See this is why I stay with Mad Dog 20/20, never changed it's name, never will! (Considering a large portion of its customer base is illiterate and/or too drunk to read anyhow it wouldn't really matter but....)
Shhh...you'll dispel the law and order orgasmic fantasy that the republicans have! It's just like with abortion, they think if its outlawed it will magically go away. But it won't and neither will a lot of the other shit that is outlawed in the US. All that happens is that you have record large #s of people in prison costing taxpayers out the ass, spreading lovely things like HIV to people who don't deserve it and generally just fucking up people's lives. Someone arrested for smoking some marijuana is actually probably more likely to go on to commit bigger crimes in their future than a marijuana user who wasn't arrested, not due to drugs but due to the fact that the person arrested now has a criminal record and is less able to get a good job which in turn makes them more likely to commit crimes.
Meanwhile some ass-clown(ahem Bush) goes fucking joy riding while drunk off his ass and all he gets is a little slap on the wrist, at most. Who actually endangered a life? Certainly not the pot smoker who sat on their own property and didn't drive out anywhere...... Republicans(and to a lesser extent Democrats) have fucked up the USA so insanely bad and yet the ignorant sheep continue to vote for them. I fail to see why.
It's common sense when you think about it. No legitimate brothel is going to want to risk its license to operate by hiring a bunch of trafficked sex slaves. Meanwhile illegal brothels have huge incentives to ONLY use trafficked prostitutes because they are much less likely to rat out the pimps to the cops.
That should be about the limit of technology your toddler should be exposed to. The American Academy of Piedeatricts actually discourages parents from letting kids under 2 watch television. I'm sure computers are the same.
Thanks, I never read anything so brilliantly stupid in a long time. You claim that windows is easier than linux then turn around and savage OS x because it's easier than windows, how brilliantly retarded. You sir are the DUMBEST person I have ever seen on slashdot, bravo!
Don't care, using SMB, supported by 90% of market.
And is slow as shit which was my entire point. the OP was having issues with SMB performance because SMB is a garbage protocol only used by toy OSs. All real OSs use NFS or other such protocols.
Oooh, I know this one, a 10 year old OS. Upgrade, or deal with it.
Windows 7 is a 10 year old OS? Who knew? Windows 7 still uses the same exact broken and primitive security model as XP does. Microsoft has shown 0 interest in improving the security of their products and it shows.
If you asked which operating system demands you phone home to your corporate overlords each time you add hardware
Not really, but you seem to think it does, Apple has taught me that delusion is much more interesting compared to reality anyway
Way to not even answer the question, bravo!
SSH isn't needed for the average user. Telnet and FTP are, and are included.
Refer back to the broken security comment, and if you
don't know what I am talking about you are a bigger idiot than I thought.
So, they dumbed down the OS, +1 for you.
So ease of use = "dumb" to you, yet you criticize linux for being hard to use? I can use linux, so that reveals that you are in fact quite dumb(as do the rest of your comments, but ya know, you are a windows user so I guess that speaks volumes about your intelligence)
Learn to use it, takes 5 mins. How's batching done in OSX anyway?
HAHAHAHAHA, this is by FAR the dumbest thing you wrote. In OS X and Linux I have, lets see...shell script, perl, python, ruby, tcl the list goes on, right out the box. I don't have to spend literally HOURS trying to download all these packages(let alone manage the updates). But yeah, you are right, Windows little toy batch script is SO much more powerful than any of those tools. Tell me again, how does windows a batch script locate a file(such as the hosts file) if someone switched drives? Oh right, they cannot because Windows is still stuck 30 years in the past back when people thought mixing the physical and logical layout of drives was a good idea.
Not sure what you mean, but it sounds fun.
I mean that Windows is so primitive it still uses broadcast to determine what domain controller servers are out there and refuses to connect to ANY domain server(despite the fact that it told you it did) if it sees more than one domain out there. Again, hilariously primitive. In the real world this problem was solved DECADES ago, but I know Microsoft is a little slower than the rest of the world, you have to pretty much count on them being 20 years behind the times.
