I am content with 2 Maxiswitch MaxiproII kbds and a happy hacking kbd lite. Each of those keyboards is fine for Emacs since the ESC and CNTL are where they should be (ESC to the left of the '1' and CNTL next to 'A"). And so it was written!
22 years and no hand problems using Emacs with that kbd arrangement. (using emacs on a dec-20 back then).
It's a ruse! That password will get them some important secret info that they wouldn't otherwise have access to, all couched with a fancy cover story about some guy croaking without succession plan. It's my conspiracy theory and I am sticking with it!:)
A customer of ours has 20 coders in Nanjing, China. They can hire 10 coders for 1 US salaried coder. The customer also has a local manager there too but calls in at least once a day to monitor the progress. Apparantly it works really well for things like windows drivers since the training can be found relatively easily and the coder can be brought up to speed quickly.
This is a global industry now. If one group of coders in one country refuses to code a spammers mining tool then some other countries coders will if the price is right. It's like landmines, countries still make these things despite international outrage. Obey the mighty dollar here, codes of ethics and rules may give you peace of mind but it will not stop others from looking for profit.
Klez met pine for a little while till pacbell started filtering. I did look at all the jpg's I got sent... sadly nothing good. *sigh*. As outlook becomes more infested with exploitable features, little old pine just motors along completely unaware that active email actually exists...
These guys (Levin et al) live in a strata that most peons can't even comprehend. Imagine if you can, sitting there, seing on paper a massive payola for you personally if the deal goes through. Now... your task is to spin the deal to the shareholders so it looks like a great deal. Cha-ching.
Nah to really promote the product via a/. story would require that your skeptical comment be nuked also (should be part of the hush-hush agreement, don't accept negative replies when issuing a product placement story.)
Sony had the *best* alarm clock. I have one and they discontinued it. It has two egg timer like dials that select the hour and minute respectively. The hour is a 24 detent wheel and the minute a 12 detent (5 minute granularity) wheel. To set the alarm, just turn the knobs to the time you want to wake up.
Yep. Wrt China, I have been informed by our customer that they can hire 10 software engineers for 1 US salary.(and it is a high wage even with the 10x divisor). The employees need some training but after that training is complete, the employees areevery bit as productive as the US employees. Also the customer reports the work ethic is excellent and 60+ hour weeks are expected. (partially due to supply and demand in the local job market there).
Not the first time Scotland has been leading this kind of effort. John Brown shipyards (QE1, QE2, etc) was building these giant upside down champagne glass looking wave power machines some years back (1996 or so...). I don't know what became of that project but this design was relatively simple, a piston was pushed in and out at the base by the wave current and generation commenced from there. This design lived on the bottom as opposed to the one in the story. Less chance of getting fouled by surface craft.
5Ghz is not a slam dunk. There are regulatory issues in Europe and China wrt Radar. Yep, Radar. The military in China and Europe are extremely worried about potential interference from towns filled with 5Ghz clutter clogging up their radar receivers.
Don't hold your breath on wide 5Ghz adoption anytime soon. It's going to take a lot of lobbying.
The ARM9 family is actually quite interesting. TSMC has a 940T as a macrocell from the fab, so let's assume its a 940T for the now, that means it has a cache, 4k-I 4k-D. There is protection logic for memory protection but no MMU. Without the MMU, only uClinux is going to happen for it. I seriously doubt that little device has the MMU. Compatibility with the ARM7 is close to 100% with differences relative to exceptions (5 stage pipe vs 3 stage), There are some other differences wrt data aborts during load and store multiple.
A nice processor, ARM's compiler tools are something to behold also, really really good code generation.
I have a Rx for the pain. I chose an over-the-counter medication called "linux". Has worked really well without side effects. You can get it for free in some clinics on the net and there are even name brand non-generic forms also. Since I have been using it, I sleep better, I have more hours to be with my family, I am not as forgetful as I once was with that other product that would cause me to lose items constantly, not to mention the time I used to lose. Mainly though, it removes the pain that that other product causes.
I am not a real Dr but I play one on the Net and I always prescribe Linux to my patients that choose to get well!
I remember a company called X-tech who had a graphics card back when. During Winbench, it did a strcmp on "The Quick Brown Fox..." the driver had precached the fonts for that string and not surprisingly led the benchmarks. Infoworld *changed* the string and lo the benchmark performance dropped the card into the morass of other vendors. When challenged, X-tech publicly denied the claim and embarassed the reviewer. The reviewer had the driver dissassembled and demanded a retraction that X-tech subsequently gave. X-tech lost an amazing amount of credibility during this incident.
I am sure all of these Linux Java's will work fine. Can't be any compatibility issues here right? Besides anyone got a good VHDL sim in Java? Also a good finite element analysis program would be great.

Funny you mention that NOVA program. The Lorenz machine had the stroke of luck that day with the double keyed ~4000 char transmission with diffs that became the first break in its design.

I trust Razor implicitly these days and I upped my threshold for seen in razor to 7.0. My spam threshold is 5 so I never see razor listed email.
SpamAssassin is great! I tell all my friends about it.

Looks like that new development shutdown up there to clean stuff up and beef up security was really well spent.
Macrovision puts up that splash on some dvd's that sez:
