That would just put so much stress on BIND servers around the world. It can just very well bring down the internet for most of the world. That could easily cause a massive slow down in just looking up domain names since the caches can fill entire databases.
Remember the times when microsoft and SCO had to change their web address to side step being attacked by DDOS for various worms?
If site finder goes up.. All falied DDOS going to old domain names will end up taking those attacks. Guess verisign will be the official decoy for outdated worms. =)
Plus by making things backwards compaitble, you get a lot of free press.
Imagine after the Xbox next comes out, a game company makes a new game for the orginal XBox. In their advertisements, they will say, "Now available for the XBox and the XBox Next.
Bingo.. Free advertising.
It would send jobs created by SPAM to 3rd world countries. The same spam will be there, just all those Americans employed by spam will be out of a job.
The same with the Do Not Call list.
Wasn't the best story wise, but it definately had some of the best FF character designs I've seen.
Best FF bad ass hero: Cloud Best FF villian: Sephiroth Best FF bimbo: Tifa Best FF Mr. T look alike: Barret Most annoying FF kid character: Yuffie Best character no one gives a !@#$ about: Cait Sith Best mysterious but useless character:Vincent
Well..
I guess I just need to create a new program with a obious buffer overflow (static buffer), put it in a shared directory, set the UID to 0, then create a guest account, which I would share with the world because I enjoy getting hacked.
On a more serious note, posting shell code out in the open will only encourage amateur crackers to try. The paper should just be shared within community of people researching computer security.
I wonder if this was posted as a retalliation of all them mac news sites reporting, ha ha, I'm not vulnerable to worms.
Don't forget to count time you spend doing support activities. Such as scouting potential new customers and travelling.
And make sure you are learning something. For your age, the goal of any job should be to better yourself so you can launch yourself into a better job. If you're not learning something you can use to apply yourself to a better job, then it's not worth it.
If you're just repeating the same mindless task, then you're better off working at Taco Bell and at least have a manager and co-workers as good references to your work ethic.
I don't know if you have started yet, but make sure you do some research and make sure it's profitable.
In freelancing, it's easy to get into the thinking that it is more profitable than it really is. Like when you get your first few jobs, you tend not to think about the possibility that you may not recieve any others for a while.
Point is, make sure you are taking in sustained profit, once they start falling short, don't keep your hopes up, realistically look at it from a 3rd investor's perspective and see if its still worth persuing.
Even though we tend to like to think better, keep in mind that most people are happy the way they are. A sales study showed that people do not like making choices, it put unecessary responsibility on them. That said, I don't see the need to spoon feed linux to everyone. Linux isn't really controlled by any central company, it's just there for the mutual benefit of people who want to use it. People who are using windows, probably wouldn't be any happier using linux.
We don't need to set an international linux standard in the hopes of luring potential home users. Maybe if certain distributers like Red Hat and Mandrake were to get together to set standards on consumer linux depoyment, that would be great. It would make things easier on porting priorities. But an international linux standard across the board is unnecessary and limiting.
Everyone has their hopes and think their way is the best way. But there needs to be someone to lay down the law and say what is. I think the best choice for that would be IBM. They're one of the biggest supporters of linux, put alot into it, and can afford to do the market analysis and research into developing standards everyone can live by. IBM can be like what Apple is to BSD.
Then again, I guess this would piss off the existing linux community who like having diversity and enjoy non-conformity.
From another article I read a week ago. The 50 was really for OS 9 and earlier. The old OS is a very insecure OS, with little interms of memory protection, and multi-user access levels, but was left alone given low usage levels.
OS X however inherites from BSD, so it also inherited all the fixes to past problems in BSD, which is mainly used as an Enterprise Unix solution. And also keep in mind it is a new operating system, version 10.2 has only been around for just over a year. That said, it does come with a more secure default configuration, with most services disabled by default, which is the weakness of most Unix and Linux systems, since they're usually deployed as servers and have most of their services on by default.
