We live in a colour society and think when we point a camera at a target and click we take a faithful picture of it. I was wrong.
I have pictures taken from a recent concert where the camera saw one colour (blue) but the actual colour was violet, it was strange holding it up and seeing it filtered then moving it out of the way to see the real colour.
does anyone know if there are such limitations with original developed camera film, or is it just not noticed?
Hence my suggestion of finding a decent optimisation to the core of.net and improving just about everything in one go. If a few cycles can be shaved from the core message dispatcher and object marshalling code then this will be amplified many many times increasing the whole speed of the system.
Knowing about optimising registers, partitioning the stack, minimising movs, and assembly tuning in general doesn't rely on the same concepts at all.
The GP is 100% correct in its uses and you are also correct that its current use is crap.
We have abstracted ourselves far enough away and insulated ourselves so much that I think we are in danger of losing the point of fast computers.
Anyone with visual studio can get a good example of this if you see how long the immediate window takes to calculate 1+1. It might be great and super and empowers the developer to do more, but something has been lost that I feel Visual Basic classic is fast in comparison.
Finding a decent optimisation of the core.net framework would be a major benefit and you cannot do that without an implicit understanding of assembler.
Every time this kind of discussion comes up I think of Mel. Assemblers are a dying breed but their services are more than needed even today.

Hang on, whilst I might not be totally correct about the number of cameras I was not just talking about the static single image speed cameras.
Along almost every stretch of major road there are controllable video traffic cameras which relay information in real time (the police ones on masts and the others on bridges above the carriageways). It is these cameras which are being adjusted to track plates.
This reminds me of snowcrash: Out in the world beyond his yard, there are other yards with other doggies just like him. These aren't nasty dogs. They are all his friends.
The closest neighbor doggie is far away, farther than he can see. But he can hear this doggie bark sometimes, when a bad person approaches his yard. He can hear other neighbor doggies, too, a whole pack of them stretching off into the distance, in all directions. He belongs to a big pack of nice doggies.
He and the other nice doggies bark whenever a stranger comes into their yard, or even near it. The stranger doesn't hear him, but all the other doggies in the pack do. If they live nearby, they get excited. They wake up and get ready to do bad things to that stranger if he should try to come into their yard.
When a neighbor doggie barks at a stranger, pictures and sounds and smells come into his mind along with the bark. He suddenly knows what that stranger looks like. What he smells like. How he sounds. Then, if that stranger should come anywhere near his yard, he will recognize him. He will help spread the bark along to other nice doggies so that the entire pack can all be prepared to fight the stranger.
Here in the UK our traffic cameras are about to be upgraded to included license plate identification. There are probably more cameras than cars on the road. Do you think they need to put something in your car to know where you are?
Make these things into a tablet format and just add water, Its alka-selter for your car.
Plink-Plink-vroooooooom.
As for the packaging, I would be more worried about the waste of the huge foil tablet wrappers than anything (though, they would be pretty much beanie shaped, so they could be used...)
How long before lost submarines are meandering up our rivers and streams because the GPS mapping told them this was the way to go?
On a slightly more serious note, no self respecting spy submarine will emit a ping to this service ever. There is no way you would want to give your position away so freely.
I hope some of them react a little better and actually perform well. Otherwise your projects must get awfully behind having to replace all those code monkeys?
I'm all for getting devs to put their money where their mouths are but would generally do it a little more tactfully.
A good developer *is* going to be a diva, they do things specifically different to other people and your actions might actually have lost you very good developers who could have done the work very well but for the public humiliation part.
Are they sure the reason is so clearcut and simple?
We took the entire study group and displayed both Tubgirl and Goatse to them, this made them all extremely nervous. We then took one half of the group and after injecting them with a drug (not approved for humans yet) and once again shown them goatse.
The next day when we displayed goatse on the projector, only half the group were nervous.
Hypothosis 1: The drug made them forget. Hypothosis 2: The repeated viewings made them immune to the shock (O RLY?) Hypothosis 3: They were still drugged up from yesterday to care about the shock. Hypothosis 4: The drug gave them super powers. Electricity makes them stronger.
I, for one, hail our super electricity feeding super rat overlords.
Its a bloody slow train. I think it has moved only a couple of millimetres in the last years or so. If you look carefully, you can see Darl's head just looking round and his pupils are just enlarging.
In a couple of months the rabbit in the headlights look will be complete.
Surely infection potential is considered based upon whether its executable or not?
I can write "format C:\" here and be 100% certain that it would not format my drive. Same thing with Viruses, I used to keep a vault of them with none executable extensions.
If the virus is extracted by the application and forwarded for executation THEN there is a problem, not until.

I like the look and the idea of the software, but I can't find a download link to click.

This is the first article which has had me think about my breathing.
I thought I was immune to the old trolls.
I hope they get paid by LOC 'cos thats a whopping $9,202,453.99 each!
Not only that, but is the history of searches you made over 2 years ago relevant to your current searches performed today?

This kind of development makes sense.
It has been going on since communities began gathering together.
Whether it is a mining town or a fishing town or a technology town, people appreciate not wasting half their day commuting.

Boobies, extra large please.
I've found the best way to get people to look is to mark the package:
"Private and confidential"
and make sure everyone knows about it.
Its from the same school of thought as the big red button.
Sorry, there must be an error in the script.
Taco had everyone replaced with very short scripts sometime in 1999.
The file cowboyneal.sh takes up 47.3 TB!
I was under the impression that the only way to reliably detect a root-kit is to examine the system from another clean system?
ie remove the drive/devices and check them all.
