I second this. A whole site full of "blah blah blah" nice graphics and catchy marketing terms and no clear explanation of wtf this openstack thing is and why should we, the sysadmins, care. I tried to find a working link and I ended up in Rackspace's site, downloading their openstack variation.
the public in general doesn't seem bothered by it.
And why should it. The large majority of the muslims just don't give a shit - like the large majority of the christians didn't give a shit when "Life of Brian" was released in theaters a few decades ago and the far-right protested by shutting down cinemas, burning books etc. The only way for the whole world to escape this religious stupidity that holds us back as a species is through technology and, I'm afraid, consumerism. Just load the middle east with a few million smartphones and tablets and watch them turn into the obedient "I don't give a fuck about god & associates, give me my new ipad" crowd we've all become:-P
I definitely believe criminal activity should be punished but sending in prison a 20-year old for 15 whole fucking years and treating him as if he is a war criminal or serial killer, for simply hacking into a computer of a multi-billion-dollar company (which as it seems didn't care to invest some of it's awfully lot of money in protecting it's customer's data) , is a little too much. Especially when at the same time there are other criminals out there who roam free thanks to their financial status.
Why is the IEEE even asking this question again? The results are going to be basically the same, for basically the same reasons. 1Tbe should be the next jump, and they should get working on it pronto.
Because the companies that make the hardware are going to sell more modules:-P
I can't understand why the author is even mentioning laptops and PCs on this article. First make sure you can utilize the existing 1gbps technology, then see how to implement faster interfaces. Right now the bottleneck at home ethernet is slow hard drives and cheap "gigabit" NICs that underperform.
By inserting the trademark claim into the Facebook user agreement, the company hopes to bolster its standing in lawsuits against sites that incorporate the word 'book.'
What next? Are they going to force these sites owners to make a Facebook account and sign the new user agreement?
You should be more worried if someone uses your WiFi internet connection to do something illegal. Next moment the cops will be raiding your house, seizing all your hard drives for further examination, while you go through all the hell of the legal process attempting to prove that you are not an elephant. No thanks, if a guest wants to access my wifi he should ask for the password and take the extra 30 seconds needed to type it in.
This is another excuse to push tax payer's money into the big wallets. Cyber-security? If you have a system that must not be compromised, then don't connect it to the fucking Internet. And what does NATO run anyway? SNMP on its missile launchers for remote management? *duh*
Uhm, I own a console and play games regularly with my gamepad..Still I prefer the KBM for FPS & RTS games. Could you repeat the reason you were trolling me for?
Although POTS telephony is indeed better in a power failure case, on this occasion i think it has more to do with the provider's infrastructure. If you were to deploy telephony over fiber, that would probably be voip telephony which translates to the cost of an additional SIP-capable (or some other protocol) modem, and a whole shit of infrastructure changes on the provider's backbone like class 5 soft-switches, customer provisioning, personnel training etc, it's a nightmare. And as we all know, if it ain't broken don't fix it
Yes, web search history is disabled by default. So unless you were asking Google to track down your searches, you're safe.......Or you think you are safe, I bet that they keep your search history no matter of your preferences. Probably for "national security" reasons
Anyone who has had a little help-desk experience can already imagine the horrors of having to deal with a specific annoying customer every fucking time he calls for help
The saddest thing about twitter & fb is that they are used by the majority of the teenagers, who in all their enthusiasm to talk-connect-post photos with others and lacking the experience needed to discriminate what one should and what one shouldn't post in the web about himself, they have no sense of the value of privacy. And when they finally "get it" after a few years, it will probably be too late for them
Most of us suspect what the future regarding personal privacy will be like. This tracking system, while at first it sounds like a very convenient way for teachers to easily access their students grades and know their weak and strong points, it is more of "another brick" in a structure that will gradually and - with the aid of other similar tracking systems and laws - eventually evolve in some Orwellian (big brother) system where all your personal history from your earliest years (your school grades, your sociality, your behavior, your political beliefs, your health records etc) will be in a single file for anyone (employers, insurance companies, the law etc) to access.
I don't think they'll ever be "outdated" since they were the pioneers of a whole comedy school (there's even a term, "pythonesque", describing their unique style of humour). And judging from some of their members most recent appearances, they stillgot it.
Agreed. Although with "who cares" I meant that we just shouldn't obey all these irrational laws they vote since most of them are written to either fuck us (the people) or serve some specific financial lobby, or both.

shit that's insane
There's also this report on some electron-generated thermal anomaly on Saturn's moon Tethys
Removing "fallback to Gnome" mode from my desktop. From now on just XFCE.

Windows is without a doubt snappier
This is probably the biggest issue for me (along with the lack of mainstream games)
not to be misunderstood here: this kid should be punished but 15 years is just madness

There's still a long way till they manage to make a game controller that is actually better than the keyboard & mouse combo..
of the nightowl collection cdroms with bbs stuff. Waaaaay more awesome than "firefox" and "libreoffice". Meh!

I have accounts in both hotmail and gmail with about the same "exposure" on the internet and can't say i've seen any difference

Because with bombs, size matters. Like G.Carling once said: "What? They have bigger dicks? BOMB THEM!"
