1 in 10,000 false positives. In this case a false positive would be a legitimate copy of Windows XP showing up as a illigitimate copy.
tens of thousands (10,000 to 90,000) of people effects = 100,000,000 to 900,000,000 total licences of Windows XP.
hundreds of thousands (100,000 to 900,000) of people = 1,000,000,000 to 9,000,000,000 total licences of Windows XP.
I bet Bill wishes he had that many legitimate copies of Windows XP running. Considering the rate of piracy and an estimate of the total world population of 6,577,889,718.
Can we ban the use of Architect as a verb in IT? Those people have worked very hard and get paid very little in comparison to us. The least we can do is not steal their title and use it as a verb. Along those same lines, Architect and Engineer are registered and licensed professions. Let's not steal their titles unless you think you want to be licensed and have to work years as an intern before you even get to take the test.
You don't ever Chef something, you'd cook it. The same with an Architect, you would design something.
When I was an independant consultant I had the worst boss I've ever had in my life. I got no vacation days, he made me go to work when I was sick, and the bastard was on my ass all the time to find the next gig before the current one was up.
I will never by my own boss again, I'm an asshole.
I've seen teams require a regulation sized ball and a regulation sized field with paid and licenced officials to enforce the rules.
Microsoft can field a team anywhere for any field. But it most likely won't be a winning team of super stars.
Linux, BSD, and OSX have specific uses (Linux and BSD more so than OSX) and they shine at them. In my mind that's the difference. I don't want a whole team, I just want a really good Linebacker.
The Pequot War that you quote in your post is not about sexuality or puritans. It was about money and power. The settelers were devaluing currency and controling the fur trade. Some of the other settelers and the native americans didn't like that so they did what people do. They fight to get their way.
Taking a large leap of faith that you're telling the truth that you have had sex not just once but multiple times with more than one "girl" I just have to say, maybe you're doing it wrong?
I was trying to find the (-1 Out of Touch with Reality) moderation but it wasn't in my list.
In what world is 5,000 to 7,000 somewhat affordable? Is that the same place where the Porsche 911 Turbo is affordable? Or is it the same place where the... oh hell, I can't think of anything else more unreasonable.
Don't even think about using the old "Well, I use it for work" line either. That doesn't make it any more affordable or practical.
So you want to change the way people work to better suit the computer?
I bet the mule would be more comfortable if you pulled the plow for him too.
I've met and worked with far too many admins that insist that they way the tool was intended to work is the only way it should be used. Any deviation from the intended use should be stopped at any cost, including productivity.
Maybe instead of forcing new software on your unsuspecting users you should look at what they are accomplishing with email, why they use it to store all the bad things they do instead of using your file server.
Don't misunderstand, I believe in the right tool for the right job. I just believe that a hammer has more utility than just pounding nails in and email has more utility than just sending and receiving messages.
Ok, I've got five mod points and you make me post something to this story instead of mod.
What would you do with a 'bit' that was "pretty close to 1" or "just a bit over 0"? You no longer have any exact state of data which every language I've ever used has depended on.
The zoomed in "screen shots" of the television didn't show any pixels at all. Just a nice smooth image.
He also could tell the difference between Monster Cable optical cable and generic optical cable while listening to music. Unless I'm off on my optical theory isn't that like saying "Sure, you have ones and I have ones but my ones are more exact ones than yours"?
If only I had some mod points today I'd mod you up for sure. We just developed a custom app with about 3000 hours at $125 an hour. By my math that is $375,000. Do you really think they care if the server is $1000 or $10,000 if the $10,000 is supported better? No, of course they don't. This guy is more with it than 90% of the slashdot posts that I read.
The aircraft burns between 10 and 50 times as much in fuel as it costs for the pilot to fly it. Fuel accounts for 12% to 14% of the total expenses for an airline.
Like how NT will run on a single processor 386 with 16M Ram, a 486, a Pentium, a Pentium MMX, a Pentium II, a Pentium III, a Pentium IV, Xeon, AMD Athlon, AMD, and Athlon XP.
There are also a myriad of other x86 clones running around that it also runs on. It was running on a 6-way Pentium Pro system as of 1994.
Backwards compatibility of a current operating system is not a halmark of great engineering.

It's not a dupe, it's a pirated version of the first story.

Are naked hippies work safe?
You can only put two regular outlets in the circuit after the GFCI.
At least acording the the directions provided with the GFCI outlet.
Ok, so I read the article and it's fairly light. The question I have is how do we get the hydrogen back out?
That's kind of funny. In Chicago (which has one of the most strict electric and fire codes) you are REQUIRED to run all wires in conduit.
Maybe they need to fire your building inspector.
She may not have even brought the kid.
Some "parents" simply use the stroller as a battering ram to get through a crowd.

Girlfriends as in the plural?
And all of them had to pray after having sex?

I like my 1's and 0's just fine thanks
Hmmm. Much anger in him, like his father

And I was writing assembler at age 3.
So you were reading a textbook (which implies that you were reading a lesson) and then following the instructions to create your program?
You'll pardon me if I'm skeptical.

Sorry, no new cars for what a HD TV will run you (2k). Thanks for exaggerating, try again.
Although, come to think of it, you may be able to buy a car from the early 80's with that kind of money.
