It's a good thing the merger rumour was just that because if it were true the new company would probably be named Sirius-XM. Serious sex, mmm... Now imagine a merger of the new company with SK-Earthlink... Ask a earthling: serious sex, mmm? I suspect alien involvement...
Is Portland becoming the center for Open Source development in the US?
As much as any other town with more than 1 famous Open Source developer. One swallow does not make a(n Open Source) summer (camp), even if that swallow flew in from Finland and even if it likes penguins for reasons you do not even want to know.
I liked him better in Smokey and the Bandit. Seriously though, there seems to be no mention of neural networks in this book, so it seems to be just another guide to procedural if-then-else quasi AI. Does it even cover the alpha-beta pruning algorithm?
You may say this is just a pet peeve of mine, but when you say that something has been reduced, at least to me it's more logical to say that it's been reduced from X to Y, instead of saying it's been reduced to Y from X.
Is RustNeverSleeps just not a programmer or are we dealing with a relative of Yoda's here?
SK-Earthlink sounds like ask a earthling... You're right, it should be ask an earthling, but when the Koreans pointed out the mistake their American counterparts at Earthlink just laughed and said: "Yah, right, now Koreans are gonna teach us American!" Maybe asking an earthling is not such a good idea...
Folks will just start distributing these patches through other arenas (torrent, newsgroups, web sites, etc.), or will develop methods (as they always have) to work around the system checks.
And some will just stop using Microsoft products and start using BSD and Linux exclusively. In the mean time, the pirated versions of Microsoft based operating systems (I use that term loosely) will continue to be even easier targets for worms and other types of malware, which in turn will keep degrading the Internet experience for everyone, not just those using Microsoft products. I know there are people who need to use Microsoft products because there is no alternative (for certain games, etc.), but I can live without such software and I hope the BSD and Linux communities will be able to provide those alternatives to our Microsoft-ridden friends in the near future.
You can win an Ipod or TShirt only if you are US or Canada resident....are they trying to encorage inmigration? The rest of the world should not bother about using Cloudscape I assume...
Let's see, most people would need at least an hour to write a JDBC application to search the tables for some silly magic word. Most eligible contestants from the US and Canada who have the knowledge to write such an application make more than enough in one hour to buy an iPod and a T-shirt. So why should anyone even bother to play this game, just for the fun of it? You develop JDBC applications all day long and then in your spare time you do the same for fun... and you might even win a T-shirt. Wow, they really know how to motivate people! Alienating the rest of the world and giving people a sense of worthlessness about their achievements is not the best way to make a product popular. But I'm just clouding the issue...
Which one? I would recommend you try all of them, but in the following order:
FreeBSD 4.11 - because it will ease you gently into the world of BSD with its easy setup, wonderful documentation and a myriad of great ports that build right out of the box.
NetBSD - because it will introduce you to the world of quality device drivers for a very wide selection of hardware.
DragonFlyBSD - because it will show you the speed and the potential of change on BSD platforms. It's still in the early stages of development, so do not expect to be able to build additional software out of the box.
OpenBSD - because it will expand your view of what security is regardless of what your current experience might be. With the experience gained using other BSD systems you should have no trouble installing OpenBSD, but don't install OpenBSD before other systems because you will most likely regret it, it's the least user-friendly BSD system to set up.
After you're finished you may want to try FreeBSD 5.3, especially if you are interested in comparing its GBDE (Geom Based Disk Encryption) to NetBSD's CGD (CryptoGraphic Disk) facility.
Welcome to the world of BSD, I hope your ride will be a smooth one. Let us know if we can help.:)
Me, paranoid? Why I'm not paranoid at all, who ever gave you that idea? No, seriously, who was it? May I have their full name, email and snail mail address?
... of 2,200 adults (only 1,399 of which are actual internet users, mind you) also indicates that 92% of web searchers feel they are confident in their own searching abilities. When I do the math, 92% of 2200 is 2024. This means that Pew/Internet is saying that more people are confident with their web searching abilities.
You are reading this the wrong way, this survey is not about internet searching abilities and confidence, it's about general arrogance and overconfidence. Which means 625 out of 2024 people (almost 31%) are typical pompous I-have-never-held-a-gun-but-I-am-confident-I-am-a- great-gunslinger type of Americans that everyone loves to hate.
