4. The IPv6 header is too large. An IPv4 header compact at 20 bytes in
length, while the IPv6 is bloated at 40 bytes. That's right niggers,
each one of your IP packets...
Boy, I was with you. I hadn't given the IPv6 discussion much thought, I'm not on that end of the business. But, you lost the argument at "niggers". I'd like to see you get away with your argument style in a corporate meeting where you are making your case.
While I'm still undecided about the idea, I'm putting you off to the side.
Well, fortunately ODF is in the next version of Lotus Notes.
OMG, Lotus Notes is still on the market? Really? About 10 years ago, I was at a company, they hired a new CIO and he instituted a switch to Notes. Within 6 months, he was on the street and we were back on Outlook and Exchange. We were actually losing customers and business intel because of the mess. That was the last time I worked with or even heard of anyone seriously using Notes.
Wow, they still exist? That's almost like finding out that the Klan is still around.
Folks, this is the heart of the matter. This is what needs to be understood by both sides of the argument:
If you accept OOXML as your organization's file format...
What the poster misses is that people don't...D O N O T accept or reject a file format. They, with the small subset of geeks on/., don't give a flip about file format. They accept or reject a program.
For ODF to be accepted, it has to be part of a program that most users have installed.
Program acceptance is usually established by:
Home users: Use what they have at the office, or what came installed on the system
Businesses: Use what is considered the business standard for their vertical, especially if other businesses require a particular program (vicious cycle)
Perception of Support: He who has the biggest company must have the best support, or, so it is perceived. Also, many bosses and dicision makers have a problem with OSS because they perceive a lack of support structure "Gee, this CAD program is nice but its OSS. Doesn't that mean its 2 kids in their parent's basement?"
Perception of Longevity: He who has the biggest company will be around for a long time, or, so it is...(it took both Hyundai and Kia years to get established in the U.S. because no one knew if they'd be around)
Human space exploration isn't about the soul, it's about wishful thinking. It's about science fiction and baby-boomer dreams of alien worlds and moonbases. It's about wasting a lot of money on the conceit that humans are not alone and that it's either possible to make contact with other intelligent lifeforms or useful to travel to the sterile, hostile rocks of our own solar system.
To apply your thinking to situations already past or currently present:
We wouldn't have spaghetti - Marco Polo would not have made the journey
Half the world would not know about the other half, Cortez, Columbus, Magelen, Drake would not have sailed
We wouldn't have the Pyramids, because building the biggest and strongest is part of the exploration spirit - the quest for knowledge
Stonehenge wouldn't be puzzling you, because the ancients that built it wouldn't have tried to understand stars and cycles of their world
Half the medicines from the modern age wouldn't exist
It is the quest that is built into our souls. It is not science fiction. It is the desire to know and to find out what is around the corner. When you have a significant sized population, the desire to start discovering, the desire to move a small fraction of that population to somewhere new takes root. Westward expansion, landbridge migrations, ocean expeditions all have their roots in this. Always preceded by an intrepid few who blaze the trail and bring back news.
elrous0, you may wish to sit and stagnate, but there are those who will always move humanity forward to newer more glorious fields. We wish you luck, but in the end, we also leave you behind us.
"Not a week goes by when/. doesn't manufacture a little fear, uncertainty and doubt about Microsoft...We look at who said what and why it's FUD. Lots of/. submitters engage in FUD, and we only single out/. because we're/. Watch"
Oh, Sweet Mother of God and Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick and Buddha in a Banyan, if there isn't something specific about Microsoft in the news on a Monday morning, some jackass has to manufacture something so there can be a day where MS is mentioned on the/. front page?
This is as bad as the guy at work that keeps talking about his ex-wife, who he divorced 15 years ago. Let it go! At least wait for Microsoft to actually do something, you know they will.
Human exploration has always been about the inner struggle. Collectively, we watch struggles and use those that struggle as proxies. Our souls go with them, be it a sporting match, a voyage across the world, or a rocket into space.
In the end, the human involvement in space exploration, the human touching foot on a ground that is not Terran, is about the expansion of the human experience and the human soul. It is not about the attendant science, its about Man's struggles, triumphs, defeats, and lessons.
O.k., I get C++. It's still viable, but C? Since I moved to C++ way, way, way back when, I haven't had much use for C, hell, I've even moved away from C++. So, I haven't tracked projects or systems that still use C. Aside from those still doing C on ATMELS and PIC, who is using it?
Damn, I'm glad I live in the U.S.A., where we hold our Government in the highest contempt on a daily basis, and have people like Jon Stewart, Lewis Black, and the folks at SNL and Fox to entertain us with it.
Between Skippy the Boy President, Darth Shooter, Pinched Face Nancy "No Really, I'm not a Communist" Pelosi, Hillary "I'm going to ignore the fact that I've been cuckholded so I can win the Grand Chancellorship...er...Presidency" Clinton, we have lots to ridicule and show contempt for.
