Not true, you sophomoric pedant
As it goes, the marketing Megabyte and Gigabyte, measured in powers of 10, is taking over, so let's just use the SI units for clarity, hmmm?

See, that's wrong...
"In defence of my fellow students, despite only being taught Java(inc Groovy), almost no-one i know is using Java to code their final projects."
You should use the tool appropriate for the job.
The light-saber may be an elegant tool, but in order to avoid scarcity of time or falling into the trap of application details, a more proletarian blaster may be needed.

Hah!
"There's nothing more depressing for a graduate web developer to be faced with the following list of 'essential' skills: HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, Flash, PHP, ASP, c#, SQL, active directory, Linux, Exchange, active directory. That's for a junior position"
TICK THEM ALL, THEN B.S. YOUR WAY THROUGH. LOOK UNFAZED BY ANYTHING. LEARN ON THE JOB AS NEEDED.
That's how french candidates do it, personal experience.
The interviewer will have no idea what these things are anyway.

Actually...
I hear that they now attack people in Tokyo suburbs.
And this is not from a William Gibson novel.
Posted in US to fork $5bn+ into exascale supers
Yes, but...
it can only be used for problems that admit partitioning into discrete batches that need little inter-node communication.
Not all problems are like that.
"We like competition as long as they don’t rip off our IP."
Lawyerspeak for "we don't like competition and we will try to rip them off ASAP"
"Displaying contempt towards a public servant"
...is a time-honored and entirely justifiable activity, especially in France. Especially towards the rather confused Miss Dati.
I suppose the Lyons Coppers have retained some German Instincts grafted-on during WWII?
Not what you think
Matt was possibly thinking about these Speznatz dudes hitting dummies with an axe throw while doing backflips over barbed wire.
Hell yeah!
There's accessible resources on smalltime boulders out there.
Where's my Weyland-Yutani? Where is my Nostromo and my crappy interstellar 'sploitation job?
It's not up to him
Remind me again when Matt had signed up to become Microsoft Lead Marketing Director?
Clue to the clueless
"using its patents in e-mail, multimedia and other functions"
It's about patents.
That's not something that can be "stolen".
It's an arbitrary area in the space of ideas into which some dickhead can suddenly declare that you strolled in unannounced (even though it wasn't marked) and then demand "royalties".
Sir Francis Drake would be proud.
Not the same at all...
As for the last 20 years, people can't get their head around *free as in beer* and *free as in freedom*. So, once again:
You have to pay for a license and you have to pay for support.
vs. You may consider paying for support
You have to stay outside of the compiled code when debugging.
vs. You may stay outside of the compiled code when debugging.
You cannot add features to your licensed code.

You cannot reverse-engineer.
vs. You do not need to reverse-engineer.
Of course once state and rent-seeking companies come in:
You may have to lube up for patent lawyers

Join the alliance!
Lord Vader is non-voting technical adviser....
Oh yeah?
Apparently awarding one to President Bomborama just because he was either a community organizer or not Bush doesn't fit on your radar screen?
Sphincter!

Stop smoking that black Afghani
You are babbling.
Brain on floor??
Oh it's just Matt.
What kind of alternate uinverse is this?
"HTML5 and JavaScript that, as Forrester principal analyst Jeffrey Hammond reasoned to me, has the benefit of offering developers both client-side and server-side coding."
This is Forrester so this comes with a Boulder Of Salt With Ratbert on Top, but even so...
Server-side coding? HTML5? JavaScript? Does just mean that the stuff the the server spews into the client direction will be a gob of HTML5 + Javascript?
Because in this world, You don't code in Javascript on a server. Why would you want to do that? There are much nicer scripting languages. And HTML5 is not for coding.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Never misses a chance to show her true colours, innit.
You may have notice that the last civil war was pointless
Except to shift shedloads of money and privileges to well-connected players.
I hope they just defederate peacefully before Martha Washington goes to war.
ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOJOBS
BzzzzzzzRRRRTTttttttRRRTTttt
Larry only picks up the slack...
...if a 15 million dollar yacht is attached on the far end of the howser.
Where is that shoot-yourself-in-the-foot icon?
Thus speaketh Dogbert the Consultant
and then he went home.
That's irrelevant.
Next: Pull the rug under the screwdriver. I'll stick with the hammer.
C/C++ have not a lot in common with Java except the pointy { } crap, and that was just to not confuse the programming proletariat.
Posted in Q: Why pay for DNS?
Hold on!
I am confused. Is the hooverup scenario described really a DNS problem? It sounds like a routing problem to me, really?
Oracle will never grant a license to Project Harmony