Yawn, no, but again, reality, etc...
You know, when you make a comment like that you really need to give, oh I don't know, a concrete example. Go ahead, find me a feature in Windows 7 that wasn't available in Tiger(well besides "Windows Activiation" of course). The fact that you didn't give an example makes me think that you cannot.
You obviously know nothing outside Microsofts little sheltered box, and I'm sure you make Balmer quite happy. Go and actually try to use another OS for more than 3 minutes. You will be AMAZED at how primitive windows is in comparison and how much better computing can be on pretty much any other platform besides Windows. Windows is losing market share EVERY SINGLE DAY(in about 10 years nobody outside Redmond will be using Windows server, an ever bigger joke of a product than Windows client). You obviously need an education.
You fail it. Tell me, what os ship out of the box with ifs? If you guessed everything but windows you would be correct. If you asked, what os has a security model so broken it gets hacked constantly? If you guessed windows you would be correct. If you asked, what osgoes out of its way to limit the things I can do on my computer without forking over large amounts of money? If you guessed windows you would right. If you asked, which operating system is still so primitive it is unable to distinguish the physical layout of storage vs the logical layout of storage? If you guessed windows you would be right. If you asked, which operating system sets firewall policies in at least 3 different locations which interact with each other in incredibly complex ways instead of having a central easy to modify place for your firewall settings? If you guessed windows you would be right. If you asked, which os doesn't come out of the box with basic tools such as ssh? If you guessed windows you would be right. . If you asked which operating system demands you phone home to your corporate overlords each time you add hardware you would be right if you said windows. I could go on but I will address your other points. Os x has an incredibly powerful unix underpinning and a very easy way to manage applications with said underpinning. Windows command line is a joke. Windows machines are so primitive that they refuse to connect to the domain controller you specify if they broadcast and see another domain. In my years of doing os x and Linux admin I have never seen anything so profoundly stupid. Also you boast about how much easier windows is, have you ever tried to connect it to a non windows box? It's a huge pain in the ass. In fact pretty much doing anything on windows is a pain in the asss and takes about 10x as long as it does on a mac. Every time i use redmonds toy i just feel badfor the people that thonk that computing has to be that difficult. Have you ever scrutinized microsofts claims about windows? People whose real OSs have had those features for at least half a decade before Microsoft was even competent enough to copy them, and even then it didn't do it right. Pretty much every feature of windows 7 was in tiger which was released in 2004. Windows is nothing but a toy to people who actually know anything about computers.
That's correct, though had this been an oral exam you wouldn't have picked that up:P
Also judging from your comment, you obviously are an "English-speaking student". You may not be a native-English speaker, but you obviously profess some proficiency in the language. The grad students I was complaining about have almost no proficiency in the language, especially the spoken language. Trying to communicate with them in is an exercise in frustration.
Thats what grad students were made for! Unfortunately recently US universities seem intent on admitting as many non-English speaking students as possible, so I'm not even sure you could use TAs to accurately asses students during oral exams....
Whats old is new again, they really should bring back the oral exam. Not only does it make for a great name for porn movies, it actually is probably the easiest way to accurately asses the students understanding of the material and prevents cheating(for the most part). Best of all, it doesn't take 3 hours per student.
If you use a real OS and a real file sharing protocol(not MS garbage) then you won't have any problems at all. I use AFP(though NFS works equally as well) to view HD media over wifi and works perfectly. Ditch windows and you will have 0 problems.(The previous sentence pretty much works in any context)
It contains a 64KB L1 instruction cache, a 128KB L1 data cache, a 1.5MB private L2 cache per core, plus a pair of co-processors used for cryptographic operations.
