I tried Eclipse, but the editor is pathetic, and there just wasn't enough other "goodness" to make up for it; same with Visual Studio. Further, Emacs does NOT leave the junk whitespace that bloats version control system repositories and breaks "make" syntax.
I do use vi(m) frquently when editing config files and shell scripts in active systems, because it works pretty well and doesn't leave the history (tilde) files around.
There is simply no other editor that I have found that combines huge cross-platform availability ('specially if you add microemacs for really resource-limited systems). Emacs gives me tremendous flexibility for handing multiple buffers, and handling them more efficiently than multiple windows, the macro recording capability has frequently simplified repetative tasks, and it takes up a lot less of the edit window with "features" I do not need. I use the language support in a limited way, mostly as a quick syntax checker ("missing paretheses" type of thing), but with the indent feature enabled, and really like that I can control the level at which the editor intrudes on my coding.
I would, infact, be much happier, if idiots would STOP trying to write their own editors and simply wrap Emacs (or Vi(m)) in the edit window, because they really cannot ever do better, or, apparently, as well.
Before human cluttered up the island(s), a low(ish) interest in breeding may have been a positive survival trait preventing overpopulation of a limited range.
Anyone know if the small tigers there successfully hunt other than immature rhinos?
Now that humans have seriously reduced the range even further, it's probably best to just let them go extinct, since they'll never be successfuly re-introduced to the wild.
The paper states quite clearly that once the simulation has produced an algorithm, it is static in implementation.
The authors give a set of goals and an instance of a static network configuration and run a simulation that produces a send/don't send algorithm FOR THAT NETWORK, in which all senders agree to use the same algorithm.
While this looks like very interesting and useful research, it has nothing to do with systems that learn from and adapt to real world networks of networks.
If your vanity web site will cost you a couple of hours to put back together and an "is your site down" phone call from your cousin when your neighbor drops a tree limb on your backyard server shed, you probably don't need "High Availability", but you should still back up the data and configuration of the server regularly and store the copies at your mother-in-law's house so you have "Data Redundancy".
If your web site being down costs you USD$1000/hour in sales, call me for a consultation, please. Meanwhile, you need to spend some money (commensurate with the lost sales) on a fallback server, the network infrastructure (redundant network providers, for example) to activate it, and real-time update a redundant data set for it to use (and, while it is running, another data set somewhere ELSE) AND IT support (for example, TESTING the fail-over, and verifying that your backups ((you ARE doing backups, right?)) can be usably restored).
The OP is considered a fool because he had only a single instance of apparently critical infrastructure and now fantasizes that adding a buzzword will somehow magically prevent any future down time and/or data loss.
And MAC spoofing has been around since 5 minutes after MACs were invented. The wired is a little better, until they (whoever "they" are) install a passive tap.
The dividing line between "moons" and "rings" seems to be shared orbits, otherwise every little rock and/or ice ball in the outer planets' rings would have to be a "moon". A 20 km rock (or whatever) has enough gravity to sweep the space through which it passes, either clustering smaller bits into rings, adding them to its mass, or ejecting them from the planetary system.
Remember, Pluto was only a "planet" because we didn't realize it was an instance of a much larger class of KBOs. Now it appears to be more like a cluster of bits orbiting a mutual center, different from the planets and their moons, which have an orbital center deep inside the respective planets. Even without the companion bits, though, it's still a KBO.
We had already separated the "asteroids" from the 8 planets.
Don't like the entire idea of on-line sellers for anything for which I'm buying the first instance (yet another instance of the same thing, then, yeah, price matters, but still not from Amazon).
I just don't trust them, at all.
Best thing about Amazon, AFAICT, is the reviews for the $500 Denon link cable:
Spend some time looking through the Linux kernel archives, or actually USING one, and you'll see that quite the opposite is true.
What was a tolerable architecture for low-complexity embedded designs has serious flaws in cache coherency and clock-for-clock is painfully slow compared to a 464 (or, even, 440) PowerPC.
Because the ARM lacks the useful complexity for cache coherency and memory, and memory-mapped IO, barriers, and a quite small page table entry cache, it does have a power consumption advantage over the PPC, though.
Maybe (hopefully, really) the 64-bit versions won't be quite so crippled.
Those camera are advertised as having decent resolution, at least at TWC.