Let's not sacrifice doing something right for momentary convenience. Sure, JavaScript is built into most browsers, but it's a horrible hack and is definitely not something to build upon. XML will become as much an integral part of browsers as JavaScript has and when that happens standardized ways of reducing the bloat will be accepted. There is no need for JSON and its crippled kin.
Perfect for the web as doesn't suffer from XML's bloat and is custom made for our defacto browser language.
Take a look at those examples and try to explain how is JSON free from bloat when in fact it is even more bloated and slightly more difficult to read and write by humans? It's just another notation with no obvious advantages.
I for one am not impressed, this is just a marketing ploy to make the public believe that Longhorn and WinFS will be released soon. Just think about it, this new programming language screams WinFS.
But - since HP's pricing has gone worse over time anyway, I think it's time to ditch them for good and no longer buy their products... (and just hope that this whole thing doesn't catch on in the printer industry).
Unfortunately, that's easier said than done. Take a look at the list of Suggested Printers for Free Software Users and try to find a printer that is well supported on BSD, Linux and friends. The list is a bit outdated, but in general it's a good guideline. I researched this in detail a few months ago when I was shopping for a new printer and in the end, as much as I hate HP, I decided that an HP PSC series printer would be the most suitable and economic choice for my needs.
Epson is even worse than HP in many ways as most modern Epson printers seem to be the disposable type which gets clogged up within 6 months in such a way that buying a new printer is cheaper than replacing the head.
Canon printers seem nice in terms of quality, but there are no realiable high quality drivers for BSD or Linux. The same can be said for all the other major manufacturers. Ink cost is also an issue and with HP you can at least resort to refilling the cartridges yourself, which reduces the cost about 4 to 5 times.
After seven years and millions of sales, can't we just let the name of the product be the name of the product?
No. Especially in cases such as this when you're dealing with generic nouns such as blackberry, apple, window, word, page, tiger. Those words have been used to denote real-life objects, animals and fruit long before the first computer was invented and I do not see why we should allow some companies to usurp those names like that just to make their products more recognizable and memorable. Screw that, let them come up with something original!
I really enjoyed using OpenVMS and although I no longer use it on a daily basis I do still have an account on a friend's system that I log into from time to time. That interview reminded me of how wonderfully supportive the OpenVMS community is, even if you don't like OpenVMS you have to love the spirit, dedication and willingness to help of these guys. I especially remember the USENET posts by the recently departed John Wisniewski. Here is one of his posts in which he names the top "F" reasons OpenVMS is not going to die.
TOP "F" REASONS OPENVMS ISN'T GOING TO DIE (Y2K LATE EDITION VERSION)
F)Hey, Free Hobbyist Licenses available on the NET! Just like those guys who don't make any money off their OSes...
E)If OpenVMS was a separate company it would be in the fortune list at 384
D)Xwindows, SAMBA, Apache, Java, COM and all that Open Systems SW On a platform that's always available...
C)DIICOE -- Not just for Unix systems anymore -- Compaq signed a 15 year agreement with the US Government for continuing OpenVMS support and infusion with Open System and Open Source APIs and unlike POSIX, there real applications written to these standards!
B)Shared Everything Clusters with live, redundant datacenters over 540 miles apart... (No Hot Standby here;-)
A)3.9 Billion in OpenVMS Sales World Wide last year -- One of Compaq's most profitable business units
"Xanadu, a project started in the 1960s to create a deep-linked hypertext infrastructure with xanalogical structures, is still alive, although largely forgotten due to the emergence of the Web."
And now you finally killed it by slashdotting it, you webmonger bastard!
Would it have killed you to explain you were referring to the BlackBerry wireless platform or to at least add a link to RIM (Research in Motion)? With all the patent related news about Monsanto lately some people might actually think you were referring to actual blackberries, the fruit.

Hmm, so, how many famous Open Source developers of Linus' stature do you know who don't live in Portland? :)
OK, I'll feed this troll. Just off the top of my head I can think of the following famous Open Source developers who do NOT live in Portland:
