The only thing I see HP doing better than a few other printer companies is bringing out open source drivers (hpijs). There are so many things they're doing worse, first of which is pricing.
The problem with exponential growth is that up to a given limit (say, 40 or 48 bits) you can crack it on your home computer with ease. From 56 to 64 bits, you're going to take some time, 72-80 bits is going to take 60000 computers some time, and something like 128 bits is only for specialized computers, and then at a huge budget. So, if you encrypt your harddisk with 256 bits encryption, how long will it take and how large will the computer be that decrypts it? What will the power bill be and how much will it cost?
20. A method comprising: You pretending to use system X, we check if that's allowed and if so, translate to system Y.
As far as I can tell it's vmware repeated at a higher level (syscall level).
Just wondering, since OS/X is like POSIX compliant, Linux is POSIX ish, Windows can do POSIX (through cygwin), isn't this like making all system calls transformable to posix (that is, running posix apps or windows apps through wine) and then running them through the posix layer yet again? Like, what all unix and windows users have been doing all this time?
Don't those fuel cells (which iirc commonly work on hydrogen and oxygen) produce water? So you're going to be walking around with a wet spot in your pants...
Do you have a freestanding definition of terrorism too? One that doesn't directly or indirectly include "terror", "terrorist" or "terrorize" or something like it?
I've seen copies of at least 3 different magazines about Linux in the computer stand in a generic bookstore on a train station in 2000 next to a few Windows magazines. Don't come tell me now that Linux wasn't known.
Without "unsigned", the signedness of char is undefined. See also the C standard (ISO 9899:1999).
Which explains why in C++ (a derived language) special specializations were made from templates to include both signed char and unsigned char, with a third charT template type for internal "char"-like data.
GCC includes a compile-time flag that allows you to make them unsigned (-funsigned-char).
For those not understanding the word: International means that more than one nation is working on it. This means for instance that ESA (European Space Agency), those guys from the other side of the planet that fly with Ariadne rockets instead of Space Shuttles (talk about lack of imagination), can help fund it.
Example: I'm not in America, nor in the USA (explicified for people with dissociative disabilities, such as not recognising the USA as part of America but as equivalent). I work on the SKA.
What causes the Slashdot effect? Incredible loads of computers.
Reason with me:
1. World Computing had only a Windows client 2. Team Slashdot has the most computing client 3. Team Slashdot has lots of computers running on windows
1. Team Slashdot has lots of computers running on windows 2. Slashdot consists mainly of non-Windows boxes 3. Slashdot (indirectly) has more boxes than you can imagine.
You get that when there's a bunch of morons placed in your team whom you have to tell what to do, how to do it, when to finish it and then again yell at them because they didn't and kept their mouths shut for two weeks because they didn't understand the basics in the first place.
>... they won't take direction,...
They won't accept your idea until you can explain them why their idea isn't better. If you can't explain why their idea isn't better, you never listened in the first place and they don't have any reason to assume that your idea is better. Hint: out of the times I've had this situation, about 80% of the time my solution was best in the end. Yes, of course I'm working on it.
>... because you're dumber than them...
well... wouldn't call them dumb, but just less intelligent. I'll accept a few things you say if you can back it up or at least make it sound plausible. If you can't back up what you say, then don't say it at all because I just will never accept it.
They're not hard to manage, they just need to be able to put their part in the design and if it isn't put in, they need to know why not. If they aren't backing the design, the design is bad. Fix it.
> Thats the major problem wiht pure democracies- 50%+1 wins, even if it screws over a sizable minority. Its one of the reasomns why the US is a republic instead.
That explains it. The US appear to think they can screw over anyone they damn well like, even convict people that have never been to the US based on US laws that don't apply at any time.
The world's largest single-piece telescope is the Arecibo one. The world largest composite telescope is the VLBI project which is larger than the earth itself (I work very near one of the sites). The world's largest composite low-frequency radio telescope array will be ready in 3 years in (mostly) the Netherlands.
See also www.jive.nl (the dutch VLBI section), www.lofar.nl (low-frequency radio telescope array) and http://www.naic.edu/ (Arecibo).
Nope, but I DO have a full-copy of a book that is out of print for 10 years, only 25 years old in IT. It's one of the few books in IT where age doesn't matter, but which doesn't sell well but is still very useful. So, you can only buy second-hand books at a greatly increased rate (original book between 30 and 50 dollars, second hand cheapest is 150 dollars).
The issue is that you can't spell. It's virii or viruses, both of which are acceptable for the OED. You could consider rewriting the sentence to "A real virus multiplies itself!" of course.
Slashdot Mirror
We'd finally have an Ask Slashdot that you couldn't answer with RTFM and you're happy about it?
Try googling for it.
Are they doing great with printers?

Seems like prior art to me.

Is that your phone or are you happy to see me?
Thank you. Now they're going to be known as the Late Memoes.

Was kazaa stopped? Why am I /STILL/ running Kazaa then? With pretty good search results?

Could you figure out that SKA is INTERNATIONAL?
For those not understanding the word: International means that more than one nation is working on it.

You're going to have to do more than that to compete with GNU Hello...
I think I'd better keep working on it then, so it's complete by that time...
Making a function that calls System.XYZ.Init() for each xyz is newsworthy?
Egad... Time to submit my hello world-programs...

It's like the slashdot effect on DC.

It's true. When he asks to go to the toilet it's printed in newspapers all the way to Europe on the front page.
If the world did revolve around him, would he get dizzy?
