By releasing their results early, they have biased this year's results with media attention. Imagine a judge making a decsion between two films that she liked. Does he pick the same one as the computer? If a computer can do her job what does the world need him for? So she picks the movie that was not predicted.
The correct methodology would have been to entrust the results to a third party to be released after the event was over.
By the way, I am aware that my judge is a he/she, it is Sundance after all.
As noted in other posts, the iseries will run Linux and Unix natively. So unless you specified OS400 on the iseries, those who answered Unix were not off base. To say iseries is like saying intel based, it specifies the hardware. This is a major thrust of the marketing surrounding the iseries, so IBM will be dissapointed to learn of their failure to educate you on this matter. In the meantime, perhaps you should enroll in a course on platform comprehension (whatever that means).
Fun is fun and business is business. If you allow unscrupulous users to financially capitalize on the success of slashdot, you risk bringing the site's standards down amid a torrent of spam posts.
My suggestion would be to not censor links to personal pages that are too orange, but instead establish a guideline for editors to follow concerning the commercial use of a slashdot post. In the case of beatles, his scam is likely to hurt pagerank which is not directly your concern, but I think a clear argument can be made that it is an unethical practice that should not be supported.
While they use the number of patent issuances going up, they seem to ignore the fact that patent filings have also sky-rocketed along with them. If the percentage of allowances per examinations are the same, then the stat is pretty irrelevant since the number would just be a case of more cases being viewed because of greater numbers of filings and more examiners examining cases.
This paragraph assumes that the average quality of an application is the same despite the marked increase in filings. I don't believe you can justify that assumption. In fact I am quite sure it is wrong.
I'm going to put on my flame retardant suit and fire this one up. The problem is that people want to kill us. In order to protect ourselves, we can simply stop everyone who wants to kill us from succeding (Patriot Act). This works great if there are very few people who want to kill us. If there are too many people who want to kill us then limiting that number becomes crucial.
Unfortunately, this means we have to ask ourselves why people want to kill us. The GWB story is that they are jealous because we are the embodiment of god's will (I'm paraphrasing). Personally, I think it is more closely related to foreign policy especially as it relates to domestic energy policies.
If the notion that we might want to understand why terrorists, and deposed dictators don't like us is too unpatriotic, then I guess we will continue with the same type of policies. Considering that we sold Saddam WMDs and trained and funded Al Qaeda this might be worth a second look.
As a marsksman, what happens when you hit your target? Another impulse right? If you have aimed well, you will have the impact desired correct? Therefore the metaphor stands. But wait, both the target and projectile are destroyed (or at least damaged) in the process. So you're right, it is an invalid metaphor. Unless the target represents a problem or a competitor. Oh but wait what about the bullet, if we destroy that, there goes web 2.0. I guess thats ok since web 2.0 is generally acknowledged to be a stupid term anyhow.
Now consider an attacker taking control of a railway switch over the network to route the deadly chemical just a little closer to a population center, or to insure it stops in a known location.
We don't need to worry about the damage an attacker can cause to the "cyber" infrastructure, we need to worry about how they can use the network to affect real infrastructure.
Take a break and go lay down man. Using optimized code which might use goto instead of a different conditional is an entirely likely scenario. People are just having fun and chatting about this crap. It's entertainment. If you don't like it, go lock yourself in the closet with your linear algebra text and leave us alone.
The problem is that the proposed remedy is not precise. When the next generation of crippled hardware comes out, how much of it will not work in linux because it would be a violation of DMCA to openly publish software that interprets the signals from DRM hardware. Even unencumbered media might be unviewable except by the annointed devices from the anointed vendors.
Then we're going to need DVD John to quit his legit reverse engineering job and crack the new stuff.
I believe point 3 is the most compelling argument against our open gun ownership laws in the US. There is an extreme mismatch in firepower between the weapons we can sanely allow citizens to own, and the weapons that exist.
Unfortunately, I fear the time is growing nearer when that very idea becomes relevant in the US. Did anyone else have a problem with the portion of the article stating that documents were not released because of executive privilege? Since when does that apply to all agencies in the executive branch. This is a precedent set by this administration that seems to have gone mostly without remark, and will surely be a problem for years to come.
Why do your company allow the fishermen to use ftp instead of something secure like ssh? Why aren't password complexity rules enforced.
Certainly there is a cost to be absorbed in doing business safely and securely over the internet. Seems like your company is taking it in the wrong end.
He does explain how. By unclenching the fists that hold control of the TLDs. This frees domain names from an artificial scarcity and allows users to define their own name space completely. Think www.mcdonalds..
Unfortunately, there is so much cultural value built up in.com that we may have missed the boat on this. I don't think it is too late to try though.
I can understand why you would hunt this information down for your own demented purient interest, but why did you have to post it?
Didn't he clearly state that he didn't want to be slashdotted? This just seems like a perfect opportunity for the application of a little common sense along with just a hint of courtesy.
Slashdot Mirror
Way to innovate, OSS community!
Implies that proptietary and hence windows is more innovative. Innovative ~= invention. It is not a huge stretch to infer the meaning of the comments.
Troll on.

I just can't see how this would practically work.
Which is why they are google and you are not.

Or RTF post. I think he was pointing out that the summary of the article did not mention the most news worthy fact in the article.
OK.. let us disect meaningless metaphors.

Good read thanks for the link

I've always been partial to the lesbian bike delivery service in San Francisco named Lickety Split.
No really, I'm not making a bad joke, it was a real business.
How is MS going to sell you new widgets every year if it works great for years? Come on now be reasonable!

The Internet is a group of individuals who pick an ISP.
Thanks, I needed a good laugh.

Or did the dinosaur throw itself at the ground and miss?
Learn the words, and what they mean, and you'll find an amazing amount of wisdom you were previously denying yourself.
Wisdom is beyond the reach of most here.
That makes sense. Let's develop the medication before we understand what it is we are medicating. No wonder the line is so long at the pharmacist.
huh huh

That's not a very elaborate elaboration.
