I wonder if monotoring drug trafficing is the main intended use. I guess I really don't mind it. It's just another tool. How could a drone be misused in a way that any other survelance tool can't be?
Pretend you built and configured a server for a company and they called you a week later and demanded that you come on-site and fix their malfunctioning server. Then when you get there they told you that they had a third party install other software on the server to simply "inspect" the installation and now the box doesn't work properly. What do you think you'd have to say about that?
I understand/. doesn't like Diablo, ahem, Diebold. But the concept that messing with internals voids a warranty is commonly understood. Maybe you don't think it should apply to voting machines. But don't make voidable warranties out to be evil schemes devised solely to keep people from trying to figure out whether they're being screwed.
A simple math analogy will demonstrate the formula for/. sentiment. A negative multiplied by a negative equals a positive. Hackers hacking Microsoft == good news. Hackers hacking Firefox == bad news. Any good tech company can easily turn evil simply by an association with Microsoft.
GoDaddy == Good.
GoDaddy * Microsoft == Evil
In the same vein (but totally against any mathematical logic), any company (including evil ones) that are associated with Open Source and/or Linux automatically become good.
Oracle == Evil
Oracle * Linux == Good
China == Evil
China * OSS == Good
GoDaddy has decided to switch to Microsoft servers. That is the first sign of their evil infection. The other sign is that they are now lying about why. It cannot possibly be that GoDaddy is in the business of making money and Linux was hindering that in any way. We all know that Linux is always better at everything. We must assume that GoDaddy knew it was more secure with Linux but decided to switch to MS because they enjoy being less secure.
Yea that makes a lot of fucking sense! Now quell your anger by clicking on the dropdown and selecting "Flamebait -1". Feel better now?
The main use for ultra scalable, ultra high-performance databases is for the core transactional DB of a large-scale app. Most apps that serve the other 80% of the DB needs don't need to be Oracle-grade. MS Sql Server or PostrgessSQL are a perfect fit. In fact, for the vast majority of companies, even their main transactional DB doesn't need to be Oracle-grade.
The only companies who can afford $40k a processor are very large companies. How many very large companies have been popping up lately? No wonder the growth of their DB business is slow.
Seriously though? Why do you have to have a company based in Silicon Valley????? I guess it's like show biz. If you want to make it you've got to be in Hollywood or NY. I guess you've got to go to where the money is if you want the money to find you.
Yep, that along with the fact that every MS program, every employee, every line of code is infested with pure evil and 100% eaten up with lies and greed. So this group of "blue hats" are just undercover MS public-relations employees trying to make a believable report that attempts to brainwash everybody to think that MS really does care about security. Zealots are so entertaining!

WinXP on a Mac, Hoax?
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Yes, but if we could get WinXP loaded on the Mac hardware we could do some sweet benchmarked comparisons. It would really settle the debate about which OS is faster. Wouldn't it?
Or the **AA will just get laws passed in the US that make it illegal to use the Pirate Bay services. Then they'll go after users one by one and sue them like they did with the domestic file sharing services.
I don't know. I don't think it's really foolishness. It's more of being more able to take bigger risks. Taking an entrepreneurial risk is foolish if you have a house wife and kids. It's really not foolish if you're single living in your mother's basement.
What I'm afraid of about your comment is that calling it "foolish" is a way for you to make yourself feel responsible and justified for not taking calculated risks that would really pay off.
I'm just wondering whether anybody on/. thinks that Google profits monetarily from doing things like gMoon and gMars. It fosters good will in the scientific/education community. But what other ways could Google benefit from projects like these?
You, my friend, are insane. Now put on your tinfoil hat, cuddle your teddy bear and go to bed. If those monsters really scare you bad enough go down hall, knock on your mommy's door and have her rock you to sleep.
Some people amaze me. First of all these OEM devices are running XP Tablet Edition. The devices are being made by other companies. MS is not making hardware here. Other companies have determined there is a demand and they are making the product. Microsoft is merely working with them.
Secondly an Origami device extends the functionality of the products that are hot (bluetooth cellphones with internet capability). Who the hell wants to surf the internet on a phone? Who the hell thinks it is ideal to show their friends their digital photo album on a tiny iPod screen? Who wants to lug around a big laptop bag with them everywhere they go?
This device is a perfect addition to somebody who doesn't need to do much more than surf the Internet and check email. But it is also perfect for anybody who already has a main computer but needs something that is the size of a small tablet and has full XP functionality that they can easily and comfortably take with them to a coffee shop, meetings or on an airplane.
I've been wanting a device in exactly this form factor for years. I can't wait till they hit the stores!!!
That's the perfect way to put it. . . "VB syntax is very popular in a Britney Spears kind of way."
Brilliant! It appeals to a self-taught programmer's basic instincts to feel comfortable with an English-like language. But like everything in life, it comes with trade-offs.
Wow so, attend a real OO class to learn a real OO language (C# or Java). Then go back to the old VB syntax just so you're back in your comfort zone? It's much better to go totally OO. Not OO-ified VB. It's just weird man, just weird.
I used to do significant projects in classic VB. Now I use C# and cringe anytime I see people doing VB.Net. It's just so unnatural. It's like restoring a classic car's engine without restoring the body. It's never going to win anything at a classic car show. People will look at it and say, "What's up with that ugly old car?" Yea but it's got a new engine!! It still looks like the same old rusted out car though.
If you're going to go OO, pick the appropriate langage too. I know a company doing RPG.Net. How absurd is that?!?!?!?!?

Stupid Microsoft = new stupid();

VB.Net is syntactically a lot different from classic VB. If you're going to make the switch, you might as well learn C#. Then you will also be familiar with C/C++ style coding.
Nobody will probably see this post since the parent got modded into oblivion. But there's no question that an OS claims to be so simple anybody can use it must also be so secure and bug free that nobody could accidentally screw it up. There's a whole herd of Mac users that still believe the the Mac is un-hackable and virus-proof. They'll click on any attachment they get. Those same people will feel free to screw with any setting on their Mac because there's no way they could ever get hacked.
It's those types that will end up with a machine that is completely hackable. Windows and Linux users are never under the false impression that their machines are 100% hacker and virus proof. So, in general, we are extra careful when we are changing settings, opening attachments, or surfing the web in general.

Anytime MS is in the mix the result is always evil. That's the one absolute in the /. world.

Sounds to me like you got suckered into a "security" job only to be turned into a secretary for anybody who is tired of their busy work.
Yea, it figures. The chicks always go for the handsome guys that claim to offer more stability.
%90k is not highly lucrative. You must be comparing your salary to that of your brothers/sisters and parents.

Exactly. Because even with them around we have to cut off their access to any useful data just to keep things secure.
