I think IBM could be a great addition to this market. It seems like they're due to get serious about some sort of product again and some sort of service application suite seems right up their alley. Now it's a for profit venture out of the

FTP is kind of dying out though. Now the religion of SMTP.. I often wonder how the spam situation would look if we redid SMTP and required certified TLS. What's worse, we still use SMTP for real stuff every day, I get emails from Etrade,

I see this a couple ways. If you pull binaries off the internet, it's hard to say you can just ignore it and don't need any protection. That is exactly the kind of thinking that got us to where we are with malware in the first place. I

What about non-monetary things the creator loses?

Why aren't more technical books self published? I've heard these same things echoed from non-technical book publishing experiences too. The publishers are quite simply middlemen, they can front some production costs to get books in to bri

I saw him on Morning Joe about 18 months ago. I like the idea of what they are trying to do with that show, I like that they have both sides on it, but it has more than enough grab ass (it's 2 hours too long every day..) Anyhow, they

Is there a complete lack of quotes on the record in that article? I see the lawyer's name for dajaz1.com but no quotes from him, no owner is named, no quotes from him... Just sayin'. Everything is not right here. This is pretty basic stu

There is a lot of emotion people have in a question like this. I think the best answer is BeOS wasn't as complete as NeXT. Specifically it had a fairly poor network stack (it was being retooled around the time BeOS became part of palm, no

Wouldn't there be other ways to pull this scam off? Perhaps less outwardly visible ways? Assuming the board is on board with the plan, why not do some sort of stock dilution and re-issue preferred shares or something like that? Conventio

So you're a metabank, and you provide mint like tools for analyzing expenses, paying bills, etc.. Then you provide better customer service or a better experience or something like that? Do you plan to use customers leverage to get better t

I think this is good news, if it all happens. There are some hurdles though. D have always had a nice look about it, a good reliable, predictable, open compiler is a huge step to greater acceptance.

PolyML? It's an interesting puzzle, I'm not sure if it's because ML users and implementers are primarily interested in some other problem and they implement ML as a tool to work on it or if the wars about extending semantics are rooted som

No, you're not. I don't know if it's good or bad or if that generality can be made. It sure can be fun to read at times.

Couldn't you just say: all developers use state machines, some just aren't sophisticated enough to know it? I'd even say that today, most developers use fairly explicitly defined state machines (like there is even a code entity called "st

Well, MySQL has been easier to set up, that cannot be underestimated; I've basically saved off a pair of configuration files I've just reused a dozen times to set up PostgreSQL. MySQL also works pretty fast right out of the box, if you da

I'll make an assertion about this: HP cannot make a winning end to end product with it. They should license it to people who can. They're too big and too out of touch. They can provide some other valuable things, it's a well funded heavy

The way this is turning is really ugly. EJ is a victim, plain and simple. And it's not a simple robbery where someone just tossed some drawers and ran through the place, they took their time and found everything you'd not want them to fi

Is it a departmental problem? I understand that people will cheat and that as technology changes the game it's potentially harder to catch them and that's ultimately not your job. Does the school use character as one of the attributes when

Have you ever debugged a class that used free instead of delete? I can't help but think that people that suggest this stuff simply look at lists of features and see "lambda" and think C++ has somehow been modernized. Still fundamentally, i

I get that. It's probably related to how many libraries you use and a lot of other things? There might be pathological ways to make it happen more frequently. It all depends on how and when it happens though.

I kind of branded it a bit "douchey" at first too but then as I thought about it, it seemed remarkably restrained considering he debugged this issue. It's not like this happened all the time, had to get kind of lucky and build and calibr

So you were sharing "virtual servers" with other companies and the FBI seized the actual servers? Or something to that effect? That raises some interesting questions, the impression every seems to be operating on is that they stormed in a

What do you want them to do? What's reasonable? How long do you think it took them to figure out the extent? (They still don't fully know it!) There are absolutely business concerns that warrant acting with some measured prudence. The

It seems reasonable to me.. I vaguely remember the car actually breaking in some way, maybe even a couple times. I can't say I was in the market for a Tesla, but the range wasn't what sounded bad to me, I was left under the impression th

I'll chime in on this.. Some buddies and I have been debating this since the comodo stuff first started leaking out. First off, there is a different sort of modern attack that's far worse than most others, and it's attacking the trust m

That's TV. The whole viewing world has been conditioned that way. I briefly worked on a set-top box for a major media distributor and you'd be shocked by the support calls, when TV stops working, people freak the ef out. TV stops workin

Sure is a lot of "google's in trouble" chatter in the echo chamber the last couple weeks. All because of a couple of subjective search tests? Honestly, if you want to spin a good "Google collapse" yarn, start with how advertising is a der
