How dare the country with the worlds highest population, effect all our statistics and charts. Sorry China has no where to go but up. A giant population who has been repressed is not experience a free(ish) market. Will cause some changes.
This isn't a bad thing, if you learn to use it to your advantage.
Rumbling for years... Yes but before they usually state it a a major Memory Manufacure used by HP SUN.... I am sorry some people don't always keep up with slashdot and some stories just don't stick out.
My toughs exactly You have shiny IE and Lynx (that you need to run at the DOS prompt (Perhaps via PowerShell!)
It will just work in Microsoft interests to make them seem superior and the other inferior. Much like how I remember talking to a guy back in the late 90's saying how I liked Word Perfect over word. Then he went, Word Perfect that all text based and doesn't support fonts. I looked at him kinda oddly and stated you know they updated the product scene the 1980's it has all the GUI and Features that word does and it has been like that for years.
So I could see Firefox installed with Javascript turned off and no flash (I know, I know Some of you will say that is a good thing) But when they browse the web with it half the pages don't work well. So they stick with IE as it seems to render their pages and things seem to work.
Is it so hard to at least explain some of the details in the summary. Sorry Rambus isn't a well know brand name like IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Sun, HP... By reading the summary I had no Idea what the suit was about.
The only think keeping the AP members from receiving "Very Expensive Ad Revenues" is the fact that the market won't allow it because no one is willing to pay it. Yea thats my point? We are still affected by basic economics. If they can't make money threw adds then they will need to find an other way to make money. Do you expect people to work for free. Do you work for free, or some how get free room and board, and anything else you want for nothing. If so there is life outside your parents basement.
Did you read the original article? This decision to charge users has nothing to do with plagiarism.
And I'm not entirely sure why the so called plagiarism of facts is a bad thing. You seem to think that the AP somehow owns a factual story. It does not. Did you go to college and high school? Did you learn stuff? Do you repeat those facts in your day to day live and use them to better yourself? Exactly how is that a bad thing?
Plagiarism and digital copy is a big key on its economics and part of your question on why NBC, CBS and ABC can give you the content for free. Text material can be easily copied and spread across a wide range of blogs so while 500,000 people may read the AP 6 Million may read the same content on those blogs and get exposed to the add revenue of the blog owners not the AP, even if sited AP they are missing out on add revenue if they could have gotten. And the bloggers who took their work are making money off the AP dime, as they paid the reporters to do the work and all the middle stuff to get it prepared and published. So it is effecting their bottom line and guess what if they are not making money that way they need to find a new way to do so.
Only because the market does not allow it. THAT IS THE FREAKING REASON WHY THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING! There current model doesn't work so they need a new one. DUH.
And it supposed to be so by design, It makes sure that we jump back and forth and fly on every whim that everyone has.
That said the downside it is creates a Failure based culture where it is not what you do right that promotes you but what you do wrong that will get you fired, or prevented from promotion. So for many initiatives no one is willing to put there neck out and push the project. So the DNSSEC is on a list of things to do thats fine, you make sure you have other things on your list and wait until your boss tell you it is a priority... Your Boss will do the same thing until his boss does so etc... So when the s***t hits the fan everyone will point to the next level up and say it is not my fault. Until it hits the top then the top points at either a Contractor (who they don't fire because they know they didn't do anything wrong they just needed someone to blame) or an Aid which they do fire to show that he is a responsible leader. To compound the problem most government workers are Unionized and Unions do not like pay based of performance so the people who want to do a good job and do the right thing have no incentive to do so. Unless they are stupid enough to want to run for public office.
Wow and I thought Windows Managers such as Gnome, KDE, LXDE and IceWM just managed windows and offered a common UI library for applications. If you are going to hook your cellphone up to a thinclient with a fulls screen and keyboard. For most real cases you are better of with a Desktop OS and you can do the same thing.
Who pays for the news broadcasts on NBC, ABC, and CBS?! Who pays the anchors, the journalists, and the cameramen? Who pays for your local news broadcasts?
Very Expensive Add Revenue. And by the time people have plagiarized their work they have already done the adds.
I am sorry if the Bush administration Deleted those emails like I suspected they did. And with a bunch of defrags and/or writing over the data. The data is gone... Sorry Bitching and Moaning and spending money on already rich lawyers wont do anything special. While people got energized with the "YES WE CAN" Speech my impression that President Obama is more a pragmatist and wont change everything overnight until there is better understanding about the factors going on. Unlike the Ultra Liberals thing not everything the Bush Administration was wrong. So right now the new president will need to filter threw all the decisions and rules and see if they were right or wrong.
The Speed and resolution of a Portable Device, combined with the large size of a Desktop PC. Yea you get geek cred points but for the most part it is kinda useless, for most real uses.
That may be the case. But if you get laid off. Most sane people will not come back, they will move on. Get a job at a different place, or a different industry all together. Still having Microsoft on your Resume will go far.
But if they are going to sit around waiting for MS to rehire them back then they deserve to pay Microsoft back, the money.
