Why exactly do they need to do this every night?? Surely it would be infinetly simpler to just rsync against the server with the CPAN modules and then only rebuild RPMS for new/modified modules.
Hmm let us see: Japan in July 2003 upped beef tarrifs to 50% America pushed up Steel tarrifs recently, has massive subsidys for farmers. Europe well their farm subsidys are ridiculous with some places in Ireland been better off not growing their crops with the subsidys offered.
So yeah obviously bad China, the only country in the world to use tariffs. BAD BAD BAD play fair no tariffs just like all those other countries in the world, oh wait there isnt any!!
As for banning people from certain countries, every country does that it is called a VISA and what happens is you simply do not let people in from the country you do not like.
Not to sound like personal privacy nut or anything, however one of the great benefits gained through the voting booth method is that you get complete privacy when you vote. You walk in go into an area where you have complete privacy and vote however you want to.
Allowing internet based votes means voting is no longer gurarnteed to be a completly private affair which is a huge issue. If I was an American and a complete moron and wanted to vote for Bush in the next election then I should be able to without the possibility of people around me been able to walk in and see as I vote on the computer.
How much of the documentation will then be released to the public? Realistacly I would expect SCO to do everything they can to keep as much of the court case closed as possible simply based on the argument that they need to protect their IP. This looks like SCO is going to play the FUD game for another week and then play behind closed doors when they have to give out any details.
Damn it I want details and I know that unless IBM completly and utterly smacks them into the ground in court most of the doucments will never be released and those of us who don't sign NDA's (note even if I did I wouldn't understand it) will never know how true what SCO is claiming really is..
Seems pretty easy, all you have to do is find some company with a rapidly declining market share and large ip base.
Then find some other big company that you have once done business with and sue them. Damn I wish I was a lawyer on this case, sitting back knowing I am earning a fat pay check while spewing as much crap as humanely possible to keep everything going.
But really now, does this make it any clearer wether SCO has a vaguely legitimate case on UNIX code been in the Linux Kernel?? I want to see that proved before I even try and understand why IBM is responsible for it..
At work we have been playing the "No you can't use yahoo messenger for internal communications" game for a fair while now, with people continuing to try despite the explanations that putting potentialy sensitive information over a system we have no control over is totally unacceptable in any security model.
Has anyone here succesfully rolled out Jabber in a corporate environment, how succesfull was it and how well did the users react to it?
Can Jabber authentication be tied into standard linux/unix account authorization systems so that it becomes possible to tell users they have an account and to access they use there standard user login and password. I assume it is relatively easy to stop the jabberd from connecting to other jabber networks as this would be a must.
Is there a system setup for connecting all the local, public jabber servers together to create a world network. Ie if I had the resources and wanted to could I create a server that allows people to connect to me and also talk to a host of international people as well?
As nice as it is been able to talk to people in my country only (Australia) is it as simple as ICQ in talking to people all over the globe?
I know not everyone would want to join such a system however this is what is required to really become popular with the *average* user, ie not anyone reading slashdot.
So the concept here is that if I try and passively read the photons during transport I will destroy them making it obvious too the other end that I have been listening.
However would it not be possible to simply insert a system between the two hosts (A & B) that are trying to transmit and then have your device pretend to be system B to system A and pretend to be system A to system B. This should ensure that it is possible to get all of the data transmitted. A tad more complicated than doing it passively but you would still end up with a very hard to detect eavs dropping system.
Is there any really good reason this wouldnt work, excluding detection during installation when the fiber goes dead for a minute.
Every single tag is a diff number?
on
Walmart to Push RFID
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
From everything I have read either every tag is a different number or it will be impossible to accurately track people ever.
If so how big is the number that an RFID tag stores?
If it is unique per tag then no matter what it will run out bloody quickly, an astronomical number of products are sold every year. If the tag is not unique, ie it is the same as the barcode system and all products of the same type have the same ID then it is impossible to track people!!!
Also would it not be trivially easy to create a fake RFID generator so you could overload the senor equipment and make it useless??
Assuming at some point in the future voice calls will be via "packets" from end to end, instead of just from the exchange to exchange, what kind/amount of bandwidth would/does reliable conversatinons require.
Anyone using this type of service already, how good is the quality on it? Also how does the phone connect to the providers server?
Looks very promising and should hopefully lead to at least a freeze in the cost of phone calls, and hopefully a steady decrease.
Damn it now I really want to be able to post and moderate..
Very funny.
I refuse to use info, I wont read anything in there as I have never seen a single info page which wasn't either a direct copy of the man pages or a load of freaking gibberish.
For all the good information this tutorial has in it, I am still reading it, the greatest part would have to be the incredibly clear and nicely laid out set of instructions on how to use Grub with different operating systems. Normally I find this information scattered across half a dozen different pages.
Anyone who actually reads it and finds it useful look hard as there is a pdf link for the entire document, as it is only 72k its a lot easier than waiting for IBM's servers to load each page. A nice touch from IBM I think. Makes life over a slow connection a little easier.
It is nice to see that we are still going out into space and even more importantly undertaking useful missions, instead of just sticking a couple of Astronauts into space because we can.
A PDA and camera are two of my pet hates for new mobile features. The picture quality of the phone *cameras* from the real life examples I have seen, not just the doctored photos that Nokia, and others stick into their adds make it look like such a horrid waste of money. I would like to see a simple/standard way of connecting digital cameras to mobiles as that would, at least allow for some kind of half decent image quality.
As for using a phone as a PDA, that is the silliest idea i have ever seen. A PDA is meant to have a nice and *big* screen which makes it easy to use. Meanwhile a phone is meant to be compact and easy to hold in one hand. These two things do NOT work together. A wide phone is a pain in the arse to use as you can not hold it properly. While a slim PDA is useless as you can not display enough useful information across the screen.
I want my gadgets seperate damn it! One tool, should do one job well. It should not do half a dozen really badly.
Bah, what do I want some silly little looking ferrari for. Gimme McLaren damn it!!
On a side note, how good are these infra red controls. In the past I have always found them to be a bit tricky to use at distance so I can see a lot of spectacular wipe outs as the cars lose signal.
Then again it does mean getting a very realistic F1 experience as you see your team/car going straight into a wall and then falling to pieces.
That a company thinks that this is a somehow useful feature that will get people to buy their phone, or that i know that people will buy these phones for this *useful feature* to give themseleves 30 seconds of joy before losing the little car.
The real problem I see with this is, you will always get some sadistic bastard who spools a ton of *pop* music before disapearing out of ear shot or some fool who doesnt understand how it works and sticks the same song in over and over again.
Apart form that looks very fun for a small network with shared sound.
Laws like this in a way can be very useful. If the gov/law enforcement agency of your choice discovers a new "kiddie porn" site then they can immediatly have its access shutdown. Removing a site especially one that is not located in America must take time and cutting off access for the 2-3 weeks that it takes to have the site taken down is fair.
However when a site has already been removed from the internet then its details should be made public. This would allow some review of what the government is doing. However if the site cannot be removed as it only breaks American Laws then there is not justifiable reason for keeping the blocking information secret.

