they arent a company you shitstick, they are a bunch of fat bald guys that sit on their computer posting shit that all the cheap jews flock to, nothing more.
I agree.
When I first ran into XML as a method for transporting data, I asked two very fundamental questions: How does markup get applied to a database table, and why would you pay the price of 40 bytes of XML markup to deliver four bytes of integer data?
The problem with XML is that it assumes the markup and data are intertwined (thus the word "markup.") Also, it encourages the use of a general XML parser. Why write an optimized parser when you can grab a working general parser? Writing parsers is hard and expensive work.
However, a general XML parser is hugely inefficient beyond the point where anyone caring about performance even begins to think about using a general parser.
XML to deliver terabytes of data, by either marking up the data in the database itself or dynamically applying the markup on delivery of terabytes of data, is so inefficient it defies discussion. Why would anyone of any sanity even consider it? It blows my mind. Time and time again, when I bring these points up to my colleagues, they have no answer, or they are not systems programmers and say really, really uninformed systems programming things like "CPU cycles are free" or "disk space is free."
This is an ideal application for LinuxBIOS [linuxbios.org]. The article says an average of 14 minutes per flight were spent rebooting computers. Even 36 seconds per reboot is too much, and would be totally unacceptable if it were say, a navigation computer on a 737 with a hundred civilians on-board.
Nasa has an interesting project called FlightLinux [nasa.gov] specifically geared for this sort of application. Unfortunately, they have yet to release code (export restrictions), but they supposedly use LinuxBIOS for their system.
Of course, having software that never crashes (no pun intended) would be best, but it never hurts to have a system that can boot up in just a couple seconds anyway!
Is how the RIAA rolled Verizon. That was where things really started heading down the tubes - any idiot could walk into a courthouse, lodge a form with a court clerk and the process is started.
There should be a higher burden of proof - a judge should be looking over it. Or, you'll clog the court system, as is happening with the RIAA and it's 900+ subpoenas. It would also encourage them to go after the serious people (those making money through piracy) as opposed to the college kids and grandparents (who will normally just roll over instantly due to potential legal costs).
However, I don't think it's going to take them much longer to hit critical mass for "people fucked off". Then it'll start to get interesting again. No more Mickey Mouse Preservation Acts, etc then: they'll blow the goodwill the $$$ in politicians pockets bought them.
I didn't say pcs would read them. BUT, the games were definitely ripped prior to anything like modchips came out. The tested them on developer xboxes as noted here at the bottom.

Whoops, my bad! You're correct, they say it averages 36 seconds per flight now, not per reboot.

They post other vulnerabilities like BIND, not just windows advisories. Was this just a bad attempt to make a cheap shot at microsoft?
always found unpleasant when moving between languages was the keywords... so, I picked up a C book, migrated to C++, then Java, picked up PHP along the way. Everything was fairly similar with keywords and syntax, and then perl threw a monkey wrench into the mix. I've never looked at python, are there similarities
he doesnt want the fag vote anyways.
sci-fi club? wow you must be a real winner.
uh no you fucking moron, actually about 80% of slashdot is windows.
shut up, no one uses linux you hippie cocksucker. go fuck yourself. linux is nothing to microsoft.
I installed freenet for the first time and it took 10 minutes to perform the first search, kazaa takes about 3 seconds.
good, now this can help make a small dent in our $38.8 billion budget
you wouldnt need to use the as clause if you are using that as a subselect you asshat fucking turdburglar.
thanks ;)
sorry, here is a link to it
http://66.127.229.59/reveng.pdf Its a 128kb dsl line so the file will be yanked if im lagged too much :)
We? No. People that aren't morons like you? Yes.
what is the difference, the graphics look just as good as the regular X do.
that is because you are using linux, not because you are using 802.1x you stupid turd.
Down with M$, use linux!!! oops I guess that won't work here...
you get modded up for saying the truth.
I didn't say pcs would read them. BUT, the games were definitely ripped prior to anything like modchips came out. The tested them on developer xboxes as noted here at the bottom.
The same thing happened to xbox, the games were ripped for a while and then finally the modchips were made. Look where the xbox is now.
yeah the whole 20kb or so fucktard. get off your pile of shit linux computer and get on windows which requires you turds to have a decent computer.
