I disagree. How to do things the Java way for large applications is not the same as how to do things the Lisp way or the Python way. Anyone who's worked on a large project will know that...
I would even say that most programmers do NOT know programming pretty well. They know some programming and can get their day to day tasks done in a mediocre way. Anyone who's worked on a large project will know that...
And to top it off, I'd also say that working in a corporate environment, where it's typical to buy software from a 3rd party and then modify it and finally implement it, shows us that software is rarely high quality so books on fixing software and building software in specific languages is more useful than something that focuses on theory, which rarely accommodates the needs of the employers...
Yes, but how many of these firewalls run on Linux?
I've really only seen Linux firewalls based on iptables/ipchains. That's because that IS the linux firewall... Why would anyone spend time building a whole separate one instead of improving what's already there?!
interesting to say that stuff is useless... if programming really is just a commodity trade, then that other stuff is useless. but if computer science consists of more than just programming (which I believe it does) then math is certainly relevant.
I find what Adobe said about software development for Linux simply being hard more interesting than the security question. My experience has been that most people expect any platform to not be as secure as they'd like the same way they've expected their computers to not be as stable as they'd like. The thing they need is good software and now Adobe is pointing out that writing and maintaining software for Linux is difficult because, despite some good efforts, there still is no standard definition for what a linux system is or contains...
the higher cost is exactly why industry will move to that. look at all the vista options. most consumers will say, "i could get the cheap one, but i REALLY want this!" and will fork up the extra cash. well, maybe i shouldn't say most, but that's what the various companies are banking on.

I was playing in a band and we went on tour. We stopped in Birmingham, Alabama. After we played we were waiting for the follow up bands to finish and someone broke into our van and stole my laptop and someone else's laptop. They stole 2 of our cell phones too. I figured wtf, I'll call one of them. The robbers actually answered the phone and after about 30 minutes we convinced them to bring us the laptops back. We met in a dark alley and walked slowly with our hands in the air while on the phones to each other. I held up a couple 20's with some 1's and we did the swap. When I booted my laptop, it went into recovery mode as though someone turned it on, saw the linux boot up screen and thought, "wtf is this crap?! Jeez... I can't sell this... Hmm... the phone is ringing." and decided to try to get money for the crazy system from the owner.
when I first started school there were about 600-700 kids in computer science. after the first year we were down to 300. when the 3rd year started we were down to around 150. by the time I graduated, my class was about 100 kids.
my point is that if kids can't program, they should be given f's so they can either learn they're not cut out for programming or they can start working harder. computer science is a lot more than just clicking around on a computer...

To take it a little further, Miguel has said many times he'd like to move all of gnome to mono. If that actually happened, you should be able to run gnome on windows. Then any compiz work going on is also windows work... Not sure how realistic this scenario is, but it certainly would be interesting! There's just to much to gain from sharing and I think MS is in a good position to make most of the money from it...

Well, my comment was a joke, but point taken...
The article is about how two RPG's are selling in Japan...
I am excited for this game. I loved Chrono Trigger. I think I've played it in it's entirety about 10 times.
I keep my password on a post-it. On the same post-it I have a reminder to make sure I see "http://www.myspace.com/..." when I log in.

so much easier.

What about "would you like Macy's to have no idea you're stealing their stuff? [yes][no][always][never]"

just curious what peoples thoughts are on paper vs. digital since it hasn't really been discussed in the comments yet.

Adrian seems to be implying it here... Can anyone comment?
stop crying. this game rocks.

then maybe windows wouldn't be the best way to transport disease from one machine to another!

It's interesting that dictionary.com says libertine means sexually free OR free of religion, as though the two are interchangeable.
do you mean phoenix?!
Patents are patents. Ownership of the software is what I was referring to.
