The English->french->german->english translation rocked! Always a laugh.
The article translated:
Waterlooppln77 document "Alta Vista changed recently search engines for it, around more competition with Google.com. to leave it offers a whole set of new devices like the research by pdf documents and débarasse substantially the thingie commercialcolumn-resounds." Everyone remember when Alta Vista was the best research engine?
They travel to a world where they are attacked, the scientists screw up dramatically and the military has to go in and save the day, all the while the alien companions know absolutely nothing about the world, have nothing of value to input, and in general get underfoot throughout the entire episode.
We can call this season: Journey to the not-so-parallel universe.
I think that what these broadband companies should be doing is putting together a strong traffic policy and implementing it. Traffic shaping at the border routers, multiple access points from their networks to the rest of the internet, and adding value added services to their own networks. The days of merely supplying internet are over, it's time to add value added services, almost to the point of AOL. Build a strong network infrastructure, host as much as possible locally, and they could serve their customers better while keeping their own recurring costs down.
So my suspicions of Steven Hawking being a giant puppet are true. That is obviously where the guy puts his right hand while working the speak-and-spell with the left!
That is a very depressive outlook on the internet. Why, because it's true. I guess that our ideals of what the internet could be often blinds us to what the internet is. I don't subscribe to any sites, and do nothing for them aside from suck up their bandwidth. And then I am shocked when they dissappear from cyberspace.
Let them sell off my information. Let them spam me, let these sites *gasp* make money to survive. There is no such thing as a free lunch. I've told the users which I support that same statement over and over again when they download all those seemingly free programs like hotbar and bonzai buddy. And yet I can't get it through my thick skull that even though I pay to access the internet, my responsiblity doesn't stop there. If I am to continue to use these sites, should they not get paid?
Remeber, information is free, but you have to pay the tarriffs and transportation costs.
I don't understand the business planning that went into the broadband market. The adopters of broadband got broadband not just for faster net access, but for more. These companies catered to that, with commercials showing video conferencing, highlighting music sharing and telling the public that the sky's the limit. Now that they have a customer base, they are telling us that they lied, that we are only supposed to be looking at web pages. They attempted to control the stream by adopting adsl and asymmetric cable, proxy servers on their own network, and it just isn't good enough! Is access to internet backbones that expensive or are we getting hosed as consumers here?
Set up a P.O. Box or use a mail forwarding service.
Mailboxes etc. has a handy resource for a majority of small business questions. Check it out here.
This isn't a plug ( I don't work for them), but your business is their business. Even if you don't use their services, their small business page has great information on it.
This is a way for you to control your information. You set guidelines, and the websites have to operate within those guidelines. Could a website lie? Sure. But now you're forcing them to lie rather than grudginly accepting a convoluted mess of a privacy policy.
3. You should also have a compact policy associated with the cookie itself. This is done by sending the compact policy string of text along with the HTTP header when setting the cookie. The format of this text will vary depending on which web server software package you are using on your site. See Deployment Guide Section 3.1 "Using HTTP Headers" and Deployment Guide Appendix A for a discussion of various implementations.
You mean nearly as informed.
A lot of people don't understand the tracking that goes on. They still see the internet as everyone being anonymous, just because they don't understand the technology.
And your attempt to call me a nut by stating exactly what I am saying does what....?
I can only assume by the spelling and grammatical errors that english is not your primary language, and you completely misunderstood my post.
Someone who really wants to run Linux will choose his own distro and install crossover office himself, not buy a desktop OS that does not have the functionality of a server. Those who want to replace MS as their desktop but love office will consider this as a viable alternative, and that's the market Suse is aiming for.
Ergo, you're a geek in training.
I have no doubts about your general geekieness, but as for your linux geekiness, it's only building. Pretty soon you'll drop the training wheels and use the gui to have 30 terminal windows open at a time.
You prove my point exactly.
Yeah, but they don't work with office.
I've tried them all, and the formatting doesn't work out. Interestingly enough, OpenOffice.org will remove the passwords from a locked Excel Spreadsheet , so the incompatibility isn't all that bad.
How many geeks are going to buy a desktop OS? None. How many people want to try Linux but can't give up their Office(tm)? Suse apparently is banking on lots.
This is not for geeks. Maybe for geeks-in-training, but not for geeks!
Slashdot Mirror
Is everyone corrupt anymore?
How do I sign up to be a comittee member so I can get bought with absolutely no reprecussions?
Bwa-ha-ha-ha! Now there's a run on Google as the hordes of /.'ers go to get their fill!
Based on Altavista's up-to-date search info, just look it up.

No problem.
Hey you! Become an early adopter of new technology! That way I don't have to work so hard when I steal your ideas!

Who are they to tell us how to run the web? You'd think that they were a big group of people who pretty much invented the web by the way they act.
Hmmm, Looks like M$ should write their own version in .NET.
To hell with standards, we just want the data!
Goes with the friction burns on their left palms.
Oh well, Karma suicide for a good joke....
Orange is the new pink!
Kinda like having an XML Layout sheet tatooed on your forehead then running headlong into documents.

I think that this would be the same as not letting Stephen Hawking leave the country because he knows too much
Because I helped make it. That's why.
