From my experience, you feed the user a dynamically generated certificate with your fake CA and the warning is that stupid "This certificate was issued by a an authority you do not trust" message. *EVERYONE* clicks 'ok'. No really, I haven't had a problem with it yet. Most of them report never even seeing the message. Some go so far as to install my fake CA so they never get the warning again.
It will be a long time before we have 20"x24" 300dpi monitors. Until that time, I'll still print my photographs in a darkroom or on a large format printer.
Using the supplied ICC isn't even close to good enough for professional work. Just because Epson intended the scanner to behave a certain way, that doesn't mean his particular scanner is working that way now. Real color management costs lots of money for very specialized hardware. Unfortunately, very few (any?) Linux applications have been written to support the profilers.
Your analogy is a bit off. If you had read the article closer you may have come up with this:
The only cheap car I can buy has 800hp, seats two, and gets 17mpg. I only need to drive to work. Where is the low cost 160hp car that gets 34mpg?
The issue at hand is that power consumption for new machines is way too high. My earliest machine consumed less than 100w for the entire box. Now the processor alone will suck up that much juice.
I do. It's a lot easier to prove that someone is blocking your service than it is to demonstrate that they are degrading data transfers to/from you, especially since it would only result in intermittent outages under load, which the company could plausibly claim as normal behavior.
That isn't a legal difference, it is a difference obfuscation. If you really do see a legal difference, point that out.
a) Well, almost all motorcycles seat more than one.
b) Eh, sorta. You can buy a Ural for around $8000 US. However, they're not the best riding experience. Most sidecar equiped bikes in the US are older BMWs or modified Honda Goldwings. A '94 Goldwing without a side car will easily run you $10k. Add a side car or get a newer bike and the price will really climb.
c) That's a relative statement. It'll go a bit faster than a brand new $12,000 US car, but it wouldn't keep up with a 10 year old Acura Integra. Bikes without sidecars are much faster.
Wow. One spelling mistake and I get a spelling flame. Couldn't you at least try and critique some thing else? Maybe you can find a place where I should have added a comma.
That depends on the employer. If you're going to work for a clothing chain, they probably just want a basic code monkey who can hook-up the modules they already bought. If you work for a company that makes money selling your software, they definately do want you to know and use your science skills. It is the difference between being a resource and being an expense. You'll find the exact same issue with other careers where you can do it right or just get it done.
That's not a factor of it being digital, though, it is the effect of using a small sensor. My argument/complaint is that people attribute these things to it being digital when that has no bearing on the issue. If you ever used a quality 110 format camera (tough to find) you'd notice it had a really high depth of field as well.
How do you figure that a small sensor gives a larger depth of field? Do you think the concept of circles of confusion changes when you move from film to digital? Granted, most digital cameras can't open beyond f/4 and often go full power flash with an f-stop around f/8, but that is a design choice of the manufacturer rather than an intrinsic property of digital sensors.
A lot of people act like the world of photography has dramatically changed because of digital. The truth is, going from sheet to roll film was just a large a change for most of the same reasons. In retrospect, that change was more an evolution than revolution and both technologies are still in use today.
Expect the $100 iPod sometime between when they've sold an iPod to nearly everyone that will pay more than a $100 and a competitor can come close to offering a product with equal sex appeal for less than $150.
There were plenty of good AMD and Cyrix 486 CPUs being used when Intel switched to the Pentium and the successful "Intel Inside" badging. Bonus points to anyone who still has a "Intel Onboard" sticker from the earlier failed marketing attempt. However, users at the time largely only knew they had a 386 or 486. Most of them couldn't tell you who made it without opening the case.
The AMD K5, K6, K6-II, and K6-III were all decent chips, but were nothing more than the "bargain" chip. What gave Intel the real lead over AMD was the combination of several years of the fastest chips being only available from Intel and the public knowing who made their chip.
I don't believe the hard drive has been wasted. Between additional level downloads and custom music tracks almost every game worth playing has made use of the hard drive in a way that the memory cards would have been too small for.
I've owned a console of one type or another since we picked up a Pong set back in '79. While the XBox isn't the revolutionary device the Atari 2600 was, it isn't an Intellivision either.
Rough estimate here, but 4GB of MP3s equates to a little more than 80 average CDs. An unscientific poll of my cousins under 18 shows that one out of ten have more than 80 CDs (either originals or copies from friends). The irony being none of them have $250 to blow on an iPod.
You realize most of the Slashdot audience has never seen Saturday Night Fever. Think they would have sat through his scenes in Pulp Fiction if Stayin Alive was still etched in their brains?
Why? Because you're there. Seriously, saying there isn't anything interesting on your network just shows that you don't know what makes an interesting target. I'm not proud to admit that I've gotten into other people's system just to read their e-mail. If you don't think that's a big deal, just send me your e-mail for the last 7 months so I can forward key bits to your friends and family. Don't forget all those order confirmations from online stores. That's pure gold!
I think fans of the Lecia rangefinders and others would disagree with your opion of SLRs. The SLR design is honestly very good for what it intends to do. It'll be years before an LCD can give as sharp an image as what I get through my viewfinder.
Actually, I use a laptop with a broken battery connector as my server now. It was too expensive to fix and too good to toss out. It does the same tasks as the IT100 except I have a switch connected to it. It is neither loud nor hot.

Seriously, I wish a fewer things had clocks on them. If you really have the urge to constantly know what time it is, buy a watch.

It makes my job so much easier.

Ok, can you enjoy the moaning and light slapping sounds with your computer whining in the background?

The campaign launched with the 486 in 1991 and Intel considers the real pay off to have been in 1993 with the Pentium and then Pentium Pro in '94.

I wouldn't if I were you. ;)
So then where does Pong factor in?

0. Atari 2600, ColecoVision, Intellivision
