When it is MUCH simpler to encrpyt your eMail than it is to secure your phone communications - why not just HIDE anything you don't want the FBI to see?
Commercial E-mail is a very efficient, cost effective means of informing people about new goods and services. This translates into substantial savings to the consumer. That the vast majority of internet users don't mind Spam and want to hear about new goods and services.
That for Years now, more advanced bulk mailing software has allowed bulk mailers to shoulder the full cost of Spamming. This cost has increased and access has become much more difficult due to unfair and illegal practices by the big providers (the later day Robber Barons) Who have a vested interest in keeping Costs and Profits high for as long as possible, and with the news media with whom most have form alliances, have and continue to wage a war of misinformation, deceptions, and out and out lies.
That through an unholy alliance with vix.com, individuals and companies have been targeted by cyber terrorists who have attacked their equipment, programming and subjected people to threats of violence by posting personal information on these legitimate companies employees and individuals home addresses,
phone numbers, which leads to threats against them, there families and children.
Lastly, that the Robber Barons (Big Internet Providers) use special identification programs in their efforts to stop free trade that invades the privacy of all individuals by identifying, reading, and then determining whether or not you will get your mail or not (ask yourself this question, if AOL or SPRINT or AT&T or MicroSoftNetwork, (MSN), sent someone to your house to intercept your mail, open it, read it, and then arbitrarily decide whether they will put it in your mail box or not. Would you put up with that?) They call it filtering, we know it by
its more insidious name, CENSORSHIP.
Censorware attempts to "describe" the universe that is the Net. But it is mere software. People are hard wired for parsing, computers are not. They don't parse worth diddly squat. People are the best judges of what is worthwhile and what isn't and they can only decide this for themselves. Software can't "know" and judge an idea as well as people can.
In the mid-1970's, an even more general mathematical study of music was performed by Richard F. Voss and John Clarke at the University of California. This time, rather than studying the structure of the music as it is written, the researchers decided to study the actual audio physical sound of the music as it is played. This was accomplished by analyzing the audio signal which, in a stereo system, would correspond to the voltage used to drive the speakers. The signal was fed through a PDP-11 computer, which then measured a quality called the spectral density.
Spectral density is often used in the analysis of random signals or noise, and is a useful characterization of the average behavior of any quantity varying in time. In technical terms, the spectral density Sv of a quantity V(t) fluctuating with time t is a measure of the squared variation V^2 in a unit bandwidth centered on the frequency f. The average is usually taken over at least 30 periods. Another quality, called the autocorrelation function, measures how the fluctuations in the signal are related to previous fluctuations.
The concepts of spectral density and autocorrelation are a bit difficult to grasp mathematically, but can be understood intuitively; Benoit Mandelbrot explains them in the following manner. If one takes a tape recorder and records a sound, then plays it faster or slower than normal, the character of the sound often changes considerably. Some sounds, however, will sound exactly the same as before if they are played at a different speed; one only has to adjust the volume to make it sound the same. These sounds are called "scaling sounds."
The mathematical study of music is certainly nothing new, dating back to ancient Greece. Around the 5th century BC, the Pythagoreans formulated a scientific approach to music, expressing musical intervals as numeric proportions. This was probably done by observing the tones produced by plucked strings of different lengths; for example, the tone produced by a string held at the middle is an octave higher than that of the whole string. They went on to calculate the intervals for several different scales, including the chromatic and diatonic scales. Archytas of Tarentum, a Pythagorean mathematician who lived around 400-350 BC, was even able to work out the relationships between notes in the enharmonic scale, which includes quarter tones.
No, but you would have to call MS and explain what you have done, and convince them you to give you a new code #.
In a way, I am hoping that this will accelerate adoption on some other office suite, like KDE's or Star Office. I know a bunch of businesses that will simply do without rather than buy a bunch of copies of MS Office (at the current prices, anyway).
Some additional details are available at Woody's Office Watch which I recommend subscribing to. It's a pretty timely resource for a lot of things, including ways to deal with Outlook related viruses (I know, I know - "the best way to deal with Outlook viruses is to use Eudora, etc. - spare me) and other handy tools.
In a related note, I know of many small businesses that purchase one copy of MS Office and install it on every computer in the place. This practice will end with the Office 2000 Service Pack 1, because after so many days, you are required to contact MS to obtain a license code, which is based on the number MS Office 2000 SP1 generates from an algorithm in calculated, in part, from your computer's unique configuration.
I predict MS revenue beating analysts expectations once this forces all these small businesses to buy a legit copy for each workstation.
