The bubble has formed obviously. A new crop of 20 somethings are at the helm, the prior 20 somethings flushed so that the new ones can stake 'first mover advantage'. With a bubble cycle of 10+ years, its essential to keep employing 20 somethings or the employees will have actual memory or working in the bubble economy. (not to mention a) most likely single b) low wages). But... its not a Ponzi scheme right? (if we could just get some more eyeballs)...
Then I read the Grove in SF on Chestnut is folding under the crippling 20k/mo rent (50% rent increase). Somethings driving up prices... wonder what?;)
There I was, deep in dreamland one night when, from my server room I heard a faint beeping noise at regular intervals... Groggy, I wake up, totter over to the 'server room' door (spare bedroom) and have a gander. In a groggy state it took me a moment in the dark to perceive what was going on, the APC UPS was power cycling the server and other ancillary items at a regular interval, turns out, when the battery goes south, the UPC just crowbars the AC and reboots (repeat...). Now, HD's were connected to the server and each one was cycling up for a few seconds, then spun down only momentarily etc. Terrible on spinning media. Luckily all was well in the end but its important to understand the failure modes on UPCs for your application esp if spinning media is connected.
How many vendors are going to patch some obsolete hw to get the lib updated? I would be surprised if they can build images for some of those old products. That said, it seems a bit of an uphill crack, you have to know the target CPU, the lib version, and prepare a useful injection rather than just a denial of service. Still, it is interesting that people are still acting as documented on data coming over the wire, sprintfs into buffers with %s was an eye opener to me. These days for web stuff I use the c++ string class, fixed c buffers look weak to me with unvalidated socket input.
In this case though, Patraeus and Broadwell did not actually send but just left unfinished drafts. w/o a warrent, gmail still handed over the drafts, nothing to graph if it all just sits there 'unfinished'.
In a rather Bender-esque way, the literal translation from Mandarin for its populi (the PM2.5 breathers) is "Meat vacuums", and not in a good way I might add.
I agree. Now they are in the boy who cried wolf domain for the next 'big thing' they want to talk about. They had CNBC all in a titter this morning ready to 'live blog' etc, CNBC is totally centred on the bottom line, this in their parlance would be a 'miss' since they were looking for wow (hardware, a goog competitor etc). No wow, just meh. Some CS folks at FB got to crack the spines open on their seldom used graph theory books from school.
The connected rabbit could do this, you move the ears and if so set up via "communing" the ears at the other rabbit moved also. It was better than that lamp as you could send a message also and the message would be read out loud, or send a song for that matter with lightshow and choreographed ear motions.
Win2K in VMware on the lan w/a static ip. Just for Outlook(lookout) though. Many other apps have faded away from versionitis.
Corporate gives out Windows7 laptops and there are many many XP machines still that will prob never fade away as they are in lab settings hooked up to equipment.
Sure and when Qualcomm and Apple get a hold of the 64bit ARM rtl, once they hand tune it (as they have done already with v7 cores), I don't think intel will have a lot of leeway to gouge since low cost alternatives will be available.
Arm played this really well. Start from embedded and then move up to workstation silicon vs Mips who did the opposite.
I was inquiring w/Perlman for a friend that was about to interview there. He turned it around and tried to recruit me...(my friend did get the job however... along with a couple of other past co-workers...)
I told him in email I was comfortable and did not want to risk a startup given I had a good paying stable job.
to quote the Blues Brothers: "You'll never get Matt and Mr Fabulous outta them high paying gigs"
Same algorithm. My sock choice is white though (tube socks from Target). The shoes, multiple pairs of Merrell Encore black slipons, good with jeans or even more formal if needed. Multiple pairs because any good fitting shoe may suddenly get phased out and if you like it, you need backups.
Scenario: stoplights out for 2 wide 4lane boulevards with multiple left turn lanes.
Cop is in the centre directing traffic, alternately waving some through etc. This scene is bad enough when there are humans running the show. What would GOOG's car do? That would be my Q. Give it a couple of tests, need to make a left and a need to go straight through. (add some bad weather for good measure (thus the reason for the lights out).

Just put sshd on a port of your choosing and light it up with a secret knock, disconnect and its back to a brick wall, no port reponses.

Wouldn't be a bad investment opp for a cardiac surgeon...

Somewhere then, there are 9 disgruntled Philips clothes iron design teams who are burning their hands waiting for a new SKU.

How can 10% of a server farm go to that? if(notallowed(X,Y)) { etc
How is that notallowed() function written?
boggles my mind. Maybe I am alone and the Ubercoders at FB really can spend 10% of quality CPU time satisfying that func().

Consistently funny, esp Depressing Comic Week

Why is that not a requirement?
Esp if:
1) You have a semi auto
2) hi cap magazines
3) children
4) any mentally challenged occupant in the domicile.
Make the owner(&next of kin) liable if that cabinet is accessed and its contents used by others.

Hope you don't get cataracts then. They used a diamond scalpel on my eye to pop that acrylic lens in.
A buddy was out with a lady friend, not his gf, and the unlocked candy bar butt dialed his gf. Awkward for him since she tuned into the conv.
cue the Dr Hibbert laugh on that one :)
