What a load of BS... it's an assignment of rights, these kinds of things happen everyday. I also have to disagree that it would only be a valid contract if both parties get something out of the agreement. If that were the case then a will would not be valid, since only one party, namely the deceased, does not get anything out of it.
What!? As an american it is our duty to watch the super bowl. And as good god fearing men we are obligated to, that's why it's on Sunday. Now come on people let's follow the rules, there is nothing better than a day of bowling, especially super bowling... now when is it on?
I think he just got lucky, he's no marketing genius. Granted KISS is one of the best known trademarks in the rock world, but it's also one of the biggest jokes in my opinion.
That's gotta suck, bringing down 3 companies like that must really depress you. You should try and get a job with a company to take a job at their competitor.
But seriously, I agree, I think that a lot of people will move to support OSS when times are tough. That kind of thing can really beef up a resume, especially if you can prove yourself on these projects.
well whoever wrote this article needs to get out more. I was recently working with some CS students, they were interns, and none of them had any problems, they all knew C and C++, some were well versed in Obj-C and all knew Python and Ruby better than anyone else in the company (we are a bunch of dinosaurs though). It really does sound to me that the problem is specific to a few courses and a few institutions.
Mod parent up! Serious, nothing beats the Pen and Paper, except maybe the pencil and paper. Once they find a simple way to replicate it we will be set.
That sounds like the postal service or the census.... or political campaigning... I'm sure you could think of a million similar things that predate computers.
I see my humor was not lost on you. But you do have a good point, but I think that the tactics used to fight botnets is flawed in a way. While we should spend time making it more difficult for botnets to exist more time should be spent on making botnets irrelevant. We should understand why they exist and what we can do to remove the temptation for them to be used. Also, if people would stop buying faster computers botnets would be easier to detect. Do we really need anything better than an Apple ][? Join with me, let us throw out Ghz back at Intel and AMD and tell MS and Apple and Linus to shove their processor demands up thier asses... we don't need bells and whistles and transparent windows, shit we don't even need windows. Brothers and Sisters now is the time! We will fight, we will fight for what is ours! Freedom!!!
Firewalls are half-assed anyway, why bother with half-assed security, never do it halfway... I say go full-assed and leave all ports open! Take back the internet! Let our data flow!
Freedom!
DISCLAIMER: I don't know shit about security, as a result I don't keep any sensitive info on my computer.
What is so bad about Vista? I have not used it yet. I've seen it, and I know some people that are using it and they don't complain about it. What's the deal? Is it just that it's new?
in conjunction with the saucer people under the supervision of the reverse vampires are forcing our parents to go to bed early in a fiendish plot to eliminate the meal of dinner. We're through the looking glass, here, people...

When I first heard this crap about Linus not liking SVN I was thinking what a dork, SVN is great. But then this post opened my eyes. This reminded me of all the crap I have to deal with in SVN, it's a pain. I also have to be honest, I've never heard of git, now I must find out more about it.
I've gone beyond the definition....
But let's analyze it just to be fair. Here are a few definitions I've found:
1 Conformity to fact or actuality.
2 A statement proven to be or accepted as true.
3 the true or actual state of a matter
Starting with the first one, to conform to the facts one must first determine the facts. A fact is, something known to exist or to have happened, which by definition assumes that the event was observed, which brings us to my point, observers are fallible. The second definition brings us back to my point again, for something to be proven it must be observed. This definition also introduces acceptance of a statement, acceptance of something does not make it reality. And again in the third definition determining the state of a matter requires observation and again observers are fallible.
I reiterate, Truth is unattainable is it's purest form the best we can hope for is "accepted truth"
How can anyone view something or convey an idea without perception getting in the way. Truth very much relies on perception. Everything is perceived by us or another person, there is no getting around that. Perhaps "truth" exists in the ether, but it isn't really within reach by any stretch. Truth has only as much value as your perception allows it to have, your response is evidence of that.
Truth is pipedream. For the most part truth is unattainable. It always relies on someones perception of events. Even if verified from other sources you cannot know for sure. I long ago accepted that truth does not exist, there is only the accepted "truth" and what I see, and I can't trust either.
I know that the medical research field has a lot of mac users. I wouldn't say it dominates or is even a majority, it was a long time ago when I observed this. Could be that many of the large university research institutions tend to support mac users as well. Again, I don't think apple is dominant here either.
Personally, and this is speaking as a long time Mac user who also uses windows and linux, I don't think it really matters what OS you use as long as you can find the applications you need, or you can create the applications you need. That's actually kind of how I got into linux, I had some ambitious goals for some wild product/project ideas and no applications existed for it. So I was going to have to create the applications myself. I choose linux simply because it was new to me and free. I have yet to really get anywhere with those goals, but I'm glad that I took the time to play with linux.
Someday I predict more people, and not just nerds like me, but general business users, artists and senior citizens will be able to use any platform without having to take a class or read a book. <rant>I think that the OS should be more transparent, and merely a mediation layer. I think they have become too bloated with "features" that should be provided outside of the OS.</rant>
ahhh yes... now I remember. I hate those things too, but for what it's worth I have the same issues on Windows and Linux, not so much on linux, but I've seen it.
I hear a lot of people complain about the finder, but nobody ever says why they don't like it. I have never had any issues with it and actually enjoy it.
Don't be ridiculous! We are all practicing time travel into the future right now... it's just taking longer than anticipated, at any moment I will be in the future, reading this post.

One application is to add scripting support to a java app that has an installed base. And Ruby is popular these days so it only makes sense.
