Sure. But that would be quite weak protection, especially where there is little or no risk of consumer harm. I've written about the name change a couple of times but I've never found a primary source on the issue and I'm curious to hear whether or not is real. If anyone has a link to some primary source on this that would be great.
Legal issues. SSL = Name was created and owned by Netscape (now AOL/TWC). TLS = Open/free and named so it would not get into trademark issues with Netscape/AOL.
So I've heard. However, I've found no filed trademark "SSL" from Netscape. The trademark database is easily searchable.
If you want to write something highly performant C is still the preferred option. Not because C produces faster code, languages with advanced run time environments like Java are in a better position to optimize your code, but because you know exactly what is going on. In my experience, the two things you should avoid in a highly performance application are system calls and locks. In a high level language you can never be sure when a lock is taken or when a system call is fired off. In C, well, you'll have to be pretty explicit about both.
If you plan to be employed in the technology field, then you have to have a degree in computer science, engineering, math, or physics. Without a degree you will find nearly impossible to get past HR gatekeepers.
This is simply not true. It might be true in parts of the world and I suspect that the person who wrote this lives in the US, where HR seems to have a lot more power than in the rest of the world.
Being able to showcase actual work and relevant experience outweigh a college education any day of the week. At least in small and medium sized businesses most of Europe. IBM might not accept you without a degree, but who would want to work for them?
The really compelling part is that electricity stored in aluminium can be transported without any energy loss. Alumina can be found in most of the world, so if you have local access to cheap power you can create aluminium there, be it in Iceland or the Saharan desert. Then you can fill up a freighter with it and go nice and slow across the atlantic ocean and deliver it in the US or China.
I met these people last year and they talked about filling up a supertanker with Aluminium in Norway or Iceland and then having it connect to the US power grid and deliver electricity.
According to an episode of This American Life suicides often inspire other suicides except in situation where it has somehow gone wrong and has led to a gruesome death or mutilated corpse or something similar.
In Norway, where I live, there is a policy of not commenting on suicides if it can be avoided. So, whenever a random 18 year old boy or girl kills him/herself it goes without notice in the media. If a minister kills himself it is of course reported upon.
I think the media in your town has gotten it right.
What is it with this fear that someone will make a buck? It does not diminish the value of the original work, rather it ads to it. The county should focus on what their job is and if somebody actually manages to create something valuable from that - great!
I think there are uses for non-newtonian fluids. My wife's car uses such fluids to power the 4x4 drive. When there is a difference in speed on the front and back axial the fluids tense up and block, delivering power of the rear axial. A very simple and robust solutions that works fairly well.
and it leads to increased efficiency. Those people can on to fulfill other functions. This is mainly the reason we're not all farmers anymore like in the stone age.
I think this is a good thing, but I'm still baffled by people actually using it. AFAIK there is no escape hatch, no way of getting a little special component to run. Say, your app suddenly needs Stunnel, Varnish or HA-Proxy, what do you do? I'm guessing you don't want to tie the app down across two data centers. Anyone ever used App Engine that might supply us with some actual experience?
I can get an extra SIM on for my unlimited data plan for 20-25 NOK per month (~3-4 USD). I'd gladly pay that to have unlimited data on my tablet. However, I'm a bit more hesitant shelling out at least 1000 NOK (190 USD with todays currency) extra to have the 3G chips there in the first place.
The rest of the world gets Android code when Google feels like releasing it.
The open source world has TONS of excellent APIs, no sense in not using them.
What sort of APIs are your talking about? Much of what existed pre Android was software built primarily for desktop use, disregarding things like battery and memory usage and implementing a feature set far greater then what is needed on a phone - like the X window system. Nokia tried porting a true GNU system to a phone with Maemo, but it looks like it wasn't much of a success.
No. This is not a urban legend - and it IS based in law. The 1868 St. Petersburg declaration forbids the use of explosive munitions against human targets.
If I recall correctly its the same piece of legislation that bans "dum dum" bullets.
Back when I was given my training (std. mil. subscription, Norway) we where clearly told not to use our.50 M2 gun at human targets - it would be in violation with the Geneva convention. The M2 was always loaded with MP round - but I'm fairly sure you not suppose to use large calibers like that on human targets. The chances of collateral are way to big.
MySQL handles typical web load better than both Oracle and PostgreSQL. 99% reads and not to complicated queries and a lax attitude towards
MVCC (with the query cache enabled) makes MySQL run really fast.
To be a 100% sure you see everything on an old SCSI bus you reset the bus and wait 15 seconds to let the devices settle before scanning the bus. Most devices settle within a couple of seconds but some odd tape drives (or robots, I can't remember) took ages to settle after a reset.
I guess modern hardware is not that different although the 15 seconds timeout are gone.
You missed the point. The point is - as long as there is NO formal QA process the less used parts of Debian will be more or less crap. Whether or not I've used the product in the last two years is irrelevant. I, and many like me, won't use it for production as long I gotta do all the testing myself.
Now, where was the QA process described?
From Debian, if you stick with the official repositories (which is possible since they are very thorough and extensive), you are pretty much guaranteed that all your packages have passed through a standardized system where they are checked for problems, inter-dependencies, and are all compiled with the same methodology.
Where is this process described?
The reason I ask is because I've never seen one single release of Debian where the clvm package actually works. (I don't know what the current state is - I haven't used Debian for Ubuntu a couple of years).

What incompatibility? Btrfs is fully POSIX compliant.
And I'd be curious to hear what's so fantastic about NTFS.
ExFAT is designed for use on SD cards and other portable storage units that get moved around.

which is derived from the indian word "vegitarianash" meaning something akin to "bad hunter".

It fails to load in Chrome but works flawlessly in Firefox. Is somebody not eating their dogfood?

This is Bagdad 2007, that would be four or five years after Bush declared the war was over and that he'd won it.

Yeah, like that ever stopped them. Bastards.
Why on earth would you choose the only filesystem with a broken fsync() for your database partition?
