..then Google will be sucessful at this endeavour. The key quesion is can they provide enough value to generate price subscription revenue. Their technology is mature but the content is questionable at best. Too bad the economy is forcing major instituitions to re-evaluate their budgets. I know that libraries and R&D departments are often the first to have their funding slashed.
The fact that Microsoft software and consequently it's databases can be cracked is not the issue. The issue is that Microsoft is controlling the database itself. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts in this case. The sheer political will that can be wielded by Microsoft as enabled by a universal database is frightening.
At what point do the privacy activists have to take up guns (real or virtual) to stop this shit?
I am sure that Dell did not do the proper R&D and quality assurance prior to the product shipping. We have seen this time and again in a market as accelerated as computers or electronics. The problem arises when you get poor service from a "quality" vendor like Dell. I remember the hullabaloo that occurred when Apple began charging for all of their tech support.
I think companies are willing to sacrifice our hard earned trust for a few quarters of additional profitiblility. Sad but true.
Linus is just undergoing a transition phase. It will become the most popular OS in 3rd world countries and some notable 1st world (Germany) in five years. Watch and see!
I don't have TiVo but I would like to get one. Any recommendations on buy now or after x-mas? When are the new ones coming out? Is Sony manufacturing them?
Information Anarchy? What? Do doctors complain about information anarchy when patients research treatments for diseases on the web?
Doesn't this guy realize that our systems are becoming more secure everyday, now that people have to take worms, trojans, DoS attacks seriously. Maybe he should bet back to securing Microsoft products and spend less time complaining about system admins trying to share info.
Apparently it is not legal at this time to use these methods to shut down individual users. They must be getting really scared to stoop to employing potential damaging and/or legally questionable tactics such as these. How far do they think they can go before the backlash gets to them? Or do they think the average college kid swapping songs and burning MP3s can be frightened into spending the proverbial 20 bucks on a disc? I seriously doubt it.
The most difficult part of installing a new switching station is managing the hundred of miles of copper and fiber that interconnect within the building. Combine that with identifing and splicing the incoming fiber, copper and coax and you have a task requiring ten (hundreds) of thousands of hours of labor. In addition, only so much work can be performed concurrently within a given area in the CO. It is a monumental task.
Building a brand new CO is far easier than repairing or perfroming MAC work at an exisitng facility (ask any old Bellhead).

I just called them and got transferred to about 10 different people. I was simply asking for someone to talk to me about network cabling. None of them got it. Idiots.
I agree 1/2 elves rock. Our old DM used to have 1/4 elves 1/2 dwarves, etc. You could play a 1/2 elf 1/4 dwarf with the appropriate level restrictions and bonuses.
It was cool.
Unless there is some real-time aspect or specific digital technology at issue here, I don't see them winning this one. Who knows? Screw it, I don't use Tivo anyway. Why watch TV when you can program an old Apple//c?

Unlike the Sony MD player, this one is truly digital. Can you say bye-bye RIAA. I want one that also does DVDs. Maybe X-mas 2002?

Microsoft is double plus good.

The password for all of our routers is admin.
Not really, but it is on 75% of our client's machines.
Does publishing Microsoft Bob fall under "terrorist act"?
It's a low margin business anyway. They never should of got into that business.
Unless you consider the Pentium class of processors "consumer grade".

Do I have to format the drive or will the TiVo BIOS do it for me?

Perfect security.

I always play Dwarves. They usually have a better constitution the gnomes or halflings.
And their shit software.
StarOffice kicks ass apart from some file interoperability problems. But that just might be me. I think I'll wait awhile before I try 6.0.
