I have to say that our government is NOT less corrupt than other governments.
Its just that the US got a head start and we have our way with so many countries that in typical European fashion, we don't exploit ourselves, but we exploit everyone else...
Lets realize technology can allow for satellite to braodcast local programming to Detroit without Chicago getting Detroits programming.
So lets not even bring up that issue.
And when football in detroit is blacked out, but I can still get the game by watching chicago, they wouldnt like that (sports on TV has to be the largest revenue source.) Of course this is the same RIAA arguement, assume your customers are all criminals...(since it would take illegal hardware to enable such an action)
Frankly, it is stupid since cable does not do it. The only difference is you can do illegal things to enable chicago channels in Detroit, with satellite you could.
Someone needs to tell this guy that wireless is not wired. Why should wireless provide what wired does? AT every stage of the internet there is a most successful transport medium. You dont see gigabit networks in local business or home networks do you? Does that mean the Gigibit networks are not successful?
Why should there be ANY security on wireless? There is no security on wired data. That is to say, 802.11 provides no less security than ethernet. Except for the fact that its more easily overheard.
Security is provided by your application, not your hardware layer. Thats how it should be. Else, once your hardware layer is cracked, ALL your data will be open.
Imagine how quick it will become unprofitable if everyone they spammed replied to the "advertised product", that they were not interested. They would quickly run out of the ability to sort between the interested and non interested emails and that crap would stop immediately.
Dont reply to the mail server the mail came from. Go to the source. Hit the person whose product it is you receive the ad for!
At the Society of Automotive Engineers show here ni detroit a few weeks ago, in the Digital CAR expo, there was at the front entrance a couch with a kik azz flat panel screen and an XBOX for your relaxing enjoyment.;)
Im at a pretty nice sized company, and they already block the email port completely. I can not use email no matter what except the corporate mail.
Most people smart enough to set up their own email in outlook express believe it or not, are quite concious of viruses.
Yes, we get them ALL the time. its amazing what people do. But lots of people don't care, they feel its better to open it at work than at home:D BTW, there are no provisions on company mail far as I know to block virused attachments.
I delete attachments.
So there is still company email, and webmail (yahoo, hotmail, etc.).
Personally, I just use pine... Out web goes through the corporate proxy. I disabled that on my computer. what do I need that for?
They load all kind, ok ok ok, I'll stop here. Out IT department is the most horrible money wasting department in the company with all their "security" related crap they stuff on the computer, etc...I rolled my own install;)
This is HUGE. Many wireless ISPs already functioning with the 2.4GHz range. Plust free networks are springing up like www.seattlewireless.org and www.houstonwireless.org, there are tons. And you say its no big deal that they will have to scrap their equipment? All of them??
Protocols will not eliminate interference. 5GHz has different transmission properties than 2.4 GHz. It a different frequency. Many WISPs were already bracing for this and expect to have to move into 5GHz, but 5GHz is handled just the same as 2.4 so far. 802.11a is already out there at 5GHz.
If the FCC wants to do somethign they need to give a unlicensed range for specifically data communications only.
Honestly, who gives a damn about satellite radio. More people are using wireless internet that satellite radio.
There are benefits to embedded java, but its not you being able to load your random applet...
This is most likely Java ME (micro edition). However, its not there so you can run various applets. Its there for Nokia. So they can add features and benefits and have a modular platform. It doesen't hurt them to be able to say "we do Java", but to the end user I hardly see the benefit.
This is the same Junk I went through last week. I attended the SAE show(society of automotive engineers). M$, Sun, IBM, were all there pusing their (non automotive related) gadjets into cars, and since its within the confines of the car, they call it automotive.
We only care about stuff like memory seat modules, alarms, airbag modules, powertrain controllers, power window/mirrors/lock modules, etc...Java I had hoped would ease our programming of these modules. We can use the same code on multiple processors without having to do a damn near complete rewrite. But when they came at me with 2MB RAM requirement, and 32bit processor, I just got sick to my stomach. They are holding all these bluetooth and other libraries in the JVM that we don't even use.
So they did not make me happy. the KVM which is about 50K is more like it. But theres not much you can hype up with a 50K JVM;)
Stoopid. Urban communities are physically located in one place but they are NOT larger than the surrounding surburbs combined. And the burbs as a 'community' tend to vote togather. non issue.
The system is fine. Its worked a lot more often than not, and Everythign the government touches they take as an opportunity to corrupt.
Do you want them to call in all their industry buddies to 'consult' on how to remake it? How else do you think they would?
If it were 1 man 1 vote, then some states might as well not vote cause they aint got enough people to shake a stick at. Honestly, this way prevents less strife between the states because you never hear any one state saying, "hes president because of so-and-so State." We had 1 civil war, I dont think they wanted to allow a situation that could cause strife between the states. Sure its changed now, but it may not always be the way it is now. lets leave it be.
