The questions of What, Why and How are so fundamental to humans as humans that nothing short of total omniscience will ever replace the logical process represented by the scientific method.
There's a lot of 'faith' in this statement.
1) Human > logical being
2) Logic > Science
So: I am sorry but to expect that science answers any, 'What' 'Why' or 'How' is just to expect too much. Science has his limits, probably some philosofy and empaty will also be needed.
You'd advise hosting a serious website on an ADSL line + consumer router?
No, no. It was just an answer to the assertion that to have a web server on wild bad internet was something difficult. If you stay at the private-modest level is not that hard.
My solution to the router 'problem' is to have two. Different brands/hardware, but the fact is that I only needed once in more than five years online 24/7 ( well 23.9/7 thanks to the ADSL thing..:) ).
I think you missed the point. That's a home based setup, it's not a web server farm. The point is KISS and you can be reasonably safe (the original comment). Minimize the surface attack (leave open only needed ports (ej. http & smnt), and do the router management only from the inner side of the router).
About holes in firmware, that's exactly my opinion when I hear colleagues talk a bout expensive firewalls routinelly being replaced. Holes in firmware are identical to hole in software, just keep things updated.
That's not theory, I been running those setups for years without a glitch, serving thousands of pages each day. The static content factor it's probably the most important aspect in my experience. To keep things updated, is a duty not a problem.
Great, just waiting for KDE 4.x to stabilize usability/features, and we'll have a real killer graphic/desktop programming. Next is having major game makers to use it as his base platform.
The problem is that you both are arguing about 'ideas' (physical laws) and 'reality' (observed nature). Both concepts share a single source, that's human perception, (cultural stimulus processing) but in our days those term have a very different scope. That's where the problem arises, and dicothomy between 'laws' and 'reality' becomes something 'real'. A little philosofy could help to understand that we build 'world images', 'mental representations', 'imago mundis' to talk about things, these images, no matter how exact we think they are, are not the thing being observed or perceived, just our representations.
Take the concept 'time'. Current interpretation is a somewhat lineal property of experience, not space bounded. Does we 'know' what time is? Clearly not. Does we know time exists? We suppouse the anwser to be yes, but that's just a cultural construct, inherited from our ancestors, our culture. Now we build upon such an undefined concept, the net result is that our knowldege, our science is more about how we perceive the world to be, than how we know the world to be. Pretending both to be the same, equating perception/stimulus and reality/representation, that's the problem.
Too much attention to testing indicates poor code understanding, no test can detect architectural-design failures. Is hard to say-it but IMO current testing practices are a clear indication of how low medium programming skills are. Test don't add knowledge, they just check for already know questions.
It reminds me a tipical source of problems. Libraries being used without proper understanding of what's going on inside the libraries code.
A program (flash player) allows to write to an uncheked addres, that's all.
Add a simple check, and the problem is gone. It's the end of the world as we know-it?
Well, Google obviously has something to say about this offer, but what about IBM?
Will IBM let a big part of the internet bussiness shift easily to MS's hands? I find-it hard to believe, for my part I do expect an IBM movement from now on.

Not my opinion sir. I've have medicals in my familty, that's exactly what they say.
Shit?
I think yes.
But pharmaceutical labs do prefer to investigate chronic treatment drugs than vaccines. Big shit!
Medical labs prefer to center his research in ways to convert fatal diseases into chronic ones. Is this an 'advance'?
Obviuosly Yes,
but does it mean that labs get a lot more sales?
Obviously Yes.
I am sorry, but 'rich' and 'charity' does not fit well. I prefer no 'rich' and no 'charity' at all.
that it can give some approximation at how many times your site is appearing in a search result page.
Something google et al could already suply with a public rss feed
But then... your comment would still be pertinent? :)
Apply apropiate transform function to the sensors data stream, and you could hear 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds' if you would...
So what?

another obvious history.
I am sorry Google, but your ad bussines model will be terminated by random page requests. It is alraedy happening, no 'pseudo' articles will help.
is getting out of control.
That's AI. I am fine, thanks, just rambling outside the complexity frontier. See ya soon.
Did you ever heard about something involving two cats?
The only detected problem was the noise...
A beautiful example of how spread and mixed the human cultures are, is:
Unexpected faces in Ancient AmericaNo, no. It was just an answer to the assertion that to have a web server on wild bad internet was something difficult. If you stay at the private-modest level is not that hard.

Not so hard, ADSL + NAT(on router) + Linux + Apache + mod-security + static content
Now, managing users... that's hard!
So, don't use it, *******.
Mandriva is still better IMO.

It's not GNOME, it's KDE.
Reality exists, then we observe it.
That's an axiomatic statement. It cannot be prouved or disprouved.
Reality is not dependent upon human observation.
Strip the 'human' word and then define 'reality' without using the 'observation' concept, and you could have something.

No, it was because He used C++ and garbage collection. Guess what dark matter is, it will be a funny time when it will be collected!.

Let's wait and see..
