However, this is not in the ISPs best interests. The ISPs interests are best served by the current business model...the promise-you-x-amount-of-bandwidth-but-give-you-only-0.4x business model.
RFC 3252 may have been too clever for its own good, and some people may not have gotten the joke. Ha! I hadn't seen that one. Reminds me of this quote:
"XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve your problem, use more."
Wouldn't that be an opportunity for Apple? Yes, it is an opportunity for Apple, but not one that's easy to advertise. You can say something like "we have stereo headphone support, just like our competitors, but ours works better," but unless your customers already have had bad experiences with stereo headphones using a competing product, it won't ring true. This is the key behind the Mac vs. PC ads - everybody already knows how much PCs suck, so when Apple says PCs suck, people say "oh yeah, I know what they're talking about, that sounds just like my experience."
Are they really that dependent on others to fix the bugs first? Can't Apple do their own bluetooth software AND the headset to match? Yes and no. Apple is certainly capable of developing their own chipsets, but it's expensive to do so - it's much cheaper to just buy them from some other company who has had a lot more experience making that particular item. Apple's strength is in packaging components together in such a way that the end result is so integrated that the user forgets it's comprised of distinct components.
I thought Apple was innovative. The only thing innovative is people's excuses. Apple is innovative, but part of that innovation lies not in creating a product from scratch, but combining off-the-shelf components in a new way. The original iPod was innovative, but the 5GB hard drive it contained was the same off-the-shelf hard drive used by professional digital photographers. In fact, because Apple was able to negotiate such a low price from the hard drive manufacturer, the price of the iPod was cheaper than most places were selling comparable hard drives, so photographers were buying iPods, opening them up, removing the hard drive, and discarding the rest. Perhaps Apple could have engineered their own custom hard drive, but that wouldn't have improved the quality of the product.
Cookies work fine on my dirt cheap phone. Just a thought that you might want to shop around before getting the Iphone which for some reason now seems to be treated as a default choice. You really expect people to check for things like whether or not the built-in browser loses cookies between sessions when they're shopping around? How many other annoying little details do we have to check for?
If I buy an Apple iPhone, I don't have to shop around, I already know that everything Apple says it can do will work properly, without hassle, because I trust Apple's reputation. The only reason I haven't bought one yet is that there are still a few features I need that the iPhone doesn't support (tethering is the dealbreaker, but I can think of a few other things that would be nice to have, that my old piece of crap Motorola v551 can do just fine).
What? Playing Smash Bros drunk? What an idiotic idea! When you're drunk, your hand-eye coordination suffers. I mean, would you want to lose in Smash Bros? TO A GIRL? Clearly, the male was suggesting that the female get drunk, for precisely this reason.
If you don't want to pay for your AV, why not go with ClamAV rather than leech off Grisoft's update servers? Last I checked, ClamWin doesn't have an option to constantly monitor your system for incoming viruses; it can only scan your whole hard drive (or whatever) on a predetermined schedule. Definitely better than nothing, but not ideal for a school.
The child labor laws don't stop you from hiring children.... when she started she was 16 just above the cutoff point... Which cutoff point is that, exactly?
It was also possible to, while attempting to plug in an ADB device while the computer was on, slip and accidentally short a couple of pins together, causing the computer to suddenly reboot.
I only did that once.
Come to think of it, I suppose this would probably only be likely when connecting a keyboard that didn't have the ADB cable hard-wired in. You could only short the pins like that if it was a male end connected to the computer that you were plugging into the female connector on a device like a keyboard. Apple did make such a keyboard, but I wonder if this is the reason they stopped.
Actually, although ADB was officially not hot-pluggable, people did it all the time. Usually the only noticeable side-effect was that ADB mice would track very slowly until the computer was rebooted.
Am I the only one here that remembers paying 50USD per year to register a domain? Not only that, but the initial registration had to be for at least two years. $50 was the annual renewal fee, but you had to pay the first $100 up front.
My recollection is that in 1997 they were $100 for two years, $50/year thereafter, and Network Solutions was the only registrar.
Also, domain registrations, along with any updates, were done by sending an e-mail in a particular format. You could fill out a form on Network Solutions' web site, which would send you an e-mail with all the fields filled out that you could just send back to them.
You were modded funny, but seriously, I think you're absolutely right. It's astonishing how many people honestly believed he was a Muslim, and were afraid to vote for him for that reason. Telling them that he claims to be Christian and was baptized 20 years ago isn't enough to convince them, but a controversy about his crazy pastor might be enough to make them reconsider. Crazy pastor or not, if the mainstream media accepts that Obama's really a churchgoing Christian, he can no longer be a scary Muslim terrorist, so it's now OK to listen to what he has to say.
Damn, politics in this country makes me sad sometimes.
Are you of a mind that we are merely "mismanaging the Iraq War" and not engaged in the theft of a government and the murder of over a million innocents? No. If I thought we were merely mismanaging the Iraq war, I might support John McCain, who would like to double the number of troops there and maintain a military presence for a century. Yes, the Iraq war has been horribly mismanaged (although since the departure of Donald Rumsfeld the day after the '06 midterm elections, I think they're at least trying to manage it now, which they really weren't before), but more importantly, it shouldn't have been started in the first place. Somehow the Bush administration managed to hoodwink a majority of the American public, as well as a majority in Congress, and get them to believe that invading Iraq was in our national security interests.
There are three remaining candidates with any chance of winning the election. I support the one who wasn't fooled by Bush's lies, and who had the cajones to speak out against it when that wasn't the popular position. Is he perfect? Certainly not. Would one of the third-party candidates make a better President? Perhaps, but they can't get elected under our current system. So let's compare Obama to the two other realistic options.
Please. Barack Obama will only provide the "change" offered by the grifter, the confidence man. Perhaps you're correct, or partly correct. Based on what I've seen, I really don't think so, but he is a politician, so it's always possible. But surely you can't suggest Hillary Clinton would be any better in this regard! She'll do or say anything to attain more power; her position on any given issue is whatever she thinks the people want to hear. Bill Clinton's presidency is what gave us things like the DMCA, and his administration was pretty cozy with the telecommunications and financial industries. I like Hillary's commitment to universal health care, but I don't think Obama's plan is significantly worse than hers.
I have a great deal of respect for John McCain; I consider him to be a war hero. I believe his intentions are honorable. Unfortunately, he's old, and I can't expect him to have a clear understanding of the technological issues that face this generation. I believe he could be too easily tricked into screwing us over somehow without realizing it. He understands better than anyone why torturing prisoners of war is something we absolutely cannot do, but in trying to pander to the right, he has waffled on even this issue. On top of that, simply by virtue of being a Republican, I'm sure that if McCain were elected, he would keep a lot of the same people working in the White House - people that helped Bush drag us into this mess.
Obviously there are other considerations I haven't listed here. I haven't seen any good reasons not to support Obama, though. Perhaps you can list some?

