I'm sure, many people didn't even know about Kuro5hin without/.'s reports. It was totally unknown to me until to the DoS attack. Then I first heard about it, and read about its concept, and I found it great! Let's see if it's really so (when the/. effect disappears, of course:-)!
I am co-developer of fancylogin, a neat login program for Linux, and we have big troubles organizing ourselves. Especially in the beginning we often had dialogues like "did you already implement feature foo? - No, I'm currently working on feature bar - damn, so do I". Software engineering in general can't work in this way, not only at open source projects.
The problem in russia is that the country is *SO* big and there are hardly any concetred roads. Especially in the hinterland for people it's almost impossible to get to the next big town: the whole country lacks public transport.
And there will be risks (e.g. transport vehicle could get FUBAR because of the bad roads) that UPS simply can't ignore.
The whole issue is (unfortunately) quite a good example that russia still has to wear the USSR's legacy.:-/
This is really for super DAUs! "Do you really
want to flame? ". Now software
really wants to make the user stop thinking.
Just as a colorful operating system from Redmond.
They shouldn't only buy listening stations,
that are open in 15 years or so, they should
buy some kind of super computer (maybe a Cray?)
and use them for seti@home.
no. It's too similar. They could sue you again. The same thing was, as explained in another posting, with the "Triton" chipset and the "Tricon" trademark.
AMD should find new technologies for notebook CPUs. I have a K6-2 at home, and I'm not very amused about its capabilities. Even if they have 500 or 550 MHz or whatever, they won't have more power than a 350 or 400 MHz mobile PIII. This round of CPUs for mobile computers goes to Intel, maybe AMD can do it in the next round, though they have more competitors.
Yes, cheating destroys the scene around a multiplayer game. When you log on to a server, and you know, somebody WILL cheat, the game just sucks. It's really interesting, where many people actually have the cheats from. a few from the web, but really a lot from computer game magazines. computer game magazines print cheats for a multiplayer only game (i.e. the Counterstrike modification for Halflife). And what sucks most are clans whose players modify the terrorists' and counter-terrorists' textures to be able to distinguish them from a far distance.
VOEST is one of Europe's top producers of high quality steel. They also build other steel factories all around the world, from Nicaragua to Lybia, from India to South Africa. Only in Linz (this is where they have their main factories) they have such a big network with 60 km of network cables and more than 4000 Wintel clients (+1000 terminals). This network formerly had a big Amdahl mainframe as server, and several Alpha 10000 or something. They're currently about to replace these servers with cheap Linux computers, not because of the price or TCO, but because of - stability - ease of administration Linux IS an option for large, really large mission-critical systems.
Well, I haven't yet had time to read the C# info -- since it's nicely enclosed in a Windows executable, making it useless for we Mac folks Don't worry! It only contains a.DOC file, and opening it locked WordPad for over 5 minutes! <p> When I have a look at it, it mostly looks like Java or C++ to me, so there's absolutely no innovation behind me...BUT! they have one advantage to Java: <b>(restricted) use of native pointers!</b>
Well, IMO ESR is quite a good choice, at least better than RMS, who is usually very intolarent. ESR seems to have more experience with all the opensource stuff, that's why he wrote The Cathedral and the Bazaar. He's going to be a good representative for sure!
anyway, programming directly in "machine"-readable form is going to get in, again.:-) And maybe some biologists will have to start reading computer science books...

This makes place for the real WML !

Search for the town 'Dikson' in the north of russia, then you'll know what I'm talking about.

This is just an interesting experiment, not more, not less. Maybe there are some hackers at CISCO, who wanted to have some fun...

It's just a very handy utility for web developers: http://www.pigdog.org/decss/
Which DVD was used first to try out whether DeCSS works?
Examples:
/* int array */
e ll)=teileauseinander(/:/,$zeile);
:)
/* ea (Eingabe/Ausgabe) stands for io (Input/Output) */
#inkludiere
ganzzahl haupt(ungueltig){
ganzzahl feld[100];
ganzzahl i,j;
fuer(i=0;i;
schliesse(DATEI);
fuerjede $zeile (@zeilen){
($benutzer,$passwort,$uid,$gid,$gecos,$heimat,$sh
drucke "Benutzer $benutzer mit HOME $heimat benutzt die Shell $shell.\n";
}
A little insight into how programming would be if DMR and Larry Wall were
Germans.

this is also valid in Austria.

They have stolen my idea! I did that a few days ago, but I used LFS instead, and it works great. Even internet via ISDN!
