compares retail(?) windows with enterprise linux support contacts, tries to establish that linux has less offerings as reason for costing less (no it is because 'Linux' does not need no lizzard tongue PR drones like this one) etc etc.
This quote:" Just because you have a bunch folks out in the community that have the access to look at open-source product means that, by default, it will be more secure or higher quality." Is that some error by the journalist or did he really say that? It is right after some dumb statment saying that just because thousands of people look at the source this will not lead to less bugs because those people are -supposedly- not qualified. Clearly this guy is trying to hide the delphi-effect (crowds of people are smarter than the average of the people they are made up of).
If the ISP's mailservers would also check for mail in outgoing mail, and automatically shut off anyone that exeeds a certain treshold. They would have to block all outgoing traffic on port 25 as well.
Certifying the mailservers will make the certified mailservers a more valuable resource (now every virus or spammer brings along it's own smtp engine). In turn this will make the keys to use these resources more valuable. So instead of bringing along a smtp engine, spammers will have to steal the keys to the mailserver (usually located in the outlook configuration).
Blocking outgoing port 25 at the first router will have the same effect, but very few providers have doen that as far as I know. Maybe you are right in that respect that it will not work after all.
MS and standards are a bit of a contradiction. MS will tembrace any standard and then extend it as they seem fit. In this case they were afraid that ebXML was gathering too much momentum so they just tried throwing a few sticks in the wheels of ebXML.
Why should you? They have shown over and over again that they can do it if the OS is silly enough. The trick is to encourage them to write them, just like they think the to trick to releasing is to post it on some bbs and hope somebody else sets it of. Really they only need to encourage and give some praise to the ones that do something that is good for av companies. The only reason these kids create virusses is because they are rewarded to do so. Reward them with praise and some admiration and presto: another virus writer born.
I guess my initial reaction was fsck 'em. Fsck 'em all. However, it could be suggested that they have made corporations and governments aware of many intrinsic insecurities in certain popular operating systems which may have prevented some larger potential catastrophe. The problem for these guys, is that we will never know and they will continue to be reviled and hated as losers. (That is unless they are talented enough to score a job with Symantec, the NSA or some other organization dealing with comp. security.)
never seen the manga (or whatever it is called), But the demo flight has a very small dummy lying on top of the plane. why do you think that your feet would hit the ground? If they stick over the end of the plane you are just too big, so you would not get of the ground anyway.
BTW if this is a half scale model, then they either already have a pilot that is less then four feet tall, or they don't intend to fly it with a human passenger. Would be interesting what they would use for engine. Some sort of largish APU (Auxillary Power Unit: startup generator in big jets) with the second turbine taken off?
The same can be said for shoes or disabled's vehicles. that more people could be able to ride it makes it much less cool. Besides: this is a frigging small jet powered plane. How can you compare that to a overhyped disabled's scooter for the fat & lazy?
As you all know, the Windoze scripting host is most used by virusses and worms. They patented the methods a good virus/worm writer would use. It would need different language variants, to cover all platforms infected by windos, and select the right script to run. It would need embedded data, like what website to ddos and what kind of email-adresses to attack, so it could spread in one convenient single file.
Now they can claim patent infringements from the virus writers so they can make a little profit from spreading insecure OS-es. Oh? they do already???
G% may be more energy efficient, but three of them in a little console box? You could play games with it like xbox-hover with the out put from the cooling fans. Fight simulators with \real\ turbine sound!
rising cost of books ~ 45% over 5 years nonused bells and wisthles bundled with books new editions like clockwork everybody but students should help lower cost for students.
Because of the absolutely phenomenal number of requests for this site (due to its being listed on Slashdot), we have had to take the unusual step of temporarily disabling the content of the site until things calm down:-) We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.
I wonder what retraining bears you saw on the road to linux. Are your users trained in win xp when they enter your organisation? If you do not expect windows training to be neccesary, why do you expect it to be neccesary for linux desktops? Just let them do the clickety-clickety and try it out on some to see what, if any, training they need.
It is even better than you think. Qt is dual licenced, you may use it with the GPL or QPL licences, or you can pay a wad of cash to trolltech and do what you cannot do with the GPL/QPL. In other words, Qt gives you more freedom (of choice) than gtk does.
contrary to what most/.ers think, you can dynamically link a program to a gpl-ed library. You should make sure however that it is not vitally important to it, the program should be able to run without it.
See for instance the fact that you can run propriety programs on a linux system. It may make (gpl-ed) kernel calls, but is not tainted by the gpl, because it is assumed the program can be run in other unices too.
It can even be argued that the desktop environment is part of the system just like the kernel, and that propriety programs can hook directly into those. The GPL allows that interpretation.
The GPL states that you only have to provide the sources along with the distibution. The distibution is in this case embedded in their player, so the only thing they would have to answer to is a demand from a verified owner of the player.
If you ask me the evidence is a bit thin. They are offering a full rom update (btw what os is it?) and all they find on them is a couple of strings in a binary? You'd expect the whole player to be in there, not just some subtitle stuff.
Oh well, their server recieves a slashdotting and their pr-person(subhuman) gets scalded. Then they release the code and all will be good again...
Bugger that. You are halfway a 5 year course you say, so it will be 2,5 years before you even come on the market, and some 5 years before you can be seen as somewhat experienced. If you can tell how the markets will be in 5 years from now (and be accurate) you can make a killing selling your services. If not, just hang on and do the right thing. Nuking the white house with shrubs in it might be right.

Wait 30 minutes to see what posts get moderated up and which post is first.
Look at the content of a highly moderated post farther down on the page and regurgitate it as a reply to a first post.
It looks like it's an original thought and it's at the top of the page!
If a post has nothing to do with the parent post, don't moderate it up. Chances are it's redundant from something posted earlier but farther down.
You should have posted to the real first post (and changed the title so it's not "re:") which is most likely moderated at a -1. Then it looks like you post is the parent post to those who don't browse at that level. Badabing! First Post. Without even trying.

it is patented, so even if you figure it out in a corner tower of a deserted castle on a uninhabited island, If it is already patented you are screwed. A cleanroom implementation will guard you against copyright issues, not patent threads.
250 W @ 120(110?) V is indeed ~2 A. But to compare this to a 3000Ah battery @ _12_ volts is only for the dumb. at 12 Volt that 250 Watt eqals ~ 20 Amps + ~ 15% for the inverter you'd have to run it off. You could run this off a 360 Ah for less then 10 hours before you'd damage the battery.
As with most things marine, the 'marine' classification doubles the price instantly. Better look for traktion batteries that are used in golfcarts and forklifts etc. As always with batteries, you pay for better quality, and just because lead ain't cheap either. You are not supposed to run these dry too, discharging till 50% gives a much longer lifetime.

I had no problem downloading it. Might have something to do with the fact that it is 10 AM CET at the moment?
Would you have been able to find the movie from the first page of that site?
