Currently, in the medical world, there are biotech firms that are discovering gene sequences that would help determine a predisposition to various diseases. What is sad is that many of these firms are allowed to "patent the genes" I may be wrong, it may be the processes that they use to discover the pertinent gene sequences that they are allowed to patent. But in any case, this is horrifying. http://www.msnbc.com/news/302971.asp
as far as research goes the military is about equal with the public communities, maybe just a little ahead. Where the pentagon falls behind is in the implementation process, and all of thier beurocratic bs.
What people are missing..."we already have ipchains, etc"...is this is another commercially supported product, sure IT people will say "we can support that" but the CFO is going to say "who's gonna offer you support?"
I remember being told by my father-in-law (who is an IBMer) that the reason that IBM didn't make a bid for this is that they didn't feel that they could make enough money on the project to justify it. I was just doing some Big Brother....uhhh....Blue bashing.
And actually the saying _does_ go "No one ever got fired for buying IBM.
but _that's_ an idea...have it centre around a character that is similar to the traveler, or similar to Q or the like....have only one reoccuring character that goes around and get's involved in others lives
I always had a craving to see a series set in the same universe but with more "rough and tumble" type characters, people that don't have the prime directive to follow, maybe pirates or mercenaries. another idea that has popped into my head at least once is to _not_ feature regular characters maybe reoccuring characters that show up every once in a while with many different yet intertwined stories to tell... my major complaint with Trek so far is that they portray the main characters as being to "shiny" and good...we need some characters that are dark and mysterious. (here's where I start a war sort of like the star trek vs. star wars, trek vs. B5 threads in the newsgroups) Babylon 5 had plenty of characters that were shady, granted that may not have been Gene's vision, but people were, seemed to me atleast, alway portrayed as either good or bad...no gray areas, people will never be like that. and there also needs to be more personality development done to the characters, by the end of DS9 Worf was a very colourful character, but in the begining he was very one dimensional.
you could name your machines after various governments, your unix boxes could be named democracies, novell boxes get something like monarchies, etc.....
just think you could name your NT boxes after Italian governments (unstable and you never run out of names)
is that all of Micro$oft's problems started when someone passed around an internal memo starting an obfuscated code contest with the stipulation that you had to use production code, unfortunately they didn't mention the date when this contest would end
NC's in the enterprise is rough...I worked for a company that had deployed 500-600 NC's, and initially we tried with AIX w/ CDE and winNT, the users were much more problematic with AIX (is this because they have been brainwashed?) but the NC's were much more problematic with NT...they've still got some maturing to do before the corporate market is targeted with them.

Being an American I should say that he better be afraid of us...we'll kick his ass.

Secure remote is still much easier that M$ PPTP, and for the most part transparent to the end user.

that they're now opening their top of the line hardware drivers too.
What are the IBM boys going to say? No big deal for them and another gigantic, overpriced SP
yeah...now that you mention it...
"assimilate...assimilate"
but _that's_ an idea...have it centre around a character that is similar to the traveler, or similar to Q or the like....have only one reoccuring character that goes around and get's involved in others lives

all of my favorite episodes were the ones with Q

The good thing about Larry is.....ummmm...well....he, uh.....wait one minute.....ok....I've got *one thing*, Larry hates Bill.
It has something to do with Larry's ego.
