Yes, Jodorowsky is also very good. I forgot about him.
Re: Mexican cinema. I am by no means an expert, but in college I had a roommate from Mexico and he was a bit of a film buff, so here's how I sort of understand it. There's the "golden age", which encompasses the Pedro Infante/Jorge Negrete films about the desperately poor vs. the desperately rich and the suave womanizing charro (similar to our gaucho films), plus the older Buñuel classics. Some of those films I enjoyed. There's the Cantinflas/Tin-Tan comedies, and the campy Santo/Blue Demon wrestler films, which were big hits back in the day, then later derided as stupid, and now classics again.
The late 60s and early 70s produced some good films, like Caifanes (a dark "film noir" that I recommend very much if you can get your hands on it). But by the end of the 70s Mexican films were mostly crap, and that trend continued until the early to mid-90s when movies like Cronos and Como Agua para Chocolate were released. So it was pretty much 20 years where nothing of particular value was produced, in my opinion. But like I said, I'm not an expert.
You shouldn't be modded up after the crapflood you organized yesterday. In fact, anyone who operates 12 accounts and does things like these should be banned from Slashdot altogether.
Thankfully there are people who keep track of what you do.
I expect you'll be replying to this with the name troll account you created for me, just like you troll other legitimate Slashdot users people that way.
Having had the displeasure of (continually) sampling the awesomely bad Mexican cinema of the 80s and early 90s, I am continually amazed at how good Mexican directors like Alfonso Cuaron and Del Toro have gotten, and I have to wonder how in the hell they did get that way considering the ambiance in which they were brought up.
Having said that, I saw Hellboy II this weekend as well and I have to say I liked it as much as IronMan and WALL-E, so IMO it's a pretty freaking sweet movie.
I am primarily a user of Microsoft products, which I enjoy using very much. Things like Visual Studio, the.NET framework, PowerShell and their server products are excellent, regardless of the infantile FUD and lame jokes people here on Slashdot (and most everywhere) seem to like so much.
I'm also a user and supporter of open source and free software (whatever incarnation those take in a particular piece of software). I spend large amounts of time writing Python code in Vim, and deploying it to my Slice to run in Apache and Postgresql. My primary browser is Firefox. I donate quarterly to the charity supported by the Vim project, I donated to the Mozilla foundation before they started raking up the millions, and I've given probably upwards of $1,000 in the past two years through the SourceForge donation system to projects like CDex, WinMerge, FileZilla, InkScape and others.
I believe FOSS is pretty much the only thing that will manage to keep Microsoft on their toes. Firefox did a fantastic job of proving that you can whip Microsoft out of their self-imposed stagnation, which results in competition and better software for everyone, regardless of whether the source is available or not, and whether or not I have to pay for it.
A derogatory epithet for the enemy binds the community together against a common foe. It is not childish, though it is militant. To use someone's own chosen name is to honour them. Micro$hit do not deserve that honour.
But people like you (and twitter, who started this thread with one of his 12 sockpuppets) are probably what is holding back FOSS the most. You, and your proclivity to flood the internet with your foolish conspiracy theories, badly-masked hatred and creative spelling. You, the armchair advocates and Monday morning advocates who have probably never written a single line of code in their lives, never submitted a bug, never updated a documentation wiki, never donated to a project and in general never did anything worthwhile because you're too busy screaming and demanding that everyone should hate Microsoft with the same zeal as you do.
If you are advocating the destruction of Microsoft, I'm sorry but that makes you my enemy. Not because I'm in love with them, but because I don't buy that "choice" you are pushing on people. And unfortunately that attitude comes from the top, from the FSF's FUD campaigns to Stallman's stupid edicts and pulpit flames. They also happen to think creative spelling is clever, and seem to use it to try to get their point across at any opportunity.
I admire people like Bram Molenaar, Guido van Rossum and thousands of others - seen and unseen - who are out there heads down writing code and contributing to FOSS every day. People who don't demean themselves or the people who look to them by engaging in activities that are nothing more than a puerile religious crusade.
It is interesting that you mention the "community". It has always seemed to me that the "community" exists only when the point is to hate a corporation. The rest of the time it looks like a bunch of bickering groups that hardly get along with each other because their leaders have decreed that some software license is incompatible with another. That's probably where the term "open sores" comes from. And you don't mind people calling it "open sores", right?
When you get TOR working I'm sure this will go a lot more smoothly for you, but your "serious" sockpuppets will continue to be caught as soon as you create them, because you're a retarded moron.
By the way, this is a nice acknowledgment of your trolling. The only reason to use TOR is to get around excessive negative moderation, because the real reason would be to route around censorship and I don't see you posting Top Secret US government documents that prove there's life in Uranus.
I started seeing these when the Chinese earthquake happened earlier this year as well. The Outlook 2003 client filter did a surprisingly good job of catching those, and it's catching these as well.
Simple and effective social engineering. Proven to work on dumb people. Profit.
I can assure you that's not good enough. No, your hatred of "M$" does not seem sincere enough. Might also want to check the other list, just to make sure you're not in it. Like those pesky "vista defenders" and people like me, with special mysterious powers to ruin accounts =)
Yeah, and I'd like this for the.NET CLR and Mono as well. I looked at the code and the generators are not that complicated, maybe I'll give it a shot over the weekend. Does Google accept outside contribs for projects like these?
The 10x does not refer to the transmission speed (you're not getting that for a 100KB XML string vs. a 80KB binary blob), but the speed at which the [de]serialization occurs.
In fact this approach is even faster than runtime-specific stream serialization like cPickle in Python or the built-in binary formatter in the.NET CLR, because those use reflection.
Looks like Google just invented the IIOP wire protocol, which is also platform agnostic and an open standard.
I guess the main difference here is that their "compiler" can generate the actual language-domain classes off of the descriptor files, which is a definite advantage over "classic" IDL.
"Google protocol Buffers" is cooler than the OMG terminology, but this kind of thing has been around for 20 years.

Please, elaborate as to how C# is "goo". What exactly do you mean? In the sense that you don't think the language is designed correctly? The runtime doesn't do it for you? The compiler? The type system? The platform itself?
Because "teh M$ goo" is not exactly enlightening, other than in the "I hate Microsoft" sense, which is your prerogative of course, but has nothing to do with the technical merits of their products. Especially when you

Someone actually modded you up, which means that someone out there assumes you were not merely trolling (which is what it looks like to me, frankly). So a more detailed explanation of your claims would be double plus good.
This looks very well done. The company I'm consulting for right now uses something like '[data center name]-[jumbled numeric sequence].[jumble of AD forests].com'. So you get names like 'oakbrook-17893021.foo.bar.yay.call.me.org', which is less than useless. Though eventually you end up memorizing most of the ones you use frequently, it's a pain in the ass in the beginning.
I saw something like this scheme you have here at another company, except that the task code was four letters and they didn't follow it very religiously. And the servers were at two locations in the same city, so they only had one domain (plus one for the workstations).
One thing though, the 'STO' code seems kind of weird. I get that it probably means 'storage', but wouldn't 'FIL' be better instead?