You are blaming the wrong area... Whether it's noisy and annoying ads We had adds before flash. Heck they were even more annoying, Much larger animated GIFs, that did harsh blinks, Embedded MIDI playing Phisher Price keyboard music.
embedded-but-not-linked video So what are the alternatives Huge Inefficient MPEG files, QuickTime that only works on Macs and PC. Windows Media that only works on Windows. Going nuts trying to keep up with Codexes for other formats. No Thank you.
site navigation without a plain HTML version If it wasn't flash then it would be Java Applets or worse Active X. These "Web Developers" who make such content are actually application developers who don't want to learn to do thing the right way. What else they my just give you link to a.EXE file to run.
or malware-pushing securityless redirects, yea like there isn't a couple of dozen ways to that without flash.
I am sorry that the Web Isn't the Ultra Optimized Super Thin Client, It is a medium fat client, luckily Adobe/Macromedia has been Linux friendly enough to have a compatible version. Without Adobe Flash Linux will have much less acceptance in the world, as even more website will not render well, and if you honestly believe with world will stand by without having other alternatives that are just as bad if not worse then you are probably telling people to get off your lawn.
A kid say 13-17 who wants to see such material will go yea I am over 18, and click the link. The more difficult you get won't stop any kid who wants to get in. For the most part if a kid wants to see internet porn they can no matter what blocks you put in.
They Realized it was a loss cause so they gave it to the Executive who lived in the highest crime area so it would get stolen as they realize that the insurance payback would be more then the phone itself.
This story says to me. "Hey Look I am a rich kid, who can afford expensive gear. And I have the time to optimize it. See how much better I am then the rest of you. "
It was slow for 1 process. But when you started to use all the processors that thing sped up. If well designed code you can drop it by 1 Big O segment O(n) can be done in O(1), O(n^n) can be done in O(n)
I myself know I could do this. But it will take some time to get it right. It is not the sort of thing that I do all the time. And time to see how the router handles and keeps logins is different across systems. If it is just Post/Get/Cookies for the login that is rather easy a script with wget will do the trick however if it is complex Ajax call then it will require more digging. It is a lot of work and I would rather just plug into a wire.
Well all you need to do is set up a SCHEDULE Services that will connect to your router via its web interface scrub the HTML for the logs every hour. Save it as a file on your PC then backup that data to a secure location. A piece of cake for any... [font size=largest]Red Blooded American[/font] [font size=large]With Wi-Fi[/font] [font size=medium]and a PC[/font] [font size=small]with at least a 2 year degree in computer science[/font] [font size=smaller]who chose to focus on programming[/font] [font size=evensmaller]with interests on web technology[/font] [font size=tiny]and TCP/IP communications[/font]
Yea having the parents in jailed/heavily fined because they didn't keep backup logs will really help the children grow up to be useful and productive systems. Because we all know if your parents are in jail and/or living in poverty helps kids grow up to be good citizens.
Most people don't know how to turn on WEP or WPA encryption on their wireless routers let along find how to turn on logging and setting a backup routine to keep years of data. Heck most people/governments/companies cant keep years of data on their own PC.
I wonder how many of these lawmakers are in compliance of this purposed law.
Well not quite as far but it will devalue the work of software developers and put money in the wrong hands.
Open Source at least the GNU variation of it, doesn't value the creators of the work, and assumes their time making such device is such a joy that a job well done is pay enough per say. Sure you can make money off of supporting your code consulting services etc... But the value as a developer is reduced (As there are people who just want to code, and eat, but not run small consulting businesses or deal with people saying I want X or Y etc...) By putting a Dollar Price tag on this I could see companies firing their full time developers and pay table scraps to many Open Source Developers (Which would make you wished they outsourced to India) to get their code done. Then pay the real bucks to full time people who will support and consult the product.
Without the money for Open Source most companies yea they will stay closed source but they will be paying software developers more to make the software. So that will be more money going in the Middle of the economy so it can Trickle Up and Down and a lot faster too.
But putting large funds for Open Source will mean companies who really don't care about software will get a lot of money pay some open source developers pocket change and state they are open source and keep the rest of the money for themselves.
Republicans they want to tax the rich less even at a loss of services.
Democrats want to tax the rich more for services that have so many rules and loopholes that only the rich are able to get resources to correctly apply for.
It reminds me a 5/6 years ago My state had a grant for "small" tech companies to funding for education for their employees so my boss tried to sign me up for.NET, CISCO, and/or Red Hat certification training. The first time it was rejected because they wanted more detail on each of the training, the second time it was rejected because they were Out of State classes (We live near the border of other states and you will actually travel a lot further to the In State classes. But every it gets rejected for some reason or an other we had to go back and redo everything as class schedules changed and pricing as well we had to find different classes all every time. We later gave it up as the process of getting funding for these classes cost more then just going for the class itself. And who got these grants the large consulting firms (as many large consulting firm is often technically a small business as they are usually under 100 employees) Who have the resources to do all the legwork over and over again as it would benefit hundred workers not 3.
Most of the brand loyalist were not students during that time but professionals and graphic artists who didn't want to loose all their programs. Also the people who hated Microsofts dominance at the time.
Also, running virtual desktops over the network is not necessarily slow and clunky. Have you tried it? I've been doing it for years.
I do it all the time. But still compared to a real one, they are still clunky. The fast enough to be not annoying and useful. But still it sometimes when you get those subtle animations It makes it that much nicer to work locally. Although it depends on the work you are doing. I wouldn't do anything graphic intensive over Virtual Desktops (Stuff that really encourages kids to learn) and leaves the boring office like apps left.
