Files sent to a mobile are relatively small, even in the case of video due to the size of the screen, and mobile bandwidth is expensive. Bittorrent, on the other hand, is designed to save bandwidth for the server, not the client.
Not any more. I've got an HTC S710 a.k.a. HTC Vox and this baby has WiFi and a slot for MicroSD, which run to 1+ Gb. I think it's nice to snort a slow torrent through the phone during the night.
What's next, chains to the desk? In all seriousness, I have the feeling that if you start punching in and out, you'll get people working exactly 9 to 5.
Eh? I've never had a job (that is, after finishing college) where I had to start on a certain time. You just drop on between 7-10 AM and work for the hours required. Where do you work, in a store? Or on a helpdesk?
HAHAha, I've seen you post some insightful stuff man, that's why I tagged you as a friend. But otherwise, I'd never seen this post since you're modded DOWN, baby DOWN!!
when shown the results of a psychological experiment, most people think the results were obvious. And yet - when people are asked to predict the results of those same experiments, they're no better at it than chance.
I could've told them that. That research funding could've been spent a hell of a lot better.
That's right on the spot. I've seen several questions on forums where my answer was in the line of "Such-and-such and you may want to google for SQL injection".
I know this is of small note, but I thought I'd mention it all the same (after all, it's not often that us lowly language editors have anything relevant to post to Slashdot!).
No, it's not of small note at all. I'm a tech person and appreciate correct usage of language, and I've seen many people with the same preference. In fact, the 'grammar nazi' is a well known type of poster here and although I don't participate in the nitpicking, I like some off-topic discussion about the finer points.
I've tagged you as a 'friend', so any of your future posts get an additional 5 points so they always show up when reading comments (it's a Slashdot feature).
I totally agree that it's not that simple. However, if there's a real peak, I'd bet real money that the turnover with extra money-making features will be lower than without those.
When the peak hits, why don't e-commerce sites switch to a simpler interface? The gazillion queries that these sites do for one page can be completely switched off. For instance, I'd rather be able to put a book in my shopping cart WITHOUT stuff like: - "people who bought this article, also bought" - Full text search - Customer reviews - Editorial review - Offers "Buy together with hacksaw, 15% off"
And the gazillion datamining queries done by the website.
Cricket Liu is a real authority. He's one of the authors of DNS and Bind which is the must read for anyone administrating a domain server. Just following the first couple of chapters and you'll have a robust server.
What I also like about Cricket Liu (and Paul Albitz) is that they explain the domain name system really well in an understandable way.
If I was into ebooks, I'd probably prefer reading them on a PSP because it's screen is wide. For reading, a wide screen is more important than a tall or square screen... IMO.
Then why do newspapers have columns? You don't want a wide screen. DTPers know that when lines exceed roughly 66 characters, people will have more difficulty switching their eyes to the next line.
Hehheh yeah I know the drill, I've worked at Oracle NL. The two guys doing License Compliance had nothing to do with Sales. I had a chat with the compliance guy once; he actually had lots of fun forcing clients into compliance:-/
My tone seemed a little harsh in the parent post. Anyway, the single digit LVM performance hit is pretty well known. But the main point is that this particular problem is pretty much solved.
I wasn't really clear, but I was working at the time in the business unit that did projects (for hourly rates) for customers. So there is no lock-in argument there. I agree that such a business unit could have the purpose 'no projects with MS software', that seems a bit odd. What was especially funny was the PHB not knowing about C# at all.

You want a storm? Forget your wife's birthday, that'll bring a storm.

Yep! And the mistress keeps whippin' until the Perl coders can see the raw bytecode in the already obfuscated scripts!
I seriously use Perl on a daily basis in my regular job, but for freelance stuff no Perl is to be seen in a 100 mile radius. It's PHP everywhere.

I concur :-)
No, it's not, RTFA. The article summarizes the current state of affairs concerning the BSA.
For some strange reason this post was modded -1 flamebait. I got the metamod and selected 'unfair'.
Both my current and previous employer has supplied me with a Debian desktop. No Ubuntu so far...
*laughs* Let the flame war begin
