Just following links in Eschaton's feed - and a Java Error went 'modal" (Winders XP). Had to resort to Task Manager to kill both the Java dialog and the app. Javaw.exe was at 99% CPU, and holding.
I have been wondering why I don't seem to be ageing as fast, these past months. Now, Slashdot informs me that IBM has slowed down the speed of light, and this is all beginning to make sense!
That "time is relative" comment. Boy! Truer words were never said. Waiting for the next slashdot story - the hours go by like minutes, as I hit F-5, over and over again! Then, when called into my manager's office - to discuss my productivity "problem" - just the opposite.
Life is about death - or hiding from it. "Living Forever" is an escapist fantasy for those who have not faced the essential question of their existence.
And for someone in your shoes it is particularly good because if your intial efforts are dense, obtuse and inelegant, they are also hidden from the casual or even interested interrogator.
It's a ploy to get something manned past low-earth orbit before the end of the decade, when American insolvency will make the whole ball-of-wax China's new space programme.
In Wales, we'll build our own, Cymru internet! Called HarlechNet. It'll be a finable offence to use enlish language nameservers - or to call them "nameservers", for that matter!
And how does Dvorak propose in his hypothesis that these WordStar users ever discovered Macintosh? He claims they are ALL now Mac users - and cannot use a PC.
Later he claims they were ALL once WordStar users! WordStar was DOS, and CP/M. It may have even had a version for 6502 Apple ][s. I never saw the Mac version! Dot codes would have been fun here.
Oh, yeah. It's nice to see that Dvorak can back up his claim of Macintosh bias by making passing allusions to Liberal Media bias. When does he get his own cable segment on FOX?
Maybe the journalists use qualitative numbers to justify their coverage - not quantitative ones. Like "Hmmm... 10 Million people are eating Merde D'Jour, they already know what this tastes like - How about I produce some otherwise overlooked information about this delicious apple tart? I know it is not eaten as frequently, but it is - by contrast - more pleasing and less septic!
These are the same presenters and materials as CanSec West, ToorCon and BlackHat. This is to get this material in front of the developers, who will profit by the experience - and their executives - to get this on the agenda for the business.
Make all the wisecracks you want. I was there this last Friday, and as an old Pen/Vuln hand, found it quite worthwhile.

Beta quality. Blows up with Java errors on simple use.

Just wonderin'. Do all you guys like cheese?
Shortcuts are location ponters for teh Explorer Shell. Outside of Explorer, they are just ordinary files. You can't cp anything to a .lnk file!
Do they want sloppy seconds on the girl I'm chatting up on their lines? I'm afraid my pip take prescedence - even if they want a cut of the action
Yeah. Dissatisfy customers.
I'm partly joking. Customers love to bitch about winders, but "don't break my kid's ReaderRabbit CD!"
Microsoft - for all of its size - has only about 8,000 FTEs on development teams.
I am re-absorbing my own mass! Yuk.
Sun seems to have discovered that the statement, "The network is the computer" does not equate to, "Build it and they will come."
Instead think, "The lights are on, but no-one is home."
Man - you are hot tonight!
Number Six is DOOMED?
They'd all be killing themselves after 200 years, or so. What would a psychology formed in 1000 A.D. - or even 1700 A.D. do in the world of today?
Progress would stagnate too. Read "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions". Also Vonnegut's "Fortitude" and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow".

I guess he hasn't heard what the girls say about him...
"But a programmer learning programming from perl is like a chemisty student learning the definition of "exothermic" with dynamite."
These words deserve to be enshrined in the quotes database.

Zonk wonders about the ploy?

BTW: NASA can't even afford original conceptual art anymore! These images are like a Willy Ley sketchbook from 1959, dropped on to old NASA photography!

Q: "Now what am I going to sit on?"
A: "A VERY big chair, Mr. Ballmer."

Crackpot idea. The whole thing is full of nothing but Hot Air!
That's good. It's always acted like a ten-year-old. :-P
But I got MY tinfoil hat for FREE!
Yeah.
;-)