In a four-node system, 19.5 MB of SRAM are used for L1 private cache, 144MB for L2 private cache, 576MB of eDRAM for L3 cache, and a whopping 768MB of eDRAM for a level-four cache. All this is used to ensure that the processor finds and executes its instructions before searching for them in main memory, a task which can force the system to essentially wait for the data to be found--dramatically slowing a system that is designed to be as fast as possible.
I'm assuming the cache referred to in the second paragraph is off-chip cache, otherwise it would sort of negate the first sentence.... Would be nice if the article would have actually said that though.
Thats because more people are surviving childhood and growing up to have their own kids. That doesn't effect the "fertility rate"(babies/adult woman) per se, but it does lead to increased population.
In Europe(at least Germany) you are also required to show ID in order to buy a sim. I guess as a result of the Madrid attacks, not sure. But anyway, if you REALLY wanted a SIM that wasn't in your name all you would have to do is hang around at night near where drunk people gather. You can be guaranteed that at least one person will drop their phone.
Actually before the advent of synthetic formula it was VERY difficult for a woman to have 19 kids since nursing acts as sort of a natural birth control pill. It's not perfect of course, and if a baby dies the woman becomes fertile again pretty soon, but it's estimated that the "natural" rate of fertility for women is 1 baby every 1.5-2 years. So it would take around 35 years for a woman who didn't have access to other ways of feeding her baby to produce 19 kids.
Actually, according to 'kipedia the world fertility rate IS falling, quite quickly in fact. I mean in the last 40 years due to the One Child policy(along with increasing industrialization) the fertility rate of the worlds most populous country has been plumetting. Their population keeps increasing because the Chinese tend to have very long lifespans and because there was such a huge bubble right before the One Child policy was enacted(Mao actually encouraged people to have as many children as possible during the Cultural Revolution).
Now you could argue that thanks to advances in medicine and food production that the overall survival rate of children is increasing, but the fertility rate is not.
Thats the stupidest counterargument I have ever heard. Does it snow 365 days a year where you live? No, well then guess what you can ride your bike on the days it doesn't snow and ride in a car the rest(you can get a relatively affordable motorcycle or even an electric/diesel scooter for relatively cheap).
I see this argument any time fuel economy is discussed, "since x isn't a panacea, x is totally worthless." It's just plain stupid and it's that thinking that keeps massive amounts of cash flowing into Saudi oil sheiks' hands.
One detail missing from the article was the relative costs of the two technologies, with the popularity of net books and the like the cheaper technology will probably come out ahead in the long run.
The windows security model is so incredibly incoherent and pointlessly complicated that its essentially worthless. Locking down a windows box is a laborious and error prone process, for instance in XP there are at least THREE different places where you set firewall policies and the ways they interact and overrule each other are incredibly complicated. The only reason for this pointless complexity is so that Microsoft can sell more MCSEs.
Compare this with Linux and iptables. I have essentially one text file that I have to manage*(ok for TCP connections there is also hosts.deny/allow) to configure the firewall. One, not three.
The reason golden parachutes exist is because the sec has repeatedly dismantled shareholder rights in order to guarantee political kickbacks from said CEOs. The CEO now essentially owns the company and spends more time figuring out ways to enhance their own salary than they do actually trying to do any real work. Stocks have gone nowhere in the past decade while CEO salaries have skyrocketed.
Define "smart", experience has shown us that measuring intelligence as a single vector is folly. It does take a certain kind of intelligence to be able to quickly read and react to the changing conditions on the field. However that same intelligence may not necessarily be very applicable to designing a particle collider and vice-versa. To put it another way, you really cannot say that "Einstein was smarter than Mozart" because that statement really depends on how you define "smart". I'm sure if Einstein decided to become a composer he probably could have wrote something passable since he was quite intelligent, but I doubt it would have reached the level of Mozart. And I'm sure if Mozart was a scientist in the early 20th century he probably could have made a living at it but I doubt he would have excelled to the level of Einstein.