I thought New Zealand was closer to Australian and U.S. in freedoms, not Zimbabwe and Canada.
Honestly, why not just configure it to destruct after 1 failed password? (Note: I know nothing of the product, but if you can't configure this, then it is a waste. 10???????? attempts? Great if you have a non-TLA agency trying to crack it, or the person isn't working with a list of your likely passwords.
F*ck that noise. You strap yourself into a seat that is attached to a liquid rocket tank and boosted by a bunch of solid rocket fuel and tell me your punk ass wouldn't go up half lit.
These guys are heros, American and otherwise.
Most on/. would give their left nut and right hand to go up into space, but most of those would sh!t themselves silly when the engines light off.
Tivo..or..Dvr its all the same to me, as long as i can fastfoward commercials
It's that feature alone that keeps me with Tivo. Problem is, the private DVR's don't necessarily have that feature. DirecTV wants me to drop my Tivo (I only dropped my UTV for the Tivo when the system ultimately died, and when I could get a dual tuner Tivo) and get their DTV branded DVR. I have heard that the new DVR includeds the features to allow broadcasters the ability to control what you can skip and what you can record. Tivo, as distributed by DTV, is limited, but there are hacks available to enable many of the DTV blocked features. Hell, there are hacks that let you turn on the network and sharing functions. I doubt the private labeled DVR's will let me do that.
Not all DVR's have the same features. The move by the cable and sat companies to switch to their own units is a way for them to control what you can do with the box. I'm not trying to hack my service, I just want to keep my ability to use the Tivo.
The problem with less-than-lethals is that they were designed with the idea of "at least now there's an option other than shooting someone." That's fair. But the way they're used is "I don't feel like wrestling you to the ground and cuffing you, have some taser." The assumption is because it's called non-lethal (although it should be called less-than-lethal, most of the time) is that the cops don't think there's any risk associated with it. You're not as likely to kill someone with a taser than a gun, but you're still running more of a risk than if you subdued them the old-fashioned way.
I was going to compliment you on the nice strawman you built, but then its a dangerous argument that you make. The police officer is not saying, "I don't feel like wrestling you to the ground and cuffing you", he is thinking, "Wrestling someone to the ground is a quick way to lose control. Weapons, lethal or not, can be grabbed off the belt."
You see, its about positive control of the situation. Cops are trained that the closer they get to the suspect, the more danger they place themselves into, and the suspect. The only time you put yourself in that position, is when you have the most amount of positive control that can be applied to the situation.
When a cop approaches a suspect, there is much he doesn't know; Is the suspect armed, is the suspect in control of their faculties, are they on any drugs, what is their ability to ward off a physical confrontation (some wirey little dudes have suprising wrestling skills and some huge Grande Samoans are very quick).
Yes, there have been cases of non-lethal weapons killing. There have been cases of non-lethal weapons causing damage beyond the temporary (temporary like TASER barbs sticking in the skin or pepper spray causing a rash). There have been cases of non-lethal weapons being misused, like the case with Rodney King. However, compared to the times all these things did not happen, and the non-lethal weapon was used effectively and the police officer was able to avoid serious risk, the numbers pale.
Or, perhaps you'd rather the police just shoot? Sometimes bullets are non-lethal.
Or, perhaps you believe the police officer is getting paid enough to take unwarrented risks? Hey, they put on the badge, they accept the risks.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these things why, it would only cost...carry the 2...move the decimal...can I borrow some elses fingers? Wait, not you...I KNOW what you do with your fingers.
At least in Britain, you can make fun of the Queen, her inbred cheating son, and the Church of England. (Damn, who was that comic, years ago, missing a finger, used to do all sorts of jokes about it?)
At least in the U.S., you can make fun of Bushy, Dick "No, not in the face!" Cheney, Pinch Faced Pelosi, The Baptists, Mormons, and Stogey Boy Clinton.
At least in Canada, you can make fun of...eh, oh sorry, I'm being informed by the Canadian Ministry of Nicey Nice that it is not tolerated to make fun of anyone except those who are intolerant...oh, wait, no, that's not allowed either.
I like UW and their tools. I think they've done wonderful work. Paint.NET is fun, easy, and I love that they are still working on it.

End User ISP? - in other words, your hosting ISP most definately can add to your page. But, can the end-users ISP, insert it into to the stream as it passes through? Technically, this would be feaseble. Are there examples of this?

Finally, I can retrofit the Prius and get it to fly. And screw you guys that want to retrofit your Hummers.
I say we enact a law that will only allow environmentally friendly vehicles to fly. Do it now before Hummers are grandfathered.

There's one for sale in the Bremerton, WA area right now. It's fairly good condition. $24k.
I loved the styling. I hope they keep it, and even make the parts so they can be used on the older cars.
However, with the 6 cylinder in the original, it was underpowered. I'd like to see a nice V8 jammed under the hood as an option.
