I think that this will be used in Sun's datacenter solutions and datacenter in a box dreams. They have all the other key parts for it except they've been using other companies products for the data part of datacenter. Plus mysql is a company you can buy and control where with postgresql I don't think you can buy the global development group since it seems to be a collection of developers. I don't know enough about postgresql though so i could be mistaken. Seems like a pretty good business decision to me.
Well indirectly. My wife was driving home a party that night, and she saw a green light streak across the sky and kind of explode. She's been a little worried about the possiblity of the US getting attacked by a country that is protesting our actions in Iraq, more like a back of the mind uncertinty then a real fear.
So according to her she hit the gas and drove home on the m-59 expressway at about 90 miles an hour. I think she hit or kicked me a couple times before I woke up and was a little pissed.
She explained the entire thing and made me sit up with her for an hour flipping around the tv trying to find out what it was. I figured it was some kind of meteor or space debris, but at that time all she heard was "I'm tired and we're not dead so lets go to sleep.". Finally I was allowed to go to sleep but she said she stayed up until 3am looking for info. We didn't hear anything about it until i saw it on drudge the next day.
Find out what committees he's on. Tailor your arguements/points to how it will effect them. From his web site I can see that he is on the following: Senate Armed Services Committee Senate Committee on the Budget Senate Commerce Committee Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Science, Space and Technology
Good set of them. But focus on the Commerce Commitee.
maybe talk about how it will lower corporate production and introduce significant hurdles for products made here in the global market.
This bill will also make it even harder for a startup to compete against established companies, since they will need to either spend manmonths building in copy protection into their software or buy an expensive package that they'll still need to spend extra time implementing.
Next this bill would also seem to indicate that if you update a piece of software you'll need to include copy protection. I know that at work we make changes to code regularly. So after this bill goes into effect, to change just the copyright date in the source, I'd have to implement some copy protection. (probably over the top but...)
Then look at how he voted on key bills in the past like he voted YEA on the Intellectual Property and High Technology Technical Amendments Act of 2001
Also a good thing before meeting with him is looking at his PAC contributions and maybe talking to them first and getting their thoughts on how the bill will effect them. Which unfortunatly he got $5000 from the National Association Of Broadcasters Television And Radio Political Action Committee. But also groups effected by the bill have also. $2000 - Nortel Networks Inc Political Action Committee $1000 - Technology Network (Technet) Federal Political Action Committee $1000 - Eds Political Action Committee
The republican side of Technet is run by James "CEO Netscape" Barksdale, this might be a good one to start with since I think they might be against the bill. And their pockets are open to Commerce commitee members of the house and senate.

From what i understood it wasn't the files that it was deleting it was the directories. the files a probably going to be locked my the system becuase they are running, but the ini and virus definition files are not going to be so are prone to be deleted. so next time the computer is restarted, tommarrow morning, they will have no anti-virus software becuase it can load without the support files.
ASP is fine on a microsoft platform but it's designed for a microsoft platform. As a full time ASP programmer, if my company decided to move to a unix platform I would go out and learn PHP. I have been playing with PHP since knowing both increases my marketablity. I think porting ASP to BSD might be chilis way of finding a niche market if microsoft does come through and put.net on linux.
I use VNC on the machines that I maintain, it's so much easier since I can access my machine or a server from a java capable browser.
The rest of the company uses pcanywhere, i've tried to get them to start using VNC but they basically say they don't truct it.
When one of the guys in my group left for another company, he wanted to use it on some servers, but the admin said that it was unsecure and had a memory leak.
SO anybody else use VNC and have these problems or not?
Just becuase Peter Jennings keeps saying that, doesn't make it true.
Just because he does say it doesn't make it false. I'll be the first to admit that i'm not politically savy, but from hearing the same thing on NPR and rush, and then weighting in my own beliefs I think they are right. but then again I could be wrong.
Every cabinet appointment he has made has been a body blow to librals
Please, maybe a few, but I fail to understand why Andrew Card, Condoleezza Rice, Rod Paige, Mel Martinez, or Norman Mineta are a "body blow" to liberals. Add to that, that the FBI and CIA heads are the same as under the clinton administration
He went after Roe v Wade on his first day in office
He did go after Roe v Wade, he simply cut funding to other countries for abortions. He's not outlawing them in other countries, they can still get them but not on our dime.
Katz isn't going to change anything with all this "dark times for techies" ranting
Who cares if george w doesn't have a clue. it's not like he's this dictator that can do anything he pleases. He may give his ok or sign a piece of paper, but it's not going to happen without the GOP, his advisors or the illuminati okaying it first;) Basically a monkey can run the country as long as he can sign his name to something on command.
I doubt the bush administration would drop the microsoft suit. it's a close senate and house, dropping something like that wouldn't be good. Bush has to pick his stuff very carefully.
I do see the bush administration help in keeping the verdict of spliting them up from ever really happening. microsoft has enough money to keep it going for the foreseeable future.
You may wonder, why is there.museum and.aero but nothing like.xxx,.comp, or.movie?
Basically it boils down to the proposals for the.aero and.museum gTLD's met the criteria
that was laid out by ICANN. If the companies that proposed.xxx and.movie had a sound
business plan and the technical and administrative skills that ICANN felt that would be
needed by a gTLD registry, then they might have been accepted. The US Department of
Commerce gave ICANN the task of administering the process of getting 7 new gTLD's out
there for use. The 7 gTLD's that ICANN set forth still need to be accepted by the
US Department of Commerce, but that is supposed to be just a rubber stamp formality.

actually he loved the earth blowing up part, he couldn't remember anything else, he's four. Every time someone asked him he just said "the earth exploooded" with a goofy grin. I'd say they went to much for the pg rating, which i didn't mind because my son could go see it. If they opened up a little and settled for a pg-13 it might have worked a little better. Can't really show the anger of the main character being restricted to pg dialog.
Not sure if the writer of the article has really played shadowrun, some of the links and impressions are a little off form what shadowrun is really about.
Shadowrun is more about the fight against the mega-corps and them being able to dictate the path of human progress, and their semingly lose of morals and ethics for profit margins and shareholder value. Anything for a buck.
It's great that Shadowrun has gotten some publisity that having a Slashdot article can draw, but please look at the game yourself and please do not judge it on what you have read here.
The company who produces Shadowrun also produces Battletech and a few others. Their website is here.

Thanks, slashdot for giving Shadowrun some publicity.
they do not own the rights to the smell of grass in general, just as it is tied to a particular product. Some other company can trademark the smell of fresh cut grass to tennis rackets and it would be destinctly different from that of tennis balls.
Not sure how ASP can rule since this posting is about languages not frameworks. Now if you said vbscript, jscript, perlscript, cobolscript, or pythonscript ruled then you'd be a little more on target.
Sounds like a lot of the cyberpunk writings in novels and shorts stories. Big corps which a few term as mega-corporations. In a few cyberpunk worlds those megacorps have extraterritorality (sp?) like a foreign goverment does in the states. Corpratism sounds a lot like facism. There was a song called "the product" by the band consolidated that talked about some of the ideas above, can anyone quote the song. Sorry for the misc. ramblings writing this while fix the chaos brought on by the "i love you" virus.
