Yes, but speed doesn't matter when there is latency involved. Compare the latency between a 1GB network connection and a hard drive. I would bet 2 dollars Canadian the hard drive will win.
Apples and oranges. PcAnywhere is vastly different from Citrix. Citrix can make things appear as if they are on your desktop, not in a remote window. The major advantage is centralised administration. All the user needs on their machine is the client, which they can get from the internal webpage for logging in to Citrix. Anyone on the road can also log in and get their desktop anywhere in the world they can get on the internet. Your support costs go way, way down using this method. If someone 6,000 miles away can't get their e-mail, all you have to do is walk a few feet to the server room and see what the issue is. If they can get to the web, they can get to their application. You can have more people working from home, on the road, etc. The main purpose of Citrix is not to cheat on licenses, but to centralise and simplify administration. Want to deploy that latest update? A few clicks and it is done. Instead of spending an entire day running around to various client machines. MS still gets their licensing fees.
I have LCD's on both my desktop machine and my powerbook, and I have never noticed any blurring. I play games all the time on my PC (the only thing I use it for anymore) and have never noticed any blurring. I mostly play first person shooters, so it would be noticeable. I will spot you plasma being blurry, because at this early stage in the game, it is inherent. I watch DVDs and such all the time on my LCD screens and the the biggest thing I have to worry about is viewing at the correct angle, or else you end up not seeing anything. I gave up my CRTs, they are sitting in my closet if you want them. Just pay for postage!
How do you not see the connection between Citrix and a mainframe? Citrix is basically a mainframe program. You have a thin client and/or a dumb terminal access applications and files stored on a central server. That is about as mainframe as you can get. Defining a mainframe by throughput is like defining a car by paint. I said the internet was an evolution of the existing infrastructure and community. At least I tried to imply as such.
Whoops, I got them mixed up with the Irish boys in the British Army. I know for a fact the Gardai go on peacekeeping missions with the UN and such. I have never been to Limerick, I have heard enough stories about it to not want to go either. I have mostly been to Derry in the North, and all over Donegal in the south, mostly Buncrana.
I do not subscribe to the idea of "paradigm shifting". I think things just naturally evolve due to need or pure serendipity. Every thing has a practical purpose. We are going back to mainframe systems (100% of Fortune 500 companies use Citrix for something). I have an Apple Powerbook with OS X, I have a GUI and a terminal session open at all times. I like the best of both worlds. The internet sort of grew out of necessity to link together all of the BBSes and their users. IRC comes close, but it is still a closed in society where you need to know where to go. The WWW, on the other hand, will let you pull up Google, search for what you want, then take you there. I do not think FLOSS software will ever overtake proprietary software. I do, however, believe that it can gain a greater market share with better education.
The Garda Siochana (the police force) first participated in UN peacekeeping in 1989, when a 48 -strong contingent was sent to Namibia with the UN Transitional Assistance Group (UNTAG). Since then, approximately 400 members of the Garda Siochana have served with various UN missions throughout the world. 20 Gardai currently on service with the UN are serving in Cyprus.
The Gardai as they are referred to are actually called, in Gaelic "Garda Siochana na hEireann", which translates to "Guardians of Peace in Ireland" . They are the cops in the Republic of Ireland. They even go on peacekeeping missions abroad.
To me, at least, patenting petty things is a total waste of time. The time and resources you spend patenting stuff could be better put to use improving your product. By the time the patent if finalised, the thing you patented is probably old and busted.
Apples and oranges, no pun intended. I was talking about PowerDVD not playing a DVD I own. I had nothing hooked up to the TV-Out, it was because the card DID NOT have a Macrovision chip on it, that it did not play. This pissed me off to no end, no way I am going to spend another couple hundred bucks to replace a card I just bought to watch my own property. Herein lies the paradox of our rights, you are allowed to make an archival copy of your own stuff, BUT, the manufacturers do not have to make it easy, or possible to, but you are not allowed to circumvent their copy protection.
Yeah, I noticed this like a year ago with my GF3Ti500. One of the reasons I dropped the PC and switched to the Mac. I think it is an excuse for them to sell more cards. If you ask them, they will say it is to "protect the rights of producers", How about my fucking rights to watch the DVDs I have purchased?
I have old designjet plotters and Laserjet IIIs and IVs and 5s coming out of my ears. Only the latest stuff comes into play when something breaks, and it would be cheaper to buy two better faster cheaper models than to fix the existing one. I have a 386 40Mhz 8MB RAM system still in use, all it does it talk to a PBX, not very heavy lifting admittedly.
This is a very tricky issue. I think if the bill passes, people will ditch channels that could potentially broaden their horizons. On the other hand, I don't like golf, so I can choose to not get the channel of the same name. I think that John and Jane Q. Public will drop channels that are "boring", like Discovery, A&E, TLC, etc. While I do believe there is an awful lot of tripe on television (how many reality shows can there possibly be?), occasionally, there is something I want to watch on a channel I normally do not. What if you think you don't like Anime, then it is 3 A.M. and the only channel with anything on is the Cartoon Network? Hmm...this Anime stuff is pretty cool. Never would have happened if mommy and daddy decided they did not want the channel. What I hope is that if this passes, the regular package with all the channels will cost less per month. I do agree with the basic principles, showing that we have a voice, and using that voice to get things done, even if they are largely symbolic. When these companies think they have us in check, it takes something like this to make them stop and think about pleasing the consumer, rather than doing the bare minimum for a captive audience.
This is not "innovation", I dislike that word immensely, it is overused. I could forgive the use of it if they made a piece of hardware or software better, or reinvented the wheel, but offering a la carte cable is hardly innovation in my book. That lumps it in the same category as like cancer drugs and artificial hearts.
This has been around for a while. It was completely random for a while (for testing one would assume). I used to have a bookmark that would toggle the look back and forth, but I seem to have misplaced it.

I meant the body of the text of the article, not the headline.
I read the headline 5 times, and I still have no clue what it says.

Look up serendipity. Please. Then respond. I will help you. Here you are.
One would assume it would go to ~90% then trickle until it reaches 100%.

I could have sworn we retired "paradigm shift" when the .com bubble burst. I could be wrong.
I am not mistaken. I was in Ireland last April when boys were coming home in bodybags.

Only to Rob Enderle. Well, him and ZDNet.
Will this protocol also use the "Evil Bit"?
