Why am I reminded of this Dilbert?

Where is the judge in all this? He certainly has the power to throw out the case.

Also see wire-wrapped and bit-sliced.

Where I work, https is, by default, suppressed as they can't do a deep packet analysis of the data exchange. A specific site can be whitelisted for https for work related reasons after vetting.

No. It suggests that government and media accurately state and report on the risks.

LOL; It's hard to write this with a straight face :^)

If by "scientific computing" you mean number crunching, then all of the above. Not that no other language is up to snuff (Sisal, e.g., or even c, if you have the expertise).

Fortran gives about the biggest bang for the buck for high performance numerical computing especially when used by non-programmers (e.g., biologists or physicists).

...their last meals will tell you which animals live in the area.

I think they mean: ...their last meals will tell you which animals died in the area.

I found the following on the MS site:

What caused the issue?
Until January 2000, export restrictions limited the maximum key length for cryptographic protocols. The LM and NTLM authentication protocols were both developed before January 2000 and therefore were subject to these restrictions. When Windows XP was released, it was configured to ensure backward-compatibility with authentication environments designed for Windows 2000 and earlier.

Export restrictions screw you again!

Damn, Framemaker isn't there :(

I guess "news" doesn't like primary sources...

Hey, if it isn't good enough for Wikipaedia, it's not good enough for /.;^)

...one of the rules of /. is that no poster may state that somewhere in the world is worse than the USA.

The other rule seems to be:no poster may state that somewhere in the world is better than the USA:)

This fascination with McAfee rivals the "Diana is still dead" nonsense (including the annual repeats).

So what I gather from all these comments is that CFLs are less robust in all important respects: power stability, switches, and enclosures, all of which are common. In addition, they are more expensive and they produce a harsh light.

I wanted to use them for all the right reasons, but went through 3 packs of 8 in under two years (actually, there is still one working).

I'll wait until they're ready to real life, thanks.

Now if we can only get them in white light!

Better a principled neck-beard than a whiny chin-beard;^)
