I have a friend who spends about half the year overseas and and he was stuck with AT&T for this very reason. At the same time, he recently switched because Verizon is WAAAAY more competitive with their global market than AT&T (if you have a CDMA phone with GSM)
We are exactly where we would have been otherwise. The web became a view-port in which we arrange the content, but not ultimately how we see it. At the time, the Internet at large was begging to come out, and had things gone different, maybe we would have been viewing the content in a manner which ultimately didn't rely on how "perty" it looks, but rather what it does. Mr. Lee had a fantastic idea, but it was the short term goal that built the end-system. IMHO the web is broken, but the result, is now the reason
It's really not that bad. We have all our Oracle tablespaces and such stuck on a raid server that is being exported via NFS. The speed is only marginally slower than the 1 gigabyte SAN we were on previously. Our biggest issue came down to needing to use the -o nolock option on the nfs mount. Speedwise it helps that we are running it all via a 1000 base T private net.
There are only so many ways you can fly around in a starship going back and forward in time and mating with green aliens. Technology is no where near as fun as magic and elf chicks
Have you ever tried to have more than one ssh session open while constantly reloading a page on a far away server on dialup (ignore the fact at my house the best we got for a connection due to the phone lines was 26400? That is enough to justify the cost of broadband right there for me
I drive a '99 grand am, and I still have to deal with my car's OS costing 85(USD) to get reflashed, and 2500(USD) to get the actual computer replaced. The last thing I need is Micro$oft's licensing fee's to deal with an upgrade consisting of WinME to XP just because they couldn't do it right the first time. Yeah, I understand upgrades are necessary, but for christ's sake, my car runs fine with WinME, I don't need Win XP just to get the "upgraded" features.. I guarentee that they didn't plan on my car having 802.11b, so why should they care if my car runs a copy of IIS that is vunerable to Nimda or not. Sure, that my car is exposed to the "Internet" a grand total of 7 minutes a day, but I guerantee that in that time my firewall isn't going to fail or to be compromised
Java is the ONLY way to do efficient stored procedures in Oracle. PLSQL is nice for strict data chunking but anytime you need to do something useful like opening up a socket, Java is the way to go
thought about the consequences of running wireless, ie 2.4 gigahertz, in a hospital situation? There is a reason there are a lot of places in hospitals they have you turn off your cell phones and pagers. If not, they would have thought about it the first time someone with a pace maker coded
I have a fairly heterogenous network too, windows, linux (both PPC and x86) and OSX... I generally use VNC to access them remotely and scp to copy files back and forth between them
Who cares if these CD's are copyprotected(other than the fact it's a very slippery slope)... Does it make them more desirable to the consumer with the whole "You told me I can't do it so I'm going to" attitude... I can't think of anyone that would actually want to steal that music, other than to mock and laugh at it
Where I work I have my IBook and a Tibook... We have a Linksys Wap 11, hacked which is used for an occasional HP or Sony notebook with addon cards, and basically all time access for our Mac's... The signal strength between the Tibook and Ibook is more than negligible.. This is measure in Yellow Dog linux using the WaveMon program on freshmeat Generally speaking, on a scale of from the restraunt next door(a four or five on the WaveMon program on the ibook, which translates to a 0 on the Tibook> to within 2 feet of the wireless access point the difference between the ibook and the tibook is always at least 10 points, with the tibook on the low end.... If this isn't empirical evidence I don't know what is...

Ha. The phone system in my community of 300,000 people went down for 4 days a few months back. Guess who provided all emergency communications...

It has a cache of the Nuke database down page
Who needs a big elaborate system when I can carry a beach towl in my bag :)

The sizes may be different, but I think the mentalities of the RIAA and the 12 year old girl are probably pretty close

We are busy updating the store for you and will be back within the hour.
Oh, like you need to explain to the /. crew what mozilla is
Why does XFree86 run default as root. Wouldn't it be more prudent to run it as a user account sudo'ing everything as necessary much as OSX does?

I do find this funny though: lame-3.92/doc/html/history.html: (Thanks to Albert Faber, NeoAudio author) Albert Faber is the NeoAudio author ?! :)
There are a least 340 lines with the original authors' name in the comment, so I'm not sure how bad if at all this is(if nothing else, bad business)

So then how many centimeters cubed are in a metric minute?

With someone like Oracle heavily backing Java, it certainly is a heavy hitter!
Now we all can get our daily shot of radiation! Something tells me it'll be a bit harder to wrap tin foil around the antenna of this phone though.
