  1. Re:Please... on Windows XP SP2 In Release · · Score: 1

    AIX is the only OS that has figured out how to pack near perfect patches

    Does that mean they only released a single patch...ever? Since the first one was perfect then there was never a need for another!

    So you're saying source code is smaller than a compiled binary? Since when did that happen.

    The problem with this is that just because more people run Apache doesn't mean that apache handles most of the load of web browsing. There are more honda civics in the US than Semi trucks, but I gaurantee that Semis carry more weight than all of those Civics put together. Just because there are more, it doesn't mean they do more. So if you wanted to cause a major accident, jacknifing a Semi gets you more publicity then spinning out a civic. Bringing down one of the big web servers gets you more than taking down a low load Apache server.

    See, that's the thing, in formal education all you need to do is pass the course. I took away one maybe two concepts of my entire undergraduate experience that helped me afterwards. Two things in four years! I obtained 3 bachelor's degrees in that time so it's not like I was concentrating on one area. If it's something they're passionate about they'll learn more by doing it themselves than wasting their time in a classroom trying to do complete your busywork assignments. So if they know the material well enough to know that when they plagiarise they're turning in a good paper, then that's all they should need. If it's so important they complete these assignments honestly then I'm sure it will bite them in the ass later, right? Because we've never seen people succeed that weren't honest.
