It's no more relevant than electricity. IPv6 offers multicasting, really these guys have developed an implementation of a known functionality. I do the same thing in Java every day. The core relevant technology here is in their algorithms.
Using Ipv6? Um, why not also mention "using electricity" and "using gravity"?!? It'd be nice if there were less buzzword usage and more focus on the critical technologies in use.
IANAO, but IMHO extensive time in front of your monitor is likely to just aggravate or expose conditions you already had or were predisposed to having. It is always well-agreed upon that the best therapy is to never do the same thing for too long. Your eyes would be happier if you got up every now and then and took a walk-- maybe walk to the deli for some Jolt or Dr. Pepper.
Btw, I've been sitting closely in front of large CRT and FP monitors for long periods each shot for over 15 years, and my vision is perfect. Not enough data to state anything conclusive, but I'd guess it supports
It's not necessarily a good thing, but it is often the case nonetheless. It is because engineers have a deep desire to figure things out on their own (read: opened up their ataris to the chagrin of their parents).
And, unless there are burning deadlines, managers are used to senior engineers behaving this way, and are okay with it because it is how knowledge is established and is not going to stop anyway.
Most senior engineers I know do not get "hyper-enthusiastic" about anything. The gross majority (pun intended) of hyper-enthusiastic software folk are the softies... ya know, the guys who think VB is the cure-all or who don't have time to learn things in depth. When was the last time you met a true engineer who's primary fault was that they ALWAYS learn things in depth -- analysis paralysis is rarely top-down.
The bottom line is that the majority of programmers are bad programmers. These move to the easiest fad where the majority of people go. And that's not a horrible thing, it's just a thing most senior engineers don't care much about. Because, and I say this after interviewing tons and tons of developers, real devs dig deep on their own, and do not 'rely' on the work of others. And before I get flamed here, it's not to say they don't use the work of others, it's just that I've seen many seniors spend hours trying to figure out how something works, rather than spend two minutes asking for help.
p.s. I think Bruce Eckel is awesome -- "Thinking in Java" is rockin'
The log formats are exactly the same across all the platforms within Trillian. I haven't examined the log formats of older versions of trillian, so perhaps in the past, but at least not since 3.x.
I agree, this sounds mostly like a mac vs. pc thing. Mac users typically love their proprietary software more than pc-equivalents, often, even if unreasonably.
Trillian does all of these things, and much more. Instead of just saying things it SHOULD NOT do, how about moving those things into prefs or optional plugins, via a rich api for plugins.
I think Trillian is by far the best I've seen. I bought the pay version (like $25) because I loved the free version. The pay version is even better, with the best logging/activity history I've seen.
Yes, that's true, however, it doesn't negate the reduction in MD5s value. For one: any system that uses one-way hashed password storage or key generation mechanism, as many sites use, is now some percentage easier to violate because multiple strings may resolve to same hash.
If you want to know what it takes to succeed read "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. The bottomline is that it takes drive, persistence, and organization. All of these traits can be acquired by the willing.
A while back I met a n00b in the IT world, who had passed both A+ and MCSE exams without ever touching a computer. He was West Indian and had purchased books from a local store, studied hard, and passed, again, without ever touching a computer before he got to the US.

The primary difference is that the market (I mean the people who spend money) has developed on both consumer and business fronts. Although the consumer end has been slower to develop, many people feel comfortable ordering online at this point, at least enough to sustain businesses like ours. The business end has seen continuous and rapid growth, thanks to the many operational efficiencies wrought from online purchasing.
In other words: comfortable, aware customers are now more willing to try SnapFood.
The second major change is related to what you suggested, that the market is less crowded. In reality, it's more crowded than ever! However, the fog of confusing business models is clearing due to veteran business people adding the 'net as a channel for their existing businesses. This provides online businesses, with known, offline brands. A strong brand means a recognition, on behalf of the market, of what it is that one does or sells or offers.
Case in point: SnapFood works with hundreds of restaurants, that are known and recognized on the street. These are existing, popular businesses that now transact the same sale, through a new channel (the Internet).
Clear business = less fog. So even though there are more players, there are some businesses with clearer models and happy customers.
As the owner of SnapFood and having been quoted in the original article, I would like to address why SnapFood is succeeding where other companies have tried and failed.
1. The landscape of the online market is completely different now vs. five years ago when other major efforts were made.
2. Our team brings restaurant experience to the online space, where none existed before -- previous entrants to the online market did not have the proper backgrounds.
3. Our teams brings hands-on, technology and e-commerce experience to the food space, where little-to-none was found prior.
4. SnapFood.com has become the ideal "middle-man" between hungry patrons and talents restaurateurs. We make the customer service better, the ordering experience easier and more enjoyable.
For those of you in Manhattan, try SnapFood and please give us your feedback. We are interested!
I think it's neither good or bad, as long as it's within the statute of limitations. I think as long as the process is followed, the timing is not critical. Some companies simply can't move fast.
The jaywalking analogy is not valid. Police failing to enforce the law and courts acting judiciously are totally different. Why do you think there is "case law"? Judicial actions strengthen and weaken written law. Eventually laws get changed.

"Barry Lyndon" !??! I thought that was on the list of Worst-100 movies. I guess I don't share Time's enjoyment of 10 minute pans over wallpaper.
Obviously they have to list Kubrick, but what sense is it to pick that over, let's say "2001" or "A Clockwork Orange"???
