Information week has an article from Nov. 3, 2003 noting that 38% of Gartner's shares are owned by Microsoft, Oracle, Dell and a few other major players. All of whom would presumably benefit from what Gartner has to "report" about their respective fields of interest.
Considering that Gartner has been charged with bias from some circles already, this can't help things.
OTOH, if you could find a way to make an acousticly pleaing soundwave render an image, you'd have yourself a new art form, and could do all sorts of things with it.
This has been done, probably most famously by Aphex Twin. Quite interesting really.
This reminds me of a "new" Twighlight Zone episode circa 1987, where a guy has a fallout shelter in his basement.
His wife and kid go to the grandmothers for the weekend. Meanwhile, he's chilling with his friend drinking a beer, and a nuclear bomb touches down. They both go into the fallout shelter. They guy thinks he's lost his wife and kid forever.
Months go by in the fallout shelter, and external radiation levels aren't going down. They can't tell if the detector is broken, or what. Eventually some "scavengers" come pounding on the door, and the father has to stop his friend from making any noise.
More months go by, there's an argument and the friend finally says fuck it and leaves. Now the father is by himself, and even more months go by... finally he decides it's hopeless, puts on his sunglasses and heads out of the fallout shelter.
Next scene, the wife and son are looking at the father's grave. Talking about him, etc. Then the camera pans up, and there's the city about 10 miles away with a huge glass dome over it.
I found this summary of the episode as well:
Shelter Skelter
Teleplay by : Ron Cobb & Robin Love
Based on a story by : Ron Cobb
Directed by : Martha Coolidge
Starring : Joe Mantegna; Joan Allen
Summary : A survivalist believes he has lived through a nuclear war in his shelter. In reality, it was an accident which destroyed his town and contributed to bringing peace to Earth, and he has been entombed for ever.
Yep, that's why I bought mine. It was a $10 impulse buy at walgreens. The cats go nuts trying to catch it. I hadn't even seen any advertising for it, other than the $50 one at Thinkgeek. Saying that spam fueled the sales is rather speculative.
If you want a really good snort UI, go with PureSecure. You can get it over at http://demarc.com/
Check the screenshots, and you'll see what I mean.
It's not open source, but it is free for personal use and by far the best Ui for snort. We use it here at work. It also does some tripwire and Big brother type stuff.
Pitfall! was defiantely a classic, howver I think it was Pitfall II for the atari 2600 that was truely groundbreaking and possibly the best game ever made for that system. It definately foreshadowed the side scrolling adventure games of the NES and Sega master system. If I'm not mistaken, it actually had a slightly different chipset than the standard 2600 game. Definately worth checking out on an emulator if you didn't catch it the first time around.
Yeah, I've been using PureSecure at home and at work for quite a while. The screenshots are what really peaked my interest, and being able to actually test it before buying it sold my manager on it. I've worked with a lot of IDS systems/front ends, and their's is by far the nicest. When I tried the older one it was kinda a chore to install, but the newest one has a badass installer that made things a snap. Not exactly Artificial Intelligence tho.
Please don't make such outlandish claims without at least a little bit of proof.
From 'theonlineinvestor.com': "Starbucks' management obviously understands what investors want, but in many ways they are also willing to buck conventional thinking. An example is the company's clustering strategy which doesn't pander to the comp-store metric. While most store chains typically worry about market saturation and cannibalization of sales by opening too many stores in close proximity, Starbucks has actually found success by clustering new stores near existing ones."
Excerpt from the book 'No Logo': "The best example of this is Starbucks, who use a technique we can see happening right here, right now in Cambridge. They operate by clustering; in other words they saturate an area with Starbucks branches, which they can afford to run at a loss because of their multinational financial might. Because a town becomes so overloaded with coffee shops, this has the result that local cafes are forced to shut down. However, the Starbucks branches are able to stay open and remain as the only coffee shops in the town, thus leaving customers with no choice. This seems to conflict with the companies brand image of community and being a comforting third place but this cut-throat strategy directly accounts for the chains massive expansion since the early nineties, no matter how strenuously the company tries to deny it."
Just do a search for "starbucks clustering" on google. It's not a secret, it's a fact.
Their whole business model is based on running out the competition and clustering their stores.
Generally they buy out old coffee houses, or promise the landlord of these existing cafes higher rent. Get an entire area filled with starbucks, then once the area is associated with coffee, they start closing up their shops, until they only need one in the area.
So it's only logical that they would take the same approach with WiFi.
If you're checking out snort for the first time, I highly recommend using Demarc PureSecure which is free as in beer (aka for personal use). It's by far the best front end for snort, and does host based checks as well.
The "included spyware" is just the part of the install where it asks you if you would also like to install Gator. Most people who know what Gator is, just say "no" and don't install it.
Actually, there have only been a few dozen "trial" e-books and Dmitry didn't hurt their sales. At all. That is, they didn't sell. At all.
Right, but he did sell his software which cracked the ebooks. That's where he really got into trouble. It's not like he was giving away free ebook cracking software and they decided to come after him, even though reg codes and key generators exist for nearly everything. No, he was directly trying to make some money from cracking their protection scheme and that's a huge part of where his trouble began. If you're going to warez stuff, at least have some morals.
I think a large part of the reason it wasn't allowed for appeal was the great number of protests and courtroom hijinx 2600 brought with them. Its like being the class clown, teachers aren't going to give many favors and would rather send you to the principals office than deal with you directly.

All they have to do is walk across the damn borders (north or south).
Nope, apparently they're going to start doing this at the borders as well.

What does PHP stand for?
That's a recent re-invention... it originally stood for Personal Home Page.
For Opera to get it's "Fastest browser on earth" title, it caches EVERYTHING. Even things that aren't supposed to be cached like SSL pages.
alpha, beta, and now gamma... when's the stable release finally going to be out?
BTW, how did the wife and kids survive before the shell was built? Maybe they were waaaay out of town at the time?
Yeah, they were at the grandmothers house, very far away from the city.

pentium iii=mitsubishi?
For those who don't get it... mitsubishi means three diamonds in japanese.
Really? I thought it was Gore... oh well.

George Reeves played the original superman on TV.
Christopher Reeves played him in the movies from the late 70's early 80's.
So logically they want Keanu Reeves now..

What's wrong with FreeBSD's SMP support?
They probably meant to say OpenBSD, which to my knowledge still doesn't offer SMP support.
Personally, I think FreeBSD is thing to run on a server. Leave Linux at home.

The screenshots are mouthwatering.
Well the actual "press release" information about the trailer mentions that it was originally shown at the convention in Tulsa.

The "included spyware" is just the part of the install where it asks you if you would also like to install Gator. Most people who know what Gator is, just say "no" and don't install it.
So spyware is a bit of a misnomer.
