What. He can't even afford a $20 web hosting account some place?
Most web outfits give you *gigabytes* of traffic per month, not megabytes.
This guy is a moron who was busted for advocating the violent overthrow of the US government. Look at his web site in cache.google.com. He's getting exactly what he wanted, a confrontation with the feds. Now the heat is on and he's unhappy about it?
I used to have the same beliefs about Java, and I authored quite a bit of software with it. I thought it was klunky, slow and you had to kludge your way through it to get it to work exactly as you wanted. The platform independence seemed mythical, despite all the anecdotal success stories from Sun and Java's creators.
That has changed somewhat. My enterprise backup system uses Java as the administration interface, and it's fairly snappy across Windows and Unix. It still suffers from inconsistencies between platforms, it's still painfully slow in certain functions, but it's come a long way since I programmed in it.
"The labels are worried that the rise of home CD-burners has eaten into album sales, particularly after the worst year in a decade for the music industry. "....
Maybe the reason it's the worst year in a decade is that nobody wants to listen to the crap they're trying to sell.
The television stations are under NO obligation to transmit high-definition. They are just supposed to use this is as the primary allocation and cease broadcasting in their current license allocation within the next 9 years.
What they're likely to do is transmit a primary channel non-HD or HD only in prime-time and use 3 other sub-channels or lease those out. This data service. During HD transmissions, they'll have one other channel and a number of lesser bandwidth sub-channels for data.
Thanks for your attempt at putting words into my mouth. But you are incorrect.
The technology sold to the Chinese were bought and paid-for by US taxpayers, and sold when Loral and a couple principles made suspect soft-money contributions to the DNC. The only way this would have even come to light is the not-so-indirect contributions from China via way of John Wong.
So please, spare me your political claptrap about conservative insanity. I was a card-carrying Democrat until my security was sold to the highest bidder. Face it, they're all crooks and as long as you live in denial and wrap yourself in a curtain of "it'll be ok, my gubberment wuvs me", it'll never change.
Have a nice day knowing Chinese nukes, constructed far crappier than their Russian counterparts, will be pointed at you for the rest of your life. All courtesy of crooked politicians.
1. Unlisted telephone number.
2. My local telco gives me a second phone number with distinctive ringing and voicemail for $10. Print *that* number on checks and use when stores ask for phone numbers.
In all the years I've used this, I've received telemarketing calls only from companies that use random dialing. The easiest way to appear on telemarketing lists is to print your phone number on your personal checks.
If NAI didn't want to charge $5,500 for a server based encryption package. Up from $1,000 for a *two year license* for PGP version 5.
NAI is a bunch of idiots anyway. They totally screwed over people when they took over the Gauntlet firewall suite. First, "you need to migrate to NT, all Unix Gauntlet packages will be discontinued". Ok, 18 months later "Gauntlet for NT is now discontinued".
Hopefully, someone will pick up PGP and offer it at a price people can afford.
The problem with this is not that anyone is being denied royalties for their patents, but rather the entire W3C becomes nothing more than a sales effort for those companies that comprise the W3C.
At that point, if the W3C is a not-for-profit corporation, a legal challenge could be raised that it is no longer a standards body but a trade organization.
The is called the REAL WORLD boys and girls. It's a world where the corporate mentality is MORE is MORE and you'll produce or hit the highway.
They don't care if you leave, the down tech sector has produced starving database programmers who are willing to take your place and readily dispense with the "quality" tripe.
I was a contractor at a major automotive plant, when hourly workers complained that the transmissions don't fit into the prescribed holes, the plant managers said "Hit it with a rubber mallet until it does line up, and do it quick so you don't fall behind".
Gotta love the corporate work quality mentality. Either quit, or sell your soul.
50% better uptime and reliability than Win98. A stunning admission that they've produced inferior product in the past.
Here's your choice: You can continue to pay your yearly "vig" to Microsoft, or you can get off the treadmill of upgrades and keep the money yourself.
For large IT shops, they'll stick with Microsoft. For a small trucking company where every penny saved goes into the pocket of the owner (who works 18 hour days), guess which way they'll swing?
Sorry, but I've installed 15 Linux & Staroffice systems in 15 different logistics companies since May 2001. The only problem is Access databases, of which that was a problem at one office.
Microsoft has forgotten the small business can't afford $2,000 a year in software upgrades and fees. Linux may never rule on the desktop, but at the current pace, Microsoft sure isn't hurting the effort.
By the way, as far as "reducing costs of ownership", it's at the expense of security. When you have end-users managing web-based server platforms, you get repeated propagation of things like, Code Red (voila!).
When the morons at Gateway are advertising the fact that you CAN illegally copy music with any new PC that you purchase.
The RIAA lobbied for a blank tape tax on all DAT formats. Instead, they managed to talk congress in to SEDAT copy protection that killed the RDAT audio format.
I'm not optimistic that they won't have similar luck at this with CD-R's.
Face it...we're guilty and have paid our fine. Now, copy all the music you want.

This is nothing but a right wing Republican conspiracy to keep Bill Clinton out of space. The shame of it all!

About the same as your comment.
So neah-neah

Nice try, but you're wrong. This program was not started by the senior Bush.
that technology Bill Clinton allowed Loral to sell to the Chinese being put to good use.
After all, if you can put a man in space, you can put a nuke in Washington.
Anything but overlaying onto ext2 is the answer.
The Linux elite have roasted Microsoft many times for this, and what does darling Red Hat go out and do, the same damned thing.
Alan Cox should be toasted at the stake.
Years of real-world experience.
Of course, it wasn't contributed by the Linux illumninati, so it'll be dismissed and excluded as if it were contributed by Microsoft.
Petty bullshit and ego-based politics have arrived in Open Source.
My solution is simple:

And AMSAT did this as an amateur project.
Amsat = ham radio.

Tell that to my SGI on a R15000.
And it also applies in reverse, when you convert the digital back to analog at the local telco switch.
Mr. Nyquist, where are you please? It seems the Aussies have forgotten your theorems.

The solution is for you to put a bullet in your head. People run what they want to run, get over it.
