There's loads of jobs one can do in IT outside of programming. Did you ever think of: 1.) Enterprise Architecture 2.) Business developer 2.) Functional designer 3.) Usability specialist 4.) application manager 5.) project manager etc. etc. need I go on.;-p
Most code-monkeys actually think these jobs are superfluous because its all about the code. This, of course, is an illusion which becomes apparent when you look at some of the most brilliant code that produces the most horrifiing interfaces.
It also shows when individual systems try to interface. The stupidity clearly visible when programmers of different systems come together and start blaming the other for not adhering to THEIR brilliant SOAP/RPC/DBI design is sometimes sickening.
In short there's a lot you can do to help all of us, poor souls, lost in IT to create a better world;-p
YEAH... Markets solve everything. If thats the case why do we need corporations/companies/institutions... and all the other non-market-organized items in our perfect market economy.
The end of the media corporations is NOT the end of culture.
I wonder how animal-rights activists view these developments.
Does this mean that in order to find if it really works where are going to slice open a few humans (there are enough of them arround -just like mice- anyway) to see a gif of glowing human frontal-lobes shining through the eye sockets:)
We leave the actually muddying to others, like Mindcraft.OTHERS?
even if this is from Billy's hands I'm doubtfull it's not "PR we as an open-source community should not be reading".
guess Bill has WAY to much time on his hands to write a peace that takes over 30 minutes to read about Linux.
Maybe, thinking of the time it took to write, Bill is a little concerned(that is, if it IS him!!) about people writing stuff just to get things working:)
It clearly states in the top of the CNET article: The Airboard, which will be available in Japan on Dec. 1, consists of
a portable LCD display that locks into a base station with a TV antenna
and wireless modem.
This indicates that, only for watching TV you need to probably lock
it in it's base station:)
While CT wrote: Interesting, but judging by the picture, it's not entirely flat, so
it will be more of a counter-top appliance, rather than a knee-top.
Now, is it me or is CT refering to the base station.
I can allready see CT's bewilderment with a mobile Phone: "What do
you mean mobile; why is it connected to a powersocket then!!!"
hmm, I guess some laywers found themself a new Item to work on...
maybe I should have become a laywer since they seem to be more in work with IT then I am
Sorry, but I think Apple just wants a piece of the action.
Everyone who's anyone nowadays is sewing someone or is being sewed.
An advertisement, put in several nationwide distributed papers, costs hundreds of thousands.
Sew someone (anyone!!!) as an ICT company and the paperazzi are all over your *ss. FOR FREE (like in beer:).
The only thing you need to pay are the lawyers, and if you don't mind loosing they come cheap. at least a h*ll of a lot cheaper then "TV seconds".
You can't buy the nationwide and global attention you get from a lawsuit. It's crued, it's simple, and it's very effective.
I'm wandering, if a person makes a comment on a website which is situated outside US soil the person still acountable to US law ? I mean , if a person from the states smokes a spliff on dutch territory He's not in violation of any law. And on returning to the US he cannot be held accountable. So, how does this relate to the virtual world.(Not that this website was in a different country, I think). This is a bit like the eBay versus France problem. Idea's anyone ?

Virtual War

I fail to see the point. First of all, without the "strong arm" of the US (and NATO) approxamitly 1.000.000 kosovar albanians would have been slowly grind to pulp by a regime that based it's popularity on making Kosovo Polje "Serb" again. Granted we would have been much more at ease with it since killing 80 people here and 15 people there, would have made very lowzy soundbites, so we would have heard very little of it in the long run (But hack who cares it's not my family, right?) The same goes for that patch of land the size of rode island south-east of Irak (I mean who really gives a f*ck). Politics and political intentions are NEVER honorable. Not because they are dishonest but because they have no value in that sence. Politics are a representation of the will of a population ( I love Polls ). Except in countries like the above mentioned where politics is PRECISELY what everybody in the normal world does NOT want. War is merely a continouence of politics by other means(Crimson Tide). The concept of a toll-free war is absurd because it is presicely that toll which should persuade to act differently. It is however the intention of any general to minimize damage to his own resources. It's a "simple" calculation of how much is what worth (human lifes measured in training and expertize; cold, crude but true). It is much cheaper by any standard to drop a $100.000 missile then it is to lose $10.000.000 trained pilots or $500.000 trained infantery. Let alone the cost of budget cuts when fighting an unpopular war (lots of deaths of your own). It makes perfect sence to use these methods precisely because they are so cost effective. Which brings me to the final point. If this books says on the one hand that virtual wars only cost less lifes on the side of the electronicaly savvy then how come those tanks ROLED out of the bushes. The war was won, NOT on the premise that in order to win a war the opposite side needs to surrender completely and a huge pile of dead soldiers need to prove it. The war was won because the opposite side desided that the loss would be greater than the gain ECONOMICALY. WAR = POLITICS = ECONOMICS It has been for the past 3.500.000 years and it will always stay that way. No tech will ever change that. ps. I'm neither a US citizen not an army man. I was raised a passivist turned in to scepticist converted to a realist hopefull to be an optimist (once).
Dearest/. readers and editors, Isn't this case all about copyright protection ? so, if the source has been included, so should the copyright notice. RIGHT ? Well, according to my reading of the article in/. and it's subsequent postings ( yes, the one in question) the copyright has been included. because the posting from by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday May 02, @05:37PM EDT (#197) starts with the full text of the copyright which means that reasonably anything from that point on falls under the copyright. reasonably everyone has read the posting so it can be assumed that reasonably anyone reading the following source code is aware of the copyright and it's consequences. The source is freely available on the net so it can not be the distribution that's the problem just the copyright. From my view one could say that that is covered as well.
