Sec. 14. - Sale, etc., on agreement not to use goods of competitor
It shall be unlawful for any person engaged in commerce, in the course of such commerce, to lease or make a sale or contract for sale of goods, wares, merchandise, machinery, supplies, or other commodities, whether patented or unpatented, for use, consumption, or resale within the United States or any Territory thereof or the District of Columbia or any insular possession or other place under the jurisdiction of the United States, or fix a price charged therefor, or discount from, or rebate upon, such price, on the condition, agreement, or understanding that the lessee or purchaser thereof shall not use or deal in the goods, wares, merchandise, machinery, supplies, or other commodities of a competitor or competitors of the lessor or seller, where the effect of such lease, sale, or contract for sale or such condition, agreement, or understanding may be to substantially lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly in any line of commerce
A user group sponsored by a company seems to be the normal as I have seen it.
I am part of a Cisco users group. They have conference rooms that they let the group meet in, they supply food as times, they supply guest speakers, and they give away promo items. On its own the group would not stay very viable without some of this help. Because of the busy schedule that most of the group has, the management of the user group would not be stable.
We have a core group that does not work for the company that works out the scheduling and presentations that the group wants. During the meeting we will also talk about other company's products and issues; loyalty only to the point that we get the products we need to do the job.
We use their offices and conference rooms for certification study groups, use their equipment to create study labs, and raid the beverage area.
Any new item will add some additional overhead. In general most of the knowledge can be used across multiple areas. Its is sometimes the small things that trip you.
Were I worked they had a HP system running HP's flavor of Unix. In checking out new software we would use a second HP system that was the same model but a smaller variation of it but ran the same OS. What would trip us up sometimes is they used different tuning parameters. Tune a app up on one system and it would go bonkers when you put it into the other.
Now put that in the light of different OS that use different parameters to accomplish the same result. If you are thinking of one system and adjust the other, how long will it take when you trying to figure out why it just does not perform?
Handling different systems can be easy or it can be a pain. The people working on them must very diligent in thinking twice before doing something. You might have to form a formal / informal methods of reviewing changes to make sure things are done correctly, even the smallest of changes. This allows a second pair of eyes to check to make sure it correct. Just assuming you are correct will sometimes prove you are wrong in a very nasty ways.
There is more to it then what you are seeing. I have Ad blocking software installed. The only way to get to the story is going through the Ad. Until I allowed the ad to come up, I could not get the next link to the story.
Popular science had something like this a few years back but involved a chemical that you sprayed on sand that was spread out on foil. Do not know what your but it was on a APRIL 1 edition.
MS Cluster - ACK!!! Your network person is going to wack you upside the head when they learn what you have done to them!
MS cluster has the feel of a VAX cluster. Multiple systems handling client requests load balancing between them selves.
The way a MS cluster alternates client request among themselves is to share the same MAC address among the units in the cluster. If you were on a shared media type of Ethernet, the incoming packet will have the MAC address of the receiving server. All servers can see the packet and one of them will process it. Well it seems to work or so it seems
Now for the "bad" part of it. Some one up there did not really understand networking or decide to make his own rules and ignore common sense. Put a network switch into the mess. A switch will learn which port a system is one by listening to the sending station MAC address. If multiple systems are using the same MAC address, which port will a new client request go out on? The last server that sent out data.
Himm.. Not working well here. Lets call MS and find out what we can do to make this work. There answer? Turn off learning for the switch.
I do not think a lot of the developers are going to take the time to answer a RFP in the depth that most software vendors or VARS would. Open source people are not going to be paid for a "sale" were as the normal software vendors are competing for some money if they can make a sale. An RFP has some type of reward (sale) possible to the winner for them to spend time on responding to it.
A RFP is a request for proposal - A proposal for what? A proposal is a first step toward a contract. A contract with who? Who will get paid? I do not think a RFP process will get you very far.
For an open source product the cost of the software will be zero. Support and maintenance I guess would be in-house. What's left then is comparison of different capabilities. This becomes a request for comments now (RFC).
A suggestion change here. Maybe send a RFP to consulting firms on helping you with project(s)
A selected firm could help in gathering requirements, research products, help in the installation and maintenance... If you trying to spend money anyways.:)
A coordinator inside of the company runs most of these programs. It was his job to find these co-op students and find placement with the company. If you feel that things are not right, talk to this person.
Explain to the coordinator that you feel there is some sort of miscommunications between what you are expecting and what you are doing. Is this what was planned for me for me? It is fair to ask that you would like to get a reassignment to an area that has what you are looking for. Now what are you looking for? Did you have some input or did you just let them stick you somewhere? Two sides here:)
This is a two way street. They are trying to lure you into work there when you finish your education and for you to find out what is out there.
