Bollocks, I haven't seen a single donation without strings attached. See India, Mexico etc. He's using the foundation for the good of ol' mighty Microsoft only. Every place that threats to use O/S is visited by high officials to get the Microsoft deals back on. After that, you can have donations of the BMG foundation. And even those investments come with strings attached concerning policy (methods for birth control).
Stallman is right on, and this "journalist" doesn't quote a single thing why Stallman is actually wrong. Oooh, attacking a charity! How cruel, must be a mad man.
"Los Angeles's LAX reported more laptop losses than any other airport, about 1,200 per week. Most of the airports said they generally keep the laptops for some period of times, then destroy them if they are unclaimed."
Destroy perfectly good computers??? Why??? Just destroy the drive, at most. Come on, how stupid can you get? Put them in schools, give them out to students, sell them to another country, but for Pete's sake don't throw them on landfills.
To all developers with a problem: make your problem match our solution!
At least Sun got the idea right with the Niagara based processors. You have a problem: a high load web or database server which is inefficient. Ok, what are the problems 1) IO, 2) energy usage 2) SSL performance. Ok, here you have a CPU with many cores to make sure the IO is saturated, bold on two 2 10 Gbps NIC's and make sure it is nicely under clocked. Add crypto systems to speed up SSL (and change the crypo API in Java to make it work - whoops, almost forgot that part).
Well, that was a very direct approach to solving a problem.
Note that you can also do this pretty well when running a virtual machine that doesn't directly address memory (e.g. JVM, but many others). You may run a hell of a lot of applications in the same address space, without them ever interfering with each other (unless intended). Of course you would need protection for your data structures such as serialization and/or immutable objects. Of course, this would make you dependent on said VM.
Processes are starting to feel like second class citizens to me. They do really abstract applications well, but at the cost of a whole lot of connectivity with other running applications and services.
For most politicians, this means you must be very serious getting him, or he won't come. It definitely does not mean he's completely out of the picture. Of course, it could be true for him, I don't know Colin Powell well enough to have an educated guess at this.
If it was at 1:1 I would seriously find it an amazing feat. What we have gained in technology is easily set of by the lack of funding you would receive. Unless you can explain to the DoD the big offensive capabilities of a very large pointy stone building, of course. It's airplane-safe at least, so that's a start.
You learn or you die, you cannot combine the two. Anyway, I hope she crashes and just seriously damages the car, with the insurance company not paying out. There is no reason to wish her harm just because she (at 21 years old) makes some stupid mistakes.
Don't be stupid, of course it can. Load 42 in a register and return it. -1 for getting it completely wrong; what we need is the ultimate question to the ultimate answer.
Yup, I dub that. Everytime that I take a look at Lego nowadays I can see tons of figures and stuff, but few pieces. Of course I changed that for my nephew when I bought a very big "Lego 25 years" box of standardized Lego. There were too few "plates" though. The grey plates were excellent to build on, both for technical Lego as well as for castles and the like.
But the galaxy explorer hit the spot, no need to take out the other sets. I went right back to the time that I and my brother were building cable cars right between the stairs and the table on the opposite of the room. Of course this memory includes many crashes and half strangled adults (I won't repeat my fathers rather good humored curses here). Good times indeed.
When we are talking about users and software we are talking about the users of the libraries. Don't think web users here, think applications. Of course, if you don't do any checking you may have users that submit tricky stuff into your application. Anyway, if you are relying on the platform to do certain checks, it might very well be that applications get vulnerable pretty fast.
First of all, no solid is entirely solid. At the atomic level there are always some particles moving around (a very thin layer of "liquid" molecules with a few gassy ones on top). So a bit of sublimation will probably always happen. Some "air" moving around will help.
But beside that, it's probably the light not heating up everything at the same pace.
And "voor" is pronounced like door. "Werp" uses an "e" like in nanny (the way somebody from Texas would pronounce it). Then you have the r's which are really pronounced as the r in, well, "really". The P is really sharp as well.
OK, now try to pronounce it, it should be good for a few laughs:)
"If you become aware of such things then you are able to take a 3rd person view of yourself when such natural instincts arise and then are better able to deal with the situation with a clear head."
That's very good personal advise. But love is not something for a clear head. And that's the whole reason why these persons get into the wrong relationships, and why true nerds have less chance of getting laid.
I do think it is more the American people that are to blame. You wouldn't even vote for a president if he would have a slight blush on his face, because it doesn't look "presidential". Do you know that most people in my country wouldn't know the wife of the president? She could walk right through Amsterdam and only draw a few looks.
That said, I do think that at least Obama is to be believed when he says he wants change. Maybe that's naive, but we'll have to wait and see. Keeping the current status quo is the stupidest thing to do. It only benefits some already rich people and literally disregards all others.
When I see the circus surrounding your elections, do you really expect in depth analysis and questions? That won't hit the "whoo!" crowd. You'll have to be behind the scenes to do that kind of thing. Besides it not hitting the right brain centers, it would also be very tiring. Thinking uses lots of energy. Energy you need for looking spiffy - if you look that, you've already lost.
I could never be president, I sleep too irregular for that:) One day with eyes black from sleep deprivation and I would be mincemeat.
The part of growing up is making mistakes and learning from it. You can hardly say this is true when you put somebody away for a very long time, basically denying him his youth (or in this case, early adulthood).
If you put this person in prison for a long period of time (or even for *any* time) you ruin the rest of his life. Besides that, you remove a possibly productive person from society, which you have to take care for. Beyond that, the chances of him becoming a full fledged criminal or him staying in prison will be much larger.
Yes, these are pretty bad mistakes. Taking this up with a judge is probably a good thing to do (in the Netherlands we would probably call this overreacting already). Give him some penalty like cleaning up roads for a while, a penalty (basically telling his parents that they did a poor job) and try to get him straight. He's probably punished quite severely already, and he's very unlikely to make this mistake ever again.
Putting people in prison for such a thing is really thinking backwards.
for (unsigned int i = 0; i j; i = i + 1)// Loop counts from i to j, with increments of one {.... }
Gosh, I hope his job does not include teaching! Clearly the loop goes from 0 to j with increments of one. Moreover, the use of i should be clear from the context, and j should never have been named j. This kind of code should not be documented for the sole reason that the next programmer may actually change the code without changing the comments.
But I presume you were not typing over his actual code:)
Somehow I presume they will have a whitelist that precedes their blacklist. Our company firewall has a whitelist, so the tech team can lookup URL's like www.processexplorer.com without it being blacked out (because of the word "sex", our firewall is stupid to the limit) and www.zallmanusa.com.
They've got great, fan-less mini-itx PVR kits available for not too much money. In case you hate fans as much as I do (and don't want to spend too much $$$).
VIA has hardware acceleration for high def video in the chipsets. It'll take some time for atom to catch up, but you could wait for the eee-Desktop PC to do the same thing.

Try to take away the coffee and see what'll happen. I'll send you (or your family) flowers.

Nope, that just shows that they apply differently for big dicks.
