so i didnt RTFA but i cant help wondering if this headline is just better written as "google writes linux script!"
generally you see people working in a command line, because they have some insight or minimal inclination to program things of this nature. one has to wonder what google has achieved here if the majority of command line users in a few hours or days could just as easily have crafted the same thing.
in my organization it falls around the copiers and printers. it sits there for weeks and i dont think anyone notices it. it falls in the breakroom too mostly around the microwave, and people never clean it up.
on this as much as i can. seeing it affect home users is okay, but im worried it might have impacts on existing kvm systems i run. I really feel for anyone still running digi consoles. anyone know how this will jive with BMC over lan for BIOS type settings? i want a clear upgrade path and perhaps some backwards compatibility too.
given the outstanding concerns i think what msi is really trying to do is say, "we're making bios better!" in an attempt to boost consumer confidence (dell/hp/etc..) and stock value for the time being.
"one wonders what role a modern controversy can possibly serve within a subject dedicated to a period of history which occurred hundreds of years before Darwin proposed his groundbreaking theory?"
this is not a controversy, there is nothing controversial about something that is undeniably not science. This is the same religious pseudoscience that Thomas Aquinas, Averroes, and Avicenna spent their whole life shoveling unto the masses in a last ditch attempt to salvage the churches stranglehold on mankind as we started discovering cool things about planetary rotation, and human biology. sending a kid to biology class to learn about mitochondria and cellular function only to watch him wander into another class afterwards that demands "science and life are hard but god is the real plain answer!" is an affront to the entire purpose of education.
extend, extinguish, and do it with the help of the floss community. ccmixter.org has some terrific songs. Dont get me wrong, i love commercial artists, i just wish there were less overweight record execs in bently's playing puppeteer with the art.
me from using emerging technologies like RedPhone for droid?
how about I just not use a phone and employ the widely available military grade cryptography for my email? once again on droid.
if we're trying to stop terrorists we're failing miserably. google maps, and most recently the evesdropping on US aerial drones should prove rather concretely that senators drafting security policy makes as much sense as ballerinas making football plays. in short: your doin' it wrong.
suspect anything its that Ballmer will be releasing his ususual song and dance, accompanied by a free copy of Microsoft Office Chair for one or two lucky attendants. dont worry, it is definitely "Mac compatible."
to stop the leak in its entirety. the goal was to control the rate of flow and presumably the public outrage that ensued long enough to permit BP to establish functional replacement well before quickly and easily shutting down the leak. until such time oil could be extracted from the surrounding waters, cleaned up, and sent out for refining. this is called disaster recovery planning and it never entails the stoppage of work or the business.
Estimates by BP engineers stated relief wells wouldnt be ready until around this saturday and sure enough, BP has managed to stall the entire world long enough to have something ready to transition to so as not to disrupt refinery production profits.
now, had the administration taken over the well we would have seen the immediate closure of it, the worst case scenario in business terms for BP as it would have been formally branded as incompetent and likely never allowed access to another US shore again. the CEO is not the head of the company, but a powerful PR tool used by controlling boards of directors to disseminate information to key customers like the government in a timely manner, and as a feel-good effort for the general public to see. CEO's have no control over anything whatsoever and the classic mistake made by customers is assuming they ARE in control.
caspitalism continues, profit continues, and financial advisers to BP likely drove this effort in its entirety from the PR spin to the eventual shutdown of the well. To contrast: in russia the well was nuked, the company reorganized with perhaps a few executions for incompetence, and the operations resumed by better people or with more training. money never took the reigns.
many stocks are valued entirely on speculation? how does one apply logic to that? what about crap like derivatives trading? effectively a "dont ask, wont tell" sort of thing based entirely on what you "think" the value of something that has no value might become?

sure theres some stickiness between second and third, the rear brakes are shot the drivers seat has a crack in the headrest and the color has completely faded out of the 'commie go home' bumper sticker but shes still good for another 5000 miles or the subversion of 2 more foreign governments through propaganda, whichever comes first
my money is on the app just "getting pulled." we're talking about a company that controlled the means of production, distribution, and development for an entire generation of computers and now seeks to do nearly the same with their modern generation of appliances and marketplace. The marketplace is too delicate and too critical to let some movement or politics get in the way, so the quickest means to shut this concern down here is to simple remove the app and pretend this never happened.
I also wouldnt be surprised if apple decided to resurrect one of their classic 2GS series versions of 'go' for the marketplace.
on the developers side would it piss me off to have my cool app pulled for something like this? sure, and hey if i were pissed enough its not like i couldnt show the droid community a really cool version of go.
it either feels like microsoft isnt driving alot of this casual, tactile technology...either that or they just arent getting the same level of coverage as Mac (which is certainly entirely possible.)
another point...Being a techworker i also feel like most of the tablet, slate, plate, and whatnot technology doesnt have anything to offer me, or is flat out just not designed to be something for me. id like something ssh/vi/telnet/fluxbox and FLOSS if possible but it just feels like alot of the cutting edge stuff is also horrendously proprietary and places the user at an egregious loss in terms of privacy and cost. Whats on the horizon to fix those issues? i guess if i ask it another way: when do i get my content back?
only works if youre actively seeking to consume. before freaking out over the various ads that might come across facebook or google ask yourself
do i need to buy?
what does it do?
how well does it do it?
google and facebook may "know" your personal preferences and interests, but in the end only you know whether you will buy something or not, and if you choose not to buy then the collected data amounts to wasted time.
another fact to take into consideration is the prevalence of noscript, which may prevent or restrict the pay-per-click functionality of some advertising. in other words: Tracking IE is fairly mundane; tracking a user concerned about their privacy proves rather difficult at the end of the day and is something these companies are constantly working to achieve.
a hard sell for me. The entire point of linux and me switching to it was the privacy and security. What is my incentive to switch from a floss browser on a floss OS to a nonfree browser (or not as free as id like to see it) which saps my bandwidth on the backend to report my surfing habits back to google.
and no, i cant trust that it isnt communicating with google or wont decide to at some point in the future. The whole german wifi debacle is making this company just as hot to handle as facebook.
companies that over-promise and assume linear growth, observe startup companies with great features and expect retooling their product to compete is a 20 minute job, and have a culture of worthless slags content to wallow in old code as a means to avoid having to learn anything new. reacting in IT to parabolic growth is difficult and patches are cheaper than extended downtime or the methodology to prevent it being instituted in a live system.
So to date this life-giving science has been encumbered by christian fundamentalists and
unsavory patent trolls. If my america pedals itself any faster into the dark ages, ill have to resort to public flagellation as a response to the upcoming hurricane season.

very very good for 4chan, or very very bad...i cant tell.
The idea to stress behind war-oriented robots is to stay away from "battlebots."
built supercomputers and technologies to address the underlying causes of war, and attack those causes. poverty, famine, fear, education, etc...
what we've done is created a 2 million dollar device that pulls the trigger...not very amazing at all.
on this article? seriously?

NPR has posted the live-feed of the leak, and the topkill procedure on their website. so far its not working. i know, i know, off topic.

this has got to be the coolest science ive seen on slashdot in a while. find a suitable nano-shark and we can start talking laser sushi.
