...but insists that reproduction of any kind is prohibited without permission. So I won't quote from the article. I will just refer to it.
In the last paragraph the author talks about implementations of SMB and AD (active directory?) not being available, then excludes samba. I with he would say why. Samba seems pretty good in that area.
In addition I would like to say that my wife's corolla is crap because it can't carry 1000 kilos of stuff the way my van does. Also the Boeing 747 is crap because it has a bigger radar cross section than a B2 stealth bomber.
The Age has been a good newspaper for a long time. But lately they have been publishing the occasional article which I would describe as flamebait. Particularly on sundays they appear to be trolling for page views.
Today when I got home on my bike I left the garage door open for a while and this guy walked past, selling subscriptions. I got pissed off because he walked right into my garage without being invited. He was the sort of person who goes from door to door selling energy or phone contracts. He tried to flog me a subscription for home delivery. I said no because it is no good for me. I read the RSS feed during the day. A day old dead tree edition would go straight into the recycling.
What they should do is offer premium online content. A better RSS feed. Access to past issues. More content. If they did that I would probably subscribe.
You would also need to have up to date trajectory data on the shuttle and the ability to turn it into a findable 3D location. Consider the size of the orbiter in that image. If it deviates by 10 or 20 of its own diameters in any direction there will be no shot.
He has to find a spot on a line between the sun and the shuttle. If he goes up a mountain he has to go sideways to be back in the "beam" so to speak. If he sets up near a road he has to avoid being run over. If he sets up in a field he has to avoid being attacked by farm animals, etc.
looks like something someone did in paintbrush. has anyone actually verified this as legit, it wouldn't be the first time the intrawebs fell for a hoax.
The people who run APOD are better judges of validity than you or I when it comes to astronomy.
Uh maybe not. I suppose my point is that the sleep record is a bit like the running record. Getting to 50% of the record would be easy. Going an extra day might be impossible.
I always assumed so, but I can't be sure. A lot of our gear would have run for decades without anybody knowing about it. Traffic signal gear in my state pays for electricity but laws prohibit power companies from disconnecting it if bills aren't paid. In many cases billing is based on known rates of consumption rather than metering.
So it is entirely possible that something, once hooked up, would continue running for a long time.
Where I work now we have hundreds of DEC DS10 and DS20 boxes in one room. They must break occasionally but I have never seen the HP guy there. Digital could make some fantastic, reliable equipment.
Building a control system for my bike I got into atmel microcontrollers. Its nice, programming on bare silicon again.
I used to admin PDP 11/83s and 84s for a traffic signal system. They ran RSX11M. Most of them we would do preventative maintenance once a year. So when you shut it down for PM uptime would be one year. They had a certain solidity about them. The way it would be working exactly the same way at one year as it was at one minute uptime.
We didn't have a PDP-8 when I worked there but one day one of our engineers opened a small building beside a freeway. Inside, behind spiderwebs and dust was a PDP-8. The last entry in the site log said something like Investigating fault X. Will return tomorrow with parts. It was dated ten years earlier by our current manager. He must have been promoted mid job and forgotten about it.
Its going to try to sell you a planet. I advise you not to buy. There is no guarantee your planet won't get demolished to make a new bypass at some point.
Well first there is the stupidity of declaring a pointer on the stack, mallocing and freeing before you return when you can just declare buffer as a local variable.
Second, this was one of about 20 identical functions, each for sending a different message. Each function had exactly the same bug.
Thirdly, as you point out, a code review would have helped, and we do that today. But we aren't churning the code out today anyway. A subcontractor of ours is though and I noticed the following gem...
if(status == EXIT) return int;
...comitted to cvs and fortunately breaking a build this past thursday. Its my job to do the builds these days you see. When the pressure is on there is no time to review properly.
We think working in java will help because you can't overflow buffers. But when you have gigabytes (no joke) of java source code it can be hard to track down the bugs which are causing your threads to crash with exceptions.
Depending on how important/inflammable this document is, I might look into buying a cheap 20GB laptop hard drive, installing ubuntu, going to a star bucks, doing the above and then "disposing" of the drive and all media so that there are no questions.
They are most likely to be traced by the mac address of the laptop they use at starbucks so I would suggest disposing of the wifi device as well.

Because of the cube square ratio small cylinders lose too much heat into the engine block. You are better off reducing the number of cylinders.

He's just jealous of those of us able to reproduce.
Actually my wife enforces similar conditions on me.

When they ran out of people to eat they started on the airline food. (old Rowan Atkinson joke).

Maybe an effect of polarisation?
Especially with the GPS data included. And without googles legal team standing by to bail them out.
Uh maybe not. I suppose my point is that the sleep record is a bit like the running record. Getting to 50% of the record would be easy. Going an extra day might be impossible.
Thats not very long. I could go two days without sleep but I couldn't go anywhere near one fifth of the world record for (say) free diving.

Its clever though.

Yeah, it seems to be learning at the geometric rate known as a 'slashdotting'.
Thats probably okay because slashdotters have notoriously short attention spans.
Ha! You tried that too.

Hey, this thing's good. It just gave me the correct answer without breaking a sweat--now, I just have to find the question...
oh crap.
These guys are really good.. I thought I could crash them.

Yeah we don't want every nutcase doing that.
The worst example I saw went like this:
char *buffer = malloc(200);
memcpy(buffer,message,2000);
send_message(buffer);
free(buffer);
It only occasionally caused a crash because there was a lot of unused space on the heap.
So Goate is a better image than the Iwo Jima flag raising photo?
Maybe all the people sending goatse to it has biased its aesthetic judgement.
Users should have clones or copies.
