I conditionally accept your call of shenanigans on my shenanigans on his shenanigans as it was unclear whether we were restricted to the almost impossible task of a clean windows install, however I must retain my call of shenanigans on his shenanigans for that more narrow case. I also reserve the right to reinstate my full call of shenanigans on his shenanigans in the future, if such a time comes to pass that React OS manages to finish their open source reimplementation of windows XP, allowing one to compile a windows compatible operating system from scratch.
I call shenanigans on your shenanigans. Any true victim of Windows, will tell you the only way to be sure you've removed the crapware is with a fresh install of the vanilla windows. Something the GP can't do cause he didn't get one.
Take the price for replacing the engine X. Well an Engine might normally die after fifteen years (aka MTBF). The depreciation cost X/15; So if this effective engine has MTBF of 5 years. Then its depreciation is X/5; At five years it will be worth nothing while a non defective engine would be worth X - X/15*3 = X*4/5. So I'll buy your car for the normal price minus X*4/5.
As this is slashdot, this is completely pulled out of my ear. Like a coin a grandpa pulls out of your ear that only seems impressive to a five year old of moderate intelligence.
Yeah, I can design the perfect Democratic that is incorruptible. The problem is that it will be different than what we have. If its different there will be those that do not fair as well as they do under the current corrupt system. Upon recognizing this, they will fight it. Whereas the majority that would benefit don't realize that they will benefit, and won't fight for it. Plus, any such large undertaking, would require a boat load of money. It would take a legion of incorruptible Saints to do it. And by incorruptible, I mean both those that would be hailed as saints after their death who would not be abuse the money and or power, as well as the miraculous intervention of the incorrupt saints whose bodies have not decomposed after their deaths.
For a portable, not a window or wall, air conditioner? I think they start much higher than that. The window air conditioners work much better, but they wouldn't work for an interior room with out windows. The cheap portables that start at $359.10 at home depot at they can't even make 10 x 10 a room cool. To really cool a bedroom to below 80 degrees on a 90 degree day you typically need to step up to a $500 1200 BTU unit ( the BTU's aren't' comparable to any other kind of air conditioner because the heat is leaked out of the air exchange hoses).
Could you provide a description of the make and model for the air conditioners you found? I might like to pick up a couple for my condo. I haven't been able to find any of decent quality for less than 4-5 hundred. $233 sounds like a steal.
Oh yes WSDL is evil as all heck, and IMHO XSD is at the root of it. Its really not that hard to do in most languages. Usually protocols are determined and infrequently changed. But at the end of the day, creating a WSDL and a XSD type hierarchy is more work that it really needs to be. Its one of those things that takes you a couple days to figure out the first time, but after that it only takes an hour or two for the second time. And believe me talking to someone using visual studio wax poetic on the merits of SOAP is retarded. They didn't do anything and can't diagnose crap when something goes wrong, cause they never did anything in the first place.
I don't think SOAP kicks any kind of ass. We once interviewed a candidate that lectured us on why we were stupid for not accepting SOAP. Needless to say, they did not get the job.
I'm not sure we really disagree on anything, but its not impossible or too difficult to do in any language that has a library. Of course writing a library to do it, would be a PITA.
SOAP sorta sucks as you and others have pointed out, but once you have the WSDL you're set. Its not a problem making it work with different scripting languages. They all have libraries. You just load the WSDL and go.
Wow, I thought I was the only one here who though piracy was and should remain illegal. Then I got sorta burned by yahoo's music service going down. So now I hate piracy and drm (I guess that means amazon mp3 for me) . But you really shouldn't feel proud about getting karma burned. I don't consider my opinions to be for my own benefit only. I want to convince other people to see things the same way I do. So if I'm getting modded down, I'm not doing a very good job presenting the argument. You will see my posts and others that disagree with the majority getting modded up occasionally for being... well, insightful.
The whole MITM thing would raise a flag unless the attackers were close enough to the real routers for the ip address block it was hijacking. Several companies I know notice when BGP screws up and doubles their latency. They notice and complain loudly.
No, it really doesn't explain how it determines if a self signed cert is legit. Just that they will be. Thats not enough information for me to trust this scheme. Luckily Firefox's behavior is default. So only proactive idiots would install this extension. The majority of lazy idiots will still be protected by fire fox. This won't save some poor guy's e-commerce site that uses a self signed cert and doesn't want the users to be warned.
