I have Vonage VOIP. They gave me some cute little Cisco box (forgot the model number), and it works fine from behind my NAT firewall. I suspect it just opens up a connection to the VoIP server and sits there sending keepalives until theres a phonecall. Or maybe theres a heartbeat that updates my IP address. However it does it, it was totally painless and transparent to set up, and it's better than being integrated with the phone cause I can use it with any conventional phone I want.
Yes, but a large part of the reason it became politically unfavorable is that the people running the war were being fucking stupid and getting lots and lots and lots and lots of people killed.
The other major reason is that there was uncensored news footage coming out of the combat zones, which hasn't happened since and will never happen in the future if our military has anything to say abouti it.
Interpertations of market categories can be very broad. For example, some companies (like Pepsi, or Coca-Cola) are considered so large and well known that ANY use of the phrase can be considered infringing.
First off, this is French trademark law, not US, which may or may not be as fucked, but I'm not even remotely familiar with it. Furthermore, according to the article, in this case, "The result of the decision would be that any time the term "Bourse des Vols" was typed in, only ads for that specific site could be posted with the search results, Dariot said.". That sounds alot like a cross-industry effect to me.
In any case, this now makes Google responsible for what the context of a "competitive context" is, which has been known to be extremely widely defined by the courts.
Theres some controls that hinder performance alot more - for example, resize with the iTunes store open, and you'll see signifigant delays and 100% CPU spike. (In fact, resizing in any way - even just click & holding the corner without dragging - spikes the CPU, but it's just idle processing so thats okay). The "browse" playlist stuff has a similiar but less extreme effect. Resizing when just your library is showing won't be an issue.
As for Winamp, it actually has assloads of functionality that iTunes doesn't - they share a fairly small subset of "playing music files", but thats about it.
As for the standard titlebar, Winamp is a skinned media player. It acts like one. iTunes acts kinda like a skinned media player and kinda like a normal app and has a titlebar that sorta-kinda mimics a normal titlebar and sorta-kinda doesn't.
If you like iTunes, thats cool. It's hardly functional enough as a media player for me to use it, and the stuff it provides that Winamp doesn't isn't sufficent for me to switch. But you don't need to act like a scorned lover when someone else doesn't like it and posts perfectly legitimate complaints.
The OP probably does have some other issues (bad hard drive, incorrect swap settings, something) because I don't see the long load times and while I do see the resize issues (and you would too, if you looked) they aren't as extreme as his.
It's probably actually because iTunes wants 130 megs of vram. Quicktime wants 128, and thats just preloaded libraries. They're actually taking up more memory than anything on my system except the database process.
It's actually not, which you'd know if you were familiar with the Windows API. The "restore" button appears when you're maximized. It's there so you can go back to the size you were before. This button, while it mimics the appearance of the restore button, actually does something else.
This is an application issue as a rule, not an OS issue - I do tons of stuff at the same time and while individual apps may block, others are still reponsive. Looking more carefully at your post, you mention importing from a CD. Alot of systems will see slowdowns when ripping from a CD, because of IDE contention.
Bringing this back on topic, iTunes for Windows is especially bad in this regard, although alot better than the QT player. In particular, whatever HTML renderer they're using is VERY slow, especially scrolling and resizing.
I'm not sure why people are so excited about this thing - I prefer winamp or even WMP to this. There's far too much emphasis on "on-click" functionality at the expense of functionality.
The intranet streaming is cool. Access to the music store is, of course, nifty. As a media player, I'm totally under-wowed.
Heres another newsflash: Capitalism does some things poorly. One of the things it does poorly is handle monopolies. Having multiple competing registration authorities is counter productive, so somebody has to be in charge. Verisign was selected to be that someone (by ICANN, not by a government). They've since abused that position of trust to make a profit at the expense of the service they were entrusted with.
I didn't know that "buy it at a mall" was part of the definition of desktop, but you can certainly get them via mailorder. The machines that were tested were stock machines from harware OEMs that can buy exactly as tested. The Alienware Aurora, that beat the single-CPU G5 on all tests, and the dual on all but 2 tests (the photoshop ones), can be found here. $3200.
The all had the same ram, thats vram you're looking at. The difference is because thats how they ship, although they re-configured one of the Alienware machines to more closely match the Mac hardware.
This isn't intended to be a CPU test, which are faily useless in any case. This is a system test - thats why they're testing Alienware desktop systems. What exactly is not "real" about this test? If I'm encoding Quicktime video, it will complete twice as fast on my stock Alienware machine as it does on my G5.
Oh, and it doesn't take much to "notice" that - since it's all spelled out in plain text right on the benchmarks.
With all due respect, fuck you. Respect is earned, not forced. You can't indoctrinate respect, only obedience. Who're we respecting, anyway? I don't think the belief that America should be a Christian nation is worth respecting. I wouldn't sit in silence at a school prayer, either. Maybe you should respect MY beliefs and say the pledge privately in the morning before you get to school.
Theres a large, hidden divide in our country over the definition of patriotism. Some people believe that patriotism means pride in our country as it is, and to be patriotic means to support and endorse our country and it's leaders as they are. Others believe that patriotism is pride in our country as it could be, and that to dispute with our leaders is the highest of our patriotic obligations.
There's probably at least a few other definitions out there, too:P
Actually, you're wrong. You even demonstrate it in your post. God, with the capital G, is specific to Christian and Christian-like religions. God, with a little g, is a generic noun for a deity, but no religion other than Christianity refers to thier deity as God. Thats why it's associated with Christianity - because they're the only ones who do it. Pretty straightforward. As for what the term means, if you look back at the 50s when the phrase was added to the pledge, it was added with the purpose of declaring a faith in a Christian god. So if we're going by intent and meaning here, people have an extremely valid reason for refusing it.
You sound like a fine, upstanding citizen. I'll make a guess about your age (please let me know if I'm wrong) and tell me if you thought that being anti-communism in the Soviet Union was wrong, too.
You'd need a compiler (and an OS, for that matter) that can optimize things into parrallel actions to get any performance out of this thing, then. I wonder if they're planning on having one of those, and if they're going to release it for free or not - they'll probably have a hard time getting any sort of bite into the market without one.
Simply put - so fucking what? Theres a reason for all those layers of red tape in corporations. There's something called due dilligence, and basic responsibility.
In any case, the buisness decision for a major new product is hardly going to be decided by an informal discussion between an engineer and a manager. One of the reasons why not is that the engineer isn't the one taking the risk if he makes an improper decision - it's the manager. Thats what they're for.
You've got a pretty low user number, so I have no idea why you aren't aware of the holy BSD vs GPL wars, but the short answer is no. The BSD license does not require distribution of source code. In fact, it doesn't require (anymore) anything except the preservation of the copyright statements.
OP is correct - Cisco doesn't own the house. The people who built the house own it. They're allowed to use the house subject to terms of the agreement (ie, paying rent). Read Cisco as Linksys if you want of course - but Cisco owns them now so they've got the responsibility.

The vast majority of malpractice claims are settled, so theres no real way of pointing a finger at those doctors.

Heres a fun one for Windows people - try rightclicking on that funky "browse" or "burn CD" context button. Go ahead, see what happens.

I use WinCue for winamp which does all this (and more!). I do like the browse functionality as applied to the iTunes store, though.

There's no way to know that a DNS query is for HTTP. This is an application level, not protocol level, functionality and should remain that way.

It's a 200, which is actually correct - the redirection is happening at the DNS level and has nothing to do with HTTP.

Linux is a silly idea for commercial projects where your buisness plan relies on trade secrets being implemented in the Linux kernel, though :P
