I really don't see how this helps anyone do these apps ever leave the company that ordered them? Does any of this development allow me to get a better program on my computer? I think not.
Police in this area are among the most anal of anywhere in the world. You can get arrested for littering, spitting, overeating, etc. Not exactly a pleaseant place to live if you are not a very strict person who can control all of his/her outward actions.
Maybe I have been smoking something but it seems to me that most countries in the far flung reagions of the world that are outside the relm of US juristiction are also in relation extremely expensive to do bulk mailing activities from (metered calls per minute)? That really dosn't add up. Maybe if they have unlimited access deals then possibly yes.
Now don't officially quote me on this but I believe I saw just the thing your were looking for before. Either at the internic's ftp site or similar had an early listing of IP addressed and owners. However I believe that now with all sorts of people having ownership of IP addresses and them changing hands quickly I don't think that this will be up to date (probably from 1994 or so).
One of the first things that I thought of was the possibility that the people who are "bounty hunters" may do what people have done in years past when the government ever gave actual bounties of this kind. All you have to do is just either create some of your own spam and then turn in the "user" or just pay people to post spam under fradulent accounts. Bam instant money.
I don't know if you're trying to be funny or what... But the internet is hardly the PC's territory as compared to Playstation games being Sony's territory.
The internet is useful to people because it provides a means to access information. Communications is usually secondary to an actual informational archive. Basically all our lofty ideals are equally similar to the role of the internet as an access medium for information.
The internet is usually the PC's territory because of this role.
The internet existed for years before PC's even existed. Right now, the majority of machines connected to the internet are "PC's", but when the day comes taht everyone's alarm clocks, refridgereators, TV's, coffee makers, refridgerators, and home security systems (Hello, George Orwell!) are all connected to the internet, the PC will be relegated to a much smaller percentage of systems out there.
Despite the wonderful marketing that IBM has tried to do with internet enabled appliances it dosn't seem likely. To have access like that would require mostly 24/7 internet connections. This would also imply that the local loop problem has been solved. Not only has this not been sovled for many regions of the USA but large parts of the former countries in the soviet satellite group.
Not that I'm saying that Sony should be allowed to bar a clean-room reverse engineered title from the market (in fact, I'd think they'ed want to encourage it... Developers need to buy pricey systems from them to develop games, they need to get license SDK's from them, they need to pay them royalties, while sony apparently loses money on each playstation it sells...). I just don't think that anyone should say that the internet is the territory of the PC...
One of the things that gives me the chills is that the possibility of games not optionally using a network interface design but requiring one. This is hardly a sensible idea. I have known many, many people who lived in rural/remote, or politically "exiled" positions who could play console systems but would not have wanted the exposure or the resultant cost for these types of things.
Until people eliminate the problems with the last mile we won't see any solution for this.
Keep walking in that direction and you'll find yourself saying that the internet is in fact the territory of Windows... Which is owned by Microsoft, which would in fact make the internet Microsoft's territory. No... The internet was developed as a heterogenious (sp?) network.
Personal computers are the ideal machine to interface with a network with very diversified goals. It allows for the untimate human interface. Until perhaps we have vioce sensitive screen readers that can access any information in a general search type but be extremely flexible don't expect the PC to dissapear.
PS. This little move to slashdot has basically toasted the DNS that my ISP uses for the slashdot.org IP connection. Is there a way to force the DNS to update perhaps by some query mechanism? Like request a page that would give the DNS a little tap on the shoulder?
The apple commercial for the G4 I believe pointed out the fact that the government of the United States indicated that it came into the realm of a "supercomputer" class machine.
Because of export restrictions on these classes of computers to unfriendly countries the military has at least on paper needed to keep an eye on them.
Really interesting that little comment. The school that I attended used a solaris machine for years for their unix instruction. Finally the sysadmin ditched it and went with Red Hat 6.1. Worked quite well.
Also as I recall doing some window shopping at gap.com bell bottomed trousers were en vouge again.
The mac has stood the test of time quite well. Considering that you say their user base is "kinda screwed". The company still makes money.
What I disaprove of all around is the gereral lack of tact that Microsoft has for customers and the world's populace. Computers and their associated periphrials would be significantly cheaper without addition of windows for people who don't even want it in the first place.
Sir I have checked out your previous posting history and found similar comments in their spirit. Exactly how do you claim industry knowledge of any of your facts. Practices endorced by microsoft seem to indicate that they may be creating artificial demand by increasing "features" such as the dancing paperclip and now the talking weasel (or whatever they have now for their office suite).
Businesses do not require windows products to attain sufficient revenue nor is it totally necessary to be an "industry standard". What should be noted is that from a practical standpoint open specifications and standard file formats that can be converted between applications have fueled adoption of many new technologies and software systems.
If ecconomic success ends empires have a nasty tendency to fall. That is what is rather bad. Technology can impact our lives in small ways but only within the boundaries of what man thinks of as a tool and how he relates to his tools.
If you really look at it my life will never change as long as I think of tools a certain way. I oftentimes think of tools as a power medium and as a means unto themselves. Quite nice.
A very relevent corrolary is with Richard M. Stallman who has some rather interesting ideas about emacs being the focus of a religion (I do have to admit it works quite well although not to the level of a religious experience).
If our progress falls so too does our empire. Humanity could exist but it would be broken, fragmented, and generally not a nice place to live in. A good look at this is in the series The Gunslinger by the author Steven King. He weaves a nice tale about what a potential world would look like when technology and it's advances start to fail. Essentially all people fall into a feudalistic framework and have difficulty in regaining their former power because of a vicious cycle.
What I have found is that even the most obscure platforms usually have some form of application support if you are willing to support someone to develop it for you.
Macs have a number of software titles and also have the ability to emulate intel machines with the software. Also you can run linux on them which is a plus.

Sounds like a good list. What are the details?

Thanks. Are there say a good comparataive list of UPC or other products that can be compared for a lowers price similar to books under ISBN?

I believe it refers to the nature of the rumors because they are so fleeting.
