I take great pleasure having spammers accounts pulled. No, not their pretend disposable accounts. I mean the people buying the advertising.
We've found that ISPs are quite willing to pull accounts when several hundred people complain about a spam. It can also be fun having an ISP's connection shut down.
If a platform runs Windows software better than Windows then developers will only ever write Windows software, leaving said platform as a vaguely interesting curiosity.
The monopoly will only break when developers move away, and they'll only move when they have to.
You simply can't buy PPC motherboards for less than $2,500 at the moment unless you go to the hassle of buying an entire Apple Mac and chopping it for bits. That's a bit of a waste.
Seriously, this is a bit of a milestone. All the independant PPC boards have been around the $2,500 mark. The only way to get a cheaper one until now was to buy an Apple Mac and bin all the bits you don't want.
You've obviously no idea what you're on about. For a start, degree graduates get *graduate* membership, you numpty. It takes years of experience *working in the industry* to gain full membership.
Individual certifications are extremely limited. They really only tell you that someone has a passing familiarity with something. What employers really need are experienced and comptetent professionals. They should look more to professional qualifications. Organisations like the British Computer Society can provide these qualifcations. I'm sure the US has organisations which provide similar professional engineering qualifications.
Boot floppy, brings up network, contacts backup server, partitions disks, creates filesystems and begins restoring all the data from the backup server.
Seriously, no kidding. The pornographers have cracked the problem. They know how to make money out of the Internet where content can be copied perfectly.
Copy their business model.
Am I the only one thinking "network computer"?

It sounds like what the media companies really want are network computers or set top boxes, as defined over the last couple of years.
They *aren't* ubiquitous, despite being available more cheaply than PCs and offering more manageability and lower costs to corporations. This says to me *the public don't want it*.
The media companies want to limit access to their content? What's to stop them using the network computers that already exist and simply limit their content to those platforms? It could be done *right now* without the need for legislation.
I've pointed out the obvious solution before, much like your own trademark registry. I'm going to assume that the problem is laziness because the alternative reasons I have in mind are basically libelous. Ahem...
The people managing domains are lazy scrotes with no backbone or vision. Typical corporate management types really. The solution is so simple and so obvious that they can't possibly have missed it.
The solution is described here: http://www.yelm.freeserve.co.uk/dns/
It's a simple solution which would actually make registrars money, but it would mean that they'd have to do their jobs and validate domain creation requests.

You are not allowed to use the unlicesed bands "by way of business". Despite that, Boingo still included UK Consume nodes in it's database, without permission.
Check the Consume mailing list archive for the furore it caused.

Otherwise you're just paying for all the advertising and marketing budgets.
I find it very difficult to read. I have difficulty reading more than a couple of pages before wanting to put it down.
More a reference book I think.
In Northamptonshire in the UK, the number of deaths have doubled so far this year compared to last year.
Last year they put a load of static and mobile cameras all over the place. Basically, their "Safety camera" scheme has been a devastating failure.
Cameras have no effect on the casualty rate and are nothing more than revenue generation mechanisms.

Guaranteed denial of service. Yeah that'll go down like a lead balloon with system managers and administrators.
Great way to encourage the use of open sourced software. "Yeah, It's 100% guaranteed to fail in a year".
I have WinPT on my corporate Windows desktop: http://www.winpt.org/
I can now use GPG encryption with anything that can cut/paste.
There are similar frontends for Linux/Gnome/KDE etc.
Now that was a *really* bad movie. So bad that I kept thinking about getting up and leaving but couldn't because I wanted to see how bad it got.
All incompatible. I'm sick of it. I don't give a toss how good the software is.
I've switched to HTML for all documentation in the future and that's that.

There wouldn't be a return in cash terms within 2-3 years so they aren't going to be interested.

Would be handy actually.

Communist China insists on smart ID cards. Do we really want to go down that route in the UK?

1-2Mbps at long range. 11Mbps at short range.
The consume *network* doesn't exist yet. It's a work in progress.
Is stop including free WLAN sites in their database, especially after they've been asked to remove said entries.
