No I work in pharma so I typo'd GPL as GLP. :-)

This page contains an old copy of people discussing the GLP issues: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fghostarchive.org%2Farchi...

What about http://www.youtube.com/subscription_manager?feature=feed?

Even though your name does look quite suspicious, I'll try to explain anyway.

The parent is showing how fuzzing works:
Using random 'data' to test the various functions of software, so we can find out if a certain piece of input triggers undesirable behavior.

In this case you could say that he's not only giving an example, but is testing the slashdot user comments code as well.

But it's perhaps more an attempt at humor. :-)

Things like controls for the air conditioning, but more importantly: Electronic stability control

These things are really saving lives by not slamming into trees when your car would suddenly start spinning on a slippery surface, as it would when you did not have ESC installed.

(Anti-lock braking is an older technology, which also needs computing power, but this thing is actually needed to achieve ESC. My car only has this ABS, since it's a fairly cheap model)

I wouldn't be suprised if there are more very usefull things in a modern car that need that kind of computing power.

This video explains quite clearly how these leaks and the reactions on it should be placed in their correct context:

What's so difficult to understand about the fact that new products don't last as much as they used to? Back in the days the production and design processes were not as advanced as today, so a lot of margin of error was needed to produce equipment that worked the way it needed.

Today, there are a lot of different price categories for a lot of goods. So to give the people what they really want (cheap stuff), the components that are used in today's products are mostly the cheap ones that are produced without big margins of error for reliability purposes. This obviously means that they won't last forever, but boy are they cheap! Why should someone buy a very expensive TV that's garanteed to work for 50 years when in 15 years time there would be new models with a lot of new functionality anyway?

Sometimes I don't understand why some people are saying that that old equipment was so much better because it lasted forever, but I think the explanation to that is so simple.

Part of the problem is that she did not understand it's possible to configure internet access without that Verizon cdrom, and she could easily work with OpenOffice instead of Word. Verizon even offered to send a technician to help with the connection, and the school said it has no problems with people using different software when following their couses.

Too bad the woman did not look for answers but simply blamed Dell instead out of ignorance. :(

You could start with making a Qt version of The GIMP.

A lot of people don't know this, but GTK stands for 'The GIMP Toolkit', and Gnome used this toolkit. Not the other way around! :-)
