Try raising 2 kids and having 2 decent dependable vehicles and a house and keeping food on the table on 100k yourself before you talk trash.. idjit.. If that's the lifestyle you wish to "achieve" then go for it.. I myself like many others have higher goals.
I find it kind of strange that this didn't come out BEFORE the elections, but now that the Dems have the house and senate and would be able to do what the republicants have been doing for the last 6+ years there is now a real need for a paper trail. pffft
The Under Secretary of Commerce for Technology is not skiled enough for his postition and apparently can never be skilled enough.. maybe we need an H1B worker to step in for him
All that is going to do is put smaller ISP's out of business and further aggregate the powers that are in control of our access to free and vital information. Besides.. wasn't it the FBI that put all those Carnivore machines in place at ISPs around the country to snarf up all that data?
The NSA was chartered to spy on foreign citizens in foreign countries, and never to be allowed to spy on US Citizens. My how this administration likes to twist and distort the law to it's favor even to the point of untruthfulness.
From the article: "AdCenter will give advertisers sophisticated information about consumers, including their location, age, gender and sometimes, their level of wealth."
Could MS be misusing all of that registration data they have been collecting? Or have they silently added another few hundred lines to their EULA / TOS?
A further development shows that 'FCC Chief Kevin Martin' received numerous South Pacific fishing trips, and a european golf trip, paid for by the telecommunications lobbying group (TLI). Just kidding, but something smells fishy nonetheless.
Maybe good Old 'Dollar Bill Gates' should dontate some of his billions and not just a few mere millions for decent computers to developing countries so they can get into the 21st century, instead of dissing someone else's good works.
Hopefully Microsoft will update their anti-spyware/anti-virus/anti-whatever more frequently than they do their lame O/S. Which is really why were in this mess to begin with!
Just wait until blue state search results vary from red state results, courtesy of the Bush neo-con regime. All due to 'terrorist' activities and 'national security' of course.
America is becoming de-industrialized and what does this administration do? they drop funding for some of the U.S. top robotics engineers. It appears that we will be staying behind other countries like Japan for the foreseeable future.
This brings a whole new level to the meaning of Adware and Spyware. Talk about your privacy concerns. Microsoft will know not only when you watch TV but also which channels.
The article smells of a Microsoftie in linux-land First off it states that Horton 'inherited the decision'
"Crest's IT manager, Anthony Horton, oversaw the deployment of SAP on Linux in November 2004, after inheriting the decision when he took the job."
Which would imply he would've made a different decision to start with. He goes on to imply that automated patching is a big bad no-no and they must manual patch linux:
"Software updates had to be manually installed to ensure SAP certification."
Then the article goes on to say they will use windows automated patching service "WSUS":
Crest Electronics is trialling Microsoft's Windows Server Update Service, which allows automatic patching for the operating system and other Microsoft software on servers and desktop machines across a corporate network. Its benefits are one of the key reasons why Mr Horton stands by his decision to switch from Linux to Windows."
The whole article stinks of Microsoft, and I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft wasn't behind it in some way or other.
Maybe if the U.S. Government would stop superheating the upper ionosphere see haarp we could at least get a reasonable baseline for measurement. We can't even begin to comprehend the implications that such a project might have on our planet.
The American tax dollar invented the internet and led to it's current worldwide deployment. Why would any red-blooded tax-paying American want to just give away it's oversight to a third party? Can anyone say NWO ?

Ain't it interesting how all the errors in code (bugs?) all favor the republican candidates? What are the odds!

We have forsaken liberty and our right to privacy for security.

Wonder what kind of heavy metals etc.. go into making one of these
People like Kenny lay of Enron fame get away with stealing us blind!
America is becoming de-industrialized and what does this administration do? they drop funding for some of the U.S. top robotics engineers. It appears that we will be staying behind other countries like Japan for the foreseeable future.
So I'll have to add another forwarder to named.conf

flames gladly accepted.
Interesting for Microsoft to bring this up since the default XP install asks for a username and then gives that user administrator rights.
Every newer windows box out there has 'hidden' admin shares i.e. C$ D$ etc.. I guess the MPAA and RIAA won't be using windows at all any more.
The fan noise alone on a P4 next to my TV would be enough to make me not like it, especially(sp?) in the quiet parts of movies and music.
Interesting that there is no mention of this on the tcpdump.org website, one would think they would at least post something about it.
