Forgive my ignorance but isn't the governments recognition of a corporation irrelevant? A freemarket can have corporations.. you would just call it an "organization", "family business", or "group working together". But it would be the exact same thing.. with or without government recognition and labeling.
It seems to me that the creation of the corporate entity is a good thing because as people come and go the company still has to maintain it's records and pay taxes. I can't imagine a non-corporate (or oganization) entity building anything complex that takes years.. Ship building, space travel, high-rise construction. They all require a large workforce, a middle management, and an upper management.. and tons of records to manage and keep.
I am open to other ideas, but cannot see how corporations can hinder a free market?
I am not an apple user but isn't Itunes for music? Why would you use your music player to sync your bookmarks? Does this work for whatever browser you have?
From what i'm reading it could have happened to a IIS box in the exact same way.. the webserver didn't do anything wrong, nor the OS. Javascript (guessing) was used to steal a session cookie. So we could say the Browser (or lack of no-script plugin) is to blame.
I get what you're saying but a lot of these things are beginner mistakes.. *face palm* learn the right way and move on.
A decent explaination about the mistake and the correct way to do it goes a long way to further their knowledge and understanding. If they refuse to learn.. to hell with em and treat their work like lepers, no need to fixate on it. Keep them out of core dev and give them little side projects to learn from.
wow, i can't even think in that kind of direction. Thank you for sharing but that does sound very unlikely. There was a part in the article talking about other private industry problems that NASA has helped with, but they don't mention Chrysler.. someone will have to research that.
"In 2003, NASA and the NHTSA wanted to research new methods for testing vehicle rollover resistance after a widely reported factory recall of Firestone tires. NASA's High Capacity Centrifuge (HCC) was the answer. Vehicles were spun, using the HCC at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center on a test platform, until inertia and centrifugal force caused them to tip. Results of that test have set standards for rollover technology development."
ah! the highlighting thing.. Why would any programmer do that? Autocompletion does not bother me when it doesn't cause delay or interpret a tab/space/return as a selection. Also windows needs built-in focus on mouseover.. i shouldn't have to click on a window first before using it.. i'm looking at you, Excel. Makes using dual monitors less useful.
You're absolutely right. I loathe walmart but i end up there atleast once or twice a month. I use to live within walking distance of a little food mart where everything was 10% higher than megastores... which was ok. I'd rather pay them than walmart.
But where i live now i have to drive no matter what.. so i've kinda been lazy and went to the only store i could see from the main road that has food. Your comment has inspired me to find a local grocery.
Preventing spoofing in the first place makes it easier to track down illegal actions, right?
I think that if it was easy and common to spoof IP addresses, the internet would be even more of a cesspool.
I think elimnating spam had to do with positive identification of the sender? Seems like it has gone down over the past few years. I would guess most servers/relays drop email that cannot be properly tracked to the origin, they could do something similar with phonecalls.
The Army/Marines goes where it is ordered to by the civilian government. There is no need to lie the to military as long as the orders are legal. He did not have a choice in going anywhere, unless he broke his oath.
It's not illegal where you are to drive without insurance? No health or home insurance are fine because that only affects yourself. But car insurance affects other people too. The insurance covers your legal liability if you destroy public property, injure someone, stuff like that.
Businesses screw you a lot more than the government. You have to choose your allegiance.. Corporate America or the Government. In this case you have to opt-in to choose the Government.
Just a guess, but i wouldn't imagine packets are measure in bits but in bytes. That's why hex is often used, right? Unless the router is using an exotic protocol, everything will be measured in bytes? Data structures are almost all in multiples of bytes.. size_of(bool) returns 1. malloc works with bytes, not bits. I'm pretty sure you will have a hard time finding anything that works directly in bits and not bytes, to include routers.
I've been fighting a battle on Ft Knox to use LAMP for the new website. Ever since i heard Whitehouse.gov was using Drupal i've been interested. Redhat, Apache, mysql, and PHP all have certificates of networthiness and are approved for purchase / download (with correct major version numbers).
The problem is coming from DOIM/NEC the post network managers. They think using PHP and mysql and especially linux would increase the surface attack area. So, i compromised for just php and ms-sql.. still having problems there. Bascially, anything non-MS and it "presents a security threat". They have such an entrenched point of view and merely carrying forward on inertia. Even if the software is DOD approved and vetted, they recoil in fear.
If you are reading this and from DOIM/NEC, don't hesitate to call 194th BDE S3 and correct me. Ask for Carnes.
Anyways, to your point. MS is receiving a disproportionate amount of tax payer money because of FUD. Talking about it might reach the right people.
I do something similar to this but in periods of acquire and slim down. I don't hoard or have too many redundant items (like people who have eight different shotguns or whatever) but what i have is usually very nice. Camping pack is nice and probably done.. lots of titanium and everything is water-proofed (including zippers).. the best part is that it's so light. I still have a backup bag fully packed too, my old army ruck. Tritium Compass (radioactive self-illumination).
My latest projects have been in mobile tech that doesn't require any infrastructure. I've been working on a solar-rechargable commo-device called the "z-day coordinator" that builds a peer-to-peer network with no required central base. The idea being that during disaster or infrastructure break down, a hand-held communication network can still operate over long distances. You can also add auxilliary wireless devices like motion-sensors (or whatever you can dream up) that join the network under your control. Allowing a small group of people to quickly deploy an electronic sensor network to detect motion, fires, gases, whatever. These devices can be very small since no interface is needed, just sensor, battery, transmitter (with MCU to talk with network). I hope to get a kit together to sell someday.../me tilts his head to the side and daydreams for a while.
oh god, talk about reasons to drink. The worst is when you check the console before bed and see it crapped out and died on the 2nd package of 400. rage!
I'm an idiot and have been attempting to replace puppy on my tablet with Gentoo. Even with distcc (distributed compiling) it is a painfully slow process. But fun:) Xorg and hal aren't getting along and i'm still mostly experienced with xf86 style configs : /
For the record, i'm only a neckbeard on long weekends and vacation time. 170 lbs at 70" (an imperial bastard). Former US Army CavScout and maybe rejoining again... maybe.

Virtualized storage? why?

Might be easier than cleaning them
ah ok, gotcha. My mistake. Yes i agree with you, it's too bad the theat of legal action is so scary. I don't blame the guy.
robots.txt just gives you advice, nobody is required to follow it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots.txt#Disadvantages
That is my understanding of the thing anyways.. maybe when it becomes a real standard they can do more with it?

Must be shipping via UPS then? Louisville KY is the UPS worldwide air hub: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldport_(UPS_air_hub)
Your comment reminded me of Battlestar Galactica.. how low-tech and no networking was the key to fighting other advanced technology.
I love his books but haven't seen any short stories yet.. thanks for the recommendation.

Nothing is stopping an aussie from buying L4D2 from Steam, correct? I would think local brick stores would be pushing this more than local gamers.

This doesn't look like Flamebait to me.

It all seems to vary from state to state.

Do you then lose points for feeding your family?
