You fool. Now TACO is going to have to report all your connection log details on redtail1 to the RIAA. Then they'll track your down to your ISP and right to your house. You are not anonymous you file trading theif!:o)
"The instruments were recently shock tested in the New Mexico desert by firing them at high speed into 2 metres (6 feet) of plywood, where they experienced 1200 G's of shock and worked perfectly afterwards."
I went down to the county court house and got a DBA. I quit my old job after they got bought out by a really big company and management lost touch with reality. Now I do contract programming for various companies around the country - including the one I left for about double my old pay. It's a bit lonely but I'm very happy and don't have an insanely long task list or full of competing deadlines. I do miss the cheap insurance though.
I setup a DSL/WiFi network in my house and got a nice lock for my office door to keep my son out. That's the only modification I made other then running a phone line into a new room.
Zoning restrictions generally only apply to home businesses where the public may come to your house or you may have large/noisy/ugly machinery to do you job. Get a laptop and visit the clients. After over a year in business I have yet to have a client visit my home, and have never seen many of my clients.
Best of luck to you, it's a wonderful life if you can work it, but it's hard to get 8 hours in some days when you can just as easily go out an play in the park with your family.
The GPL will force them to return all of their changes to the kernel and we can review their patches and keep track of what they are up to! It's all a very sneaky calculated move. Stop complaining or you'll screw it up.
There is so much more to say but I know I'm preaching to the choir here. So I'll ignore the obvious statements and just ask my questions.
I don't quite get it. I thought defending a patent was an expensive process. If everyone here seems to agree there is a load of prior art and most can't even agree on WHAT the patent is actually for - how can it cost that much to defend against? Isn't the accused company innocent until proven guilty? How are patents revoked or invalidated once granted? If someone patents a string of human DNA - am I not Prior Art??
Forget designing email from the ground up - start with IP Patents.
You want the computer to run the experiment, catalog all the results and present them in a nice format. Maybe when it's done it can put your name on the results and publish it for you too.
Just Kidding;o)
But if your determeined to let the computer do the work, perhaps some form of Genetic Algorithm could be applied here. If you can define you domain into something that can be broken down well enough and tested for selection criteria there are lots of tools and research available. If you have an API to work with like you said it shouldn't be too hard.
Of course converting it to a GA may take longer then your original experiments to implement.
Yeah it's the Gnu stuff that binds it all together, but GAMP just doesn't have that ring to it. And some people use PostreSQL too, but we can always slide that in under the P.;o)
If a company based in the US hires foreign programmers, are those programmers are performing a service for that company or producing a product?
If a whole factory is moved or built in another country, there is something to import and transport. With software we have source, binaries, libraries... at what point can we decide they've made something versus done something?
Faxes Cost more then email, ink, paper, wear-n-tear and people can't recieve faxes while one is incoming. I hope this can be applied to spam, but the costs are much lower, and email can be downloaded much faster. Email servers can handle lots of incoming mail at the same time.
Still it sets a good precedent that could be very useful in the future.
I didn't just cancel the cable - I severed the cord leading to my house and ripped it out of the ground! I don't want that them connected to my TV in any way. I'm going to tie it in a noose and send it to the head of Sci Fi who canceled my reason for living.;o)
I have my own opinions on the matter, but I don't trust them.
One way or another, I've only seen or heard the major media stories infotainment clips and exciting as they seemed I kept getting distracted by the other half of the screen displaying unrelating changing information.
I know that people are going to die soon, and I'm very confused and sad. Desert Storm was successful because it had the full backing of the UN and other countries.
Why now, why not wait for the inspectors to finish their job? Why did Congress allow Bush to decide when diplomacy had failed so he could start his own war? What country will be next for rebuilding and destruction?
I just hope things have gotten bad enough and rebuilding is expensive enough that Bush won't get elected and we can start changing our plutocracy into something great again.
All those people who get to see articles "in the future" can get the goods. Worth the price of admission.:o)
Now if Slashdot Hosted a copy of all the links in the article too that only subscribers could get to it might be worth it. Even with a 20 or 30 minute delay I would miss most posts. I read/. at the end of the day - long after most linked sites are reduced to smoking craters or text only pages.
See Slashdot Subscribers see the Future article. And yes I've actually read the FAQ. Personally I think the Cache would be a great idea - especially if the site changes after./ing. I want to know what the original link said!
Come on. Trillions of Chemical Reactions per second is more like it. I admit they were very creative to come up with a problem that could be encoded in DNA, but there is no computation going on IMO.
Vinegar and Baking Soda generate a trillions of computations per second too, but the result is always an overflow.
Visual Basic, the ease of a scripting language, make binaries to hide your code, and now even does.net if you like.
It may not be a "REAL" language by some peoples definitions, but of course those people don't get to decide - individual developers and companies do.

I should be more specific. Our application has thousands of Stored Procedures - tablename_update, tablename_insert, tablename_select, etc, etc.
ODBC would work to look at a different database, but the bigest thing we need is to use the same Stored Procedure Language.
SQL specifies Data Manipulation, and Data Definition. If there was a standard Data Automation(?) section then we wouldn't be tied to the SQL server.
We've looked at converting things over to Oracle due to client request, but with the time required it would be cheaper to buy the client an MSSQL server.

I'm a programmer for a Supplier of Software to the US Government and we are actively looking to port our products to Linux do to the strong interest from our clients. Specific Offices decide what products they want to implement and how to do it. We are investigating Emulating Windows as an one solution.
I look forward to the days when any program that is Windows Compliant runs on any platform that supports the Windows API.
That being said, the real problem I have is DRIVERS for my hardware working under Linux. If someone could emulate Windows enough to use standard Windows Drivers, there would be no more reason to use Windows at all. I truly commend those braves souls and companies who write drivers for Linux.
Now if there was a Proxy that accepted Microsoft SQL requests and sent them to a PostgreSQL backend transparently we would be free of the beast and save the Tax Payers lots of money paying my paycheck, plus blow our competiters out of the water.:o)

Even Microsoft doesn't know, but if Apple wants it there must be something good about it. They'll buy it and figure it out later.