The lawyer was completely correct in his statement, and I do it myself.
What his lawyer said is if you take, Visual Age for Java, or Visual Cafe, Student editions, which prohibit profit off of programs made with them, and create, compile, and test some software to perfection. Then instead of compiling with those student editions for release, you simply compile with the free JDK, then you have a work which you can legally sell.
so use the student compiler during development, and switch to the free unrestricted compiler for publishing.
The statement from his lawyer had nothing to do with the GPL, so how did he make this leap??
No way pornographers want XXX. Why? They enjoy legal battles?
Why? because now religious groups would leave porn sites alone and go after Comcast and AOL, etc. And you know DAMN well comcast would comply and block.xxx from its network. So would AOL. they do NOT want to be seen as porn advocates. Porn would suffer HEAVILY. Sure they would win their court battle, but it would be LONG and protracted and the whole world would be against them.
They just dont need it. Well unless it came with guarantees that it would not get blocked.
Dont get me wrong, its stoopid, especially since comcast has porn channels anyway. But you know how hyped the net is. Come election time, they would get roasted:D
Sure, anyone can run their own nameservers, but that does not mean I will use them.
I know, you can have all sorts of corrupt nameservers, but you will have a hard time corrupting the name servers any real ISP is using as they likely only pull names from a set database.
Remember how M$ made its initial money. Remember what IBM thought initially. Let me rahash
M$: the money is in the software IBM: they money is in the hardware
This point is really outside of the monolopy issue. Free software WILL KILL M$. Free cars would Kill Ford, but Ford has safety because nobody is willing to build cars nor give physical parts for free. However, the "people" have said they are willing to develop software for free in their spare time.
The M$ model is failing because "the people" can make their own software, and linux makes it that much easier. Its elementary. Change or die.
Dont get me wrong. People will always pay for your software if its that much better than what they can get for free. But to me, that advances technology, not stiffles it.
Seems like your everyday metalic or otherwise cleat / golf shoe would do just nicely. So I propose a technological improvement, which by the way I should patent:D
Combine this with the stank smells they invented about 1 year ago.
Now not only can you not move, but you stank too. Now thats a deterrent:D
What about the company which was sued for advertisments which hinted at the ability for their kit to convert semi-automatics into automatics. They didnt even outright say it, and I believe they got slapped.
Yes, back in the early 80s I think it was illegal to or networks wouldne let you lie on TV. But they are hip now. If 1 person lies, it just spawns his opponent to pay for money to tell a bigger lie..
Just play the damn CDs and thats it. Of course no one ever wants to make their own CDs from music they have PURCHASED.
Its a huge joke which has all been stated ad-infinitum.
I dont own ANY stolen CDs computer or otherwise. I don't share my software AT ALL. The only violation I currently have is that win98 is on 2 computers while I learn Linux and am dual booting.
I made my own tapes for years. I ski with my OWN tapes. I guess when my dad and I switched tapes for a few runs, I was breaking the law. I guess I should buy the CD, my Dad should buy a copy, and my sister too, else were the criminals they want to protect the artists from.
Garbage. I simply want the newer technology to replace the old. Why should I still make tapes when I can make CDs? Of course DAT is better for skiing, but we know what they have done to DAT already...
You are correct that the bigger the company, the less it seems to pay tax, so certainly there would be more tax dollars with opensource software. (by reducing the size of the Beast)
However, try to give your car to a friend, and watch the Government demand you pay taxes on this 'free' transaction. They dont believe anything is free and they think you are just trying to get out of paying taxes. So from that standpoint, he is correct. But of course with the GPL you can always CERTIFY that it is received free of charge...
I tend to disagree with him in summary. And further its just as heinous and misleading and blatant against the consumer as some of the congressmen comparing other congressmen to Sadam Hussein.
Strange Review
on
Java RMI
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
yes, I too found little in the review preview about XML.
I have used both CORBA and RMI. I don't know why they are shown as competitive products.
CORBA is used when you wan't cross language compatibility. (c / Java / C++, etc.)
RMI is used when you want Cross platform compatibility give by JAVA.(windows, Linux, Mac)
DCOM is used when you are working on M$ Windows.(windows, C++)
To me these 3 are complimentary, with CORBA being one of the hardest but most dynamic. So naturally I expected to see in the review a statement about where the XML thingy fit into this puzzle. Why would you mention these 3 technologies without mentioning that?

How would you like it if you got new tires installed and...a few extras.
Everytime you turn on the radio, you hear an ad for tires and other crap your not interested in.(this increases over time)
Driving home but mysteriously you end up at McDonalds!?
You briefly pass by the classical station on your radio and you receive a flurry of snail mail from the Boston Pops.
You drop 5 miles to the gallon.
You start receiving tickets but have not seen any cops.
Would this be considered legal?
So what it has java. Whats the big deal?
;)
