It seems to me that the telecommunications ministers have much larger things to deal with than cookies. Do they really have the power or reason to deal with the Application layer of the system? Now my site needs a policy to tell people that my app server likes to set cookies? Anyone wish for the time when the web was less commercial?
We trained hard - but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.
Thanks for your reply.
I had assumed, by the placement of your comment that your were working in a country that needed infrastructure builders. Apparently, I am wrong...
I'm not one to discuss giving nor is this the proper forum, but for what it's worth, I share my blessings.
The problem is this: You are occupying a position that could be held by a local. In this way, you are a detriment to the infrstructure, not a help. The goal of most of these volunteer organizations is to build infrastructure to improve life, then leave. I can accomplish the same you are by donating without leaving These United States (tm), not to mention that working here possibly makes more money to donate.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work. Switching off GPS will cause more damage than thousands of unmanned drones. If you take away their navigation source, who knows what they'll do. It's easier to protect against them when they're predicable. This is why GPS is scrambled selectively in sensitive areas. Besides, the military needs GPS as much as, if not more than civies.
The article is called "Rivals Mobilize Alternatives to U.S. System." What are they thinking? The USA has far too great an interest as global trade is concerned to turn off GPS. The FAA has approved GPS for IFR navigation. People take the handheld units virtually everywhere. I don't see that anyone would let the DoD just turn off the system. [sarcasm] Like I'm going to pay for a Galileo signal when I get GPS for free, not to mention installed base. [/sarcasm] Too many people rely upon GPS. While it seems wise to make an alternative, it benefits few to none, excepting those that make the birds and as a deterrant to the US turning off GPS.
Summary: Expensive, bad idea.
I really like it. I got the first case from them, after the obligatory 10 week wait -- They first said 3 weeks, but after I called 4 weeks later, they informed me that they were redesigning the system. After I received my unit and installed all the components, my 1GHz K7 was reaching 160F in 45 seconds. Koolance didn't believe me when I told them the unit wasn't circulating water. I put a normal TT heatsink on the proc and there was no problem. I sent the case back for repair. 4 weeks and many, many phone calls later, the replacement case arrived. It has worked flawlessly and quietly. I really am impressed with the low noise.
I didn't buy this to overclock, but to run quietly, which is really important when I use the box for audio recording (on location -- yes, it's heavy) and editing.
All in all, I love the case. The support from Koolance is decent, but they're slow. You decide . . .

> With all that they threw in, looks like they still forgot to make it illegal to fly an airplane into a skyscraper!
Please note that while not explicitly stating flying into skyscrapers, their flights broke some FAR's that every pilot knows (from 14 Code of Federal Regulations):
91.13 Careless or reckless operation.
(a) Aircraft operations for the purpose of air navigation. No person may operate an aircraft in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another.
(b) Aircraft operations other than for the purpose of air navigation. No person may operate an aircraft, other than for the purpose of air navigation, on any part of the surface of an airport used by aircraft for air commerce (including areas used by those aircraft for receiving or discharging persons or cargo), in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another.
91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General.
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following altitudes:
(a) Anywhere. An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface.
(b) Over congested areas. Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.
(c) Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
Ouch! This reminds me of Fileplanet. Who wants to see 'You are 3954 of 4132'? I know it really peeves me when a company puts all their patches on Fileplanet so I have to wait _forever_ to get them.
OTOH, a queing system may be better than taking down the site -- I think.
See http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=sl&g=events/ ts/092001infjustice&e=1 for an example. Not too big a deal. Just remember to click next twice every 10n + 5 slide.

This reminds me of a quote I received today:

This hurts. I'm still waiting on my DOA koolance case repair/return to use my brand new Radeon64DDR :( That think handily pounds my card.
