Really? You want to sit is a darkened, isolated room for hours at a time and click through an endless stream of vaguely-nude-looking images with unsettlingly high contrast, featuring men, women and children of all different body types?
Hint: There's free porn on the internet. Real porn.
Some how he has built a place people love to go - and love to learn. Perhaps our public schools could learn a thing or two from him.
I am suddenly reminded of the book Brain Rules, which discusses the fact humans evolved on the African Savannah, and that we are wired to do our best thinking and learning while active. The book goes on to state that modern schools and workplaces probably couldn't be made worse from a cognitive perspective even if we actively set out to design them in the worst possible way.
I went there with a group of friends as a senior in college and it was the most fun I've had in my adult life! We spent about 6 hours running, climbing, sliding, jumping, and generally laughing like children.
Yes, but you were stoned out of your tree while OP was not. It makes a huge difference.
I've found Global to be a few steps up on CTV when it comes to objectivity... not that either of them should be held up as shining examples of journalistic rigour.
Bear in mind, the National Post is the closest thing Canada has to a Fox News network. I've seen numerous instances of the NP playing fast and loose with facts and using lightly-camouflaged op-ed to subtly (or not so subtly) discredit people.
I suspect that after this event, lots of enterprise customers will adopt the stance you propose... either that or they'll abandon McAfee altogether.
The company I work for got hit by this. My personal machine was spared (not running XPSP3), but many, many of my colleagues were down for an entire day or longer while this was getting figured out and cleaned up. A quick back-of-the-envelope calculation for lost productivity at my company alone would easily climb into 7 digits... possibly even 8 digits. Now multiply that by the number of corporate customers that got hit.
Document volumes? Are the sites geographically dispersed? It sounds like you can get away with something lightweight like one of the open source options (e.g. simpleCMS, Joomla, Alfresco) or maybe Sharepoint if that interface is more intuitive for more of your users. You might end up asking your users to standardize on a single browser, but there should be no need for software installation.
As for your "no login" requirement, do you mean you want something like LDAP integration, or are you just planning to run the whole thing wide open with no access control?
I didn't watch the episode in question, but based on your description it sounds like the entire thing was an exercise in pushing buttons and seeing what the response would be.
But I'm not likely to buy the cheapest single core CPU in the first place - I typically look for the fattest part of the performance/value curve (usually somewhere in the $150-$200 range).
As for environmental sentiments, it's worth noting that one approach means I end up with an old CPU and some sticks of RAM sitting in a cardboard box somewhere, while the other approach means I have a functioning MB plus all the subsystems ready to be repurposed or donated someplace where it will be of some value to somebody.
Trust me, I've spent a lot of years and money doing incremental upgrades to machines. I guess I've just arrived at a point where I can't be bothered hunting for that elusive 10% performance delta on an existing platform. I'll still add memory or hard drive capacity if necessary, but even that doesn't seem to be particularly frequent anymore.
This is pretty much what I do these days anyhow. I used to get excited about the idea of an "upgradeable" MB, but for the last bunch of years I have found that I just replace the whole machine (maybe minus the case and the stuff the plugs into the back) when the need/whim hits me.
I actually read a sci-fi store with a 'history viewing' device, where the police can look back in time.
I actually think I read the same story - a loooooong time ago. IIRC the technology involved had something to do with ordinary walls and other surfaces being discovered as having some sort of quantum memory, which stored impressions of nearby events.
An attacker could theoretically just jam the frequencies that the recorder/transmitter uses, and then attack you
Which attacker? You mean the scab-ridden meth addict who's waiting over by that mailbox while I finish my ATM withdrawl? Or the drunken neanderthal at the bar who thinks I'm staring at his girlfriend and decides he needs to prove some kind of point?
... or did you mean the computer nerd who's going to come up out of his basement and attack me as a way of testing that his latest jamming device actually works?
What a waste of a perfectly good pretend. No thanks, I'm going to pretend I'm on a white sand beach in Thailand, gentle waves lapping at the nearby shoreline, while I sip gin tonics and a dainty masseuse massages my pale white calves.

So his life was like a nerd version of the movie 50 First Dates?
... which is a form of honesty, when you think about it.

Do not look at article with remaining eye.
I am almost 100% certain that Documentum is massive overkill for this particular request.

Reading Slashdot?
Just when you thought the apple marketing machine couldn't get any more sanctimonious, Jobs goes and says something like this.

Yes, I know there are other religions, but it's the big three monotheist camps that are making most of the trouble.
Sadly, Hindu fundamentalists also need to be added to our list. Read some history of the subcontinent if you want more context.

Why is there a satellite needed for this?
Because just like how adding bacon makes any food better, adding satellites makes any technology better.

Because Bruce Willis and gang weren't available for the mission.

Drunks and people on meth are notoriously bad at thinking of long term consequences.
So why is it that the Baitcar Program has reduced the number of auto thefts?
