While the backhoe is the Internet's natural enemy it is also a a necessary part of the circle. It proves often that redundant routing works other than having the much nastier enemy of the Internet, the nuclear bomb, set it's sites on it.
I have heard the first real world test of redunant routing was cause of a backhoe outside of Atlanta. Not sure how true that is or not.
Isn't the cost point close enough yet to just use hard drives instead for long term storage and not be too bad?
You can pick up OEM 250GB hard drives for around $100. Toss in a $50 USB case or a SATA case and you're looking at $1.67 a GB storage. Plus you're not limited to 4.5GB file size.
Sure drives fail but you won't be spinning them that often. I'm begining to think it may be worth it for the long term. Then use the USB drive or SATA as needed and if need be burn a disk.
So the ICANN handed over control of a couple NICs to the government of those countries. Did I miss something else in the article?
Shouldn't the own governments handle the NICs in their own countries? I have to be missing something - otherwise all I can think is this is what the UN would probably have done anyway.

AIT stores
AIT launched its first storefront Thursday in Chicago.
The Fayetteville Web hosting company plans to open one or two stores each month in 2006 as part of a $5 million campaign to expand the company.
Convenient both are occuring at the same time so it can be mentioned in the same article. Looks like a news story then turns into a press release.
Simply put: We made a mistake in the way we communicated everything happening within the game to our current players, and we apologize for it.
Translation. They had the CU go into place just before Rage of the Wookies. I canceled my expansion and I'm sure others did too. Now they learned. Hold out till after the latest round of extra dough comes in. Then turn the game upside down.
I'll come back only when SOE isn't in charge of it. It's funny the rest of us can see it they just can't.
Oh by the way SOE if you hadn't released the game 6-12 months early you wouldn't be in this mess right now. Everyone else takes a step back to do it right and look what they have.
The biggest problem with this game besides the constant "do overs" with the game play is it's failure to make Star Wars it's own without upsetting the masses or breaking Star Wars. Have you ever thought coinsidered wiping the universe and starting over after RoTJ? That side of it is more open to change and wouldn't limit you as much nor have people as upset when you fiddle with Star Wars.
It's not the enginners fault. It's the ones that decided to put it out.
wow it hurts doesn't it

And so we find ourselves joining together to fight a $90 billion company bent on unilaterally changing copyright law to their benefit and in turn denying publishers and authors the rights granted to them by the U.S. Constitution.
It sucks when another company comes along and try and change the rules. It's ok when you do it though huh?
Let's see as I understand it. You look for certain phrases through searching books scanned in on google. It finds those books and displays a page or so of the text (probably less). So you know what you searching for is actually found. Then you can if you want, now see if you can keep up, buy the book.
Wow the authors and publishers really loose out. I see what they mean. Why would you want to sell more books? Google must be stopped!
Didn't amazon do something like this already? Well at least a few pages of the book.
Well it sounded legit to me. Of course in this day and age people have forgotten about "Put up or shut up". It sounds like the put up part has been breached but thankfully the "shut up" portion remains. Hopefully that part will remain.
Viviane Reding, European IT commissioner, says that if a multilateral approach cannot be agreed, countries such as China, Russia, Brazil and some Arab states could start operating their own versions of the internet and the ubiquity that has made it such a success will disappear.
The Internet that China sees is already far different from the Internet that the rest of the world sees. How is that a success?
35 U.S.C. 271 defines infringement as "whoever without authority makes, uses, or sells any patented invention, within the United States during the term of the patent therefor, infringes the patent."
Better it be in the hands of the trigger happy US than an organization that would do nothing except issue a yet another sanction that would be ignored. Nuff said about that as we can argue that all day.
The late comers gain a lot more than the early adopters. So granted the IP address assignments and such would be less BUT consider the technology advancements. Lot's of viable techniques can be used to conserve IP address space now. Not counting connectivity advancements in both speed and cost. They will win out in the end.
Don't get me wrong. The world does need to have a say with the Internet.
Someone could have been offended by it and threw it away. There is case of some company in Florida banning pork products because it offended some employees religion. Someone got in trouble there over bringing a ham sandwich to work.
Microsoft publicly chastises security researchers who don't follow its rules.
It's simple. Researchers should form an organization and make their own rules regarding disclosures. Then follow them to the letter and expect the companies to do the same.
Both parties would fall under the umbrella of the group and have one set of procedures/rules for all. Not seperate procedures/rule for each company.
Of course doing this is the hard part. It could be funded by the major players. It would save them face and streamline things too.
Of course could they live by one set of rules? I doubt it.

I searched for that patent number (US2006015812) at www.uspto.gov and found no results. So the number must be off. I dropped the US too.
It's important to read the patent. So many people don't know how to read patents but still just go off on wild tagents.
What this is called is "backhoe fade"
While the backhoe is the Internet's natural enemy it is also a a necessary part of the circle. It proves often that redundant routing works other than having the much nastier enemy of the Internet, the nuclear bomb, set it's sites on it.
I have heard the first real world test of redunant routing was cause of a backhoe outside of Atlanta. Not sure how true that is or not.
To patent a time machine you must have Patent #1.
What the guy did was wrong no doubt in that. I'm sure the auditors will have a field day with this one.
Let an employee go and let him keep his SecurID and his access - smooth move.

I think a lot of us will have a lot of thinking to do about these new offerings.
It's tempting.

When doing anything like this or ANY task you must always "empty your cup".

Otherwise like this person you will not learn anything.

Security Innovation also claimed that the Novell SLES infrastructure required 4.79 times the number of patches.
Developers stop releasing fixes please. You fix things at the speed of Microsoft otherwise it's seen as being bad.
Shame Shame...
Everything is " fine " come back you'll like it...

It probably now should read...
therefore they were accessible for everyone
This was all talked about oh about early last and really before that. Of course pay attention to the date it's scheduled to display.
The electronic paper display is scheduled to be shown at the FPD (Flat Panel Display) trade show in Japan in April 2006.
I doubt it will be enough time so get ready for another mock up.
Others want more money too...

I read that and thought it was strange. I didn't think the CuteFTP client provided services on the PC?

doesn't have statutory licensing fees for patents
No statutory license fees but they do have...
35 U.S.C. 271 defines infringement as "whoever without authority makes, uses, or sells any patented invention, within the United States during the term of the patent therefor, infringes the patent."
Which allows them to go after them for damages.
