Damn (but jolly well done anyway). MSSQL: The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xp_cmdshell', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'.: exec xp_cmdshell MySQL: Access denied for user 'user_46783'@'localhost' (using password:

I upvoted you because you saw it! Other people have less of a sense of humor :(

I can almost see the jokes about "i want to see the unit tests" and "doesn't work on furries or avatar porn" etc. On a more serious note, this sort of stuff is hard. Google images does a shitty job of it from some slightly unexpected experi

This actually only happens if you don't think first or don't understand ever. Thinking and understanding takes more time than programming in my experience. The same level of fail will accumulate regardless of the language if you don't know

My dumbphone is a 3 year old nokia s40 device. I wouldn't trade it for a smartphone - there is just no point. Battery life is good - at least 2 weeks on the original battery. It still works when i drop it which i do regularly. I've got an s

I'm not saying the focus is, but an accidental side effect is the "pushing up" of labour so that the bottom end of the market have no place in the capitalist hierarchy. The result of this is massive amounts of low skilled yet unemployed peo

50% unemployment is fine. That's what automation is about. Freeing people from mind numbing boring work, which is most of it really. The problem is really what do you do with a lot of people who need to do anything and probably don't need t

This is basically a dynamic DSL. A confusing muddle of syntax and semantics. Will result in pain. Usually when least expected.

That is exactly why I run my own mail server. Also Google Apps broke on me and their support is absolutely utterly useless. And when something gets blacklisted, TSHTF. It's much easier to sort it out yourself.

It's Wired - what do you expect? Nothing quality has come out of them for at least a decade.

This is useful. I will review. I have traditionally used the instructions here which are very mature and have done me well for years: http://workaround.org/ispmail They are absolutely bomb proof.

So far. This will dramatically improve. Original transistors had a low MTBF but the chemical and electrical processes were tuned until this was a non issue. This is literally like using transistors for the first time in the late 1950s.

I was the the OP. The CPU spends a lot of time moving shit around rather than doing work. My point is to remove the distinction between the register file and the main memory so that the entire CPU's working set is linear and no copies are r
258.
by bwarp 15y ago
They do. SPARC64 has hardware contexts. Technically, the architecture wouldn't require this. A process's state would be a mapped linear segment of memory so you can have as many contexts as you can fit in RAM. There is no need then for trad

A memristor is a smaller and simpler component than once register cell. Due to this, leakage and speed of light are less of an issue than the current techology. I wouldn't expect replacement for a decade though.

This is the next wave of technology. It solves so many fundamental problems. I can't wait to have a few GiB of MRAM in a workstation. Load/store architectures may go away due to this. Imagine 32Gb of CPU registers.

Thank you for this - it's a great example of how to do it properly and on how to choose the right tools for the job. Unfortunately the organisation I currently work for managed to screw it royally. Firstly, we mandated .Net as the technolog

Yes you can. You should inform your local air traffic control and get airspace clearance for the launch. You should probably do it very publically as well otherwise some slightly paranoid nations may take it as a threat. You probably don't

They are surprisingly hard to grow like that believe it or not. That's approximately a 1 in 50 occurrence and the good ones command a high value. I tried for about 5 years to grow one like that unsuccessfully. Various conversations on the I

I think both donkey.bas and donkey.net try and demonstrate the platform's abilities rather than promote elegance. Things have just got a lot more complicated since donkey.bas. I don't like the Mac platform as a whole - it doesn't and has ne

What country are you in? I'm in London in the UK, do a 37 hour week, earn $80k equiv, work from home 4 days a week and live about 5 miles from the company (just over an hour scenic river walk or cycle). Stop selling yourselves into slavery,

This individual speaks sense. If you've ever had to degunk an edge connector which some muppet has sprayed WD40 on you will understand. When you wipe the PCB, the traces come off as well...

This is 100% why you shouldn't work for a big corporation. You're a resource rather than an employee.
