Uhhh, no. This was a great idea killed for being great. First the letters demanding you stop using thier "unlimited" service, now this. Glad I cancelled with the first round of letters. The music industry is glad to see this service go away. It was an embarrisment to them. How are they going to sell everyone DRM, non-mp3 music to the masses when this service is sitting here mocking everything they are crying about?
All of which means nothing if the end user is annoyed by the lack of speed of your application, or in Java version hell because your Java app won't work with the mandatory Java version of another app.
My car, computer, and a whole range of electronic devices seem to work fine with all this other stuff around.
Maybe they should do some relieable testing rather than blame a convienent scapegoat. What would scare you more, the fact that these devices MIGHT be interferring or the fact that the airlines don't seem to want to find out for sure? Imagine if testing comes back negative. Then what?
Are the coders being asked to do the wrong thing? No. The CEO and lawyers of the company are doing the wrong thing. The coders have no say in the matter. Have you renouced your citizenship and left the country every time your government did something you disagreed with?
But there hasn't been any new releases. That is what has me skeptical. If this was because ATI released their latest gee-wiz card, I wouldn't have so much trouble beliving it.
But yes, you are very right. It is good to be a gamer today.:-)
Sure, whatever you want to believe. Nvidia and ATI cards have been running neck and neck for a couple of years now and all of a sudden at an ATI event the ATI card has twice the framerates? Color me skeptical.
The capsules hit the water at a higher speed than 15MPH. I believe it is around 30MPH. So you can end your flight with a vertical landing slightly bumpier than your average jetliner, or you can get into an head-on 30MPH crash. Now imagine you are trying to bring back satillites or other equipment from space. How will they react to a 30MPH crash?
Outland is no where near as good as BC because it doesn't have any fire. BC gave us Milo for backbone and Steve Dallas as a strawman. The characters all worked well against each other. Outland lack that.
Its a SHUTTLE, not a spacefaring craft. The point of the shuttle is to get into orbit and come back safely and reliably. How you you rather land back on Earth: parachuting into the ocean or landing smoothly like an airplane? The shuttle may not be the end all, be all for payload but it is a very good way to get HUMANS into and back from space. NASA invisioned taking a shuttle to a space station and from there boarding a SPACECRAFT to travel to the Moon or Mars or whatever.
My point is that if someone already has access to a document on your network, they can comprimise that information. DRM won't stop that. Better to lock 'em down with NTFS and be done with it.
That's fine until a BIG customer like say, Ford or GM start using this stuff. Think they'll change or resend? Nope. They'll just cut your contract and give their business to someone who will listen to them. What Open Office needs is someone like Ford or GM to switch to it, and force a trickle down effect. So if your local 800lb gorilla switches, then look for most of the businesses in your area to switch.
. Personally, I see this being used in corporate law departments and in R&D divisions, where the ability to lock people out of something even if they do have possession of it would be invaluable.
And if his punishment is harsh, so what? If he's found guilty, he's a criminal.
Remember that when you jaywalk, litter, or get caught speeding. Instead of a ticket, why don't we thow you in Federal prison? You're a criminal, you got caught, why should anybody be concerned that the punishment is harsh? The problem is that people like you don't understand that punishment is supposed to be measured against the crime. This kid just made minor changes to an existing virus. Sure, there should be concequences, but the original writer deserves more. This kid that got caught is the equivilent of a petty thief. The original writer is the equivilent of a low level mob soldier. Both desirve punshment under the law, but one would appear to desirve a couple of months in county, the other a couple of years.
OH, no! We CANNOT blame American management! Those MBAs can't possibly be WRONG! Hold someone, an actually human being, accountable?? But, but they're college educated!!!? I mean, they're MANAGEMENT. They have to know better than the technical people, right?

I wish onto Java a cold, pale death.
And didn't he get a nasty case of Cancer for his efforts?
Jesus. That's it. I'm deploying Windows now. Damn OSS projects constantly in need of security patching! Brought to you by the Pot and Kettle company.

So are you really going to argue that 30mph to zero in a second is really less jarring than stopping 200 Mph on a horizontal surface over a minute?
You mean like a 747?

What I don't understand is why he is going back to newspaper. He could go online and completely do his own thing.
I couldn't agree more. Where the hell is Milo? You'd think there would be a VH1 special on him now.
Good Evening Mr. President. Shall we dust Moscow?
Think manned spaceflight. Landing like a plane is mighty attractive.

You mean like NTFS permissions?
Depends on intent.

The sad thing is they'll fail to catch the original Blaster author so they'll throw the book at this kid for the whole Blaster thing.
That's great until someone decides to take your name on several different newsgroups, websites, etc. Interesting way to trash your real reputation.
