The majority of mobo vendors have a line of mobos with uefi. It proves that they can do it and have the experience but the fact its so closed the neckbeards wont get behind it and they dont sell.

The only reason UEFI is overdue is not because they are slow in development. It's simply the fact that UEFI isn't an open standard. If UEFI was made an open standard every new computer in a month would all have UEFI.

I'm paying $200,000 for your $1,000,000 working product... oh wait.

As far as I understand WPA2 actually has a mechanism that disallows reading what is sent between each user and you need to rely on broadcasts and such to manage.

What if you used proper WPA2 wifi but gave dhcp subnets of like 255.255.255.255 and then specifically set it such that you couldn't get routed between users. Should be pretty secure then?

In my nerd hope Prisoner 2 would be considered so awesome that nobody would pick on him.

The problem isnt the MBAs or the technical/production people. It's HR who don't have a clue what people need to be hired. They hire MBAs who cant function at their job. They hire CS majors as programmers and sysadmins when CS degrees have nothing to do with either functions.

Dont blame the MBAs and dont blame the cs majors. Blame HR for being such failures. Headhunter and placement agencies are covering up HR failure. What businesses need to do is fix their HR hiring processes.

Fashion industry never got copyrights. Why? They were so easy to copy. If the fashion industry did get copyrights and "counterfeits" were banned. You basically would have everyone wearing armani $5000 suits. So those in power said... 'you are too easy to copy so no copyrights for you'

Back then... songs and stuff were hard to copy... now they arent. Good by copyrights. Though admittedly this would be a hard sell. So it's a fair compromise is gross commerical copyright infringement stays illegal. Warez becomes legal.

If RIM would open source everything blackberry. How fast would RIM turn around? I bet 1 year time they'd push infront of iphone.

When times are good the business people dont listen on how to improve things; why change something that's working well? When things start going badly they cant afford to change. The leadership's failures then get forced onto the little guy and they start to get abused with needing to work their ass off for free... because naturally the business downturn must be the employee's laziness.

The employees naturally dont take it well and just start slacking it and looking for a new job. The business rarely recovers when they start dying.

RIM is dying because of 1 major reason. Their closed nature. Google does everything it can to get developers to their platform. RIM does everything it can to get rid of developers. For RIM to turn this around they will need to become open like google at least. This isnt going to happen without all the highest up execs being fired.

Bonjour is multicast decentralized chatting.

cspace is basically what OP is speaking about.

Yes but where does that isk come from? Where does the ships and ammo come from? It comes from the players. If they sell ships and ammo for $$. Which just gets spawned... this breaks the game.

Basically there's a long list of problems. Everyone understood that the latest changes and expansion were pretty damn crap and there was bugs which came with an expansion like any expansion for any game. Everyone was grumbly/sad but didnt care. The main new addition to the game however was these vanity items like clothes and hats which they sell for $$. The players were concerned but didnt care too much.

Then an internal document leaked which showed they wanted to sell non-vanity things, which basically breaks the game. Nobody really knew for sure if the "internal document" was real or not. After a day or so of anger a mod let loose a vague comment which basically confirmed it as real by calling it a "newsletter" which caused a real shitstorm but they just continued to ignore the situation.

Finally they make an apology but basically say nothing and while they mention issues... they dont address the biggest issue at all. Which made the players that much more angry. Then they have a senior person write a dev blog quickly because the amount of rage and he basically said nothing at all... if not added fuel to the fire.

Rage goes on and then someone leaks CEO internal letter which basically says, ignore the customers. Customers rage more and they demand to know if they want to sell non-vanity items. Which they confirm so Mass unsubscribing and protests. Afterall you still have a month of gameplay at least after unsubscribing so there's protesting.

I finished post secondary about 1 year ago and I had a person helping me find a job and she points out RIM is hiring like 5000 people a year that I should apply there. I say to her, "Android is going to explode in popularity and because of it RIM is going to lose market share heavily and 1 year from now RIM is going to start firing people and since their mentality is so proprietary and closed source they wont change and wont recover unless a miracle." 1 year is almost upon us and I was right.

The reality is that place is like area 51. You go there and you need to swipe ID basically everywhere you go, you could hide the stanley cup inside there and it would go missing for a very long time. A business like this isnt an open business and isnt going to be changing anytime soon unless the highest level execs get fired.
