It was used to solve a problem with wing vibration. I wish they knew how long that actually took to run. I had my Ti-85 in college and it was painfully slow on rendering 3D graphs. Still...it was much faster than doing it by hand. Very cool.
Yeah if only we could spread the word to ppl & get them to STOP using root as the login/pw on the console. Its always nice to do some consulting & find a # prompt to make your work easier. Next step, get the ppl on the old default installs of *nix to turn off the damn open relay on sendmail. I'm tired of the spam I get tracing back to an open relay *nix system. So basically...it's capable of being more secure. Being up to the end users......we're doomed. I dual boot myself. I love both since I'm a pc gamer/admin/security admin. 1/3 Windows in my equation.
Lets see.....you may redistribute this code as long as you do not modify it in any way? Sounds like removing the right to use open source code to create a better mousetrap (so to speak). Maybe I want to use portions of it to help with a ANSII-BBS to regular term conversion for graphics....no-can-do according to the GPL.
and those who feel the compelling need to post anonymously. I'm pointing out it's a THIRD dupe and a week late. It's also the first time I've ever posted about a dupe. So avoid your need to post as AC to first time ppl doing a pet peeve of yours.
I have no idea what he's saying but from the exclamation marks it seems the Germans think it's bad too;)

I agree. I haven't purchased a cd in about 2 years. I have no source of hearing new material now that the majority of radio stations are owned by conglomerates like Clearwater who pick about 20 songs & tell the dj's to play them til the listeners throw up. I used to purchase about 4-6 cd's per month when I kept finding good stuff on p2p I hadn't heard before.
Or in the case of Jurassic Park 3 where about 2 sentences in the book are used in the movie. It's not even the same characters in the movie. You can read the book (one of the best I've read) and seeing the movie will not have ruined anything for you. Trust me.
Oh yeah my point...someone had to write an entire script for this movie. About all that was taken from the book was the fact there are dinosaurs on an island. I really wish they had at least put in the cameleon dinosaurs in the movie.
That's absolutely true. After what happened with the Columbia, NASA really needs to boost public support for their programs. People see the 2 shuttle disasters that have occured as being the bulk of what they accomplished, and that is just wrong.
And of course, I'm not saying what happened isn't tragic. But people dont understand that many astronauts understand that disaster is a possibility, and they're willing to take that chance in the pursuit of the Greater Understanding.
NASA really has to get the PR machine in motion
I totally agree. Its not like all other forms of transportation don't kill people. We just had a ship explode yesterday in the ocean. The Titanic sank long ago. Does that mean we should stop using them & go back to the drawing board for safer ships?
perceive themselves to not have any *choice* but to trust the Microsoft Corporation. Are you saying you think Microsoft puts code in with code that can be misused on purpose? Thats like me saying the security update I had to do for mutt yesterday (which, by the way, was a fix for a way to run arbitrary code via a "carefully crafted email on Linux") was done on purpose to put a backdoor in Linux.
The simple truth is this. Coders are human. I myself do some coding on the side for Linux. If I make something that uses sockets to check for updates of whatever & someone finds a way to make it do something malicious it does not mean I did it on purpose. The problem is I work from my home in my spare time with no budget. I don't have anyone checking for security holes. I do make my code available on the internet via GNU license agreements. My current project is a mud client for Linux for Majormud. If someone finds a hole I'll fix it. I wouldn't recommend assuming because someone codes for *nix that they don't accidentally code in security risks though.
For the one who mentioned (sarcastically) that they did chmod +x as root, thats not the only way to use malicious code. What if my script is manipulated in a way to do DDOS telnet attempts? That does NOT require root access.
Same thing we launched all the first X planes with. For test flights you don't build a fully operational fighter jet. You test the engine in a small frame.
Nods it looked like sparks and then suddenly this giant spark flew off & stayed illuminated. I couldn't get the digital camera to focus on the sparks but it snapped just as the big piece fell off in parallel just before Dallas.
Nods. And the most depressing part is I was unemployed when it happened & I'm STILL unemployed. The year just flew by for me and this even seems like it was a very short time ago.
I was out waiting on it to enter & was taking pictures as it flew over my house in central TX. I didn't know what I had caught on film until I watched it break up on the horizon. I went inside & looked at the pictures and I caught it with the first visible piece seperating. NASA was quite interested in it when I emailed it to them. They made a couple of phone calls to get my exact location, direction of the photograph, and even called a couple of months later with a thank you follow up. Apparently it helped them find that big piece that landed near Dallas.
I had to have my pet rock put to sleep after it kept attacking people. Most people didn't believe me when I told them I didn't throw it, it jumped out of my hand.
Why do people on here think that is the only way for a virus to spread? The vulnerabilites I've patched on Linux had nothing to do with email. Most of the time it was an exploit run from the remote end to gain access to the system.
If you run an insecure OS you should patch your system
There is no such thing as a secure system. If you can get into it, so can someone else.
Plus, also the likelyhood that whoever did this will be publicly revered and hated (not liked) by the Open Source community, and blacklisted from getting a programming job anywhere else in the world, most likely for life?
Doesn't matter. The programming jobs went to India already.
we have people in their 30's, born and raised on emerging technologies, and not only work in technology but LIVE it Raises hand....*sigh*. I'm trying to switch fields and I keep getting the same old "with your past experience we feel you would leave our company as soon as another computer job is available".
Other than that, I don't begrudge it when foreign workers do things better than Americans
If they're doing it so much better then why are companies like Dell bringing support back to the U.S. because so many customers couldn't understand tech support? India denies it. How about the companies who can't get their I.T. dept to be productive because some guy overseas is reading from a script when they have pc problems? How about the fact I lost my home & my credit will be shot to hell til I'm 40?

yeah...but we read about it 2 yrs ago, last week, and again today....laugh. The later of the 2 are definitely dupes.

The Lost World. You know what i meant. And yes the book came out WAY before the movie.

I dunno yet. I just emailed it to him & posted I sent it to him...heh.

Done. Thanks for hosting it.

Whats a good hosting site that can handle /.? Yahoo thing only allows a little traffic/day.
