that this is a game, run on a companies' servers. They are providing you a service for cash. This isn't a public place. They have every right to do with the service as they see fit. Same thing with the no shirt, no shoes, no service clause. It is not public property. Enter a store, and they have the right to refuse service if your conduct is not acceptable. A store will toss you out on your fanny if you start spouting off for just about anything the store owner feels is offensive. That is what the public ROW (Right of Way) line is for. Once you step beyond that line, you are now governed by how the owner of the property wants you to behave. If you don't act that way, you are harassing loitering or etc... I have no sympathy. If you don't like the way you are being treated. LEAVE. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED BY LAW TO PLAY WOW. Harassment laws were enacted to keep people from having to deal with adverse situations in PUBLIC places. NOT PRIVATE.
I think the vein of this comment is spot on. When Microsoft started owning 90% of the OS market, they stopped being a private company and started becoming a public utility. Think about them like you would think about the telephone company. I understand deregulation and all, but much of what the phone companies are required to do by law is for interoperability. Windows has become a requirement of life, like running water, electricity, etc... It is an enabling product. Not bought for itself, but what doors it opens up to you. Electricity is useless without devices to plug into the walls. Guess where your three prong connector came from, government regulation (building codes) of private companies. Want to sell and outlet in the US, don't try doing it in a residential area with only 220 volts, you won't pass inspection.
Apple. I can see apple requiring this if they are going to move the centrino to the desktop, which is what the cryptic quote of "performance per watt" Jobs mentioned in his keynote. My personal theory, which may be way off; is that because Apple likes elegance, and quiet machines, they would probably use the Pentium M line on their desktops. Now, if they use that, then why not marry RAID to the chipset? This would give them cheap RAID onboard that they could make standard for their video/audio editing market. Just a theory, discuss amungst yourselves.
"Who has time for intuitive, elegant design when there is so much clicking to do?" -- Just in case you missed the concept in the English language called sarcasm, they are talking about the single button mouse being intuitive and elegant. Juxtaposing that to the "copious" amount of clicking that you would do with twice the amount of buttons. I am personally surprised that they let a comment like that get into a public forum. They are basically saying, "Fine, you guys are just to ignorant to get it, it isn't worth fighting it anymore, here is your damned two button mouse, get over it, but we still think we were right."
Or how the government unfairly competes with other public space attractions like Amusement parks, with National Parks? Should a private park yell and scream because the government has the ability to provide an alternative as a public work? Sure, thrill rides are not the same as a National Park, however, the recording by the BBC was not the same as the private recordings. They may not be recoreded as well, or have the same skill as a private one, but that then is to the taste of the individual. (Note: I am not saying that the recordings are of an inferior quality or skill, merely pointing out that a person MAY have a preference for one label or orchestra's recording style over another, just like I personally like National Parks over amusement parks.) Besides, these recordings are part of the public good at this point. It would be like National Parks charging for every bit of information a Park Ranger gives. You can get the information elsewhere, if you want to pay for it (in a text book or such), but it cannot be considered a secret, and therefore can be considered freely distributable by anyone, including the government.
No Name Bluetooth dongle, D-Link Bluetooth chicklet, and Microsoft Bluetooth dongle, all use the same driver in OSX, I get to choose ONE on my windows box..... Explain that one for generic drivers. Plus, I know of other USB ethernet controllers, like my belkin 10/100 that need a specific driver, when one is already available. The bluetooth one really ticks me off. Works on Mac and Linux with the same driver, windows, OHH NO, you have to install each companies stack, and only use their dongle.
I was looking at the linspire notebook a couple of weeks ago, the 1Ghz one. I knew it was 828, then I went to www.sub500.com, and nearly pooped my drawers, the notebook was now $1111. I thought they were just trying to gouge the/. crowd. Then someone said that they run www.sub300.com too. Those prices looked more reasonable. Originally got to them from www.linspire.com because of a very favorable linux journal review.
Very simple way to alleviate all of this. Remove the false advertising and there will be no problem. Unlimited is unlimited. If you want to get the business of people who are attracted to "Always On" connection, guess what, people are going to use it. Local phone calls still cost per connection. But, is local calls unlimited, yes. The phone company found a way to make money on those who use the resourse less to subsidise those who use it more. There is no free ride, but for $40 bucks a month, that is no free ride. Part of good management is the knowledge that the process will be abused by some. The good manager, the ones who can make money, know how to make that unlimited clause not interfere with the bottom line. Remember, gradma who shuts off her PC for most of the day, and only turns it on to check her email is paying through the nose for something she is not using. I happen to be using all I pay for.
