that better tested products last longer. maybe the year they now take for testing and developing will help them build a system that is competitive for 5 years or longer. perherps. i will use linux though.
As i am Sysadmin an an ISP i get confronted with requests from our "law division" to shut down e-mail accounts from people accused to "spam" certain sites. most time i try to find out what user it is, get his phone number (my ISP is also the largest cell phone provider here - quite good, we have lots of user data) and give him a call. if he doesn't stop spamming i call again - and i shut down his account. unfortunately this only works with provate persons and not with companys. here in austria, to shutdown a account of a company that is accused of spamming, you have to log every mail they send for about half a year (after getting a search warrant from a judge of course). good thing: if they can't explain you about 70% of mails, they are out. bad thing: most times they can explain, and in some cases, 30% of mail traffic they can't explain is enough to spam a whole lot of people.
yo... apperently the people that want to ban strong cryptografy in your country and want to monitor EVERY mail by Echelon (and Cernivore) got trocked by their own technology
most of these pics were taken in the mid 1990's as i can see, but today shooting those pics is much easier. just connect a (very good) digital camera to a pc which is connected to a trigger, might be a touch sensitive plate, a laser beam or a cute, red "don't panic"-button you smash with your hand. unfortunatly i don't have the equipment, but shooting such photos must be an interesting thing
As far as i know Loki is going to port Halflife and counterstrike to linux, the reason is popular demand:) i hope that more games will be ported to linux, for rebooting with windoze to play a game annoys me pretty much
As i personally do most if my work on Solaris (well, in my ISP job there's hardly an alternative, at loeast in my company) and I must say, although i personally like GNOME very much, I don't understand the neccessity for Gnome on Solaris. Let's be honest: Most sysadmins don't need GUI's. They are (most times) not stable, they consume disk space and CPU time. I don't know many solaris machines that run a GUI. Solaris is not likely to become a desktop system either, and for people that do desperatly want a grafical interface, CDE is perfect. It is fast, it is stable and it does perfectly fit on top of Solaris.
Don't get me wrong, i don't have anything against Gnome (i also use it on my linux machine at home) but porting it to Solaris makes no sense for me.
if such high velocities are required to ignite the scarmjet, how will they do it in the future. firing it out of a cannon doesn't seem reasonable for me if you want to transport fragile goods such das humans. i heard rumors of bringing the scramjet equpped vehicle to high stratosphere with a carrier aircraft and then drop it to gain speed, but that also seems to be a rough ride.
now i will have to trash my ipaq like i had to trash my m505, palmIII and Pocketviewer before...
as far as i can see the market for PDA will never be saturated enough to prevent companies to throw new tech on the market...
and waht about this merlin. i am perfectly satisfied with the wide array of applications for PalmOS (and WinCE - although its a crappy OS there are plenty of apps). Will Merlin be as well supported as these to OSes or will it be as proprietary as Casios Pocketviewer where the sync function was only used for syncing Outlook (no Linux support) for there were simply no apps i could sync? Oh yeah.. speech recognition... i think that changes EVERYTHING...
..Siemens hasn't abandoned the technology. Along with the local Viennese ISP Chello BroadBand they implemented a Internet over Cable TV and they go to great lenghts developing a system to cover a greater area by using local power lines. As far as I know their greatest problem is not with line noise but with repeaters that crash continuously (maybe because of power fluctuations)
i know that 1800ussearch searches nearly all public databases for information about a certain subject. in most coubntries in Europe thats illegal... hwo do you cope with that in america?
...Chello, an Austrian ISP is the worst of all.... Instead of providing me bandwith he is charging enormous amounts for a malfunctioning connection , spam and (although swearing not to do so) filtering my mail
i do not want to rip the companies off their profits. it would be better for the development of new threatment if all the medicines would be freely available, and the funding fome by, e.g some international agency. i know that this is only a illusion and the current system is better than nothing, but joint forces on threats like AIDS and Ebola would certainly better than everybody working in secret so that competitors don't have a chance to react
IMHO patents on medicine should generally be forbidden. I am of the opinion that human life should be protected by all means possible and it is no moral justification that companys make more money on the cost of patenting (and by doing so killing) people.
Of course the pharma producers must earn money, but to withhold vital medicine from dying people because of money is sick.
go on Brazil... hopefully other countrys will follow.!
.. microsoft sending mail bombs to, say linus thorvalds or alan cox? In some country's (like here in austria) you can get arrested for sending faked mail, and IMHO it is also very reasonable or do you want that somebody makes a statement in your name....
er... tell me if i'm wrong but haven't there been DVD Recorders around for quite some time? this link to an austrian computer store tells me that there are already DVD recorders for about $700. or is the HP recorder one with which i can also recorde TV shows?
Since GNU is NOT UNIX i think it is quite cool that original Unix Tools are Open source...
but what does that mean: HP-UX, AIX etc. also open source? aren't these systems also depending on the original unix programs or are these systems 100% proprietary?
.. proprietary movie format that will have to stand the "test of time" (ups, i hope sid maier and microprose won't sue me for this). i think that this idea is quite a drunk idea, now we don't have to rip the DVD's now we only convert the ripped movie:)
While the Cargolifter is certainly a great thing for lifting huge payloads, i think that smaller, unmanned zeppelins could also be used as relay stations for say, world wide cell phone coverage. they can climb to great altitudes and, in contrast to a balloon, can head in any direction thanks to motor power.
On the other hand side they are - at least as far i know - cheaper than the NASA aircraft.

yeah, it did, but the x-15 was rocket powered and not jet powered

i generally don't trash things because of the os, or do you always trash your pc when a new kernel arrives... its all about the cute hardware
1.3 ghz beats them all
now i will have to trash my ipaq like i had to trash my m505, palmIII and Pocketviewer before...

802.11b IS approved in Germany and Austria, i just read this here
Additionally, in the UK, 802.11b is NOT apprived for commercial use
The same is valid for Austria and Germany. I hope that worldwide standards will soon be developed so that we can avoid this "inconvenience"

i think the idea of generalizing human speech sucks. why should we make a standard how people have to speak and so on?
