Damn, slow down Timmy. Quality not quantity. How is this even interesting? Who cares, there are plenty of potential problems when you design networks. Are we going to have a story about each of them?
If SCO is right, then the GPL licensing of the kernel is invalid, because those that licensed it did not have the right to do so since the code contained SCO IP.
Its actually a very interesting case. I know the SlashBots find it hard to believe, but it is entirely possible that SCO IP WAS USED and IS USED in the kernel.
No, I haven't attended an Indian Uni of course. However I do work with a lot of Indians whoc regard the Indian tech schools as inferior, which they are. In particular IIT and Pune are very low on the list, and when they see resumes with schools like those listed, they go right in the garbage bin.
As for sucking off the teat, you certainly are. ALL Univ's are massively supported by tax dollars. EVERY student is subsidized, whether they know it or not.
Tell me, why don't you go back to India to live if it is so wonderful and America and Americans are so stupid? Actions speak louder than words.
BTW, the CIA factbook unemployment figures only take into account those LOOKING for work, it doesn't properly account for unemployment. That metric only makes sense in Western style markets where real unemployment is low.
"We take a wonderfull thing like internet technology and the best thing we can think to do with it is download mp3s and play shoot em up games, so our collective brain stagnates while those less priviledge who see the real potential, have the common sense to use [blah]"
Sir, we INVENTED "internet technology" and we use it for many many things. Maybe since you are a high school kid you do not see this, but some day you will grow up.
My comment about being spoiled is that YOU ARE spoiled. You live off of the riches of the U.S. and pretend to hate it. Ridiculous.
I'll tell you what. You go back to India to live and top sucking off the teat of the U.S. and I will shut up. You arrogant Indians mock the US with your silly "coke-mcdonalds" comments while leeching off of the very system that produces them.
The time for the backwards Indian/Asian/African cultures is OVER. Deal with it. Western style ideology will continue to spread like wildfire, burning your diseased cultures to oblivion.
If the sole reason that people don't buy OSS and Linux systems is because it is "free as in beer" for the software, then just CHARGE THEM FOR THE SOFTWARE.
Of course, that isn't the reason they aren't buying. The real reason is up for you to figure out.
Indian Universities are of very poor quality, just to bring your typical Indian male arrogance down a notch.
Also, I suspect you are in the U.S. sucking off the teat of those who you mock.
Your country has a billion people, 56% unemployment rate and a 52% literacy rate. It is nothing to brag about. If it was, you would still be living there.
Hm, I have actually been there. Its gotta a hella lot of mosquitos. Arnolds Park is very cool in a retro sort of way. It is a classic amusement park, with a wooden roller coaster and some old rides. Its very Iowa.
What the heck do you need computers for in Lake Okoboji???
From the article: "They have this notion about the predictive capabilities of intelligence,'' he said. ``We think it's absurd; we think when you look at what happened in 9/11. You ought to go on the basis of real evidence from the real world. They have these ideas about markets and predictive capabilities which are more of fantasy land"
It may be fantasy land but DARPA is supposed to research ADVANCED defense related topics. I think this is a good idea and worth investigating. It doesn't mean it should be deployed.
I love you technoelite nerds. I used to be like you, thinking that anyone who didn't know how to recompile a kernel was without brains.
Then I grew up and learned that many people don't WANT to know every little detail about a system, they just want it to perform.
Once you graduate and get a few years under your belt you will see the light. Until then have fun rebooting and TESTING TESTING TESTING and reading about how FooX causes a buffer overflow in COM Interface Y. That will get you far in life and is truly meaningful.
Me, I'll just leave that to the people who understand the system and install their suggested updates.
I am not "computing". I am using a computer, as a tool, as an end to a means. This isn't 1964 anymore buddy. Go twiddle your bits and leave me alone, I have stuff to do.
Its people like you who needlessly overengineer things that cause the problems.
"You first see if you NEED the update, if the bug fixes effect you, then you TEST TEST TEST. If it doesnt then you DONT install it."
Uh, dude. This is my personal computer. I don't have time to see if I NEED to update and then to TEST TEST TEST. I have better things to do than to audit everything. Christ, a computer is just a TOOL to get something else done. I do the same thing with up2date for redhat. it works, its great. ITS A NICE SYSTEM.

How is $325 million a staggering figure? The CEO of Redhat makes more than that in exercised options every year.
India doesn't have much of those. In general the highly skilled ones are taught at American universities. They certainly don't come from Pune or IIT.
Nonsense. Most "tech jobs" are easily done. Simply a lot of drudgery.
This is simply because they are cheaper, and can be worked to death.
Its essentially indentured servitude.

The "true cultures". Bah, you Indian arrogant nationalists make me sick. Sucking of the teat of the U.S. while claiming superiority.
You have over a billion people, 52% literacy and 56% unemployment. Great job. If that is civilization then let me go back to the caves.
Then leave. If people are so wonderful elsewhere, why don't you join them? I'll never understand you spoiled self-hating American kids.

Cool! Bashing Americans AND Microsoft in one post, even though the parent referred to neither! You get a +5 informative!

Right on the latter. I was imagining explaining to my Mom what a regex is. :-))
The "R" in DARPA is for Research.
From the article: "They have this notion about the predictive capabilities of intelligence,'' he said. ``We think it's absurd; we think when you look at what happened in 9/11. You ought to go on the basis of real evidence from the real world. They have these ideas about markets and predictive capabilities which are more of fantasy land"

" could do T (tag pattern) then write a regexp based on from, to, subject, body, etc"
LOL!!!
A couple of million? Try a billion. You putz.
And you never will... :-)

I do Computer programming. :-)
Actually you are right that EE is a flexible degree, but computer science type jobs are much more prevalent than EE in the world for sure.
