I have lived my life in understanding that unix never has been actually in any kind about security (As we understand and define it today). The fact that unix went multiuser early enough to be able to incorporate some basic necessity stuff to ensure that developing team is not bothered too loudly by users AND some 20+ year advantage over other operating systems on the market that have allowed to do one iteration or the other (and of course academic research), may allow one to perceive that unix is secure, but let's be honest - there never ever, up to quite recently (last decade or so), has been any actual effort to think about it or actually to develop unix so that it is Secure.
I am actually unsure if this could be the case - just as well it might be that hdds are manifactured taking average desktop in mind and are tuned to tolerate a bit higher temparature range overall. This would also explain increased failures when getting too hot, thus, leaving optimal range again.
So, even if you are legitimate or whatever (if I receive an e-mail from you and I automatically don't feel all warm and fuzzy like when I receive anything from Sun and think about their freebies bags), if you annoy more than 10% of your auditory - you are a spam. basta.
My inbox is my territory and my property, clearcut as that - and anything that is not welcome in my dining room (without prior notification or invitation) most likely will be absolutely uninvited there. Argue about legitimacy as much as you want, but if it annoys me even for 1/10th of a second when you step on my property or knock at my door - you will be knocked out, asked to get the fuck off or just plainly will be punched in your face.
(what kinda reminds me is that single real-life spammers remaining recently seems to be only those Mormon, 7th day, Christian or whatever is the sect of a day choice idiots. At least this means that rest of them has given up, so hopefully such tactics might work on interpipes too.)
There was no Chechen terrorists. None. Not a single one. A few street thugs does not justify a mass genocide that Putin started. The same situation actually applies 1:1 for US and Afghanistan/Iraq, upcoming Iran mess. You start genocide, you get your terrorists. Usually ordinary guys that have been driven out of their homes, have their sisters/daughters violently raped/killed by FightersForFreedom or just is driven insane by constant CNN reports claiming that they ARE the terrorists. What else to do then?
1) Billions off vista? Yeah, right. Public beta is expected to start at the end of January, turnaround to the market isn't THAT fast (remember NT4 SP3? Remember W2000 SP4? Remember Windows XP SP1?)
2) Itanium?
3) Except for the fact that SUPERcomputers are not specced, ordered and build overnight, more like 18-24 month timeframe for rollout and then some for full capacity if we are talking about serious ones. Also CELL is not the answer, ask Cray.
4) Assuming that ___OPEN!!! IT'S OPEN NOW___ Solaris actually manages to get any exposure at all this is absolutely unlikely to happen in an envorement that is supercharged with egos and religious evangelists/fanatics that spend their lives defending their indentation style or plan source control system migration for 18 months ahead.
Of course we could be had - last three paragraphs hives off a hint that this could be a very ultrasubtle attempt at humor. In a failed way of sense.
In short - most stupid article seen on/. within last month. I just felt obliged to comment.
Ehmmm - the funny part is that if they are going to do a mobile phone they better do better than Motorola that has managed to screw any imaginable aspect of their mobile phones up (samsung is acceptable and Nokia has gone way down recently too). And taking into account the absolute lack of any significant developments in mobile field over last few years except camera quality improvements (kudos SonyEricsson K800i) and 3G (that not a single manufacturer has yet matched with adequate CPU to exploit the transfer speed, matching and passing that will not be so difficult as you would like to state. As for smart phones and application support... heh - name three native smartphone applications that you could provide as an example of success and presence of market for 3rd party applications? Next - which smartphone platform they are running? Symbian (and which one of 4 incompatible editions currently on the market? Maybe symbian with UIQ (like SEp990)? Windows Mobile? Which one? Which screen sizes/orientations supported?) MIDP on the other hand is working quite well and at least works. Not to mention that generic handsets (that usually runs MIDP/CLDC) outsell smartphones by what? 50:1?
I would like to remind you two quite important factors: 1) 90% of functionality offered on current crop of mobile phones are left unused. Ether because it makes no sense or because it is too difficult to use. 2) iPod is an iPod now because it did what no-one else dared to do in the feature and sell-by-bullet-points race - left out stuff that was not necessary and focused to get the necessary part right.
I am not saying that they will get it right - but if Apple will tackle phones as per se, I expect them to do some really, really good stuff. the problem currently on the market is the superfocusing on different market segments (19year old white males, 46 year old afro-american females and that kind of shit) that has led to situation where nobody has actual chance to take a look at phone as a whole and instead focus on getting different form-factors and colors on the market to attract customers attention while they are looking at a shelf full of different but 100% equaly shitty devices.
