you need a warrant to track a person's private movements. I think in Wisconsin it was argued that that since the suspect visited public places then the warrant and the GPS tracking wasn't legal. but the police physically followed him as well and this is why it withstood appeal.
more traffic in urban areas. in a city you will have internet, the baby monitors, telephones and maybe something else on the 2.4GHz band from a lot of people in a small space. in the US in rural areas you will have maybe 2-3 families in the range of a wifi device so there is very little overlap if any from multiple people using the same frequencies
I looked at the android market website since I have an open mind until the new iPhone comes out next month. App store beats it. My wife's iphone has kids games on it along with flash cards for our son to play with. And come this summer you will be able to USe the iPhone to measure blood pressure and cholesterol. I like listening to slacker and reading a book at the same time on my bb curve, but for a new personal cell I'll probably take the iPhone. New version will have nice 3d graphics almost as good as a console. Games suck on all the other phones
because they buy their copy of windows with a new PC from Dell or HP and it's tied to the hardware and probably won't need to be activated.
for the DIY it probably makes sense to buy a technet sub and get "free" Ultimate copies of the OS. my msdn license keys for Vista say up to 10 activations and you can give it out to other people for "marketing purposes"
few years ago when we first bought into VMWare and before the hardware virtualization on CPU's arrived I asked this to the VMWare sales guys because the new CPU's were shipping soon. they said it allows the virtualization software access to ring 0 of the CPU instead of going through the normal channels. kind of like MS and it's secreat API's for it's own products
The D section of the WSJ still has original stories. Becky Quick who is now on CNBC used to write there some years back. all her stories were orginal and not AP reprints
i hear blizzard is a good place to work at and their games make a ton of money to keep it a nice place to work.
i read this years ago when the game industry first started growing from lone dev in the garage days.
in hollywood when they make a movie, they first write a script and draw storyboards and whatever. so by filming everything is planned out and everyone knows what to do.
in the game industry a lot of dev houses would start to make a game and change too many things midway and waste time starting all over again.
the article did point out a lot of problems, but HIPAA is the culprit. It was passed in 1996 and took effect a few years ago. it says medical info has to be controlled so that only the people who need to know, get to know about your condition.
Any electronic data model has to be built around this. and medial people are as scared of HIPAA as other people are scared of SOX and everyone goes overboard
this is just a temporary problem. next year Verizon and AT&T are going to start deploying 4G cell networks. in 5-10 years all your music and videos will be streamed over the air.
there's already a Hulu app for the iphone and AT&T is going to upgrade their network just so people can stream video over their phones
just like with computers, apple wants to make only minor variations of a model. for the iphone it's how much storage you want. with their computers it's only a few minor variations as well.
more choices means more expensive to produce, more testing, etc. Less profits due to higher costs.
and with CDMA, why make a phone for a dying technology?
forgot the frequencies, but you should be able to find them by googling. you just need something that can transmit and receive on those frequencies.
back when i was in korea we used to pick up ABC and a few other TV stations with Army FM radios because they supported a few civilian frequencies.
didn't work in europe because over there their freqs end with an even number, in the US they end with an odd number. look at any radio station and the freq will be an odd number in the US
a lot of channels are open to everyone and not encrypted due to the need for the ability for ships in trouble to call for help over an open channel
these are just your regular frequencies and not anything special. for the encrypted channels you need the key to communicate.

Sparc based boxes are 95% wintel boxes with a sparc CPU and a custom BIOS.
Just like with Intel, the CPU is energy efficient but the other hardware isn't. and the hard drives and everything else in sparc boxes is exactly the same as in wintel boxes. down to the PCI Express bus
Windows has had a native backup tool since the mid 1990's. Most of the backup vendors use it as a base in their products and add on some features. I don't even think MS writes it. The disk management MMC is actually a lite edition of Veritas Volume Manager.
when i compared a MacBook Pro with the features i wanted compared to a Dell Studio 15, the Dell came out a lot cheaper. Even after I built the Dell with the equivelant LCD and the nice graphics card to make it as equivalent as possible.
THe Apple was $3000 and the Dell around $2000 - $2200
for Exchange 2003 you had to restore the db and there were ontrack powertools you bought to search the database file.
with 2007 and with 2010 they either have the ability to do this or it's coming in 2010. you just restore the database and search it. want to find all the emails that joe sent to jeff, just put in the search parameters and it will find it all.
no need for imap for mobile clients. if you don't have BES than winmo and iphones just sync the mailbox over the air. no need for a browser, you just use the integrated mail client.
exchange supports online backup so no downtime during backups. log backups mean you can do point in time restores. if you think someone got an email and deleted it right away, just do a point in time restore and search the db for it.
the failover and replication in Exchange 2007. SOX auditors want to know what your business continuity plans are.
for Exchange 2010 it will be the integrated legal and archiving features. part of SOX is having procedures in place to follow mail retention laws, deletion of email to prevent discovery in a lawsuit, etc.
it's mostly processes that have to be followed so your auditors, CEO and CFO can go to jail if there is fraud in the financial statements. a lot of products have come out to help you be compliant, and MS is now integrating their features into Exchange 2010 instead of you buying separate products
quick check shows they cost close to what exchange costs when you factor in migration and other costs. and they don't support all the features of exchange
no mobile phone support with the ability to manage devices over the air. seems they only offer Palm support.
for the rest of the features don't see anything about replication or failover ability to a DR site. and nothing about archiving policies or any of the new legal features Exchange now supports. sure you can hire an admin to do it manually, but that is extra money. Around $100,000 per year if you include salary, taxes and benefits. and is there a backup agent for it? Every major backup software has Exchange agents for online backups, restores, etc.

Except the iPhone is the same price or cheaper than other similar phones. Every carrier charges the same for data

not like the e versions of textbooks will be any cheaper?
some schools already have drm's pdf's instead of physical books. same price and the drm is annoying to use

Oracle has direct competition from IBM's DB2 and Microsoft's SQL Server on the lower end.
did apple ever give free upgrades? judging by the size of OS X updates as well as the wait for 10.5.7 to QA it, it's just as buggy as windows.

or i can just set up an iphone or winmo cell phone to use the integrated mail app to make life easier.
the iphone allows access to the GAL over the cell network. and mobile safari works nicely with OWA since it's a full web browser.
blackberry has BES which does not work with any of the FOSS solutions
Google also licensed activesync so expect new android phones to have exchange integration as well.
looking at the website it doesn't
no mobile phone support with the ability to manage devices over the air. seems they only offer Palm support.
