Has anyone read both this book and Damien Conway's book? I'd be interested in a comparison. I like the Conway book, but it's a little dense for me. Or I'm too dense for it... either way...
"Most forum software has the option to use/not use cookies (and as such sessions are passed through urls) so that shouldn't be a problem either for non-lazy coders."
Right, because there's no applications for the world wide web other then forum software.
What else would losers do for a life?
I couldn't agree more. I used to do Solaris customization and packaging for a major isp's web hosting department. (that company is no more, by the way. the black rocket apparently crashed on it's way to Iraq or something). Anyhow, we had implemented a ton of awesome stuff in Perl -- really nice code, all object oriented, easy to extend, method based stuff to add webserver instances for Iplanet from the command line. And it turned out to be a major pain in the ass, because we now had to maintain two different Perl packages, one for our own system use that we could guarantee would always have the correct configuration and our own modules installed, and one for the customers' use on the webservers. Packaging Perl for redistribution is a major pain in the ass. But that's actually another story.
I don't see anything about not being for public distribution here...

I'm gonna get modded down, but fuck it, I have karma to burn and a soapbox to stand on.
These people from mit are getting research money to spend on this rediculous piece of shit project that NO ONE will ever use. Can you imagine, a farmer in Ghana or something and he gets malaria. His first thought is "Hmm, I wonder if there's any information on the internet about this?"
I mean come on.
I mean fucking really.
But ok, I'll even give them that... let's pretend that farmers in countries where the internet connection sucks so bad that google, a site that is optimized to work on pretty much anything, is too slow... even know about the internet and have any use for it... are they going to go to the library, borrow software, take it home and install it on... oh yeah... install it on... their computer... oops... WHAT FUCKING COMPUTER?
Asshole mit people with nothing better to spend money on.
really? Do you have any more information about this? Deep Blue has extra instructions for dealing with facial expressions? Please provide some additional information -- as far as I can tell, Deep Blue is a pure chess program. The IBM technicians type in "b2 - b4" and Deep Blue responds "g7 - g5," etc. Does it have a camera? Or do the IBM techs type in "Kasparov grimaces. b4 - b5." Or are you totally full of shit?
I currently have a Clie that serves my personal information organization needs, and will do so for a long, long time. Still I lust after a new PDA, but I won't buy one until someone makes one that satisfies all these requirements:
it must really run Linux -- not some proprietary linux version that only works with software written specifically for it.
it must be open, so that I can download virtually any app and do./configure ; make ; make install and have it working
data must be stored as XML, so that I can use perl / python / whatever to manipulate the data inside the PDA and not be forced into using some other person's idea of what an interface ought to look like.
it must be able to act as a full member of a network: supporting samba, nfs, ssh, http -- you name it -- to access files and serve them.
it's got to have a good X server
the whole thing is worthless without 802.11b/g support, of course
it's got to be small enough to serve as a wallet or fit in a pocket. The current Clie footprint is about as large as I can tolerate
"explosions and skin" -- you say that like it's a bad thing. Seriously, is there anything anyone needs to know about Charlie's Angels besides explosions & skin?
I was just reading the reviews of other sites at Start Raving Normal and the sad thing is, most of these services will dissapear now. I'm pretty sure that's not what the patent system is designed to accomplish.
I get this from the article: "A set of flat codes, called Î codes, which are particularly suitable for storing web graphs (or, in general, integers with power-law distribution in a certain exponent range). The fact that these codes work well can be easily tested empirically, but we also try to provide a detailed mathematical analysis."
Maybe it's my ADD. Maybe it's my inherent dumbassedness... but I can't grok that.
So what is a web graph? How is that related to PageRank? If I download all this data, what the hell do I use it for?
you said "they do not recommend it for servers, simply because of the way portage behaves by default" --
Could you expand on that a little? I installed Gentoo and my thoughts were the opposite: for desktops, it's too much hassle, but for single one-off style servers it might be appropriate because of the easy customization.
What does portage behave by default that makes it wrong for servers? And what did you do to work around it? I ask because I'm considering Gentoo a little bit for my organization.

no, I don't remember. Could you explain? Refresh my memory? Give a link or something?
That is compelling evidence, of course... the virus was written by Microsoft. Next week they plan to release Fizzer XP Service Pack 1 which will fix those issues.
Am I misreading this chart? It shows Lockheed-Martin as the top contributor @ $13,800. I can't find anywhere that says "figures represent 100's of thousands of dollars" or "figures in millions" or anything like that.
If a Congressman can be bought for a pissant sum like $13,800 that is truly scary.
"I would like to see some Win MCSE write a.bat script that could perform half the tasks my bash/perl script foo could handle."
foo? I love that script. I agree, there's no possible way that windows can be as cool as foo.

there is NO SUCH THING as a shortage of idiots. Anyone who doubts that obviously hasn't been reading /. for very long!

that's fucking nonsense. I hope your trolling, not seriously implying that discussing differences in packaging formats is somehow wrong or divisive.
shit. I have been trolled.