When he says he stands for change, he's not talking about just the last 7 years.
No, instead he's talking about vague changes with few particulars and a startling recurrent inability to handle questions concerning his policies and views. He equivocates and sidesteps issues with a deftness of, say, Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan, and he has the press and young voters eating out of the palm of his hand - largely, I suspect because their memories don't go back as far to dissuade their naivete. True, but unfortunately with the way our political system works, he has to be very careful about what sound bites he feeds the media right now. He has to differentiate himself from Hillary Clinton during the primary campaign, without saying anything that will bite him in the ass in the general election campaign against John McCain. I expect he'll be a little more forthcoming with the particulars once he's secured the nomination.
Obama is still, at his heart, just another two-party candidate Anyone who isn't, can't get elected. Work within the system, or change the system, those are your options.
who proudly voted for the renewal of The Patriot Act and other unnecessary and harmful expansions of the federal government. I wouldn't say he was proud; he specifically called it "far from perfect". Read his floor statement. Obama had already been working on trying to modify the Patriot Act to better protect civil liberties, and successfully voted down an even worse version a few months earlier.
He talks about change and a lot of overly optimistic people think he'll bring change, but ask most of them what his policies are and they'll have few ideas. Ask most supporters of any candidate what that candidate's policies are and they'll have few ideas. That doesn't mean he doesn't have any.
Let's just hope that by some miracle the new Kennedy handles our Bay of Pigs and Vietnam a little better. We'll see.
That is not nearly confusing enough. The original alogrithm was clear and concise. Your Perl implementation should therefore cause distress and confusion. You're a shame to the profession. It's not my Perl implementation, it's my Perl port of somebody else's implementation, which I have used successfully. By all means, feel free to write an implementation that is actually clear, and share it with the rest of us.
Arguably it is a math article to the interested christians on/.
Methinks many families that profess no especial religion nonetheless buy their children bunny figures, chocolate, and disgusting gelatin chicks in the springtime. These sort of articles, besides showing Christians when their religious day falls, also explain when to expect such mechandise in your local stores.
Don't forget about Mardi Gras!
Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, etc.) is the day before Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of Lent, which begins 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter. So, once you've calculated the date of Easter, subtract 47 to get the date of Mardi Gras.

You're joking, right? I certainly hope so. You really think that a Clinton or McCain administration will do anything different from the current one? No, that's why I'm hoping Obama wins.
When he says he stands for change, he's not talking about just the last 7 years.
I wouldn't say Apple's is the largest such tribe. Consider the Republican party. About 30% of the US population thinks President Bush has done a fantastic job with the Iraq war, and has made the country safer from terrorists.

Don't expect change anytime soon. That's only true in the absence of competition. Some people are fortunate enough to be able to choose between cable modem service, DSL (where they can choose between multiple ISPs), 3G wireless from their cell phone provider, satellite, and other wireless services, and maybe even broadband over powerlines.
and some people may not have gotten the joke. Ha! I hadn't seen that one. Reminds me of this quote:

Is that a good enough excuse?
