Normally I am against any sort of Big Brother sort of thing like this. However, I live in Vancouver and frequent many of the bars and clubs here. And as of late, there has been a marked increase in violence. Vancouver is home to many gangs such as Motorcycle and Asian Gange who do not always get along.
A few weeks ago there was a shootout at a popular night spot called Loft6, and numerous innocent bystandards were shot and the shooters have yet to be identified. If a system such as this were in place, they could just go through the logs and ID everyone in the place instead of relying on witnesses that tend to 'forget' things like this that they see.
The challenge will be ensuring that the bars make everyone go through the system. There are a lot of clubs that let certain people in the backdoors to avoid being caught on main entrance cameras.
You know what.. that's exactly what I was doing. Then yesterday some bozzo came into the office and jacked in a laptop into the same VLAN as those winboxen. wammo.. Winchea virus all over the place.
When they say 75Mhz, that is the optimal frequency for the AD converter. All LCDs have this optimum frequency. It will most likely work at any refresh rate, but the AD converter is calibrated for 75Mhz. This is only if you are using an RGB output btw. If you have a graphics card with a DVI out, there is no refresh rate setting.
SCO just stated on the conference call, in response to a question asking if it would be possible to use the Linux kernel in a fashion that would not violate SCO's claims, that they are only really concerned with people using the 2.4 kernel and above. So is this a clue that the code in question is something that is only in kernels > 2.4?
At our company we call all SysAdmins: System Engineers. In some places in the US and Canada is it against the law to use the term Engineer in your title if you did not graduate from an accredited engineering school. However, in British Columbia there is no such law on the books so we are free to use it. When applying for jobs in other places it looks really good to have the title Engineer on your resume.
What about the fact that the Gameboy Advance SP costs $99 whilst the Canon G3 costs $550? I don't know about the rest of you, but that makes a big difference to me.
This of all the really fun pranks you could pull on people. Or, how cool would it be to put fish tank screen saver on all the windows in your living room.
I find that SMS messages are particularily prone to failure when sending between different carriers. Here in BC for instance we have Telus, Rogers and Fido all providing SMS. When I send a message on Rogers to another Rogers subscriber, I have yet to lose a message. However, when I send messages to Telus or Fido, it's very hit and miss. From what I've heard on the street, the servers that handle the inter-network messaging are not very well run because the companies can just continue to blame each other instead of taking responsibility.
NET is their buzzword compliant strategy including SOAP, XML, Web services and their latest plan to crush competitors. Somewhere in there is the ditched Hailstorm/Passport plan for world domination.
ok.. not to sound like a noob.. but what does THAT mean? I would like a specific example of how someone would use.NET in their everyday life.
As the submitter eluded to; this has been said so many times before that I simply don't believe it. I remember reading the same thing about 100Mhz being the fastest we could build. Technology will find away as long as people are willing to buy it. And people will be willing to buy it because we all need to run Quake 4, 5, 6 etc.
I remember reading about something similar a few years ago. Basically they took all the different readings from a nuclear reactor control room and extrapolated a tone from them somehow. If any of the readings went outside of nominal the done would sound much different. Because the human ear is sensitive to this, the operators would know something is amiss.
Iridium is alive.. in fact I have an Iridium sat phone (Motorola 9505) sitting on my desk right now that I use to call our people who are away on ops. With Iridium it is much cheaper to call phone-phone. Landline LD to an Iridium phone is abour $10/min. whereas Iridium to Iridium is about $1/min.
The reason we use Outlook 2002 is because it does IMAP and Extended MAPI. There are NO OTHER email clients that run on Windows, do IMAP and support extended MAPI. We need extended MAPI for integration into Maximizer (crm type thing).
I remember the good 'ol days when your hard drive was 2 years and 11 months old, you'd backup your data, unhook it from your PC and proceed to chuck it against the wall. Then you'd send it in for warranty. They wouldn't have 8GB drives in stock anymore, so they'd likely send you a 20GB. Voila free upgrade.
When I used to play Sims, I'd have 2 girls and 1 guy living in the same house. One girl would always stay in the house. The other girl had a day job, and the guy had a night job. During the day I'd make the guy and girl have sex, and at night I'd make the two girls do it. On the weekends, they'd get jealous and fight because they'd see each other getting it on.
These kind of errors are usually caused by the shopping cart using your IP address to identify your session. If you and someone else are both shopping on the site and are going through the same proxy, you will see each others cart.
Just recently google has stopped promoting the AdWords system which was a pay per impression. And now is promoting AdWords Select which is a pay per click-through. With AdWords Select the advertiser specifies how much they are maximumly willing to pay for a click through. Whoever has the highest maximum for a given word is ranked first. This new method may be an out for Google on the lawsuit.

You know you're a geek when you post to Slashdot and mix up 'your' and 'you're'.

Did anyone else first see this as "Sun Redhat On Web Services & .Net" ?
And then when the probe stops the earths core from spinning we will send down a team to ignite nuclear bombs to restart it.

If you're getting started with Knoppix (and speak English), you should also check out knoppix.net for the excellent forums hosted there.
I think one can assume english is spoken if you're reading an english web site.

Here is a good site with a wealth of technical information on how SMS works behind the scenes.
I find that SMS messages are particularily prone to failure when sending between different carriers. Here in BC for instance we have Telus, Rogers and Fido all providing SMS.

Now THAT would make some great TV.

There's one on Ebay for auction.
Those guys had a website up even before Arpanet was functional? Now that's innovative.
