I remember stating that originally, an indication of which network protocol to use was meant to go between the slashes.
I don't think so, since the double slashes only apply to Internet schemes anyway. RFC1738 says:
//<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<url-path>
Some or all of the parts "<user>:<password>@", ":<password>",
":<port>", and "/<url-path>" may be excluded. The scheme specific
data start with a double slash "//" to indicate that it complies with
the common Internet scheme syntax.
But if you find another reference, please let me know.
The only place where I know of that being used is in AFP URLs where you can specify AppleTalk using the following syntax: afp:/at/[user[;AUTH=uamname][:password]@]servername[:zonename]/volume
As the article says only 400 of the 90,000 movies the Netflix has are available in HD-DVD. In my case only 1 of the 50 movies in my queue is "available" in HD and it has been stuck in pending release for 6 months. Meanwhile I get to watch 2-3 HD movies a week on my HD Tivo with no stupid can't be skipped warnings...
Although your comment is interesting it is not relevant. Technical support is not the issue. The issue is that people who wanted to and had the ability to pay for a $600 product were not able to purchase it in a timely manner because the ATT stores lied about availability and took 10-20 minutes per customer instead of 2-3 like the Apple stores. Same product and same activation process but widely different buying experiences.
Read Charles Petzold's book "CODE - The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software". It will give you a background in how computer languages and hardware were designed in a fairly approachable manner . After that grounding in the basics, you will be able to see that all the the languages and hardware are just different ways of solving the same problems, and switching between them will be much easier. Then if there is a specific technology you are interested in look it up in a search engine and/or Wikipedia to find out what that specific technology is all about.
Actually HFS+ support for Windows does exist, it just isn't free. Mediafour http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6/bootca mp.asp and Dataviz both have products that do it (although I am pretty sure they are actually the same code).
The excess oxygen is there for the same as the reason the amount of heat produced is less than the amount of energy put in. A portion of the hydrogen does not get recombined with the oxygen. There will be both extra oxygen and extra hydrogen in the room. However hydrogen is lighter than air and escapes even a well sealed home fairly quickly.
But it probably is not a good idea to tell dumb consumers that some of the unburned fuel is released into the room. That sounds scary because they heard about that Hindenberg thing, but oxygen is good, because the airplane stewardess told them in an emergency, oxygen would be provided.
A movie theater provides entertainment to me on their private property and an ISP delivers packets to my private property. These services are not alike at all.
This case is not even like port 25 blocking which serves a definable purpose of preventing traffic that neither the customer nor the provider wants to have sent. Sure there are people whose machines have not been turned in to SPAM spewing zombies who would like to use port 25 legitimately, but the fact that the need to contain criminal activity sometimes makes things more difficult for law abiding citizens is hardly news.
In this case though there is not clear public good defense for blocking the VOIP. It is simple restraint of trade and false advertising.
I have copies of advertisements I made for my computer store circa 1987 (3 years after 1984). 1MB of ram was $350 then at the retail level. I suggest checking out the graph at the following site for an insight into memory prices over time http://www.jcmit.com/mem2002.htm.
Ignoring that the links sometimes go to the wrong story and the content maybe biased towards their own sites, it is just plain hard to read. Yet again someone has not undertstood what seperates google from the rest is not just having the best backend algorithims, but putting a clean clear interace on top of that.With google news, I can scan the headlines and summaries quickly and efficiently. With the MS version I cannot. Sure it's a beta, but that does not mean you have to release what the programmers wrote without having the UI design team look at it.
In my real world experience this is not true. I just tend to see very bad performance from the movement of all the interfering water bags (human bodies). Even small movements of a classroom of students cause the clients to reacquire a different access point. Every time that happens there is a slowdown. It is worse in situations where there are access points at high enough density that a client in the back of a room can acquire a signal from the other side of a wall instead of the other side of a room. With low signal strength it was just harder for a client to lock on to any signal. Of course if you do really good placement, antenna tuning, etc. strength tuning can help. On the other hand if you do that, strength tuning is usually not necessary.
I have legit info in whois, but still all my e-mail spam comes to info, sales, and webmaster not the e-mail address in the registration. None of those are actually valid addresses on my domains either. The snailmail SPAM is not significant enough for me to care. Even if those were a major problem, as far as I am concerned using invalid information to purchase property whether virtual or physical is fraud and wanting not to be inconvenienced is not an excuse.
Certain things are public records and that is just the way it is. I receive offers to buy my house in the mail from people who have looked up the tax records too, but I don't think people are going to say that I can give the department of tax administration fake information. Besides it only has to be legitimate contact information it does not have to be the same information as your normal contact information. People create trusts and holding corporations for physical property all the time. Why should virtual property be any different?
Last I checked to print to a network printer under Windows using IPP or LPR you don't choose Network, but instead choose Local. Network printing really means print server printing under Windows, but esr somehow holds that up as an example of a standard to live up to? No thanks. CUPS may be a little rough, but at least when I connect to a printer using ethernet I don't have to choose non-network as the printer type.
Of course really it is a print device under windows since according to Microsoft Introduction to Network Printing "The printer is the software interface between a print device and the print clients". Yeah right.
Just make sure you get the old software for MyHD because according to the release notes for the current version "DVD mode playback feature - HD full screen output is disabled for playback of copy-protected (scrambled) DVD to follow the DVD CCA license, because MyHD does not have a copy-control circuit." Well I guess you could remove the copy-protection on the DVD...
In general I found the mini-itx to be dissapointing for DVD playback. I admit I cheaped out though (in a very expensive way). I got the Fusion HDTV card which does not do DVD decoding and then put it in a Dell desktop with a lot more horsepower which sits under my end table by the couch. If I actually watched TV more than every few weeks I might retry the mini-itx with the MyHD.
I don't know what the US Bureau of Engraving uses, but I know for sure that the US Mint uses PhotoShop for image editing. I guess that would be a legal use...
It is possible to have a "free" add-on service if it increases the number of hotel rooms sold. Is the soap that the hotel provides really free? I have found that many of the hotels that provide free high speed internet access actually have had lower rates than other comparable hotels in the area. Even if it does raise the cost of my room by $5 per night, I can easily expense a hotel room costing an extra $5, but I would have difficulty justifying a separate fee to the bean counters.
Not having interference is what I think the real advantage will be. Right now when I talk on my cordless phone I lose my Airport signal if I am near the coverage edge. If my laptop and phone were using the same protocols they would not be so prone to stomp on each other. Personally, I think this is a killer app that will be ignored for a long time because the WiFi manufactuers are going to try to target the enterprise market. Consumers will be where the real market is, because that is who is deploying WiFi right now.
Although true that the IP packet at layer 3 does not contain the MAC address, the packet does need to go through layer 1 and 2 as well. At layer 2 the frame will have a MAC address. This is replaced at every hop but since the first hop after your NAT box is going to be the ISP's router they can figure out from the first 16 bits of the MAC address what the hardware device is. Although the block id assigned to the manufacturer of the device would tell them who made the device, whether it is a linksys ethernet card in a PC or a linksys router may not be able to be determined depending upon whether linksys uses different blocks for their different device types.
Although it is true that it does not support other OSA languages you can get around that to a certain extent by using the AppleScript "do shell script MyApplication.app/Contents/Resources/MyScript.pl MyVariables" or similar syntax to interact with scripts in the language of your choice. When you create a file in the Project window you just choose empty file instead of Applescript, C, or Java.

I know slashdotters don't usually like anything based upon windows, but isn't kind of silly to use fiber optics when a pane or two of glass will do.
