In response to previous
claims of Comcast intercepting packets,
the
company pledged today "to immediately stop recording the Web browsing
activities of each of its 1 million high-speed Internet subscribers."
This after the Associated Pressannounced
on Tuesday that the company "has started recording the Web browsing
activities of each of its 1 million high-speed Internet subscribers without
notifying them of the change."
You speak of 5c/stamp as if it were nothing. To a large company that sends out many mailings (bills, advertisements, paychecks, etc), that is a huge cost.
Can I stick a baseball card on it, and hear the racket? All the neighborhood geeks will be so jealous...Hey, this Mickey Mantle isn't worth anything, is it?
...caught Michael Tiemann, CTO of Red Hat, in Washington yesterday and grilled him...
Well, we really have our own little Matt Drudge here, now don't we?
It was mentioned that there is already an X11 implementation for it, and a Unix Palm emulator already has been ported. So yes, in a manner of speaking.
In other words, only advanced users will be able to use WinCE and PalmOS programs. This doesn't help them sell their product to the mainstream public at all.
As if the type of message we send is relevent...If 'they' are advanced enough to recieve and translate a message of ours, making it with less noise, this language or that language, is for naught. Either someone/thing gets the message, or they do not. There is no in between.
This is true...but if the coder is going after publicity (as I think many are), he is sure to get more from Windows virii as the public is more familier with their home PCs than with Linux servers.

This brings up an interesting point: Does, and will, Darwinism extend into the Robotics field as so many of us fear?
A suitable CE device would be the sturdy and tough Clio. Check out a reivew of it here.
This is like MacWorld, but free entry?
Just what we need, more bad ads. How much will they charge for this one at the Superbowl?

It's not the fact that they are giving away Demos, it's the place that the demos are being placed. A tie-in with a US Government agency is new.
First Fedex, now Microsoft?
I'm not surprised, since systems such as this are already widely used for detecting plagiarized essays.
Here's Google's mirror, since it looks like this site was /.'ed.

How does this get through the lameness filters, anyway?

This looks a lot like a Casio PDA... On another note, will this PDA support WinCE applications? Palm OS? If not, I see this going nowhere...

Well, they say that some 75% of the internet's bandwidth revolves around heavenly bodies.

One would think that Linux is so "non-mainstream" that it would keep the virus trolls away...
It seems that the site is /.ed, with the following message: Couldn't retrieve data. Please try again later.
So, we're both cheated. Join the club.
