I've found that the gold standard O'Reilly Book Learning Perl - Chapter 7 - Regular Expressions, is a fantastic beginners reference for regular expressions, how to use them, and the power of their usage.
Try running a scanner "radio communications receiver" through TSA. You'd think they'd be all over that sucker, yet it's the antenna that gathers the most attention... it (the Antenna), upon xray, looks sharp and pointy, but when they see it the laugh (it is a "rubber ducky antenna").
What is even more scary is that they flag it intermittently... sometimes they'll go berserk over it, other times it will go right through without a 2nd thought.
I often wonder, looking at the xray tech/guy/woman/thingy what they are thinking about when they look at those xrays.
I'll go on record as saying that in the United States there will never, ever, be another successful hijacking. I don't know about you, but if I saw someone stand up and begin the hijacking "process", I'd start the "process" of eliminating the threat.
And I suspect I'd have many passengers coming over my back to assist in the effort.
With the physical machines, you have to worry about 5 sets of software failing and 5 sets of hardware failing. On the virtual setup, it's 5 sets of software and 1 set of hardware. On the contrary - I would argue that you have to worry about 5 sets of software failing, many sets of hardware failing, and one very important software component failing (virtualization software).
Many large virtualized deployments include very advanced technologies such as shared SANs, shared infrastructure, and complex virtualization tools.
Frankly, I would argue that you are probably just redeploying people resources into different roles and responsibilities, while probably saving on hardware and energy costs for the infrastructure through consolidation.
I've been considering a vacation to PR for a few years, and seeing this thing is on my list of awesome things to try to see. Guess I should hurry;) The loss of funding to operate the place isn't going to result in the earth swallowing up the place and it disappearing. If anything, you'll probably have an easier time actually seeing the place as you would like to.
They could've taken advantage of Vista's losing streak and one upped Microsoft, the author suggests. Isn't Apple going to one-up Microsoft next week? I don't recall Vista all the sudden fixing all it's "issues" and becoming a rock-solid everyone-loving OS since the delay was announced.
If anything, Apple scored a coup with the delay, since the amount of pissed-off discouraged Vista users has hit a critical mass.
I've always been in the camp that admired Microsoft and their products. I was an OS/2 guy out of the gate in my career, and when Windows 95 was released I was blown away at how innovative it was when it came to a consumer operating system.
Fast forward to today. I waited about 4 months before going out an purchasing Vista for my primary Windows XP machine. When I purchased Vista, I opted for the Ultimate edition, and looked forward to working with it. After one month, I was so disgusted with the OS as a whole, I backrevd my machine to XP and have been happy ever since.
I then within the past month purchased a Macbook Pro at my local apple store, and have been thrilled with how easy MAC OS X is to use, along with all the associated software products. I converted my XP machine to a VMware image, and now run it in Fusion to support IE and Visio. I've never been happier with a computer or platform until now... reminds me of when Win95 was released.
It is clear that MS has missed the boat, and that either XP will be built upon and support extended, or MAC OS X and Linux are going to begin to take even further mind and market share...and in the IT Consulting community, the cache of owning a MB Pro is really taking hold.

For which the company that produces the 360 has been losing their ass.

TSA = Thousands Standing Around
Then "open source marketing" will fix that.. and don't think that marketing can't be open sourced - someone will innovate and figure that problem out.
If you are walking a crown on the rocks to the gate - I think you should throw it out as well.
100% correct.

Hogwash!
I don't ever see Oracle acquiring IBM. Steve Mills would laugh in Larry Ellison's face and cast him aside like a little used rag-doll.

You pick up the phone and call someone.
Oh wait.. uhh.... Dammit!
Imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these. And just imagine if they ran Linux.
Imagine recompiling a roach's kernel. Now that is pretty creepy.. or cool.
Is there any reason why the previous design won't "work"? Seems like we've done the before at some point.

This is the biggest rant piece of crap I've ever read in my life.
Let me make this clear: If you don't agree with the T&C's for the iPhone, then don't purchase one
It is that simple. Don't like it. Vote with your $$ !!
Why is this so difficult for some people? Are some people born to rage against a machine that they have a choice to not pay money to?
That isn't funny - that is hilarious.
OMG the irony.
>> Windows 95/98 were not an upgrade to OS/2.
Where on earth did you get this assertion from my comment?
