Guam and the other territories can vote in local elections only and in party primaries. The cannot vote for president at all. That is reserved solely for states and the District of Columbia.
But still an idiot backed by law if any NDA/Non-compete agreements were signed (article does not discuss)
From the article it was all oral and the Facebook person was working for free. Probably why the litigation has taken so long, since if it was written down who owned what this would be sorted out right quick like. As such it's devolved into a he/she said sort of argument with all the details are murkey.
I thought all OSes were required by law to support the DEC Tulip. It always seemed to be the only ethernet card other than the 3Com 3c59x cards that were supported on non-popular OSes (BeOS, Solaris x86, Plan 9, etc). I must be getting too old now.
For 32-bit processors it's called Physical Address Extension PAE. Any one process is still limited to only 4 GB of memory but the OS can have different 4 GB maps that are assigned to different processes. It theory it works well, in practice it's a pain in the ass.
The 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Server 2003 where the only versions of Windows would support EFI pre-Vista. But the Macbook's processors where only 32-bit.
The 64-bit version of Windows XP and Server 2003 support EFI on the Itanium releases only. The x64 versions still support BIOS only. Vista still does not support EFI on the x64 releases either.
Actually on Amtrak, you can start you're own railroad without they're approval, but you would need approval of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), just like a new airline would. Joining the Amtrak system would give you certain benefits, but it is not a requirement. The reason it isn't done more often is the current business environment it would be a money losing proposition to run your own. Amtrak needs massive public subsides to complete with the subsides given to cars and airplanes. It's also the reason all the private carriers dropped people transportation services when Amtrak was created; they were losing massive amounts of money doing so.
Also, you can start a baseball league without the express written consent of MLB (or even implied oral consent). Just look at the Independent Leagues. MLB does have an anti-trust exemption, but that relates to how it conducts its internal business (team moves, labor relations, etc) and nothing to do with them preventing competition from existing.
It's not that Windows asks you once for "sudo" permission to change a setting, it's that it asks you 10 times when you do things like change your IP address. Once is fine, 10 times is pointless.
The only PowerEdge OS option that is annoying that they don't support Windows XP on the boxes. I've got a number of places where the best place to put someone's machine is in the rack in the desk. Kind of sucks that if you install Windows XP you void the warranty.
compared to most Linux distros, installing software on Windows is a breeze
Spoken like someone who's never had a Windows install fail in 20 different ways on 20 machines that are imaged in exactly the same way. Or had a Windows app literally refuse to uninstall.
Linux has it's problems in the package distributions, but the total lack of a real package distribution in Windows is a serious failing. Windows doesn't even have anything close to RPM, apt, or portage. You're at the mercy of each vendor to do the right thing (and they all do something completely different since they there are no "right way" to do it). And I've yet to see a Windows package un-install correctly, they all leave litter around the registry or the file system.
It goes entirely against the original ideas of Linux. Linux was the result of many people from all over the world coming together to work with Linus's kernel code in order to create a stable and open source operating system. What ensued was marvelous, until the programmers decided to create more and more specialized distributions.
You're kind of new to this whole "Linux" thing. I think you should go lookup the early Linux flame wars, the initial 4 sets of distrubitions, how the userland was stolen from GNU/HURD since the whole "world coming together" quite frankly wasn't in that case. OSS software is all about different ideas, different approaches. What works is accepted, what doesn't gets dropped. There has never been a unified approach to Linux from day 1.
If you want a homogeneous architecture, where everything is done for you, buy a Mac.
Won't work if the pipe you're trying to use is flooded with useless data, since you're not actually stopping the attack at the source and your bandwidth is limited. You've only prevent them from getting into your network, not actually stopping the DOS which is kind of the point.
Congress pinching is probably wrong. The Republican 103rd congress decided not to pass any spending bills except those for DHS and DoD at the beginning of the last fiscal year in October. Everything else was a continuing resolution level funded at FY06 values. They left it to the Democrats in the 104th to pass the bills 5 months into the fiscal year to give them all sorts of headaches at the beginning of the new term. The Democrats took the political expedient tact of just saying FY07 is pretty much over now, level fund everything through FY07 at the FY06 numbers and then look at FY08 as the first big budget battle. (Hence the presidents first budget released yesterday for FY08).
It's sad, but that's how our government works, or more likely doesn't.
Ummm.....NET 3.0 was easy cause it's really.NET 2.0 with some more libraries and a whole lot of marketing behind it. The CLR and core of.NET 3.0 is really still.NET 2.0. (The jump from.NET 1 to.NET 2 was a real jump, the 3.0 release is just silly, should be.NET 2.5 or some such) Harder things like DirectX 10 will not be ported since it would be real work and wouldn't force people to Vista for the eye candy.
This is the thing the body/header of a TCP packet happens to be a valid body/header of a UDP packet as well. The only thing that makes a packet "TCP" is that it's IP Protocol number is TCP instead of UDP. If you tag a packet as UDP and have the body of a TCP packet you can still run the same TCP algoritms on it and it'll work just fine. Granted you cannot use the OS implemeted ones, but it's possible.

So what was it with all the talk from the presidents of the telephone companies using a QoS network to extract more money from the Googles and Yahoos to allow their traffic a "higher" priority then others all about. If it was just about QoS and they gave tools to the end user to adjust his or her QoS settings, then it wouldn't be a problem. It seems to be more about the telecom companies being allowed to decided what traffic they will/will not carry without losing their common carrier status.

The PIX and ASA line of firewalls runs Finesse OS which isn't based on Windows or for that matter even Unix or IOS. It's a family all to it's own.
You're thinking of the H2 visa on the switching jobs thing. The H1 and H1B immigrants can switch jobs.

Have you considered that AIM uses a different password system than AOL Dialup? That way your AIM would still work, but AOL proper wouldn't.

I always thought DOS 5.0 was a flop. It fixed as many things as it broke. DOS didn't become useful again until 6.21.
I think the switch happened much earlier than the "New Coke" switch. It's just an urban legend.

Try installing Oracle or Sybase on unsupported system.
Spoken like someone who's never tried to install Oracle on a supported system. It's a pain regardless of the status of the OS.
Don't use SSL. Encryption and Decryption take time, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Both wrong? Sounds like attribution is in doubt.
Isn't that half of the list of this story? Please come up with something more original than old, old rumors.
