Good point:) The way GGP wrote it though, it seemed like he was talking about general web bugs rather than security. It's pretty unfathomable that you'd take "it would be too much work" as an excuse for not securing a site against providing public access to its database.
"it would take them too much time to change the code...unless you choose to value their extra work and pay them for it, instead of expecting to piggy-back it onto the previous job."
I heard that's about the size of the new kernel for Windows 8!
Yes,almost the entire 2GB of the windows kernel is a graphics driver. It's been included in windows kernels for quite a while now. Of course, most people replace that quickly, with something from nVidia or ATI.
I hear that just about all hw media device manufacturers are planning to use this, actually....they just want to finish up their Ogg Vorbis support first.
And the rest think the web is the internet. I heard someone on TV last week refer to Tim Berners-Lee as the inventor of the Internet, and that it was invented in 1990:/ I don't even think he should get full credit for inventing the web, considering that hypertext and Xanadu were invented long before.
I work for NOKIA and Google is our primary competitor
NO. NOKIA is your primary competitor, until you sort out the problems that caused you to sabotage the N900's OS and create a whole bunch of ex-customers.
As a long time worker in a G8 tax department, information overload has been going on for years.
That's one or two job types, times many instances. The problem today is that many people are being expected to handle more kinds of work**, faster, and to multitask between them as if there's no context switching cost.
** I mean, seriously... how many ads do you see for IT positions where "experience of hamburger sales, and a willingness to help out in the tax department when necessary" or something similar is thrown in at the end?
"What I read somewhere was that flash video is much more complex than simply showing a video, because it needs to be able to composite vector animation on top of the video."
That's not difficult; you just render to a surface, and overlay another surface. Mplayer does that with subtitles, for instance.
You think Nokia understand phones? Really? Have you SEEN the amount of customers they have, bitching on their blogs about how they feel let down, etc.? It seems Nokia have even abandoned some blogs because of it.

"Broken Windows create jobs."
I'm a window cleaner, you insensitive clod.
Good point :) The way GGP wrote it though, it seemed like he was talking about general web bugs rather than security. It's pretty unfathomable that you'd take "it would be too much work" as an excuse for not securing a site against providing public access to its database.
To be fair, they mistook "nonsense" for a request.
"it would take them too much time to change the code...unless you choose to value their extra work and pay them for it, instead of expecting to piggy-back it onto the previous job."
Fixed that for you.
Great Scott! Why would you want to fire him?!
Yeah, well, if you were a government, you could afford a pony. Maybe even quite a few destriers.
"That's correct -- Microsoft optimizes their video driver by pre-rendering every possible graphic in advance"
To be fair, it is only 16 million different colors of pixel. It's all the CPU-bound pixel-by-pixel copying that worries me.

I was expecting you to say that they don't have to pay taxes ;)
"getting the requirements out of a user is like sucking cock"
Your users must be a lot more fun than ours.
"so they wiped out the project team"
Murder seems a little over the top.
I don't know why you're suddenly on about licenses. I was talking about a completely different subject.
"apparently you don't have teenage children"
Apparently you messed yours up. Now would be a good time to pay attention to other points of view about whether spying on your kids is OK.
"I hope other hw manufacturers follow!"
I hear that just about all hw media device manufacturers are planning to use this, actually. ...they just want to finish up their Ogg Vorbis support first.
"You could just as easlily say that the GPL is incompatible with the App store as the other way round."
Not when the app store flies in the face of decades of standard software distribution/installation practices.
Formal verification is more like a mathematical proof. It's generally done in specialised languages, and doesn't have much to do with test cases.

I was about to say that the military also use the term, but I guess you have that covered with "ignorance" :)
"It's like comparing Windows to Linux">
Perhaps, if Linux is version 0.01, and has been abandoned already.

What? Why the hell not? The test is to converse like a human. Human conversations include delays.
Yeah, I don't know why you said that either ;)
