Exterminating jews, gypsies and homosexuals is not progressive.
According to the ideology it was progress, for the so-called aryan people.
Remember that all those were considered undesirable, in the case of jews because it was perceived that they were parasites by their own nature.
BTW you fail to mention the millions of slavs who were murdered (yeah, civilians and dumped in collective holes all over eastern Poland, Belarus and Ukraine) by nazis during the war, the latter had an extermination plan for them too.
Just have a look at Mein Kampf: there was the intent of (so nazis believed) improve their society getting rid of (who nazis considered) parasites (jews and gypsies), inferior/burden/degenerated people (homossexuals and people with mental problems) and degenerated-asian-mixed/useless-cattle (slavs).
Waging a war of conquest is not progressive.
The economic aspects of his rule promoted monopolies and collusion, that is not progressive.
The dissolution of his senate was not progressive.
Assuming absolute control of the government was not progressive.
One problem is that anyone can claim anything as progressive. That's one of those meaningless words people love to use.
But SPDY adds encapsulation within the TCP stream so data frames from multiple SPDY streams can be interleaved. It's like opening a bunch of separate TCP streams (like browser do now) but with a lot less overhead. It's also less complicated to implement than HTTP pipelining because each request/response gets its own SPDY stream so the underlying HTTP server can treat them as fully independent connections.
Cute. Still, in the end, the future HTTP daemon will end starting a new process for each of those streams, and each request will have a negligible extra cost to the client and network overhead but will still cost to the server in terms of disk IO, processing and memory consumption.
Looks like SPDY's multiplexing - alone - brings more interesting DoS possibilities.
Google may not have problems with their huge structure and resources in general, but what about the rest of the world?
It seems to me that SPDY multiplexing is particularly interesting if you have a huge web services structure and a similarly huge demand - huge enough that limited IPv4 addresses and TCP's legacy 2E16 ports is also a concern.
So you (the unnamed huge web structure) may want to lower the total simultaneous TCP connections down to the minimum possible, ideally only one connection per user.
If you're Google SPDY may be a great idea indeed. But how useful is that for the other cases?
Ah, that makes sense now, because I've read about the migration to Linux in Extremadura since few years ago and related news even earlier.
News on that migration were quite widespread. I'm not spanish nor living there, and still it rings a bell.
This is exactly the kind of garbage that make people abroad think that Brazil is only about Carnaval, women, beaches and Amazon forest.
And who often propagate that are people from Rio de Janeiro (an overrated shithole) and Northeastern Region.. Which are the most violent and underdeveloped parts of Brazil.
Somehow I have problems equating patent extortion to human trafficking. The fact is that what MS is doing is legal. Human/gun/drug trafficking is not. Software is protected by copyright. That should be enough.
What IF human trafficking (and slavery in general) were legal, would you be fine with that then?
Yeah, My maternal grandfathers family came from a polish speaking enclave in what is now Belarus, incredibly isolated swampy area, impenetrable forests.
Let me guess.. they are from Polesie?
This isolation seemed to result in some psychological issues, they were all mad as hatters, right down to my mom.
Hmm... I'm curious now (I know eastern Polesie and people seemed normal to me, though very melancholic), what kind of "madness" you're talking about?
No, that's not his worst sin.... not making room for the friggin song titles is!
Seriously: you've got 700MB to play with, and you can't find room for song titles that are less than 1K total?
The original specification had 747 MB (raw) 650 MB (with error correction) and that was an absurd amount of data to work in the early 1980s. Also, the first players (well, even the ones produced in the early 1990s) did not behave much more inteligently than a vinyl player and tried to play as sound even pure-data CDs (the result sounding something like a 8-bit-computer software recorded on an audio tape).
Still, I agree with you in part: they could have reserved a small CD section for songs' names as an optional CD-DA feature (to both CDs and players) or, at least, "for future use, fill this with 0s".
The developer tools were downloaded over 1.5 million times and there are over 13,000 apps in the WP7 marketplace (faster growth rate than Android and iPhone at that stage).

You mean the military guys from the USA?
The same self-serving country which promoted oppressive right-wing dictatorships in Latin America because of US' fear of Communism?
Yeah, nice kind-hearted guys indeed, they really work hard to make the World a better place.
What I can't legally do is build a car and call it a Ford, Or operate any automotive business with the name "Ford", because that is protected by trademark law. (I could however start a landscaping company called "Ford's landscaping" and it would NOT infringe on the trademark because it's not competing in the same market segment as the car company by the same name(...)
I understand people turning to religion, and I just hope that my life is never shit enough that I end up being one of them. But then I'm still young.
It's really easy to be bold towards reality when you're young, with fresh idealism and naivety on how you can impact the world.
Then, when people get older, many of them become more religious. Funny, isn't it?
That's the problem of most self-declared atheists (which often behave more like anti-theism proselytists): they expect people to drop their religious beliefs which bring them comfort, face the harsh reality and nothing is given to them as a replacement, not even a philosophy.
Often I hear from the militant atheists that one should base his/her beliefs on vague notions of Humanism. That's certainly very comfortable for mid-high class people living a reasonably comfortable life, specially people from US/Canada who are so awfully detached from the realities of the World.
Humanism is quite nice in theory, but the fact is that reality sucks and most people (no matter what they claim) don't give a jack shit for other people. The only things we can count on is individualism and hypocrisy.
Unless something new appears, there won't be a Star Trek-like life and philosophy in the future.
And that's what militant atheists do not understand.
But, hey, it's easier to simply push your views and mock religious people while fooling oneself you're providing a great service to mankind.
I've seen some very aesthetically pleasing free movies, that Big Buck Bunny included. We don't need Hollywood for that level of quality.
What we do need now is something with a decent story, something beyond technically competent cliches.
It works like this. The more people that use Free Open Source Software, the better it becomes, because the more people that use it means the more people who will contribute code to it. The reason people contribute code is of course the contribution is acknowledged and publicly demonstrates their skill in product.
I'm seeing tons of chinese companies embedding Linux and other free software in their products. Still, I'm not seeing much of a contribution from their side.
Instead of that, what I do see sometimes (and I am not actively searching for) are obvious GPL violations from them.
Stupid and pointless? All of the changes are for the most efficient use of vertical space, which is even more critical given that all screens are moving to a 16:9 ratio.
Damn... Why they're phasing out the 16:10?! That was a reasonable aspect-ratio compromise.

Ads are OK. They're the reason why most things in life (i.e., the Internet) are free.
Ouch... I think you should broaden your interests in life.

3) Profit!
Indeed.
The Linux-based servers and the legacy Tru64, AIX servers I have to maintain pay my bills. Thanks Unix!
Interesting, reminds me of ARexx, except that PowerShell came 20 years later.

I'm sure my country has no problem at all with Iran.
This was a goodly number of years ago on a HP-32SII, so the language was basically slightly better than assembly.
Basically, back then when HP still produced quality, RPN, calculators.
You need HW virt for Xen. Otherwise it's just QEMU which is slower.
Wrong. You can also use Xen paravirtualization, which does not require HW assistance.

Sounds pretty much like the the VAX case btw.
The only thing that makes Linux usable is the fact that Mono runs on it.
Who at Microsoft should I contact for getting a job like yours, I wonder...
I would love to be paid to browse and troll people around.
+1 interesting indeed.
Wikipedia is full of jerks obsessed with rules, with dominance and penis waving.
Looks like Academia to me.

Dude, it's EMC we're talking about.
Most likely the $1 million kit consists of:
- A 250GB 5400 RPM SATA EMC-certified HD
- A pair of official EMC plastic brackets.
