US culture and Mexican culture have more in common than US and Chinese and India cultures.
There is a lot of US culture influence into Mexican culture, for example TV shows and movies, Christmas stuff, etc. This means that Mexican workers and managers are more likely to understand American's way of work than people from China and India.
Both countries also have almost the same timezones, so there is a big overlap in working hours. This facilitates meeting hours. No more 6 AM and 8 PM meetings.
If you have to go to visit the factory, you're only 2 to 6 hours away, not 20 hours o more.
Don't believe me, it looks like a very small company.
They sell "contact center on the cloud", telephony and IVR solutions. May be asterisk based.

One of my college professors made us to put away notebooks and everything.
He said: "Don't distract yourself by taking notes, play attention, focus on understanding, EVERYTHING you're seeing on the black(white)board is on your textbook."
It really worked well. The class subject was: "Electricity and Magnetism"
My OS classes kicked back from the past right into my mind... Even as root or it equivalent on any other OS. I think the "right" and polite behavior for root is: "You may kill any process, but you should not be able to modify the content of any process or thread that it is not your own or that you directly spawned".
Because this is actually what happens with this exploit. You insert code into the cache, that when executed it does something like jumping into some other code that does the nasty stuff. Right?
Answering myself. If the cache is altered, the CPU should rise a flag saying something has happen. I am not sure how the cache works, but I imagine the cache is a table with the address of the value it has cached in one side, and the actual value on the other.
If this is the case, who to blame depends if the compiler has any control over the cache, if the cache is hardwired. Or both!
Please pardon my ignorance, but isn't this as much linux compiler fault and it is Intel fault?
Can you as a programer, decide what goes into the cache and what not?
I think the reason for some of the most expensive hardware being difficult to use, is only an excuse to charge a lot for training and certification. The real difference between a $50 router and a $9000 router is basically expansion capability for special modules, CPU power to apply thousands of rules to filter packets and of course $8950.
If you are just going to route packets from network A to network B based on the IP address, both routers will perform just fine.
Another example are some workstation computers that justify their price by building their case of thicker metal plate just to make them heavier. You wouldn't expect expensive work stations to be light and small as the cheap ones although they have the same internal components and OS. Wouldn't you?
Of course reading Slashdot is one of the first things I do. I check for IT threats mainly.
I also read SANS Internet Storm Center.
Then email.
Once I am sure everything is OK, I further read Slashdot for more entertaining news. Then macrumors, macbytes, fark, eduo.info, lasalasdelalacran.blog.com The I go to work. (30 minute walk)
Well, it is like darwinian evolution. The survival of the fittest and evolving. If a life form (read OS) finds a good design to deal with some problem or event, why would it change a good design for an unproven new design? If BSD or any other unix is working very good, there is no need to throw it to the can and write something new. It is better to keep the good things and change what is bad or what is needed to solve new problems.
If you want to see the complete (I hope so) heritage of the unix OS take a look here: http://www.levenez.com/unix/ If you look for the MacOSX, you will find it is there, and its roots are there since 1986. Good OSes are like good wine, they get better with time. Bad ones don's live too long.
It isn't that new. This kind of technologies have years. The only thing novel about it: Now they're being used on humans. Pedigree dogs use these kind of chips to prevent their robbery since 5 years or more.
Usually one byte = 8 bits but when you transmit them, you have to keep parity check or ciclic redundancy check (CRC) an this takes some bits. So, to transmit a byte (8 bits) you need to use some extra bits (about 3).
For example: a dial-up's best speed in Kb/s is 4.5. 4.5 Kb/s x 1024 = 4608 bytes/s. 4608 bytes/s* 8 = 36864 bits/s or 36.8 Kbps But if you use 11 you get: 4608 bytes/s * 11 = 50688 or 50.6 Kbps, the best speed you can get on a 56 kbps modem.
A 256 kbps broadband connection should be: 256000 / 11 = 23272 bytes/s. 23272 / 1024 = 22.72 KB/s. Does 22.72 KB/s sound familiar for a 256 connection?
Every time there are these kind of virii and worms, my friend Edgar is happy. His job is to provide tech support and he charges for every computer he disinfects.
Actually the windows are the openings on the wall, not the glass thing on the window. Windows is related to the word wind (they let the wind come in)
Is spanish is the same: Ventana (window) comes from viento (wind). other related words:
Vents, ventilation, ventose, ventosity.
Basically it is because of its design philosophies.

It is about virus, but virus problems are a big X when talking about security.
I'm IT and here where I work (very big two letters company) 50% of the IT people at my site use Macs. We have a cocktail of machines, HP-UX, Solaris suns, Windows PC, linux servers. Macs have probed to be a very convenient system administration platform. They provide us a very stable base for administrating unix an linux boxes, because of the Mac's Unix guts, while having access to office applications like MS Office (Dohh) and mail. I personally use Apple's Mail and not MS entourage because I find the mail application nicer. Some times I regret this because I can't respond to meetings requests I receive from MS exchange.
Anyway, I think Macs are a very good tool for my work team an my self, because it is the best of two wolds. (Or the only unix OS capable of running MS Office) As stable as Linux or any other Unix, and cuter then Windows.

About the command line, I recommend you to read: Neal Stephenson's "In the beginning... was the command line" Here is a link to the book.

I have skills for Crash test dummy. (mass, inertia, etc.)
You're right. We mexicans didn't do our homework about this truck issue. This already have 2 or 3 years. (may be more)
It isn't that new. This kind of technologies have years. The only thing novel about it: Now they're being used on humans. Pedigree dogs use these kind of chips to prevent their robbery since 5 years or more.
But it doesn't count if you do it anonymously. =)

What about using "holes in the walls"
And how should we refer to "Slavery abolition and Emancipation"?
