I would think that people applaud Microsoft failures and screwups because of the distaste for Microsoft's business practices. I know my personal distaste for the company outweighs my desire to lower the number of internet threats.
Well.. That's not entirely correct. I don't want to see Microsoft absolutely collapse. I want to see them adopt a more consumer-friendly approach to software development and close up security holes. I will admit that I think the Windows GUI is more refined than any other and i like that.. But what was my point, again? I'm lost.
He has faith. He has faith that his faith is the one true faith in the only correct faith that his faith is the correct faith.. ad infinium
In my years of study and ponderance on the existence of any sort of god, I feel that religion is simply the blind leading the blind. Worse yet, it's all based on fantasy and a simple desire for there to be more. Well, sorry.. but there is no evidence that there's anything passed death. And don't give me any fantastical "evidence" either.
You creationists take the few sandgrains of "prrof" that evolution doesn't occur and try to topple a mountain of prrof that it does. I ask you this.. How does a virus mutate and become resistant to medications? EVOLUTION! Haven't you ever had more than one flu shot?
And as far as finding alien radio transmissions, I don't expect to find them in my lifetime.. and I've got a good 60 to 70 years left in me. But hopefully I'm wrong. As such, I run the SETI@Home client.
Is this guy dead on or what? All major news sources are almost worthless. After dumbing down the information for the masses and then throwing in the spin and bias of writers and editors, modern news sources spew a lot of nothingness. As this post's parent correctly points out, this is not news. We all know WiFi is a security threat to computer networks (but we also know that can be mitigated).
I want a truly intelligent and intellectual news network/newspaper that sincerely presents news and is not a propaganda machine. I want news that is thoughtful, informative, and really hits the "nub of the issue." However, any media source is out to do one thing.. make money. Consequently, they try to appeal to the largest number of people possible and thus must result to dumbing down their content for laymen. It is truly unfortunate that people are not smarter.
Any decent IT manager knows that wireless networks pose a security threat, but precautions can be taken to eliminate these threats. Just some thoughts: 1) Anyone with a wireless laptop gets placed on a completely different subnet, 2) use WEP to keep out the idiot hackers 3) place a firewall and other security devices between the wireless portions of your network and anything important 4) etc. Point is, wireless is only a major issue for morons.
..., my school, is mostly Linux and UNIX (Solaris, to be exact). Sure.. we've got some Windows machines for some of the civil engineers (Who CAN'T build a bridge?), but I would say the ratio is almost 4 to 1. We've even got a few supercomputers in the building which certainly aren't running Windows!
It was never in doubt that water ever flowed on the planet. Perhaps you guys have forgotten about the obvious riverbeds, down-cutting, and other water-induced geologic features that cover the planet. I've never questioned whether water ever existed on Mars. Hell, it's frozen in the ice cap, is it not? Yes.. I would call this old news. I even question whether this is news at all!
They aren't developing this kernel anymore, rigt? So release it to the world and let OSS developers have fun with it. Who knows? Perhaps we'll be able to improve things beyond what Microsoft did and perhaps we'd even release an OS built around it. I, personally, would love to play with it..
Not that GWB ever sees emails. He must have an army of people checking his email and giving him anything important. That said, my guess is that the President of America dosen't pay any attention to any email. I mean, can you imagine Vlad. Putin or Tony Blair sending him an email to discuss how much fun they had over the weekend alone "imminent terrorist threats"?
Man.. Would a geek revolt be sweet or what? Geeks really do own the world.. in a figurative sense, anyway. I know that in my own little geek domain, I could seriously damage over 500 businesses here in my city with a simple

We geeks hold more power in our hands than people may realize. Hell, our office flooded about a year ago which resulted in complete data loss (boss-man wouldn't take my recommendations on storing our data servers off of the floor..
But back to the topic at hand.. "Illegal" MP3s are here to stay. The cat is out of the bag and no amount legislation will put it back in there.
Yeah.. and once Firebird/fox/penguin/goatse gains 70% of the marketshare, we'll have exploits coming out of the woodwork like crazy! Now, I'm no MS apologetic.. just a realist.:-\
Scrolling for in/out movement doesn't seem natural. I say to hell with the interface all together. When I can strap something on my head, think about what I want to happen and then it happens, I'll be impressed. It is this point that I think computing will become intuitive for most people.
Firstly, I have graduated high school AND am now working on a Master's in CS. (gasp!!) As far as this syndrome business, I see these so-called "syndromes" s merely deviations from our current norm. Which means no freakin' syndrome. He's merely different. Psychologists and psychiatrists like to think they're important and thus have a big giant book describing a billion different "syndromes." it's all crap. Variation is natural and inevitable. Perhaps this guy is merely a step ahead of everyone else in evolution. Perhaps a step behind or off to the side. The point is, just because you're different doesn't mean you have a syndrome. "Quick, quick! He has a syndrome! Give him some astronomically overpriced medication! Send him to a psychologist t find the root of the problem (at a rate of $125/hr, nonetheless)!"
It would have been super beneficial to begin this type of work while still in school. I've got one year to go on my BS in CS, but have been administering a computer network for an accounting firm here in Vegas for two years and now have plenty of real world experience.
You want a Windows domain? Covered. You need a strong custom firewall? Check. Strong management practices? Bingo! Routers, switches..? Oh yeah..
Too bad I've grown to dislike working in the IT industry.:-\

He doesn't deserve it. Other than being the first person to break the sound barrier and shooting down five German aircraft in one mission during WWII, his military career has been anything but stellar. It's my understanding that the rank of Brigadier General was bestowed upon him for more PR purposes than actual merit. That's jsut what I heard, though.:-)

How about using a text editor? Notepad, EditPlus, etc.. You can code to any specification you desire without any hangups.
So the first article was written back in November of 2003 nd we still don't have an XHTML version of Slashdot? WTF? The work was already done for you!

How about a research station with a heated roof to melt the snow and such? I would have thougth that was obvious.