Let's get physical!
So you want to apply this in Physics? This has already happened. Laurent Nottale has tried a fractal approach to spacetime. He gets the expected Higgs mass wrong though and predicts that the large-scale structure of the universe should be self-similar, of which there is not a whole lot of evidence (it's more like a synaptic mess, innit). Maybe he tries too hard:

Hmmm...
....try to do it on an Z-80 based MSX in Microsoft Basic.
At least something to look forward to when Mom wakes you up in the morning, Coz school .. nah.
Oh Yeah?
"Preferably none these networks should use TCP/IP, since using other protocols makes accidental or inadvertent connection that much less possible."
Hey, pointy-haired boss.
Your sandwich, sir.
The Horror. The Horror...
"Cold war doctrines on how to respond to nuclear attack need to be applied to the 21st century threats of cyber attacks and espionage"
STOP READING.
A serbian robot maybe?
It just needs tatoos and that arm
as well as a deep voice in which to ask you whether you have a problem.
There are those US Internet Police Scanner streaming sites..
These are oftentimes hilarious, sometimes not.
Also, the operator ladies let loose with some really lowbrow wisecracks.
Awarding yourself 1% more for each day past due?
What happens if you are at 100%? You declare victory and go home??
This guy should be working at the Federal Reserve.
So how is that gonna work?
"Clarke said that many nations had offensive cybercrime capabilities, arguing that some form of arm control talks on cyberweapons might be needed."
I would like to see talks at the UN would preclude nations-states from developing some kind of software to be used as a weapon (though Clarke does not seem to mention how this Kuang Grade Fantasy is actually related to the Real World) while the same talks do not preclude nations-states from developing and hoarding nukes and giving the two-finger salute about it to all & sundry (and I'm not talking about Iran but the perennial wailing victim on the Mediterranean)
In the end, I guess this just boils down to a book tour.
Batteries, Aziz!
Maybe so, but that's nothing that cannot be fixed by some infrastructure work.
OTOH, the latest "cybergeddon" alert level pushed among others by Terrorexpert Richard Clarke (See http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/04/cyberwar-richard-clarke/ and http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/silverbullet ) which is being used among other to shovel tax monies to dubious companies and to hand the Nobel Peace Laureate an Internet Kill Switch is NOT about accidents...
Looks like "aggregate demand" will take a hit then.
Shouldn't be a problem though. Trivially, tax reductions made possible by less gummint spending should leave more money in the private sector, thus those jobs will reappear elsewhere.
What, no tax reductions? Borrowing from the future, were we? Someone ate the cake already, in a sense.
Well then, prices (including prices for labor) will have to go down. Cue union bosses smelling a good occasion to raise their notoriety.
Attention Schneier: YOU value privacy. People do do NOT value privacy.
"There's no [commercial] market for a Facebook privacy add-on but if Facebook added extra privacy controls people would want it,"
People would also want a free pony if you delivered it to them.
And they would probably tend to the pony more than they would to their "privacy controls".
Hah!
He would probably call for a bailout.
Oh yeah?
“There is no reason why Government should not be as efficient as any good business."
One of the most fracking STUPID things I have ever heard.
Of course there is a good reason. It's the Government. If someone messes up, he gets a BIGGER BUDGET instead of a roach lodge under an underpass.
Hey, let's vote ourselves a pay rise. Hell yeah, that would be the ticket.
Obama this and that.
He can decide all he wants, it's really out of his hands.
How's the next round of "quantitative easing" coming?
Posted in Ubuntu 10.10: date with destiny missed
Hey, prof..
...ever used a Linux system in Real Life?
Where like, programs are running that fill partitions to 100%?
No?
Aw well.
Arbeit macht frei!
Or at least cheap.
Big Brother because some people in the Party and/or the Gov are sure to be enablers.
Scanning now...
"It is at the heart of government that the most serious threat to social order is to be found".
HOLY COW! SELF-EVIDENT TRUTH DETECTED!

Duh
This is like mugging some paraplegic in a wheelchair while he is squeezed in between a wall and 4-wheeler.
Arrogant towards Greenpeace?
It's really not too hard.
20 years ago I saw a demo against the use of Chlorine.
I laughed out loud and erased Greenpeace from my concerns.
Never looked back.
Yeah...
...and I have never understood how that is even possible,
The GPL side of the release specifically nixes such shenanigans.

Well, you gotta love the "governement services" part
You can be asked in a deep baritone whether you ever have or currently are providing material support to terrorists.
Then the SWAT team comes...
