Perhaps you should stop overreacting as neither now nor 1979 were really 'bad' by any real sense of the word. Perhaps 'bad' to a spoiled American (I'm American as well) but not bad to anyone who actually has to fight to survive in some 3rd world country.
Uhm, I setup systems like that 15 years before sales or existed and let's be clear, I wasn't doing something 'new'. Cluster aware development isn't exactly something new.
For fucks sake Google was doing it while they were still in school using dorm pcs as the data enter... They built in provisions for I reliability from square one.
as if it was unique when applied to something slashdot related.
The perils of hooking up with people you work with are almost universal, well known and well understood by everyone who doesn't think the universe(s) revolve around them.
If you think you're a good programmer, and you ask silly questions like this, then you aren't. You'll start being a much better programmer when you stop thinking you're special. You aren't, and programming isn't some ultra different job that only a select few can do any more than being sanitation worker is. Likewise, your relationship problems are no different than anyone else's.
Seriously, slashdot posting puppy love stories now? Are you aiming for the 15 year olds who really haven't had a girlfriend yet?
Any place but where I intuitively expect it to be. For 'the definition of wrong place' please use Gimp for approximately half a second and you'll understand the definition perfectly.
The registrar going down doesn't effect your DNS if your DNS isn't hosted by the registrar.
GoDaddy does not how ANY root servers, so GoDaddy can suddenly cease to exist and anyone who uses GoDaddy as a registrar but NOT to host their DNS or other services will not know the difference.
Registrars only provide daily updates to the root-servers as to where to look for the name servers of a domain. When you query DNS, assuming the query isn't cached, your DNS server asks a root server where to go look for the name. If the root server says to go somewhere OTHER than GoDaddy's broken servers, then it'll work fine, even if GoDaddy just vanished, servers and all.
Registrars are just paperwork handlers, I think Network Solutions is the only one who runs a root server these days, all the other roots are done by others, mostly governments as I recall.
Seriously, I had one of those little radio shack electronic lab play toy thingies. Showed how to encode data via LED both visible and infrared, the infrared was a 'fiber' demo those, so you had to stick a fiber in the transmitter and receiver for the link but its really no different. The standard LED version used the red or green LED and the photoresistor right next to it as the receiver.
Its not like it was new then either. This shit is literally 30 years old AT LEAST, judging by the state of those toy kits when I got into it, I'd say they'd been doing it for a while at that point too.
There's no reason apple couldn't write an iOS IDE for the iPad
Except that it would violate their own terms of service,
You do realize when you make such a retarded statement that you're immediately thrown out of the discussion by anyone with a clue right? You're one of those guys that argues the authors of GPL software can't publish their own software on the App store too, aren't you?
You can pretend an android tablet/phone or an iPad is a real computer too, but it isn't and you're just trolling along yourself.
Its mind numbing that you're so blind as to continue to attempt to persist the facade. I have run Linux on an ATmel processor without a MMU by emulating an ARM chip...
And much like programming on your tablet, that too was a stupid idea. Very cool for the geek factor, but for all practical purposes its entirely useless.
You might jot down an idea on a tablet, but you aren't doing any real development. Just because you think what you do is real development doesn't mean it actually is.
Victim? What the fuck is wrong with you? Wearing an anti-TSA shirt through a TSA check point means you deserve to be fucked with. Its fucking rude, but not illegal, you're also rather fucking stupid to not expect that TSA to do THE EXACT SAME THING back to you.
Why do you think you can disrespect someone and walk through there house without getting treated the same way?
Wearing that shirt means he was intending to cause shit, perhaps he's just a douche bag, none the less, he made himself a target.
Should they have been harassed and thrown off the plane? No
Did they deserve it? Certainly. Again, anyone with half a brain would realize that it was a bad idea to do what he did.
Victims are people who get treated badly through no fault of their own. This dude brought it on himself, he's not a victim.
Clearly your experience is typical of iMac use which is why the sell so well, they must all be broken like ONE that you've seen.
Why do people like yourself make such retarded statements about one trivial experience as if its the norm?
Just curious as to why no one at your college was smart enough to have it replaced since you know, it has a warranty and all. Sounds like you went a college full of people too stupid to return a defective product, which leads me to believe theres more to this story than you're telling us.
I have no doubt you had a broken iMac... but your response just makes you sound like a moron.
Impressive... considering you're claiming the EU had a patent office 8 years before it was formed... Its impressive that the EU has government bureaucracy that comes before the government even exists.
