"The Berkeley Lab twice signaled price increases that triggered reductions in the buildings' energy use"
What I wonder is what the reduction consists of? Are we really staring at rolling blackouts, or are they just cutting off 100 rpm from cooling systems? Are they shutting out the lights in the men's room or dimming lights by 0.5%?
PLEASE tell us where we can get these PHP scripts and the accompanying mySQL schema. And any glue or config files explaining how this runs.
I didn't see any references to ClamAV in here, but since its integration with SA is documented in other places, that can be an afterthought.
When you run your own mail server, it's easy to trump Google, Yahoo and MSN's recent multi-GB offerings. Wonder if they can top my 100GB mail account. Not that I've ever gotten more than 1GB mail worth reading in my almost 20 year history of using email.
Actually, open relays are more common than you think. Many of those computers infected with viruses that carry their own smtpd are just waiting to forward some mail. Check out the recent Slashot story about how companies like Send-Safe.com operate with lists of email addresses and lists of known open relays. Can there be any doubt that these virus writers are being paid by spam houses, or even working under the same roof?
Sorry, no XBox 2 for me. I'll wait right before the release of XBox 2 and pick up an XBox 1 at the price drop likely to be at $150.
Maybe I won't be able to play the newest snazziest games, but I have quite a collection that I already play repeatedly, and Blockbuster is always willing to rent me the one I don't have.
I don't consider "Punch the kangaroo for a free web cam taking up 1/3 of the page" being a significant contribution to web publishing. The Macromedia Contribute article required you to click "Next Page" every three sentences, which I'm sure was a great way to maximize eyeballs per page of advertisements. No thanks, I'll pass.
This is stupid. The Xbox 1 platform is just maturing and being accepted now that it is at a sweet price. I have no plans on jumping onto an XBox 2, especially since Halo 2 will be coming out for XBox 1. I have no reason to switch! Especially considering they are going to want money from me to do it. I already ponied up for the one I have now. Well, OK, actually I won it, but I still paid for all the extra controllers and XBox Live subscription.
I'm convinced that 90% of the work going on in open-source is wheel-spinning crap like this. Folks, the desktop has been created and is very useful as it is. Let's innovate some apps that can actually threaten the standing of MSFT and friends instead of retooling themes and icons on a daily basis. Anything else deserves to be stopped out of existence.
Gee I hope that guy in India that takes my job appreciates how my hard earned work paid for the taxes that funded the code that's letting him do his job cheaper (albeit, much crappier) than I can.
Does no one really see anything wrong with this? There are people in the US without jobs who would love to get what these folks in India are being paid to do that same job. Can't we give it to them? It's not like we're getting good quality work from these overseas shops. Follow the JetBlue philosophy for tech support and set people up at home with SIP phones if you want to save the gargantuan costs of physical plants and network infrastructures. But, please keep things home-spun.
The trick comes in how you meter sysadmin headcount vs the different dimensions of employee headcount and services per employee and systems per employee. Many companies are trying to skate around that issue these days, shrinking sysadmin staff to the breaking point. On the other hand, if they invested in just a bit more sysadmin staff, that extra staff might just be able to enable further productivity in the other employees, rather than the insane juggling act that is going on now in some shops. No doubt this lack of sysadmin efficiency is hampering the departments that they server. Can't take the infrastructure for granted since it's one of the foundations that companies are built on these days.
Sounds like they were going for something sounding like "Simple" to show that it wasn't meant to do much. Simpron would have been too dead a giveaway that you should not want this.
Another produce where they will refuse to replace the power unit under warranty. So if my home loses power, they will refuse to to replace the grid. Greedy bastards!
If we are running banks, governments, aircraft controllers and power plants with WinXP systems connected to the Internet, we are a truly stupid people and are asking for a major spanking.
Of course it affects me indirectly, but by effectively sentencing all those systems to death, it will not affect me for long. Otherwise, they will affect me indefinitely, since that is happening NOW.
Nice jump out of left field with the tornado thing, though.
Don't care. I use Mozilla and it accurately filters 99.99% of it into a spam bucket. Eventually someone will write a killer virus that will wipe the hard drives of people foolish enough to pirate and the spam zombie problem will be taken care of. At least until the next day when someone clicks on an email that disables the firewall as well as the antivirus and we play the same game all over again.
Actually, these systems have spheres of influence based on where they plug in. I could care less about this since it will not affect our corporate network. If any company is using pirated versions for their employees they deserve what they get. There is no reason to aid these people in their piracy and the hope is that eventually their systems will fall prey to a virus and stop working, making those pirated keys useless. On out network, everyone will get XP2 with the firewal enabled. It is less intrusive than other software firewall products, and we recommend it in conjunction with hardware firewalls for home use.
To put it as short as possible, I say that line because I've lived that line and came out ahead. If you start out with that defeatist attitude, you were never really pushing 100% and reality won.
Tell me this. If children aren't allowed to make important consenting decisions until they have become old enough, why is it that we allow "legions of people with diplomas and degrees who cannot write a cogent and grammatically correct essay, or add two fractions, or tell you the names of all the states in the union -- much less make informed decisions about what security measures to take when using computers and which software to use" to do so, which puts them at risk of making those financial mistakes early in life that spiral out of control?
I understand that the rich need their poor in order for the economic engine to turn, but that bottom is a mad scramble to avoid being on the very bottom and being a defeatist just gets your face stepped on by someone who really wants to get to the top. And bringing that social engine to a halt with socialism just isn't real at all. Sorry for your troubles, but I dealt with mine.
At any rate, to stay on point, don't use free services for critical things in your life.
Using Outlook Express is free and is not POP mail access, but HTML mail access. All you need is to do a copy to another folder and the mail is then in two places, which should be good enough for most people.

Someone played a hoax on Slashdot the other day with this link.

So that's what all those pipes were for in "Brazil".

Cripes, I thought they were still $189 for new and $159 for used/refurbished. Away I go to pick up an XBox + Halo along with one of these.
For a complete VoIP Linux solution, check out Asterisk.

Never underestimate the power of a little FUD. If California legislators have been bamboozled by it, so can some buzzword eating execs at ISPs.

What about the coding done on weekdays? =)

Mozilla has that same feature when you add the Adblock mod from http://www.mozdev.org.
Better yet, XP2 disables the pirated versions of WinXP!
