You assume the "only solution is a unique IP for every device." We don't know what technologies will come to work around such a problem. IPv6 was a great idea but the problem doesn't exist yet. We've got NAT to put it off further. I don't buy into the "wait till VoIP comes and we need it" because VoIP has been coming since '95. My point is that IPv6 will get adopted when it gets adopted. We don't need histeria to be the guide or we will wind up making rash choices only to find out that the solution may be more costly than the problem.
I use SA and like it. I only get about 75% reduction because SA-Learn doesn't seem to work very well. I've been told it takes a lot of mail to get it to learn. Though I would think, "If you see this again kill it" wouldn't take but once. hehe
Well, consider the fact that a man can gain the memory skills to win at Blackjack and be asked to leave a casino and therein lies a problem. I could understand the computer being an issue, though. I mean poker is born out of mathematical probability. Computers can handle that easily.
Oddly enough, a study was done some years ago about this very idea. A group of scientists and a group of evangelists/religious teachers were given a set of exersizes to measure bais, presupposition, that sort of thing. The group of scientists were almost twice as more likely to try to apply a solution that they had already determined as faulty because it didn't comply with their preconceptions as did the clergy. Conversely, the clergy were more likely to drop a possible solution when the evidence directed them elsewhere. I wish I had a link to this study because it was very interesting.
It underscores that while science, in and of itself, shouldn't be influenced by religious or any other preconceptions, the scienTISTS usually are. It's no doubt a struggle for them just as it is for the rest of us. ie. they're human, dispite their best efforts. I've always said that "science" in the general sense that it's cultured as today is a system of faith. "Faith" isn't simply believing. It's a confidence in evidence. It doesn't matter if it's religious faith, or scientific faith.
VoIP is hyped to death. Literally. It's hard to peddle something that someone already has, phone service. I remember NetWorld Interop in like 94 or 95. VoIP was going to be so big, I wouldn't be able to take crap without VoIP processing it somehow. 10 years later, it's in almost exactly the same state it was in then.
I've hated that one for years. "We're a solutions provider." Really? Well your "solution" has "provided" me with more downtime then uptime, dork! No body makes anything...they're "solutions providers." I say anytime you're at a convention and someone tells you they provide "solutions" it should be code for "pop me in the mouth." Hell, let's make it a game!
I wonder if they're willing to do the same for doctors. Nurses do a lot for far less pay. In fact, they often do what you would expect the doctor to do. Doctor's are like lawyers, everyone suckes except mine.
I like how scientists are called "impartial" in this report. Bush is slammed for not signing the Kyoto Protocol, something many consider junk. Yet, it is typical for a group of scientists to consider their position as "the" position. Global Warming is a theory, and not a unanimous one. Yet, we would hold someone's feet to the fire on it? Puhleez.
Dateline: 2025
Scientists in 2004 opted to abandon sending radio signals into space to attract alien life. Instead, they sent samples of human DNA to distant asteroids and on spacecraft sent into the universe in hopes that someone or something out there would find it and learn more about our life. They did. They took the DNA, altered it (though this reporter is confident they would say "improved" it), and sent it back. This explains the horrific devestation around the globe by the 400' mammoth humanoid monster that is currently plaguing our planet. So remember, each city laid waste by our extra-terrestrial cousin is twisted thank you to the scientists of 2004! Way to go, Guys!
Hey, it could happen!?
1) Run Linux
2) WiFi that works
3) Recorder that works
4) View JPG's and MPG's (motion)
5) External media slot (prefer CF but any will do)
6) Decent battery life
7) Sync with Linux desktop
8) Affordable and available!
Many may say your's already does this. I've installed OpenZaurus, Familiar w/Opie and others and they all seem to fail on at least 1-2 points.

There's an awful lot of wasted space on the front. I mean, it really looks like an industrial appliance or something. Guess that's why it's a prototype. Of course, the shipping version will be priced out of the market and only sold east of India so should we even be concerned?
Yeah! Because that market share has really taken off! Okay, so the ever-shrinking modem-using public will finally access co-lo applications much faster.
Access, to put it simply, is just not designed for network use. I remember the old days when we had a group who used an Access DB for their group. It was a simple db sitting on a Netware share. Things were fine as long as they were all on the same local network. Unfortunately, some off-site folk also needed access to it eventually. This nearly killed their fileserver. There's a reason M$ wrote MS-SQL. Scale.
EXACTLY! I'm really think such contracts should be outlawed. I haven't figured it all out yet, but from my gut I see that as the crux of their power. If M$ didn't have these OEM contracts, the playing field would become much more level almost overnight.
Yeah, I don't like the "deserve" part of that statement. I'd like to see them lose power, for sure, but in proper way. I'd like to see them truly punished for misdeeds and measures put in place that truly limit their power. This is what you would do to any other entity that breaks the law and it should be done here.
Why I must admit that some of these are pretty benign, let's not forget the ALA's stand on porn in the library. Something we could call, "Take Your Child to View Porn Day."
I remember 10 years ago going to InterOp and you couldn't sling a dead cat without hitting a VoIP display. Here we are now and how many companies/people/entities do I know of that use it? 0! Oh there are articles, examples in articles, hype etc. but I know of no major corporation running their phone systems either in part or exclusively on it. Somebody post a list so I can be as impressed as so many seem to be.
Isolating one's self from the U.N. doesn't equal isolating one's self from the world. The U.N. is a joke. Anyone who would put Libya at the head of their Human Rights wing is a moron. Hey, I don't like M$ either, but maybe they just realized the U.N. sucks. Okay, okay, I'm sure they have monitary motive.
a) Are you implying that gun manufacturers proliferated guns into poor sections of cities? Links please. And something credible, like say with actual press credentials. Nothing from some PAC group or socialists rags.
b) Perhaps they were targeting (pardon the pun) business owners who were tired of being robbed.
Let's see they either:
a) Don't want to market these just yet seriously
b) Don't want to fight the MPAA/RIAA which will somehow find a way to be pissed about this
c) Don't want to fight M$ who NO DOUBT will be pissed about this
d) Just like watching the rest of the world wonder where they can get their hand on one. (See posts regarding all the "great" Linux PDA's that no one west of India or east of the Pacific can buy)....Lemme guess, they're $3000 too, right?
What's your point? That doesn't begin to justify the lawqsuits that came out. Since the 70's the Surgeon General Warning's have been on the pack. Only in the early 90's did these suits come about. Oh yeah, anyone know if any individuals got a penny? Very few. Most of the money went to states. It was simply redistribution. If you want to go after them for lying then do so, but to justify extortion this way is a joke.
As for guns, if you don't realize that people kill people, perhaps you need to spend some time at the bad end of a gun. Suing gun manufacturers is idiocy. Anyone who would attempt to try to justify it in the current frame of "so many people are being shot" is an extortionist. (Bill Campbell, do you hear me?)

Maybe it's because the EMT's might get shot trying to help inner-city gunshot victims!? A thought.

Yeah. Put Bluetooth on the Segway with a VoIP phone and you have a hype-mobile!

Why buy it from HP? If the price is the same, it would seem stupid.
