True, but your RoboMower won't drink your beer, invite its pierced, strangely dressed friends over to your house, listen to loud scary music, spend extended periods of time in the bathroom doing who-knows-what, ask to borrow the car and then not put any gas in it, or put you in a home when you get old and senile.
A web of trust can be used. For example, email from my friend is not spam. Email from his/her friends are not spam. Email from friends of friends are *PROBABLY* not spam. You get the idea.
Rather than just dropping any unsigned/unrecognised emails, just increase their score appropriately at the spam filter.
Not the algorithm, but the implementation. Of course, I doubt Google would use any of this code, but if they did, can they use software written for Win32 on a Linux box? No. All it shows is that they aren't exclusively a Linux shop, and they don't plan to use this code on their servers. Which no-one really expects anyway.
I tried using the Lego development environment.....it made me wish I had assembly. Sure, I didn't write any complicated programs, but when you have to click the motor 1 button, click in the workspace, click motor speeds, click power level 3, click in the workspace, then click wire, and connect the two, you really appreciate how much easier
MOV dx, 1 OUT dx, 3
is than using a codeless development environment.
A shiver runs down my spine whenever I hear "without a line of code".
I've done this kind of thing once, but did/* instead of.*. (I'm was a teenager, and at that point had just been rejected for the first time, don't put too much blame on me for a typo).
And guess which two directories got deleted first?
c) dont build computers for other people (especially family), as they expect technical support
Lucky...My family expects tech support no matter what. They also blame me for whatever goes wrong with the computer. Then find out that the motherboard had failed.
And you know what their solution is? My computer doesn't work, probably video card failure, it's at the shop now being replaced with a 9200SE, and next month a new computer is coming which I'm not allowed to use, and btw, that new computer has a Radeon 9800 Pro. It's only going to be used for email and burning DVDs, and my younger brother playing BF1942, which will work fine on a Geforce4. I'm not allowed to put Linux or even Cygwin so I can use distcc. I'm also expected to keep everything up to date, and spend my free time fixing it when it gets a virus, all because my family don't want to learn basic security. And they still sometimes don't use firefox.
I wouldn't complain too much about your family's tech skills;)
Yes, I'd say that they are all free speech. The nuclear secrets one would probably be treason though.
First, the argument that source code in an of itself is free speech is a steaming pile of crap.
Ok, would you be more specific? It's a way of expressing how to do something. Would you be ok with a law that anything in Japanese is not free speech? How is the source code different from any other language?
I dunno, from what I hear, our coffee and beer is much better than in the US. Never been there though, so it's hard to say.
And other than that, there's plenty of stuff you'd all want to steal. Why, yesterday, I just upgraded my video card to a Geforce 4! We're so far ahead of you USAnians, you only have the FX series cards;)

Doesn't XP require 128Mb memory to run?
;)
I have 256MB and it struggles.....Gentoo works fine though
I would imagine it's cost them billion+ to write the current version of XP
Maybe if it was rewritten from scratch, but how much code was really changed from 2000?
Exactly *how* this application is supposed to run is beyond my imagination.
Netboot. Rather than having your normal PC, you now have a diskless workstation.
Of course, you'd need a _LOT_ of bandwidth (I have 512k, which is nice, but even that is not enough).

Don't worry, it'll be out in the next release.
I am too, but I ran out of beer, so I know how to use the GIMP ;)
There's about 95 years left, you never know what can happen.

Ask for OSX. How much more expensive than Windows can it be?
A shiver runs down my spine whenever I hear "without a line of code".
Unless you use Windows-specific API calls that mean it can't be used on a Linux server.
Not all programmers have Linux experience, but just about everyone has used Windows.
;)
It would have been nice if they didn't use the new colour scheme though, no-one should be subjected to that
Read the first error:
;)
Line 1, column 0: no document type declaration;
implying "<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>"
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
I think it speaks for itself

Seperate incident, they took the computer back to the shop today to get it checked out. ;)
I don't have a spare video card lying around to make sure
Does this contraption have breaks, and if so, do they work properly?
;)
This is a bike for the management. Do you care
But it's meant for the management people.
Here's a mirror.

For example, to grant read access to R:\home\lachlan to 'someuser' you would use:To revoke those privs, use:
I think those are the right args anyway, I've switched to linux, so it's been a while. But cacls is the right program.
What happens when they steal the computer with the attached webcam?
Ok, it may be md5sum --verify or md5sum --check (never was able to remember, I've only used it about twice), but you get the idea.

But if that one hacker teaches the other 499? They can't be as good, but they can still learn.
