Since Freenet is really about anonymity, I don't think there's going to ever be any authentication happening. That would kind of kill the anonymity model.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't run calendar program though. I refuse to have something running all the time that isn't a necessary system-level service. They just waste cpu/memory 99.9% of the time.
One of my biggest complaints about Ultima Online was that they never sent out any notifications that your subscription was about to expire. They just left it to you to remember to pay them more money as needed.
I wasn't a hardcore gamer so I would easily forget about such things as I did have many other aspects of my life that didn't revolve around the game.
It always bugged me that they couldn't bother to setup a small machine with a 20 line perl script to churn out e-mails.
A year ago I forgot to pay and when I went to logon my account was dead, so I just said screw it and uninstalled it. The in-game problems were enough to make me want to quit, but that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Here's a tip - cars on the road stop or slow down for various reasons.
If you're so worried, lobby that every manufacturer implement this system so everybody slows down at the same time and you don't have these 40 car pileups because people want to drive 80 mph in the fog.
Driving relatively safely is everyones responsibility and my original point was that you can't control the other people on the road anyways.
Bad argument. The person behind you was too close to begin with if that's the case. Secondly, what if you had to step on the brakes yourself, you'd get the same effect if the person behind isn't driving safely.
To be serious, error handling is where most programs really fall short. I don't mind an error occurring because software has certain requirements. What I hate is getting something like "Access Denied" or "Path not found" and then no indication of what specifically was trying to be accessed, makes the error completely worthless. Without proper error handling you might as well make every error say "Whoops, something bad happened, too bad for you".
1.) Don't use Blender as a model.
2.) Putting vowels in command names can be helpful.
3.) If you're a Perl programmer - don't try to cram the whole UI into 2 lines of code just because you can.
As the article stated, it runs along on it's own after being programmed with directions. I would assume the 2 operators are there for the programming and monitoring.
Nice username, you need to make your e-mail and website public for the full effect though.
Anyways, I'm sure that IBM didn't purchase a shrink-wrapped distribution license. I'm sure some people in expensive suits sat around a table and signed formal documents. They didn't purchase software, they purchased a license.
I had just figured 3 days to fix existing bugs with processing a specific file format.
I wasted a whole day trying to figure out how the code was even functioning at all in its current state.
I spent 30 minutes the next day writing a spec for how it "should" work, deleted the existing code and rewrote it from scratch in about 3 hours, spent an hour debugging and it passes all tests and is ready to ship. Added bonuses include the new code being readable, documented, and replaced 4 separate routines with 1 all-purpose routine that is smaller than any one of the previous individual routines.
One thing I've learned is that when I (or anybody else) does the code-guru thing and just assumes that whatever they're writing is so simple it doesn't need to be documented or even spec'd, it usually turns into a maintenance nightmare later on where a rewrite is the only way for most people to handle it. Even if the person maintaining it is the original author.
Ok, so you're a super-parent then. Day and night there's never 2 seconds you're away from you child protecting them from the dangers of the world. Will to sacrifice EVERY bit of life you have to make sure they aren't subjected to deadly television radiation. Man, that kid is going to be sooooo messed up as an adult.
But I'm betting you don't have kids. You need a break. It's unhealthy for you, and therefore your children for you to devote all your time to them. Anybody that tries to shield their kids from such things as real life is going to cause more damage than they realize because those kids are going to grow up and all of a sudden find themselves in a world they've never seen before and don't know how to handle. Interaction is fine, but you need to give them experience with all the different aspects of this world.
Gee, I can just imagine all the fun of sitting around the computer with a bag of popcorn watching notifications popup on your screen that Dave checked in ntwrk_utl_32x-efi-f--e.cpp at 23:45.
Watch out you big media corporations with your lame reality shows, there's a new game in town!
It doesn't matter what people's opinions are on this subject. The people that didn't have the Internet in college can't offer any insight in to whether or not its any easier, or even any different because they only experienced it one way. Same thing with the people that did have the Internet available.
Just look at your own life and see how the Internet has changed things in your daily routines and there's the effect it has kids going to college right now.
All you're really going to get is people talking about piracy and porn when it comes to this topic on/.
Damn, are there any Pascal/Delphi contests out there with a $1400 prize? The only one I've seen lately gave away a copy of a Delphi book for making a Tic-Tac-Toe game.

Maybe your CPU is idle 99% of the time. Mine gets pegged for hours at a time doing 3D renderings. My machine is only 800MHz, so I need every cycle.

Then you find a way to steal 17,000 playstations so you can build a supercomputer, but don't get caught.
You need playstation 2's to develop missle guidence systems.
So how's that NYC cop job working out?
You can afford them!? What company are you the CEO of?
Are you sure? I thought we switched shitting on employees and shareholders for the last couple years.

People are really going to buy your products when you send filthy birds to fly in potential customers faces and take a shit on their head.
Why don't you feed them non-digestable pellets with the Acclaim logo on them too.

Why not? MS put IIS in the kernel of 2003. They know what they're doing, right? I mean, they said they really, really made sure it was secure.
SP3 killed my machine. Here's a tip, don't play minesweeper while waiting for the service pack to install, you won't be able to boot again.

I'm all for that.
