ah, but your happy-go-lucky thinking is exactly what causes problems. Where do your nifty libraries get the time ultimately...from hardware battery backed clocks, which have all manner of time issues and limitations, some even only use 16 bits or less to get time from some esoteric epoch date which might be the year the thing was designed, or the year 2000 or 1970 or 1969 and some month/day.
Your GNU goodness suddenly turns to shit in those cases.
that's because 99.999% of the stories are bullshit, same as our legends and myths. Back to my "Thors-day" at work, don't want to make the big god with the hammer who makes thunder pissed at me by not working on his day.....
article can be read in a minute, but a fucking video can go for hours. next time please warn if video, if I want a fucking multimedia experience I'll download some porn....
joe sixpack gets told to run a cd to hook to his ISP and so he does. he was presented with broadband over his 56K V.92 and he bought into the benefits. just marketing and benefit/cost issue.
sure, the x86 part of Itanium was a flop, but the chip is for high-end servers, not joe sixpack. Only choice for clients running VMS, nonstop HP/UX, and for database and certain other app the 64 bit windows for Itanium is good value for money
The operating systems support IP6 already, customers will slap in software in a hurry if it means their net will be cut off. Similar things have been done already. Whiners like you get steamrolled over by those who can do.
And Itanium2 server sales are skyrocketing, I happen to work for HP var, bad example.
you don't understand, there aren't enough ships nor rail cars in the world to move unrefined ore around, and market already did the cost analysis, of course it is cheaper to buy fully Chinese goods than make our own at over twice the cost.
Speaking in broad generalities that are 85% accurate, notice we don't make computers, nor clothing, nor furniture in the US anymore. The machinery has been sold or scrapped, the knowledge lost. It won't come back even if some way to do it here came about, because it would take a couple decades to rebuild the infrastructure.
The game is already over and done, China owns your country's ass. Plan your future accordingly. That's what GuyFawkes is trying to get through the heads of younger people.
takes enormous amount of rock to get small volume of metal, thousands to one ratio. shipping a thousand tons of rock to get one ton of mineral is losing proposition
but the cert industry is a joke, I know because my employer requires them. I have massive piles of impressive-sounding certs in OS, networking, HSM, big iron.......they are rendered meaningless by testking.in, pass4sure.com, examkiller.net, etc. For some bucks you get all the variations on tests with all the answers.
those computers didn't matter much, just terminals to serious systems. the ones that handled money and inventory were the important ones.
by the way, at the time I worked in health insurance adjudication, nothing ridiculous about Y2K bug patching. Unpatched the systems caused catastrophic financial errors. Those who pooh-pooh the effort didn't work on serious computer systems in the 90s.
that's funny if you think the "state of IT" was state of personal computers. The computers that *mattered* were running OS such as OS/400, SP7, VM, Unix, VMS....
Miguel never sees Bill's wife being Bill's butt-lick. Hopefully this crap gets thrown out of open source OS distributions, we don't need to be trying to play catch-up every time Microsoft developers have a brain fart
they'll be sitting in mom's basement e-mailing resumes, employers don't want fresh-out-of-school grads. maybe we need a national apprenticeship program to give young people experience in the tech fields.
aw yeah, baby, I had gig in place standardized on 8088 Packard Bell, 10mb disk, 512k ram with Hercules graphics cards (with CGA emulator, run full color apps, in the color amber which was standard monitor's)
graphics card *had* to be plugged into slot furthest from the processor or thing would go apeshit at random times. bios would run software it liked. and if bios was cranky would overwrite portions of hard disk
Global dimming, and this article, are actually based on real facts. We could have built meaningful case for mankind to change its polluting ways based on this kind of thing. Too bad the "climatologists" instead went for extrapolation and models based on natural solar maximums, and now are looking like idiots now that deep solar minimum is making the earth cool (temporarily, yes; part of up and down cycle, yes). And people like Al Gore and the director of CRU who had to step down made the most absurd and unfounded claims about near future events that no thinking person believes they have any credibility at all. A -ist is not an expert, it is a media label. A punk with a megaphone inciting riot is an "activist". A doped out hippie chained to a tree is an "activist". And a doomsayer alarmist getting grants and making models to please his political benefactors is a "climatologist". See, no real credentials or training necessary to be an "-ist", even if they have sheepskin scientific method has nothing to do with it.
no, you have a 3 to 1 percentage of recruiters who think they might be able to sell contact to real java job opening. Dice and monster are almost 95% B.S.
over half those jobs aren't original listings, but recruiters seeing a listing and making their own similar "second-hand" listing in remote hope they can sell candidate to original job source or even to staffing firm who is in contact with original job source. those numbers and percentages therefore mean nothing. The actual real jobs are very sparse.

we do have proper replacements, spy satellites can drop down to 70 miles orbit. they make the SR-71 look like your great grandma on a walker

nah, it's all done in software and firmware, that can be "upgraded"
they don't hate them, but they're an abundant expendable low-yield asset. Those that sell manure don't sit around polishing and cherishing every turd

Y bugs are named for the year in which they occur, not the year they jump....otherwise Y2K would have been Y1.9K, or even better YMCM
