At the beginning of the computers driven craziness it was all easy - you could create your judgment basing only on one number. Speed of the CPU was the most important number in the computers, everybody were talking about kilo, mega and giga hertz. In times, where memory was working at the same speed as CPU, and each tick of processor was one operation made it was easy to say: this computer can perform millions of operations per second - and in those times it was true. Then everything got complicated, memory has stepped down and is always slower than the heart, some instructions required more ticks than other, but, still - hertz was a king. It was so important, that AMD was describing it's own processor with fake speeds, to corelate them with their main competitor - people were thinking that high frequency was the same as speed. Even at this point, you were able to judge which computer is powerful, basing only on this one number - they were designed to perform numerical...

Enough. After many years of collaboration with Picasa desktop application I have lost my patience completely. I must be very careful, watch my every step, otherwise I will loose everything. My photos, my life and even my phone contacts. Do you wonder why some cold piece of bits reminds me schizophrenic girlfriend? Here is my favorite symptoms list: "Oh, look at that sand. I see face there." "It is not a face, it is a hole in sand." "Noooo, it's a face, look!" - She see faces everywhere. Fences, sand, snow. Plush toys. It is getting worse and worse. On the other hand, she seems to not see some faces. "Look, it's my face." "Noooo way, it does not look like face!" "Look again!" "Nope."  She can freeze in their own minds for minutes. "Hello, are you there. Can you hear me?" ... "What did you say? I wasn't listening!" It is happening to me all the time.  Multiple personality disorder....

I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further. - Darth Vader I bet that you have heard, that Polish student developers (which by some blogs have been changed into just 'polish developers') are third largest active group in Windows Marketplace counting by number of applications. If you wonder, how it could be, let me introduce you how such numbers are created. There is .Net developers portal (called CodeGuru ), which is filled with marketing, but along with that, there are developer articles, tutorials and all this stuff, which beginners found useful. This portal is active in academic environment, create conferences, pushes students to it's own platform. Raising developers from students. Some day, they found that it will be a good idea, to make contest. It was called: get a windows phone in geek club . What is a geek club? This is developer activity promotion, where you get paid in points for various platform related actions, blog posts, applications, com...

Background So, you have read very nice article about writing new WMI drivers for kernel , you have downloaded and read how to start manual , you have even read very interesting kernel WMI reference on Ubuntu site. And you are so buzzed with good feelings about this all that you push some commands to dump WMI information from DSDT. Then in completely unexpected way you have to face with...

Prawie pamiętam dzień w którym zaczęło się to szaleństwo. Po koncercie Lata z Radiem w Jarosławiu (w czasach, gdy zdarzało się im jeszcze grywać w "Polsce B") gdy przechadzałem się przez pobojowisko pod sceną zauważyłem zdeptany parasol. Żal mi się go zrobiło, więc odłamaną rączkę zabrałem ze sobą, od tamtego czasu, podczas deszczowych i wietrznych dni wypatruję w koszach na śmieci porzuconych przez właścicieli parasoli. Zabieram ze sobą jedyną nadającą się jeszcze do użycia rzecz - rączkę, wzbogacając tym samym moją kolekcję.

Współczynnik ten definiuję się jako ilość osób, członków zespołu, którzy muszą wpaść po autobus, by projekt zakończył się porażką. Ten współczynnik powinien być dużo większy od jedności, w sytuacji gdy jest równy jeden należy dokoptować kogoś jeszcze do zespołu. Takie wynalazki jak dzielona wiedza w wiki mają minimalny wpływ na powyższy współczynnik i zazwyczaj są pomijane w badaniu.