Mac OS X uses micro kernel technology. This provides better memory protection between applications, and the ability to sperate the OS into different components and levels. This becomes key when updating the OS. Most updates, since it does not involve the micro kernel, a complete system restart isn't necessary. The micro kernel will continue to run while the rest of the OS is patched in restarted, reducing start up time for kernel updates.
Most little things, but together annoy me really bad:
1. No central authority on customer support. Who do I complain my problems to?
2. No standardized UI look. Everything application looks different.
3. No standardized interapplication communication.
4. No standard method of installation.
5. No standard method of uninstalling.
6. No standard configuration. (this makes tech support a nightmare.)
7. No standard libraries (you can end up installing more and mroe libraries each time you install a new application.)
8. No standard method of updating.
9. No official owners manual.
10.No acepted standards in storing configuration settings.
11.No standard hot keys. Ctrl+A does not perform the same functions in all applications.
12.No standardized behavior of UI components. Eg. All text fields do not have the same context menu choices.
That said, now you can see why I'm a Mac advocate. Steve Jobs lays down the law, and we all obey.
I definatly love these features. I wouldn't mind paying for them if I had a 6 figure income. Bur for now with my measly 5 figures, I'll just put up with the unregistered message.
I agree. The iPod is sexier.
When buying personal gagets, you need to consider, "How will I look with this one?"
The iPod just screams trendyness and likes to be admired. Get the ones with the custome engravings on the back, it'll make you look like a million bucks.
It's not a question of running better. From an ariticle I read on this, the main reason is power consumption and heat reduction of switching to a powerpc processor base.
Submarines rely mainly on stealth, the less heat it generates, the less fans are needed for cooling, and the less noise the sub makes.
I guess they could try using ARM, but it wouldn't be as cost effective since less open source software components can't be used.
It makes sense. Better PR than to buy the company and sue sony themselves.. Anything to get an edge in the market.
I wonder if it's the same thing with SCO?
What is it about human nature that want to emulate something else. Why not a more efficent models. The human form is too expensive to emulate, and is not worth the efford given the inefficency of our form. I guess Nerds have too much of a desire to create life that they normally wouldn't create in real life. This is like the vegetarian who likes to eat tofu patties because she craves the real meaty burger on the inside. No, our world has lots of resources, I see the rise of cheap child labor in all nations, not just the 3rd world. This will lead to a new era of cheaper products because we wouldn't be wasting so much time in research and development just roll simple items into the marketplace. The resources are there, why recreate what we have?
Personally, I have a pair of power tubes. They're basically a long tube, similar to the one used me hospitals as a tourniqette with handles on each end. Just step on center, or what ever position suits your resistence needs and start doing curls, gorilla presses, rowing, whatever. It's very flexible and can't pretty much work out your entire upper body. Provides simple strength/endurance training.
It'll be intresting to see how this will compete against a full desktop streaming solution such as VNC or GoToMyPC PocketView - https://www.gotomypc.com/pr/pressRelease.tmpl?Sess ionInfo=3529249/3A8005C2336FF00/null&FileID=031203 &SourceTemplate=pr/pressReleases.tmpl&From =0 coming out later this year.
The advantages with a full desktop streaming solution is that less configuration is needed, and certain desktop streaming solutions such as GoToMyPC and laplink use polling servers so they can by pass most firewalls making them easier to deploy on computers behind a company firewall. It can be faster or slower depending on how much data needs to be transferred.
Sometimes a little experience gets you a long way. Right now I've been doing some small jobs for various university projects at little to no profit, havn't got the job yet, but it's nice having alot of things I can take credit for during my interviews.
Perhaps someone should start a non-profit devoted in making useless widgets which has no useful purpose, but can demonstrate programming ability. And I propose we should call this organization, hyper-global meganet.

Good Point.
I guess the right tool for Kazaa is Windows.

Apple licenced the name from Garageband.com
I love the idea.

Guess it would depend on what you define as higher.
My guess is Google will have a higher market cap.
Pricewise, there is no telling. Is there some way to get information on # of outstanding shares there are?
