Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data
especially Article 7
but apparently nobody cares about what is legal anyway
Especially when traveling with small children security on Heathrow was always a show stopper for me. There a plenty of alternative hubs to fly from, unless you want to go to London.
IT does not need a special treatment, but all other areas like accounting, HR, etc. have already been accepted to be part of doing business. There is usually no question why a company need accounting and even controlling, especially one needs special knowledge to do this.
IT is seen as something that is not hard to do, so this problem gets even bigger.
It is definately not ITs job to decide what and if people waste company time. This is something to be decided by the management.
Online application for the business that require IE6 are a lame excuse. If IT had a propper release and retirement schedule in place this would not be happening. Keeping a crutial security hole for years in a business only because other departments did not do their job is not really an option. Just announce until when you will support an environment so everybody can adapt to it.
I had a similar problem to solve. How to receive some funds in Europe. Over here we got spoiled by legislation, so that banktransfers between accounts in the Euro-Zone have to be the same prive as domestic transfers, so I can send money to a lot of countrys, for no chare at all.
The Options to/from the US & Canada I found where:
paypay (I do not really like nor trust them) cheque ( my bank will charge about EUR 15 for caching the cheque and will take forever. 1st receiving the cheque via snailmail and then caching it) bank transfer (my bank charges me somewhere between 12-15 EUR plus the Sender has to pay an additionals 12-15 EUR) Western Union (pickup is free, iirc) cash via snailmail (did it a lot in the 80s, but not really safe)
sadly there is no cheap and quick method to send small amounts of money other than paypal.
The interesting part ist, that according to Heise News http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/68760 (in German) the police raided the GVU offices in Hamburg. It is assumed that the GVU paid some people for administering warez-servers. Maybe they used it at a honey-pot, but is was illigeal participation, if it is true.
Patents are government granted privileges. So the government can decide how far these privileges go. Naturalistic ideas creating IP where discarded by the founding fathers. Instead an utilitarian base was chosen, with the above mentioned consequences.
Kant wrote a Text regarding Printing and Piracy called "Von der Unrechtmäßigkeit des Büchernachdrucks" there he touches the subject of an extra contract while selling the book. Kant concludes that nobody would take the risk and buy a book if they would be held liable when their copy would be used as the origin of a pirate-copy. The result would be that the Publisher would fold, if they would try such a thing. Well times change. Tody the publishers are willing to try such a thing and the buyers will probably buy the book.

There are only very few situations where I would consider an Ink-Jet-Prineter:
1. mobile printing 2. ???
Well there seems to be only one situation. Everyone else shoud either buy a laserprinter or go to some printing-service. If you print only a few pages per month it will be cheaper to have them printed instead of buying new cartriges every time you want to print. Even color-laserprinters are dirtcheap these days.
The only thing I am missing with Powerbooks is a decent dockingsolution beyond bookendz.
Something with good OS integration, plus maybe a PCI(e) slot and space for a good 3D grafikcard. Qualitywise I would opt for somethin like a thinkpad dock.
What I am missing for Apple notebooks is a viable dockingstation. There are bookends but they are not integrated into OS X and you still have wear and tear on the onboard connectors. It would be nice to have the onboard port still free. Why should I use a 30' Cinema-Display when I have to connect at least 2 cables ervery time I want to use it. I think most people will have to connect 4 cables (keyboard&mouse, power, network and Video) plus optional sound, scanner/camera, external drives &c.
I have a similar concern. I want to have an Apple designed mouse with scrollfunctionality. Why should I buy an Apple keyboard with bluetoothmouse when I will have do ditch th mouse and use a scrollmouse bought seperately. I would even live with the one mousebutton but where ist scrollfunctionality in the mouse. Another thing is mousegestures. Sometimes when I surf the web I am lazy and just have one hand on the mouse. There is often no reason to have the other hand on the keyboard if you have mousegestures. Like having the morning coffe and suft the web. All (both) hands are occupied.
How do other people, who are forced to comply with US export restrictions address computing needs in countries like Libya, Sudan, Iraq and Iran. Is there any possibility to comply and still be able to have a moderately modern system. VIA C3 CPU comes to mind and Via Mainboards. Almost anything except software should be optainable.
Great, which DIstro is now save to use if you want to abide US export restrictions, but nevertheless have to deploy IT-systems in Sudan, Libya, Cuba or North Korea etc.
usually 1 (one) cent debt should be enough. When you owe any amount of money and are not able to pay, the people you owe the money can file bankruytcy for you. This is a way to make people pay, because you can threaten to file bankruytcy for themy when they obviously are not able to pay. At least in some parts of Europe it works this way.
According to your figures there are about 120 People in Europe per square km and only 30 in the US. But why does Finland have such an awesome cellphone coverage with only 15 people per square km. Besides there is coverage even in the middle of nowhere.
Well, it ist some kind of unexpected behaviour for a software to delete other programs from your system, like Corel Drav uninstalled Photoshop or Star Office deleted MS Office. etc.
The Show is not a consumer show but focused on business applications. So the fair-rules state that it is not allowed to show consoles and promote games. Nevertheless Nvidia was allowed to show the X-Box on their booth and have people play it, because they just demonstrate their videochipset.
BTW Sony did not pack up their whole booth but had cleared about 100 m. Yesterday (Monday) there was not really anything missing (as far as I could see), but all the Sony-people where wearing "free the Playstation" T-shirts. Eiter they expected someting like a complaint from Microsoft or they had them printed overnight

I onlx have a Duron 600 system but there is no fan on the heatsink and the powersupplyfan ist one of the very slow low noise fans so my system is almost deadquiet. I would be interested in some reviews of just the heatsinks without any fans, so I could check for the preformance of the heatsink by itself so I would be enabled to build a more powerfull lownoise system in the future.
the point is I want an heatsinkreview and no fanrieview, thanks.
What is really missing is an Exchange-Client for Linux/BSD/OS X
Outlook for OS X will come its way but to gain market share in the corporate market it is necessary to be able to connect to the "standard" mail and calender server most corporations use.
Ximian is trying something for gnome, but the best would be something working with all windowmanagers

I have to refer to my sig

I asked about a german version of "Das Keyboard" v. 1, but still no luck with it. Well maybe they now will make versions for other keymaps as well.

This might be the Beginning of some kind od World War 3.
I just do not know what to think nor what will come next.
Good Luck World
