@Aarthi huh. so it turns out that when I did write a comment, I was offline, and forget to submit it again when I was online... lucky the tab was still open :$
in short, oops.
@RoryAlsop yup, thats actually pretty much the case
@JeffFerland - for what its worth, I agree strongly with what @Rory said.
@Aarthi "so many"??? There are only 3 in total, and I'm not active there at all. Barely active on SO anymore, either.
@RoryAlsop AND PROGRAMMERS!!!
@RoryAlsop wow, you must have some angry midgets over there.
One point to note seperately, while I am of course strongly in favor of the sponsorship this year as in last, the other question is - sponsoring which chapter/project? Up to 40% of the sponsorship can be allocated to a specific one - or two, as we did last year. I think the idea of choosing a chapter/conference, and seperately a (open source) project to sponsor as part of the corporate sponsorship, is simply brilliant. — AviD27 secs ago
@RoryAlsop I flagged the bob's questions, but I'm not sure it can be safely migrated as per the "don't migrate crap" policy. He really need to clarify the question first.
And thanks to SE chat devs for bringing up the @ completion. Take that, you Rories! :P
So is it technically focused configuring/building networks, big picture discussions on how switching works and protocol analysis, or even higher level discussions like, "This is a switch, it does switching. This is an ethernet cable, it plugs into this hole."?
I did a 45% correctness, 45% completeness, 10% style. So, as long as all the test cases worked, they automagically got at least a 90%. The other 10 was trivial.
I'm more thinking of it from a student's perspective. How much development do they do, I suppose.
Since I did my undergrad and grad at two different schools, I ended up having to take OS at both places. I noticed a significantly different level of interactiveness between the two.
My undergrad was almost entirely theoretical discussion of the concepts based on the book (was taught in a Math department). My grad (taught in an Engineering school) was very technical and involved a significant amount of programming.
I was having a chat with someone about something odd they saw related to switching, so I posed the question, "What does a switch do when processing a packet whose destination MAC is not in any CAM table?"
Now, I don't have the broadest of experiences with switching infrastructures, but I have done Cisco and have at least seen Juniper. Neither of those ever used the word "blah" as a command. I doubt any major vendors do.
Well, except maybe Checkpoint. I wouldn't put anything past their designs.
Though Hebrew is even more flexible, you can take the root of any word and put it in (almost) any of the standard forms, and even combine forms. And even for words from a different language...
@RoryAlsop I have no idea how to translate that in a way that would make any sense to you
hmm... but to continue @Mvy's example - the infinitive in Hebrew is "leXXX" (where XXX is a form of the root, which is usually two sylablles and 3 letters). So one could say "lepayeng" for "to ping" (the "y" is added to force a second syllable).
@RoryAlsop hehe. I've actually said for years that AI will never truly work, because language is illogical. Until someone tries to implement an AI in Hebrew ;-)
Kenan & Kel is an American teen comedy sitcom produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions that originally aired on Nickelodeon from July 1996 to July 2000. The show starred friends and then-All That cast members Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. Sixty-Five episodes and a made-for-TV movie were produced over four seasons. The first two seasons were filmed at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida, and the remaining two were filmed at the Nick On Sunset theater in Hollywood.
Premise
The show was set in Chicago, Illinois, and centered on the antics of two mischievous teenagers, Kenan Rockmore (...
I'm trying to decide if I want to get up early next Thursday for this: spaceflightnow.com/delta/d360/status.html I'd have to wake up around 0330 to leave the house by 0400. Launch is at 0530. It's not too often we have these go up, though.
Hrm. I'm thinking about this whole UEFI Secure Boot thing. Does this mean that you need to effectively flash your BIOS-equivalent every time there's a CRL update? And, with Microsoft offering signing services for only $99 per account, is that really a huge barrier to rootkit developers?
I've read a few articles recently about the UEFI Secure Boot feature, and how Microsoft will be requiring it to be enabled by default on all Windows 8 certified x86 systems. In theory, it sounds like a good idea - the system will check the boot loader for integrity before every boot. However, i...
Fair enough. In the States we have that whole "community standards" thing to determine whether or not something is obscene. The notion being that my neighborhood's standards may be different than yours.
@ScottPack yes, I'm familiar with the concept. I was taking advantage of the ambiguousness of your sentence, which could be interpreted as "... requirement to be obscene"
@RoryMcCune we had that for a long time - next neighborhood over had blazing fast speeds, we were creeping along. Then they decided to upgrade the whole country at once...
@RoryMcCune yes, but how consistent is that? particularly the cable.
@AviD The cable is pretty good, we have two of us working from home most days and we've only had a complete drop-out once. Evenings can slow down a bit but not too bad...
hoping to get an upgrade soon as apparently they can do 100Mb on the cable, but it's doesn't seem completely stable..
yeah it would be pretty nice although T.B.H the 10Mb is fine most of the time. I'd actually like better upstream a lot more, would make cloud backups a viable option..
Does anyone else feel like SE should have a global policy explicitly against (and, perhaps particularly for deletion of) answers that contain or begin with phrases like "x is completely stupid"?
@AviD yeah but when I try to upload 30 GB at 750Kb/sec it takes days... and I have all the files in truecrypt volumes so every time I upload it has to do it all again (downsides of being a paranoid security type)
how does google maps determine my location?
I found an article about this:
http://friendlybit.com/js/geolocation-and-google-maps/
according to this article, google only uses my ip address if I am using a desktop.
what I don't understand is, I am using VPN to go online. online ip checker told me...
I think that it doesn't worth it's question at meta. There is webserver. However, web server is used more often so probably tag should be called web-server and webserver should be a synonym.
