Over the recent few months I have noticed a trend begining on my small to medium sized web applications. I have now began to get an increased amount of people coming from MSN while the numbers of google visitors has been stable. That can mean many things however I tend to think that it means that MSN is begining to catch up with google as far as web search content is concerned. In many other areas Microsoft is not really a direct competitor to Google (well at this stage).
As issues like this are becoming more and more common internet law neutral hosting enterprises are starting to sprout up in places that would normally have fishing communities as their primary income. As governments begin to make laws and regulate more and more information across the internet it will only force these new "bastions" will begin to flourish. In many ways it will benefit the internet more and more to have more of these friendly countries hosting content that cannot be seized.
Having insecurity is a plus to the world as it raises peoples awareness of issues and in the long term security should hopefully improve. "hackers" will get better and better to keep one step in front but at the end of the day if the user is well protected then they will be at a lower risk than those that use windows 2000 or redhat 5.2 with no patches.
The real issue here is that there are so many people that are vocally against patents on the internet but realistically how many of those are actually consulting with their Members of the European Parliment. I have recently asked how many people had actually contacted my MEP in the UK and the response was very few. If we want to make our point of view heard you will need to make it public WRITE a letter and post it to your MEP, Email them, and bombard the local news papers with information otherwise whats the point if nobody actually hears about the battle?.
Realistically I feel that if IBM really want to premote the Power line or processors they will have to have a Apple style lower end system that can be purchased at a reasonable price. That will get people to buy.. Especially if for a time you could run MacOSX Linux, AIX , xBSD and whatever other Operating systems run on the PPC reliably.
Many personal blogs are of little interest to the wider population. However there are some corporate blogs that interest not only it junkies but general news getters as well.
Markets will always go up and down, as soon as the press call it a boom everyone jumps on and increases the speed of the up and then what goes up must come down.. economics -101;)
I have used cartridge world in australia, UK and the US and never had any problems with printing out documents or photos. I have recommended them to everyone as Ive been so happy with the end product.
We only went to NetBSD in the last few weeks. That was after holding off and holding off for a stable 5.x branch. We understood that it was a developers release.
There has been some really good inroads with 5.x however it didnt suit our requirements as well as NetBSD.
I have been a FreeBSD server operating system user for a very long time. Over the period of my usage of FreeBSD I had been very happy with it. Then after 5.0 it has gone down hill. I have to agree with some of the points that people note in the article. The main one. It does appear as though they are trying to optimise the code that doesnt work rather than make it work. For example why are they working on 6.x already when there are so many problems in the 5.x one? are they just trying to move past a dead weight? Realistically they should have focused on getting 5.x to what FreeBSD uses have traditionally loved, a reliable fast, fully featured OS. I have moved many of my servers that require high performance systems to NetBSD and said goodbye to some of the problems. Of course NetBSD is not perfect but it handles what we need better than the previous installs of 5.x that we had. At the time we looked into going back to 4.x and Dragonfly but with tests on our hardware with 4.x failing it was a simple choice to go with NetBSD.
The real benefits of having multiple cores. Weather that is 2 4, 8, 16 or 32 or 128 at the end of the day those sorts of cores at this stage are really designed for the server market or workstation market rather than the gaming/home user/general office computer usage patterns.
having multiple cores will really benefit database applications, rendering etc. The other benefit would be the ability to brute force encryption in a much faster time if the application used to crack it was mt ready.
One of the issues with many government organisations is that the IT is not managed by a central location. Often policies differ from location to location, state to state etc. Having a uniform policy centrally managed across the entire organisation would be a good start for many government organisations that I have come into contact with when working with a tier 1 networking vendor.
Any research company should be legally able to patent any technology it invents. The technology then pays for the research investment through license fees. So the research firm can then invest in other technologies and the cycle could continue. it makes the whole system much less of a burden on the people paying taxes to fun the research.
There are certain things that really should have more uniform laws nationally. There can always be problems when the laws are so wildly different in different places. It makes business difficult at times and could have a negative impact on the economy because of the costs associated with having to know what laws in what states affect your business where it maybe legal where you operate from.
I work with two pakistani guys that are exceptional at what they do. I have had massive problems in the past with these "highly qualified" people not being as good as the "qualifications" claim. However there are always going to be good apples and bad apples in a barrel.
Ok, so you use windows if you wanted protection from virus's today beyond normal user intelligence you would have to pay other providers like trend, etc etc. Clearly there is already a market that microsoft wants to tackle.
I wonder how Trend and other companies stock prices have felt today.
One of the things that many people fail to mention. India is indeed pumping out these vast quantities of highly qualified people. The down side is that even if the industry grows at a massive rate and outsourcing continues there is no way that the world economy can sustain these new people joining the market every month. There is very little written about that aspect of the indian graduates. One of the issues that has increased the speed of out sourcing is that the indian rupee has dropped significantly against the US dollar in recent years. When it starts to rise again the cost of outsourcing and employing people in india will increase that could have both possitive and negative aspects on the sectors in question.
Cases like this are a case of smoke and mirrors with a bulk of press coverage. In the end it makes very little difference until we see a drop in the SPAM emails being recieved by our email boxes.
However on the plus side every little bit helps if we do see that little bit that these spammers have removed or potentially removed. Although im sure someone other spammer will probably just grow up and take over the room / bandwidth that the previous spamemrs where taking.
knowledge is a commodity, However one of the key issues that this raises is that researchers will potentially not have to research the same thing twice as the information may already be available to them through other "reliable" sources. This could potentially open up and increase the speed of research and in turn make discoveries that could potentially be as ground breaking as cures for cancer or something similar.
It seems that the majority of press is always objective rather than subjective when it comes to matters like this. Especially when they ignite flame wars.
Most of the articles like this will tend to have some good points but are then jacked up with bias that makes reading the article very subjective.
There really needs to be more objective press reports written that are peer reviewed before publication. Its not the most ideal solution but im sure there would be some dam fine articles printed.
The issue is that they are not updated so the issue is probably that they wont have installed SP2.. the cycle continues..:().
They really need to start making it so that you cant turn off the updates on home edition etc. I can understand corporates wanting to do still disabled patching etc and power users (maybe a registry hack or something). That way all systems get patched when they are on the internet. Its getting rarer and rarer that a home computer is not internet connected . its just a shame about the size of the downloads if you have a modem.
Taking all that into account I guess there is no perfect solution...

Many people that write code like the person in the article just dont get enough support from the open source users.

last time i checked there was no c:\ on FreeBSD but maybe im wrong ;)
