The fact of the matter is that you are purchasing a service, and as the providers of the service they are allowed to set the rules. If they wanted to set the rules such that every domain must start with the letters "ie" they could, and I don't see any reason they shouldn't. It is their service, and they should be allowed to set the terms. Period.
The truth of the matter is that if enough people didn't like it, they wouldn't sell enough domains to stay profitable, and they would be forced to change.
I'm sure this concept will be completely foreign to the socialist minions here on Slashdot, but that's how capitalism works. Your business, your terms. Government run or not, that's the way it is. If you don't like it, go buy a domain name somewhere else, and stop whining. Nobody is trying to oppress you, they just don't want their registry polluted with filth.
Net Transport from XI-Soft will schedule downloads. It supports http, rtsp, and mms. It also has FlashGot integration for Firefox, which makes it super easy to add streams. Give that a look.
This is exactly the type of behavior and thinking we do NOT need as the head of a Linux User Group. The spirit of open software is open to everyone, regarless of anything!
Take your ball, and go play somewhere else you whiny little brat.
Microsoft has shown time and time again that they will not embrace cross platform compatibility or open standards. The combination of the established Flash userbase, immense library of third party tools and training, open standard, and Macromedia's commitment to cross platform compatibility will ensure the dominance of Flash. If I was Macromedia, I would not be worried in the slightest amount.
We sell a transaction processing application that has a CGI based GUI. It's written entirely in C++ because management doesn't believe in scripting languages, and doesn't understand what can be done to protect scripted code from prying eyes. As a result, our GUI is horribly slow, error riddled, platform dependant (HP, Solaris, & Win32), and extremely inflexible. Our customers hate it, and it has lead me to start an open-source project to replace our CGI GUI with an open-sourced PHP GUI. (Done as an un-official external project of course)
I live in Texas, which is a right-to-hire/right-to-fire state. Basically they can fire you if they don't like your shoes.
My opinion would be to follow other's advice, get a visibility and availability agreement signed, and let them pull your credit.
If they fire you, claim unemployment, and hire a lawyer.
I did a background/credit check to work for the second largest credit union in the US. My credit is pretty messed up, but they didn't fire me. Even though, they easily could have.
Unless you've done something extremely bad, I wouldn't worry about it.
In the golden days of MS-DOS, I remember using the ground breaking graphical interface of Prodigy. Prodigy used a telephone line to conduct automated financial transactions in the 80's. Prodigy also included sales representation using images. This was followed shortly by AOL which also used graphical images to sell products and conduct financial transactions via telephone line.
One thing that I found interesting in the wording of the patent is that it states "... provides an infinite number of combinations... " How is this even possible? With a finite amount of data, how can an infinite number of combinations of said data be made in any usable form?
It also seems that the main target of this patent would be online travel reservation sites. But again, I remember such services being available in the 80's on Prodigy, AOL and Compuserve.
In Sanders' comments, he asserts that most non-MS operating system run on proprietary hardware. That is extremely misleading! Sanders' even uses Sun's Solaris & Mac OS as examples. Yes, Solaris does run on the proprietary Sparc platform, but it also runs on the x86 platform as well. And what about Darwin? Darwin is the open source brainchild of Mac OS X that runs on the Risc chip platform and x86. Chips that AMD sells can and do run Solaris & Darwin. Do you think that he knows that?
While the vast majority of the popular non-M$ alternatives can and do run on proprietary hardware, that is sidestepping the fact that most also run on the same proprietary/reverse-engineered platform that the M$ operating system run on. All of the Linux distros, the BSD's, Solaris and even Apple's Darwin OS can run on both proprietary hardware and x86 based hardware.
But why bring attention to the fact that there are alternatives to Micro$oft?
I'm glad I haven't bought that Athlon XP yet. Looks like I'll be getting a P4 instead. At least Intel has the kahones to stand up to big brother. In more arena than one.
I read an article in Linux Journal a few years back when Dell first started supporting Linux. Michael Dell said that he had his webmasters run a report on their website and give him a lis of the most frequent search terms. Linux was #1. Michael asked "What is Linux?"... and the rest is history... That's how Dell got started with Linux. Dell is a smart guy, and figured out early that there was momentum behind Linux, and got in early. It was the pressure of Microsoft that forced them to backout. That's what that whole store is about. Pressure from Microsoft to stop promoting Linux. There is no conspiracy.
If you notice, the paper he published was part of a proposal for a research grant to see if this is even possible. Right now, this is all theory and conjecture. DJB is trying to get financing to pay for this little research project. My guess is that in a post Sept. 11 world, the government will most likely look at this project as dangerous and borderline terroristic. I don't see it getting off the ground.
What do you think the realistic impact on illegal music trading would be if the technology you tested was implemented on a widescale basis now that your research is in the public domain?
A dude from IBM just e-mailed me and told me that they would still support the system running Debian, but that they just couldn't help me if I had trouble configuring/maintaining it.
That'll work for me.
The main reasons for me behind purchasing an IBM server is their support and service. And their unflinching support of Linux!
Whatever happened to IBM's statement that they will support any Linux distro on the planet on an IBM eServer?
I was just about to order a whole set of those little guys and was planning on running Debian GNU/Linux on them. If it won't be supported, I'll have to buy something else, or dog forbid build them myself.
Yes it was. Now it is full of self-righteous, holier-than-thou, anonymous assholes who are quick to point out any little thing that they think has been missed, and make a political speach.
I was simply pointing out the fact that most of the other posters missed. Sony has been using TiVo technology for a while now. The posts I read appeared to be from readers who did not know that Sony has been working with TiVo in the past.
Sony has had products with TiVO inside for quite some time. You can purchase a Sony DirecTV reciever with TiVO inside. I've thought about purchasing one ever since I read the Linux Journal article about the TiVO.
I tell the person on the other end "Dude, this is a pay phone... I'm outside Denny's... You got my stuff?" That gets my number removed, and they don't call back.
You guys are missing the point of their comment

RIAA To Target CD-R
·
· Score: 1
If you guys would click around on the RIAA site, you will see that when they mentioned CD-R as a growing problem, they are talking about bootleg CD-R vendors. The main problem they are talking about is people who setup a "CD-R Plant" and start burning copies of CDs to sell on the street as legit copies. They only mentioned people who download songs in an attempt to get people talking about it. Bingo! It worked!

Oddly enough, they also have Half Life 2 available as preorder as well listing September 1, 2004 ...
They will even give you a deal if you pre-order both at the same time ... I'm not holding my breath.
Take your ball, and go play somewhere else you whiny little brat.
Can I get this in a 12' poster? Maybe a T-Shirt?

I'm currently the only seed and my upload speed is pegged out at 390KB/s. I'm sure it'll pick up.
