The Russian politician was far from obscure, well known and very vocal as a matter of fact. He was also against Putin and Putin's nut job attempts at bringing back the Cold War. He was someone we like, not someone we'd want to kill.
Your conspiracy theory only makes sense if you know absolutely nothing at all about what's actually going on.
Seagate is correct. Putting a hash on the website doesn't improve security at all because anyone who can change the download can also change the web page containing the hash.
Which is why I always laugh my ass off at all these people who use PGP to sign things and put a hash on the same website you download it from
And that my friends is why PGP is effectively useless in the real world unless you physically exchange keys securely.
I'd be shocked if it didn't have remote root holes accessible via network,
Contrary to popular belief, being 'old' does not instantly make you exploitable.
Its not like it runs Oracle Java (maybe it does, maybe it doesn't)
Its probably not LISTENing on the network, in which case its probably fairly safe, how many years has it been since theres been a remote kernel exploit of ANY kind, let alone one that'll get you some sort of access to run code?
But how do you know which is the real site?
Its the first result in the Google search response
In case you haven't noticed, many of the original TLDs have names that are meant to redirect people from the legitimate site to a scam, adding more doesn't make it anything new.
I would argue however, if they're going to play these TLD bullshit games, just stop and get rid of the concept of a TLD. Let people register whatever they want except for existing TLDs and move on.
Well, its
Drawing on a computer is far slower than grabbing a marker and doing it on the whiteboard. You ever try writing text with a mouse?
Whiteboards are NOT FOR CODE, I think thats another problem you're having. You draw flowcharts and make notes on the whiteboard, not write down code that then gets transcribed and compiled.
If you can't express the idea in text and text alone, then you haven't broken it down properly
A picture is worth a thousand words, FOR A REASON.
And you're an idiot.
I don't need to write a manuscript to describe an abstract problem when a couple boxes and some lines will do the same thing. That doesn't mean I've given exact specifications for a problem either.
Anyone who has worked with UML and any real programming language will know that this is true. One UML diagram can result in hundreds of thousands of lines of unnecessary Java code.
Anyone who has worked with UML and thinks you convert that to code doesn't understand code, they've just bought into the UML hype (thats still happening? WTF I thought it died 15 years ago). You seem to think the drawing is the code, and again, you're an idiot. The drawing is a way to describe whats happening in an abstract way so others have a general idea of the concept. It IS NOT the code, its abstract logic.
UML and Java
And thats what he's asking for, but distributed.
This is not a new question, comes up in my office rather often as we have a lot of teams working from different parts of the world. I'm curious as to see what others have to say myself as we've considered a side project to create a distributed whiteboard that doesn't suck ourselves.
One that shares the display between more than one location, as well as does neat things like letting you export documents from the drawings such as flowcharts and things like that.
Have you tried to get a Windows machine without Windows Media Player?
Whats that? No?
Can you just delete iTunes, which is not integrated with the system and removing it from the system is just a simple matter of deleting the application?
You're seriously trying to compare iTunes to the bullshit that comes on any given Windows machine? That makes you look really really ignorant and/or stupid.
If you weren't so cheap, you could have been buying computers not covered in crap for years. Apple has never sold computers with crap like that on it.
The problem is, you want to pay $100 for a $2000 device and ignore the consequences.
Lenovo hasn't actually done this yet, and when they do, they won't be the first.
when you're trying to pretend you're in both places at the same time.
Your trying to say its hard to adjust to the Martian day
Thats fucking retarded to say the least. 40 minutes isn't that big of an issue any more than changing a SINGLE timezone is
Rover drivers have the problem of living on Earth, working on Mars
compromised somewhat by the existing manufacturing technologies available.
Yea, like strength of materials
This is a stupid place to use 3d printing.
Its fine research for other things, but turbines aren't so low a volume that it makes sense to print them. They are pretty trivial to make using traditional methods and are easy to make reliable using traditional methods. It is FAR easier to make a safe turbine than it is a V8 internal combustion engine like in most cars, which is why so many aircraft use turbines (excluding situations where piston engines simply don't work)
Which actually means
This is a really good example of a stupid place to 3d print something, you're not going to get the strength you can get in traditional manufacturing techniques, its going to cost way more and you'll never find anyone with a clue about mechanical engineering trusting his/her life to one.
Do you want to keep up with the world around you?
I was having a discussion with a programmer who is 50 (I'm 38) the other day about the time when you used to be able to write an OS entirely by yourself, and how we both miss that time. It wasn't trivial, but the OS was that small, it could be done. Remember, Linux is just a kernel, not 'an OS', and Linux hasn't been the work of one make for 20 years at this point (Not trying to discount what Linus has done, but he has help
Today, if you want to be able to produce useful software with sufficient features for most purposes, you can't write it all yourself. Well you can, but you'll be the last person to bring your 'whatever' to market/public view and they'll be 20 others that have more features and more shiny than you because they relied on some other libraries. A single person isn't making Windows 3.1 or newer in any realisticly useful time frame. Windows 95 is well beyond the scope of one person.
Even a good modern text editor isn't going to be written from scratch, you've just not got the time to write all the basic editor features and things like a regexp engine. Yes, you CAN, but not while staying relevant.
Sure, there are places where you can get by without dependancies or MUST have no dependencies. Embedded work and Cryptography are two things I have experience with where re-implementing the wheel isn't uncommon due to various constraints placed on you. Note: Not reinventing, reimplement
With that said
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
