Here in New Zealand, we have "broadband DSL" charged at $0.20/Mb, and a monthly charge of $100 that gives you 500Mb. Or you can go with 128Kbs connection at $60 with a 10Gb cap, which is charged at $0.20/Mb if you go over. For 10Gb broad band it costs $1000 a month. This is what you get when you have a monopoly, nice aint it. I have wireless (from an independent company) costs me $140 a month for 256Kbps with 'unlimited' downloads (has the typical, 'excessive usage' clause, whatever that may be). The service I have is a 'bussness' solution so guess they are a bit laxer on that since I go through about 30-40Gb a month.
I'd have to agree, having expensive coding experience in both java and php, and having had to maintain both a JSP based HR program/portal (with NO comments, took me nearly 2 years to comment the entire thing, some people should be put down for the survival of the species me thinks), and a php portal that really stretched php to the max (can anybody say multiple persistent processes that can communicate with each other written in php), I'd have to say that java is good for:
Server cross platform apps
Server cross platform apps
Server cross platform apps
Its slow as fuck (all that crap about JIT optimization looks good on paper, but its CRAP), bloatware, and just generally unfriendly to use. Java is one of those, looks good on paper, but fails in implementation. One nice thing to say about it is that it is a very clean programming language, very nice to code in (I'm forgetting about the explicit exception handeling of course).
PHP on the other hand knows its job, and it does it exceptionally well, and if you don't like it you can always extend it.
Nuf said, php for web stuff, java for server apps.
Dude, that don't fix the apps, which is the main problem that the dumb cunts at VerShit didn't think about. Now all my programs can't figure out that the entered address is not at ip 216.168.224.63 or 64.94.110.11. So instead it tries those Ip's and has to time out. Hopefully their servers are getting flooded the fuck out but I guess one really needs to write a proper app to cause any serious damage that may get them to change their minds.
This can only be a good thing, I mean a goverment possition that does not state what a drain space exploration is and does not take only a negative view of it must be a good thing.
Space exploration has stagnated, the reasons are varied and no one particular entity is to blame, but anything that envigorates space exploration and the riches is brings must be a good thing!
P2P the ultimate backup medium on the cheap. Why pay when people will back it up for you for free!
Hell I guess that's why all my DVD's, CD's, home made porn, and scanned images of my squashed face end up being backed up to. And all it costs you is bandwidth and a RIAA law suit:P.
Only 93%! The last 5% take about the same amount of time the first 95% did. I wonder if they have some ex-M$ employese working there, you would think that stability/reliablity was one of the first issues.
"It can beat all other fighters in the air but has a 'self failure' rate of 30% per mission"
"Well take it!"
Self control/Self Motivation is the first step. Realizing that it has to be done, one way or the other, either at my convenience or not. Having said that this is not an easy thing to master, it has taken me nearly 17 years of schooling to get it right and even then, if its something that I particularly despise I still end up pulling an all nighter to have it finished hours before the dead line.
A few pointers: * Remove distractions: If you find you can't get anything done at home go somewhere were distractions are less abound (trust me, there is only so many hours you can spend in the library staring into space before you realize your folly:). * Plan ahead: A few tricks, set the due date 2 days before for small projects/assignments and a week before for big projects/assignments before the actual due day, have this in your mind as the actual date is has to be done (not as a ¥I¦ll start it tomorrow, its not like its actually due today¦), this helps in the event of the unforeseen. Plan your life in general, if you know that you can go and do something if you finish your project/assignment before a certain date/time it can be quite the motivator. * Social life: Well what can be said, there is a reason geeks get good marks f. All I can really say on this one is that my social life has always been inversely proportional to my marks. To master this one is really tough, it can be done but it is a tricky road. Having friends who value the need to get work done, and do it well helps. Go out and party when your studies/work commitments are low and lap it up while you can (post exam time/holidays). * Rest/Best time: Realize that you are not a machine and you do need rest, don¦t expect that you will be at your best at the end of a hard day before you have had anything to eat. Identify times that would be most ideal for study, be realistic!, It is one thing to spend hours forcing it an getting nothing much done, its another just to not try because you don¦t feel like it.
I know this is all quite obvious but what it really comes down to is self control and realizing that you¦re the one who determines how you spend your time.
And if you still find you waste the evening to end up doing the work after midnight, maybe you should just embrace it, go out, party, have fun, be back by midnight and start working then, plan that time into your life. Having said that don¦t use it as an excuse not get anything done either.
My best time is from midnight to 4am, I realize this and factor it when planning things, I can be a curse or a gift, you decide.
What a time to go, hope you don't get imprisoned with no rights for being 'combatant' or 'terrorist' or just for being different by all the xenophobes.
The New Zealand Hearld is an unreliable paper, they get basically everything wrong one way or the other (to cite an example, they can't even get the name right for a 700 people land, that had everybody playing CS 'against terrorism' on ONE server). So thier take might be completly off...
NZ is small, if you have a contact with Microsoft, you do everything you can to please them. Otherwise they might cancel the contact next time it comes up for review. Which in NZ could mean the company would have to scale back significantly or even shut down.
Ohh and yes, MS is a big boy in this country and throws its weight around quite happily.

Breach of security in regards to medical and psychological data under the schools care, which was known about but not acted on for 9 months? Sounds like some parents are going to get rich quick. Bring on the law suits.
The attitude of the schools staff appalls me; sounds like the poor admin can't even do his job as everything needs to be rubber stamped before it can go in effect. And since when do they think that by securing the perimeter of the network does it make the files any more secure.
I wonder if my "Collection and use of energy originating from a hydrogen based nuclear fussion reaction by radiation energy or via potential energy" would pass in the US?!
Slashdot Mirror
For all you people who don't have a clue, think LOTR's :)
Have they forgoten who they are actualy representing? This is very sad.
They also impliment traffic shaping, can you say 0.1KB/s for Kazaa or any other port besides 80. It sucks, I hope it does not get as bad for you guys.

I fully agree with this statment, that god someone pointed out the blindingly obvius to all the emues, you can't hide your head in the sand forever.

I'd have to agree with that, and don't forget the neural drop into the brain for when tty quake just doesn't cut it anymore for your pr0n needs.
You call THAT old skool! In my day we made organic computers by cultivation our athlets foot.
Ohh the quality of Britneys PR machine... make you cring!
n'th that.

Fucking americans, still cant get over WW II.
I guess thats why they are trying to start WW III.
Man what dumb ass, watch the video clip and you will understand. http://www.tvone.co.nz/programmes/holmes/ I guess some people never learn.
