Thats a good example of a "Web 2.0" system that works properly
I have yet to come across such a gem. Everything I have yet seen should still be in testing. Maybe thats because I use a browser that actually follows standards, but hey.
It is a hell of a lot easier to shut off (parts of) the internet than to shut off another countries nuclear weapons. This isn't going to be a "cold war".
It will just result in things like IPSec and Kerberos being used on a wider, more general, and lower level... if it results in anything at all.
(what I mean is: can't authenticate? Can't send data beyond this switch, sorry.)
No, it only appears to us as white light, as we detect those specific wavelengths as components of white. An animal with four cones in their retina would see the difference.
If by conveniences of Web 2.0 you mean slow page responses, chugging browser (IE of course) sucking 100% of one core (if you have a single-core you are screwed) for 30 seconds after the page appears loaded... when you could have used a static page... that looks dull but lets me perform my task in like 10 seconds compared to 45.
I would rather the rarely used forms look nice and the commonly used ones work efficiently.
I should have made it clearer. That's what my theory for the general publics perception of things: "It's not as dangerous if you can see it". To further this, if you can't see it it is more dangerous and should be feared more. If you can't see it or feel it it is something to fear to the point if irrationality.
My point about "your dead already" is that people have this big stigma about radiation because it is, in most cases, completely invisible and otherwise undetectable with your unassisted senses. If you can feel it or see it, you have likely already exceeded a fatal exposure and are, for lack of a better way of putting it, fucked.
IT doesn't want Web 2.0 but end users do. Too bad! End users typically don't know what is good for them when it comes to computers and networking.
Web 2.0 is a bloated, risky, pointless waste of time, money, bandwidth, and electricity.
Or at least that is my opinion.... opinions are not trolls or flamebait. Please don't mod me down because I'm testy, you don't agree, or you think I am being "stuck up". Reply instead.
Well, these are cruise missiles, not mavericks. It takes a shitload of work to get them ready to fire, work that cannot be done from the air.
The missiles need to have thier terrain-following systems prepared* (data needs to be collected somehow and downloaded into the missiles), they need to have their gyros calibrated and running, the warhead itself needs to be armed on the ground pre-flight, the flight crew needs to specifically turn on the master arm, select the missiles, and fire them.
Cruise missiles won't magically detonate thier warhead on contact with something, the detonation is planned, as they usually fly extremely fast extremely low, you don't want accidents.
* Even if everyone fucked up and the warheads were loaded armed, and the plane was configured to fire them... the missiles wouldn't do anything.
No point. At the speed I'm going at said intersection (50 miles/hour) I will be in and out of the intersection before the other traffic react to the green light.
It's the idea that I could get pulled over for it, that I find wrong; damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Nice hack-job there. You could have at least tried blurring out the insert so it looked like it MIGHT have been part of the picture, rather than just stamped on top.
That, and they wouldn't have nearly the color range available for printing, you would likely need to palletize and halftone the image before blurring,
Speed and braking performance matter also. There are plenty of times where I am going the speed limit, and the light goes yellow. If I stop, I will stop in the intersection. If I continue at current speed (the limit) I will be 1/4 the way into the intersection when it goes red. Oh and if the road is the least bit wet? forget it. I'm probably going slower now, so it WILL be red before I enter, but there is no way to stop in time.
I have new pads, healthy rotors and calipers, and 6-month old high-end tires.
It's bullshit. Yellow lights should give enough stopping time for the maximum size/weight vehicle allowed in that road to stop from full speed, let alone a puny sedan.
Then perhaps the root of the problem is the people trying to use them. Why should we care? They want to go out and spend > $400 on a tool they can't understand how to use, that is their problem.
No! A program running another program has nothing to do with linking. If I wrote a batch file that ran "mkisofs.exe" with the parameters, the licensing I used in that batch file DOES NOT MATTER.
"data theft, or identitiy theft" - those terms are still wrong. While no better term for "data theft" comes along, "identity theft" is better titled "identity fraud" - in both cases nothing is removed from the owner.
There are no consequences for making an exact copy and keeping it to yourself. Make an EXACT copy of a $20 and see how fast you get caught - you won't! There is nothing inherintly wrong with having a counterfit $20, as far as I know, the crime is when you try to pass it as an origional (ie, distributing). Sure, having a couple hundred thousand under your bed is risky, but only because there is no other reason to have such currency than to spend it (and break the law doing so).
Keeping a stack of books, CDs, movies, or whatever... there is hardly "criminal intent" there.
His analogy fits better than you think at first glance.
IANAL, but I am extremely pissed off about the whole situation.
They have noticed now. Rather than delete, they scolded* everyone that it was a support forum not a feedback forum, and locked the thread. Your comment (and those of a few others in the same vein) remain unmolested!
* Well within their right, it IS a support forum after all.
The sad thing is swapping two words around would still sound the same, but actually make sense!
"Genuine Windows Advantage" makes a hell of a lot more sense. But then that hurts your ego-complex.
Windows this. Windows that. Microsoft this. DAMN! Arrogant sons-a-bitches they are! They even go so far as to massacre proper structure of "Genuine Windows" advantage.

Yea, because a chip specifically designed to do calculations for graphics is identical to a chip designed to handle anything.
Try something some time: run something in software OpenGL and watch how puny that 2.4+ ghz cpu seems.

Yes, because I agree with you %100 :D

Or at least that is my opinion.
Here's my theory:
If you can see it, it seems less dangerous.
With radiation... if you can see it, you are already dead.
I for one welcome our man-made meme-parrot killing super-virus!

Yes, except that there are usually laws against using weapons in most public places.

No! A program running another program has nothing to do with linking. If I wrote a batch file that ran "mkisofs.exe" with the parameters, the licensing I used in that batch file DOES NOT MATTER.
DLLs are another story, however.
If i make a program that calls 'mkisofs.exe' - my program DOES NOT have to be GPL as well.
DLL files are a little tricky though, not sure I understand how they would be considered.

Goddamn it it IS NOT STEALING.
If it were stealing we would not need copyright laws, as we already have laws and punishments for stealing!

Link to thread? I would like to know how long that one stays up.

Yes, but Linus can't just flip a switch and turn your systems capabilities off.
