Changes are already made within OpenSim And Second Life that fetch assets not by file protocol and UD, but by HTTP. Opensim(second life free version) can even load entire region data via http URL(implemented) within the last month.
For those that dont know, 1/3 of Linden Labs have been made redundant, and some bloggers suspect this is in response to the sudden reliasation that its all about HTTP and not about propriertry viewers any more.
In the day I used to load TGAs via C. Its interesting noting the source code in Opensim that loads a textures via HTTP.
Almost certainly this is a response to the percieved advantage of being facebbok like(rightly or wrongly).
A quick and dirty example: A persons 3D avatar(Colada mesh file ) is stored on their website. As they visit a 3D world in browser, the world takes their metadata(loads the mesh via HTTP URL) and other participants see that representation.
If your happen to fall into the sights of either of these three(Pedophile, terrorist, Govt) out of unlucky circumstance, and they are intent on nefarious deeds, then your number is up. You are fucked.
" We have, however, taken disciplinary action against the student for bringing the college into disrepute and he has been fined.”
A similar line has been used by our local university recently. They can catch you any way they like using this. Its much like a bad EULA - you just agree because you are progressing thru university after high school. Next thing its biting you in the ass for that slightly too raucous 1st year party, or that thesis that, while your are not a Holocaust denier, your thesis questioned a tiny part of the operational detail.
Whether it be the local city council complaining about vomit in local shop doorways, or the local Jewish Church, "Bringing the college into desrepute" appeases the complainers without mobilizing academic stalwarts.
And in an age where its all about funding and conveyor belt course, this EULA catches the ne'er do wells. And stepping outside the academic square costs resources. Thats not desirable.
Its not *just* about doing the so called right thing and standing up to Google. Remember Oz is not far from the Great Firewall of China. Left for Dead 2 is censored different to the rest of the 1st World(outside of the German Sensitivities of violent games), Linden Labs have their own Second Life servers in OZ in readiness that their game is deemed "Offensive" by the govt and they can manage content, and was home to the WikiLeaks being blacklisted on the OZ Great Firewall because they displeased the Administration. The Oz internet filter is extremely harsh and filters not just the usuall, but also gambling, political blogs, and conventional porn. Google preaches freedom and an open internet. Google has criticised the Australian Govt for their polices. They now are paying the price for talking in public about one of the most conservative western govts...possibly even by US standards.
I assist in support for software in the agricultural sector. This is a demanding sector, for it is somewhat unique in that users want to know how to fix there problem but also rant about some aspect of agriculture. Our support people are a best compromise of support person and policy pundit. Its not best but is fits a need.
This book seems to address the exact problem we have. From our perspective, Win7 is a bringer of pain. Developers seem to not realise any change to a UI can have dire and far reaching consequences.
I thought the next big thing to hit MS by Google actions was to make HTML5 the new YouTube installer(apart from the beta html5). This would represent the next most significant milestone over the inception of Google Search itself.
But this is up there. For Joe and Jane Public, google is hip, trustworthy, and useful everyday.
Perhaps more than any other effort, this may influence significantly the perception of school aged people and Operating Systems. When that tipping point comes, MS is in serious trouble.
Whether it be google maps or other service, I feel the curtain will come down. I predict Gmail and shared docs will be a loss leader, but eventually I think google maps will be "called in".
They will impose a stricter map-refreshs-per-hour policy and charge a fee(albeit small) for that Google Maps Key. Next thing, that small Web House Company that did sites for those real estate agents, Rental Car Companies, and Motels will have to pay a fee, and need to recoup that.
Put all your eggs in someone elses basket at your peril I say. At least with hosting you can have backups and pick up another provider if things turn to custard.
Just as Cuba is still punished because they showed Kennedy up in front of his friends when his Bay of Pigs invasions got trounced, BP is paying for the Iran oil deal Ayatollah Khomeini reneged on with US oil companies in 1979. BP (*British* Petroleum) became a major player on the back of those reneged deals, when Iran took from the US and gave to the British.
Now they are finding out that US administration with the backing of US oil corporates have a very very long memory. And with Iran back in the focus, it is time for them to pay.
