This is what I really hate about the FCC and groups like the PTC. They should have no say is what I can or can't watch or listen to and what can or can't be shown/said on TV and radio.
The only duty they should have is to enforce the accurate and complete labeling of what a show contains (Adult Language, Nudity, Violence, R X, PG etc) and keep those ratings honest.
Let me decide what I want to see and hear, not some coucil with a stick up their ass who freaks everytime they hear the work ass or bitch on TV.
Parent your children. There are two knobs: volume and power. Use them. Don't force my favorite shows to a G level because you can't parent your children or use a remote control.
A prime example. After the Janet Jackson thing, the Bob and Tom radio show simply sucks. They can't play or say nearly any of the things they used to, so now I don't listen to them any more.
All because someone couldn't handle the site of a nipple on TV.
Actually, I don't think they deserve to be quoted since you insist on trolling under someone elses name. This will be the last feeding. Please drive through.
Yeah ok, I wrote two instead of one. Oh the humanity. Cope.
Re: printers.
Who said they had to be shared printers? Plenty of people probably have a printer in their cube, or even a printer shared between just a few people.
For that matter, what does privacy have to do with stealing company secrets? All it takes is some good planning/timing and it's done.
Re: pen and paper.
Who mentioned anything about a password? How about credit card numbers? Contact lists? Sure, you're not going to write down source code.
This whole thing is just like the RIAA piracy rant and CD copy protection. You can't plug the analog hole. All you end up doing is pissing of your employees.
I really don't understand the paranoia about stealing company secrets in relation to USB based devices.
If you have access to a printer, print it ant take it with you.
If you have access to pen and paper, write it down and take it with you.
If you have access to email, email somewhere else.
If someone wants to steal secrets, they're going to do so. Yes, I know, it's about minimization of risk just like there is no such thing as secure, but only minization of risk. But sometimes the paranoia can go to far and frustrate workers.
They picked a good title: Cluster, as in Cluster Fsck.
I've witnessed more problems with clustered MS systems than stand alone systems. Drive failovers that don't; SQL failovers that don't; IIS eating memory in clustered mode when in standalone, the same app does just fine, most problems of which require a reboot. And have you ever tried to update the SP or hotfixes on a cluster? What a nightmare.
Anyone who would allow Windows in there HPC environment should have their head examined.
What I'm saying is that.net development under windows without Microsoft tools, currently is not a lot of fun.
That's odd. I think it's perfectly acceptable.
I code all my.NET assemblies and most ASP.NET via text editor and command line compiler.
I save more time that way, vs. rooting through 500 buttons and 60 wizards that make a mockary of sensible code output (esp. in ASP.NET and it's crap HTML).
But that's just me. Doing it in a test editor and command line ensures that I LEARN what code I writing, instead of being a brainless VS IDE knob who doesn't know anything about the code it spits out (not that all VS IDE users don't know the code).
"One of the more interesting observations from this article is that this task force will remain active for the next year to push for their changes and improvements to be adopted."
Great. What that really means is that some government spud will get involved, force changes, then my bill will go up with a new line item for "recovery costs". Looks like electric will have something in common with broadband [DSL] after all.:-)
Don't anyone waste your money on AlienWare. They're just overpriced Sagers.
I've got a Sager 5660 and it's been rock solid compared to any of the name brands I've owned. And it spits out UT2003/2004 FPS like no tomorrow.
I snagged mine last year from PowerNotebooks.com and they been the best laptop vendor I've dealt with so far. One of the hightest ratings on ResellerRatings.com for Sager dealers.
Yes, I'm whoreing, but it's rare I'm pleased with hardware and the buyer experience.
The other nice thing about Sager, they usually allow tradeins or upgrades for the latest mobo/CPU for a reasonable amount of $.
Personally, if I'm forced into the situation where I can pay extra to have Comedy Central added back into my package, then I'll drop HBO/Blowtime to cover the difference.
I imagine if this doesn't work out, the premiumums like HBO/Showtime/Max, etc will also take a hit. At least when they show the same thing for the 50th time, it's at least funny on CC instead of ass boring on HBO.
If it's anything like their access points and routers, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. I think they have yet to actually complete any firmware for any of their products. I've got a WAP11 in which the only way to fix random reboots is to install a well hidden 1.1A firmware that will never see the light of day.
Many of their routers don't work without one problem or another, and their drivers are complete crap. Especially the WUSB products.

