Yeah, its sort of a shame that its not open source so people could see the complexity and work to improve it. I can't begin to imagine the crazy things people would say if the linux scheduler wasn't open. Is there a low latency open source protocol that could be adapted?
We just have a small dorm fridge at work and don't do a good job of coordinating soda purchases. So sometimes there isn't enough room in the fridge. That having being said, I am the odd ball that prefers my soda at room temperature, so I always leave some out as well.
A coworker bought one a year ago, again claiming it was the most reliable thing ever. It overheated and died within a month. Under warentee, he returned it for another one. That one summarily died at the hands of a 12 oz can of coke, falling from a shelf on his desk spitting the plastic case. The thrid one seems to be working ok though, and he's decided to stop storing cans of coke on the shelf.
Isn't visio part of the office extremely/ultimately/enterprise version? I'm sure the activation of the product considers it a part of office. So from that perspective, You can't download any updates until the entire office family is activated. Sort of stupid, but most likely not that big of an issue to legitimate users.
Yeah... um about that. As strange as I 'normally' act, I think I'm going to have to start making contributions to Daley's reelection campaign to keep myself out of trouble. I wonder if they have change for a fiver.
That is the crux of Microsoft's assertion that they are not required to follow GPL3, if customers had bought the SUSE licenses from them at a time that all of the code was GPL2. Its a bit trickier, because they can then exchange the licenses for GPL 3 software from novel. Basically I think the whole thing is a logical paradox, that doesn't really have a right answer.
You laugh, but there is a difference between knowing which topics people search for and consequently which one they go to when presented with a list of sites related to that topic, and knowing the sites people go to directly and how often they do it.
I think we can find a government contractor that will put Mr. Dobbs in a position to roll, however due to this month's annual red tape increase, we might have to form a committee to discuss the appointment of those that will oversee the bidding procedure of the swiss banks that will reroute the deferred compensation from the winning contractor to the appropriately untraceable accounts. The whole process might realistically be completed in 50 years or so, which may seem like a long time, but rest assured the contract accrual process will continue regardless of any death of Mr Dobbs. We know thats what he would have wanted.
Thats why I had to learn advanced excel. The owner of the company, an ex engineer wanted me to check his complex calcuations in excel. It would have been much easier to just do it in mathemeatica or tk solver, but I had to prove him wrong using tools he understood. Luckely, he only ever used the Mac versions of Office, which is probably not affected. But I don't work for that company anymore in anycase
They like crushing the little people. Its probably worth it in their eyes to wrest control over their distribution stream back. However, there more or less screwed as everybody and their grandma have ipods. Switching to WMA or any other drm that is incompatible with ipods would just push more people towards piracy, and, or to bands on labels that stick with Apple.
Don't we know enough already to steer clear of any article that starts with "15 things..." or "10 great ways..."?:-)
maybe. If you could, I don't know, make a list of the 10 or 15 reasons why we should steer clear of any article that starts with "15 things..." or "10 great ways.... Then I could be convinced.
In an airport, even things that are in a professional package are suspect. Two years ago, I was traveling with a brand new external dvd writer packed in a bag. I took it out and put it in the tray like they ask you to. They stopped the line for a good 20 minutes x-raying it swabbing it and running some tests. I complied with them fully trying to explain what it was and why I had it. I kept my cool and patiently waited, before they came to the conclusion that it wasn't a threat and let me take it.
I think if she had explained to them what it was, we wouldn't have even heard about it. If they don't ask here what the electronic thing is they aren't doing their job. If a terrorist were to put a bomb in a professional package, they would have been stopped at security like I was. I agree it wouldn't make sense for a real terrorist to put the bomb on the outside, but you can't not investigate something that looks problematic, just because it looks problematic. All they were doing in this case was investigating, trying to figure out what something was. In Boston, they had plenty of time to examine the devices to determine what they are and asses the threat ( or complete lack thereof) they posed.
I apologize, I got that backwards. What I meant was that they kept Differential Crypto secret. FYI, I have *tried* to cryptanalyze DES, not very sucessful
You know, the NSA is much more established the google. They knew about the insecurity of DES encryption for DECADES before anyone else did. They even convinced IBM to keep quiet about it when they found out. I'm quite sure anything Google could do they are already doing in some cases ( albeit to non US citizens, except when directed to by the executive branch).
dig up the casket, riddle corpse with silver bullets, stab through heart with a crusifix, pour salt down its throat, cut off its head, and re bury it with a hunk of kyrptonite. Just in case it turned into a werewolf, vampire, authentic or movie zombie, or superman.
Don't stop there. Make the teeth self cleaning. using a dremel is going to be close to just using a soniccare. It takes time and effort. Sure I do it everyday, but think of what I could do If I didn't have to spend all of that time. I think I might have to wait for nano-bots to continuously clean my teeth, powering themselves from the sugar I intake( while depriving any pathogens of that resource).
It ended with a public radio broadcast of the emperor proclaiming himself to not be a God, and to end the war. If he doesn't do that, the war wouldn't have ended. So basically, what we needed was Saddam to surrender and tell everyone to stop fighting. I guess if Osama said that now, it might work,but there are so many factions now that it wouldn't immediately end the war.
If they want to make money the should spam and sell privacy info.
That seems to make more money these days. And as the lead developers of the mail program, they should have an easy time bypassing any anti-spam filters built in, and include a root kit to mine for more valuable personal information.
You could have made the same argument against including SMP a few years ago. And look, now ~90% of PCs (thats personal computers, for you me grandma and the king of Tahiti) have multiple processors. We don't know the direction computers are going to take in the future, but a lot of previous high end server stuff has trickled down into the consumer level hardware.
First, he was credited with the inspiration behind the cfs changes(RTFA), second its the freaking GPL. No attribution legally required.
If you want your name to be forever attached with code you wrote, choose a different license that requires that. Then you can be upset and do something if someone doesn't give you credit.
Introducing the EGPL (Egotistical Gnu Public License). just like GPL3, but attribution required for every line & change to file including comments. If you remove code, that too must be attributed in the file. Attributes will be represented in comments, but they can not be removed. They can be moved, however, provided sufficient attribution is made for the person moving the attributions.
they took some bsd/gpl dual licensed code and went GPL only with the blessings of the original author
Took other code BSD Licensed only and made it GPL against the wishes of the author.
The first case seems to be ok. Not the nicest thing to do, but perfectly legally legit. The second case I think is wrong. The license says you can't remove it, and they did. Plus the author is unwilling to additionally license it to them under GPL.

Its sort of funny that myspace is so Microsoft loving ( .NET and SQL server), but facebook the Lamp Champ is the one now partially owned by MS.

That alone should remove their monopoly.
