It sells newspapers though.
And thats the whole point. The idea is to sell newspapers. They will pick anything up that looks strange and taut it.
The same applies for TV news. I wish I remebered the movie but it summed it up....
We want news..not dog bites man but man bites dog!
Though sometimes we do get some nice morsels of news:)
Did I get to fly any TIE fighters, no! All I did was scrub down the hanger bays and hear about all the stories of rebels being blown up.
AA is nothing like the army (get up at ungodly hours, asshole squad leaders etc.)
Just in case anyone else was wondering what the hell balkanization was?
Main Entry: balkanize Pronunciation: 'bol-k&-"nIz Function: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): -ized; -izing Usage: often capitalized Etymology: Balkan Peninsula Date: 1919 : to break up (as a region or group) into smaller and often hostile units - balkanization/"bol-k&-n&-'zA-sh&n/ noun, often capitalized
If you RTFA you will see he proposes counters for this kind of attack. Random time outs but this pretty much kills the efficency gained with TCP.
As for a better protocol. You are quite free to write and implement one. Just find other ppl to use it. Don;t forget there are quite a lot of protocols out there (UDP being probably the next biggest).
You go to vote, get a retinal scan stored with your vote. If you vote more than once, [insert appropriate action here: {use the most recent vote | use only unchanged votes | throw away vote | some other action}].
You can't do this because it is a secret ballot. The votes just get recorded, there is no record of who voted for who (could lead to some uncomfortable situations).
No matter what there will always be some weakness. India has a seperate body to monitor elections and they have forced reelections in certain areas that hint fo fraud or mischief.
I understand the games are getting more and more complex. I think its more a culture of the publishing house.
For instance take something like Mario Sunshine or Zelda WindWaker. These games are quite complex (sure nothing like morrowind) but they look great and are bug free.
I really belive it to be a culture of the company rather than the complexity of the game.

You know if anyone is deserving of prison rape its spammers...
This is a joke. Prison rape is a serious issue and no-one needs to be subjected to it....
ok even sub humans like spammers
I know you young'uns think you have all the answers, but we used to get along with 1337 speak...
ahh the days when 3.0e8 or 1.6022e-19 meant something
Of course we also had an amazingly versatile language called *cough* COBOL, you should go learn it

I'm sorry which one is the SCO exec?
The barnyard animal or the mastrubator?
I know I'm going to get a lot of flamebait. A lot of H1Bs I have met are essential. They have skills that could not or too hard to find in the US.
I am sure a lot of companies have abused the H1B system to find cheaper labor but a lot of companies need them to find necessary skills.
How about actaully improving the system so it is essential labor rather than a cheap way for companies to emplot labor.
I did enlist in the Imperial navy...

This shoudl be every sysadmins giude to user and machine maintanece
so is FORTRAN....
and COBOL
I really like your idea about filing in a small claims court.
IANAL so I what I am about to say may be complete babble. What am I filing for? I don't see any financial damages done to me by SCO.
just some random thoughts
Softwre for rockets/space shuttle is not
/. readers
something that is new.
And I do cringe like some other
thinking about how software houses design and
deploy and this process being applied to rockets.
Anyway there is a really good article on
how the write softweare for the shuttle.
As the article says its all about process not single minded genius/nutter.

public void checkFreeWill(){

Since I like RPGs and shoot-em-ups. I should have long hair...rings around my eyes...and camo pants and talk military style.
Also I have no chance of going on a date with "a real live girl" (maybe a dead one) or take long walks, yoga or help old ppl.
He's only a softweare engineer...just look it up in a dictionary

These have been made since about 1910 onwards....
even soccer mums with cam corders can do it now.
As I believe the article to mean is real time computer generated 3D movies. Well I'm really don't know enough about that
Ok first off...today is Tuesday..thats SCO bashing day (right, I hope my slashdot calendar is right).
But its just nice to go a while without hear about SCO and how its damaging Linux
Tomorrow is boycott RIAA right?
As much as I'd love to belive that I don;t think that will happen.
Stan Lee made this mistake for Spider man, most ppl know to ask for a percentage of the revenue flow not profits.
But it would be soooo nice to see record companies blunder
These acronyms sometimes get me IMNSHO?

yes yes I know I have a sick and twisted mind!
Does this just exclude muggle science or wizarding science as well?
I think the poster wanted no paper trail. A cashiers check can be traced.
