The thing is, they aren't using this for straight up performance benchmarks.
What they are doing is conceding to the fact that many companies use a few linux servers on the backend, and wherever else.
They are letting companies come in and setup their whole network, including their linux servers, and see how they can improve the windows aspect of it.
The result of course is that companies that run Microsoft + something else are able to still remain on their setups, which otherwise may go to something else.
Maybe MS will try to prove that their products are better there also, but, that's now that this is all about. It's about trying to help out their existing customers with their existing setups (customers not MS's).
But google doesn't spider all of your pages all the time. And plus it may just throw the page up, and give the cache anyhow, since the page is "down". Semi archives it for you wether you like it or not.
I believe slashdot does this, at least there is an option to do it. Granted they do give you a warning, and I don't believe the normal login uses this.
When an artist signs with a distribution point, etc, they may lose their own music. As a musician that would seem horrible, but it happens to many different people (animators, etc).
Maybe the contract with "The Orchard" had certain terms. We really would need to see that to get both sides of the story here...
Maybe they "sold out" and now just don't want to look like "crap" music.
On any high drain devices (read electronics) get a few sets of NiMH batteries.
This is especially true if you have a digital camera. Rayovac, energizer and the likes are all putting the batteries out in supply.
Thomas Distributing sells some MAHA chargers and batteries. The best batteries currently are PowerEx's at 2200Mah. The normal ones you buy in the store are around 1800, that means in actual use about a 10% gain.
The best thing is the charger is very versatile. My MAHA charger came with a car adapter, and a wall adapter. Plus got a European wall adapter for my recent trip to Europe, worked like a charm.
I think all companies have large amounts of failures, or actually one big one.
The thing is they don't want it to look bad, so they don't cut their losses, but keep throwing money into it, hoping it will catch on. When it doesn't they lose even more.
I think it's expected that things won't catch on, and some things just sounded better than they actually were.
What does this say for their prized "Microsoft Innovation" however.
I can certainly see a 3 Dimensional printer being available, and transferring models, etc very easily.
The problem is, I can't see an electric motor working. Unless it winds it, makes the bushings, and the springs just so, it's not going to work.
I mean if this kind of thing was remotely feasible, we'd have everything built like this instead of how we do it now. Then again, maybe that's the revolution, and why it's so insightful:).
I thought the DRM in WMP was all smoke, and that using some Dev tools provided by Microsoft, you can easily grab a lossy stream (and possibly a lossless one using more advanced techniques) of any DRM file.
If I was a business, I would definitely make sure that my files were protected going out there...then again they don't care, they just want the money at first, then they get real greedy.
I'm all for it, but what happens if a group gets out of hand and starts thrasing property, wether it be in a store, or some public place.
I guess I wouldn't want it to get out of hand, and maybe have something like that happen. Especially since there will be all kinds of people that know about it now (well, more than before anyhow), so you'll always attract a certain bad subset. Like slashdot in trolls, it's unavoidable.
What's awesome about the author (Dr. John Graham-Cumming) is that he not only knows his stuff, but he puts it out in his open source software called PopFile written in Python.
MN has generally been pretty awesome with their parks.
I'm a resident of the Twin Cities, and for those of you who know what Disc Golfing is, Minnesota Parks Department has aprox. 21 courses in their different parks, all setup and maintained. They are generally setup very nice.
I'm suprised they aren't more open to this kind of thing also....like it's stated, it's not really hurting anyone...
What really sucks, I just signed one with my company, and it was pretty broad. I've already been there for 1.5 years, however they just send out emails now asking everyone to sign these for ISO certification. I should have not signed it, but then you're looking at losing a job.
Becuase of this now, I basically can't work for any company who provides software via download or any company who sells something online. Which is insanely broad, and this is for a period of 1 year after employment is ended.
Sure I could have told them to stick it...but I need the job...so I get shafted...it sucks..I bet many other people are in this position.
The only problem I can see with this...is that the security strips actually have the dollar amount written on them, and when the bill is exposed to UV light, the paper itself has UV watermarking that has the bill amount...but for the average clerk they wouldn't notice it right away...
The way I see it, if you guys are worried about people using DRM to hinder people using this...I don't get it. If you're worried about it, play/use it in a normal CD-ROM drive, sure they could add functionality to prevent that...but at least you wouldn't have to be worried about it writing it to it. Plus you'd have to own a cd-rw drive to use it, and most everyone does, but still....
My car ('97 Grand Prix) has this system built in. However it has nothing to do with detecting the actual tires it self. It senses the normal (read: average) height of the shock, when it goes low, the "Check Tire Pressure" light comes on. Saved me a few times. Works great!
Spam, deal with it or stop it?

