it is common knowledge that aolusers come through aol's proxies, and the proxy hostnames contain proxy in them, so it should be fairly obvious
also, anybody who is running web statistics should know the following things: 1) web statistics are inaccurate 2) proxies screw up web statistics 3) not all proxies are visible 4) refer to 1 and 2
guess what language perl is written in? yeah thats right, C. Guess what, if you work really hard, you can make perl have a buffer overflow (or at least segfault).
also, if you use proper techniques when programming c, its not that hard to avoid buffer overflows and malloc problems.
what does the technology level of dublin (or ireland) have anything to do with ivy league universities in the united states?
the coder guy wants to go to harvard, and people said thats a dumb place to go to school for cs when you could aspire to caltech (not really part of the ivy league i don't think) or mit. and another guy said that people from dublin probably don't know about all that many us universities. and then you say that universities in dublin are pretty great, wtf?
I totally agree that if girls aren't going into CS, then there is about as much effect on IT as on the price of banannas:)
(thats not completely true, but seriously people, if you know you're going into IT, why the heck do you want to take hard classes, when you can get a degree in MIS and have an active social life (which women stereotypically desire))
good information, one thing i think you may have missed is that there are apparently multiple (more than 2) access points. If you're going to run the fiber at gigabit w/ the converters, then if all the links share a location for one end (which would likely be in the main tv building, but who knows) and you would need a gigabit switch capable of handling all that fiber there. Of course, if its actually more of a ring layout, then each switch would need two gigabit fiber connectors, and you'ld really want more of a router than a switch, since otherwise it'd get ugly. It'd probably be better to have a router in each building anyhow, but it wouldn't be strictly needed, with creative network design.
i think apt-get, aptitude, dselect, and dpkg all (attempt to )grab the lock on the debian package database when they're running, regardless of if they're actually doing package stuff, waiting for user input, or downloading.
i'm sure there are flags to dpkg and rpm to ignore the lock if you really wanna do two things at once
how are you supposed to install the gui with a graphical package manager?
why not have the package manager be all unixy and easy to abuse with pipes and such, so that if somebody wanted a graphical front end, it could happen, but if somebody wants to just maintain their server through a terminal, they could too?
well, perhaps i'm biased, but at my school (which you can guess from my email address:), they actually make the SE's do large long term projects, although they do typically work in teams of 5 or less. They don't start doing the really long projects until the third or fourth year though.
I know that truth in names in education is hard to come by, but if the major is software engineering, and they're not working on large projects, thats pretty bad.
since you left no contact info, I can't go snooping around to the school you go to, so i'm going to assume the following: your school has a software engineering program, or at least a computer science or computer engineering program.
If your school has a software engineering program, you're in luck, the higher level students should be very good at estimating time involved in programming stuff, but only after you work out what your requirements are.
If your school has a computer science or computer engineering program, you'll probably be able to find a lot of people willing to guess at how long it will take, and they probably won't make you work out your requirements. Of course, you'll have to take their estimates with a large grain of salt.
If your school has none of these programs available, then you'll have to go bother random students at another near by school.

the ui is different, but the system is very similar.
you have a list of users who are online (ie irc's ison), and you can send them messages (ie irc's privmsg), and additionally there are chatrooms (ie irc's #blah)
I think that would actually be a large hidden benefit of telecomuting with software engineering.
Since you can't glean info from the coworkers in the hall, you'll probably get it from them in writing, and if its in writing, it can be in the documentation, and if you put it in the documentation, then everybody knows.
given that a large portion of the documentation for a distribution is available on the computer, one might try searching through the documentation with the computer, if the index is not sufficent.
man and info both support searching (with the / key in both, i believe)
most of the documentation for linux/unix that is not in man or info pages is in html, and most web browsers also support searching, although the key may vary
its awful hard to go to a website to request your password if you can't log in to your computer (yes, you could bug a coworker, but then you're still wasting company time to have your password fixed)
if the phones aren't on a lock, then an automated touch tone system would work.
While it is certainly easier to hit a button and make the laptop into a firewire drive than to remove the hard drive and toss it in another system, having the option to make the laptop into a firewire drive doesn't strike me as decreasing security.
Either way, to be secure, the hard drive should have some sort of 'drive lock' on it that requires authentication and then allows access.
Falling asleep in lectures is not necessarily a bad thing, although if it annoys lecturers its not the best thing in the world. Well, as long as you're not falling deeply asleep. I have a tendancy to fall lightly asleep in lectures too, but none of my lecturers have been annoyed, except the one time i slept past the end of a lecture.
The best strategy to stay awake during lectures is to take notes. If you don't look at your notes, then you don't even have to take good notes.:)
Feel free to send me an email if you need more ideas.
actually the osr2 labeled usb support was osr 2.1 (or 2.5?) there was an osr2 before that that was not labeled usb support, and you had to download a patch from microsoft for it.
reportedly the usb support in win95 was pretty flaky, but i haven't used it.
You might have made the (quite easy to make) mistake of not compiling everything the kernel needs to read your root filesystem into the kernel. For example, assuming a ext3 formated disk on ide for your root filesystem... making ext3 support or ide support as a module or omitting either one would make it panic on boot, regardless of if the boot loader is passing it the correct parameters.
this is speculation combined with poor memory, so don't take this for truth without proper research, but...
i seem to recall that al gore actually received more total votes than george w. But because of the way the system of the electoral college works and the distribution of votes, he did not get the majority of the electoral college.
I could be wrong, but I believe I'm not.
Regardless of that, nobody seemed to raise a fuss about the electoral college before the election, nor do they seem to have continued the fuss raised, so it seems that nobody really minds.

umm... why not use -lgc6 and any applicable includes in your big .h file?
why should the compiler have a seperate flag for it, when its just another library?
(note, i'm using -lgc6, since debian's package for Boehm is called libgc6, your results may vary)
furthermore, whats wrong with dynamically linking the garbage collector?
not to pick on you personally, but....

i was recently on a plane, and saw this in the SkyMall catalog.
I haven't used it, but it looks like a decent product, if you search some, you can probably find a better description, but i don't care.
Depending on the market, the buggyness has no effect on sales.
For instance, most consumers aren't worried about buggyness, as long as its not terribly buggy.
However, aerospace kinda likes bugless code.
640x480x16 vga mode doesn't work so well if you don't have a vga card :)
(yes i'm being a prick, but some people legitimately use serial consoles for things, and a graphical package manager wouldn't work well for that)
i think apt-get, aptitude, dselect, and dpkg all (attempt to )grab the lock on the debian package database when they're running, regardless of if they're actually doing package stuff, waiting for user input, or downloading.
i'm sure there are flags to dpkg and rpm to ignore the lock if you really wanna do two things at once
you can also run dpkg --purge [pkgname] which will save aptitude the work of invoking dpkg :)

By available broadband support, you of course mean by spending somewhere over $100 for the nic.
If you get the cheaper nic, then you have to use a japanese web browser, which may be hard for the elderly who don't read japanese.
I don't know that using broadband will be particularly important, or if the webTV devices support it at all.