No, it would not. What killed ussr/psrs was the space race. At around 1985 psrs was already starting to move their key assets to what is now russia - they perfectly well saw that the economic model is simply not sustainable and the whole perestroika was just a PR presentation of the inevitable. The difference between china and psrs lies in the centralization of economic management. This is the single reason why china is still as it is - helped by the outsourcing wave that gave them the tools, of course.
Not so much _faster_ than _guaranteed_ execution time for any given precision required (and if you have 480 pixels on axis on the screen you can play with that for quite a lot).
This is why console games (ps, ps2, xbx, 360, bla bla bla huj) actually stays competitive to PC (more powerful, of course) - since developers has a good idea about actual CPU/GPU available at any given moment, they can safely close to the border way more confidently than on pc. And on PC they usually resort to generic 'will give you the best that I can' routines anyway.
(at least that what I can say after observing xbox360 devel team for 6 months. scary stuff, they do, scary stuff.)
No seriously. Please be nice and decide whether you are a professional or a PFY trying to decide whether you actually enjoy (aka: have a clue) what you are doing.
If you are in there because of the money and because you know what you are doing. DO IT.
If you are there because they miraculously accepted you CV and this is your first employer - GET THE FUCK LOST NOW. And better do not take up any work ever again. If you are having a problem now, you will most certainly have it later. And from experience the only people that have moral problems are the one that are incapable to deliver - the rest just delivers and gets their fix & reason to live from that (and money, but then it's just a matter of being able to afford to work without thinking or being offset by about the bills).
Cool off mate. The simple fact remains - PJ came and made a movie, no, actually three movies, that both represented the work pretty closely to the spirit of the Tolkien (once format limitations are taken into account - and i've yet to see a movie that beats the original), and appealed to the mass audience. Without becoming too cheap.
Give him at least a credit for that. Think what Spielberg or Lynch would have done. Or dare I say - Lars Fon Tier...
To be fair, once a person understands the need for religion in the lower classes of people, everything suddenly makes sense. And I really mean - Everything. Including 42.
On the other hand, you still have those masses to face. And the best option for all usually is to lie.
eeehm... what makes you think that current US administration isn't running the ultimate business model. The only thing that seeds some doubt is seeing how much they shoot themselves in the foot, but then again - they are getting away with it, so it seems that they clearly know what they are doing. And they are doing, whatever that is that they are doing, really artfully - to keep USD afloat after first Bush's presidency - hat off. To keep it appear even remotely valuable during the second... That's some real business brain and white powder in your eyes behind this all.
(it's a pity that pyramid schemes are not criminally pinichable on inter-state relations level. It's basically all that WTO does, not to mention USA's recruitement princpiplces.)
There is a difference - he does not deny the content, he denies the delivery and the messenger. That is a huge difference.
And to be honest, had it any chance to succeed (and, were I already in Sidney, as planned) I could consider joining.
But while I am not, all that is left for me is to work towards the doom and equilibrium by consuming whatever the fuck I want. By means of kazaa, napster, ftp and or bittorrent. There will be a day when RIAA and whatever else of thy soul will manage to sue themselves into oblivion of no return. And I shall bring that moment closer.
(And while we are at it - can I call you a pint, Pink Floyd, Autechre, Einstuerzende Neubauten and MUM guys?)
There are soccer players, pianists, perverts and maniacs.
Soccer players press the key and expect that their fingers will be thrown back in the air with a good kick feel at the same time. They are the ones who prefer IBM feel. Not bad, not good - it's just a preference where you clearly want to know that you scored where you wanted. It is pretty hard to make mistakes on those keyboards - the force required and key-angle acceptance comes together to create really quite an usable approach that does prevents mistakes. This is the best balance for blind-typing available, no questions barred. It's all about guaranteeing control. Good alternative - Sun Type5 keyboard. Oh, the beauty.
Pianists like to float across the keyboard and be soft. Not in a fag way, but just - softly directing whatever happens as they please without paying too much attention and accepting that mistakes can and will happen yet trading it in for the beauty, the elegance, of the act of typing. These are the kind of people that will find microsoft internet keyboard (I must admit, haven't followed up on the latest from them recently, but only Microsoft really captures the essence of the elegance of typing, really) feel as the preferred one. Not weak - soft. Worth a try - Sun type6 keyboard. So identical that I occasionally wonder whether it has been actually manufactured by Microsoft.
