Orwell also predicted that people would be so indoctrinated by IngSoc and its propaganda and changes in the language that they'd no longer understand the difference between truth and lies, and would believe anything IngSoc told them.
Brian's insistence that socialism is right and conservatism is wrong in all things is proof positive of the fact that that state has now been reached... Because while not yet in total control of the US government, far left ideologues are fully in control of the US educational system and press, leaving them free to install their ideas in the minds of people.
The idea that only white people (and specifically white men) can be guilty of hate crimes (in fact the very fact that they're white men means they're guilty) is another indication of this. Of course the very definition of "hate crime" is frighteningly close to Orwell's description of thought crime, where the fact that you have ideas that IngSoc doesn't agree with means you're a criminal.
and most laptops have their CPUs soldered in place rather than using pop-in sockets in order to save space. While you can desolder electronic components and solder in replacements that's extremely tricky when dealing with even simple SMD components like resistors, CPUs have so many contacts so close together it's almost impossible to do without the specialised dies and other equipment of the manufacturer service centers.
The best use for old laptops is as a small server. Buy a new laptop and stuff the old one under your bed or couch with maybe some external harddisks attached, running Linux or Solaris, and use them as a file server, mailserver, and/or other server.
that's what they all say... Anyway, what you want is NOT going to work, you're NOT going to start a program on another computer without that computer knowing it. In fact you're NOT going to start a program remotely at all without shell access to it.
there are many ways, all of them requiring some action from the remote machine. We're NOT going to tell you how you can sneak software onto other computers without their consent.
I would say liberals are against more control over its people by giving them more social freedoms, unlike conservatives (ie. gay rights, abortions choices, and other social issues)
You're quite mistaken. To see what "liberals" want, look no further than China under Mao, the USSR under Stalin, or Cambodia under Pol Pot. That's the TRUE face of the "liberal", which they are quite good at hiding around election time.
No, liberals are against hidden street cameras, spying on our conversations, confiscating our laptops, and spying on us through social networks.
Only if they themselves aren't doing it... In the UK for example, where they're all powerful, they're doing all of that in abundance (and more) and are still not content with the amount of control they have over peoples' lifes.
It may finally do something about the increasing dominance of Google over all aspects of the internet...
At the moment neither Microsoft nor Yahoo has the power to challenge Google when it comes to online services (except possibly email), this deal should level the playing field in at least some areas.
seems the kid is oblivious about the difference between Java and Javascript and/or the difference between serverside and clientside code as well as expecting other to do its homework for it.
we're not going to help you create spyware. If you are legitimate you already have access to the data and all you need to do is find a way to parse the firewall logs. If you're not legitimate what you're trying to do is a criminal offense.
correct. And even if it weren't, it is NOT impossible (or even automatically "not done") to create "enterprise applications" using weakly typed languages.
You can't get information on one machine about things running on another, period. You need at the very least a process on that remote machine that collects the data and hands it to you when requested.
and it's not much of a community either. It's more like a gathering of anarchists, where everyone has his or her own brilliant idea and won't listen to anyone who opposes it because they know in their hearts that they're righteous and everyone else is wrong who dares disagree with them.
I think the concept of "in plain sight" that police (in the USA anyway) have to abide by should/must be applied to border/airline screening as well. Val
OK. So if a terrorist walks through security with a 9mm pistol in a shoulder holster but not wearing a coat it's in plain sight and the thing is confiscated (and he is arrested). If he has it in his bag (which under your rules can't be X-rayed because that's designed to make things that are not in plain sight visible...) he can take it with him on the aircraft and shoot up the cabin.
Unintended consequences of your proposed policy maybe, but quite serious...
No. Most companies don't go out to hire "Linux programmers", they want C++ (or C, or Ada, or Fortran) programmers who are familiar with Linux.
And most of the software they create is for internal use only so it never appears in (for example) Linux Magazine (which is why you've not heard about it).
Head First Design Patterns Head First Software Development (more about the business processes involved in a software project) Head First Object Oriented Analysis and Design
all published by O'Reilly. There are tons more books out there, but these are fun to read as well as informative and instructive ;) Sun also has a good course on OO design and engineering, course number OO-226. 5 days instructor led training, well worth the pricetag (a good instructor can teach you a LOT in a few days).
And some advise when you're trying to divide up the system into "layers": don't overdo it. Don't go "pattern crazy" and start applying patterns everywhere. It makes the design unwieldy, the resulting application sluggish, unresponsive, overly complex, and hard to maintain.
It shouldn't matter, programming languages are tools and you should be expected to be fluent in many of them (and be able to pick up others quickly) as a CS person.
If you've never worked with Java before you should learn the language first and start with small, simple, things rather than immediately diving into the deep end of the pool like this.
Start with the basic tutorials from Sun, get yourself a good book like Head First Java, work through that, learn the technologies you want to "monitor" inside and out, and only after you've done all that (should take you a few years) you start thinking again about that monitoring program.
Get VERY familiar with the OS. No company is going to hire you to program it unless you can use it blindly... It would be like hiring someone as a welder who likes welding machines but doesn't know how they work...
Unless software is specifically written to take advantage of multicore processors it won't do so to any great degree. So for most games today the only advantage you'll see is that Windows background processes will get shifted to one core and the game to another. That may or may not make a huge difference depending on how you use the machin (what's running on it) and how CPU hungry the game is.
Few games (but getting more) are optimised for multicore systems at this stage, and most that are don't make optimal use of more than 2 cores.
Macs are overpriced... They look nice from a distance but up close you see the cheap plastic, the poor workmanship, etc. The same spec hardware (and in many cases the same exact hardware) in a standard case running FreeBSD (on which MacOSX is based) costs you maybe a quarter of what Apple charges for it...
hmm, for the kids I hope they've gotten over it. But as they may well have failed that assignment (they weren't given "zuh koduz" after all) it's quite likely they're still struggling with it (if they've not given up and gone on to less demanding jobs).
possibly, using Java's ability to host scripting languages. It would of course require a lot of work to make a VBScript engine that conforms to the required APIs.
But you're most likely looking for something else, something that can NOT be done, which is calling serverside Java code from VBScript code on an html page.
You say you're doing it for a company. That makes you a professional. That makes it so that you have to take responsibility for your work, if you can't do it you have to tell your boss so he can cut his losses and get someone who CAN do it.
and? We're not here to handhold you and tell you what to do at every stage. We're also not here to do it all for you, or to guess what you're having trouble with.
