In many ways, the Internet today is like the wild, wild west. It was never designed for commercial use," said Douglas B. Armentrout, CEO of NeuLevel. ".BIZ is where business will be conducted in the future because it has what the business community needs: superior technology, better security and a platform to facilitate the business transactions of the future. This isn't just the future of the Internet; this is the future of business."
Respondents to the Goldman survey indicated that mainframes, Linux servers and supply-chain management ranked as the three lowest spending priorities, in that order
Well of course Linux-spending ranks low in spending, it's free!
(I'd hate to be writing supply-chain management software in that case.)
Advanced design is relying on nature's model more and more
Not always. We don't have cars with any kind of legs, they all use wheels. For the same reason, we have planes which have aerodynamics for lift and engines for thrust.
I can't think of a good commercial use for it
In the same way, I can't think of a good one for a car with four legs either. It just isn't as efficient.
Of course there's a reason why birds don't have engines and we don't have wheels...
Why don't they just make a TLD for every possible three-letter combination? That way, people/companies will put their website in the correct category, instead of registering their name under every possible com/org/net/biz/web TLD. It would become too cost-prohibitive otherwise (considering current pricing).
This will solve the TLD problem once and for all -- plenty of supply for TLDs and new domain names for everyone...
We remain committed to free speech and to the value of scientific debate to our country and the world.
In what way is that commitment evidenced? You only are committed to free speech when no one threatens you with litigation? Sounds like someone else is calling the shots.
We will continue to fight for these values, and for the right to publish our paper.
Looks like the towel is in the ring (at least for this round)...
FWIW, I don't really care what they do -- it's their call. But this kind of rhetoric doesn't hold much water...
Yeah, REAL nice. I started downloading (supposedly) 24MB [@1.5MB/s], and then it just kept going right past that. It got to 64MB before I stopped it... (This is under IE5.)
What good is a fat pipe if you can't turn it off ?!?!
Have you considered that all six items you listed just point to it reflecting the developer's own lives ?
1. It takes over half an hour to get out of bed. Come on, people, move.
2. If one sim cuts the other sim off, he sits there like an idiot for, again, half an hour.
3. You had... NO TIME. I don't understand how people got anything done in this game. You barely get out the door in time for work (since it takes you an hour to get up and shower, never mind trying to eat). You get home, and you've got to focus on whatever you need to do to make your sims happy (read, watch TV). You barely have time to make dinner and clean it, never mind tring to make peopl e happy. Then they get so tired they can't even walk to their beds. All so they can get up right away the next AM and do it all again!
4. No weekends. Weekends might have helped solve #3.
5. Suspension of disbelief thrown out the window. Come on. Why do my neighbors just drop by for a visit while I'm in my pajamas?
6. No time! (did I mention this already?) How am I supposed to let my sims socialize when I can barely keep them fed and well-slept? I mean, I can barely make them happy, how am I supposed to supplement this with visiting?
The only problem might be that its sole internet connection to the outside world is a 2MBit pipe.
Wow!! And there have been so many lucky multi-national corporations there that have 128kbps+ links back to US offices. That's some pretty nifty pipe!!
If you don't get my drift, I doubt there's anything to stop the NeoNapster group from getting more bandwidth into the country (as far as I can see)... I doubt that they are the correct location, as I'm sure they do have _some_ copyright laws.
circumvention device
A device (including a computer program) having no, or only a limited, commercially significant purpose or use other than the circumvention, or facilitating the circumvention, of an effective technological protection measure
So, it looks like DeCSS is out, LiViD is in.
Although, developing an open source LiViD-style program without distributing a DeCSS-like tool (ie. for testing) is a fine line...
Anyone happen to have links to the Microsoft system he discussed?
Maybe he means an extension of this ?? Otherwise I have no idea -- I don't feel stupid though, considering the style of the rest of the interview...
Slashdot Mirror
I like this analysis at , where it seems that you'll get 48 in a 40u rack. Compared to the RLX, which gets several hundred, it isn't quite so flash.
Of course having Linux available before Windows and HP-UX is interesting...
while (! connected()) {
sleep(8);
work(12);
wait_for_sync_up();
}
Non-speakers might want to try a translation.
Or learn to speak first.

.TLD will:
- increase security
- provide superior technology
- facilitate business transactions

So how do I mount the middle two units?
Wahoo!! Just what every open source programmer needs. I think MS is only interested in sharing whatever it thinks will increase its .NET adoption.
.NET API and internals.
Having these tools does nothing to help interoperability, since that is all bound to the

No doubt about it, IBM sure knows how to do R&D.
The concept of swearing being "bad" is just so, so arbitrary
Only as arbitrary as the concept of physically injuring someone is "bad".
Only as arbitrary as "inalienable rights".
In case you haven't realised, every society's laws are completely arbitrary.

As I understand it, it's immediately going back with special US cargo. The $1M winner of course takes their own private jet.
I must have got off in the wrong universe -- my Unix Timestamp seems to be ascending...
4) Intel makes SMP systems.
Try buying a MP AMD system from your local vendor.
If a corporation needs SMP, they _must_ buy Intel (for x86 servers).

I'd like to see you measure this under Win2000. Microsoft has broken BOTH ways of measuring uptime reliably.
So TLA = TLI? Still doesn't help the inherent 17,576 limit.
