I assume the negative because I worked at a company where they somehow thought that because they were a developer of software/hardware, and because they had an MSDN subscription, they didn't have to pay for any microsoft products beyond their annual MSDN fee.
I was thinking to myself a while back that it would be nice to see VMWare as an OS... and that the closest thing to that would be a linux kernel engineered to work tightly with vmware.
It would be nice to see vmware with proper vesa 2.0 support, along with accelerated video and more hardware support.
If I could run it on my laptop the way things are described, and only take a small speed hit, I would do it. it's the functionality hit that I don't want to take.
Winradio tends to have open SDK's for their products, and be free with their specifications. Professional stuff is often simply a software change, not hardware.
I'm sure they provide an SDK so you can write your own demod if you don't like the one you are willing ot pay for.
Also, call any shop that deals Winradio, they will be more than happy to tell you their prices, I'm sure.
Perhaps the price isn't on yet because they aren't ready to sell them yet.
What does MSDN have to do with it? Do you think that your MSDN license permits unlimited use of all microsoft products for any reason? Direct, commercial use of Win98 the way you are using it probably requires a proper license.
Having recently audited a network's security, and found that, because of their use of VNC and it's weak password encoding, it was trivial to gain access to many computers that I would not otherwise have been able to, at least, not nearly as quickly.
The 'common' virtualization software is Vmware, or Wine. VMware, I doubt works without the proper architecture behind it.. sot hat leaves wine.. but you don't run windows in wine.. so...
Is this an actual proven fact.. or is it just the same common misconception people make... that because seomthing goes on infinitely, never repeating, that means every possible combination must exist somewhere. (not true)
Take a good 8x10 from a good printer, on good paper. Then take a good 8x10 photo-print on real photo paper, from real 35mm film. Or hell, even from 50mm (or whatever the professional standard is).
They are dissing it because they think everyone who needs a relatively tiny, non mission critical database should use MS SQL 2000 on some huge quad processor box.
Of course MySQL is not in the same class of DB as DB2, Oracle, or, even though it kinda sucks, MS SQL.
Notice the lawfirm says that the lady in question did not have authorization to do wire transfers from the company accounts, and the bank manager who authorized all the transfers should have known this.
From the sounds of it, that could put the bank at fault.
Because in Canada, in every province I believe, (Quebec may be different...), you are entitled to either proper notice of termination, or proper serverence pay. The amount of pay and what constitutes proper notice depends on many things.
But your statement that there is no such thing as severance is bullshit. There most certainly is.
That depends on the severence package. Is it severence as required by law, or is it an incentive they are offering you, that you otherwise have no legal right to expect?
Check with your local labor code. Find out what your rights are. If this is something above and beyond what you already had a legal right to accept, then they are simply making you an offer. You are free to leave it.
Sorry, buffer overflows and exploits are obvious as to their intent. The intent is to keep poeple out. Trying to argue in court that the admins failure to patch a security hole constituted granting authorized public access to a resource won't hold up.
having your machine return search results, including url's for accessing files, in gnutella, can very EASILY be taken to mean you have files to share on said URL, and that looking at them would be okay.
People are twisting this aorund to make it sound liek they are going to try to hack your box if you are sharing. They aren't. They are merely going to look at WHAT you are sharing, using whatever sharing mechanism you are using, and then use it later, maybe.
Now, if the sharing mechansim you use is private, apssword protectged, and between freinds, you don't have much to worry about becaues a) they won't find out about it and b) accessing it would be clearly illegal.
They are not portscanning, however, they are cataloging listings of files being openly shared by people.
And it would be arguable if it were illegal access.... what access controls did you have in place on your share? None? That's generally an indication that it's okay for anyone to attach to it.
Not necessarily. Depending on the design, it's quite possible you could lobotomize your dvd player with bad firmware. It all depends on if the loader routines are in firmware or in separate rom, and what measures the engineers took to ensure a clean upgrade.
You go on to, say, gnutella. By searching gnutella, your computer reveals to other computers that your computer has something speaking http running on port 80 that is likely sharing files. They go and look at those files.
They have not 'hacked' into anything.
They go and search for files the same way every other file searcher does, though perhaps they use some custom software, and then they keep a record.
And they do. If I find a url somewhere that says you have port 80 open, and I go and LOOK at what is there, am I doing something illegal?
How is this different?
They find the address of the port used to share files on the file sharing service, by using it... and then, using custom software, find out what you have to share.
They did not break in, did not guess passwords, and did not do anything wrong.
SO it's a new issue at school, but hardly a terrible one. Teachers have had to deal with slang all the time.
To those of us who basically went through most or all of primary/secondary school without the internet, it makes us ill to see people saying "how R U doing:)" and all the other stupid misspellings. Dood. Kool. Etc.
But to people who have, perhaps, been chatting online as long as they have been reading and writing, it's a different matter.. to them, it's a much bigger part of their world during the learnign process.
But, it means that this setup, clusters of good intel hardware running redhat, and oracle's cluster stuff is a very, very serious contender when it comes to large databases.
ANd if you look at it on a cost basis, it's a HUGE contender.

Many other sites that have this also assume it.
Unlimited site license? Really?
Yeah, I do understand how they work.
I suppose I assumed the XBOX had more different hardware in it than it really does.
That's cool.

what you WANT is this: the main Winradio 1500i (too bad it's ISA... hmm. no pci cards?
The frequency range is 150 kHz to 1.5 GHz, and you can use all their fancy software to decode all kinds of things.
Of curse, being the Land of the Free, as stated on the site, "the US version excludes cellular frequencies 825-849 and 869- 894 MHz"
So order one from Canda and have it shipped down.
Are you sure you are talking about the same product? The winradio cards I look at do all KINDS of neat digital decoding.
They will follow trunking, decode pager data, listen to digital transmission, decode satellite imagery, etcetera....
Does a Sony radio do that? Or even a grundig?

Which virtualisation software was that?
The 'common' virtualization software is Vmware, or Wine. VMware, I doubt works without the proper architecture behind it.. sot hat leaves wine..
but you don't run windows in wine.. so...
What is it?
That's interesting.. but nowhere there does it show any kind of proof.
"Finding any string somewhere" is not an inherent property of nonrepeating infinite sequences of numbers......
Is this an actual proven fact.. or is it just the same common misconception people make... that because seomthing goes on infinitely, never repeating, that means every possible combination must exist somewhere. (not true)
It is entirely subjective.
Take a good 8x10 from a good printer, on good paper.
Then take a good 8x10 photo-print on real photo paper, from real 35mm film. Or hell, even from 50mm (or whatever the professional standard is).
Now take out a magnifying glass.
Now you will see the difference.
You should also tax music, then.
And don't forget books.
And any other kind of ideas or content that comes from some other country.. better tax it.

Portscannign is not, in and of itself, illegal.
They are not portscanning, however, they are cataloging listings of files being openly shared by people.
And it would be arguable if it were illegal access.... what access controls did you have in place on your share? None? That's generally an indication that it's okay for anyone to attach to it.
That's why access controls exist.
Not necessarily.
Depending on the design, it's quite possible you could lobotomize your dvd player with bad firmware.

The logic is very strong.

They go and look at those files.
They have not 'hacked' into anything.

IT makes perfect sense.
And they do.
