Actually, you are not. I don't know specifics or exact numbers, but the way that contracting works with at least a few portions of the government is that, if the target deliverable is projected to cost over X amount, then a study phase is commissioned first, exactly as you describe. At the end of the study phase, then the best solution is to be chosen to go forward and implement the full system. Now, as for that working in real life(TM), that obviously wasn't the case here.
Upshit: noun
1. The worst possible final result; the poorest outcome.
2. The central idea or point of a bad anecdote or narrative verb
1. Performing actions leading to the worst possible outcome. Upshat: past tense verb
1. Having already attained the worst possible outcome or result.
2. Induced actions or situations in which the worst possible outcome is more likely.
That sounds fantastic... something about Dark Matter always reminded me of Phlogiston, just a convient way of explaining what we don't know. Challenging the status quo on scientific matters is always a tough game though. IANAA, obviously.
Okay, that's kinda what I thought, so it's a pretty common practice to name these scripts with the same name (upload.php), not a server installed piece of software. That's a little more reassuring, but not much:)
Yikes. Doing the same search (here ) on the US google produces about the same result. In any case, with myself not being familiar with PHP development, what is the effect of this script? Is it a common thing that comes with a server installation? I assume it just uploads the target file to the directory, how serious is this flaw?
You, sir, have obviously never had the unenviable experience of sharting in your beige trousers... do that, and then you'll think of soiled underwear everytime you hear khaki.
So it's OK if they kill Europeans and Asians, just not Americans. Eh? And people wonder why we've lost the respect of the world?
well, again, this was just my observation of the status of world events... And I would say this: It's not OK to kill Europeans and Asians, but we cannot be expected to defend everyone in the world (nay, if we tried, we'd piss everyone off to no end), but we can be expected to defend ourselves.
Interesting map, I dig it. One observation, the popup text seems to appear randomly when you advance the scroller (all of the text will popup sometimes).
In any case, though I have no evidence to back this up, and am not sure it's even intentional, I believe that by monkeying around in the middle east, we have focused the terrorists on attacking us there, not here (here being the US, not Europe), which, to a large extent, has been successful.
Actually, if you read TFA, you would have seen that she wasn't really talking about a few ginormous servers for everyone to connect to. Instead, she's specifically talking about the anonymity of P2P, and that, for the corporate world to embrace it, the anonymity will have to go away. One way to do this is to have 'centralized' gateways to which you authenticate yourself, which, in turn, take care of the P2P transmission of data. Think layers of networks talking to each other.
Her ideal is having central sites where you rendezvous, so you know what is where. And then the file goes peer to peer from that point.
The OS I build (by hand, though I now have an image I burn) is a minimal GNU/Linux based on LFS which is similar to distributions like Dynebolic. It has low latency kernel, carefully tuned disk access using hdparms and carefully tweaked afs for very large file support. I buy the cases from a custom manufacturer in the UK and they are built for very low noise and low temperature operation using a rear external heatsink.
Okay, that's just freaking awesome. I knew it was possible, but I didn't think anyone actually rolled their own operating system. Props, mad props. It actually sounds like a fascinating project... where'd you get the knowhow to do it? Work / school experience, or was it books and the like? Anything you'd care to share? I'd love to get my hands on a copy of your OS, but I think I know why you posted as A/C:)
Anyway, that really made my day to read this... it is possible to do, and someone, somewhere has done it!
Hell, I'd go one step further, and say I wasn't a competant programmer until I started writing C / C++ for Linux instead of Java. Now I understand what's going on at a deeper level. I actually don't mind using a well designed IDE, after I learned the language (Eclipse with Java, NEdit for C & C++).
I would view this in the same light as I view integrated development environments. Developers should be forbidden from using them until they have significant experience developing / debugging by hand. If someone learns to develop on an IDE prior to learning the language, all one is doing is poking buttons, not learning why what you just did works. Same should go for things like this. Until you understand what it is doing, why it's making the decisions that it makes, and when to use it, it should be forbidden. For experienced developers, this would be extremely handy, if used correctly.
Okay, come on mods... how often can we work a 3 stooges joke into a planemo discussion? (and how often do we have planemo discussions, anyway?). Mod KFG through the roof! That was funny!
What would be more interesting, is it still considered format shifting if they don't destroy the original copy of the work, but instead resell it at the same price (and, one would assume, rip it for the next guy), paying the royalties over and over again? In effect this just cuts down the supply chain logistics that Circuit City has to deal with, while it doesn't affect the bottom line of the royalties paid to the content producers.
Well, it doesn't take too much effort to get an online census for 6 people, and 100,000 sheep. What do the sheep use, anyway, Safari?
Just kidding kiwi bretheren...:)
Actually, instead of saying "And I won't even get started on the environmental impact. I agree with the previous posts covering that concern.", I wish you would go into your thoughts on the environmental impacts. If we design the bridge correctly, we shouldn't need to replace it, provided a study on the UV / evironmental degredation proves that it's a viable option. If it's cheaper, stronger, lasts longer, why wouldn't we use it? Wouldn't it be prudent to make the bridge out of a hydrophobic material, so that the environmental impact of rain and such is reduced?

Yea, pretty much, the only way to get punished is to piss off another contractor with equally deep pockes, as in this case.

what happens when you redshift packet data anyway? (not that I'm implying I think voyager runs on a packet-based protocol, I actually have no idea:)
Don't forget Windows-E, which brings up the windows explorer (filesystem view, not internet view)
I think the parent was actually attempting humor, in stating that, after the apocalypse, you'll have to grow your own food.

Not sure about alien 3 (it's been a long while since I've seen it), but the thing is spot on... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/
Don't bite your dog, or sleep with it, and you should be fine.

I'd really like to see this question (and the extensions to the questions mentioned in the trail below it). Please mod up so it gets asked.