With the version 7.0 SuSE new ways goes. After seven years as most successful Linux Distributor in the German market it is now past with the " Linux Einerlei ": With " personnel " SuSE Linux starts the extensive " Professional " through on the domestic Desktop PC, meets all desires and request, which a professional places to its Linux.
SuSE Linux 7,0 personnel contacts Linux Einsteiger and private users, which would like to become acquainted with the advantages of the free Unix clone on a Desktop computer. Apart from current Linux system, are contained on three D-CRcOcMs numerous applications from the areas Games, Multimedia, picture handling and Internet. Which home and Officeanwender estimate: with StarOffice a complete Office package is attached to 5,2, which guarantees a smooth data exchange with other Office applications owing to revised import and export filters.
Three easily understandable manuals arrange spielerisch handling the new system for the Linux beginner: The " Quick Install manual " describes the Linux installation on 64 multicolored pages with numerous pictures step for step. With the new " Konfiguration" book learns the user, printer, scanner, D-CBurner, diagram -, to merge sound and TV cards optimally and to arrange the KDE Desktop after its taste. Netscape navigator, Gimp, Acrobat reader or Midnight Commander obtains the resuming manual " the programs " in compact form an overview of the most important functions of the most popular the acct the acct idiomacct idioms such as StarOffice.
SuSE Linux Professional 7,0 offers to ambitionierten home users such as IT professionals admits extensive collection of over 1500 current Linux tools and software packages. With SuSE Linux Professional can be implemented Intranet and Internet solutions likewise like the connection and the protection of heterogeneous networks. Profesionelle users find here all Tools, in order to WWW -, Proxy -, Mail -, News servers under Linux to put. The user has the selection between six D-CRcOcMs and a DVD, which is all together contained in the Professional package. Altogether four manuals supply on over 1000 pages current Linux Know how from first hand - also to special topics such as network configuration and security.
SuSE offers a economical update version beyond that to experienced Linux users. Their software scope is identical to SuSE Linux 7,0 Professional; in place of the 650-seitigen, detailed SuSE manual a compressed 60-seitige informs documentation about the most important innovations.
Substantially extended also the installation support contained in the purchase price presents itself: Immediately the SuSE Hotline is in five - instead of so far two - afternoons per week to services. Professional customers keep in the future 90 days long to support from the SuSE professionals, one month longer than so far. Users of the personal or update version have requirement on 60 days installation support.
More comfort offers also the again extended YaST2: In addition now the Nachinstallieren and Deinstallieren belong of single packages just like a NIS Client module or the configuration of the t-cDrl-acces. Also a graphic inetd.conf wordprocessor is new in Yast2 with which server services also separately from the Clients to install leaves itself. KDE enthusiasts can be pleased already now about the more than 200 Tools of PRE-KDE 2,0, the all-newest status of this " NEXT Generation" Desktops really succeeded.
Thus SuSE Linux is the only operating system that the complete installation enables to also blind users. The Braille lines are detected automatically with the start of the installation.
The 7,0 offers again a true filling horn at new features: Immediately the diagram chips profit from ATI, NVidia and Matrox from the XFree86 4.0-Grafikpower. - and gibtx27s only with SuSE - the support for dia. moon Fire GL1 is brand-new. Even if it is not yet official " raus ": SuSE already now brings a Linux Kernel, which one may call owing to numerous extensions confidently 2.2.17-pre. The extended USB support supplies experimental US multicolored supporting for ISDN, floppy one and Iomega Zip 250. For the first time now also scanners at the parallel port under Linux can be addressed. The support for the Adaptec RAID CONTROLLER is new. Also for the SCSI adapters on NCR base of the super+fast Symbios log IC chip SYM53C89Ä and SYM53C1010 participate now drivers. Also the advancement of the ATA standard on 100 mc/s is supported with the new SuSE Linux 7,0. Thus penetrates OATHS now into the performance regions from SCSI before Big bread ago including: SuSE Linux offers Videoconferencing in accordance with H.323-Standard. An extended bttv driver provides finally for a global support of TV cards. Also Java2 of IBM and Sun are not missing on the Professional. The Knaller from the o.l. SA labs: SuSE Linux 7,0 brings a hardware-supporting Plug and Play driver as the first distribution for all Yamaha (kompatiblen) Soundkarten with YMF72x and YMF74x-Chips.
SuSE Linux 7,0 Professional empfielt itself by improved Raw DEVICE support, LFS (Large file support) and 4GB-Hauptspeicheradressierung vehement now also as server system for very large and complex applications of data bases. The optimized support for fully automatic installations and the new SuSE Tool ALICE (AUTOMATIC Linux installation and Configuration Environment) enable a rational configuration management in enterprise networks
