with those that brand the CIO as a management goon and the CTO as someone who might actually understand the technology being used. Most of the companies that I worked for have been small (100 or so people) so they tend to only have one or the other with the title depending on what issue of Wired the CEO last read. They're normally fairly useless people. It does, however, bring up an interesting point: most techies that are promoted to management aren't that good at it. Most managers who are brought in or transferred into the CIO/CTO position suck just as bad at it. I'm not sure where that leaves us but....
skynet and killing us all, it will be pretty cool. It does, judging from the buzz-word count in that story, sound as though it's still in the early stages:
EMERALD's intrusion detection architecture is based on software components that address real-time detection, analysis, and response for a broad range of external and internal threats. What's more, EMERALD components were designed to be independent, dynamically deployable, easily configurable, reusable, and broadly interoperable, Porras said
we could do something like this already. I'm getting tired of reading things like this and having it go nowhere fast. Wouldn't it be cool if we could actually go ahead and do it?
Note these two terms:
7.1.7 remove or alter copyright management information including, without limitation, name or identification information of the author or owner, copyright note or terms & conditions for use of a work;
7.1.8 avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate or circumvent by any means, any process or system such as copy protection systems that are intended to protect the rights of a copyright owner;
the next "Melissa" virus. After the script opens your address book and transmits itself to all of your buddies, you've just broadcast "information or software that contains a virus, trojan horse, worm or other harmful component"
I play alot of games and, looking through that list, I've only played 2 of their "Top 10". Aside from the notoriously buggy Falcon 3.0(patch "g") they seem to ignore military strategy/action games almost completely. Another thing that's annoying is that they seem to veer between the games that started a genre and those that were the best in that genre. Maybe two lists would have been better.
reaction of the "suits" to other people utilizing their content to build websites. For instance, I run a website called Insidespaces.com It is a home-repair/improvement website. We've spent an enormous amount of time/money building content. In this market segment (and probably many others), there are many websites that are just a collection of links surrounded by a collection of sponsorship/affilliate logos and programs. Many frame the linked content in and essentially build their sites from other people's hard work. "OH OH!!, you get the traffic!!", you say. It's worthless traffic. In order to get a good content site going you *do* need traffic but repeat traffic is crucial to retail sales and other revenue streams. If the people looking at your content are never exposed to these opportunities, that piddling little bit of traffic doesn't much help. Therefore, I can see where managers that don't deal with the nitty-gritty of the web would sign up for stuff like this but it *is* crazy. For the most part, it's not even worth bitching about unless people are stealing your stuff lock stock and barrel.
I bought the X10 camera awhile ago and returned it. The picture is actually decent but if there's anything but full sunlight, you can forget it. I wasn't expecting it to work in the dark but I felt it was a bit ridiculous. I was experimenting with it and put it in my kids room and even with the light on it was too dark.
might be more of an issue in the very near future in CA.....back on topic: If Intel keeps this up, they're going to have people avoiding their ".0" releases like Redhat and back in the day, Word Perfect.
Look, there's little reason to run around flapping your arms and screaming at the rain. It doesn't seem as though you have any incentive to stay like options or something. Take the promotion and quietly find yourself a new gig. If you don't need the paycheck, just quit.
In the "IBM spin" the IBM rep notes that "These [backups, etc] are good points, these issues will have to be addressed in the marketplace and you're absolutely right - but these have not even been discussed yet." It sounds like they don't really even give a shit about what appear to be fairly serious problems and they are going to resolve them in the "marketplace". So just leave it up to the backup software to take care of it? We'll just create this giant mess and dump it in someone else's lap, as long as hollywood is happy.....or am I reading this wrong?
in several billion years when the sun runs out of easy to consume fuel and begins to expand. Eventually the earth should be slightly inside of the sun. At that point, earth will become uninhabitable....unless we figure out a way to really screw it up in the mean time.
You're right. I recently just gave up on network solutions and went to register.com to get new domain names. The stupid network solutions system is unusable. You submit an email request and it never works. In my case, after 4 submissions it actually worked but I got an email back saying that my request had been denied....even though it went through.
You're right, of course, the majority of the article is just drivel but the bullet points about halfway down make sense in this (linux on desktop) context. He probably should have dropped the text and just submitted the bullets...:) In any event, this isn't news on any day.
there are a couple of differences here. The first is that Napster is a (presumably) cooperative entity whereas I wouldn't think the mob is. The second is that it is in Napster/BMG's best interest to work with the authorities and not piss them off whereas gangsters could normally care less or just not want to be noticed.
To be honest, I don't feel that this particular issue is that "far out there". Sure, here in the states it's anthema (well, at least until congress gets involved) to even hear of this but in Germany this is clearly not the situation. This is just another example of an international company (by design or not) having to be sensitive to local interests. In Germany, this is a particularly sensitive subject and Napster/BMG should, to the extent they can, be sensitive about it. Similar to McDonalds renaming menus in foreign countries to suit local tastes but with a far blacker background.
I like the one about "only those who attend the reading can vote". Not because it's a dumb statement but because most times I've watched cspan when they're covering the congress, there isn't anybody there...even when they appear to be voting.
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

stay on top of this. I hope that it doesn't go anywhere but if the "Working group" falls back into the shadows, it might change it's mind yet again.

of the Security FAQ? The way the intro is written it's as if there are many versions.?!? I read over it and it seemed pretty good.
is the comment from the "Quantum Guy" is that he hasn't really had any emails about it..."maybe 40 or so".
Isn't civilization a Sid game?

I tried everything.

It bothers me. Who would "sanction" a piece of software? Michael Eisner? I think this sucks on ice.

Are the MS tools free? I went to the MS site and they have something for download made by "sonic foundry". Is that it?

From Section 4, Article 5:
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
It's not a production system...yet...:) Anyways, thanks for the info. I appreciate it.
