This is an important development in the world political scene. At the end of the day if there was another long term issue between the europeans and the americans the americans could really screw with people by giving them the wrong coordinates etc. Having a dual system benefits more than just the europeans as more people can use it and better satelite coverage if the systems are compatibile
Dont you mean rather than certify the programs for linux certify them for Redhat?
Thats really what redhat is all about.. If you want to use enterprise linux your stuck with old versions of software that often may not have the functions et that you require (see Redhat ES3.0 with PHP / GD etc.
Maybe Redhat can supply newer binaries and source packages so that you can still get support for newer revisions of software if you require it. Makes it much more attractive as a corporate package then.
At the end of the day there is no way there is a Top20. There has been so much good and bad software written some bad software even has been very innovative and often has features/taken stolen from it for better future software products.
Where is the top 100 software programmers.. that would at least be more including and give a better all round result of the industry.
Its a shame that DEC / Compaq and now HP have not really supported one of the most advanced and stable operating systems the world has ever seen. Having been a long term alpha processor / server user with both OpenVMS and Tru64 it was such a shame what happened to DEC, Alpha, OpenVMS, Tru64. It just goes to show that at the end of the day the best products may not survive.
That is true but we need to have a joint attack against spammers otherwise there is simply no use in having any work done on battling it. the cost to the community of spammers is more than it would cost to ellimiate at least a large portion of it.
You dont have to worry about china and korea russia if the rest of the world wont recieve emial from them based on rbls etc etc. its an idealistic view but it could work if people where serious about cutting the costs of the impact of spam. Think about it most isps would only need 386 mail servers again;) heheh.
At the end of the day Kazza has probably done more good work for the music industry than damage. Most of the people downloading music on kazza would be sub 24. And more often than not the music isnt of the best quality encoding.. often taking several downloads to find the righ copy. I know that all of my fellow users download the music they like then go and buy it from itunes or whatever other music service they choose. That way they are supporting the artists without having to buy a crap cd with 10 tracks you dont want for the one song you do.
In the UK its been shown that record sales are actually UP.. so what is all the waste of time about? battle of the corporate greed.
Its one companies greed over another. at the end of the day I would expect that a fair percentage of people actually buy the music after downloading it from kazza. I know that I do that.. download all the songs I like.. check them out.. then buy them on a per song basis from other online music retailers. I hate buying cds because most of the time they include 10 songs i dislike and one or two songs I do like. Massive waste of money for one or two songs. If I really like the artist then ill buy the cd out of principal to support them. Unfortunatly alot of the Supporting them money goes to the record companies. Often when they do sfa promotion for these artists etc etc.
I feel that kazza is better for the music industry than it is bad. This has been seen by increased record sales in the UK and many other markets world wide.
The internet should have some serious design changes from an ISP perspective. We should look at making sure that all large ISPs use RBLs, have SMTP rate limiting imposed on customers accounts and block outbound dst_port 25 on all routers. That could then be lifted in the event of an application from users that require the use of a home adsl/soho mail server etc.
The work required initially and maintaining the list would take some time and resources but in the end the reduction of spam across the internet would be significant.
DDoS'ing spam providers just makes everyone just as bad as eachother (not really in my opinion but in theory). At the end of the day we should all make a concerted effort at reducing the amount of spam on the internet. Simply by using RBLs across the board the result would be phenominal especially when the bigger the ISP the bigger the reduction in spam being recieved. Less over heads using rbl instead of spamassassin/imms etc.
I know on my personal server with aroun 100 users and 10-15 domains I get around 60k of email a week and about 2,000 emails are legit..
The pros and cons of this is that it reflects badly on the linux community because a fair few rebel users have decided to deface sco's web page. Alternativly is it really the linux community or could it be a conspiracy to try and blacken the linux community. There are to many questions that things like this raise and are difficult to answer but overall the security hole should now be resolved and therefore not occur again.
This is just another classic example of corporate greed. Realistically the music divion and the mp3 playing division are run as separate companies but in the end the profit margins of each reflect on eachother. Traditionally Ive loved all the sony gear Ive purchased. But recently Ive not been impressed. Long delay times often being behind the market trends etc.. great quality when it comes out.. if it comes out..
I wish kazza / sharman networks good luck in the battle that will continue for some time im sure.
The biggest issue with CSI is that it is so unbelivable it may as well be a comedy. If you watch the show as a comedy its rather amusinc realising that the guy can see gun powder residue on a towel at 200meters always amazes me.
