I got into programming because I love building stuff. I don't really care what I get paid as long as I can live in contentment, and I do. I'm very lucky to have found a profession that aligns with my interests. A lot of people got into programming in the 90s because it was lucrative; well, it's not now. Be glad you have a job, Quit bitching. Welcome to reality.
if you don't have a good understanding of algebra and geometry, computer graphics coding is going to suck for you. You will not only find the work daunting, but your coworkers will be very frustrated with the duct tape work-arounds you will need to employ in order to compensate. My advice would be to work your butt off to grok both classes. It will only make your quality of work life more enjoyable later on. Trust me, math hated me as much as I hated it and I've had to go back and do it over.
What's happened is Adobe has tried to retrofit Acrobat with tubes. They did it with much haste so as to get a foothold in the 'cloud' computing craze. What we now have is a hastily coded bloated application that's somewhere between IE5 and MS Word 95 in terms of security. Adobe needs to start over, they f#cked up and need to fix it.
I don't see what open source has to do with it. People, in general, like getting something for nothing. Most people could care less about copyright. If anything, the open source movement educates people about copyright. The first thing people always ask is 'how can this be free?'.
The biggest problem is getting the system secured to the point where remote sites can't drop the files in the first place. Scanning executables isn't going to get you 100% infection free anyway because newer exploits change the stealth algorithm all the time. People need to move away from this idea that virus scanning is the first line of defense because it's not. All it is, is damage control.
It seems to me that when you sign up for a social networking site like facebook any of the information you give them is going to be well.. socially networked.
If you don't want your name, address, phone, measurements, work history and other info made available for the whole world to see, DON'T POST IT.
It's odd that anyone wanting privacy would be using a social networking tool when that is precisely what the tool was not designed to do.
would have: - matrix screensaver on the the front - 20-project electronics kit on the left inside flap - "happy holidays" would start with: 48h 41h 50h 50h 59h... - picture of the original star trek cast (with Redshirts) - it would have a blue led on it that works as a flashlite -..and when you open it, it would play the screeching noise you get out of your pc speaker when you accidentally dump core to 0xA000
I wish there was an alternative platform that wasn't so damned tied into the corporate money-hungry mindset. The only reason this is an issue is because the priority is money, rather than having fun. I'll stick to ID games that can be hacked and extended without all the corporate bullsh#t.
seriously, most of the crap i used to print works just fine digitally. The camera in my cellphone comes in handy for just about any kind of digital reproduction I need. Shift away from the I-need-to-print this-just-so-i-can-take-it-with-me to taking a pic of it, or emailing it.
The only thing I use my printer for now is printing out coloring book pages for the kid.
How vulnerable is it? Face it, most SCADA systems are windows based. If you need more of a hint than that you are in pretty strong denial.
Also, there's no way in hell that an archaic infrastructure like the power grid is going to just turn around and run something else overnight. The reasons are simple. Change. Computer security changes things and bases the argument for change mostly on hypotheticals. It's easy for people to shoot it full of holes because you can't prove something 'will' happen.
What's worse, is most places don't even know they are cracked. People think since their system booted fine and isn't acting slow, everything is hunky-dory. malware is getting leaner and systems are getting faster and you don't notice when something is hitting the wire, cpu or disk anymore. We're pretty well f#cked on the power grid.

It's not about consumer safety as much as it is about putting a safety *tax* on imported goods.

Perhaps. If you run windows. The lack of cross platform options is a massive fail IMO.

Even more common is finding horrid software (and licensing) behind professional looking websites:

The military would have an advantage now if they were to brodcast bunk video feeds on that channel.

cyber attacks of mass destruction ? Sorry, but this sounds toi familiar. Somebody get the pentagon a frickin firewall and a new AUP.
EA has had this in Command and Conquer Zero Hour for quite a few years now. I'm guessing the U.S. military ripped this off from EA.
fixed.
> Unless you move to infiniband you're not going to touch something like a Stratus
I don't know who makes the infiniband, but the Stratus in only a V6 at best. It's not *that* fast.
Just another consultant hired to slant reality if you ask me.
