I'm willing to bet that the recycle program is really just a program that will ship the junk to some country that doesn't care, which will pile it up, and probably burn it at some point.
Until Apple has enterprise class support for hardware, they won't be truly ready for the enterprise. I recently had to send a Mac to AppleCare, it took a full month to get the PC back, and they lost data that will have to manually put back onto the computer, literally a days worth of work. They will not reimburse you for the lost working hours, even though the fault is theirs.
That's not giving a higher priority to the bits. It's a fundamentally different architecture, where you're changing the way things are working. Um, no. It's the way it's supposed to work anyway, the idea of a distributed system with no single points of failure. You don't do that by running your service from a single location.
You know Microsoft would be sued if they included more programs, they even have to take some programs out of their OS for various markets. Apple on the other hand can sell you whatever and can bundle whatever. SGI used to make you pay for feature packs, like NIS/NFS. And then of course there's all of the various Linux and BSD distributions that often come packed with a wide range of software. An OS is useless without software, except as a base for writing software.
Ajax is a great combination of different technologies. The issues the author points out can be solved with relatively little work. Perhaps he should look at the ajax scene and try to make some pages that use ajax before he thinks that all ajax sites suck.
Cisco forces you to pay for support contracts, so you can get updates to the equipment they sold you, and later found out it has problems.
This is not a new practice, lots of software forces you to purchase support for years, or you can't get the upgrades.
Upgrades, I can understand paying for new features, but I don't agree with paying for patches, which Cisco charges for, except in the rare extremely critical cases.
Dvorak is an idiot, it's sad to see slashdot propagating his nonsense ideas.
I don't think selling 7 versions of Vista is going to help Microsoft's communication or licensing issues.
The sad part is that you could ask the ESRB and they'll tell you that a child shouldn't be playing GTA. You don't need to spend $90 million to find that out, that's why there's a "M" on the front of the case.
Search CVE for exploits involving WMI or WBEM. You will find 1 involving Sun. WMI has built in security features. Perhaps the only truth in this article is the fact that given time, someone can break any security.

I actually feel that article should be pulled from Slashdot. First off, the Eweek article is just pointing to the PC Magazine article, why list it twice, google hits? More importantly, this is an editorial posted as news, the author provides no evidence or research. There is no reason Slashdot should condone this type of bad journalism, or are we all that biased.
Of course if you'd like to add WBEM to Linux or another nix, http://openwbem.org/.
If you implement 1 gig networking, and don't enable jumbo frames you'll only see a fraction of the available performance. The same applies with 10 gig networking. The MTU on 10 gig should go up to at least 750kB. Leaveing it at the standard 1500 bytes would limit your overall bandwidth due to a number of reasons.
For most of us, all this means is faster transfers of large files.
The issue here is that congress can and undoubtedly will apply legislation to both the software design and network operations. I for one don't want either.
The larger issue is the fact that the congress can apply legislation that cost the software manufacturers money. An online database serving that many requests per second is not a cheap operation to run, implying to me that this company will charge for use of it's service. Trying to charge the end users directly would be difficult. Charging for the SDK, and the number of hits by software package would be easier to accomplish.
In the past when congress decided to regulate an industry it was for the good of the public. Architecture and plumbing standards are examples of this.
This case however, cannot be in the interest of the public now matter how you stretch it. I'm of course not a lawyer, and congress would like us to believe they can do anything they want.;)
For the MMORPG Horizons, we first looked at RTPatch, then we looked at RSYNC. We actually implemented both in dev, and went through most of beta with RTPatch. We eventually wrote our own, and I would recommend the same to you.
Artifact's was pretty simple, no binary patching of files, just straight overwrites. Checks by file date first, then checksum if there are problems with the dates. I no longer work for Artifact Entertainment, Inc.
You also may want to put more research into the MSI's. Be sure to check out msi2xml on sf.net.
Step 1. Get a Mac running *NIX. Step 2. Get 3 computers of the same hardware. Step 3. Do default installs of Darwin, Windows 2003 Server, OpenBSD 3.4, and Redhat 9. I mean default. Step 4. Get another *NIX box, doesn't matter what it's running. Step 5. Install Nessus on the box from step 4. If you've never used Nessus, then your not really doing all of your job;) Step 6. Run full Nessus scans against all 4 computers. Step 7. Publish results, hardware config, OS Config, and Nessus config.
Leave the operating systems as default installs, this test will not tell you anything other than which OS is more secure by default according to Nessus.
I don't see how you could call this Swiss vote the first, Arizona had online elections during the 2000 election year here in the States, I think it might have been for the primaries only, but it is still an online vote for a public postion. This happens with cloning as well, do a search on CNN for first cloned human, and you'll get a different article for each year.
This is a large problem. We seem to think that we can make our lives safer by passing more laws and making more actions illegal. The only advantage to doing this is settling lawsuits. The cell phone driving laws are another great example of this type of incorrect lawmaking. To make you feel safer, other people can not talk on a cell phone while they are driving, but that does not stop them from eating, drinking, playing a card game, watching a movie, or any other action that could, need not matter how much, affect their driving ability. So Segways can't be ran on the sidewalk? So it is safer to ride them on the street? Can you prove that?
Can we prove that riding a public bus is safer than driving a car, if so, let's ban cars!
Preemptive laws, a minority report coming to your neighborhood soon.

I want more people to make your comment, so it becomes thought of as a conditional reflex as well.
Or, I need to learn to read, request for, and not the summary judgment. Blizzard should still lose though.
This is old news, the case is done, you can read the judgment, Blizzard lost, as it should have.

You know what it's called when a single organization controls something? Monopoly!!!!

The only difference between a professional and an amateur is the fact that one of them gets paid.
A certification or a degreee doesn't mean you know more than anyone else, it just means you sat in detention longer.
This is old news, they had the monkey and the arm connected over 300 miles in the past, same experiment, but over the distance. Search slashdot.
