how long before someone sues microsoft for lost time/effort , 80000 pc's for a single company.. how many pc's total? Could it be in the millions? The only thing I can think of protecting mircrosoft would be the EULA, but im no expert in that area.
naw.. if I just recieved a cease and decist order, the last thing I would do is put it on a p2p network.. to easy to trace ips. Better solution would be a news group, or say google groups or something.
im no lawyer but I think that talking about security holes vs. giving a lecture on how to exploit security holes are two different things, and the first ammentment only applies to one of them.
I resent that statement. Im a senior in highschool with a perfect driving record. Further more im taking 300 level computer science courses at my local college.
Now if you would put "most" infront of your statement I would agree. Im tired of not being able to find a job becuase im young.
thats a good point.. now that were seing more and more digital pictures, digital films, etc, there will be an increase in need to keep backups. Not just on a floppy either. How hard would it be for someone design a fireproof little vault that you could stuff in some remote corner of the house, wireless enable it.. and have it easy enough to hook up that grandma could use it for data storage?
Just think.. then instead of having to try and mount the hardrive on a different computer when it breaks.. I can just format it.. install a fresh OS, and copy and paste from my little safe.
Or bettery yet.. just keep a copy of the whole hard-drive.. not just the data files.. so when grandmas computer breaks.. I can tell here to pop in the restore cd.. have it boot up.. and automatically restore the lastest stable image of her hardrive. I wouldn't even have to run across town.
well its kinda hard to say what the future languages will look like until we know what type of functionality computers will have in 100 years. Will we have specialized hardware for a metaverse style internet? If we do it would drastically change the way we code.. if we dont.. it would drastically change the way we code..
the other problem with trying to predict the way programming languages will change is the simple fact that a programming language is just an abstraction for executing instructions on a chip. Unless that fundemental fact changes.. then I fail to see how languages could have any signifigant change, other then just more and more layers of abtraction(look at stuff like flash), or maybe extra layers of redundancy/stability.
(mathematica does matrices as linked lists of linked lists!)...
you got me interested.. whats 100x faster then linked lists of linked lists(especially if your talking about sparse matrixces)?
array implentation would take up a load of memory... the only other thing I could think of that would be super fast would be a hash table.. but im not sure how you would implement that and keep that data in order.
perhaps theres a data structure im not familiar with yet that is more suited.. im really intrested in this.. please tell me a little about it.
I beta tested my exgirlfriend for about a month.. initial testing went excellent.. but the release version started to become non-sastisfactory after about 2 years.. and no warrenty either:/
I have read a decent bit of Shakespeare.. so lay off. I wasn't trying to write an essay about Romeo and Juliet.. I was simply giving an example of how not every story has to have everyone live happily ever after in order to be a good story.
well I for one am still learning the art of c++, and if just learned how to go and write code like #include slist whatever;
vs writting my own software, I would probably never learn anything. I think the problem is that, someone is playing around with c/c++ writes there own code instead of using standard stuff(for learning purposes as stated above), comes up with some software that is actually worth having, then publishes it on the net without going back and trying to see if they can use the standard secure code that was already available.
Now on the other hand, if you truly are a c/c++ guru, developing in a controlled inviroment, writting your own code can have signifigant advantages. Ever try looking at STL code(ewwwww) , or for instance overloading the new operator.
I wonder how many people at google are reading this right now and taking notes on things they can improve on... I would be willing to bet more then a few
. Instead I found myself angry at the author for his strawman arguments, illogical conclusions, unfounded assertions, and irrelevant asides.
hmmm
Where does he get this stuff from? Did I read that right, he thinks formal software engineering would complain about too many code reviews? I must have missed that issue of IEEE Software.
The review talks about the book almost intirely in terms of the author, instead of in terms of the content.. so yes I stick to my position that there are personal attacks in the review.
yes.. I totally agree... if you understand data structures properly.. armed with a design patterns book even the largest most obscure projects can be written much more smoothly
well... Ive done a little reading on rechargable batteries, and ive always heard that to make the battery charge last the longest, your sapposed to let the battery drain all of the way, then fully recharge the battery, another words letting the battery get half dead, then charge it up, would be the worst thing to do for it.

yeah I was thinking the same thing...

naw... Id take an angry librarian over an angry postal worker any day
well im guessing that they wouldn't destroy checkout records of books that were not returned.
So a note to terrorists... if your checking out books on making weapons, make sure to return the book. J/K
I have read a decent bit of Shakespeare.. so lay off. I wasn't trying to write an essay about Romeo and Juliet.. I was simply giving an example of how not every story has to have everyone live happily ever after in order to be a good story.
so what? ever read romeo and juliet? Everyone ends up dying in the end but its still a fantastic peice of reading.
google looks good in lynx.. no other search engine can say that.. enough said
why does vimacs come to mind?
the only thing worse then printers are scanners

well maybe I would consider it, if I lived in an area that sold tivos...
how about television, with stations/content that you choose, and no ads at all... for a little more cash
can we make tivo a topic of its own so I can ignore it?

yes.. I totally agree... if you understand data structures properly.. armed with a design patterns book even the largest most obscure projects can be written much more smoothly
for a book review that seemed to have alot of personal attacks against the auther... but overall I found it to be interesting and well written

Can someone please correct me if Im wrong?
