  1. Re:this is not surprising on BBC Links Linux To MyDoom · · Score: 1

    I wonder if anyone noticed the warning at the bottom of the article regarding people using such attacks to go with their whims and fancies. Considering the number of internet scandals coming up regarding various vulnerabilities, do not even need that for DDOS attacks sometimes, and codes just available off the net for various such viruses, it is too easy for anyone to blackmail a corporation. Just consider instead of SCO your local bank as the sufferer of the attacks and how much damage that can cause. These latest timed attacked viruses seem the warning of times to come.

  2. Re:Cannonfodder on A Thoughtful Look at Indian Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    Pretty Good Observations. Let me dwell a bit on reasons. Indians by nature have lot more respect for authority, if not in hearts, at least on surface. Hence, I guess the quietness at Video Conferencing and communication barriers. Take into account also cultural barriers. Chit chat is about things which matter to every party. You would not know a thing about cricket, hell I care even less about baseball. Regarding clever part, the education system in East is different than West with more emphasis on basics. And I think in general as in picking random people in both places the skills are likely to be higher on eastern side. Just the way the brain gets sharpened. Similarly, in west the people are more innovative because of exposure rather than having better minds.

  3. Filesystem Plus Plus on Ask ReiserFS Project Leader Hans Reiser · · Score: 1

    I throughly understand the file-system is everything independent of any overlying infrastructure in terms of applications and files, but an interesting thought runs through the head. How about having file-system providing hooks to track what portions are heavily used? The basic idea is some sort of real-time information system. File-system provides the lowest level where 'things happen' and working on that level will cut through all the crap, so to say. I understand that all files are not plain text and file-formats or all the executables loading, but I am talking in terms of only hooks and do not expect the file-system to do that.

  4. Re:Uh oh... on Fast TCP To Increase Speed Of File Transfers? · · Score: 1

    VOD?
    Not sure if that is the way to go to improve VOD. The 6000 increase in their lab will boil down to much-much less on the net, and using TCP will mean halting the stream waiting for a single frame which will still happen because of all the heavy load during peak times or network congenstions. Is video even now the ideal application to be used with UDP?

  5. Re:Impedence mismatches on Grady Booch On Software Engineering · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Of course both are different. They are meant for different things! The question to ask is if they do what they intend to do and does database being different has affected OOP anyway. There are abstraction layers available in any platform for you to work oblivious of the underlying data sources( what ever that might be from databases to text files). Does that really affect me at the programming level.Donot think so.