ISP Chief on Spam

I think the problem right now is that everyone is focusing on just sorting it out after they receive it. So that the end user doesn't have to worry about this. Most people probably use some sort of this protection, I currently use Popfile, check it out at http://popfile.sourceforge.net. Open Source written in perl, naive bayesian spam filtering, works great. However we do need to somehow make it for we don't even have to sort this crap. An authenticated SMTP server, or something of the likes, a new standard could fix things, or at least help a ton.
While I agree that cloudmark and it's p2p attack on spam isn't the best, and a bayesian (spelling?) method may be a lot better.
I currently use Cloudmark, and since I own about 9 domains, and a few that catch a lot of different email addresses, I tend to get a lot of spam (well, only about 10 a day to the one account, about 30 to the catch all account), Cloudmark has caught every one except 1 I believe. For having a serious flaw, it works pretty good. I believe it takes a hash and then the hash of the emails are compared, so if the hash was loose enough, the random characters should not affect it. Then again I could be totally wrong in how it works.
Google has been know to have issues due to how it ranks pages already. Say your name is ChickenButt, and people link it as that, it won't get many hits, but if you link it as two seperate words, it associates those words with your site, so then you'll get hits on the site. I think they'll have more stuff in the future for ranking, but I think it works decent.
And the scary part about that is....I have my original loom CD and weave's (or wahtever they were called) book right next to me here....hmmm...this post and comments are making me remember the great games..and I have all the CD's right here..woo hoo!
Well, it's for download. France requires us to charge it...so we automatically tack the 15% or whatever it is on top...becuase we're going to get charged it anyhow.
I work for a very large e-commerce company and right now we are forced to charge VAT in France as of Sept 15th of last year. Even on downloadable products...this will just piss europeans off even more. It all depends on where you live and where it's downloading from...

Yes it should work exactly like this.

We now see the real problem.
When an artist signs with a distribution point, etc, they may lose their own music. As a musician that would seem horrible, but it happens to many different people (animators, etc).
Maybe the contract with "The Orchard" had certain terms. We really would need to see that to get both sides of the story here...

I guess I missed the point. :)
I can see it already, people with Darwin Fish on their cars, with a poetic bumper sticker....
I thought the DRM in WMP was all smoke, and that using some Dev tools provided by Microsoft, you can easily grab a lossy stream (and possibly a lossless one using more advanced techniques) of any DRM file.

I was just thinking of this the other day.
I, probably like many others out there, have a router which enables NAT.
The ISP account is under my name, with my information. So if my roommate downloads something, he could get me in trouble...which isn't good.
Sure I guess I'm supposed to be responsible for that, but, it's like me making sure he doesn't electrocute himself...since that's in my name also.
Bad Analogy, but I think you get the idea.
I'm all for it, but what happens if a group gets out of hand and starts thrasing property, wether it be in a store, or some public place.

PopFile can be located at http://popfile.sourceforge.net.
I am currently using PopFile, with an accuracy of 98.26% from nearly 8,000 messages. It's the best I've ever used, and it's free!

CIA, FBI, NSA are all also on the East Coast...although I doubt they would be wondering who to go for..for security.
