10 years from now, providers will ask for more subsidies from the government to "chase up to the competition", "once again, put USA on the world map", and "research and develop own equipment" because "China refuses to export advanced technology to USA".
the UK and the US were behind the overthrow of the democratically elected president and replacement with a pro western dictator
That's what I respect about countries with freedom of speech - in particular, the freedom to highlight government's past mistakes without fear.
I've read a little about the Kent State shootings (1970), and all I could think was, the newspapers were allowed to print such news, and I'm allowed to read such history as of 2008. That's freedom.
When will I be reading the wrong things my own government have done?
I think VMware can gain a certain market share by catering to SMEs' needs as well.
1. VMotion between different hardware (e.g. between Intel and AMD CPUs, on very different motherboards).
2. Virtual environment (no need to run multiple guest OSes).
3. Storing VM on networked NAS (not sure if it's already supported).
4. With the above in place, shifting VMs at night onto a few physical servers (with different hardware) so as to save AC bill.
I know (1) and (2) are quite difficult to implement, and even if implemented, guest OS will either run slowly (fully virtualized CPU) or may not react well to the slightly different instruction sets in CPUs.
And of course, like all my requests to Santa, I can keep on dreaming in wonderland...
When water evaporates, it draws heat away from its surroundings. I don't understand why with enough of a downpour, the water won't reach the wildfire's fuel source.
I think in most places drivers license/government ID are now done on plastic cards (not laminated). Getting a color printer for those plastic ID cards will set you back quite a few grand
Just for the sake of argument, I think a consumer CD printer (e.g. Epson R240) can be modified to print onto a piece of rectangle. With the careful use of glossy ink, the end result may fool casual glances.
The only problem, of course, is getting a stack of blank cards that are inkjet printable and looks professional.
sometimes it's not the fact that it's free, it's the fact that's it's available at all.
Well said.
A Slashdot writer recently wrote about one reason why Russians pirate games - due to lack of availability.
Russians read articles about great games, and they felt "I want to play it now! Right now!", and they were even prepared to pay. However, games were released in Russia about 6 months after USA. For some reason, the publishers were not willing to budge. Therefore, the avid Russian gamers were forced to get pirated games. (I think it becomes a vicious cycle - the game market in Russia was rather small.)
IIRC, the person also praised Steam (from a content delivery POV) for making games available worldwide, wherever the user may be. (I think the gamers were willing to endure the DRM in return for the delivery.)
My friend says in South Korean, houses and apartments are frequently advertised with an emphasis on Internet broadband speeds and latency (fixed line).
Due to a respectable demand by home buyers to actually base their decisions with broadband as a major criteria. It appears that a respectable portion of the population are avid gamers.
These are for South Korea. For North Korea, elrous0 (869638)'s viewpoint is quite right.
On a related note, the mobile ban on airplanes were issued by FCC (mobile regulator), not FAA (aircraft safety).
Still, I understand that mobile phone interference can be pretty strong, especially around speakers and CRT monitors, and I don't want to know what happens if those disruptions happen near hospital equipment.
"While the migration process was running, I hugged my fellow female technician tight and kissed her passionately. She reciprocated and we locked ourselves in a passionate embrace. I then grabbed her beautiful flowery blouse and unbuttoned her front quickly, almost ripping her blouse open. She stared at me, took a few breaths, and removed the rest of her blouse from her body. I stared..."
I felt a mix of emotions: disappointed that I wouldn't have the chance to testify and lock horns with the MPAA and other industry lobbyists, and guilty for having such self-centered thoughts during this crisis.
The earliest article I've personally found is the article MPAA vs. 2600 dated May 2001.

I don't like the way I sound - it sounds whiny and flamish. Please mod my previous post down.

I can't find the "database server" reference in TFA.
Anyway, from link in TFA:
"Server Naming Conventions" (March 2002, with 50+ funny posts)
"I Want Names for my Servers!" (October 1999)
I think he's referring to MIDI sockets on his electronic keyboard or sound device.

It boggles my mind. And this one fightens me.

You're sacrificing your mod points just for this.
Thanks. I'm humbled. You're nice. You really are.
The only other instance I remember is this.

So you are the Violet that I've been flirting with in Legend of the Red Dragon!
hen Firefox was still having issues picking a proper name (pre-1.0 days)
I had some friends who used to "ask" me to help them fix their computers - mostly spyware problems.
At least when I installed pre-1.0 Firefox, I could be giving them "the bird".
'No need' for hospital mobile ban (March 2007).

I don't think these minimum security prisoners are the ones we're targeting, are we?

I came in to make this joke, but you guys beat me to it. And you guys made a better joke than I ever could.
Darn, I have to troll harder. And smarter. :)
They won't have a "news for (military) nerds" site called Dot.mil, would they?
The MAFIAA come off as greedy bastards, and fairness is an instinct in all great apes.
It's amazing. I'm reading past articles in Slashdot, and we were already talking about RIAA and MPAA since 8 years ago.
From an article on Sep 11, 2001:
