Yes, but at a venue where the concessions are vastly overpriced, parking sucks, and where THEY WONT LET YOU BRING IN YOUR OWN WATER.
August, 2001. Willie Nelson picnic. 102F outside, and they were allowing each person to bring in ONE 16oz bottle of water. Otherwise, you were free to buy their bottled water, or refill from the ONE water fountain that is available to the public. Hmmm. Seems CC is finding other "Alternative Revenue Streams" in their live performance venue as well.
Yes, but you now have to pay extra on CNN.com for the privlege of seeing the videos. And no, you don't get a break on it if you're a RoadRunner subscriber, like me.
Seems Time Warner is hopping onto the bandwagon as well, just a little differently.
Whenever I go on vacation, I keep what I call my "Hit By A Bus" document on the system. It's password encrypted and I give that to whomever I deem necessary. It contains passwords, procedures, etc of everything that I do. Then, after returning, I change as many passwords as I can...
Well, of course ClearChannel follows "what listeners want to hear". They TELL them what they want to hear. THEY make the play lists. Absoultely absurd response on the part of CC.
CC: "These are not the bands you are looking for" PUB: "These are not the bands I am looking for"
CC: "You will listen to our drivel and enjoy it" PUB: "I will listen to your drivel and enjoy it"
They were already operating past their budget when the mission was close to over. They literally had to get permission to try to make it take off again.
Holy fark, this doesn't sound like a "spare" laptop to me! I was looking forward to running it on my old 200Mhz laptop that I use to check email, etc when on the road. Plus, the USB requirement nixes my idea too. The laptop will never have USB (I've tried) since it's an older-style laptop and does not run CardBus cards.
Pshaw. I'll go buy two Lego Mindstorm kits for the same price and do it myself...
After reading this thread I went to my local Roadrunner newsgroup to see what others were saying, and someone had posted, TODAY, a message about TW starting to charge over quota users. The message header was there, but when I tried to access it, it said "message not available on server".
Hmmph.
I also went through my TOS and tried to find anything about what my bandwidth limitations are. I can't find any, nor do I remember agreeing to any in the past.
...Time Warner has on their front page several links to live video, music, etc, but if we use them, and like them enough to use them a lot, they'll charge us EXTRA to use them?
Does anyone see a problem with this?
And, how much is too much? I'm currently streaming NASA-TV to watch the Space Shuttle mission. I watch it a lot. What kind of bandwidth does that take up?
I mean, seeing how bad some people sing? I've only been to a Karoke bar once or twice, but that was certainly part of the fun: Seeing someone up there completely butchering "Hotel California".
"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone".
or
"No Shirt? No Shoes? No Service".
If they don't want to let you in because you look suspicious, that's their right as a business. The same goes if they require a driver's license to get in. It's their business - their rules.
"...the earth will shake us off like a bad case of fleas..."
And it's true! The earth has been and WILL around for much longer than us, and it's completely arrogant of the human race to think that we can do anything about it. Our pollution isn't ruining the earth, it's ruining human life. Once we poison ourselves to death, Mother Earth will take over and heal whatever superficial wounds we've inflicted and create life again...this time maybe lifeforms with a little more intelligence...
Save the earth, hell. We have to be concerned about saving OURSELVES!
I work as a consultant, and one of my clients was a LARGE corporation. (I mean, REALLY large. One of the largest...big...)
Anyhow, around the time when Code Red was in full swing, they decided to start blocking employee access to "free" email sites such as Hotmail and Yahoo!, due to the fact that "viruses can propogate via these services".
Hmmm.
I'll be a good consultant, and go along with the flow. I won't bring up the facts that Code Red was designed to be propogated via MS Outlook/Express, most "free" mail sites already do virus scanning, and there wasn't (and still isn't) ANY virus scanning software on the PC's at this company.
...that software companies, instead of having to support two different file systems will now have to support THREE different file systems otherwise they will loose clients. I can't see how Microsoft expects to slide the entire paridigm of what they've created out from everyone and think that everyone will come along for the ride. Face it: Older versions of MS products will be out there for a LONG time, regardless of what Uncle Bill wants...But, maybe that's their plan? Force all the smaller companies out of business! Microsoft products for everyone!
