Of course there's gonna be problems. Imagine if in the 1400's the entire would could see in real time every splintered mast, frayed rope, broken rudder, or lost anchor on columbus' voyage. Expect this kind of stuff in the exploration of a region un-mastered by man.
Sorry, but I don't buy that. Lets assume that the 20 submarines carrying these actually get past our detection grid and line themselves along the Atlantic seaboard. First off, it would have to be a suicide mission for all those on the subs. Figuring a 20 person skeleton crew each, thats 400 people having to get out of the range of 20, 100mt bombs spread over a few hundred miles--not gonna happen. Secondly, the underwater fallout would completely destroy all sea life in the Atlantic, ergo no fishing in the North and the destruction of global seafood market. That scenario belongs in Kubrick film, not in reality. No offense to the parent.
Washington Mutual used token-ring networks in most of their branches until 2003. I was a bank teller when they upgraded from OS/2 Warp machines on a Token-ring to Windows XP on Ethernet.
I work at a nation-wide video rental store that claims to have a "family enviroment." At least, that was the reasoning behind not carring any X-rated titles. A few days ago, when the GTA porn hack went "public", we pulled all our copies off the shelf and called customers asking them to return the game for a full refund.
To me thats bull. I mean, if you're already renting a game where one can kill hookers, steal cars, and shoot up police, whats a 30 second porn scene that requires a patch to activate!?
By the way, I must also note, we still have all our copies of the Playboy Mansion game on the shelf. Yet, it seems to be much less popular then GTA.
I'm currently a freshman student going for a B.S in Computer Science. Now, I will admit that I dont have the same expirence in the coporate world as many of you all have had, however, I am dual-majoring in Philosophy.
I originally considered dualing with an MBA but thats what *everyone* has. I like to think (and hope) that in the coporate world, individuality counts for somthing. If 30 programmers apply for a position, all having CS/Business degrees and 1 applys with a CS/Philosophy degree, I would hope the Philosophy guy would get the position.
Now, I also chose Philosophy because I think its fun. Part of going to school is not just learning to help you in the job market, but to actually better yourself through knowledge. I would suggest find somthing that interests you and go for that.
I found it interesting that on the screenshot, 3 or the 4 artilces shown were pro-MS.
The first, "Gates Promises Interoperable Software" which shows how MS will start writing software that work on other OSes.
The second, talks about how MS is starting a new offensive on piracy, pushing its Genuine Advantage program. If you have a valid MS License, you can get rebates and other perks.
The third, "Spoofing flaw found in non-IE browsers" Pretty much speaks for itself.
Interesting, no? We've always known or suspected AOL and MS were bed-partners but its not likely that they did that without first consulting MS. Could the new battleground be MS/AOL vs Linux/Netscape (assuming Netscape doesnt fux0r everything again).
I played GTA Vice City for hours on end! For the next few weeks, whenever I saw a stoplight turn red and the cars would stop, I'd look for the best way to jump the curb to burn the light and miss crossing cars. One time I saw a motorcycle coming up from behind me and I thought about the fastest way of chaseing it to knock the guy off and steal his ride.
For a while, driving became entertaining again for me!!!!
A friend of mine works at CompUSA and they had the pre-N's a few weeks ago for testing. They had an unencrypted pre-N router set up in the tech-shop in back, and half way through the day, they got a call from the Starbucks Coffee 200 yards away and arround a corner (note: that all the buildings are made out of gnarly cinderblock and cement) that said the pre-N was giving customers a better connection then their own t-mobile hot-spot pay-to-surf router and please turn it off. The thing has crazy power!
This seems to be turing into an all out war! Im a CS student in college and we're learning Java now, but in my CS class in High School, it was C++. I never became advanced enough to really compair C++ to anything, espically C. Could someone recomend a book or online article that fairly debates C vs C++, perhaps in terms a n00b level programmer could understand?
Here we go again! I cant wait for the next "google rumor of the week."
"Google has been said to have tested their own Google-brand cold fusion ractor, codenamed GFuse. However, this comes with little fan-fare as next month they are expected to unveil their anti-matter warp core and time travel device."
Man, I've tried to watch G4 and its just lame! TechTV actually had some intelligence and class. The Screen Savers were awesome and actually taught me a few new things. I really hope they keep most of the cast. But, like someone said before, without TechTV, I'll have no need for digital cable. Perhaps everyone should write letters to Comcast in protest.
I think since both the Moz project and *bird projects are aproaching major relese points (2.0 and 1.0), I suspect that the Moz 2.0 'suite' will contain *birds 1.0.

I personally feel that any open source app that can replace a niche monopolized by a closed source app is a step in the right direction.

Gentoo founder and former Gentoo Chief Architect Daniel Robbins began a new position at Microsoft on 23 May 2005.
Just an incorrect paraphrasing from the original article.