This is not a patent on NAT. This is a patent on "Security system for network address translation systems".
You are guilty of stupit copy and plaster. With the obmission of a couple of words you have changed the meaning of the topic. You have now become equal to the Star or the National Enquire. Whats next? Altered photo's to make your flame bait?
You should know by now there are people in the world that have not a clue. They are unable to make a rational, logical thought processes. They can read one line and make a leap to what is said is the truth. They are unable to read anything else to see if there is any truth.
This is the uninformed masses that the polical leaders have figured out how to handle. It seem Mr Taco, you to have figured out how to be a polical figure. You are leading your army of stupit people into some sort of battle. Were are you leading them?
After reading a few of the comments here I have a comment myself. You are a arrogant bunch of asses!
This electronic form of communication is all nice and everything but I do not see a good reason to put EVERYTHING "on-line". Get off of your lazy butts and walk down to the library and go check out a book. It's a bunch of silicon snake oil you have all been subverted.
This generation is being created as a bunch of mindless idiots that do not have a concept of the basic fundamental concepts on how things are really working. What is coming out is a bunch of script kiddies. Fundamental concepts are those things that allow building more complex designs. If these are lost you will only be able to build on what previous others had conceptualized.
A "book" is more than just printed words. The creation of it is also around the way it was going to be delivered to the recipient. A translation of anything has ALWAYS resulted in the lost of some of the information. A translation can come in different forms, between languages or between media.
You always need to keep track of the roots of all knowledge to be able to understand were you are today. To keep track of the knowledge you need to know how it was created. The creation of the knowledge is as important as the knowledge was in the first place. How will it be recreated if the method is lost? It may be a royal pain in the butt to actual walk somewhere to look for something but sometimes the trip is as important as the final outcome.
I would like to write more but I do not have time to put down here what I really feel. There is a balance between the past and the present. Do not overbalance because you may loose the past.
There is one tag line that someone has that really strikes a cord here "he who controls the past - controls the future". Those books are our past. Printed material is our past. Libraries are the keepers of the past.
Have you ever gone slow for even a part of the day? This whole faster thing has been on my mind just this last week. I was thinking to my self of when was the last time I just layed in the grass and watched the clouds for a afternoon? I think I am moving to Montana soon.
To add to the thread.. Working on installing server #14 this month. This new one has 14Tb of storage. It has racks of 50G diskdrives.
What is used in the real world does not make sence to some people who do not work were there are large data systems. The concept of multi-Terra servers are beyond some people grasp.
Because some one person with a few point made a decision on a whim. Why? Becuse they knew it would upset someone - because its monday and they feel pissy - becuase it might have been you and now you get to comment on the moderated post. Who the H$%% know why sometimes.
NetBEUI =( . Of all of the protocols to keep around. Why not bring back the Xerox PUP while we are it! Shit.
"HEY LOOKY US! - We support GPL also! Here is a trash protocol that we can give away free with out giving anything real out".
Most people never had to live through networks from hell when running un-routable protocols for there main protocols. SNA was also one of the other great ones. Had to live though countless meeting on why in the morning that every hour the network would come to a stop as a new timezone became 8:00 and a new shift of people started there PC and started Broadcast storms company wide.
The party we had when we finally got some of the major communications to IP and we shut down the bridges!!
Is it not possible to set up a site that will exchange cookies? You have a DoubleClick cookie, it takes it and gives you back a random cookie. Actual, I was then thinking it goes though and allows you audit the ad type cookies and upload them all, They all go to the exchange pool. The cookie it took, it stores in a database of cookies to be used for random exchange with systems visiting the site.
Now instead of banner exchange ads, you have "exchange your cookies here ads."
This then leads me to the thought, could they complain legally if a site is messing up cookies of a person who visits a site? The cookies are on a person system so legally the person owns them. If people decide to mangle the info, they really can not do much about it, nor could they? Who really owns the cookie on your system?
Were we are, we punch two small holes on the opposite sides and the use a paper clip to attach the disks together. It makes for great Christmas wreaths. This years run is about 200' long. We are critial in what CD are included in the wreaths, only software upgrade disk this year.
If you are running a pop mail account, why are you using outlook for your mail? Because it was free and given to you? There is no free ride. Every thing comes with a price tag - your privicy.
I have Eudora as my mail client and so far have not a cookie problem. If you are concerned about this problem, get a e-mail client other than outlook. Problem is that you will have spend money. This will not work with your free e-mail services like hotmail or yahoo and there kind.
