If the isp is only responsible for the leased line and routing and the customer is responsible for the server and content then the customer gets charged for the bandwidth. If the isp is responsible for the server (say they provide the web space for my companies page) then they should eat the cost due to the improper management of the server. I would even go so far as to say that any customer that fails to have their server properly maintained and patched should also have a penalty fee. Ultimately the isp has to deal with the bandwidth usage.
heat tubes are a laptop technology that have been around for a while and are well proven. Given that desktops have more room, heat pipes are a great solution. lets face it heatsink design may have gotten artfull but you can only accomplish so much with copper, fins and fans.
Is it really the FCC's problem? It was argued successfully in front of a fcc hearing a while back (as covered by slashdot) that there is an infinate spectrum of frequencies. This pantamount to traditional FCC approach to frequency allocation which is "there is a finite amount of frequency available". The truth of the matter is that the technology is not there for us to differentiate the signals.
As indicated over recent policy moves by the FCC they do understand that. More importantly they are making policies so that the industry/technology is pushed in the right direction. In terms of broadcasting there as not been a major revolution in technology in many years. sure they have moved from vacum tubes to solid state technology and satalites and so forth, but basic origin of transmission is still relatively the same as it was 50 years ago. Very analogue.
The issues at hand are the same for any major technology advancement that is overtaking an industry. All of the early adoption issues are present here. They are having to relearn broadcasting because the notions and concepts that have worked for eons have been turned upside down. New issues are becoming apparent every day. Analogue broadcasters are suddenly aware of how inaccurate and unprotected their technology is. Just as in the computer industry, how well someone can implement the technology (old or new) can mean success or failure.
Bottom line, it allways comes down to economies of scale. Those with can do a better job than those without. Due to the bold new territory envisioned by technolgiest, the fcc, and others there is an economic impact. Some forseen and some not as evidenced by the lawsuits mentioned in the article.
FCC to blame? not hardly. Do they share responsiblity...definately. .
Millennium got it right from the consumer perspective, but the company I support uses a ton of java. Yes JVM is installed as well as the newest version of java for windows from Sun is installed as well. Many corporations have adopted java for both internal and external use. this will provide many weeks of headaches while java programmers come to terms with the impact that this will have. I for one am rolling out about 20 new pc's (win2k) for the java testing due to performance issue with win95/98/me. Personally I would take a perl or cgi script over ms or java any day.
A number of years ago I bought my first pc due to the college's lack of virus protect causing loss of data. Since then I have gone on to work on the corporate world in the IT field. We had mandatory scans of each system and vshield installed on the pc's. that alone wasnt enough. As the nature of viri evolved so did are efforts. we use the lates mcaffee to protect the pc's at user level, netshield to scan the servers, virus protection for the exchange and notes servers to scan all email, and viruswall which is a firewall with dedicated virusscanning purpose (trend-micro). 2 points to make...1)that anyone who plugs in the networks is subject to that networks policies for each others protection. 2)it takes more than one approach to secure an enterprise network from attack.
The company that I work for has an enterprise liscence aggreement for ghost as well as for most of M$ products. To the best of my knowledge we never paid twice because of cloning. In fact it was not until about 1 year ago that microsoft acknowledged the fact that people were cloning systems. That is when they released their sys prep tool. reality meets paper...errr ms marketing dept.
