I just watched CNN & they interviewed the head of FEMA. He's claiming that they're ready this time around. I'd like to believe him but after the fiasco that happened last time, I can't say I have a lot of faith in FEMA. I hope I'm wrong.

it looks like we (florida) may get spared this time. but considering what this storm did earlier where it hooked south then turned northwest...well, it can easily pick up steam and turn east right at us. once it hits the warm gulf waters anything can happen. we will be watching this closely.

- Bwana ☠
Bwana - excellent - watching it now - may update my blog post - As you and Chris Baskind have been echoing here. Mandatory evacuations of New Orleans begin tomorrow morning. Airport will be open until 6 but you need a plan to get there because shuttles have already stopped running (except for one). Gustav nearly 'the perfect storm' approaching Cuba. Latest 'official take' has it 5 MPH short of Cat 5. Regardless of the final path (which is still uncertain), there's some history about to be made here.

Real-Time Concurrent Issues Drive Ada versus Java Choice - http://www.cotsjournalonline.com/home...
"Choosing a programming language for a military system project is a major decision, affecting all phases of software development."
- imabonehead
from Bookmarklet
"For several reasons the language’s role is especially critical in embedded real-time systems. First, the application must deal with multiple concurrent activities—monitoring sensors, handling asynchronous user input and so on—but programming with concurrency is intrinsically more difficult than single-threaded (sequential) processing. Second, correctness depends not only on computing the “right answers,” but doing so within time constraints that may have little or no tolerance for missed deadlines."

In the next chapter, you will find more detailed detailed explanations of how to develop Linux code to access these peripherals from an embedded PC-compatible SBC or desktop PC."

The LDS/Facebook Rumor Didn't Pass the Common Sense Test - http://www.louisgray.com/live...

Interesting to look at the quote that apparently started the thing: "I heard from an employee close to the deal that the Mormon church’s genealogy business made an unsolicited bid to acquire Facebook." http://secretenemyhideout.com/post... Too many vagaries in the sentence, not only regarding the source, but in the reference to "the Mormon church's genealogy business." One could be a little more specific on the actual entity doing the bidding.

wow...yeah I'm also used to this kind of crap, but this one's just stupid. For one thing, at least locally, I've heard Church leaders cautioning youth not to mess with MySpace because of the risk of predators and questionable content so I can't see them suddenly deciding that Facebook is a good idea (despite the fact that I'm connected to several members via Facebook so we're obviously using it :) ). Oh well, I'll go complain to my many wives now LOL.

- LiquidLag
Lots of rumors don't pass the smell test, but that doesn't stop the more stupid among us from repeating them. Think of all the stupid crap we've heard--are still hearing--regarding Sen. Obama from members of Congress and the media. I can think back to all the LDS rumors from when I was a kid. They were dumb, but nowhere near as harmful and ignorant as the rumors that we Muslims had and have to deal with day from the willfully stupid.
- Admiral Anika
I guess you've read Steven Hodson's follow-up post, in which he took the "nonsense" comment personally. In his defense, it should be noted that Hodson did at least cite his sources. And if one takes the tack that the Facebook-LDS story should not have been posted without confirmation, does that also mean that the Inquistr and other outlets should have held off on the Bigfoot story? (I'll grant one difference. The LDS Church has listed contact information. Last I checked, Bigfoot did not.)

Ontario, I have a long record of appreciating Steven's posts. We've been peers and friends for about two years now. That he and I rankle each other now and again is absolutely fine. I think the story was nonsense, but I think he and others who wrote on it are good folks. :-)
- Louis Gray
@Ontario, and if you contacted them, what would you expect them to say? The answer is the same whether it's true or not, 'cause you don't talk about deals before they're done.
- Jason Carreira
Jason, the allegedly acquiring entity could issue a strong denial (we will not acquire Company X), which would close the issue. Or they could say "no comment" or "we have not made a formal offer," which means nothing one way or the other.
- Ontario Emperor
from fftogo
Ontario, any idea how many times companies deny something is taking place when it really was taking place? The corporate pull quote is something you stick in there to show that you were open to hearing from them, but generally, it's not truthiness.
