I've installed a few UL Oracle systems. I wanted to be 110% sure that they would run the Oracle database. They just changed 'Red Hat' to 'Oracle'.
They run fine...
SP1 was released to the public this week.
I'm tired of fixing these problems myself, so I called Microsoft to help me install SP1 after Windows Update failed to install it 4 times.
They offer free support for SP1 problems.
I made sure to have a complete system backup and spare computer before calling.
We're up to about 6 hours of chat/telephone support time now and it still doesn't install.
"Given that Seti only checks data, but doesn't try to execute it, shields us even further from the whole thing..."
Correct. Substitute SETI for fax (or television) and you can see how ridiculous this is. The data is analysed for patterns, just as a fax machine converts the dots into an image. Are aliens sending faxes or TV shows? Is there a chance of getting a virus from a fax? No.
What about idling engines? I still see trucks running at rest stops, even though their driver is inside having lunch or getting coffee. It's clear that many drivers (and owners) don't really care about saving money OR the environment...
Running out of 12 digit numbers is incorrect.
The move to 14 digits is to harmonize both the 12 digit UPC and the 13 digit EAN systems.
No additional UPC will be added. In fact, all 14 digit UPCs will be the same as before, with the addition of 2 leading 0s. For non-consumer applications, the leading digit is used as a 'Packaging Identifier', and will probably never be seen by most people.
The UPC allocation process, on the other hand will be changed. In the past, a unique 6 digit number was given to each manufacturer. This left 5 digits for the products and 1 digit for the checksum.
The new process will allocate cheaper, longer manufacturer numbers (7 or 8 digits), for companies that have less than 99,999 products.
You forgot the lawyers (assuming you include them in 'anyone').
