The best advice I got (now in retrospective) when starting out was to buy an telescope that was easy to take out and setup, the best scope is the scope you use often.
"I'd be seriously pissed if I found out lawyers were skimming massive amounts from public settlements on behalf of my state or county. Where's it going eh?"
IT-infrastructure to manage the case. In other words:
* Sharpoint servers * Office 2007 * Upgrades to Windows Vista Ultimate * New hardware for above mentioned software
"From the description, they do not need physical access to your keys, that why they said in your pocket."
It sounds strange that its possible to read something from the key while not pressing any of the button on it. If it constantly sends out stuff, shouldnt the batteries go away directly then ? Or did I miss something ?
In normal cases when you see news like this I would be tempted to say that this is something that will never materalize, but Japan have a trackrecord of going their own way with for example mobilephone networks. WIll be interesting to watch if they getting anywhere with this.
"In what way is this functionally different than the same hypervisor being installed on a bootable USB flash drive/IDE-attached CompactFlash card"
Its more secure having the actually memory embedded inside the machine instead on the outside in a port, accessible for anyone that have physicall access to your office.
Probably not, the amount of free publicity they get is nothing less then amazing. As a company owner, I can assure you that getting something written about your company is very tricky.
I think however that Apples decade long love affair with printed media have played an important part in this, it cant just be credited Jobs alone.
Think of it, most of the people that decides whats getting printed and not, have spent most of their professional life working on Apple products, and are probably card carrying members of the Apple fan club, cant get better than that.
I wonder how many inventors etc that have heard that proclamation during the centuries, if we acknowledge this as the truth, the game is over even before it starts.
If there is anything that will put a dent in Itunes its Joost, solid concept, network backing and the creators have a track record of creating stuff that stirs up some dust in the industry (www.skype.com)
That would be great, but in reality, when people invest enough money into something and there is ubiquitous support for it, it tend to stick and migration to something new drags on forever.
And there is so much big corporate inter politics involved with each side rallying their alternatives that it looks like we are stuck with the lowest common denominator, that beeing for the moment javascript.
This might be far fetched but how far off is it to use these filesystems as a revision control system replacement ?
Never tinkered with any of these filesystems, but wouldnt it be very comfortable for at least us developers to have a filesystem that worked something like Subversion. Just hook up something on the network and use it as the central code repository.
"The nearby nuclear power plant here has three reactors, each of which can generate over 1100MW"
How much energy was/is spent building it, maintaining it, mining for its fule,transporting the fule and manage its waste ? You need to offset that before you can draw any conclusions about its efficency.
"Without the ability to install custom apps on it, the chance that the iPhone will be a popular choice for mobile corporate users does seem pretty slim."
I might be totaly wrong, but from what I've read you can install software on the darn thing, its just that the software needs to be approved in someway by Apple. So while you probably cant run your latest home made epic, you will be able to install and use approved software, not manufactured by Apple.
Makes me wonder when we'r going to see a mail/group server from Mozilla. Having a complete replacement for the MS exchange/Outlook stack is kind of the best starting point you can get to implement other OS:es on the desktop in large scale.
Have been using it (2.0) for a day now and so far its a really nice experiance.
The greatest thing with Thunderbird is its "simplicity" (do not confuse with "simple, bare minimum") it just very easy to get into and when you'r ready there is allot of usefull features that the advanced user appricate.
Having used 1.5 for a long period of time its also one of the more stable programs I'v use every day, havnt so far seen a crash or something that dosnt work as intended.

I would say that its a bigger issue that they still send upp the shuttle than the lightsaber in question.

"That isn't what I would call good traction for Microsoft's overwhelmingly dominant office suite"
Its a worthless metric, how many OOXML have been stored in various internal Sharepoint servers around the world ?

It would be interesting to know if there are any actual hardware out there generated from Opensparc.
I think you missed the point, the problem is to stop people/programs to tamper with the log once its written...
I think you just described Windows Vista Bitlocker.
"Where's the scandal here?"
That its posted on this site as news....
Unless they have a way to re-create the Martian magnetic field they can forget the terraforming...

No they will claim it was already there for us to discovered, sort of a background story to a moive franchise :)

Yea, its really a great peice of software.

This might come off as offtopic, but I'll take the risk.
Is there anyone here that have experiance with both of these databases that can explain in simple terms why one would go with MySQL over Firebird ?
No intention of starting a flamewar, I'm just interested in finding out the major pro's and con's between the two.
Not to be rude, but, here, have a free CR/LF (free as in beer).