Regolith is a layer of loose, heterogeneous material covering solid rock. It includes dust, soil, broken rock, and other related materials and is present on Earth, the Moon, some asteroids, and other terrestrial planets and moons.
So... being that Regolith includes soil... you fucking suck at being pedantic.
If it helps, why not use GPLed code the same way you'd use proprietary software. That is, download it, use it, and pretend that you don't have the right to distribute it at all.
I do, only I have to take it one step further, I have to assume that I can not buy any new licenses either because it may suddenly conflict with my requirements and due to its nature in most cases there is NOTHING that can be done to make license modifications or exceptions when dealing with large projects with many random contributors.
If a company modifies BSD code and doesn't distribute it, they have taken nothing away, they simply haven't given me something they made on their own. I never had their code anyway, so its not being taken away. I still can get the original code they started from, so they haven't taken that away, and I can pretty much use it however I want, its requirements are pretty much 'leave this copyright notice so we get some props in the future man... please'.
Why is this post modded insightful rather than funny?
Who the fuck thinks of doctorow as respected? He's a fucking moron known to regularly sensationalize and lie for attention. If you think he's respected you are VERY naive.
Perhaps you should not live in some city where getting beat up over your iPad is something you need to worry about. You'll have to pardon me that I'm not giving a shit that you got mugged in NYC, its kind of expected.
Mac App Store that removed features such as iCal support, iPhoto integration, and Add-Ons in order to comply with Apple’s Application Guidelines
Which is funny considering the number of apps on the app store that have iCal support, iPhoto integration, and specifically add ons for other apps (I for one author an add on for mail.app that lives on the app store this very day, and apple has never even acknowledged that plugins exist for mail.app.).
There isn't a problem, just shitty developers whining because they can't figure out how to do something, no one has bother to give them example code yet that they could copy rather than figure it out for themselves.
It also askes for permissions to do extra stuff outside the sandbox, and install things like command line tools and hooks for debugging permission without prompting every time.
Which is funny because EVERY APP CAN DO THIS. The sandbox really isn't an issue if you bother to do what Apple says. For ever app thats been kicked out, I've figured out a legitimate way to get around it and stay on the app store.
Its worth pointing out that Instapaper author really isn't pissed about sandboxing, he's pissed because his app is built into the web browser on the OS now, unfortunately slashdot is now nothing more than a money who so they warp the story into a flat out lie. Even the summary and the title show they are out for sensationalism. The title implies a fact that they are in trouble, where as the first sentence posses it as a question.
There is a reason Cmdr Taco left.
I would like to point out that I have an app on the app store that functions as a mail.app plugin, which is CLEARLY WELL outside what you would think is acceptable in sandboxing. You know, like me playing in an OS level apps application bundle rather than my own.
Heh, thats your bitch? The title makes a statement of fact about apple hurting devs yet the actual story or even the summary submitted does not make it a statement of fact but a possibility that may happen in the future.
and it's really this sudden disappearance of the app from the store (meaning you no longer get updates that way) is what stirs up the users.
So you've never used the AppStore and keep listening to rumors eh?
Something being pulled from the store because it doesn't meet new requirements doesn't' result in the developer being unable to provide updates or people being able to redownload it. It simply stops being available for sale. This is the same retarded bullshit that was spread around when they stopped selling that app for autistic people.
Apple has pulled ONE app off the store AND revoked its key so it stopped working on devices, and thats because it was violating security requirements and sending information it shouldn't have been to 3rd party servers... IN CLEAR TEXT rather than SSL.
Any other 'pulled from the store' means 'no longer for sale', nothing else. The reason you won't get updates is because the developers then abandon the app because they don't want to be bothered to meet the requirements and without future sales, theres no motivation for most to actually provide the support they claimed to provide initially.

Lots of people, you just need to find ones that dont' have a stick up their ass, which is rare in the Linux world I realize, but they are out there.

Just for pedantic reference, if anyone 'Likes' or 'does not like' these answers, they aren't scientists.
There is no Like, only facts and theorys. Anything else is religion.
Rule 1, when dealing with people with authority. Treat them with respect.
Funny I thought 'Rule 1' was 'Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech'
Silly me.
Yes, silly you. The two are in no way mutually exclusive.
Can those in power overreact? Sure, but that doesn't make it right.
Can driving your car off a 200 foot cliff into a river kill you? Sure but that doesn't make it right.
Both our statements are equally silly, they are well known facts and restating them doesn't change anything here or help prove a point.
