Btw they'll probably keep the cost down by using netbook cpu/gpus. So yea you can have a 27" iMac that does 2560x1440 with a quad core i5 for $1700 or a 27" tv set running at 1920x1080 with a net book stuck to the back for probably $800. Different strokes and all that...
"If you think that Liberal or Conservative means anything other than flip sides of the same rotten corrupted coin, you're kidding yourself and lying to everyone including yourself."
They both may be greedy to the core parties when it comes to staying in power and doing favors, but if you paid even the slightest bit attention to how they vote on many key issues your statement couldn't be further from the truth.
The aforementioned iPod Touch has a neat remote wipe feature. You can go to apple's site, see exactly where your iPoe is on a map, remote lock it, send a message to the screen, and initiate a remote wipe of all your user data. It requires of course the thief be on wifi but I'm sure sooner rather than later they would have that online. Pretty neat for free.
That's specific to certain devices not all IOS 5 devices which is a shame because there isn't a reason why for example the Touch shouldn't have full gesture support. You need may likely need to jailbreak your device to get any sort of gestures working.
Well at least the big price drop part. Ignoring the specifics its like wishing for Ferrari's to drop down to Accord prices. Both products perform the same basic purpose but one uses much different engineering to accomplish the same task. You can make the Ferrari engine cheaper by mass producing it, but it's just always going to be really expensive to produce no matter what. Same thing with SSDs.
Oh how I long for cheap 1TB SSD drives and Gigabyte ethernet Internet wide...
Like the quote in the article said its "more of a pinhole than a crack". It needs very specific circumstances and also need you to use TKIP vs AES. I'm not sure about as of today but in regarding to that article WPA with AES=secure.
The real problem isn't anything to do with WPA, its with companies like Verizon who in modern times have the stupidity to use WEP. If its not WPA2 compatible throw it in the garbage.
"Pretty much Everywhere, laws are not created to give people the freedoms to live the life that they choose, they are created to radically socially engineer a population according to specific mores that the 'elites' prefer"
There, fixed that for you.
Save the liberal rhetoric for the Rush Limbaugh call-ins.
There I said it. Cut the balls off enough of these people who treat millions of people's important personal property like a plaything and maybe they'll start having second thoughts. I'm tired of it being so easy to reach out an fuck with something that at this point is so critical to most individuals daily lives. And while we can blame MS and the user, lets not forget who the real culprit is. The time and money and IT frustration that results from the work of these assholes is immeasurable.
You don't see criminals thinking they can walk down the street and then try to break into every single house in a city and then squat in every one that has an unlocked door. I don't know why anyone ever thought it was ok to do the equivalent in the digital domain. I blame not strong enough penalties at the start of pc hacking. If we had started with fingers we probably wouldn't have ever even had to go to balls. But here we are so I vote, balls.
Can you tell I had to deal with with someone's malware infested pc who had no backup recently?
On any decent cable connection or with something like fios this will eat up like 20GB+ a month. That's actually not a lot but still if you are running near some sort of cap with your isp I'd avoid it.
The router btw seems to get pretty good reviews and its 300Mb N, does open source firmware, and has some really nice features. Much better than what I would have thought they would be using. Then again maybe they are using it specifically because of an open source firmware that can be cutomized.
But I thought everyone liked seeing Firefox hang with....Transferring data from ssl.google-analytics.com.... displaying and having the webpage only partially open? And of course being tracked is fun as well. Everyone loves being tracked. Who wants free cookies!
I doubt he doesn't understand how cruise control systems work. I'm quite sure he can build one out of paperclips. He just may not have been aware(read:not read the manual) of how the "adaptive" cruise control works on his Prius since its new and probably way different from any cruise control system he has ever used.
If you work on PCs even infrequently this is a must have tool. Yea a multimeter is great but a) you need to know how to use it and b) you can push the probe into the wrong place and make a mess of things.
With hardware its usually bad psu, then bad memory, then bad caps.
5, 10, 20, and 40GB with 40GB being the top plan? These are plans appropriate for cell phones, not computers let alone entire households. I thought the Comcast 250GB plan should have been 300GB. 10GB a day seems fair to me. The TWC numbers are absurd.
These numbers are unrealistic and out of touch with the trend for moving everything to the cloud. Think this will be good for Hulu, Netflix, and the Itunes Store? How about the Xbox Live store where you can download many Multi GB games? How about Flickr? How about the growing trend of people who are giving up traditional TV and now using the Internet only as their source for Video entertainment?
And the pricing? $30 to $55 is way out of line for what you get. Any more then $9-$15 a month for the 5GB-10GB plans is out of line. When my family moves next, anywhere that is stuck with TWC as their sole provider will be completely off the list of possibilities. That is how important reasonable internet access is to me.
When Comcast announced their Cap to what had previously been unlimited access, we all feared others would adopt this model. If TWC goes through with this you can expect others to follow. Let's hope they come to their senses or are run out of business by their competitors, whichever comes first.
Very well said. Ubuntu has yet to be the most popular desktop for as long as Red Hat Linux was the most popular Linux desktoop distro.
Linux on the desktop is very much doable right now if you are Ok with its limitations. 98-99% of users are not Ok with it's limitations. I don't know if that number is going to change much anytime soon. But with everything going to the cloud you never know.
"tells people being born in the US somehow makes you special and you don't have to work as hard."
You think we don't work hard in the US? We work harder and longer hours with less vacation that any other civilized country. Americans are killing themselves working hard just like their parents did. Maybe now they take a bit longer to reach maturity but once they do, think 30 instead of early 20's, everyone I know pretty much works their asses off trying to get ahead. Then again I don't live where school boards fight Evolution, so maybe it's a Regional thing.
Anyway there is for sure a sense of entitlement out there but most adults I know work plenty hard and are very much concerned about the state of this country and where its going. Neocons who constantly push for their own entitlements to the exclusion of all others obviously excluded.
You want to go from 2 servers to 1 server??? AD works and is easy to setup. Add a 3rd newer server to take on whatever demands you think these 2 older servers can't handle. Throw in DFS and you have a reliable fully redundant network that can handle just about anything you want.
What the reason for switching? Wanting to get rid of CALs? Problems figuring out AD? I'm just curious because your talking about investing a TON of salary into redoing the entire network when you possibly don't have to. It would be one thing if you or someone on staff had a lot of experience with AD alternatives but that really doesn't seem to be the case. Your just hoping to find out what might be a good alternative and going to just "figure it out as you go along". That is not a recipe for success. Sorry if I'm sound harsh but I've been there and done that and you don't want to spend 6 months struggling with something you have zero experience with when you can spend a month on something you already know.
If the AD install is truly fucked then I guess keep researching if you want. But otherwise if you have 2 working reliable networks your making a really big mistake redoing the whole thing just to go FOSS. This goes double if your 100% Windows on the client side. And trust me this is coming from someone who has been pushing OSS on the server front for 10 years.

I guess you probably know better than me, but some googling shows at least some people setting up a wireless client briding with openwrt.
According to the person in the article even a 10 hour game is fine with them as long as it's "awesome".
Hey game devs, don't go reading into this thinking you can charge $50-$59 for a 10 hour game.
30+ hour games are what I want for my dollar.

You shouldn't bother reasoning. Certain people can't be reasoned with and will just believe whatever Fox News et al tells them to.
Oh and there are no more real Republicans left. They should just rename themselves the extremist "just say no to everything sane" douchebag party.