I looked forward to the HD and HD+ for months, 'cause my Color was exactly what I wanted in a "that-generation" tablet, including a standard USB charging and data port. The browser works pretty well and I can access a webmail account through https; it shows my pictures, and, when I tried it, plays music and videos. If the new devices also had standard connectors (preferably USB3, as well). I'd have at least three.
Instead, I'll scrounge used, running Colors, since there's not a single device I can find that has the features I want (standard connector for using it as a USB device, raised bezel to protect the screen, later version of Android, standard removable card for storage, no camera needed, HDMI out a don't-care).
I use the networking capability of X (process on IP address X using display on address Y, same or different IP, different user) every day, all the time.
For example, I always run a X server on Windows boxes, because I can then run some Linux process on the Windows display "root" window. Productivity is higher because I don't have to switch "containers", in order to switch applications, and copy/paste is trivial.
Similarly, I can have a process in a different, more locked-down, user running on the root window of "my" desktop, toggling between applications without having "switch user", open a different VM,...
I started the transition from HW to SW back at a company that had (for even older projects) a paper tape reader/writer for a two-pass assembler, and I've toggled the bits into UVEPROMs by hand.
For version control, I started with SCCS, through RVS, CVS, and Subversion, and am "gitting" a handle on git. That's not a currency issue. Source code control is a fundamental skill, regardless of languages and other tools.
"Concurrent programming" sounds like, maybe, you can't really explain your stuff either. There are significant differences between a simple uniprocessor microkernel where you have to share some variables between threads but handle your own context switches, a preemptible kernel where you definitely need data protection constructs (mutexes,...), and a fully multithreaded application on "who knows how many" CPU cores (along with interrupt/signal handling) where there can be literal concurrent execution. With even small embedded systems running multiple core SoCs, knowing how to deal with that is also a fundamental skill.
"Currency" issues are more usually the language/framework/tool set "de jour", and, having seen far too many of them come and go, I no longer get really enthused about them. I use languages and operating systems as tools; if it solves a problem I need to solve, without a lot of silly hoop-jumping to work around missing or awkward behavior, then I can write in any of several languages. OTOH, I'm still an emacs guy, 'cause I've yet to find a better tool for creating source code, and, yes, I've tried a LOT of them.
Don't get in his face, but don't cover for him either. Let your management decide when he's more trouble than he's worth.
At the quantum level, a "ring around the rosie" dance of atoms (really just nodes of a complex wave function) in a BEC is a freebie, however delicately balanced. Provided the containment isn't perturbed, there's no input energy required to keep things "moving". However, any attempt to extract energy from the setup will cause it to collapse. Even extracting information, such as the spin of the BEC will have to provide all of the energy in the probe.
When you're cooking the data, try not to make too many obvious mistakes. Of course, had the original propaganda piece, I mean "study", been peer-reviewed by someone who "could do the math" (obviously NOT any economists), this would have been pointed out as total nonsense in the first place.
Isn't that project not only alive, but getting a bit of a government assist in Russia?
Why don't IT departments just toss some money into that pot, too, as a speculative investment toward NEVER buying MS again? The ROI is insanely high. Take the whole Fortune 500, each tossing USD 1,000,000.00 (a fraction of the MS upgrade cycle costs), and you could get a REALLY good clone of XP.

One of my favorite Sci-Fi theories (along with "krakens went extinct because we overfished their prey during the whaling days") was in a short story wherein God was finding it difficult to continue to create laws of the universe that rationally explained things that were either "left over" during Creation or "just pretty". We are NOT supposed to be able to prove God exists because of some obvious miracle (cue both the Christians that don't understand anything about their own religion and the fans of HHG), so there must be mathematically sound explanations for cosmic phenomena. Quasars were apparently a big mistake, and even God's having trouble with the whole dark matter/dark energy thing, the acceleration of cosmic expansion, the matter/antimatter imbalance, and now we have to have microlensing to explain a twinkling star.
Anyone out there remember the title/author of the story?

I just sent Feinstein an email.
But I have a functioning X server now, and it does what I want it to do. Why should I have to interpose another engine between it and the hardware?
I tried XFCE, but it wasn't quite there. Can't really warm to KDE, either. I miss OpenLook and Saw{mill,fish}.
Looks like I'll totally be out of luck when Gnome dies and X is replaced with Wayland. Might as well run Windows at that point.