Maybe its the cool computer animations that accelerate his eyesight.. maybe the xfiles can investigate the guys eyesite as another conspiracy.
Its always amusing when people classify plants they dont like as weeds even though the likelyhood is that the plant has been there from before man was even a fish. Just because you dont like plants of specific types doesnt mean its a weed.
A weed is a plant that doesnt grow native in a particular area.
The reality about the NHS is that they are strugling in most hospitals to cover costs with spiraling law suits and other issues plauging the system why would they go out and commit to such a long term contract when in reality will the NHS be around in the same form in 9years? If it is they will be x grade hospitals instead of b grade hospitals with few exceptions.
Linux/Opensource software has been getting alot of good press in relation to the graphics and image processing functions. Companies using linux clusters to process massive cgi arrays etc. Its only a logical area for adobe to want to tap into.
I personally have been now using Slackware + KDE for well over a year as my pure solution. it works.. its reliable and im yet to have a crash.
Why wouldnt adobe want to open up more business chanels. from the other side of the table it also raises the linux / open source publicity and it works best for both players.
Its not about killing microsoft its about giving the consumers more options and a better level of freedom. Hopefully OpenSource can remain free for the long term as these big companies get involved.
Im sure that this is not a new invention. Im pretty confident that this was out in the 70s/80s by one of the BIG ones.. Phillip whatever i think it was..
AMD really need to look at creating a multi-OS optimised compiler. Or activly support the GNU / gcc so that anyone can compile binaries that are compiled specifically for the AMD-64/Athlon whatever.
Then all the coders need to do is write the code that can be optimised best. The Intel C compiler does magic on intel processors in linux etc the performance difference is clear.
that there needs to be a huge increase in ways to combat identify theft, ways to make it more difficult to steal identies of people. realistically there is no bulletproof way but the more difficult it gets the better it is as less people will have the means to commit the crime and less people would hopefully be affected.
Are trade mark cases normally looked into via the gov. Its my understanding that for patent and trademark issues the owner has to launch the law suit to follow it up...
This may work sometimes but often the source of spam/spim is from outside of the US. What are they going to do then. Put in filters to block all international traffic because its impossible to sue.
Perhapse we will get lobby.aol.com as a US lobby group with an emphasis on porting American Antispam/antispim laws to other countries.
Im not american. But the call centre issue is not only a hot topic in the US. The UK are following the US's way and setting up call centres in india/etc etc..
Its always interesting to see that most often than not the quality of service depreciates and the profits of the companies increase. This has been discussed several times in slashdot previously. But the real issue is that the tax loop hole gets closed so that companies can benefit less from moving people off shore. Yeah it may benefit the indians to some extent but there are 1bn of them and most of thier call centre staff are not perfect english speakers. I recently rang a UK based company that had thier call centre in india to find that hte person had such bad english I had to ask for someone else. I had to go through three people to find someone. In the end I cancelled my account in favor of not even having that type of service any more. In principal I will deal with as few internationally based call centres as possible.
Go Kerry.. I wont vote in the US election but the principal stands strong.
Cray was at one time the fastest system.. then it went belly up.. now its back.. lets hope its here to stay for the long term. With some of the technology flowing through it would be a great thing for the industry.
~If only HP would keep the Alpha on and continue the development rather than crush one of the only real risc procs.
It maybe a good solution but isnt the whole point of email that its globally compatible with open standards. Yes that may have been the failings of smtp/standard email delivery with the massive increase in spam. But realistically having a patent based email system inhibits the majority of email on the internet.
I personally dont know of any ISPs that use exchange as thier ISPs platform. the only large scale internet exchange setup that I know of is hotmail...
So in microsoft and aol trying to adopt this system whats going to happen to email in the future?
There is nothing wrong with things like this. If you steal from a shop then they have the right to know who you are. But at the same time how are the record companies going to proove that the user is legit and not just a vendetta against a user.
Plus its been proven that in the UK the record sales are UP rather than down. (thanks to the 40+ record buing growth sector).
This is a classic example of how humans are.. Microsoft give us alot (in vulnerabilities) that cant be exploited until the user downloads a file. So its not the browser thats at fault its the user... This is just like the pinto.. the car wasnt going to blow up unless the other driver was crap.
Is this the response to what the industry has been saying for many years about the x86 / performance limitations. Couple intels egotistical approach to the market.
This has been seen with the Opterons onchip memory management etc etc. There is always room to grow sideways which results in an upwards growth.
