This is most unfortunate since the UltraSPARC line was extremely efficient. Under heavy loads even an UltraSPARC II with 128MB of RAM could outperform an Intel chip with ten times the RAM.
Hm... These are all user functions. This tells much about the people who unknowingly propagate worms and viruses.
I overheard this Help Desk call-in at work. It came from an office (read: high-paid individual).
Hello, IT? I just received an email that had an attachment. I didn't know what it was so I clicked on it and now people are calling me saying I'm sending out a virus...(silence)...Well, I thought I recognized the person listed in the From: field but now that I look at it again I have no idea who this person is....
It's not different because you can turn this feature on or off depending on whether or not you want to watch those scenes. Personally, I think it's a good alternative and having a choice is good. The Matrix Reloaded is a good example of a movie where the gratuitous sex scene completely detracted from the flow and purpose of the movie. That scene could easily be deleted with no value lost.
Actually, you have that backwards. The cost of producing the software not only includes the embedded software in the missile but also the fire control system, launcher system, satellite link software for in-flight mission updates, etc. The full development of all that software PLUS the cost of testing with both simulated hardware and test flights far outweigh the average unit cost of $1.4 million.
What an incredible journey that was. It also shows how destructive a poor engineering design can be. Hundreds of thousands dead. Amazing. This was truly a moving exprience.
A good security policy is paramount. This book does a good job pointing out some not-so-obvious places that are often over-looked in our haste to meet deadlines.
One thing's for sure: this man has never worked as a sniffer on board a submarine! If he had, he would have lost that keen sense of smell. After a deployment, even the crew's loved ones have a tough time being around them! It's like a gym locker room that never gets cleaned.
I think so as well. That "safe" feeling often leads to what psychologists call Crowded Lonliness, i.e., to be surrounded by many people yet not interacting with them (except to divert your vision from them).
And that's an important aspect as well. I suppose what I was getting at was that people use iPods and Walkmans to escape from social interaction with most people they know. For example, I don't allow my children to listen to their Walkmans while they are in the car because that time can be better spent getting connected with one another.
It is sad that people do this because if you can't think for yourself you're just a drone for someone elses doings. As technology increases, our ability to stretch our brain decreases.
Dr. Bull's work reminds me of Sweden's social engineering efforts. How we use something, how far do we go to utilize the device(s), etc.
Dr. Bull says, "It gives people totally private worlds." While that may be true, it also removes people from social interaction, which is vital for mental health.
No. They don't need to use it and they admit that it only addresses a small part of the needed security policy. It's just a research project. In fact, without installing custom software, it won;t even meet a fraction of the NISPOM, Chapter 8 requirements. The only system you'll see NSA "endorse" on government projects is Trusted Solaris. It doesn't get any more anal than that OE. Every aspect of a user's profile (access rights, etc.) is controlled. Indeed, the root user is nobody special.
If you've never setup a TSol box, consider yourself lucky. Of course, if you've ever setup TSol correctly the first time, consider buying lottery tickets because the odds are about the same.;-)
Bonus! I get mod'd offtopic for saying I can't get there! Wahoo! Who da man? LOL!
Maybe I should have mentioned porn or something like that. Not that it's relevant or anything but I have noticed that the more you mention porn the higher a post gets mod'd.
I try to follow the link from work and our firewall has it blocked. If I'm real stupid, I can try the link three or four more times so that IT can start an investigation into my web viewing habits. Wahoo!

I hope no one buys their stock.
I never said they were cancelling everything. I just meant that it was unfortunate that development was stopped on the V.

Bingo. One aisle over from the office mentioned. :-)

If you check MS's website, you will see that the Solaris version is no longer available and hasn't been for a long time.

We have become the "entertain me now" generation.
Indeed.

What's funny is that I'm one of the admins.

Can't you just feel the love?
Can you tell it's an election year?