I like the MacOSX init sequence myself. Plus, you don't have to replace init. They did it the right way, change what init does, not remove init. Leaves room for embedded systems to have lightweight init sequences, possibly with init calling everything itself, or complex boot sequences for desktop machines. Remember, the black boxes are there for a reason, it makes replacing each part that fails a LOT easier.

Ahh, but if you are truely to be tolerant, you must be tolerant of those who are intolerant. I am not passing judgement on you, merely pointing out another viewpoint. You will please pardon me, I have a plank to extract from my ocular cavity.
Now we just need a GTK port to it. Once you wrap the twin GUI with GTK bindings, all of the X11 apps that you have are now available. A toolkit is a toolkit is a toolkit. The graphic representation right now is solid objects, but that is just a look and feel. That can be changed. As long as you have the same programmatic interface that the app is expecting, you can change the look and feel of the app. Similar to skins, themes, but at the widget level. Most if not all of the gtk objects should be representable using text. Once you have that, there really is no going back. Zero effort for tons of apps that will run natively.
And in other news... Another Unix was shot down for its ease of use and gall to be pre-installed and working on machines. Apple was unavailable for comment on this latest attack on its EASY-TO-USE Unix.
Ohh, Apple is wonderful for its ease of use, do that for Linux, DAMN, something is wrong. We NEED those Joe Sixpack types to get market share. That is the best market Gates ever went for.
I would agree a little on the memory, however, the average GPS unit only has 8 megs for maps. The higher end units have 24. So that is either 24 or 8 megs that you are going to reserve for whatever you want. I would accept that as a nice tradeoff. Today, I need more maps, great, got 32 megs worth about to use. Lots more than entry level GPS units. This really depends on how you want to view the GPS part.
Secure Digital Slot. This is functionality that is being moved out into secondary cards, because the chipsets and antenna have become small enough. A GPS Antenna has to be significantly larger, hence, the Handspring cards, and this Antenna. Personally, I use the eTrex Vista a LOT, and this will probably be my next handheld, after a Visor Platinum. Good work Garmin.
I am also at UPS, Par building. I saw a couple of presentations by the Compuweenies. Those tools are so darned underpowered and ineffective. We were so disgusted with the solution that Compuware came up with that I wrote our own inhouse tool to do PLD verification. These people gave us this story that their tool could compare a file to a database so easily, and flawlessly that we would be as happy as pigs in slop. It took them 10 min just to get through reading in a file. It should have only taken them the 4 seconds that my tool takes. Garbage, and sheisters.
I live in upper Bergen county. I have been working for a fortune 500 company for almost two years. I started as a co-op. When it came time for me to graduate, before I actually graduated in May, the company put a hiring freeze on. I figured "oh, what the heck, it can't last that long". Boy was I _wrong_. I worked over the summer, and then took up a few graduate courses, just so they could keep me on. Now it is the beginning of the school year, the hiring freeze is still on, and I have no idea when they will cut the co-op budget. There was only three positions opened up by upper management this quarter. The uppers are really so disconnected from what is going on here, it is not even funny. They (the uppers) are all down in Atlanta, Georgia, and have not seen, or heard about what is going on here in NJ. We are so short staffed, that one of the projects I was working on actually had a production error that had to be re-staged because it was not caught in the QA faze. Now we are running into the problem that there are not enough developers to keep the projects that have not been cut on schedule. Because these guys don't have enough resources, the QA dept is just about doing nothing. The business requirements group is writing requirements for clients that could not possibly implement that functionality with the current amount of people. This is all for "cost-cutting" even though we still grew 5.6% percent this year, including Sept. 11th. Ridiculous.
Is this just the ATT stuff, or does it apply to the CSRG archive as well. To get the CSRG, you had to go to SCO to get a personal license for ancient unix source. It was free, but was kind of restrictive. Now, this source, seems to cover the same stuff as the CSRG discs. The 4BSD is the most relevant thing there. Anyone know? Thanks.
