If this phone lasts 5 years, it could very well be the best made phone in existence. The contract only applies to the original iPhone, I doubt Jobs gave them exclusive access to iPhone v2.0 and iPhone Nano as well. I'm waiting for the iPhone Shuffle personally. The one w. no screen and just send & end buttons. Every time I press the send button, it randomly dials phone number on my contact list.
They would've ported it to Linux anyway. Now they just don't have to. Maybe saved Microsoft some bucks, that's all there is. Please name me one product MS has ported to Linux. (and not a product that might have had a Linux version before they bought it)
If anyone ported it, Novell would be the most obvious candidate given their agreements.
Just the government is getting it's cut in the action from all sides usually there. And that would be different from the US how? The difference is the government is taking money from 2 or more companies in a given area that are competing for customers, rather than giving a local monopoly to 1 company.
So, it's banned in our house until they come up with a way to give parents the ability to limit what goes on, or ensure that children are safe. "Player X wants to have cyber sex. Cancel or Allow?"
Well, uh, those are the terms of the contract. It's not like Bill G held a gun to Novell's head and forced them to sign a contract. These are the terms of the deal, which I assume was negotiated in (mostly) good faith, and each side got something they wanted. It's called business. Deal with it. Homer: "I reluctantly accept your proposal!"
They could record hashes of any removed content, and compare new uploads with the list of banned hashes. What if someone converts to a new format or removes.5 sec of footage to shorten it? The hash would now be different.
I think they might be on to something... its quite possible that natural selection is wrong, given that people this stupid exist! Otherwise their ancestors would have been eaten by bears.
Also, they probably feed their plants with Brawndo: "Its got what plants crave!"
...of course, you are assuming the poster is *male*. The OP states: I'm apart of an Enterprise network support group and we have zero women involved. and And finally we, the men,
The first statement says there's no women, therefore either he's male or a eunuch. The second statement, he includes himself in the set of men and is therefore not a eunuch. The only assumption would be that the OP isn't lying.
If so, why? Yes, sometimes. To make to people and/or businesses paying to advertise on those "sites" have to pay more for the clicks. Just middle-click in FF and close the tab that pops.
Who gives a shit? Let's just grit our teeth and fucking book it through the next one and a half years. Maybe, because the courts that rule on these cases, usually take precedent into consideration. If you let them set short-sighted precedents now, it will affect decisions later. I.E. Congress was allowed to extend copyright protections in the past, and therefore the SCOTUS ruled that as long as the amount of time is "limited" then Congress could extend again. They could in theory kept tacking on 20 years to the limit and it would still be "limited".
Finding Nemo was a Pixar movie. Disney had nothing to do with the creation or story. Disney was only the distributor of Pixar movies up until they were bought.
Yea...Like Disney had no interaction with Pixar on the movie. Pixar just made a movie and Jobs showed up a Eisner's office one day with a completed movie saying "You wouldn't wanna distribute this for us, perchance?"
Maybe with enough extra velocity to pass the two Voyagers by the 23rd century. Maybe with enough extra velocity to pass the two V'gers by the 23rd century.
But, you know, give them a hard date by which everyone should be using Google Apps (oh, there's always problem workers but leave that to middle management).
Usually middle management *are* the problem workers.
I count only 4 attacks on U.S. soil before Sept. 11, 2001 since 1920, 2 (possibly 3) of which were by Americans citizens. The attacks outside of our country are much harder to prevent without going outside our jurisdiction.
There were no attacks from 1995 (OK. City until 2001) and the indication is that the potential for the attack on 9/11 was known but ignored. Since that time the first world trade center bombing in 1993 all we get is reactive measures, and very little proactive measures to security. Only now when some detail comes out about a potential threat, everyone freaks out, and there is a larger knee-jerk reaction, and then everything goes back to the way it was 6 months ago. For example, after the attempt with shoe bomb, we had months of taking shoes off before boarding planes, then there was the "explosives" in water bottles, no carry-on containers.
