolution.
Open Source programmers seem to think they can revolutionize computing while not forming large groups like we need in the real word to get something like that done.
Yet another reason to be happy to live in Holland:)
Normally overtime pays 150/200%
and there are alot of rules surrounding being required to putting in overtime and such.
Sounds to me that they didnt save the RNG state with the ram/rom state for the resume.
You get the hi/low bet
save
pick HI
lose (50/50)
reload
pick LO
lose (50/50)
so if you ignore the chance of a win om the first try, the chance to win is 25%
so only half of the time you reload you get the value you expected.
This is ofcourse assuming that the random is equally spread, and that the rng is standalone and seeded with an outside condition like time.
rc.d doesnt detect failures in the deamons, it doesnt resolve dependencies between deamons, and more of these things.
rc.d is a step in the right direction but it isnt a solution to the whole problem set.
Too bad the link is broken:(

hmz now that i look better there is a space in your, nevermind me.
Searching problems have allways been at the core of classical AI, game playing, like chess is a large part of the field.
I think language is really way to far away for AI at the moments anyways, theres more to it than rules, theres also what we say, why and what it means.
I See your point:)
My point was only using something more powerfull when you need it, not using asm the whole way reduces the amount of problems caused by not being able to grasp the complexity.
Still exceptions in c++ can cause unbelieveble amounts of damage if not used by somebody who is serieus about using finally clauses.
Allthough ive seen few programs written in c++ that actually used exceptions in the way that you would use them in java.
I believe.NET got it right, using a highlevel language like c# for the ui and non speed critical stuff.
These kinds of languages (ie. Java and c#) are very robust, the big library of objects that are safe and no buffers too overflow.
And dropping back to c++ when you need some very optimized stuff.
Its a bit of fiddeling around but for example i'm using pieces of mmx asm from within my c# application.
Planes use their own ground based positioning systems and radar for precision stuff like landing.
A plane should get by with a ~100 metre accuracy midflight ?

Because not pleading could give you alot more jailtime.

Pretty stupid of those companies. They should have hired the guy to hack their system while in development so they could fix it.
Anyone with a few braincells that likes to have a real goverment and a real justice system should move to europe.
Maybe its time for some examples of patents that have been used to protect someone/thing that we can have a positive reaction to.

Sorry, but where does when get money to safe while in college ? No really

Your getting paid to write software, then they own that and can kill it if they like to do so. Its called a job and it sucks :)
This could ofcourse have been a single bit that failed on the medium you got your copy on.

Then you know how easy it is to set the root users home dit back to /root

If your boss tells you to write a program and you release it as open source your asking to be fired :)
