The article says they know the name of the website... why is it still there? Why is the EXE still available?
I realize that another spammer will take advantadge of the hole next week but if the hosters were blacklisted from DNS servers, the offending files might get removed a little faster.
Why is it that people keep stating that you have to write software that targets HT specifically? This is not true. Any multithreaded application will benefit from it.
This statement is true, but...
HT or a 2nd CPU will get you somewhere between 10 and 20% boost on your software. It does this letting OS operations like disk IO, video, etc, run on the second "CPU".
If you learn to write good threaded code, you can see nearly 100% speed increase per CPU. That's the difference.
And just to turn this into a more interesting thread, I do with this Java.:) And yes, it scales nicely if you use it properly.
Anyway, when people talk about how no one knows how to take advantage of HyperThreading or multiple CPU machines, this is what they are referring to. 10% boost versus 100% boost.
First, one time you met a bad homeschooler? One experieince is not statistically significant. I know people from public school who were also messed up. A few from private... all are still great programs that help a lot of kids.
Second, vouchers are supposed to take money from the local school system! Think of the school like any service provider. If the service is bad in a restaurant, you vote with your dollars (you don't go back). Vouchers let parents do the same thing.
Finally, vouchers have nothing to do with private versus public performance. They have to do with voting. Tax dollars are spent to educate children. Let's give the person responsible for the child (who knows the child best), the chance to cast that vote.
The current school system is something of a monopoly. The government will take our tax dollars and they will spend them. Vouchers puts some of that money back into the hands of the parents. This would let them pick another public school, a private school, a charter school or (gasp!) even home school!
You don't ask! You introduce something usefull that Windows can't compete on.
In years past, I introduced more than a few people to linux when we brought in cvs for source code control, bugzilla for issue tracking, apache for our intranet, etc.
Some of these apps can be run on Windows, but we got it running much easier on linux.
If you bring the right (read USEFULL) applications in, linux will sail right in.. because you weren't bringing in linux, you were solving a problem.
If memory serves, the CPU looks a heck of lot like an AMD processor. Same registers, same design... almost as if the designers were reverse engineering... I mean, studying an existing design.;)
Wasn't there a/. article on this a year or so back? The CPU was named Dragon something or another.
This is either a troll or someone who knows nothing about home schooling.
they get no interaction with other kids and are far too sheltered
There are lots of groups for home school families to get together. Lots of interaction. On the other hand, in the public school systems, they get exposed to lots of interesting things... drugs, apathetic teachers, crap curriculums...
It think it is a big mistake
It might be a mistake for you. Don't assume it's wrong for everyone.
many times its becuase the parents are scared of the world
And you know this how? How many home school families do you know? One? None? Your opinion in a vacuum is really pointless.
well that is life and the world we live in you have to deal with it
If you have a crappy job, do you stay or leave? If the service is bad at a restaurant, what do you do? Do you say "That's life... I'll deal with it"? No, you leave. We did the same thing with our local school system.:)
Schools have many problems but hopefully the parents will help and motviate their child and guide them in the right direction.
Well, yeah! That's why we home school.
But I do not think home schooling is the correct fix.
What is the correct fix? After 6 hours a day in overcrowded classrooms that can move no faster than the slowest student, you're going to catch them up with a quick pep talk after supper?
There are many solutions to the problems with the school system. Home schooling is a very valid choice, but it is only one of many good answers.
You serious? Trying to make sure the people on the plane are who they say they are is pointless?
You don't remember that little 9-11 thing? Highjackings?
If you want to travel anonymously, drive a car. If you want to get in a big metal tube filled with flammable material that floats in the air, pony up some ID.

yes. unlike Intel's Itanium, the 64 bit Opteron is completely backwards compatible... 32 bit applications run natively on them.
I'm running on a dual Opteron w/32 bit Windows XP right now. :)
Wouldn't this idea work a lot better with semantic web markup attached to links and also to intranet pages?

Right? Gotta have some office apps... a browser... email. :)
Were you referring to your stolen MP3s, moview, and video games that were pulled down from the latest P2P system? Or something else? hmmmmmmm?
Is this a desparate move of a company trying to regain relevance or a brilliant shrewd move?

Also, don't just encrypt their home directory. Grab everything you can. :)

Then install Debian on an X86 server and show them it works.
It's often hard to see the potential of something that's not running. It's also hard to argue with a running system.
Voter registration is web available in my county... it's amazing how few people on my street are even registered!
Vote republican. Vote democrat. Vote anything, just vote!
I meant That's how Intel designed their 64-bit-X86 too, right?
Good point
Good point! LOL

We homeschool our children...
I think a very good solution would be vouchers.
I should be able to take ~my tax dollars~ and spend them in any way I like.
If the local school is a good one, I'll spend them there. If the local school is bad, I'll spend my dollars at a private school or a charter school.
Vouchers don't take money away from the local schools... it puts the money in the hands of the parents.
Sounds great... let's upgrade here! :)
Does anyone actually need a small laptop enough to pay that much of a premium for it?
Seriously?
Apache, for starters... Tomcat can be used as one... IIS...
Here's the Apache dav mod link to give you full WebDav capability, free of charge! http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_dav.html
Hang out for an hour, record the packets, go home and extract email passwords, etc...
This would probably work in an apartment complex, etc as well
Then walk... Carry cash for food...
You know, you might be happier out west... I hear Ted's cabin is open.

It's not giving up freedom. It's common sense.
