...except that the Govt. can already monitor e-mail (with Carnivore), phone conversations (with Echelon) and snail mail. So basically they need to whip up some way of controlling IRC as well
Sun and AOL will officially conclude their original Alliance agreement on 17 March 2002. iPlanet is now a division of Sun and remains a core component of Sun[tm] Open Net Environment (Sun ONE).
and some of your applications have dialog boxes that need clicking
Assuming that these are server systems, no one would be logged in to the console running apps that required "clicking" to shut down the box. You are approaching this with a workstation mindset.
Most Pocket PCs and the old Palmsize PCs have a watch battery for backup. My Casio E-100 (Palmsize PC running Windows CE 2.11) has one (good old CR2032).
I agree. The other thing to do then is create a database of all your servernames with additional descriptive info about the server, such as location, function, who it is allocated to, etc. If you try to stuff all that info into a short name with a bunch of abreviations, it is going to become useless anyway.
Comicbook character names and so-forth are fun, but can be seen as unprofessional by some, and possibly even offensive in some cases.
OS, Software, Gaming systems, PDA.. How many cookie jars does the fat kid need on his counter-top.
You're kidding, right? Look at the lines of business Sony Corp. of America is into. They make TVs, stereos, computers, PDAs, game consoles, motion pictures, DVDs, Music CDs, etc. Look at Nestle USA. Dog food, cat food, chocolate bars, coffee, frozen dinners, blah, blah, blah. All under different labels. I'm sure there are many other large companies that are very diversified. I just don't have the time or inclination to look them all up.

Maybe I am reading into the article a little bit, but I think what he is talking about is a protocol that would do something similar to what you are talking about. Sure, you could write an application that makes an RPC call over HTTP and then the "server" responds by making an RPC call back to the "client". But having that happen at the protocol level, and having it be an accepted standard would be a lot better for interoperability between various platforms and languages. SOAP is limited by the protocol it is running on top of. When you make a call over HTTP, the response is sent back through the same connection.
It costs a telemarketer virtually nothing to have you hang up, but a noticable amount if you dick them around for quarter of an hour before telling them to piss off.
That's fine, but then I waste 15 minutes for every telemarketer that calls. I don't know about anyone else, but I have better things to do than dick around with telemarketers for 15 minutes a pop.
The Royal Engineers came up with a rocket powered harpoon with a length of detcord that they used to clear lanes in the Gulf War.
Not sure who came up with that, but we (US Marine Corps, I MEF, 7th Engineering Btn., "C" Co.), had them in the Gulf also. We called them "Line Charges". They were pretty cool, just a little trailer you pulled around. The ones we had looked like they had been around for a while, so I don't think they were anything too new.
The tanks I saw with the mine plows weren't M1s they were M60s. Makes sense, why waste an M1 on such a task. Those plows don't always work the best though. I saw an M60 stuck in the middle of a minefield after it had thrown a track, which I believe was caused by a mine that was "missed" by the plow. Yikes!
The funny thing was, the mines we were sent to clear on the border of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were all just laid out in nice rows on TOP of the sand. With no booby traps. You could really just walk out there and pick them up by hand. We were given a "class" on how to disarm the mines right there in the field!
As for other mine removal equipment, I saw some weird stuff. I was a heavy equipment operator and I went to this kind of "show" before we got sent further north to clear the mines. They were still coming up with ways to clear the mines and one thing was an armored bulldozer with the blade removed and in its place was a big hydraulically operated roller. It had chains attached to it with big metal weights on the end that flailed against the ground as the roller spun. The idea was to detonate the mines out in front of the vehicle. My fellow marines and I decided we would not want to be operating that deathtrap. Luckily we never had to.
Any application can "make API calls to" (I think the better term is "automate") Messenger. I have written VB apps to do it. It is similar to the way you can fire up an instance of Word or Excel from a VB app and create a document programmatically. Nothing really to do with whether it is integrated into the OS or any other application.
I'm not sure, but I think the keyword UNSAFE is required by the compiler in order for it to even compile sections of code with pointers, etc. So I don't think it is just for marking where you think you have unsafe code, I think it is to inform the compiler that you know the code is "UNSAFE" and to go ahead and compile it anyway. I'm not much of a C/C++ programmer, so I don't use the UNSAFE keyword in C#, so I could be wrong.
I don't think he is talking about downloading a beta copy from a company's website. He's talking about the kind of beta testing program where the company expects you to take an active role in the test, and where they pick and choose the participants. When I was involved in formal beta testing like that we usually received at least one license for the finished product. The best part of it in my opinion was seeing some of my suggestions in the finished product.

What is your source for this information? Just curious.
XP Professional does the same thing.
Oh Yes, USB and PCI are so "bleeding edge".
All they need to do to monitor IRC is login...
Yeah, OK, and I'm sure nobody copied any of the MP3s to CD and took them home...
No, it won't. However, these stories just aren't funny.
Not anymore!

It's HKEY_DYN_DATA. I was unable to open it using regedit, and it doesn't even show up in regedt32.
Why would RPM's be more correct? What is the apostrophe for?
It was just recently "officially announced" at CeBIT.

Now THAT is a good idea! I have 2!

According to this story, Ericsson will be going with MS instead of Symbian for their phones.

There are many reasons why someone may not be able to carry a child, some of which have nothing whatsoever to do with genetics.
