"despite all claims to the contrary from Microsoft"
For those of us who read the security notice Microsoft released, this is old news because Microsoft spells it out clearly and did so when the patch was first released.
Let him go. If there was anyone qualified as a tourist, Tito is it.
The American's are really throwing up a false smokescreen on the safety issue. None of the Russians has been through the training for the American stuff, they all started at the same point, nothing to prevent Tito following along. Then the rediculousness about being reimbursed for training costs. After $20 million don't they think Tito will be happy to pay a couple of G's? I think this actually is an indicator of just how tenuous the American position is.
The third seat is free on the progress, so this impacts little scientific research, and unfortunatly I suspect tourism is really the future for space, which NASA seems unwilling to accept.
Tito is rich as hell (not many will pay $20 million), has trained for months with the Russians who consider him equal to the task.
Looking of the research they will be doing on the now slimmed down ISS (which removes much of the research components) for the amount of money they are spending practically screams for another business model to get and keep space development and efforts going.
Why no question about the patent issues Akamai has been stirring up with Digital Island. You'd think this would directly impact acadamia and I'd have been interested in hearing the answer from an academic who worked at Akamai.
Anyone with good thoughts? Is there a justification for the Akamai patent rattling, has their fight with digital island been resolved? We were going to go with them for some caching but pulled out because of their patent position. Would love to find out that has become a moot point.
10,000 network nodes that auto configure and geo-route? Sweet, this is what we the people should have had ages ago, though our standard would no doubt have had some fantastically weak encryption so we could all watch Cmdr Taco slowly log onto slashdot using hunt and peck typing.
In seriousness however, I suspect half the reason this is even a possibility is that the military has got reams of spectrum while the commercial sector must pay $18 billion for every little chunk with no assurance that enough chunks will be auctioned off to make it all worthwhile.
The fact that the military, which one has to beleive looks at functionality and performance first rather than price chose a linux based system says a lot. Yeah! Having worked at a company doing embedded programming, Linux has a shot to carve out a niche in the space. Rock on.
Listen, if you are doing ecommerce and requiring SSL certs, you should be able to afford them. It's enough of a barrier to entry that the joblow who won't secure their site properly can't get the stuff set up. He should outsource it instead, and since SSL costs $$$ he does. Not so sure it is black and white.
This is so incredibly cool. I'd be interested in some more details on just how you run a search for a prime number of this type. They didn't just base16 it and go, wow, that was a prime. Tell us more!
I'm not so sure about this. People like to dance and listen to what they are familiar with, something that has been shown repeatedly with radio and their slow song turnover. Advertising/promotion is about convincing you something is better (higher utility) even if it is not.
There is an anology with french fries. McDonalds has done a huge job of getting their french fries everywhere. What is interesting is for folks who've grown up eating those french fries, eating real fresh cut french fries tastes weird, because for them, a french fry tastes like a McDonalds french fry.
Music is more than simply the song, it is the way we connect to it, and good promotional work I think is usually successfull in driving that connection. With DJ's on the radio getting Payola, dj's in clubs are a bit more limited in what they can play. People like to hear what they have already heard.
It should be noted that this is really targeted towards lower end devices. For big screens and powerful desktop systems X is still the way to go. Nice article.
The right to private action with a reasonable penalty ($250) is CRITICAL for an anti-spam bill to be successful. You local district attorny may not be interested in prosecuting, but with a right to private action you can go after them yourself.
So before jumping on the bandwagon, check for the right to private action and a reasonable penalty per email...
The RIAA's role as a "producer" of music is no longer usefull. CD's can be pressed cheaply, and with the advent of MP3's the marginal costs decrease even more. What they still over is promotion, on a huge scale.
Songs don't make it big because they are good, the make it because they are promoted. Technology has addressed everything else the RIAA does, with the promotion piece solved they'd go the way of the Dodo.
Unfortunatly, so far it has been other commercial companies that want to come in and replace them (Napster) which I'm not convinced gains us huge amounts. The infrastructure of music should be free, just as the infrastructure of a computer (OS). What's the next step to make it so?
The demo is down, but the screenshots are still up. Nice to take a gander before downloading everything and gives a sense of what things will look like.

Open: Pan to Principle Skinner with Marge at school, parent/teacher conference is under way.
Skinner: I'm afraid we're going to have to ask Bart to take a semester off school. You see, we've caught him doing so many bad things already, and statistics tell us that means he's doing 10 times as many bad things that we don't catch.
Marge: But that doesn't seem fair, to kick a kid out of school because statistics show he's more likely to do bad things. He may not have done them.
Skinner: Marge, I'm afraid we've got these statistics down to a fine art. Did you know that people with larger shoe sizes tend to do better at math and complex calculous. Statistics can tell you the most amazing things.
Marge: That IS amazing. I just can't bear the that Bart would have to leave school. Tell me, if we could know EVERYTHING that Bart did, then might he stay in school?
Skinner: Sure, that'd be fine, but we have no way of doing that.
Scene Two: Mr. Burns and Homer, nuclear factory.
Homer: Awww Mr Burns, can't you see? Bart won't be able to stay in school unless you threaten to blow up the entire town?
Mr. Burns. Now Homer, that not necessary at all. You see, I know EXACTLY what that little bart simpson is doing at all times.
Homer: You dooo? Hows that?
Mr. Burns: You know that little white cat he's always running around an scanning things with?
Homer: I do!!!
Mr. Burns: We'll look here, we can watch what he's scanning right here.

Babies are not good at solving complex calculus problems, so statistically speaking large show size does equal greater tendency to be able to solve math problems.
The reason I'm posting this is because we tend to debate ad naseum on slashdot. You are preaching to the choir. By actually making these calls we can help insure this stuff doesn't happen in the future.
Let them know that there is a problem with their story. That their story makes it appear their is evidence for falling CD sales, whithout pointing to the fact that CD Singles make up only a percent of sales, and that the far more important catagories have seen increases...
Very good point, some of the real technology they are pouring into Windoes is really good stuff.
.NET *is* cool for example. Their Visual Studio product is quite good. Administering a Window 2000 machine is trivial when compared to a linux server. The point and click, single look and feel integration pays off. I imagine that as their R&D pipeline fills we'll start and continue to see real neat stuff coming out.
That said, we run our servers on linux, for freedom more than anything else.

Nice, I hope you copied and pasted that froms somwhere though.
With all the folks who can't manage to put their money where their mouth is, I'd just consider $9 my contribution to open source.

Thanks, what a nice answer to my question, thanks for taking a moment to type it up.
