Except this is not a "photo ban", it's a "everyone ban". They want to just keep everyone at least 20 meters away from everything for safety. That includes photographers and non photographers alike. So it is nowhere near the same thing at all. As always it's about creating Shock factor in the headline.
Yeah that's right.. No bloody A, B, G, or N. the RAW real original 2MB cards. I actually got them for free as we asked the company that made them for some "samples" so we could do testing on them.. And they sent us 5 with 2 PCMCIA "ISA" cards:) But that was so 1998.
Basically IBM is looking at their "bottom line" in both instances..
For ODF, IBM has the potential to get more money as users become no longer tied to Microsoft Office. (Lotus and whatever other "document" products IBM has that may support ODF.. What they are I am not sure.. I don't use them).
For the Hercules issue, since IBM "HAS" the majority stake in the products in that arena, having an open competitor would decrease their income.
Very interesting observation.. I was trying to figure out what Netfix's catch was on supporting 5 day delivery, and this makes perfect sense.. Although, what percentage of their user base does that, surely it can't be that high to really affect their bottom line much at all. I'm sure many users keep movies for a LONG time and end up spending a months subscription on 1 or 2 movies.
Actually, the PS2 has no more games being developed for it. I was actually in a Gamestop a month ago and there were only like 5 games in the pipeline before the EOL of new games to the PS2. And I can not justify buying a PS3 ESPECIALLY with the recent barrage of Firmware updates and EULA changes that take away the rights of the owner of the unit. I'll pass..
Personally I called them the "IBM Piece of S-2" as me and a few fellow employees did a "Office Space" on them. Smashing them batting practice on the hard drives into the nearly indestructible monitors, as we were getting rid of them or giving them away to teachers at the school w/ a 300 baud modem?!?!?!?. Yeah.. this was in 1998 too.. Twas a school "Behind the times" in technology.
Yes they are adding the functionality for backgrounding tasks etc.. I've heard and seen nothing on the "sharing" of between applications, only of adding in 3rd party handlers for mime-types. (ie.. opening an ODF in a 3rd party ODF application from the stock mail app). That does not require any rewrite of permissions.
And the way that the new backgrounding is being added is fairly seamless and doesn't require much of any change at all. And no "completely different programming paradigm" is required. Not sure who you are talking with, but they don't seem that well informed. All Apple did was pull in the "closures" that they introduced in Mac OS X 10.6 to build the "background tasks".. not really a "completely different" programming paradigm.
And I do believe that the whole "different frameworks" mess is just Apple and Adobe getting into a "pissing contest". Apple, Adobe, and Google are all acting like little kids in a playground up there and causing lots of collateral damage down here for the rest of us.
I don't remember that one either.. Possibly it was some "screwup" with hotmail (one of the screwups). But I do remember M$ Shutting down their "Play for sure" DRM servers so users could access all the music they had purchased through it.
This one I "verified" myself on a server I had to administer at college.. We very shortly afterwords gutted front page off of it and migrated everything away from Windows for the web server.
Regnum Online has already offered a free to play MMO for years now. Income is based on selling "premium" content to enhance play but not required to play.
I just sent them a message explaining the issues with choosing a proprietary technology to hold the LOC content on their website via their Contact US form on the mylog.gov website. Explaining the track record and history of Microsoft is to change the technology midstream, or abandon it, (ie. Play for Sure and the new Zune) also it does not allow FULL and OPEN access by ALL people. And that locking that content in Silverlight would require me having to purchase a new computer, new OS, PLUS several companion products (anti-virus, anti-spyware etc..) Just to view content semi-securely and safely.
Actually that is not quite correct. You can purchase a large quantity of DRM free mp3 songs from the Itunes store last I read it was over 2 million song (maybe up to approximatly half of the available music now) on itunes.
They used to be 30 cents more than a DRMed song, but now they are the same price (as of last month I believe)
