The point is you can associated meta data without having to fill out any fields. This is a good combination of digital objects/physical objects. For home users it may make filing/retrieving these objects much easier, but the killer could well be in the business world where paperless office migration is hindered by indexing rules and incomplete meta-data, yet the same people who fail to grasp these issues can manage with traditional files and systems. Merging the two this way will help with the transition.
Cross referencing could be achieved easily, with complex filing rules enforced. People will undertand this - when you scan or save a file you use the relevant objects - a physical key ring would do. As ludicrous as this all sounds ( of course the physical object is redundant) it is the sort of thing that is required to make existing systems work in large organisations.
Wrong. It is not a bit harsh - it is a massive understatemenmt to say that Telstra is a government approved monopoly. It is a government OWNED monolopoly. Then see who has their claws in deepest for the 49% that has been sold off - media monolpolies that our government drops their strides for every time they are asked.
I'm also in favour of government retaining the infrastructure (ie the cables & exchanges or power grid) and charging whoever wants to pay for a licence access. This is not what has happened. The guts are sold lock,stock and barrel. In the case of Telstra this has not been allowed to happen for a few reasons, the main one being the decimation that would occur in the false free market that exists in Aussie telcos right now.
This is a typical Australian "do something about it" position. Granted, it may not always be the best thing straight up, but we are willing to modify as required.
If you don't like it there is always Europe and the UN...........go hide there.

Very commom misconception this one. The law requires you to vote. Informal votes count by virtue of guaranteed confidentiality. What is not covered is the fuck-off-to-somewhere-else attitude of turning up and having some poor base-wage clerk mark your name off. YOU ARE WRONG.
HAVE YOUR SAY OR FUCK OFF TO SOMEWHERE THAT DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK.
If you don't care enough to vote then don't expect the rest of us to give a fuck.
Surely this whole case represents incompetency of the standards body & their lawyers. Are patents discoverable? Is this not part of due diligence? I would expect more than a quick question in determining these things. I expect that proper checks are made and binding agreements reached before progressing. It sounds like RAMBUS did the wrong thing...but why were they allowed to get away with it. They should have been caught way back and these issues sorted out. To stand up in court and plead both ignorance and trust as a case will never work.
I had a very similar experience with my Pismo PowerBook & Jaguar. No CD , wouldn't boot. Apple store said it is completely stuffed - they didn't even know about the firewire disk mode or single user mode.
I got as far as single user boot - but no gui and no way out.
I did what you did and I now have a functional powerbook again - but the dvd/cd was fscked so I now have an ill fitting cdrom in the slot.
I have not loaded the dev tools or X11 this time (these older 5gig drives are just too small) and I have no problems. I have nothing to indicate that fink/X11 had anything to do with my problem - it's just that they are the only things different this time around.
The content of this book is spot on. Just as important is the layout of the book and Sobell has nailed the best way to present this sort of text. It is quick and easy to find exactly what you need.
Whilst the content of other texts may be more extensive it is no good if you can't find what you need. Running Linux falls into this category - a great book until you come across the Practical Guide, after which the other manuals start gathering dust.
How could anyone who has experienced tabbed browsing discount this feature? The lack of tabbed browsing alone places IE dead last. When you add in the fact that it doesn't support ad-blocking the whole article becomes a troll.
Of course IE will win if you discount features it doesn't have.
Yeah , you had rights , you just didn't need them to be written down and rammed down your throat.
The dumbing down of society. We will only have rights if we right them down and grant them to ourselves. PC bullshit that is best illustrated by the UN.
I change locations a lot. I use entourage and although I use the location manager which handles the network changes fine , I have to change smtp servers manually to send mail depending on where I am. I haven't found a way around this with switching locations. Does this suggestion help solve my problem?
Well, maybe if ISP's had an opt-in feature for their customers.Maybe they did contact all of their customers and explain this new "feature" and gave them an option - I'm guessing not.
I'd rather have an ICP (connection) than an ISP any day.
You must have way to much time on your hands. It is so slow and tedious.
Backup on cd or dvd - you have obviously never had to do this in a real environment. It is one thing to copy your hd "just in case" - this is not really backing up.
Back up requires fast,reliable and often reusable media. DVD is good to make copies of stuff , not for a real backup strategy.
No current F1 cars have manual transmissions. Last year some (notably BAR) were using clutches for the start. With traction control now legal again in F1 nobody could afford to use a clutch - you'd never win a start.

She is technically inept. Her claims are false on both levels - her writing is also poor. I'm betting she is on work experience.
Nice troll article though, just enough nuances to get posted, but a troll none the less.
I'll have $10 C&E
Europe , actually doing something rather than:
(a) being bailed out
or
(b) finding fault with someone else instead
Now that's funny!
I didn't kill that fish

You and me both - and I hadn't read the article, just your comment.
Bloody yanks.
Then he'd be known as an Australian.
Anything good to come out of NZ is claimed as Aussie.
This might be offtopic , but it is not a troll.
Actually it is on-topic and funny. Still not a troll.
It is also true. Funny and true like the joke about edison and the lightbulb - the one on The Simpsons.Funny and true

That is where the comparo falls over. MS gets a slice of that two grand from the PC , they get all of the XBox $$$$.

This ISP is stopping it's customers from getting spam. That is the whole point.
It is censorship.

Don't worry about the wiring , where are the lights ?