I have just finished watching The Wire on DVD(A cop drama set in Baltimore).
Not only do I rate this series as one of my top 5 dramas made globally, I think it is as significant for nerds as Star Trek.
Cell phones play a key aspect of the story line over the 5 series from 2002 to 2008, and includes the formation of the Dept Home Land Security and the impact on the police team and how it helps there investigations(by season 3-4).
The police efforts to track criminals and the criminals attempts to stay one step ahead is well dramatized.
Hopefully most here know the significance of the phrase "papers please" and its origins and this post reminds me of that phrase. So I went to YouTube and entered "papers please". One might expect old war movie footage. Instead, video upon video of US cops and "papers please". But the politicians and patriots tell us we are free, so we are, right?
To sell this they would have to not focus on the huge waste cows and the cattle industry put into the environment. I would recommend they just sell it on some economic benefits to farmers. If it is sold as a method that utilizes some of the massive waste dairy imparts on the environment, it'll get killed by farmer lobby groups faster than you can say Methane Tax.
...they by-pass a solid design stage and whip out the agile card. It allows them to get onto the fun parts straight away. Of course, it all turns to custard. Good design is a combination of education, and experience. In the end some perople just never get it.
Within the current framework of thinking of todays young people, then, yes, your post is valid. C is not hip and requires thinking.
Just as we have this so called cotton wool wrapping around kids, I think young programmers need to learn to skin knees(array over flow), work for their pocket money (memory allocation and management and factor in any fence post errors), and think beyond the menu screen for Modern Warfare 2 ( theories of algorithm efficiency). Writing your own horrible sort algorithm is more educational than calling array_sort() that "puts it in order".

"Honestly, I can think of no worse or more dangerous crime."
A police officer manipulating evidence for pecuniary gain while his target spends years in jail, his finances, family, and anus in tatters?
No.30 on your list?
The Texas judge who sent hundreds of youth to a private jail, of which he had financial interest in. Those convictions being over turned long after his ruse was tumbled? No.99? Perhaps not even in your top 100?
+1, yes, and the manifestation of that is apathetic administrators just want to do what they do, and to sit thru the day doing little more than benign things. They fear proactive people(parents in this case).
I posted the comment one year ago that developing in.NET for a Mono target was not prudent, and there was some risk. The post was marked as troll and buried. I presume the MS moderaters here are not in attendance so this one might survivie.
When I tried self employment as a contractor, I got interviews from small time IT shops, that turned out to be attempts to sell me their business as a going concern. One was bold enough to suggest its a great opportunity for those finding it hard to get work.
The side effect for me after being out of work after a car accident, 3 months recovery, but 2 years out of work, I now see my current job as critical. Over everything. Despite this period being 6 years ago, I am basically shell shocked from it. The attitudes from people, loved ones was crushing. Your perception as a capable worthwhile person plummets. My girlfriend of the time used it as an opportunity to be punitive, with me dreading 5:00pm when she arrived home from work. She would pace the house assessing the housework chores she assigned that morning. It was a hell few could understand.
LG started this by threatening Optronics. I am presuming in a somewhat vague way.
While perhaps this could be modded redundant, this story(which appeared on/. a few years back) with attached letter by a business owner who used to be a patent attorney is just priceless. It shows that when you scrap just under the surface of these initial IP letters that would send the average person into a tailspin, this guy hits back. I presume just as Optronics did.
( I am from New Zealand). NZ get many of its policies and laws from Australia. This is for practical reasons to allow free flow of travel, trade, financial trade etc.We got internet filtering a few months ago on the back of Australia's impending filter.
I suggest every reader votes against the current National Govt at the next elections coming up and tells anyone they can that they vote they way they do against fascist control and censorship.
Terry Childs was naive. I am not horn blowing, as I am sure I am not as technically talented as others, but I am a battle hardened motherfucker in the work place. If you dont think others won't turn on a dime and stab you in the back, especially in a public service position, then you need to open your eyes or you learn the hard way.

I have scrolled to the bottem and replied after a scrolling skim. No answers for this guy yet? Just vague debate. No "use either a,b,c,d,or e".
Thats telling.
I am in this guys situation at work.
