Many ISP's see ACL's as processing overhead on their border routers. Most of this may be due to badly designed ACL's. Reserved addresses (such as the 10.x.x.x,...,192.168.x.x and any hosts from within the network should be blocked ( it is unlikely that traffic coming into your network should have an ip from within your network as it's source ip) We had some high processor utilisation on our border router and after looking at our ACL's, have reduced the utiliztion by 30%. Quality not Quantity is the key.
I suppose this is just bait for AMD to release some new processor to beat this Intel realease. Maybe Intel is hoping that sooner or later AMD is going to screw up. I wont be changing from AMD any time soon.
Here in Australia it has only been out for a week or so, but no one has been raving about it. I suppose when you have to compete against X-Men being at the cinema at the same time, what are the kids going to watch? I haven't seen it yet, and probably wont, as the shorts did not really interest me that much.
Many years ago the Russians had the 'WaterBird', a plane that skimmed the surface of the water. Supposedly on calm days it could go supersonic as well. In rough conditions the torpedoe type design of this vessel would allow travel while the 'WaterBird' would not.
It would be nice to see one joint effort to produce a decent productivity suite for Linux. I hope that StarOffice can be used as the base, and features which aren't currently in the product can be taken from products which aren't as mature. I use GnuCash to see how it stacks up against Quicken (which I use also). It has almost all the features I require, but it is so dependent on GNOME.
Saskatchewan is a little different to Australia. Canada only has to have a small length of fibre to get to most places. Australia needs 20,000 kms of deep sea fibre to get anywhere that has decent content.
As an Australian, allowing streaming media does not mean much. We only have 4 major television networks, and most of our commercial radio stations are run by two or three large broadcasters. The big fear by the government is that when we roll out HDTV, the broadcasters that currently control all of our media, whether it be TV, radio or print, will not be too happy when any person can set up as a media broadcaster. I am sure that this loophole will be filled in before HDTV really hits our shores. As for the evolution of our high bandwith internet links, well, we have monopolies there too, but the biggest stumbling block for providing those sort of links is that we have a country, with the same area as the US, with 1/25th the population. Some things just do not add up.
Microsoft will more than likely speed up the process of porting its suite of Office applications to Linux. The talk of such a project has been in the rumour mills for some time. I do not see StarOffice competing at all with MS Office on the Win32 platform, but Linux is were MS would love to upset the balance of nature.
Pascal is one of those languages that is great for teaching the basics of programming. The computing science department at the university that I work at (www.computing.edu.au) has switched from Pascal as its first introduction to programming and design. they have decided that Java is a good start. As the school is very much a UNIX based school, this is the sort of project that they could really sink their teeth into.
Pixar and Diney have done so much work together before this is no surprise at all. Apple have a fantastic platform with the G4. Project Appleseed (http://exodus.physics.ucla.edu/appleseed/applesee d.html)has shown us that clustered G4's can make one heck of a supercomputer. Roll on Toy Story 3.
Novell and Microsoft are every closed in how they do things. This seems like one time when being closed is good. It seems that Linux has become very fragmented when a hardware device cannot be supported by any flavour of Linux. Instead of making devices Redhat Ready or SUSE certified, device support commonality is something all Linux vendors should work hard towards. This would also make people decide on a flavour of Linux based on how secure it is, or how well it installs, rather than what specific device support it has. Make devices Linux flavour independent.
I am surprised that the Russians have managed to build this. I am also worried about the quality of the component. Mir is testament to the fact that Russians making something on a small budget does not work too well. I am sure that NASA would have given a thorough test before launch
It is amazing how M$ take some half decent ideas and botch them up. It is almost like running the 100m dash, but stopping at the 80m mark, because you were in front when you got there first.
I am surprised that no one has started up a 'Cyber Academy'. People subscribe to the site and become members of the Academy. Once a year a poll is conducted of all films, great and small and members vote on the films. This would allow small independent films to peer with the big blockbusters. It may not be given a lot of respect to start with, but who knows how mush it could receive in the years to come. I am sure the Oscars would have gone through the same pain many, many, many years ago.
I can see a looming battle between the mining magnates and the bottled water companies over who gets to tear Mars apart first. I can see the slogans now 'Made with Martian Water - half the gravity, half the calories'
If you laced a few cheese balls with some of this gene therapy, maybe the mice in my house will move out. They will quickly learn that the house is not fit for any animal, human or rodent.

Still no word on interoperability.

How does this engine compare to other template environments, like webmacro, Novell's Internet Template Engine and others?
Distibuted.net client, and COSM would be good candidates for this sort of hardware.

I wonder how long until we have the first bipolar computer.

I just hope they keep those informative red boxes in AmigaOS. I must say, they do provide a great platform for learning 68000 assembler.
