I call bullshit on the liberal media. That's just a catch-all used by conservatives to ignore anything and everything in the media they don't agree with. Like global warming, caused by green house gases, that was suppose to be some liberal idea. Well now even the Bush administration has stated that human action from driving automobiles to running power plants helped cause global warming.
Now, Salon for example is liberal, but I don't think they are hiding that fact. Most of the media is relatively conservative.
On a side note: I think most people confuse a free society with a liberal society. If you live in a free society there will be things that offend you. Just because they offend you doesn't mean they are liberal or conservative. They just don't align with your beliefs. That's the beauty of democracy.
Definitely mismanaged. Sun should have let Java grow from the ground up in the late 90s instead of over-marketing it. Judging by the comments here, server side implementations written in Java seem to work well. In the late 90s Sun would have had you believe that every microprocessor from your microwave to your cable box to your car was going to run Java. At the time the only user experience with Java was on their Pentium 233Mhz processor and a slow internet connection. That makes a bad impression. Furthermore, who the hell decided to name JavaScript, JavaScript. That just confused matters more.
You answered your own question. RSA here means the RSA Public Key Cryptography Standard The AES key (which is a symmetrical cipher key) was encrypted using RSA PKCS.
AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) A client/server protocol used by Apple file service on
Macintosh-compatible computers to share files and network services. AFP uses TCP/IP and
other protocols to communicate between computers on a network.
You are correct, because it's still a 'big purchase' to buy a computer. But if the prices get low enough, computers will start becoming more like DVD players where you can just grab whatever is on sale.
I'm an electrical engineer, and I've been using my TI-85 for over ten years now. I think it's just a matter of personal preference. The RPN users were definetly in the minority in all my engineering, math and science classes, if there were any at all.
Yup, most suppliers have to warehouse their product near Dell factories. JIT inventory was pioneered by Toyota. Do a quick search on google and you'll find information about it. Interesting stuff.
Well maybe not never, but it seems that computers are on the verge of going completely to a commodity device, if they already haven't.
As computers get cheaper, which in turn makes them more disposable, which in turn makes the purchase of one not that big of a deal, people will seek out the lowest price, not caring as much about quality, if they can get another one cheaply. We're not there yet, but almost. It's looking like the new opportunity is laptops, they are coming down in price and accounting for more and more computer sales, but Dell is already leading there too.
I think the more interesting part, is what's going to happend to Apple as computer prices keep going down. The price jump to a Mac seems to get longer and Apple's computer sales keep dropping.
Dell uses just-in-time inventory and has the component makers store the parts until Dell needs them. Basically the parts aren't Dell's until they are in the system.
Just goes to show you that sometimes the/. crowd knows nothing. All the talk in the video industry is about H.264 (one of the newer MPEG 4 codecs) and not one mention of it here?
Actually I have hired people and been involved with small businesses and I assumed a salary of $75,000 so that's $25,000 for everything else. Most likely these people would not be working in an office, but from their homes. 100% overhead for $75,000 a year position, I'd like to see you even justify 50% overhead per employee, maybe if you make $35,000 but not $75,000. It's no longer 1999, it's 2003. You can take the Aeron chairs out of the budget.
The extra 2 mil is just a bonus. But it goes fast if you're paying for 4 full-time coders to work on the project for a few years.
It goes fast? Let's say each coder costs $100,000 a very liberal estimate. 4 coders * $100,000 = $400,000 $2,000,000/$400,000 = 5 Years That's a very long time to be guarenteed a job.

RSA encrypted AES key
You answered your own question. RSA here means the RSA Public Key Cryptography Standard The AES key (which is a symmetrical cipher key) was encrypted using RSA PKCS.
Since all he got was the public key, you can't actually decrypt streams that are being sent.
Isn't that the point? Why do you care about the private key? Are you going to design and build your own AirPort Express?
It prevents bugzilla from becoming a handbook for script kiddies.
Just in case you were wondering, I know I was...
AFP = Apple Filing Protocol
That wasn't a rewrite. The 9x/ME code base was separate from NT.
This guy is just pissed he has to learn new stuff.

Prove it. I've found many references to Toyota being the pioneer.

Are you the same person that said to wait ten yearsf for all this stuff, ten years ago?
Nope, you just have to do it REALLY fast...
And don't forget to lick all the Cheetos orange dust off your fingers before you start.
Sonic Blue does not exist anymore.
Why is this such a big deal, when Dell has been selling a laptop for under $800 for a while in one offer or another. Like this one.

But not Emmett Plant I guess...
Like I'm going to trust a review about a LAMP book from someone that doesn't even know what LAMP means. Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP or Perl or Python.

A little off topic but still of interest, the XFree86 project is now using Bugzilla which sounds like a step in the right direction.
