Why can't every OS be based on a set of common standards and have some proprietary extensions to differentiate itself from the others? And every OS should support a number of common API's for applications to run on them. If you buy an app it should run on most OS's. Some apps can be specific to some OS's because of their features.
You're right. Were testing Win 2000 Clustering and I was pressed for time.
But there is no such thing as cyberspace./. is nothing more than an application on a server. Same with any other chat room or message board or instant messaging app. It's just a program that someone wrote.
These servers are in countries and subject to their laws. Just like you can't slander or yell Fire in a movie theater in the so called real world, speech laws apply in the local jurisdiction where the server is located. Just because you're "saying" something online doesn't mean the speech isn't subject to our laws.
The Internet is a series or privately and publicly owned networks connected together. The routers, switches and servers are owned by corporations. These corporations are based in political boundaries we call countries and must follow the local laws and regulations as well as those of countries in which they operate.
What makes anyone think cyberspace is a different world? With this argument one can say they can set up an online heroin business that should be immune to any legal ramifications.
A bunch of lawyers won money from Toshiba and a few other companies for "faulty" floppy drives that never resulted in data loss. Of course the fault has been long known, but who cares.
In this case it sounds like you paid money and aren't getting something that you paid for in quality terms. Find a good lawyer and file a class action lawsuit, the great American past time.
I got my bubonic plauge vaccine in the us army. It's 3 shots over 18 months. It was a special memory among my other 2 pages of vaccines and shots that I got. But I feel fine.
if a judge signs a wiretap order the FBI can bug your phone because you're a criminal suspect. Grow up, this is the law in the US. Carnivore is just another tool to wiretap email and internet access in general.
Since everyone thinks they are so smart here, would you care to describe a solution to wiretap the internet communications of suspected criminals without scannin the packets of everyone else?
is that people buy 4 wheel drive SUV's to drive on paved roads. If it ever gets dirty it's washed right away. Now what is your average suit going to need a ruggedized PDA for? Throwing it at others in the boardroom?
What's to stop the US Congress from passing laws requiring all US based network and telecommunications providers from passing laws blocking packets to and from offshore sites? And ditto for phone calls.
It's very easy to distinguish between debit cards, VISA Buxx and real credit cards. The numbers on your CC aren't random. They specify which card it is, the issuer, type of account and the account number. I don't have a link, but someone explained it to me. It sounds logical since when you purchase something in a store the computer has to take that string of 16 digits and figure out who you are and who issued your card. I also have 2 cc's from the same issuer and the first 4 digits are the same.
What are you scared of? It's been western law for the last few hundred years for the legal authorities to spy on you if a judge agrees that you're a suspect in a crime. That's what the 4th Amendment is all about.
Besides GWB like most Republicans believes in federalism. It's the principle that the federal government should leave most affairs to the 50 states. In the view of federalism the 50 states hold all the power and surrender part of it to the federal government for common security and so forth.
The US Congress has the power to regulate any US based business engaged in interstate commerce. Everyone of the Fortune 500 sells products and services overseas, but that doesn't mean the US government can't regulate them. By your judgement the US government can't regulate Intel because it sells products overseas and has offices all around the world.
Any business based in the US will have a business certificate issued in one of the 50 states. It will also have paperwork on file with the IRS to pay income taxes and FICA taxes for it's employees. If the said business also has offices in other countries it will be subject to their laws and regulations. Just because a business has an internet presence doesn't exclude it from following local laws. The internet is a tool, it's not a world. If the US Government wanted it could pass laws requiring network providers to block packets going to and from offshore gambling businesses. It could also pass laws requiring telecommunications providers to block any phone calls to offshore gambling businesses.
Just because you do business on the internet doesn't mean you don't have to be registered with your local and federal governments for tax and regulatory purposes. If GE which is the largest e-business in the world has to do it, then so do you.
And don't forget braindumps. Everyone who can read is getting and MCSE so they can earn $75,000 on their first job with no experience. MS said they will get rid of braindumps with the Windows 2000 cert, but MCSE Braindumps is alive and well. MCSE is nothing more than a free sales force.
Even Cisco is feeling the heat of competition. My last month at my old job I didn't have anything to do. So I decided to get a CCNA. Did it without ever touching a router And the practice tests I used had 10 questions straight from the real exam.
Now I'm learning Linux. This is what Linux needs, a good known cert. It needs to have it's holders know enough to be dangerous. Then you need to start pumpimg out people with that cert to act as a free sales force for linux. It worked for MS back in the NT days.
As far as knowledge, Cisco was pretty good. Their questions were straight to the point of the material covered. Microsoft questions were a guessing game. Some questions you had to read into it and make assumptions. Other times if you read into it you got it wrong. And then of course some of their answers are to upgrade to windows 2000 to use TCP/IP. Other questions try to get you into the MS way of doing things with MS Windows features even though there are better products available that people use. Examples are routing, back up, RAID software.
Just like Ebay will be the goods exchange of the future, Paypal will be the currency exchange of the future. It's a lot of money if you run your own credit card transactions, why pay it when paypal does it for less.
Western Union used to perform this function. But someone came around that does this for less.
That's going a little too far I think. It's probably against the law too. The reason I don't like the idea of everyone in the database is first of all privacy issues.
Second size. The replication would be a nightmare. Either replicating GB of changes to thousands of locations every day or having the remote locations access the database remotely. Either way sounds very complicated. Imagine the network hardware and bandwith required.
This whole idea reminds me of the MS Exchange organization we had at my last job. It was 94 sites spread around the world with around 300 servers. A new mailbox would take 2-3 days to replicate to the directories of every single server worldwide. Ditto for any changes.
Everything evens out in the end. I bet some people were saying similar things when IBM laid off their mainframe people in the 80's. These people should be able to find work doing Solaris or Linux projects. If HP laid off the wrong people then their management screwed up and will be in a world of hurt later. Or maybe they didn't like their Unix business anymore and wanted out.
Which liberties are you giving up? What's so different between a police officer comparing your face to those of known terrorists or a computer doing it better and faster?

I bet it was a free service. Or a very low cost one.

Shut down their IPIX picture service. I wonder if it's a coincidence that they are migrating to IIS.

We'll if it's so obvious then why didn't anyone implement it before they made it up?
That has always been Nvidias strategy. Release a new core once a year and then release an overclocked ultra version 4-6 months later.

The government can regulate US websites and block all foreign ones if it wanted to.
CC numbers identify the issuer, account number and so forth. Very easy to distinguish between VISA buxx cards and real CC's.
weren't you on alt.certification.mcse about 2 years ago?

No plants on the enterprise? Ever see plants on the space shuttle or the ISS? How do they breathe?

I'm reading Jack Welch's book. In the 80's he laid off thousands, but he said he tried to give notice of a months of a plant closing or lay off.
