How do we take this to the next level, how to have a team-oriented Rational Unified Process of making unmaintainable software, or even better Extreme Unmaintainable Coding.
nope, you just have a chip on your shoulder. From the article: "With more than 80 million speakers in East and Central Africa, Swahili is the most widely spoken language in Africa, though a fully updated dictionary of the language has not been produced for 30 years."
you must be joking, there's still patches being released to fix major stability issues. And after ZFS and the Linux support proves stable for a few months then I'd say it's close to being "done". Anyone who adopts a version of an operating system that hasn't been released for more than a year is foolish.
scary, my companies main quoting/billing system was also written in foxpro by the owner, maybe ok when the operation was a mom & pop retail computer store, but now they deal with enterprise grade systems and services. The application doesn't really scale, one person can sieze up the whole application for the whole company (over 30 employees and dozens of contractors). Note this is not saying a bad thing about Foxpro itself, I've seen financial trading companies use it for dozens of people, this mainly is saying our president should not be using his time to crank out/maintain code to run a company with a couple million in sales each year. Too cheap to buy an off-the-shelf app, and that's foolish.
and in that darkened room, it won't matter what that 250 lbs. middle-aged hairy chested pot-bellied balding tobaco and whiskey-breathed "18 year old cheerleader" wears either?
I'm having a little trouble with that decimal notation, could you please write it again with "hatches and cross-hatches" (e.g. -||||-) notation? thanks!
and that's why at the Big Bang I put my original work in an outgoing tachyon shock wave outside the edge of the observable universe, so you amateurs could never muck it up
you didn't make image files of those agse ago? probably could have compressed a whole directory of those floppy images and burned to single cd-r, or just have it on spinning storage.
I see, netbsd.org hasn't gotten around to updating its vax install page, just page dated 1999 about tape booting (with promise new page is coming Real Soon Now) A little more digging and there's this page for either diskless or diskful vaxstation netboot: http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboo t/intro.vax.html
easy, you upgrade to a whiskey habit, which requires no refrigeration and makes no telltale psssst when you open it. Also, indefinite shelf life, sealed or open. when I worked for a dot-com in 2000-2002, we were allowed beer after 5:00pm, and my boss, the CTO, said it was ok if I could keep a bottle of hard stuff in my desk so long as I waited till past 5 before taking a shot.
that would be the league of bloated, overpriced cruftware with obsolete 1980's indexing technology requiring an inordinate amount of manual tuning and configuring? oh yeah, I do Oracle "grid" and RAC clusters for a living. keep buying it, suckers
don't forget the bit where SunOS 4.x was also retroactively renamed to Solaris 1.x, e.g. SunOS 4.1.1b == Solaris 1.1.1b (one of my personal favorites along with 4.1.3)
safe admin using binaries? At least with checksumed source codes and make files you can see how the software was built, blindly loading binaries with no idea how flags & config values are set does make things easier for a lazy admin, I suppose. The BSD do keep the filesystem in a consistent state, unlike the more popular Linux default ones, and XFS on Linux does too. The city/county/muni data centers I work in use Veritas anyway, no Sun UFS on their SAN disks for whatever reason (also they use it with Linux) But looking at Solaris' huge list of patches, you can see many bugs that cause kernel panics, and if you get enough Sun boxes in one place you'll actually see them on production machines at times, even other neat problem with resource exhaustion, hardware failures, firmware issues (even had to downgrade Sun's own qlogic card one time to make it work with Solaris 9 on Ultrasparc). In short, you've somehow got the silly notion that Solaris is other than the kludge of bsd, sys v, sun java toys, tons of jacked open source, and 3rd party licensed crap that it is.
Slashdot Mirror
Scientists find that applied science and scientists caused global warming.
we're back to the bad old days of b-tree+ ISAM datasets
That's basically all any dbms is under the covers, good old b+ trees or even option for older data structures like hashes, and that includes Oracle).
it is also the only Finnish movie
and of course they used not modern mass-produced arrows but those made as they were in England circa 1300 A.D.?

Slashdot jumps the shark
or at least put a switch on them to open the primary side of the transformer, truly turn 'em OFF
fiannaFailMan on slashdot, when the post humored
major features of solaris 10 haven't been released yet, and that will make vendors think twice before certifiying products for it

download??!!!! no, we p2p it like good netizens, besides why waste half the company's nice fat optical carrier pipe not doing outbound?
