My wireless network used to be open so others could use it. I had to put a stop to it last Christmas day, seems like a lot of people in the neighborhood must have gotten laptops, tablets and smartphones that day. Wifi freeloaders simply aren't considerate enough about bandwidth usage, so I had to shut them off.
The only one who need lots of upload speed are content providers -- not consumers. You'll be fine at 10mbit you seeding pirate
Not really a pirate, I just want to host my own website with images and MP3s (that I make...) which just can't happen with any of the upload speeds available to me.
So I have to pay for a webhost just to offer a decent experience. Horray, infrastructure!
Meh, I'm happy with my 10 mbit download connection. It's my crappy upload speed that irritates the heck out of me and Netflix isn't doing squat for that.
Didn't RTFA, but it seems like Kerberos has solved a big chunk of this problem. Authenticate to your device once, pass encrypted tickets around that a) don't contain any portion of your password, and b) are cryptographically verifiable in an offline manner. A big problem I see with it is, who wants to manage that KDC and who would trust them?
case statements are not faster than if-else statements
This is one of the worst comments I've ever seen with an Informative mod on Slashdot.
Most of the time, switch / case statements are optimized by the compiler to use jump tables that are much more efficient at runtime than evaluating expression after expression.
Look at how FreeBSD development has been absorbed by Apple even though it was supposedly "Open Source"
Did Apple using FreeBSD cause the original code to become unavailable for download, installation and libre use? Supposedly, it's still available and still very open.
That number sounded pretty high to me, but then I remembered I work in IT.
I'm not accepting customer purchase orders, receiving order acknowledgments or sending/receiving invoices, you know - the kind of stuff most office workers do every minute of every day.
From that perspective - and also from looking around at different desks in the office - I would say 30 pages per day is a pretty conservative estimate.
Consistent naming is important. It lets you quickly call into libraries that other people have written without having to double check, "was that camel cased or underscored spaced?"
But nit-picking over whitespace is simply annoying. Any person who insists on that much compliance might be trying to compensate for lack of performance in more important areas.
You're painting with a very wide brush there, homeless guy. Are all iPhone owners rabid Apple fans? Do all Windows users think Microsoft makes the best software?
The iPhone 5 is not quite the wait-in-line-for-weeks thing that its predecessors were.
You're right.
My lady friend really wants an iPhone for Christmas. I told her to get the 5th gen, but she decided against it solely for the reason of compatibility. She already has an iPod, several charging cables and a dock connector in her car, and she doesn't want to replace all of them just to have the latest shiney.
But she does still want an iPhone so she decided on a 4S. Apple can take their new connector and shove it.

that required an internet connection for online play.
I hate having to be online to play online!
a) murder; b) physical damage to another person, c) physical damage to another's property, d) no physical damage to anyone.
You forgot e) victimless crimes, such as drugs, gambling, prostitution, etc.
Yeah, but does the cup holder allow me to put Java on the iPhone?
I tend to think that the high end ASUS boards are the best money can buy. I've always thought Intel motherboards only compete in the OEM sector.

My video card is over 5 years old at this point, and it's the newest component in my PC. I still get to play most games at 1080P resolution.
Are you sure those upgrade cycles were really necessary?
$500 gaming rigs do just fine, really. And you can use them for so much more than just games.

That made for some horrific reading. I'll be thinking about it all day, thanks.
Have any creepy new nine year olds in your life lately?
Mr. Obama, are you listening?
No, he doesn't listen to idiots who refer to him as "the 'blessed' leader."

Since the Chinese government has access to wiretap all Skype calls, I wonder if they would be able to access the silent bits of information as well.

Make him maintain the code. That's how I learned to write code that's easier to work with.
That's akin to not changing system passwords after someone leaves the department.

This blog is well written and funny. I've been laughing at my desk for a good 15 minutes now, I plan to finish this thing off before I head home.
Incognito / Private Browsing hasn't accomplished that already?