Perverts are the kind of people that use recent Mac keyboards. Alternative - typewriter. Touch typing experience is approximately the same with at least 10% of the key presses being stuck because of incorrect approach angle. And all that kind of people.
Oh, and maniacs - for maniacs the keyboard is a mere representation of the computer itself. A common issue across software developers and their hard-beating-receiving keyboards.
(what leaves us with logitech, but then again - a mediocrity cannot excel - it just pleases those that know no better)
(I am drunk and in a poetic state. And therefore will avoid mentioning the 7kg pure 8mm steel sheet keyboard I was using once with my Z80 clone. That had some message and potential. For jailtime, if fulfilled.)
Get the cells running under linux first. For now, as far as I am aware, they are just lying there not doing anything useful under linux. (and for the funny part my little filthy hands are itching to get my hands on ether one of those or G80 - I have some AI workloads to throw at that shit:P (isn't this the primary reason why the availability is so low - they all are already installed in some secret governments basement to form the next skynet (now that Google has proven to be too intelligent to actually do something about us)).
And then of course for general purpose use there is a problem who will write some useful software for them. I have a hunch that no-once - all people on earth that have even the slightest clue as to what to do with them are ether senile academics or busy at inventing new and new swearwords while working on the next Big FPS.
1)/. loves system info screens. Really. Some action or at least tux racer. Closeup of kernel messages? Does it see the cell SPUS? Any speculation? Screenshot of pcimap? Writing, compiling and calculating fibonacci's 999'999'999th entry in under 10 minutes (did it once, took two weeks and led to 20Mb file)? 2) You can be pretty sure that everyone here already knows that Fedora (GASP) is Linux (GASP TWICE) and that it could include (GASP!!! GASP!!!) useful software like spreadsheet or word processor. Or even Blackjack, you gambling whore... 3) You seem to have no clue about video capturing whatsoever;). Tell us what are you using - DV Camcoder (in such case you are an idiot for not transferring it to pc via firewire)? Grandmas Hi8 (Would be so fitting. That's your parent's basement, right?)? Webcam (geek factor++, only if unsupported, yet still being captured under linux)? Btw 320x240 is on par with what you receive over regular broadcasts, so it's not so shabby at all, if done properly. 4) You should go and learn some marketing - EBay auction - PS3 preloaded with Fedora Core 5, fully funcional would be some moneyraiser. Now that I have said it, expect this gap to be filled in 10 minutes. 5) Whats this rotating across your basement every 5 minutes? If you wanted to show yourself, would at least have done so. And trying to capture black PS3 in a black room - feeling like David Lynch?
(in short, send it over, I'll show you how it should be done properly (and in hi-def, for additional geek factor)).
Moto RAZR? Have you actually tried to use it or are you just speaking from the marketing pictures? No, really???
1) RAZR (pebl, k1, whatever... any recent moto it seems with the positive exception of E770, they all are the same shit) is not a smartphone. far from it. It don't even attempts. That would be fine, actually - not everything has to be one.
2) It actually couldn't be called a phone ether - you are expected to be able to call from a phone, not fight with the interface. On the other hand it probably is doing something good - teaching the great American nation about the virtues of the patience (while waiting on your phone, what a progress).
3) Oh, and for the sake of it - re qualify to be a j2me software engineer. You will gain a lotta new insights into reasons why motorola sucks that are a bit too technical (in example their KVM implementation... oh my) for general/. crowd.
The one fucking thing I cannot stand is people that are not good to lie without tangling up in their mess, yet continues to do so. And good ol Kissy managed that properly - lied to everyone, got caught by no-one;)
showe your BSIT degree with a 3.5 GPA up your ass. It means NOTHING at all.
Experience means that you are capable to work in the team, that you know when to back up, when to press for things, actually have some understanding that working code != proper code and shipping code != quality code because of development resources != whatever methodology of the day would love to consider resources to be capable of.
Oh, and because of your BSIT degree with a 3.5 GPA you probably expect that you will be paid well, right? Stick it up baby, during last three years filtering resumes first ones to go are the ones that put their BSIT degrees with a 3.5 GPA in a bold colored font as the first line. If that's all you have and you actually believe that it matters even the slightest bit - you are an idiot.
nobody wants to work with an idiots. They usually don't deliver and just manage to make a huge mess when they are forced to discover that nobody appreciates their BSIT degree with a 3.5 GPA and expects real results instead.
