While that fact is interesting, if I bought a chip that says it could do X, I still expect it to live up to X. It doesn't matter if X is a reject from manufacturing Y. If they were Y-rejects that still can't handle X, don't sell it as such.
NEVADA GAMING COMMISSION has the code to slots games so why can't the FDA get the code to med systems?
Yeah, I'm going to rig a pacemaker, then find a guy with a pacemaker throw a secret combination of quarters into his mouth, jiggle his arm and GET RICH!
Whos track record? Verizon's? Because they have nothing to do with it. It would be like before the iphone came out poo-pooing what the UI might be because of AT&T's UI disasters in their cheap phones.
I've used android, and while it still leaves some to be desired it is miles ahead of anything verizon has ever put out. Also, the Android 2.0 gui looks promising.
Cut and paste? It's been out for months now, never used it. MMS? Never used it. MP3/AAC ringtones? Always supported, (you have to change the file extension is all), but actually never used them. Video recording? Never used it (and yes I have a 3gs.) I could go on, but literally all the features you bitch about are things that I don't want/never would use.
With iPhone I use everything that comes with it
Excuse me, but what definition of using everything doesn't include the features that you never use?
They're probably targeting the people who want an iPhone, but know better than to actually get one. The people who don't know better already have an iPhone.
When you move files from a user's hard drive onto a network share are you allowed to blame the user when you don't set the permissions the way they told you to?
A common problem with exchange? In that case the google side of the migration should have been expecting for it to happen and have had a plan to fix it before they went live.
As a college student, the possibility of having my own personal emails with faculty members exposed concerns me, but nowhere near as much as the confidential student data emailed between me and the staff members I work for.
I played on a private wow server for a few weeks and if I was ever serious about playing that game, I would use the official server. Private ones are bug ridden messes where if the realm goes down (and it does, frequently) you are not allowed to talk about the fact it is down, or inquire when it may be back up because there is nothing wrong with the server which has always been at war with oceania.
>He's saying he's been tripped up by the fact that the server manufacturers aren't delivering on their promises; hardly something he should be blamed for.
Only if Intel/AMD used facebook's software for their benchmarks could he expect the same sort of performance increase for facebook's software. He believed that their statistics on performance gain would translate directly for his software, and he can be blamed for that.

I don't see why this is really a problem, everybody with an opinion knows what they're going to use, then you use have the package manger report on what has the most installs and ship with those by default.
I'm not advocating for just one-size-fits-all distro, but with a good package management system, a one-size-fits-most-desktops distro is a very real possibility. Who cares what the distros defaults are when linux is so malleable? If your computer can't handle gnome then the installer could pick up on that, it can (after prompting the user) install fluxbox or something. The nice thing about linux is that while one size doesn't fit all, a single distribution is a jumping point into many different possibilities.
NAT is great, except for when devices behind the NAT need to take incoming connections. Non-standard ports? Please that makes you look like a fly by night operation and user error skyrockets. Or when I want to host two https websites on two different domains. Or when I two networks behind NAT need to see eachother and we have to build a vpn... the list goes on.
NAT is good for some places, but I am sick and tired of seeing dirty hacks to deal with NATed boxes to get around the fact that a box doesn't have a routeable IP address.
>Actually NAT DOES provide some sort of security. That is because by default nobody can see which devices sit behind the NAT.
You could also use a firewall to block some ICMP traffic. That is what the college I attend does, and they do it specifically so that, among other things, people can't see what devices are sitting on the network. Granted IPv4 gives the outside user some idea because of how many IP addresses are allocated to us, but with IPv6 that won't happen either.
The sysadmin class I'm taking right now uses Essential System Administration. Its doesn't function as a textbook in the same vain as math textbooks, but for required reading dished out by the teacher I think it works quite well.
The "internet" (or "anarchist-net" as we've dubbed it here) is nothing more than a distraction for students and could never ever possibly be used for learning This is like saying that everybody is using bittorrent for those Linux ISOs. It puts a nice face on the technology, and gives it an acceptable use. Lets face reality, people are just playing WoW or chatting on AIM.
They are choosing to ignore what is going on in class for the Internet. The law teachers there would probably be excited if the students wanted to have a discussion on their own views of the legal system.
One time in a sysadmin class I sshed into my box to setup asterisk, but lets not kid ourselves wow, aim, mindless surfing and the like are probably all that the wireless is getting used for.
I do know people who are stuck in 14.4 country, but most of the time I get 46-48Kb (or so the connection software tells me and downloads are usually 4-5KB). That might be because I dial into numbers located in Stowe or Morrisivlle, both are very local. The 1000 phone number blocks that the numbers are located in are owned by level3. I don't know much about how their network is setup, but I would assume that the signal isn't carried over POTS any further.
It does seem that they threw a lot into the plot but that is because it is four times as long. If you break the movie into four 22 minute segments you can see that each part stands on its own very well. I enjoyed that the plot was driving the story forward, if hadn't have had such an active plot the story would have just felt like was drawn out and moving too slowly. I think a lot of the anger at the plot is sparked when people try to wrap their head around the time travel and which instance of a charecter is which.
Having the knowledge on how to patch it yourself just allows you to secure yourself before the distribution has an official update available that can be easily installed. Would you rather fix a vulnerability today or wait until Patch Tuesday?
I don't think that you can really draw a this line between closed and open source. As you say, its not black and white; to me it seems that it is more about the update tool that ships with the operating system. Windows automatic update is nice in this regard because it nags the user until they enable it so the user will always have the latest patches. However, windows is by no means the only operating system to have security updates, when an update is available in my distro's repository it won't be troublesome at all for me to install.
I'm a little worried these kids are going to get their asses kicked.
I agree, many of them take themselves to be super serious computer hackers but in actuality are little more than script kiddies. So while they might not (or just a few will) be able to get "fair gamed" because this is mostly being done over the Internet, I also don't think they'll be able to accomplish much.
That's linked to on every freaking page of the encyclopedia.
At the bottom of the page and labeled "Disclaimer". Yeah, I'm sure thats just as effective.

No, no it wouldn't. It would harm the movement the movement that uses "freedom" to mean what they want it to mean, not actual freedom.

As a Vermonter I agree that 14.4 is out of touch, we have 56k here.
