As I mentioned in an earlier post, the solution is not to force providers to disclose customer activity. It's to block ALL traffic from said ISP until it deals with the problem itself.
Not to disprove your point, but I read the article to say 'We'll be looking for the code anywhere and everywhere it's posted on the internet' not 'We'll be browsing every server and ISP log, breaking into all Win3k systems to verify their license code.'
Why would anyone want it? Without the ability to patch the software, isn't it pretty much useless? I mean, you know who builds Windows, right? And there's bound to be a patch released soon after the general release...
When I first read it, I thought it was "GTA: My wife is the biggest bitch in history and I should spend all the money in the checking account to spite her."
But when I got back from the car dealership, I realized my mistake. Silly me.
And you obviously have NO mainframe knowledge whatsoever, to make such flip comments. I'd love to see even a SUN E15k go head-to head with a z/OS box...
Sounds like your systems programers sucked. Of the five boxes (4 LPARs apiece) that my team handles, only one has gone down in the last 400+ days...for 37 minutes. Problem corrected, never happened again.
Mind-numbing tedium? It's been a while since you were an operator, huh? In my shop, my operators are managing the box that schedules all the batch, monitoring all 7300+ batch jobs that run in a night (including several hundred that run on open-systems Sun environments, creating and perfecting countless automation routines to make their lives easier, etc.
Now they're installing a product from BMC called Patrol Enterprise Monitor, and it's assiciated PhonePoint software that will make callout and escalation automatic. Granted, this will take some months to perfect, but that will leave them more time to perfect the web environments they're creating on several of our LPARs.
Now how in the hell can you call that much diversity and oportunity 'mind-numbing'?
Oh, and the average salary for my operations staff is $65k. In fact, they're in the same pay-scale as both the Intel and Sun admins.
Several of the boxes I work with have 10 processors each. All of them talk to each other, and share resources, such as disk, tape, etc. Each of them also back up the processing power of the others.
I have a solution to the problem: get a pager. I'm on call for my department (IT/Operations) 24x7, but people know that it takes a few minutes for a page to go through. I only turn the phone on (due to short battery life) to return calls to work.
So. Pager (on vibrate) goes off, and I check to make sure it's work. I leave the theater, turn on my phone, and call work. Nobody is bothered, and yes, I sit on the aisle. It's as if I'm getting up to use the bathroom.
One nitpick: The author's question was not about Hydrogen fuel-cells, or going with hydrogen entirely, but about adding hydrogen to the mix somehow and if it was feasible to do so.

Perhaps we'd blacklist all of the ISPs that associate with them, causing more than a little heartburn...
Remember, we're free to kick YOUR ass too.
And how do all of those percieved shortcomings prevent us from the whole "Bring us your tired, your poor" thing?
I'll bet you ANYthing that your country is crappier.
Sounds like a friend of mine: "I don't discriminate. I have everybody equally."
Funny. That comment right there will probably sway me to purchase it.
Personally, I prefer the reviews at tomshardware.com
Then you defenitely need a new UPS. On that sort of box, writing 40 gigs of data to disk should be fairly trivial.

Exactly.
Except that they key works for three out of the four versions of the software, including the Workstation edition.

I would MUCH prefer they be called 'unemployed' if they're going to gripe about their job title.
I dunno about that. I priced new (cheap) 36 inch TVs at over $700, and good ones at $1000+.
If all you want to do is record Seinfeld, then break down and use a cheap Windows box.

Man who plays with fire gets the hair burned off his ass.

How is it irritating to use? Did you say the same thing when you switched from a 4 cylinder car to a 12?
When is the last time you used one, and for what exactly?
You sure don't know much about mainframes, then.

How is that different from clustering, I wonder?
Tell me, how is the search performance on Yahoo?
Their teminals are no longer 'green screens', other wise known as 'dumb terminals' and haven't been for some time now.
All users log in via PC. Only the harware consoles (HMCs) are directly attached, and they're also PCs.
Ummm... that was boring.

Interesting. Thanks!
Very nice post.