I think the problem is administration wants to be seen to do something, so does the things that affects us the most directly and therefore most visible, rather than the things that prevent then from happening.
For the Linux enthusiasts reading this, don't be offended. Just because I'm suggesting Linux to become a division of Microsoft, it doesn't mean I'm condoning a closed source environment for Linux.
This statement alone proves the author's ignorance concerning "Linux". It would be impossible for Microsoft to own Linux by buying up the top 5 or top 50 linux distros or even every distribution ever. The distro entities (be they companies like Red Hat, organizations like Debian or just Joe Blow rolling his own distro) do not own the software themselves (they might own portions, installers, clustering software, etc), but they do not own the kernel, X.org, KDE, Gnome, or the 1000's of pieces of software available to use and therefore neither would Microsoft. At best, Microsoft could influence the direction those particular distro's went. If any of the the distro entities sold to Microsoft there would be fork to "free versions" of the distro, such as Red Hat EL to CentOS or White Box.
So what would Microsoft gain from buying any of the Linux distros available that they couldn't just start doing themselves? They could simply follow what Oracle did and fork Red Hat (or Novell, etc).
Compiling takes forever even on a dual dual core machine and if one package fails I have to figure out how to fix it until I can continue compiling
In case you weren't aware, emerge --resume --skipfirst will skip the failed package and go on. Then, while continuing to compile other updates you can figure out what went wrong with the failed package.
Ironically, their National Anthem begins with "Arise, Ye who refuse to be slaves!..."
Actually, this is intentional. It's so when a dissenter tries to start a rally, the crowd thinks he's singing the National Anthem and then they join in. :-)
I'm just saying that nobody has the right to blame TrollTech that there was never a Windows version of Qt.
There has been Qt/Windows available for a while from TT. They just never made it available without licensing as a free license,even for GPL projects. It was only recently that they have changed this.
The first versions of Qt had only two flavours: Qt/X11 for Unix and Qt/Windows for the Windows platform. The Windows platform was only available under the proprietary license. In the end of 2001, Trolltech released Qt 3.0 which added support for the Mac OS X platform. The Mac OS X support was available only in the proprietary license, until June 2003, where Trolltech released the version 3.2 with Mac OS X support available under the GPL license.
This could work out for the best. Just think , then the cost of buying the games plus expansion, and monthly fees could be deducted as expenses. Not to mention in the case of WoW, the GP spent in training abilities and getting epic mount so I can run the instances and BGs that get the loot to pay taxes on.
Honestly, though how could this work? I could potentially form my own company to play WoW and sudden the cost of meals while eating and playing, electricity and computer upgrades all business-related. Now, I'm looking at a net loss as a company therefore no taxes.
To be honest with you, I don't have a problem with taking power away in principle, for the same reason that I think it's a good idea that drivers have licenses. You can't have a secure network that relies only on the good will and competence of the users.
The GP's point is that the decision is taking away even from the Administrators and left completely with the TC group. If a company has a custom app they have written in house and wanted to run, well too bad because it have not been signed off by the TC hardware group. Also, just because TC group has signed off on an app does not mean it is 100% bug free either.
Not everyone needs nor should have the power to do anything with their computer, because that power will be used for malicious ends without the user's awareness. Experience has demonstrated this conclusively.
This statement indicates you don't understand what the GP is saying. He is not advocating the the computer always be allowed to run any code, but that in a similar way of using self-signed certificates for SSL or like having firewall that asks whether particular apps can access the network, an method is availble to run other code approved by the administrator (think server admin, not joe six-pack at home using the admin user for everything).
This is the sorta thing that should be in an extension! Exactly how often do most people REALLY need to share to bookmarks? Most of the *features* being added to Firefox2 already were extenions and probably should be left that way. If they want to include them, make them default extensions that can be unloaded if not needed or used.
What I like about Firefox is that I can have it setup completely different at work and at home. Being able to have different extenions for different styles of usage is an asset to the application. Otherwise Firefox is going to come full-circle and become the very thing that spawned its existance.