"But Judge, really, we're not a monopoly....those other software developers just couldn't keep up with our new innovations...."
For example, at a site I was at the networking group had a unique problem: They needed to name machines by building, and come up with some type of theme among them. Being the trekkies they had a Star Trek poster of some sort that listed all the different classes of ships, along with the names of individual ships. Each building was assigned a class, and the computers in that building were given names based on that class. For instance, my computer was "Kepler", and another one I remember was a "Copernicus".
Anyhow...YMMV and it sounds like you have many more machines to name, but you get the general idea.
Par for many Slashdot folks to naysay without actually reading the article...
4.3.1 Results of the Survey of Devices. Dial-up and leased-line modems were
found to faithfully broadcast data transmitted and received by the device. Only one
device of this type did not exhibit Class III emanations: the Practical Peripherals
PM14400FXMT fax modem. The shortest pulse duration measured from this device
was 20 ms, even at high data rates.
None of the LAN interface cards tested, including 10 Mbits/s Ethernet and 16
Mbits/s Token Ring adapters, were found to broadcast any recognizable data. Examination
of the data sheet for a chipset used in fiber optic Ethernet devices reveals
a possible reason for this finding. According to [Hewlett-Packard Company 1993a],
LED drivers for transmit, receive, and collision indicators are filtered through
pulse stretching circuits to make their activity more visible. The pulse stretcher
extends the on-time of LED indicators to a minimum of several milliseconds. This
makes short pulses easier to see, but severely limits the bandwidth of the LED from
the perspective of compromising optical emanations. All of the Ethernet and Token
Ring devices examined showed similar behavior in this regard.
They're not stating that ALL LED's exhibit this behavior, just some lower bandwidth ones.
Although I still highly doubt that any useful information would be gleaned from me looking in my neighbor's window and counting pulses from his MODEM LED while he's browing the internet, a spy agency could very well have the technology to figure out how to do this if the particular device is known to have this problem (or "feature", whatever...)
Read, people, read. That's what the paper is there for you to do, not to just hear the title and claim it's impossible.
I was a real big fan of Citrix 4-5 years ago until Microsoft got ahold of them, dolled them up in "Ho" garb, and sold them as a "Microsoft" solution (i.e. Terminal Server).
Go the VNC route. You (and your pocketbook) won't be sorry!
I'm really confused by that assumption. Most of the ads that I see on Slashdot DO work for me. I find myself clicking through to the ads on Slashdot BECAUSE THEY INTEREST ME. Ads like ThinkGeek, California Digital, Sourceforge, etc. They're targeted to the clientele of the web pages they're on.
I'm afraid of, however, is what the ads in the "free" Slashdot will be like... Metabolife, X-10 Cameras, Match.com, Free Credit Reports, 5 DVD's for the price of 1, 0% Visas....I've gotta stop, it's making me woozy. But the "bigger" ads to me mean non-targeted ads, with OSDN taking ads from anyone who is willing to pay. So much for the whole theory of Slashdot - "Stuff That Matters".
Oh, and by the way, the first time I get a pop-up from Slashdot is when I pull the flush cord!

...that 10 months after Gordon Matthews is desginated to "mine" the company's patent portfolio, finds the JPEG patenent and then he turns up dead?
Hmmm?
Gordon Matthews dies

Wow! Can you image the Beowulf cluster they could set up with this???

A CDMA version of it that will support Sprint will also be released later...
I don't know about the rest of you, but I would have serious problems working for someone who goes by the name of "Flip". =)
One of the coolest, and most useless things I've ever seen.
I like it!

Seriously. I would love to work on the "task force" going after spammers. Who do I contact? The FTC? The FBI?

Yup, I realized that. And the people who named the StarShips as well! I donts make them up I justs reports them.
IMHO, that is...
For example, at a site I was at the networking group had a unique problem: They needed to name machines by building, and come up with some type of theme among them.

Let's just hope there's no Slashdot-Asia planned for the near future. That would REALLY take the Slashdot effect to a new level....
