Yeah; Texas Hold Em last week, and it was my first time playing. I was at a table full of people who play all the time, and I owned them! It made me happy, but made they other guys a little... angry.
I'm not saying that we'd throw away the kernel, but rather that if it updates itself there may be bugs in the patch itself.
But I probably misread parts of it, too. Sorry for any confusion.
Wait a sec... if the kernel updates itself in real time (if I'm reading this correctly), wouldn't that make everything very unstable? Without ample testing, the rock-solid linux kernels would be bug-riddled and unreliable. On the other hand, the kernel _fixes_ would come instantly too... this is a very interesting concept.
Maybe it's just me, but hasn't this news already been reported? It doesn't look like it. It's really amazing in my opinion how much propoganda and the media can turn us. This came as no surprise to me, and in fact, I initially had an urge to scream "repost!". It can't be good how swayed I've been by the occasional TV and news online.
Gossip goes a long way; now I question how much my other knowledge of politics is truth or lies.
Looks like they stole the page layout from Ask Jeeves; I see that they have a Mozilla Plugin. If enough people use Clusty with Firefox (since it is booming, after all), or it becomes a standard option, they could really make it big. I think that their biggest opposition is simply people wanted to stay "loyal" to Google- or just have used Google for so long, that they don't want to change. I'm sad, though- I didn't show up on the Gossip search!
For a second I thought nobody would be able to shoehorn a microsoft bash in on this story, but alas you've saved the day with this piece of trite nonsense, you even got some inbred to mod you up.. Well done, sir!
I don't consider my statement a "Microsoft bash" in the least! Isn't it true that Microsoft has downgraded the features in Longhorn (such as WinFS) to meet its 2006 release date? I'm by no means Microsoft bashing- in fact, I'm on Windows XP right now. Try to think first before you accuse.
Shouldn't you be happy for them? If they're sold out, it means that people are buying, which means that there's a market, which means (according to supply and demand) that there should be more companies like this one.
I think that this is very interesting. Being in San Diego (I work as a contract worker for the San Diego Supercomputer Center), I think this might be something I should check out. It sounds like an interesting idea, anyway... let's see how it works in practice.
Why *wouldn't* you hire him? He isn't really a "black hat" or "cracker", since he isn't technically a hacker... but his programming skills must be pretty good in order to code such a deadly virus (or was it technically a worm?). I'd hire him as a programmer, but definitely not as a network security guy. Just because he can write an exploit into his own code doesn't make him a security pro. It's really not that hard, unfortunately.
Obviously, this links Microsoft to terrorism. Could there be any more conclusive evidence!?
Seriously, though, LAX needs to start to learn to check on integration stuff before they implement it into one of the biggest airports in the world. If I recall correctly, a recent radio commercial for some TV show or movie described it as "a city in itself". I would have thought they would have tested a little bit more before implementing this stuff.
That's pretty cool; I didn't even know that BBC had programmers (other than their own TV and web coders, obviously). That's pretty cool. I suspect that the BBC will be releasing much of it's news on this codec... glad that my trusty old MPlayer will have it:)
I like the musing of one of the open source community's finest: Eric S. Raymond's Blog. Although I don't necessarily agree on all of his politics, he does give an interesting read...
I think the BBC is making the source code theft a log bigger deal than it actually is. "Cisco hardware helps the net keep going". They make it seem almost as if someone controls Cisco, they control the internet. That's simply not true; a lot of other hardware keeps the 'net going as well. Like Slashdot's servers!
Not even the Slashdot Effect... just a boring old 404. If anyone has a link that works, please, let us know! Kind of mean of the host to remove the file after it's been slashdotted...
Unfortunately, just like last year, ToorCon is on the Jewish High Holidays. Last year it was on Rosh Hashanah, and this year it's on Yom Kippur. Kind of sucks for us Jewish hackers. Since this made me sad, I emailed h1kari (one of the founders), and it looks like next year that change should be made.

I think he means that it would be the exact opposite of a TV satellite for example, in that it would constantly be over different parts of Earth in order to focus on one point in space... did that make any sense?
The thing that keeps me awake nights is: What happens if some disgruntled ex-employee (there are two floating around out there) decides to seek vengeance against us by targetting us in an extortion scheme?
Well, if it is in fact a disgruntled ex-employee (as some many modern cyber attacks are), then don't worry about it: just accuse one, and you have a 50% chance of hitting the right one! Seriously, though, you should set up a temporary fix so you don't have to worry about it- at least until you can permanently secure your systems.
First off, I'd like to say congrats to the Mozilla Foundation, cause damn- great browser, and a lot of downloads for 100 hours...
What I want to know is how SpreadFirefox.com measures the downloads. Is it just run by the Mozilla Foundation and counts the download link? That's most likely, but it does approximate... I hope this isn't just propoganda.
Lastly, I wonder how many of these downloads are people that download it, install it, and then delete it and switch back to IE? Although that seems ludacris to me (I love Firefox), I'm sure that the IE addiction remains. I hope that this counter represents growing popularity, and not just geeks with 0.9.3 upgrading to 1.0...
Slashdot Mirror
Obviously, the site gave itself a huge load to see into the future of the Slashdot effect.
If the servers were being attacked, slashdotting it wasn't helpful.

... sounds like Microsoft with Longhorn, except these guys are actually missing the deadlines rather than just lowering the quality of their work.

Oh, you could have at least included a little bit of microsoft bashing, it is not an option, it is your duty!
Okay, uh... Wow, Microsoft sucks at everything and needs to die!!
How was that?
If Bill Gates runs for President, I'll be very sad. "We're not a monopoly... but, uh, we will be your rulers! Where do you want to go today?"
