Also, nobody was attacked after saying bad things about it. I think.
Apparently you've never been around when someone suggested adding !OPTIONAL! brackets for blocks that could be used instead of white spacing. Same keywords, just using blocks instead of white space. Google "Python braces" if you don't believe me. There are VERY VERY VERY "religious" python devs who would rather carpet bomb your country than let you suggest such things.
Also, tabs tens to be a touchy subject lending way to statements of ones IQ being questioned for using a "non-compliant" editor.
Not to mention, somewhere along the way you would have to make a note to make a test so it never happens again. Possibly compartmentalizing the code and bringing it forward when a new version is released instead of writing new code.
Unless the sandbox is created with a fresh copy of the executable every time it starts... Start Browser, OS copies a clean executable/settings into a sandbox and runs said executable. Upon exiting, sandbox is deleted along with any garbage that was injected by malicious sites.
I think the red title might be a "new/hot off the press article" color. I saw it as well, but refreshing it changes it back. At least, that's my guess.
Yeah, That's my point... but his isn't about Google paying for higher priority... This is about edge caching. It was reported inaccurately and everyone is jumping on Google for something they never said.
What does your grandma attaching a document to an email have to do with work? My mother, who's a grandma (if it matters) has no trouble with this on any OS I've thrown at her except it wasn't word. It was a picture which is more common than writing a letter in a word processing program and far more likely. In fact, I can't think of a time when she's opened office/productivity software other than to make greeting cards with clip art.
No No No. I think you are reading the Article wrong. This has nothing to do with packet shaping or data manipulation services. Google wants to put hardware in locations around the globe so that someone in England hits a cached version of Google instead of having to go across the Atlantic and the States to search the net. There is no talk of dropping MSN packets or prioritizing Google packets. This is purely about locating hardware.
Right... so how is that different from Google putting servers in local ISPs around the world? That's what this "story" is about. Someone ranting that it's anti-NN to let Google place caching servers in key points on the net. (Effectively buying themselves a faster connection.)
It's not like the competition cannot do the same thing. NN is about the data. Not the starting location of that data. It's about removing packet shaping and other Quality of Service restrictions so my game data packet has the same amount of playtime as your business proposal packet. It has NOTHING to do with edge caching or connectivity.
I said nothing of the sort. The code is already there. It's not like you are working harder. People are GIVING you code. All you have to do is merge it with your trunk effectively and you have a better product. Companies that don't do this can/should give up the project to someone with the time to manage it. If you are losing money on it, that's bad business. Sell it off, give it away, or grin and bear it.
So you are stating that the telcos idea of neutrality means that the Internet is their domain and nobody will place servers on their backbone. You are also saying that anyone that can afford to use the Internet on a thicker line than anyone else is violating the neutrality guidelines.
So, hand me you're broadband modem. You are abusing your monetary expenditures in order to bring the Internet to your computer faster than others. We can't have you connecting at a faster rate than anyone else!
This is not some exclusive deal that Google only has access to. Anyone can ask for it... and they can pay for it to.
So, you advocate restricting everyone (Google, MS, and yourself) to 56K modems so that everyone has a fair shot at having the same Internet? Because that's essentially what's at stake here. From what you just said, it's anti-competitive for me to have a cable modem with faster upload speeds than your service and I should therefore be limited to the same connection that you have regardless of my financial backing.
Yeah, that's how I read it too. Telcos think "neutrality" is equivalent to money somehow. It's strictly about removing quality of service traffic shaping. If there is a big dog in the house that's eating all your bandwidth, offer to save yourself and let them host closer to the node.
Isn't competition grand?... or are you advocating that companies go to the tried and true model of releasing the same software every year with a new number after it... or do you like features?
I hope it's not a trend, but this is one of MANY articles recently trying to discredit Open Source models as destructing to the corporate bottom line. It is in part destructive... to those companies that like to rest on their laurels and not improve, learn from and/or advance their software using the free code that was given to them.
I never got into Eve... not for the "scandal" that happened, but because it always felt like what real life would be like in Space. Corporations running your life, pirates killing you for no other reason than, "You were there" and long waits.
This article cemented another reason why I don't like Eve as well.
Again, EVE players are precise and in agreement. They are playing against players.
I don't play games to compete. Call me weird, but I love gaming because you can gang up on some fictional enemy or artificial being, not some real person.
Just make sure that it's done on a Microsoft machine. We wouldn't want any of those teachers telling you you're breaking the law by using non-Windows systems.
I never said anything about throwing them out.;) In fact, I used to steal the peels out of my Mom's strainer when she would peel the potatoes for mashing.
An open source potato peeler would be awesome if I could just pull some potatoes out of a bag and put them in a chute and forget about it. No sense getting your hands dirty peeling taters.
Also, the coffee machine should be piped into the water system so all I need to do is add coffee. If I can somehow skip the shopping for coffee, putting it in the chute part and actually having to press a button, then I'd be even more pleased. I just want to wake up and drink my coffee. The same applies to cereal (or oatmeal), my glass of milk and the TV.
Then again, I'm a geek because it feeds and supports my inner laziness.

Yeah, I saw nothing about required white space when reading about Humanism. ;)
Thank you! I don't know anyone that compares price/performance using a double line chart.
Well, I guess that's a lie. Whoever made up the idiotic charts for this article is probably a first.

I only wish I could give doom for Christmas. It's getting boring with all these gift cards.

Why write an email in Word or PDF format and attach it to the email? Why not just write it in the email client?

Service that ANYONE can buy... non-exclusively.

My day is lightend by this experiment and electrified by the energy in the air.
I gave it the quick once over looking for graphs, or the programs they used... I saw neither.
