I hate to burst your bubble dude. But not everyone in life is a programmer. Not everyone here is a programmer. Geek doesn't equate to programmer. Simply because you may (or may not be) a wizard programmer doesn't mean that everyone else. Next time you want a random item, say a gold ring, I hope someone tells you stop whining, fire up the furnance, and melt some gold!
Most people also wouldn't consider an entire computer a valid replacement for an alarm clock. Maybe a little over kill.
Sure they could have all traffic route to/dev/null, However, any attempt to block or hinder a union and/or the creation of a union is unlawful. If there was content that held trade secrets, as they claim, then they should have sought other means to remove the content. Two wrongs don't make a right. Expect a lawsuit from the union in a hurry.
I'd like to thank you for requesting this 23 inch LCD monitor. We have 6 months of Quality Assurance testing to ensure that it is compatible with our highly specialized Dell Computer Terminals.
What audio codec are you planning on using that requires 90kb/s of bandwidth. A digital phone line from your telco (ISDN) only uses 64k. There are many many VOIP codecs that use less than that... which is pretty much the point behind it. Random codec off the top of my head g.723. 6.4 kb/s

I'm not so sure that I would call managing your base in dune2 (starcraft, etc) multitasking. Your task is to play (win) the game. That's like saying adding 6 plus 7 is multitasking because you remember to carry the 1.
Writing an essay and playing a video game would be mutlitasking. It's two (or more) unrelated things that comprise multitasking. Otherwise, it's just a complex task.
Sorry if am splitting hairs, but I think it is an important difference.
Probably the same day when they realize that have a common look and feel and easy of use means a lot more to Joe Sixpack than being able to edit the html code on his blog.
I'm not saying no features is better, but I'm not certain how many people I'd trust with features like that. Some people can use it effectively, others... not so much. For Instances, how many the "geek" slashdotters forget to close the Italics/bold tags and type the remainder of the their message an annoyingly hard to read font?
"I'll take my basic freedoms and liberty any day over technology.
Seriously. Don't you think there's a cost to all this? Do you really think a republic like the US could do something like this?"
Um... Yeah. You'd lose your freedom if you had a button in a restaurant to let the waitstaff know that you needed something, or Outdoors Gyms so you could spend more that the 30 minutes daily you normally spend out of doors...
Liberty would be jeopardized if you had computerized seating maps, and parking lots that displayed relative information.
What are you talking about?
Where I'm at, it seems that the local cable monolopy -- Cogeco -- is actually trying to do compete.
While their standards rates are remaining high, they've introduced a "light" flavor of service. Much more restrictive. I don't have the flyer in front of me, but the deal is something like this: 128KB/S upload 128 KB/S download and a 3 gig combined transfer cap. Either 26 or 29 bucks (canadian).
That's pretty much direct competion for dialup when 2nd phones and ISP charges are brought in.
Just wondering if you've ever updated your reference file for these programs? I've had users religiously run them. But it wasn't checking for the latest and the greatest. Adaware released a new one two days ago (6/6/2004).
Another semi-useful trick is to make sure adaware is scanning your hosts file. Sometimes the nasties like hi-jacking websites directly from there.
So if the study is funded by MS it's hardly an "indepent research firm" as the writeup indicates. I like that way of thinking. I'm going to start a non-profit organization, but the donations that I receive are going straight into my pocket.
IM at work definately has it's uses. Picking up the phone and calling isn't usually worth it when you are trying to reach someone long distances (or overseas for that matter). Ever been on a conference call and have someone put the whole call on hold so he can talk to someone else? Nothing like hold music stopping the entire call while buddy talks to the other person.
Why not use Jabber? Because Sun's offering is designed for IMs to people with in the company. It's secure, It's not over the internet, and it intergrates with other Sun products.
Well, With out knowing exactly what type of phone it is, I would assume it is h323 compatible. So you should be able to dial (by IP) anyone who has a H323 compliant device (ie netmeeting). You need to run a VoIP gateway in order for traffic to be sent to the internet... or even through your lan. Free h323 software is at available at openh323.org
Breifly: I'd guess that if they would have to do some serious expansion to the India Engineering Center to accomodate all the staff they currently have and the staff they would be replacing in America. Which while costs would be lower to build there than in America would still not be cheap. They'd also have a nearly vacant building in America. Which they could close, but I don't see all the C*Os and the rest of upper management wanting to relocate to India.

I see the whole review on the front page. And a error when going into the article stating: Nothing to see here. Move Along.
I think everyone is out running around testing out this out

"Currently the game has been released to North America, Canada, South Korea, and Australia. "
Last I checked Canada was a part of North America.
No, Patenting should be Patented.

It'll reduce Bottle Rocket wars down to an aiming contest. Instead of a crap-shoot on wether or not you'll escape with your hands intact.
Yeah -- except due to high speed man/car accidents the chaulk )( symbol is replaced by a chaulk outline.

Yes, it was actually refreshing to see a mainstream news article where technology wasn't misrepresented, and actually used the correct terminology.
"illitaracy rampant" I guess so.

I think that microsoft just put out the flames on this one. It's a game system not a space heater they are trying to produce.

I use H323 as an intercom system within my house.

Ahhhha!!! Well that makes a hell of a lot more sense. I thought everyone in the novel got sucked into a singularity (a.k.a. a black hole).
Yes an explination of the term would certainly have helped.