Its just a confusing statement that is full of bizarre statements. NASA scientists don't get tenure. They're employees. They really aren't overpaid at least when compared to the general population and accounting for the level of education. They also work a comparable amount to everyone else. Are you suggesting that space exploration should be done by third world countries? I think they need to make more progress forming stable governments and improving the standard of living a bit before they have enough government surplus to fund a space program. The Us is planning on returning to the moon. Its just economically infeasible to go directly to these faraway celestial bodies with human pilots with current technology. NASA does have its bureaucratic nature, but it also does produces some great science as well. In light of the bizarre nature of your post with substantial obvious factual errors, I'm not surprised it was marked as flamebait.
No, its usually repetition. Like "today on meet the press Mr X said A, B, and c which is stupid because of poltical party talking points Q and F". They really don't care to understand why Mr X said what he said they just try to stuff his words into the talking points they feel comfortable with.
I don't think it brings anything of any value to the table. Your example of the 9/11 "truth" movement just drives the point home. A crazy group of people committed to avoid any information that makes them think.
I'd say the majority of blogs are just repeating the talking points they pick up on from the established political parties. It gives the illusion of participation in the political process, but really its just an exercise in thought conditioning.
Yeah, it depends. Its getting easier every day to write software for clusters with projects like hadoop and jgroups. And as mentioned earlier in the comments, mainframes and fibre channel storage solutions aren't cheap. Obviously, I have more experience with clustering than main frames so I'm a bit biased. It just seems like the mutli-machine approach is more flexible than a big ass machine could be even with partitioning and virtual machines.
Yeah that may be a draw back to their approach,but there are also advantanges to their approach. Google is also widely distributed and tries to cut down on things like latency. Its easy to do that if you can just move 100-200 white box pc's into a local data center, more difficult if you only have five big ass mainframes to position around the world. Its easier to upgrade over time by replacing broken computers with new faster ones.
I think the example of Myspace versus facebook really convinces me that bigg ass servers arent' the right way to solve web problems. As Myspace scaled up with beefier and beefier mainframes and struggled to keep up with load. Facebook scaled out on commodity x86 servers and didn't seem to go through the same problems keeping response times. Of course that may also have to do with their facebook's choice of the LAMP stack over myspace's Coldfusion & MSSQL Server.
Dude, its the greatest tv show ever. It is still on the air in reruns on broadcast tv. It never went off. Its like just maybe one of these days I'll tune in and a new episode will come on.
Its like complaining that using a classic rock tune int he background of an add is out of touch. Some things are classic and will never be out of touch, because they are things. Things don't have hands or fingers, so how can they be out of touch? Then again are they ever in touch? Why doesn't any one ever say that? "Hey man that band is so in touch!" If something touches me it had better be my wifes hands or the mocking bird. I'll tell you something that didn't touch me, the english patient, I mean could it be any more boring? I mean why could he just freaking die already? I dated a masseuse once, And I 'll tell you this they will touch anyone except the man they're dating. They're like hand whores. When you think about it, shouldn't they be wearing some protection when they give you a massage? I mean all the touching all over other peoples boddies? Its ridiculous! How do I know what fat disgusting slob they've been giving rub downs to? And whats with the white uniforms they wear? Who wears uniforms to their work? Its not fast food, but geez even with fast food they use gloves for your food. Shouldn't they at least do that for your body? And I'll tell you one thing they are not Doctors! They may want to pretend that they know the human body, but the only education they've got was the rundown at the free clinic once a month.
Yes, yes it is. Map reduce sends redundant requests. If a machine dies, the query still succeeds. Take a look at hadoop its the same idea as google's map reduce and has been recommended by several googlers.
"I felt that the computer system should not be a closed system, we needed to have third party software developers. I could see Steve Jobs out evangelizing, and Atari was saying that if you write software for the Atari computers, we will sue you. I just thought that was foolhardy. They were from the record world, where you sue people."

You know, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
I can't find what you are referring to. I'm browsing at -1 and all I can see is a bunch of on topic stuff about 8 track players and audio cassettes. Am I blind? Could you post a link to the comment you are actually replying to?

Sort of. In this case GM is claiming their new Corvette will be better than the Mclaren. 'Cause it will be new, less of a camero, and more of a vette.
