The Internet was designed to be durable. It is built with many points of failure and it is supposed to function even with many of those points disabled.
There is a big difference between practice and theory. It is designed durable, but it is not built like that everywhere. Business people are not Computer Scientists. They build networks in which cost is a factor.
I guess some kid here in Canada could do it. Th U.S. couldn't touch.
Wait, the would call him a terrorist and get him extradited to the U.S. where he would be inprisoned in an undisclosed location and not allowed to speak with his lawyer. It's just sophisticated kid-napping really.
Was this information ever given to anybody? Are there any other copies around? We could have it posted on the web up here in Canada. Our government has no problem with that sort of thing.
DARPAnet was one of the networks that became a part of the internet. The internet was patched together from many existing networks around the world.
Also, other technologies needed to be invented to make the world wide web possible. Technologies such as DNS and HTTP which wasn't invented until 1991.
It costs money and time and expertise to establish a world-wide shipping channel. You have to know a lot more about international trade law, and liabilities in cases of returns/exchanges/credits are much more complex.
My friend has order parts from Australia (we live in Canada). There seems to be no problems for Australia to ship around the world.
"whether the company had properly offered communications protocols allowing non-Microsoft software to work well with Windows"
This is a problem. One that made me decide to switch email clients. A while back, my prof. send me my mark back in an attached file. I did not not "get the attachment". I hounded him a couple of times for the mark. He insisted that he sent it to me. He even said that my reply had the file attached. I did some investigation, and found that the attached file was there, but wasn't showing up in the user interface. On further investigation, I found that this is an issue when Outlook XP recieves attachments from Pine. Microsoft was aware of the problem and had no plans to fix it.
I have no idea why Outlook XP would recieve an attachment from Pine and not show it. It would seem like the code would almost have to be made to purposely do that. Who knows, maybe it is a bug.
A few months later, switch over to Linux entirely. I now use evolution. I never looked back.
I've seen a good one. It list's a few of their "security checks". It reports you as being alright except for one of them. It says you should get their product.
Yeah..., but the Canadian networks are paying the American networks to rebroadcast the superbowl. As part of the deal, the get to replace the ads. Besides, it doesn't make any sense to run American ads on Canadian TV. If Coke wants to run an ad on Canadian TV, they can pay the Canadian networks for it. In turn, money gets past onto the American networks.
Ok, it's ok for a user to decide that they want to modify the contents of a page however they see fit. But to have third party do it? How would you feel if you knew that somebody was altering the links on your web page without the user knowing it. Is this a violation of free speech? I mean, what if I had a link to a web site that some middle man didn't approve of, and they changed it?
Interesting to that the war on drugs goes after people who are not in the pharmacudacle industry. At the same time, the pharmacudacle industry is finding its own ways to push its legal drugs on the population.
"You have [insert disorder hear]. Take these drugs daily. Do not miss a hit, i mean dosage. Do not miss a dosage. You may feel strange at first. Don't worry, that'll go away once your body becomes dependent on it, I mean, gets used to it. It'll go away once your body gets used to it."
No, the market for developers would not shrink. If software becomes a comodity, then their will be a lot more brands of software. Someone needs to customize the product so that the brand has its own style (gimicks whatever). It consumerism is all about.
Let me illustrate this point. I was watching TV while thinking about this matter. It disturbed me that software was going to become a comodity. As I was thinking about this, I saw an ad on TV. You know the 'intuition' ad? Basically it's for a womens razor that has the lubricant built in. The ad poked fun at the traditional way of shaving. I thought "This is bullshit consumerism."
Then I realized, Razors are comodities. The intuition is razor that has been modified for consumer purposes. Even though I don't buy into this consumer bullshit, most people do.
Hence, people will buy branded software because of it's features or gimicks. Thus, there will be more companies producing modified software, and hence more jobs for developers. More demand = more pay.
I don't think that this technology is terribly useful. Instant messaging is a casual method for communication (for the most part) and people tend have friends and bussiness associates who speak a language that they can understand.
Language translation is mostly used in oral settings like in government and the UN or for translating documents. I don't think this is useful technology to 99.9% of IM users.
I am not exactly sure what System V refers to, but I thought it was in regards to how the start-up and configuration files were organised. If thats the case, it doesn't even make sense to say that System V code ended up in the kernel.
Another strange thing he said along the lines of "Maybe their supercomputer hasn't spit out an algorithm for a response yet". Obviously this guy doesn't know what he is talking about. He using big words and hurling insults to sway public opinion.
I have been finding the latest Microsoft ad campain funny. "This busy butterfly will keep you protected."..."Our email filters are built from advanced Microsoft Software".

actually, that's a browser setting. Try setting your email client to evolution.
ya, i did. I sent myself the file from another box with outlook n it and it showed up.

It detects my OS as "Windows". I run Linux.

This is ridiculus.
oops, a little mistake. assume that my alias.sh file contain the line:
cp="cp -r"
Don't Copy That Flopy
/mnt/floppy ~/myWarez
cp
This would have been usefull back in the 386 era.

Is it just me, or does the medical seem bent on clasifying every human trait as a dissorder?
If your not getting noise from the CPU or other devices, then onboard is fine for listening to music.
If you are are a musician doing recordings, spend some dough and get a high quality external sound D/A converter.
There really is not difference between pci sound cards and onboard sound. External sound is where the real difference is made.
Maybe, but at least there will be more than one major player, instead of just Microsoft.

Next thing you know, the FBI will be taking DNA samples off of communist books in the library. Who knows, mabey some commie sneezed in a book.
I must find a way to encrypt my DNA.

Typical egotistical American attitude.
