Get, don't give Brightmail's anti-spam strategy is sweet and simple. The company sets up dummy mailboxes, which it calls "probes," for those ISPs whose customers it protects. Most ISPs are eager to give Brightmail the "probe" mailboxes because they want any spam sent to them to be profiled by Brightmail.
Since these mailboxes never send mail, any e-mail they receive is unsolicited. With probes scattered across the Internet, the company can cross-reference the e-mail it collects to determine which messages being sent out are bulk spam.
The probes divide spam messages into identifiable components, and develops a "spam DNA" profiled that is categorized with the aid of Sieve technology (Sieve is also known as IETF RFC 3028). It is then transmitted across the Internet to Brightmail's Network Operation Center (NOC) using an MD5 hash. At the NOC, the various reports are aggregated into a data file that acts like an anti-virus "fingerprint," which is distributed to Brightmail clients. Because of the volume of spam over the Internet, these updates are sent out every five or ten minutes.
We conduct our reprsentative government in a democratic manner. Defense contractors lobbying for more tax payer money to Israel in order to beef up their sales, Monsanto lobbying to stop labeling products organic and Microsoft killing any open-source bill are not in the spirit of democracy where we each have equal say through our representatives.
Except Microsoft has more of an influence than you and I. They are subverting demoracy, just like defense contractors who lobby for $3billion/year to Israel which will be used to buy their products.. They're no worse than Monsanto which pushes for not labeling products as organic.
Millions invested in order to have more say than other citizens is not democratic at all.
Well, the anti ballistic missiles aren't effective against decoys. So if China sends over 500 missiles and only 2-3 of them have the actual warhead then we've just wasted billions of dollars.
Sure the missiles are not effective but it's fun when the big ones go off. The town thunders and your chest vibrates. We grab a beer and chill with the neighbors and take in the spectable. They inform you of the launch only that day so if you can catch it it's fun for the family. Too many times I've slept through them, which is a pity. They're beautiful.
Wages in IT have remained flat in the US/gone down whereas for execs it has gained at least 20% just in the last year and that is average for the last few years.
That is what outsourcing gives us. So get to the top while you still can, you're either at the top outsourcing or you are outsourced.
Bullies back then didn't mess around, your phone might be disconnected or forwarded to someone else. Or someone from a group like MOD or LOD might call you late at night and list your personal information, credit card information, your neighbors, etc.
while they develop new inventory ala gmail to boost ad sense / ad words revenue. Their fault tolerant file system and proprietary storage will allow them to do these things better than anyone else.
They will also expand into graphic ads as they are much more effective than text ads.
Maybe it's just me but there seems to be a lot of articles about technology helping poor people in India yet most slashdotters could probably care less.
I've seen dedicated oracle machines make use of raw / direct I/O but of course these were huge >=8 way systems supporting ATT, Sprint, MCI etc. Most DB requirements aren't so demanding.
Yeah, even with wap 2.0 it's done like this, it's really not too secure but end to end SSL is really just too hard to implement. WAP 2.0 is just the old WAP but you can now send over XHTML text vs before when you sent over compiled WML binary.
I believe it is a subset of XHTML that it uses in reality and I believe XHTML takes care of desktop browser vs wireless browser differences, I could be wrong as I haven't used XHTML yet.
Gee why didn't the designers of WAP think of that. You're good.
Oh wait a minute. They did think of that. And they realized that WML, which is easier to parse and supporrts soft keys, decks, etc, is better suited for small phones which often lack a large screen as well as sufficient CPU to parse HTML.. ie you can have tags without in HTML vs XML or WML which don't allow that, you must have a closing tag. HTML implementation is really one big hack, any decent HTML parser is nasty.
Fortunately they waited for XHTML which has more strict tag guidelines (Sorry no without ) and is really a wonderful standard which meets the desktop browser and phone browser requirements.
it's because it was doing secure HTTPS connections from the gateway to the outside internet. So it's encrypted from the phone to say att's gateway, decrypted, then encrypted into SSL and sent to the outside internet. So you must trust att as well as the makers of the gateway.
It used to be only WML (Well WMLC, compiled WML) that was sent over WAP, now it's XHTML. This is a convergence between desktop markup and wireless markup. In anycase they were right in that WML was dead. Unfortunately for them you can put anything over WAP even MMS traffic.
I have laughed and laughed as people claimed that WAP was dead meanwhile I log into gateway servers and see WAP traffic increase.

Democracy is becoming more of a joke every day.
Given that CMU CS is a unix-only operation. Wouldn't it be ironic if the money was used on mostly unix not windows machines?
This is dealing with the devil. Money shouldn't always talk.
Although that is quite a bit pricewise, the volume of SQL Server sales is significantly lower than the volume of Office sales.
They want to leave any dirty trick open just in case.
anyone know?

online ads are the future.
EDY','heh heh, silly terror-loving anti-USA democrats!');
Indeed nice catch.

Just an FYI.

oracle supports multimaster
uses direct / raw i/o
You still must give CPU affinity explicitely but yes it's numa aware.

WAP = Wireless Application Protocol
;)

Maybe people will listen to me now? nah.
Actions(money-generating events) happen and are monitored.
Or networks like CJ only generate revenue upon an action (ie sale).
