After Enron, MCI Worldcom, etc. I would gladly hear that those assholes at the top serve 10 years in federal prison in addition to repaying all the damages.
I heard that an EVP of some bank in China got caught for doing basically the same thing and he got the death penalty. He decided to return all the money he stole hoping the courts would be more lenient but his sentence was only postponed by 2 years. How's that for a deterrent? I'm not saying I totally agree with his sentence but when I hear about people with $ getting away with all sorts of shit, a part of me kinda think "why not?"
I guess the next paradigm is the Borg interface tapped into your skull. No typing needed. Just think and you'll reach your buddies. Don't cloud your thoughts with your wildest, most-intimite fantasies or they'll be broadcast throughout the whole network.
VirtualEarth has much higher resolution than Google Maps; however, I don't like Virtual Earth producing errored tiles on many occasions. It is definitely a downer when the empty tile obscure the area I want to see.
It's Monday so I assume it is live. There are also problems with the interface's response. You see tiles filled in on many more occasions than Google Maps, where in contrast, the dragging/scrolling navigation is very very smooth and seamless.
One other thing is that it's quite apparent that Virtual Earth's overlay is not quite as accurate as Google Maps. I notice a lot more places that have the overlayed streets lie outside the aerial photos'. I only noticed occasional places where Google Maps did this.
The reason why I still use Yahoo Maps is because it prints better than Google Maps. The last time I tried printing was around 2 months ago. I couldn't get the map to display the route Google plotted in the zoom level I wanted (or print with a destination bubble). Google defaults to the initial route zoom (fairly high level). The printout of the text directions also was too large using too many sheets of paper. It didn't produce any output when I printed from Firefox--I had to use IE in order to get my output. Printer is a PS-based printer.
Google has fixed the problem with output problems in Firefox and the text size.
Sort folders to top of directory listings. I hate this about Windows. Does anyone know how to disable this under Windows XP/2003? When I sort by name, I want to sort by name, not folders first and then name. Duh.
VNC (or TightVNC) is passable on ethernet. But on anything slower like DSL, it is agonizing. Running Windows Remote Desktop over DSL is like VNC under ethernet.
From a purely aesthetic perspective, I noticed that Burnout 3 had faux far-east characters while the screenshots for Burnout Revenge has real far-east characters.
It is understood that "hand carved" doesn't imply the use of power tools. To the actual sculpture's credit, his website does not state that it's hand carved--the AC submitter did that. Hmm, maybe it was the author who submitted.
With trade floors so hectic and fast paced, I'm not sure if a warning message would suffice. I think the only way to help prevent this from happening is if there are two people inputting the trades (not sitting next to one another) so stuff like this can be properly cross-checked. Otherwise, if you're on trade #300 of 350 and you already received 50 warnings, chances are you'll press "OK" again as though the warning didn't have any validity.
Well, yes, this is something that we don't like too much about Amazon, but my wife prefers Amazon over eBay because eBay will charge you regardless if you sell your product.
I recall looking at the Networking tab under Windows Task Manager and I'm using less than 30% of the available bandwidth. That's why it is so strange. I find that I could actually initiate 2 or more sessions and I can get around 3-4MB/s for all combined transfers. Anyone else know why?
I ran into this when I had an old (read: unsupported) Macintosh (w/ G4 upgrade) running OS X 10.2.x/10.3.x via a PCI 100baseT ethernet card (DEC21x4-based) transferring to a Windows 2K3 box (i875P Intel PRO/1000MT-based w/ cygwin ssh) and I was getting something like 2-2.5MB/s using ssh (connected to a Netgear FS108 switch). When I used an iBook G4 to do the transfer, I got something like 3-3.5MB/s. I never figured out why it was slower on the Windows box. Memory and CPU were not the bottlenecks and the network had plenty of bandwidth. Maybe it was the QoS in Windows... but like I said there was plenty of network bandwith.
Anybody w/ more experience under Windows know more?
It would depend on the implementation. Not all mobos with built-in ports have "direct access." Some of them go through a shared bus or worse, the PCI bus.
How can Hayao Miyazaki save Disney's "soul"? Disney is just a distribution company for Ghibli works. If all Disney's in-house productions suck then their soul is already dead.

No, he'll have some funky smile and say "Oooooookaaaay."

Or if you use something like PGP Disk, it has the option of automatically unmounting your encypted drives after a certain time has elapsed.
Crashes under IE 6.0.3790.0. Windows 2003 Server.
What's even odder is if you zoom all the way out you will see 3 Americas continents and a little over 2 Europe/Africa/Asia continents.

Submitted bug.
Get a Mac.
This is even more annoying. You have folders placed first within each group. Quite retarted on MS's part here.

Yeah, maybe those guys compared it to running Windows XP under VirtualPC.

Well, under OS X, ifconfig says
media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
while under Windows, the adaptor's setting is "Auto Detect" under the Link Speed & Duplex.

Intel's implementation for the 865P/875P chipset goes through the memory hub directly http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/schematics/25 281202.pdf while the i845 chipset has the ethernet interface connected to the ICH4 controller hub that is shared among other devices like the PCI bus http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/2519 2401.pdf. VIA's PT894/PT880 ethernet connection goes through a "VIA Connectivity" bus much like the Intel 845 http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/p4-seri es/pt894pro and http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/p4-seri es/pt880. There were some value motherboards that although I recall that they use good/decent chipsets, their designers decided to connect the built-in gigabit ethernet ports off the PCI bus. I cannot recall what these were but I read about them in anandtech several years ago.