By using this extension, the security whole is fixed. Just have to wait around for FF to implement it natively. This extension provides a *wand* like Opera has. (which is not affected by this security hole, because of this functionality).
Are you sure you (or someone else) didn't install the IE7 blocker? As I know it shows up in the windows update website, but since I disabled the *critical install* in my office network it will not be pushed through automatic updates (and it actually worked!!) However I know several employees HAVE seen IE7 push itself through via the critical updates yesterday (and these are people who wouldn't touch IE unless forced to, which I forced one to at the office so I could bugtest the webapp). so it IS pushing itself through critical updates if you have Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1.
At home I usually have on at least 8-9 windows open that stay open between restarts which is usually once every several months (Linux user here.. I rarely reboot my computer, let alone log off). Yes that does include about 5 different firefox windows with at least 3-4 tabs each that are "Static research" tabs that I have open for quite a while.
My work system has MORE windows open as it has a dual monitor setup. Plus if you count all the sticky notes open there, that's about a dozen more. I need to get a second monitor for my home system. Ahh the joys of being a programmer.
and My Mac OS X machine anywhere from 5-15 windows open all the time depending on if I have X-code up and running while I'm programming (usually stays open for weeks to months at a time.)
Now for the "windows" machine which sits most of the time suspended (vmware) has usally one window open. as it is usally only started to test some website in IE, then gets suspended again. (so technically that has a LONG time between reboots:-D )
If they implemented it similar to the way IE7 has implemented the Phishing option which is it asks you the FIRST time you run the browser (and everytime you upgrade to the lastest beta/rc/seemingly official release). And IE7 also does a *phone home* scenario to log and monitor the phishing sites just as opera will be doing, and the netcraft toolbar, etc.. This is nothing *new* or different. Heck this same concept and idea will be integrated into firefox 2.0 with the option to *phone home* to google for phishing detection. And it's provided as an option when you first start the browser it'll ask "do you wish to do this, yes or no" and lists the pros and cons of each option.
Home land security is WAY behind on things OR eweek is way behind on things. This was fixed back in March and ONLY affects X.org 6.9 adn 7.0 so Mac OS X is unaffected.
I'm using broadvoice.. So far very pleased.. it works very well andd at less cost than vonage. And they offer multiple plans to fit how much you actually use it.. I'm currently on the $6 100 minutes a month plan as i have my own device (asterisk box and some sip phones from siphardware.com) But their top plan is only $20 and give you unlimited calls to 21 different countries in the world. And you can switch plans at anytime w/o any extra fees.
HTTP 1.0 still has to send the two cr/lf combinations before the server response and their server send the 302 response if ANYTHING is sent which a single CR/LF.
However, if you send GET/?ABCDEFGH HTTP/1.1
their server waits for you to send headers and the two cR/lf combination.
actually I highly doubt it's the improper location header. AS a LARGE number of website (espcially PHP ones) do the same violation. I believe the real violation is the godaddy server NOT accepting any client headers after the initial "GET / HTTP/1.1" request line.. The client is supposed to send TWO carriage return/line feed combinations before the server response allow the the client to send User-Agent and Host: headers. Godaddy's servers are not allowing this. So opera and safari are trying to send the headers and not expecting a reponse from the server as they have not finished the request (ie two CR/LF combinations).
Once you specify the/?ABCDEFGH as a HTTP/1.1 GET request their server lets you to send client headers, anmd correctly returns the "Redirect" page.

It's all about $$$.. Not about open source.

So they integrated a "Readability" feature into the browser.. So what.. I've been using this for quite a while as a bookmarklet in Firefox..

Works great and does (nearly) the same thing.. (It doesn't pull in multiple page articles.)
Actually, the PS2 has no more games being developed for it. I was actually in a Gamestop a month ago and there were only like 5 games in the pipeline before the EOL of new games to the PS2.

they let them into their Front page extensions.

At $1.3billion they could sell it for spare parts and make a ton of money.
