Even back in the 1980's the military was using Tyvek from DuPont for important operating manuals. Really tough stuff, stain resistant and tough to tear.
I listened to an interview with Kevin last week on NPR (National Public Radio in the US). Since the beginning of the year he has been allowed to use a computer to write a book. Part of the deal was that he not mention it to the press. Well, his probation officer accidently mentioned it in an interview so the cat is out of the bag.
Wht don't they host a Linux-based webmail service and make it much less painfull to donate. If they are already paying monthly for Webmail or are subjected to tons of spamming from free webmail services, they may be more attracted to a Ad+Spam, secure webmail service for $10/mos. Plus the warm fuzzy feeling that comes from supporting Free Software!
I was simply bown away watching a 4,5 and 6 year old glued to the screen for the entire movie. No potty breaks and no wandering minds. Hell, my oldest probably caught only 10% of the subtitles.
Such a widely read opinion as yours surely must have a project laying around you could use as an example of your preaching. Preferrably one you yourself wrote.
In my experience many in the IT field fall into one of two categories: Those who do the work and those who make a living telling people there are better ways to do the work (this group usually correlates with people who couldn't actually do the work themselves). Reading your resume it is readily aparent what category you fall into...
Kuro5hin.org and SlashDot are successful if you look in terms of small-business successful. But not compared to Time and People magazine. Drudgereport is another example of a "success". It seems the key to success in this new medium is to keep overhead to a minimum and provide content that isn't availabile elsewhere.
In other words, targeting specific consumers. Salon is out there covering much of the same material with the same slant as the mainstream media. Sure they do some innovative stuff and take a little more risk, but really not that often.
I think there are many reasons Salon is failing: too much overhead, lack of a print version, content too stagnant for the medium(NET). But the real nail in the coffin is their far-left reporting/editorial. The Fray is great, but if you are going to post a bunch of baseless rhetoric to get readers fired up you had better have a convenient method for opposing views to reply. Otherwise you wind up with former readers like me, who don't like to be beaten-up with our arms tied behind our backs. Disagreeing with many of the articles drove me to read the site, but in the end it also drove me away. Slate is a similar site, but the forum is much more accessible and tied to the content and the authors/guest writers and columnists seem to actually read the forum posts.
And I take it as a great compliment when one of my former employers calls for some help. I think you should too. Then again, I know I've been lucky to work for some great people.
It seems to me that the relevant question should be, "what devices rely on magnetic compasses?". With GPS around I'm not too sure what does. Getting that Compass Merit Badge may get tougher tho.
If he weren't the antichrist. I get really sick of the UN blabbering all the time and not really doing anything. They always seem to be a day late and a dollar short.
Complaining about the "digital divide" is just hogwash. Computers are just a tool. Like any other tool it has to be right for the job. Computers won't feed people. Neither will satellite phones. Genetically modified rice and corn can though.
If the law says using the XDoc specification is illeagal without purchasing a license then MS owns your data and it is irrelevant wether the data format is human-readable or easily parsable. MS is making the format less obscured because they have made using the format illegal without licensing.
Really this isn't any different that the rest of the entertainment industry. Maybe not different that any industry.
If you focus on any industry to the point where you follow the preproduction and production of games that won't be released years from now, you should expect a low success rate.
At lot of movies make it to various stages of development and die. The same is true in every industry from cereal to music. Really you should be shocked when any particular studio keeps cranking out hit after hit.
I would surmise these successful outfits all follow a common strategy of exploiting a niche they dominate or remixing past products to save development and advertisment costs.
SAIC Awarded Common Criteria Certificate for Microsoft Windows 2000 Operating System Evaluation
(MCLEAN, VA) Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) today announced that it has received a National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Common Criteria certificate for successfully performing the evaluation of the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system. SAIC's Common Criteria Testing Laboratory (CCTL) performed the evaluation and received the certificate at the Federal Information Assurance Conference (FIAC) 2002 in College Park, Md.
"SAIC is proud to have contributed to this Common Criteria milestone event and congratulates Microsoft for attaining this significant achievement in computer security," said Duane Andrews, SAIC corporate executive vice president.
The Windows 2000 operating system evaluation was conducted in accordance with ISO 15048 Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) Level 4 Augmented requirements and was evaluated against the Common Criteria Controlled Access Protection Profile, which is consistent with the commercial-level information security requirements for the Department of Defense (DoD). An EAL4 is the highest evaluation rating that a commercial CCTL can perform and Windows 2000 is the first operating system to achieve an EAL4 rating under the United States Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS).
"The SAIC CCTL took on a complex challenge, and we were successful in completing the evaluation of the Windows 2000 operation system," said Tammy Compton, co-director of the SAIC CCTL, and the leader of the evaluation team. "The common criteria evaluation methodologies we used were applied to Windows 2000 without using evidence from any previous evaluations. This led to the completion of one of the more challenging projects we have conducted, and we are confident of more successful evaluations in the near future."
"We have embraced the Common Criteria evaluation process from its inception, because we saw the high quality bar for security we could provide to customers," said Bill Veghte, corporate vice president, Windows Server Group, Microsoft Corp. "With CC certification and the support resources we are releasing today, customers now have an internationally-recognized template for Windows 2000 that enables them to build an IT system for secure computing beyond that of any other commercially-available platform today."
Located in Columbia, Md., the SAIC CCTL is a division of SAIC's Secure Business Solutions and was accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) in August 2000. SAIC CCTL was one of the first commercial laboratories to be listed in the NIAP's CCEVS.
SAIC's Secure Business Solutions provides security solutions for networks and business systems. Its 500 engineers can assess, test, design, certify, deploy, and manage solutions for information and physical security, and train organizations to be a core part of overall security solutions.
It sounds like sound economics to me to sell products at prices the market will bear. My definition of "Price Fixing" is when unrelated companies in the same industry group together to decide prices. "Price fixing" undermines compition in the marketplace.
This is double-screwy and quite hypocritical when you consider the artificial EU VAT TAX THAT IS NOTHING MORE THAN GOVERNMENT-MANDATED PRICE FIXING. But I digress. Can't wait till they pull this one on the drug companies -notorious for variable pricing.
In the 1961 book Stranger in a Strange Land. Quite an achievment to add a word to the English language. It means "To understand profoundly through intuition or empathy.
to comprehend.
I've worked on similar scripts and the amusing par is that it should be possible to pull the data straight from the government database. I even went as far as to identify a database product that the federal government and a lot of states use on their websites.
Is it corporate spying to monitor another company's network traffic? Not to mention that the only way they could identify the material as infringing would be to intercept that traffic.

I've paid monthly as a member of a lobby group to support the company I work for. Why not support a more important politcal organization?
How about Mothra? Since they kinda compete.

Glad to see the city thinks fiscal responsability is a good thing.

And how long would it take to push debris into an enemy satellite? Or form a large enough mass to plunk down on an unsuspecting enemy?
I usually bakl at any kind of talk like this unless I see pictures.

Bigger laptop drives are wonderfull, but even my 5400 RPM drive seem horribly slow compared to my desktop.
