Neither perl nor python are very popular for large application development, even on unix. So there isn't much demand.
I beg to differ. Spamassassin is perl, thats very not small, bittorrent's main client is python, to that matter i believe the server program is also python. in fact, perl is required in debian, it's part of their core utils. I think many programs on linux/unix would be broken if you did not have perl. python you can perhaps work without, but perl? no chance.
maybe next time your install something you should look at it's dependancies, perl is probably in the list some where.
.net is usually associated with web applications. so for web use (and IIS is not the most popular webserver) why is it in such demand, its not the more likely thing that someone will be working with.
Never underestimate the stupidity of large groups (the employers) of people..net is just a freaking platform, its not like it is anything special, just another language that just depends on different things. Offers very little that most other languages offer in much the same way.
Why isn't something that's more portable (perl/python) in such demand? Really bakes my noodle.
if you knew anything about linux you would not be saying that. all distros are more or less the same, it would have been more impressive had you said 'i have a non-windows os installed'. besides other things, there are more stable things you could be running, such as a bsd.
When I was a kid (~40 years ago), I had a bunch of technical stuff like steam engines, radios etc that I could take apart and understand (OK they didn't always work again afterwards). The radios had valves (tubes in American) that glowed and you could see stuff happening. I built crystal sets which worked fine with MW radio. Now most things that kids get are electronic gizzmos that are stuffed with ICs. No hope of really learning and understanding anything there.
I think this is more fundamental, all the above would prove is that you and unscrew things when you were that age. I believe this is due more to the children who eat junk food, breathe smoggy air and watch TV or play on NES/SNES/PSX etc in the afternoon. What happaned to the household encyclopedia? What happened to book learning? This is where the state has failed. Children don't know how to be children, instead they just look at screens all day.
There is also the parent problem, parents don't do things like household DIY or car repair anymore.
NAT is just a state table, a combination of [ external ip, a source ip and source port ] with [ destination ip, destination port and NAT IP ]. What makes circumventing this hard is that only in a few cases do all ports forward to the destiantion NAT IP. The moment you redirect a port to a NAT IP you're effectively putting that host on the internet with a firewall that has just that port open. It's a layer of security just like a firewall, but not to be seen as any increase when compared to a firewall because it's all about how this is applied to your hosts.
No need for add ons, just download the files, and post data back. Then to really drive the message home when they check their webserver logs/site stats:
while [ true ] ; do
wget www.site.com --header="Referer:www.donotblockuseragents.net" --header="User-agent:do not block user agents"
sleep 1; done ;
This is not a nice thing to do, but so is blocking certain browsers because the writer cannot spend a short time to test the site in other browsers during the site development.
Why are you trying? Opera/Konquerer/Nautilus/FF are all free on Linux, so why even bother. There's just so much FREE choice. If the site writer does not have competance to write for a portable, compliant world then the rest of the content probably is micky mouse and not worth the read.
I don't see the point in all the who-har around music piracy. Up until 1920s people in Spain would have played music via instruments in town squares joyfully, people shared music and shared the enjoyment of it. There was no complaint of reproduction of music. Later came the tape cassette, so shortly there after the bootlegger. Now we have CDs, at incredible prices and people just boot leg via mp3. There is some reduction in quality and there is also the colour injet to make the inlays.
Whats the point though, why all this fus, it's just people trying to share enjoyment. It's not like money makes people happy, if the artists are good then they sell tickets, that's where the real money is.
I'd rather move to Spain and try to catch some of the towns people reproduce music their way, that has to be more original.
But on this note, why should the consumer pay to listen to some remake of an old classic for a rediculous price, it's not original work and therefore as much IP theft as someone who boot leggs music.
And no, I do not copy music, kazza doesn't run on Linux, I listen only to shoutcast streams, and freeview channel 18.
It would explain why my backup of gho images are now giving compression errors.
Such a shame too, ghost took all the despair out of installing windows. (FWIW a netinstall from local server is still quicker than windows install off CD).
It's not realated to the OP but if you like UK comedy that's related to technology, check out LUGRadio, they have a really amusing linux-focused show at lugradio. Let me know if you have any others like that.
No, blogs can be used for whatever people want to use them for.
Its how they are indexed and linked that matters.
If 10 bazillion people all want to talk about their fuzzy heads and broken dreams, then so be it.
But that's a diary, not a web log!
A log is more like a ship's captains log, something that stores important daily information of importance, not trivial personal events.
Some blogs can be rated through page rank, or just by the domain name;) I concur however, there is much junk out there. You could do some tactics, like adding a null DNS entry for livejournal or which ever site you currently hate!
Social network blogs are killing internet content. Who wants to read through a tone of IRC logs to find one line of matching relevance?
Blogs can be ok, for instance of the blogger is really blogging something that he/she does on a daily basis because it's in a single field of expertise.
Blogs should not be used for trivial diaries, and that I fear is what the AOL users will use them for.
On the other hand, there are some blog entries which are worthy of becomming wiki sites.
Much like the drinking laws, some games have certificate ratings. The parents can only watch what the children do in the house, which is probably why arcades do not put games on their systems which have a certficate rating, the parents can't be there to supervise etc.
You do have a valid point that the parents should supervise what the children watch on the screen, but drinking is a much bigger influence on behaviour than computer games which you can separate from reality.
Whitelisting has its obvious problems with regards to people trying to contact you whom you don't know about but with whom you'd want contact. One could use greylisting instead which sortof works (untill you run into one of the many lame smtp servers that don't know about temporary failures and won't resend.. Sadly enough there are quite a few of those out there also that are used for legitimate email)
greylisting works just fine here, using qgreylist, it greys a/24 network at a time, cleans up rather nicely. It's certainly blocking lots, and all my maillist mail gets through just fine. I don't know of anyone who's had trouble mailing me, I think the problems may lie with pariticular implementations of greylisting software, rather than the MTA which is delivering mail.

Why are so many people suggesting Java because of eclipse, or c# because of visual studio. If you are rating the language on the IDE then you obviously don't know the language adequately.
Learn to write in Java or C# using a no-thrills plain text editor, such as emacs or nvi (or gvim). Also, get a few books on the subject, there's plenty on Amazon, they're really worth a hundred lecture hours.
It's not odd that you are stuck on a choice between c# and java, they're very similar. I do prefer Java, just because of the way threads are handled, you simply implement Runnable, and make the class a new Thread object, and call.start()... in c# you make a method into the thread... It's a little different to think about since you can make more than one thread object of a single class, perhaps this can lead to bad design since you will need to lock a single member object that is common to the class as one thread may clobber another.

I believe most educational centers use Java as their demonstration language these days
they use all sorts, prolog, pascal (still), delphi, vb, haskell etc.

I agree, but in addition it means there will be a select group of MS gold etc partners who profit from this.
It will not mean that everyone gets a chance to innovate. Which is what the EU want. More innovation from Europeans.

I can confirm the gho images DO get fiddled with.
I just need something like strace for windows... then I got proof. Quite perturbed here, I had a lot of images.
It would explain why my backup of gho images are now giving compression errors.

Some of their shows may have been like that, but they had a real big turn out at their Lug Radio Live event last year. I didn't go, but I wish I had.
Some of the content is quite amusing, I find it a fresh approach to what other's might consider a dry OS.
Still, each to their own. There was a good show a which has sadly come to a close, DHBiT, Does Humour Belong in Technology.
