I enjoyed technocrat while it lasted. I got to understand a lot about americans and how they think. Especially those who don't share my "european liberal views" have been very interesting to communicate with.
I think that I've learned a lot about human cultures from technocrat. Sad to see it go.
And I hope I'm not one of the ones that creep Bruce out.;-)
Wouldn't it be possible to go after the individual bots? It can't be hard to figure out which IP's (machines) are used and then just contact the ISP that deliver network connection to them and tell them to deal with the situation. Have them contact the subscriber and give them a some time to fix their computer, if they don't then cut them off. The ISP that doesn't do this would get a warning and some time to deal with the situation, and after that the ones who deliver connectivity to them should cut them off.
All serious ISPs would conform if there was good incitament to do so. The others should get cut off.
Less than a minute of Bash scripting. Obviously you're not a consultant. "If you're not part of the solution there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem."
Do you honestly expect ANY customer to pay you if you solve their problem in less than a minute? Back to school young grasshopper, you're obviously not ready for the real world.
Put your files on a few small USB-sticks, or on your home server (for encrypted retrieval once you're in the country). Bring a Live-CD to boot from and then "cat/dev/random >/dev/sda". Make sure to grow a big beard, learn a few arabic phrases and quote Allah to the security guard in customs.
Then let them have a crack at decrypting your "encrypted" drive.
Just be sure to say "Just kidding" so they don't ship you off to Guantanamo.
But they aren't. This engine is more fuel efficiant, has been around since atleast 1819 (when it was patented, hence public knowledge), has less vibrations, can run on any fuel and.... well, the list just goes on and on.
When was the last time you owned a car with that kind of engine? My guess is that it might have been around last.... never.
The automotive business is a very conservative business.
This is how things are supposed to work with linux, isn't it? You support your local economy by using local people, instead of sending money away to whereever the HQ happens to be.
I thought this was one of the strengths with linux. Let's see if RH or SUSE has a business model that works according to this reality.
There was a lot of development where I worked before. Things were written with dependancies to specific versions of programs. They would "probably" work with a later version but the developer didn't want to risk that and neither did the business side, so we implemented modules and let the devoper load the version s/he needed.
"module load perl" would always load the latest version but if you depended on a specific version you could always do a "module load perl/5.5.8" which would set environment variables to only get things from that version.
Nothing. But the company buys block-lists from somewhere and when sites start showing NSFW content it's going to be blocked sooner or later. Doesn't matter if I click it or not.
It's not even the best thing. Not having sex when you are HIV positive is even more proof than a condom. Did you even read my previous statement? "..they keep preaching abstinence but that's like trying to forbid good food. It's possible to get by without it but most people wont." People WILL have sex. There's no denying that. So, knowing this, how will you stop the infection from spreading. Please let me know if you know of another way other than condoms that will stop the disease but still allow sex.
Getting rid of most of the current rulers in Africa who seem to believe there is no link between HIV and AIDS, especially Tabo Umbeki, would also help a lot. I agree that that would probably also help a lot, but that doesn't exonerate the catholic church.
Can someone sue them for genocide in the African continent too? Seeing how they must know that AIDS is common there and that it's deadly they still keep insisting that condoms are forbidden. The only thing that can save lives is forbidden.
Yeah, they keep preaching abstinence but that's like trying to forbid good food. It's possible to get by without it but most people wont.
Not that I think that it will ever happen. And now I'm probably on the vaticans "going to hell"-list too.
And that might not be such a bad idea after all. The ones most likely to help the local economy are the ones that have trouble making ends meet. The money they get are almost immediatly spent on buying things locally, thus creating jobs locally. So you might end up with 10 000 local customers instead of 1000 who don't spend any money (or very little so) locally and instead flies off to a vacation spot in Thailand (helping their economy instead). Not very good for your economy.
But alas, its all very uncertain and depending on your political point of view you can find support for either theory.
The ones who believe what Friedman was saying don't think wealth should be redistributed by the state, those who listened to Keynes do.
If you've been in the IT industry for a little while you learn to avoid any and all.0 releases. They are more trouble than they're worth. Always. Windows NT wasn't usable until SP4 I think. XP started behaving semi-resonable after SP2. Vista? I've heard that the latest SP fixes a few of the more critical things (from a users perspective).
OpenOffice 1.0? Not all that great. Firefox1.0? Better than the competition, but good? FF2.0 wasn't without errors. Actually the first.0 release that I've seen that's been fair is Firefox3.0.
"Avoid.0 releases for they are crappy and full of bugs". You can call that haegers law if someone hasn't named it before.
It's almost like they want me to go to The Pirate Bay and get my media fix. Seeing how this is the simplest and least annoying way of enjoying my favorite shows.

Where I'm at the aviation industry do use knots and feet, but the air force use meters and km/h (or Mach).
NepoMUCK? Anything ending in "MUCK" doesn't sound like a good product. The concept is very interesting but the name isn't the best I've seen.
I'm glad that they don't prefix everything with K though.
Yes, I know that Nepomuk means "Networked Environment for Personalized, Ontology-based Management of Unified Knowledge" as stated in the article.
How about a quote from Seymour Cray?
"Virtual memory leads to virtual performance."
Seeing how he managed to build the fastest computers I'd say he had a point.
Nah, that term is reserved for throwing clogs.

I live in the United States. We have a culture.
You know, most of the world would disagree. ;-)
As Oscar Wilde once said "America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between."

I hear google has accuired his corpe and put coils around it. They plan to use it to power all their new data-havens.

We used "modules" in a similar situation. http://modules.sourceforge.net/

Worked like a charm.
Aren't we nerds here? Surely the progressive tech-crowd in America would have accepted the metric standard?
Let's not forget the previous occation when nerds forgot that metric units are standard.

A little more of this stuff and they'll block slashdot at work. Then what am I supposed to do... :-/
I hate to do this but...

There seems to be other things that influence the math score too. The following article points to a corrolation between equal rights and math score.

Interesting read.
Now that's not something I'd want to hear while ski-jumping.
Can an atheist use the expression "The devil is in the details?"
