...if you are really young, really smart, and really naive, you just might go for it and end up owing Thiel 50% of your idea.
How appropriate that "Thiel" looks a lot like "Thief" if you're sitting far enough away from your monitor.
Microsoft's new slogan appears to be, "Be What's Next," which seems to fit pretty well, too.
Ah, I see, and agree completely. If I could pick and choose at maybe $3-5 per channel per month, it would be worth it for me to switch.
> I think its a great idea but its too expensive at $30 a month.
Damn, where do you live? $30/month is less than the cheapest basic cable subscription I can get without a long-term contract.
GO AWAY! BATIN'!
Excuse me, Mr. Boudreau, Mr. Wolf? You've got something white and gooey on your chin...no...on the other side. That's it.
Pirate leprechauns?
If I recall correctly, it only returned to yellow during the summer of election years, so that it could pop back up to orange shortly before election day and give us a good scary reason to not vote for Democrats. Amazingly, the terror threats always subsided after election day.
No worries, I think he works for Spishak now.
ONLY A COMPLETE MORON will hook up a scada system to a pc that bridges the internet and the secured network, OR puts the whole damn thing on a unsecured network.
As someone that worked on SCADA software for about a decade, I wholeheartedly approve this message. With very few exceptions, every bit of SCADA code I saw makes [insert favorite insecure software target here] look like Fort Knox. You do NOT want the internet getting anywhere near that code.
P.S. Thanks, Slashdot, for making me log in to IE to post. I still can't copy/paste in Chrome.
There isn't much to do with SCADA regarding security - The systems themselves are inherently insecure...
As somebody that worked at a SCADA software company for a few years, and saw (1) the skill level of the core development team and (2) what customers did with our systems, I heartily endorse this viewpoint.
Everything from word processing to simple photo-editing goes on line - or into an "app."
People have been claiming this (at least the on-line part) for a long time, though. I seem to remember software company executives in the 90's drooling over the thought that you'd pay them a monthly fee to access their word processor and photo editor apps from your thin client at home.
'Zuckerberg's dominance can be attributed partly to the clean interface of his site...
...what kind of hell-spawned interface did the other guy make if Facebook is clean by comparison?
In other news, my barber tells me I need a haircut.
I bet many of their better software engineers are making close to that much...
You mean actual, non-management, I-write-software-all-day people making near $250k per year at M$ and/or Amazon? I've worked at one of those companies, and I seriously doubt it--I would be really surprised if more than 1% of software engineers make more than $150k.
To do nothing is to be nothing.
