Not at all! I'm saying that the difficulty in a University setting is the LACK of regulation. In a company or biz setting it's understandable and can be trained for and supported properly.
In a university the diversity and freedon (WHICH IS GOOD) pervents the standardization that can come from what would be an easy fix in a biz setting.
The openness and freedom of access at the university level demands that more creative solutions be discovered, rather then just going for a fix that only works on WinXP and dragging your feet on everything else.
Personally I doubt why you would go with a system that makes you scrounge for clients on different OS's just to implement at a university. In the corporate workd you have the luxury of saying "If you want to use out network you will use "n" hardware and nothing else."
At the university level you have people using about 300 different configurations and OS's. If seems like you are making if just that more difficult for those users that get use out of the network that they pay for through their tuition.
Note that this is in regard to Amazon Marketplace sellers. It's not Amazon that's actually selling the worthless pictures of celebrities. I'd say that this sounds like a Kazaa-type situation. Don't shoot the messenger I guess.
Let's be serious. I mean, we've had to bet the company many times on big technological advances. We bet on the 16-bit PC. We bet on graphical user interface. We bet on the NT technology base. Now we're in the process of betting on a combination of technologies called.Net; Longhorn Web services go along with that.
And who had the guts to teach all of us about data loss, crashes, blue screens, and monopolies?
this means jack squat to me right now. I have an iBook that lasts about 4-5 hours on a full charge and to power it all I have to use are those little holes in the walls you may have seen.
Fuel cells WILL be a big deal, but right now you're retarted to buy one: electricity just workd too well already
This is probably built for the CEO of the Japanese company just so that he can go to his summer home or something. I agree that this is one hell of a niche though:)
It still puzzles me that at QuakeCon last year the id guys said that D3 was going to be targeted at GeForce 3-level cards. However, after seeing everything that D3 was doing I think that they are crazy if you want to play at anything more than 640/480 or watching a slide show with scary monsters
who finds these types of articles really, really, really boring?
Staring at graphs indicating a.03% increase in one card over the other is just tearingly boring to me. I often find myself skipping right through to the end just to see the final "verdict"
Why, oh why, can't we get some interesting writing in the field of online hardware reviews?
And of course don't forget the second coming of Half-Life and the third installment of DOOM.
After those come out I think the only way that Duke could ever be the "best FPS ever" would require it to literally have the second coming of christ in every box.
Either that or one of those genii's that gives wishes. "I wish for Doom 3, Half-Life 2, and a G5"
I always thought that the minute you invote companies into an event you become their whores too. Then I went to QuakeCon and learned that the vendors and the BYOC can comfortably co-mingle without becoming too much of a hassle and in your face.
Or perhaps it's just that they pick vendors that respect the gaming community. I never felt any pressure to go over to ATI's booth last year and really do anything. They had a great idea for their booth: a "chill-down" area, where geeks could go to watch a movie, drink some free Bawls, or just sit around and chat with friends.
In the BYOC the vendors are not intrusive at all; they segregate the money from the fun, and in the end it becomes a great event to see what these companies have coming down the pipe for us and also to talk with friends about stuff like frags and farts that people will never live down.
I'd imagine that the type of pictures they need are either ultra-high resolution so that they can then lower the res for the game, or that it's some special technique, like doing a face scan or something.
I doubt we're talking about just picking up a disposable camera, snapping a few shots of his nose, and dropping it in the mail

In a word, yes.
If you own a petrochemical plant and need to drop a few hundred barrels of waste into a nearby river be sure to line some pockets and the regulations will relax, letting you kill everybody downstream slowly.
If you happpen to be a single mother working 2 or 3 jobs at minimum wage then you don't get tax breaks because you make too little, your federally-funded daycare gets cut back, you drink water that was just polluted upstream and can't say anything about it, then you get spied on because you could be a terrorist just because you have a friend named Abdul./me prepars for oncoming flame war (No! Don't play the homeland security card!)
But for the most part the people that may use iChat AV probably have a 600MHz G3 at least. I'm using one on my ibook right now and I bought this in early 2001. It works great for iChat AV when I'm talking to my dad over out DSL lines.
Since 600MHz is a decent floor perhaps Apple may use it as a selling point to try to convince users to upgrade hardware, or just to go up to OS X (finally! who hasn't by now except companies that needed specific software!) The restriction to 600MHZ may also be an indication of the requirements of Panther later in the year.

I'd like to refer everybody to my signature for my feelings on this matter....
At my university where I work at the computer help desk I got a call yesterday from a guy that lived on campus for the summer, bought SWG and couldn't connect to the servers.
SWG uses TCP/UDP 1023, which isn't blocked at all on the routes out of the university, but it also requires "bi-directional ICMP", which is blocked leaving the university so that DDoS attacks can be averted with simple ping on the whole campus.
The poor guy couldn't connect with his beand new game and seemed a little angry, but we're not unblocking ICMP just so that he can use his computer for 12 hours at a time killing wamprats.
My question is: why the hell would they need bi-directional ICMP?
As much as I hate to say it, 2k is a really good operating system. XP uses the same kernel as 2k and it seems to run pretty well too. If it had a bit more finish to it then I probably would have stuck with it rather than going up to XP.

I'm not sure how appropriate it is to call the LAN party the "Million Man LAN" when only 1000 people are expected to attend.
This year QuakeCon in Dallas will have 2,000 BYOC attendees, with 3,000 total people expected to show up.
