Anyone who uses Windows shares frequently will know that even different versions of Windows can have difficulty operating together.
"different versions"? Hey, to get "difficulties" you need to stay at least within the same major version. Otherwise, you'll need to resort to tricks like copying files via a Samba box.
Beh. To me, both items look just like random rocks, similar to those you can find right in the neighbourhood. The rock on photo 2 is simply a bit bigger.
Perhaps my eyesight is just bad, but I wouldn't dare to call this data conclusive. Try again with a better resolution.
just as many drunks but much cheaper Having drunks drink cheaper booze is not a good thing.
lots of beautifull clean land Didn't you mention Cracow in your post?
The only benefit Poland has is being pretty cheap, but nowhere as cheap as India is. On the other hand, we are world leaders where it comes to bureaucracy, stupid laws and corruption.
Like every major company that moved its manufacturing into Poland has either already left or is contemplating leaving. Low labor costs are not everything.
I'm speaking mostly about automobile industry here -- but when it comes to assembling PCs, we got a case when a company had to export their wares to the Czech republic, "buy" them from itself and import them back -- all to avoid a certain law idiocy.
Well, not really. The thing I hate IPv6 for is that it is an extremely wasteful protocol. It has headers the size of an emacs binary. If you use biggest possible ethernet frames, it wastes "only" 16% of the bandwidth for bulk transfers -- but if you use it for anything interactive, you'll find out that your wire is stuffed with the overhead.
It's really challenged in the KISS department as well. Confusing users, confusing sysadmins, confusing programmers... we don't even have IPv4 fully deployed because of the level of complication when it comes to stuff like multicast.
Uhm, to take away the bots, you would have to cut them at the root. And the root is a certain mega-corporation that's a bit difficult to be rooted out.
Er, what's "left wing" about some good selfishness?
The person who I care about the most, is me. If I do something for you, I expect something in return. Be that money, fame, bug reports, improvements or even just satisfaction -- doesn't matter. But, I would hate it if my efforts are used against me.
"free" as in "free for leeching". That's why I really prefer GPL and especially LGPL.
With LGPL, you can use portions of my code in your proprietary programs, but I get testing and bug fixes in turn. If my code is helping someone, why wouldn't that person help me?
If the BSD stack was LGPLed, Microsoft would still be free to use it, but at least it would have to cooperate with BSD. That would make them a lot more likely to keep their sources synced with the original tree, and thus pull in any fixes. Can you imagine a non-buggy TCP stack in MS Windows?
You can save it as a.rtf and rename the file to.doc, MS Word will accept that just happily and the pimp agency won't even notice it's not a genuine native Word file.
.rtf is a fairly limited but widely supported format. And, do you really need to put that animation in your resume?
In fact, the open source driver is USABLE. Unlike the proprietary nVidia crap.
Of course, it can't run 3D, which makes it, uhm, less than usable for 3D games. But, it doesn't crash ever, supports more than one X server at once (important if you want to run anything full-screen, eg. a qemu virtual machine), and works well with the text console. Try this with the proprietary driver: SVGATextMode 100x37x9;startx;[Ctrl-Alt-F1]
Of course, you're right when you say that raping and killing someone is worse than robbing someone off his all possessions. What I mean, is that if you ruin a thousand people, you severely degrade the quality of life for a thousand, inflicting more net damage on the society than the murderer did.
And yeah, unlike most/. readers, I don't care the slightest bit about any "rights" of a rapist. When he broken the rules of the society, he willfully set himself out of its bounds. Being a part of the society has both its benefits and its responsibilities -- if you decide to breach the latter, you shouldn't keep the former.
Sex offenders aren't "white collar" criminals for a reason. They leave a kind of tragedy in their wake your obviously either not sensitive to or not familiar with.
Yeah, a sex offender will screw up the life of a single person, a CEO can screw up the lives of thousands.
Punishments for crimes ought to be related to the amount of damage done. If your spamming run caused the society to lose 1000 man-years, why would the penalty be more lenient than if you simply murdered someone, taking mere 30 years from his life?
This is actually not a bad idea. If you commit a felony, you willfully remove yourself from the society. A shop owner has the right to be warned from those who are well-known to be thieves.
In the ancient times, when democracy was devised, people actually knew things about their neighbours.
Don't forget that whoever is the legal guardian of that 15y olds will be in deep shit.
A friend of a co-worker of mine helped to watch the kids on a school trip. Kids, being the usual naughty monkeys, had mayhem on their minds. Too bad, instead of the usual drinking binge, they decided to have sex. The kids were housed in a number of 4-bed cottages, when the guy entered one of the houses, he saw those four kids have group sex. One 14y old, one 13y and two 12y olds.
The shit happened. The 13y old girl got pregnant. And, the guy now has to financially support the baby until it gets 18y, as he was responsible for the kids at the time.
It's trivial to avoid DHCP. All you'll get is having them all using static IP addresses instead.
Yes, it requires a minimal dose of intelligence, but, the place you need to tinker with is in the very next tab in a dialog Windows points you to with flashy signs. People tend to be clever monkeys when you put a block on their mp3s/pr0n -- and then revert to their usual neanderthal status when they don't feel an acute need anymore.

Beh. First the tree-huggers canned nuclear propulsion, and now they are trying to put down even conventional chemical rockets?
Figures. Let's run to Alpha Centauri before they get voted into power!

0x0000005C: HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
But, if you check it in the MSDN, you'll be really, really upset. The whole documentation is:(the entire MSDN article lifted from Microsoft without authorization -- but AFAIK data of this length is ineligible for copyright)
0xffffffdc, you meant?

if they lose they'll have to pay IBM's legal costs
As it's nearly certain that this lawsuit will end with SCO's bankruptcy, IBM won't get a dime back.
Beh, the tag has changed.
For a proper effect, we need to have someone mod it "Redundant" again and then mod it "Underrated" thrice.

Still, anything that drives v6 is good.

Do I really need to point out how Microsoft is working against us?
Hint: it's not about lifting FLOSS code.
Yeah, but helping people who actively work against me is against my personal philosophy.

Expect MS to treat it like ANSI text.
For their usual meaning of ANSI -- that is, "our own incompatible 'standard' that's inconsistent with even our own software".
Have you messed with console-mode Win32 programming? What the call "ANSI" is bad, bad mojo that bears all marks of intentional sabotage.
Uhm, I'm not wanting to go anywhere near an uncontained mixture of oxygen and hydrogen. It's very, very unstable.
Unless the temperature is very low, the reaction will happen in an explosive manner. And even under adverse conditions, it will happen, albeit slowly.

teehee.slashd0t.org?
I'm sorry, but one of your DNSes drops all packets on port 53, and the other one doesn't even respond to ping.
Could you provide alternate contact means so I can send you my personal data?
You can whitelist most of your coworkers. Not by the address, of course, but by the IP used for sending the mail.
