So how many times can I reboot in.8 seconds and still maintain 99.99999%? Or rather, why don't you just cluster your services and reboot the individual servers whenever you want?
As a State government webmaster, I've been expressly asked NOT to publish information that one of our departments has...
How to obtain a permit for explosives.
Can a person obtain that information by calling us on the phone? yes.
But by making the information hard enough to obtain, you're hopefully reducing the number of people you don't want to have that kind of power.
I've been a 'victim' of identity theft. An analysis of _that_ occurance determined that all the other person had was my name and SSN. They could get that if they worked for my Doctor, Life insurance Company, Workplace, Bank, or a miriad of other places that have FullName and SSN as fields in a database.
Most likely it did not stem from my internet usage.
I don't know what the solution is, but I can tell you it's not an 'internet only' phenomena.
Yes, but available and 'in use' are two different things. If I encode to mp3, I don't have to re-encode to use it in any of my devices. Until OGG is in each device I encounter, without additional effort on my part, I'm not going to use it.
And there are more of 'me' than there are of 'you' WRT the above behavior.
Lets see. MP3 plays in:
Media Player, Winamp, My CD player, my iPAQ, some cellphones, Real player on multiple platforms, Sony's Clie, and bunches of solid state portables....
Ogg Vorbis plays on:
Ogg Vorbis won't usurp MP3 because MP3 is already PERVASIVE.
Just because us geeks say it's open source, doesn't mean that Mazda gives a crap about it. (with their MP3 econocar...guess what it plays and what it DOESN'T)
More than 'Geek gamers are better, faster, stronger cooler', it demonstrates how a person can reach a competence level where he/she 'knows' how to do something well, rather than 'bending' the mind/body to do it.
I dunno 'bout you folk, but Need for Speed has GREATLY improved my racing performance in the Real World(tm).
All things considered, the frequency with which the number of 'colors' that can be transmitted on a given strand of fiber is doubling, the lit fiber we're using today is probably all the lit fiber we'll ever need.
Spend more time getting it to the home? I doubt that. There's very little that the home user needs that kinda bandwidth for. At least not until there's some profit in running the fiber there and charging $3 a PPV movie.
So you can't have a mispelling, but you CAN have a whitehouse.com instead of a whitehouse.gov? (why bother hyperlinking the second?)
I fail to see the distinction.
I don't know about you, but my years working a bad job for a pittance to a
corporate giant (rhymes with Cheeza Butt) taught me to save money, show up for
work on time, have a little professional responsibility, and learn that not all
work is fun or easy.
There needs to be plenty of different kinds of workers in a society...Having
too many Chiefs and Not enough Indians is not economically possible. In small
words: There are a few Bill Gates and a BUNCH of fry cooks. I've seen enough
people to know that the successful will be successful, and the others won't.
When they look back on 30 years of 'do you want fries with that', they won't
find one or two decisions that followed that path. Rather, they'll find a whole
series of 'em....or they'll shift the blame. After all, it's The Man that's
keeping the people down!
But for all the Terrible Things(tm) that are occurring, new companies are
still popping up that become VERY popular and VERY successful. Ford didn't
signal the end of the automotive industry, McDonalds didn't signal the end of
the food industry, and M$ won't signal the end of the software industry.
Having a homogeneous food society just makes it easier to make a good,
different product. The best Mexican food I've ever had is run out of a 20 seat
bar that's packed from open to close. They could branch out and make big
dollars, but then they'd lose that small mom and pop guaranteed revenue.
Over the last few years, Technology has leveled it's gun sights on a bunch of
different problems: Electronic publishing, data gathering, information retreival,
Music propagation, telephony, etc. One thing's for sure: What comes about
afterwards isn't pretty, and isn't very profitable, but it's VERY cheap and VERY
efficient. Same thing happened with Fast food and food production. Same thing
with Cars and assembly lines. (Notice how long the resistance to robot assembly
lines lasted?)
I've got four (actually five) PC's at home. One's a P90 running linux, which USED to have Win98 on it. One's a Celeron 550 running Linux that USED to have win98 on it. Another's an Iopener running Win98, call it a transferred licence, and the other's a 1Ghz Athlon running win98/linux. I've _purchased_ two copies of Windows, but have five odd PC's (and a Dead K6-2)
So...I _mustn't_ be compliant as I've purchased six odd computers over the years, but only two copies of a Microsoft OS. hmmm.
(better not tell Intel the Celeron's overclocked...they'll come after me for a value added tax...)
Or, rather, you're not. How does this handle motherboard grounding issues?
I spent a LOT of time hunting down a flaky problem (IDE1 and mouse ports not found) that ended up being an ungrounded support.
When are they gonna make clearcased cdroms, floppy drives, and harddisks too?<Sarcasm> That would be 37337.</Sarcasm>
I'd had a hard time coming up with multi-tasking examples last week...til I started paying attention to them. An ideal example (and one the Clie _can't_ do) was:
-Activesyncing the ipaq via IR on a Nokia 8290
-Perusing webpages using Avantgo
-Taking seminar notes in Word on a Targus keyboard when something interesting came up
-then switching back to the Active sync before it got to AvantGo as I didn't want to spend 40 minutes downloading the pages at 9600 baud.
I dunno about OS 4.0 for the Palm, but Hotsyncing is a 100% use application for all Palm OS devices.
Wince's multitasking is one of the biggest advantages it has over the PalmOS. Especially if, like the Clie, you want to listen to music and do something else.
Reading an ebook, or AvantGoing, while listening to music is something that CAN be done, and therefore IS done on my iPAQ.
Uh, you did NOT '[buy]a higher end Compaq Win CE device' as evididenced by your post.

