Why would you download a HD movie at 50 GB, when matroska encoded HD movie (including AC3 5.1 audio track) is between 4 and 8 GB? Sounds like a waste to me. Other audio tracks can be downloaded separately.
I would love that. Turkey doesn't bring anything to the table! EU would be better off without Turkey. Having an official representative from Turkey telling EU to "Go fuck yourselves" would most certainly put an end to any membership negotiations. But not that I care that much. My contry is not a member either. Though Norway -would- bring something to the table, were we to join EU.
I've tried it... And how people work with huge textfiles on Mac is for me a mystery. Textmate is not the answer. You actually believe that Textmate "rules" Ultraedit? Have you tried both programs? =/
If we just could get UltraEdit for Mac/OSX I would be all set. It's the only reason for me to still keep a WinXP computer around. I haven't been able to find any "text editor" for OSX which comes even close to UltraEdit. Got a 200MB XML-file or 300MB CSV-file? No problem, opens in 2 seconds in UltraEdit. Most OSX based programs kill themselves in the most horrible ways when you drag that file over to the application. Fixed column files? Column editing? ASCII/Hex (binary) editing? Increadibly fast, easy, intuitive and powerful search for file, open files and folder/subfolder? Intelligent cursor movement? UltraEdit has it all... And much much more.
What do you guys use with OSX? BBEdit is like 5% of UltraEdit, but it's still problably the best you get for OSX... Which is actually quite sad =/
Well... Going to keep on sending e-mails until Ultraedit is released for OSX =D
It's surprising to see how much bandwidth online games actually use. Having an X360 in the house and also one or two computers which are used for online games, the MB goes by extremely fast. I think we have been over 100KB/s (up and down) with just playing online games. No uploading/downloading of files.
Take Counter-Strike, which is usually tweaked to use as much bandwidth as possible without compromising latency.
Have you seen the install menu of Ubuntu server? You do realize that "LAMP server" is just -one- option?
"Someone is asking how to install Ubuntu without GUI and the answer is to install it with a full webserver stack." No. The answer is to boot the install CD and choose between a few easy to understand options, where one option will give you a ready to use Ubuntu LAMP server. I've got a prette decen test server here, running VMWare, with CentOS, Fedora, Trustix Secure Linux and Ubuntu Server, and right now, Ubuntu Server is the one which I find easiest to install and make ready for our production servers. Ubuntu Server comes with all necessary tools installed, if you choose the "LAMP Server"-option mind you, (openssh, apache, php, mysql, python, perl) and no unnecessary tools installed. So far it's been very stable too. As stable as it can possibly get...
"stable, well-proven... " I've yet to see, say, a well written and stable ERP system. In Norway some of the more popular ERP/logistic and sale-systems are CS (Client System), Movex, Visma Unique and IBX. Systems which are just "ok". Terribly modules, inane logic, most likely a lot of bad code all over, but since it's closed source it's impossible to tell. From all the errors (some, really strange), lack up updated documentation and integration specifications, system resources used, and just from looking at the system documentation, you can easily tell that the systems are not "state of the art".
What most of these complex systems really are, are a collection of small modules of which many are most likely writtin at different times, by different people, for different projects and just barely working together. The companies developing the systems probably have thousand and tens of thousand bugs and points for optimizations which will never be fixed. Any work done on these systems which is not directly connected to a new deployment and paid for by one or many customers are simply a loss for the company. Much of the "valuable" experience people get from using such a system, is actually how to use it without breaking it/how to use it despite all bugs, errors and strange quirks and twists.
What my small company has been busy with the last years, is to move a lot of logic and data outside such systems. Because it's just to expensive to try and "upgrade" these huge behemoths. We develop external databases to store different data feeds, most likely recieved in XML-format which some of these systems is not capable of using. Actually, one of those systems are only capable of importing/exporting data with fixed lenght ASCII-files.
I don't see any less work needing to be done on these systems in the coming future. Rather, the need for more developers working both inhouse and independent, to patch them up, make small adjustments here and there, and/or write "connectors" for logic/data processing will probably increase.
Then you don't have a good memory... Actually, it's really bad.
"The whole "duct-taped flashlight" joke didn't even kick in till weeks after the game's release." I know I posted about this, the same day the game was to be released. I know the one reason for not buying the game, was that it was just so boring and nothing like what was promised. I know a lot of other people who also didn't buy the game, because it just wasn't any good.
"D3 is also a prime example of what piracy does to sales." D3 is a prime example of what a lousy product does to sales.
"If the ISO came out the day Doom 3 was released to retail, I bet piracy numbers would've been a lot less." That might be, but then again, I would have actually wanted to physically hurt Carmack and the rest of the fuckers for making me waste money on a that pile of crap. So, what you are saying, is that it would be MUCH better for A LOT of people to get fooled into buying a shitty product, than for one company, long past it's glory days, to not earn boat loads of money from a that shitty product?

My experience with Joomla/Mambo code base is that it's about the same level as Os-Commerce's. Which is about has bad as it can get... Drupal is like a new breed of sysem when considering the code.
In two weeks we (I and someone else from my company) are going to VMWare presentation. We are already using VMWare, but currently only for testing. Our plan is to move several systems over to a few new servers (from Dell) running VMWare with Linux guest OS's. Why is VMWare doomed? I can't see the connection between anything MS does and what VMWare get from us...
Right now, we've got one computer left here running Windows. The rest are all OSX or Ubuntu.
You go after the largest one. When the small ones see that the leader goes down, they sure won't try to the same. I know, I know. It's hard to understand. You would probably choose the smalest one possible, ban it, an then hope that the larger suppliers of DRM proteted music will follow suit. When I think about it, that sounds really smart. Good idea!

God lord... You are so right! There is nothing more to this case. You summed up everyghing. I agree. "Case closed" Too bad no one listened to you.
I'm looking forward to more comments from you on other things which matters.
Change it so that the "home" and "end" buttons do the same things in ALL programs. It's so fucking annoying right now. To get to the end or the beginning of a line, you sometimes have to hit the "end/home"-substitutes, or apple-end/home-substitutes, or apple-left/right-arrow keys. In Windows every program recognizes Home/End, and takes you to the beginning or the end of the line. Combining this with the shift-key to select text, makes the Mac even worse.
In our history, changes good or bad, have come when people in high positions have died. We all know which people will benefit from "imortallity", the rich and powerful. I don't like the idea of dictators living for 200 years...
As for the illegal part. In the job advert, just include a tiny line with the text "applicants might be credit checked". For my part, I'm sure it would work i my favor. Because I know I have a very positive credit history.
Unless the job involves paying bills out of my own pocket, then one has nothing to do with the other. No. Most jobs involves the worker having to handle a companies assets, in one way or another. Having zero economic responsibility doesn't really help. You know... The CV, the appliance, the interview, credit check, and what not, it all adds up and help you form a picture of the applicant.
Having someone who can't take responsibility for their own economy, doesn't seem smart to me. Having a bit of economic control is important for a software engineer too. I would want someone who -could- later take on the role of running a software project, manage their own project budget, not run rampant with the companys credit card when on field trips...., based on that person's past experience of paying others back The past experience of dealing with other people/companies is for me EXTREMELY important. You can't possible have many good connections with other people/companies if you owe them money.
As others have pointed out, there are countless ways to have bad credit without having made poor decisions in your life Countless? Really? Maybe you might have been unlucky somehow. But I think the odds are in favor of you not being very responsible and in control of your personal economy.