No arguments there. But what XForms ALSO brings to the table is the fact that if done right, you can use those same XForms/XSD documents/snippets to generate or run the server side processing code as well.
Client side forms + validation PLUS server side validation all form the same drops of XML shared on the server.
...and of course you read the announcement about this, didn't you? And as such you know that they will still release zero-hour patches for vulnerabilities which are actively being exploited in the wild and/or are to the top left of the threat matrix (remote/system level explots).
You mean there are patches available for things OTHER than vulerabilities from Microsoft? Wow. Must have missed them at the bottom of the Windows Update page after the 250 zillion Security Patches.:-)
Maybe in your closed world of peecees and macs and linoox. There's a broader world of midranges and mainframes son, that never do - given proper administrative skills.
While I agree with your statement in general, I think the only reason most "midranges" and "mainframes" aren't compromised is that most of them are no where close to being connected directly to the internet. But, I bet with some bored creative internal employees, they're just as crackable, and just as (if not more) behind on patches and security fixes than externall exposed machines.
It's those "volunteers" that keep greedy sneaky business fsckers like VeriSlime in check and keep the internet running. Otherwise, we'd be paying on a per byte per foot basis by now.
Generally, tie-in sales provisions are not allowed. Such a provision would require a purchaser of the warranted product to buy an item or service from a particular company to use with the warranted product in order to be eligible to receive a remedy under the warranty. The following are examples of prohibited tie-in sales provisions.
Why we let the computer industry get away with the same crap is beyond me.

Compilers catch the typos. :-)
Don't get me wrong. I use Eclipse all the time at home. But more often than not, I'll use a text editor because it's just faster for me.

Oops. I meant 22U @ ~$300.
I snagged my rack here:
http://www.gtweb.net/rackacc.html
It was cheap (~$350) compared to the big name branded racks and it's pretty darn sturdy.
I snagged some 1U SuperMicro chassis way back when and went to it.

> Then have a look at Gentoo.
Well, now that I've been using FBSD for a few years; no need to switch. Even if Gentoo portage is as good as it sounds.
If Linux is working for you, then don't switch. There noe reason [for you] to do so.
I personally went with FreeBSd instead of Linux because the Ports system made installing things a breeze.
I've Linux have a Ports-like system, I'd use Linux too.
P.S. Yes, I know, apt-get, but the Debian installer was a nightmare at the time of learning a *nix compared to FreeBSD.
Troll huh. Ok I'll bite.
I own:
Linksys WAP11.
No connections with broadcasts turned off: firmware Random reboots with firmware
2 WUSB adapters: constant signal loss and even locks with drivers.
2 WMP11 cards: random signal loss.
WAP54G: slow inconsistant speeds, even right beside the WAP.
Take a look at DSL Reports Linksys forums and see for yourself. Their firmware and drivers suck.
If it's anything like their access points and routers, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. I think they have yet to actually complete any firmware for any of their products. I've got a WAP11 in which the only way to fix random reboots is to install a well hidden 1.1A firmware that will never see the light of day.

Couldn't one also use CVS to apply customization to fresh installs via `cvs update`? Probably a little easier than patch files. Maybe not.
It's those "volunteers" that keep greedy sneaky business fsckers like VeriSlime in check and keep the internet running. Otherwise, we'd be paying on a per byte per foot basis by now.
Let someone else "innovate"; someone not trusted to serve the .com/.net root zones without biased interest in the outcome of how it works.
