Having different mobile telephone standards is like having different networking standards. On the Internet we all use TCP/IP. Feel free to go back to ipx/spx/banyan/netbeui/whatever archaic networking protocol you want.
In Europe, we all use GSM for our mobiles and soon, GPRS. Then once the telcos have paid off the loans for those rediculously large 3G licenses we might have a world wide standard in 50 years.
If I have a site describing how dreadful pornography is, I don't want some other twat coming along and linking words to sex sites.
It utterly changes the meaning of the text. I have nothing in particular against pornography or in fact people who hate pornography, i'm just using it as an example.
Oh and don't tell me that trojan/virus writers won't find this xml file to be a fantastic target for exploitation.
Usenet is different to mail or web. It has different advantages and disadvantages. The search engine is a massive advantage for finding useful information.
Some groups have spammer accounts pulled within minutes of the spam being posted. They don't get spammed often.
Trolls and flame wars are easily filtered. SLRN scoring on Linux or nfilter filtering on Windows.
With hardware this cheap, the machines are disposable. You don't fix them, you throw them away and put ina new one. You also don't put the critical stuff on a single system, you build redundancy into your network so that is a box fails, nobody notices.
As a British subject I don't really have a choice (Until Scotland declares independance and becomes a republic) but you Auzzies *voted* to remain subjects!
He *literally* doesn't know what he's talking about. The spreadsheet example just proves the point. It's a really bad example of application components and middleware creating complex systems.
In business you want to share information between business departments and different applications. You'd use some sort of middleware system to share the information. Invoicing information, financial results, dispatch confirmations etc. You wouldn't rent an algorithm the way he's describing. There's a short article at http://www.yelm.freeserve.co.uk/middleware/ which describes how middleware can be helpful.
Thing is, it isn't even that difficult to set up your own middleware system. I assembled my own because the commercial systems were so expensive. It's just a news server and some scripts but it works and handles hundreds of messages per day. (http://www.yelm.freeserve.co.uk/appsnet/)
With the openadaptor stuff (http://www.openadaptor.org/) application integration is getting easier and easier. What's.Net for again?
Middleware's once of the nicest types of software you can use when you want to automate operations across diseparate networks, platforms and applications.
For those who don't know, middleware is like STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR. The bits that join the pipe together.
It's also usually very expensive, I rolled my own for home use (http://www.yelm.freeserve.co.uk/appsnet/) using suck/rpost and INN but I suspect this openadaptor stuff will be right on the ball.
The books are fantastic (Note for Merkins: That's a "pun") but films never measure up to the book so it's *bound* to be a disappointment. Who wants to go to the cinema to be disappointed?
I think I might just get the books out and re-read them.

They used to use flash for *everything* with a dozen frames on each page. It was sooo bad that I phoned up their sales line and persuaded them to put me through to their director, gave him a bollocking before I called their tech support line and asked to talk to the moron who designed the site.

Well, it's not working, now, is it?

Jeez, when are manufacturers going to learn?
I'll just bet that the next generation of GPRS and UMTS phones will be hacked to death because the manufacturers forgot about security.
Having inspected their site, I don't need their software.
No big loss.

How stupid Microsoft are.
I'll just point out that you're attributing an unwarranted level of competence to the various "Intelligence" communities.
*Much* nicer. *Much* faster.
Thanks Mozilla folks.
WTF have free market economics and freedom of speech got to do with DNS?
You're advocating god damned chaos as a good way of managing networked systems on a global scale?
christ.
I think ICANN is fucked up, the current DNS heirarchy is fucked up but making it more fucked up is *not* progress.
HTH
My take on the whole DNS fuckup that we're currently living with.

Anyone else see the irony in Russia being the first country start doing space tourism? Ahead of America, that bastion of the free market.
More power to the Russians.

That's all you have to do.

They make money on the games. Games hardware is heavily subsidised.
But if they are using commodity hardware then why not port Linux and use this heavily subsidised hardware for something more useful.
Want a *really* cheap web server farm? Supercomputer? Go by 500 Xboxes and load Linux/Apache/Beowulf. Clean out your local computer store.
Boy, I could see Dell/Compaq being pissed.

Yup. This is a troll.
More likely a Lovecraft fan.

Send a mail to all the addresses I can find and tell them that I'm off to a competitor who's site does work.
Seems to do the job.
No wonder you have problems with really big words like colour and aluminium.
Or maybe you're referring to the spelling of people named Britt?
Get a spamtrap account into their database. You then won't get any mail from them.
