well, its kind-of-similar to GPRS, the main difference is that GPRS can theoritically run at 115 Kbps, actual throughput varies a lot, because you are not likely (you will never get) to get all 8 time slots (because of power consumption, heat emisssion, maximizing amount of simultaneous users). So, you are likely to get anything from 1 to 4 * 13 Kbps for download and one for upload.
When others are beginning to showcase 3G and broandband wireless access, what do they do, introduce a "19.2 kbps" modem whose actual throughput is more closer to 9.6 kbps and plan to charge $40 per month for it.
Well, actually, if the connection would not be "proxy based" - it could make a lot of sense - to have a always-on (even low bandwidth) connection in your pocket which does not suck your batteries in a second. But this "proxy based concept" seems to be the fun-spoiler and aimed to make your life more difficult when you actually would like to do something fun with it. Like making it more difficult to get an IP masquared for that.
Exactly how much do believe in what your company is doing? The most effective way to market a toolset is atleast not to introduce your company as a collection of morons who do not realize anything.
when everything is lost, change the names of the whole product line, rebuild your business plan and mutter mantras like "We are firmly dedicated to providing our partners with powerful choices, both with technology and in business. The creation of TeamSCO and SCOx is a tangible example of that commitment". Also, as last hope, announce availibility of some alpha/beta software.
It has been long since I have seen as confusing messaging, this seems almost like a joke.
It does not make any sense at all.
>I don't understand... is it morally better to waste your shareholders money just waiting and seeing the cash burn, or realize your business model was a failure, and spend money elsewhere?
well, I think it's time to conclude this discussion with a comprehensive last statement: dunno.:)
Yeah, it was a not a joke. If they have cash left, and no serious hopes of good ROI based on their current business concept, why not invest the money somewhere else. What is a joke, is the moral in it.
But, if you spend some time thinking on it, is it morally better to waste all your shareholders money just waiting and seeing the cash burn?
would be to change the business concept of this company and turn it into an investment company, which invests in new bubbles, and cashes in time.
Absolute limit of 0.13 micron technology?

I am not quite sure, where is it - around ~5Ghz? When we reach this, is < 0.13 micron technology ready for production. According to this article for example, design of 0.10 micron technology based chips is up to three times more expensive (based on current calcs).

Ok, let's try.
I heard that the MIT BattleBots team is looking for new members. Here's an article about the TuxBot - the Linux based Battlebot. It would be nice to see Linux based bot beating a Microsoft based one to hell and back.
By the way, have you noticed the privacy statement at Battlebots. Have you noticed that they reserve the right to supply 3rd party companies with your info??
I haven't heard about any BSD based bots yet - have you?.
I would also like to whine about "the lack of jobs where you get paid to fire foam darts at colleagues".

it is very hard to reverse things. It's very understandable that VeriSign wants to release the majority of.org domains. What would this mean? New business to VeriSign as the people whose.org domain got exterminated need go and buy a new one (in most cases a more expensive one). Atleast a significant number of people would need to.
This time, to sound super redundant:)
" I still believe that even many developers, who choose to use GPL, do not know what it means, and what it means especially outside the borders of his own country."
The problem is same with many other licensing methods, probably even most of them. GPL is just so common nowadays, that I believe every developer should try to comprehend it thoroughly to not do serious mistakes or damage to for example his/her company or to a GPL developers rights.
"Security is an ongoing effort at Adobe. We are committed to strengthening the security of our products by using sophisticated, industry-standard levels of software encryption. We also continue to work with the software community, including 'White Hat' security experts.... However, no software is 100-percent secure from determined hackers."
If that Adobe e-book is protected by industry-standard level cryptography, then that industry is in deep trouble.
Why does everyone have to try to do their own "industry-standard" there would have been many valid INDUSTRY-STANDARD cryptography tools with which these problems would not have never even surfaced.
> I notice one of these, ductape.net, offers IMAP...are there any other
Yup, atleast the following ones. Anyway, if someone is looking for a free shell account for serious use, I suggest joining a Linux/Unix users group, many of these provide with (free or almost free) shell access.
> here are...

Here is is just a couple of examples of free shell providers. Services like this have existed in about every country or bigger city since internet was born.
I don't know much about electricity, but if I have have understood touch-screens work by using resistive panels. When you touch the screen you complete an electic circuit. I quess the panel then measures the current to know what was pressed.
Ok, if it works like this, can't you do this remotely as well, it should be rather easy make the conduct just before the real vote is given. Then just, voilâ and thank you!
Knowing the average voter;))) no-one will notice:)
It would be nice to see someone with more knowledge write about his:)
Thank you, this was exactly what I wanted to say, but in a clear and understandable way.
Just to sound redundant:

> The short version is, if you incorporate GPL code into your own program (creating what the license calls a derivative work), then your code must also be released under the GPL.
Yup, this is the definition everyone has in their heads. Even of those people, who don't understand it's meaning - I believe you do but....
Assuming person x knows what you stated, then let's take a couple of cases:
- "program" X is a big system for processing, delivering and transcoding media (video, sound, whatever). It uses one GPL'ed codec. Does (and when) the whole system X get governed by GPL.
- operating system X is tailored for an embedded device, it utilizes the linux code base heavily. Some GPLed code needs to be tailored to make the operating system X work in that embedded device. How should the project be done, to avoid the need to reveal code that might reveal "business secrets" about the embedded device X hardware.
Thanks for the replies, but none of these quite answer the question in my opinion. "How to explain the meaning of GPL in short" - what does it mean to a company for example, who wishes to sell a software product commercially: in projects x,y and z which utilize GPL'ed programs or sources in different, in which of the cases does their project-results get governed by GPL. You cannot explain what GPL by saying GPL is GPL and you must obey it.
The question is, can we explain the GPL FAQ in a short, clear and understandable way. In other words (or ironically) the problem is that we need the huge FAQ which just confuses people. Imagine showing that FAQ to your boss, who doesn't know anything about GPL before. After he/she has read it, and got confused, how do you summarize it so that he can use the information in his business.

take a format, take an asymmetric mirror, and reverse the original format to create an incompatible new format. Repeat 42 times.
