The real cost for a megasite like Slash would in UPDATE on the database, which is always more expensive than insert. If you have reasonably good security (not just a cookie) for your authentication, then plausibly any user could edit their own comments.
I've occasionally wished that I could rewrite some of the hasty stuff I've written. Of course, I can also see where editing after the fact could change the nature of any thread that follows. Maybe it isn't such a good idea after all.
With Perl. Try asking on Perlmonks. Perl has modules for both database types, and handles to both databases can be opened simultaneously in a single script, reducing the need for intermediete format conversion. If there is a mapping of all datatypes, I have not worked with Postgres, then it should be doable.
I think the industry must grudgingly agree to this. They know that they are going to have to deal with direct electronic sales of the digital quality media at a fair price, and soon.
The focus, up until now, has been prevention of copying. But the focus which is just around the corner, imho, is indellible identification of all copies with the original purchasers signature.
So, dont give up hope, all you music lovers. Soon all you need is your digital id card and you too can have 10 cdroms for only a penny! Get your friends to join today and get 1/2 price on your next download.
Can someone explain the bit from the article about how venus could never be properly tracked before this? I never knew that satellites use stars to track planets, but I guess it makes sense. What made it work this time with no tracking star?
From Dr. Benkler's article: At all these levels, the fundamental commitment of our democracy to secure "the widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources"
Clearly, your posting holds to this statement. I mean, did you even read it? Should everything now be disallowed for the sake of the potential threat? What about elections, for example? There's always the threat of disruption there.
Anyways, from what I understand of CDMA, the transmission devices are traceable and identifiable, and will be throttled automatically via lost channel(s) when the board goes full.
I only hope one of our distinguished RF's comes along to debunk this in a cleaner and more learned manner than my own.
Again, methinks you doth protest too much, Mr. Bell.
The hype of G3 features caused alot of companies to pay way too much for bandwidth just a few years ago. Now they are facing major financial difficulties to make payments for bandwidth that noone is using.
This is big bucks in the Euro govt. coffers, which is more than what US gets for it's bandwidth, but it is a good example of an overvalued asset, imho.
Now I dont really know where I was going with all this.
I had mine (7110) more than 3 years before I finally replaced it. Mostly because it didn't have a proper modem on the IR. But also because I dropped it one too many times. Good phone tho. I miss it.
I believe this was the only model which had a sliding face, and was the same one used in The Matrix, and several other hep techno movies.
Yea, maybe. But as I understand it, it's a key harvester, too. Discretionary deployment for court approved surveillance is one thing, but arbitrary PGP key harvesting, and keyboard logs mailed to the feds... well, that might get me upset.
In any case, the first bad guy who spots it using tripwire or some other checksumming tool with half a brain will publish it immedietly. It's just not a good time for keystone cops right now.
Not when were delivering justice across the world.
It's really only about protocols. iMode has one, GSM has one, and PCI has one. They compete for attention, and acceptance. Theres only one eventual winner, of course, but noone is willing to give up.
The best designs are not compatible into the US market, because it just takes too much extra weight, heat, and bulk to build phones which are world-usable. With the exception of a few GSM1800/1900 phones out there, I dont think many of the players are too interested. They are much too busy trying to fit G2.5 G3, CDMA and every other over-hyped protocol through the eye of the needle right now.
Like I said, it's been awhile. I guess PS never made it, no big money in it, natch. But I have illustrator for unix, anyways. There are really two issues to this, one localization to country/language, and the other cross-platform. The country/language part is perhaps easier with Java, but the core is the core, and the UI is easier to port, than to face the cost (and bloat alright? I said it. so slay me) of a java core.
Is Java the only viable language for writing truly multi-lingual applications?"
Disclaimer - I been out of the shrinkwrap game for awhile. The following may be out of date.
Most commercial apps I've worked with have a core in C or C++, then port the UI to whatever is available. Nearly all Adobe apps, for example, have a cross-platform core, and a localization specific to platform. Macs get MPW code (and alot of Rezedit), Windows gets VC + properties files (or whatever windows gets these days), and Unix gets X (or your favorite UI API).
Nowadays, string localizations may be done more and more in the specific country, but this is possible in Java as well.
Sigh, most real client app companies (in my limited experience) which are truly shipping to more than a very few countries are still willing to trade off the pain of porting the UI for the stability of the shared core in C or C++.
The great part about java is still that it can be an dynamically configurable server app for many languages and people at the same time. That could be the way of the future, or not. I aint gonna wax philosophical in Developers.
This sounds pretty nice. We've already sold our souls to BEA, but having used Resin and Tomcat for production deployment before BEA, we are not afraid to try something new. BEA is still not doing for us what we expected, especially in it's loadbalancing and proxying capabilities. The Apache integration for BEA requires a new vhost for every single cluster, and the "load balancing" is simple round-robin. It sounds like this JBoss has that beat already.
An apache integration is important for us, however, since apache is our frontline proxy. Anyone know if JBoss has an apache module yet?
Playing the waiting game with the rest of the crowd could possibly increase Redhat's eventual liability to their own customers, even if it was the right thing to do.

Stick with light cotton and layers in the desert. Black rubber, while quite stylish, is simply not workable.
Looks like they gotta go EVA

I found an article which says that this corn doesn't cross-breed anyways. IANAB, as usual. But why is this a risk?
3. Wait 40 more years
Sure they do. They just wanna find a way to mark your copy with your permanent signature. Then they'll sell you anything you want.

Er, K5? Enlighten us newbies?
Sigh, this is another great American spectacle curtailed for the sake of our "safety". First fair trials, now this, whats next? Elections?
I guess it's fortunate they don't have to meet some of their customers in person. There are some really angry people out there right now.
Better buy your accelerator cards, before they become illegal.
Well, RH is not linux. And neither is WU-FTPD.

New Scientist is a pretty hep mag, tho. Maybe it's worth following this for the eventual IPO. :)