Why exactly do they need to do this every night??
Surely it would be infinetly simpler to just rsync against the server with the CPAN modules and then only rebuild RPMS for new/modified modules.
You could even use perl to do this...
Hmm let us see:
Japan in July 2003 upped beef tarrifs to 50%
America pushed up Steel tarrifs recently, has massive subsidys for farmers.
Europe well their farm subsidys are ridiculous with some places in Ireland been better off not growing their crops with the subsidys offered.
So yeah obviously bad China, the only country in the world to use tariffs. BAD BAD BAD play fair no tariffs just like all those other countries in the world, oh wait there isnt any!!

Well mainly because although you could make a patch and release it you couldn't call it Linux 2.6
Linus holds the trademark on Linux, you could call it myKernel 2.6 but that would not make it Linux 2.6
Hmm, yes i would mean humanly, although it would be insteresting to see how much crap can be spewn humanely all the same...

However I would much prefer my car to continue operating afterwards.
Seriously though how long till you see *Hacked with Megasquirt* stickers on all the rice mobiles going around?
No No No, some group fronted by "Cool-Bargains" owns it and for a limited time only you can buy 1 acre for US$29.95.
Or at least so they keep telling once a week

Meh, you need an IBM Login to access it, anyone want to paste the contents, I have so had enough of signing up to junk all the time.
What, you can get a phone which accepts USB in from another device all of a sudden, as I am unaware of any such device existing?
If I was to suggest something it would be some type of infra-red interface so that you dont have to carry around cables.
It is nice to see that we are still going out into space and even more importantly undertaking useful missions, instead of just sticking a couple of Astronauts into space because we can.
