Off-topic / Women in the Workplace/Life
« on March 11th, 2013, 07:51 PM »
Maybe get on a few nerves here, but this is my opinion.
I don't mind women in the workplace, but there are certain things that bother me.
One situation I can think of happen recently, well it happens quite often, but I will speak of a certain instance. One day there was a box that needed to be put up. Not really a heavy box maybe around 5 to 10lbs. Will a young lady asked me to pick it up because in her old words "I am too much of a girly girl.". I am thinking to myself then why are you even working here and why should I be making the same amount as her when I have to exert more energy on the job. Like I said this wouldn't bother me too much but it is a constant thing. You know if she asked once in a long while to pick up something that is actually heavy.
Don't get me wrong there are plenty of women that pull their weight around but ones like the one who should be nameless above really @#$% me off.
Another thing not so bad though but the door thing. You know how it is polite to hold open a door for a lady. This don't bother me but don't take advantage of it ladies. When I am about to enter a convince store, hold the door open for my wife and child and here comes a line who also wants the door open, well true story. I actually held the door open for so long that my wife was already waiting for me at the checkout.
Enough rant, but it does get on my nerves and figured I would vent it here.

I have been in incognito for too long I guess. I guess it comes with age, I have the attention span of a 3 year old.
I was interested but SMF lost my interest again when it went the usual way and did the old school route with the latest version. I want to see something better for SMF, back to what I said, set in stone.

Hmm, still going on with this back and forth...
Change is needed, getting change is the problem. Values are already cut into stone and IMHO the only solution may be abandonment.
Maybe SM Core will fix this as the forum system alone is out dated. Yeah a few months or years will do that.
These new ideas aren't going to come from us, will maybe. However it is time to pass the torch but currently it doesn't look like there is anyone to catch it. Torch to the floor burn to the ground. Invite change, innovation and new ideas, don't scare the next generation of torch catchers.
This is my opinion, in order for SMF to succeed then it must forget the current ideology of what a forum should be.

You mean there is a situation, I tend to ignore these type of post because I know where it is going.
Wedge isn't open source so it can't be displayed in the Forks board, however allot of the other forks are still not open source as far as I know and only claim open source. In order to be consider open source the source has to be open and the other forks don't show any source material as far as I know and should be considered closed source until they reveal their sources.
As far as progress between SMF and Wedge goes, I don't see the point of the arguments. Wedge is currently one developer as far as I know and SMF is currently a open project which in turn can mean many developers. Doesn't mean that it means many developers, but you never know, one day that special commit may come through and change everything. I have been doing allot of Android OS work lately and collaboration makes a big difference.
IMHO both projects are in fair standing and SMF is better than what it was before and in time we will see how the open source license will either work in favor or against it. If it fails then it has sacrificed its source, its seed and we will eventually see its offspring flourish or die.

However Apple does plenty right, you have to be doing something right for the fanboys to follow. To all their own opinion though, maybe I skimmed over the article but I don't think I am wrong with the things I pointed out with two key points taken out(across product line and only laptop/desktop OSes). Maybe if I had the time to read the full article things would've been in context more but I just don't have the time to read something that isn't really going to have any significant value or gain.
Some may read for enjoyment but I read to expand my knowledge about things that are going to be useful to me.
It might be bold move by Apple but I rather have the choice of what I want in the computer.

I don't know about across their whole product line. I am sure if I did a search I may find a few, if we are doing across the line. Maybe find a few china companies or such. Searching...
Posiflex - It is a PC, a POS but still a PC
FOX ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY - Makes drive less mini PC's only with a few other devices such as cams, tvs, etc.
Will found two, one may not count, second one does and it is across their line and a small time manufacturer too.
Also I am not sure but maybe US English is different in how we structure and express our sentences that my point may be coming up differently to your interpretation. That is a theory though, because you're still twisting my words.

We're talking about 17" laptops and 27" all-in-one desktops, not mobile devices! Big boxes that have no normal reason to drop optical media.

Yeah but the article is about Apple being the first to get rid of the optical drive. The author is basically saying they are pioneering but they are not. Yes it is another Apple fanboy site which explains everything, but spinning less media PC's have been around for already quite some time even before Android was conceived. Most were and still being used though as small POS units in retail shops. I was planning to buy one a few years back to make a media PC out of it for the TV at home, never got around to it though. There is no spinning disk at all on these devices, all solid state, a few ports and that is it.
*edit, more to add
I guess it is how you look at Apple. Most people think of Apple as of Apple vs Microsoft but that isn't the case to me. When I hear Apple I consider Apple as mainly hardware and Apple a little as the software. Microsoft only makes software so Microsoft vs Apple doesn't make any sense. So what does make sense to me Apple vs the entire PC world.
In the past Apple used to bash the entire PC market and that is who they are up against. They got allot to compete against and this is where the fanboys are blind. To the fanboys there is only PC, which PC is not one line and never the same internals.
Does this mean I am a fan of Microsoft, no, I hope Microsoft dies they are or maybe more crooked than Apple. They both want control over the market and over the users.
What I am a fan of is openness, so mainly I a rooting for the open source OSes.

Is that only optical, how about spinning hard disk, are they using solid state?
To me it looks like the article is biased and one sided to Apple. Anybody running a Android with a optical drive? Android compact devices that run on full screen with keyboards and mice have been out for a while already and cost allot less than that junk Apple is forcing down to its fanboys. Apple always makes itself out to look like a innovator but they are just not. All they want to do is sell you overpriced junk and tell you how to use it.

Off-topic / Re: Meaning of usernames
« on October 13th, 2012, 06:56 AM »
Mine comes from a acronym and inspired by code. Near END of the code, you know end, end if... I am basically a code drifter, I drift to language to language, whatever is suitable. Haven't been active in PHP lately, was coding allot in Java for a few projects in Android and now I got, well lets say it is a project. Maybe not the best productive one, but game addictions are game addictions. You may see me active again one day, lol. :whistle:
I had a few others though, most of them as a noob and, even at YABB, but I will take those usernames to the grave. :P

Take one IP address, a couple of time stamps, md5 the lot. Now please tell me how you extract the IP address from this.

Can't you just check the IP address and see if it matches the one in the session. I know of some problems that this may cause when a lease is renewed with the ISP but maybe you can ignore the session information and create a new one like if they didn't have a session to begin with.

I wonder how this would work on a grid/cloud setup. :hmm:
At minimum I usually have four to six servers handling request. I also wonder how these sessions work in this setup. Is there some sort of syncing going on between them that they somehow look like one system.
No matter, it looks like session ids are predictable. What does this actually mean being able to guess a session? The only thing I can think of is maybe the ability to SPAM a little easier and the ability to guess another networks session. Even if you get another networks session, IP addresses are unreliable and the total security package doesn't use sessions alone, if it did that then it would be open to attacks to an identical IP on the same network. Thinking about hijacking sessions even if your able to spoof another networks IP address the server isn't going to send you anything back and plus you don't have a cookie.
Sorry I am having trouble figuring out what this actually means.