I guess that's how I went from 14 to -1 in three days....Not that anybody can read this. :(

Ya young whippersnapper! My first box was a _$3200_ XT with a 30 mb harddisk.
Can't afford a new computer. Sheesh. A _$400_ emachine runs rings around my last computer.
And you obviously haven't been around long enough to notice that AMD's been around through a few 'recessions'.
There'll always be room for a 'Pepsi'. The only question I have is: I can't tell if that'd be Intel or AMD...
Whelp, there goes the last of my karma.
And here I thought it was caused by Ultimate Evil, about 4700 years ago, and it's interaction with the fifth element. (Orange hair-dye?)
New powerful CPU and a single-user Multimedia, rampantly multi-threaded operating system with a knack for fitting whereever it's stuffed.
Sounds like a better bet than a Linux pda. {duck}

If it prevents copying as the 'bit for bit' version has code that the player thinks is music but isn't, how does this affect ripping to MP3?
I dunno 'bout you, but I don't often COPY CD to CD. Why would I?
Feh, come back when they've got an IP stack. Then come back when they can hit USENET. :)
Mod this up!

Jump the shark moment. (Dr. Who in Cyberspace? Quick! Alter that ping packet to a legal length!)
Hmm, Microsoft is successful, therefore it's bad.
McDonald's is Successful, therefore it's bad.
Is Success, no, Uber Success a bad thing?

This stuff isn't good or bad...it just is.

With decades of research, exponential increases in computational output and DSP, when do ya suppose voice synthesys will sound like a voice?
(Of course, all I get is silence, and a 500 error.)
Voice/speech as an interface won't be a contenda. Just look at today's helpdesk phone systems as an example:
"Say 1 for calendar, 2 for notes, 3 for games"
"Three"
"I'm thinking of a number"
"Two"
"Incorrect" - - "I was thinking of THREE POINT ONE FOUR ONE FIVE NINE TWO SIX - " "You Have An Appointment"
"When?"
"Not Understood, please repeat"
"When is the Appointment?"
"You have an upcoming appointment. Say 'detail' for information"
"Det-AH CHOO!"
"Appointment deleted"
"Wait! Un..."
"Not Understood. please repeat"
"Un..."
"Not Understood. Pleast repeat"
"Un-ACHOO!!"

I'm really surprised everybody missed out on Travis Latke's Galaxy Quest.
I'm not slow, but when I went back and found it'd been co-opted by Amazon for awhile, I started thinking "Saaaaay, Travis musta turned pro!"
