Well yes, that's just the point. Without retaining the papers their database of papers would be empty. What good would FDDB be if they automatically purged every entry?
They can detect patterns, index certain phrases or whatever, but not keep the entire document in its original form.
when they report on something that is still ongoing and even they even state "Both spoke on the condition of anonymity because the negotiations are continuing." To SAUL HANSELL: Maybe you should have the decency to not report on something when negotiations are still ongoing and afterwards report on it all you want because then you can even name your sources. I don't give creedence to reporters who don't divulge their sources, especially when they report on a story and divulge information that isn't supposed to be divulged yet. It's like when a woman says no before being raped and the guy thinks that means do it anyway.
The same can be said for AGP graphics cards. I still have use for my ATI All in Wonder but when I upgrade I'm going to be forced to buy a PCIe video card which to me is something I shouldn't have to upgrade. At least if I went the route of an AM2-based CPU I had a motherboard or 2 that still had an AGP slot on it I could utilize. By the way, the Intel chipsets don't have the PATA built into them. Companies like Gigabyte add an extra chip onto the board to support the PATA so w/o that you wouldn't have PATA at all.
So they go into the global multimedia market? Fair enough I guess, as long as they play by the rules of the market. Just like illegal aliens wanting into the United States. They want a job and all the benefits of becoming a citizen but not play by the rules of being a citizen which includes having taxes taken out of their paycheck to pay for public services. If the illegal aliens want to be a part of the US they have to play by the rules of the US; same with the farmers who had to get out of the global food market.
My biggest concern is reliability. How many people are running SANS with redundant Fiber optic connections. Why? because the lasers fail. Could you imagine if you had a motherboard built with multiple lasers for on board communication. Yeah it would be fast, right up until the time one of those lasers failed.
And how many people run redundant core network switches/routers that run copper connections? Why? Because electronics fail. There are even electrons in the SAN switches and those fail too. Failures aren't specific to fiber optics (read: lasers). Enterprise and mission-critical networks will use redundant SAN fabrics as well as redundant core network components because they can't afford a failure, whether the failures come once a month or once every 5 years. I'm sure you won't see this technology on a motherboard until it *is* reliable to the point where you don't see a failure once a minute or whatever the case may be. The same way routers/switches weren't mass-produced until their electronic circuits were hashed out and working reliablly.
And for those who belong to the religion of political correctness, "Christmas" is now "holiday". How is that *not* supposed to mean any other holiday? Ask the idiots who think it's more important to offend those who celebrate it than to make it sound right.
So nothing stops the studios from recording in the same resolution as they do now (or do new formats prevent downscaling?) and just filling up the space that the new formats provide with extra footage or whatever(more than they already do in some cases). Maybe some of the available/extra storage could be used for better audio as long as the audio is actually in sync with the women moaning.
Comparing holiday season sales to summer sales is like comparing apples to oranges...
Not sure what you mean by holiday season sales since there are other holidays throughout the year when retail items can be purchased so your comparison could almost mean comparing summer sales to summer sales. Example: I know that Easter (in the spring) is a time when some people purchase items for their kids' Easter baskets. At the least call the sales you refer to by the proper name of "Christmas sales", not "holiday season sales" because "holiday season sales" denotes nothing but ambiguity. Retailers make more on Christmas gift sales than they do on Hanukkah or Qwanza so even saying "holiday season sales" doesn't give credit where credit is due. Of course, telling that to retailers who care more about pleasing people who don't even celebrate Christmas by referring to it as "holiday" is just wasting breath.
Depending on what the item is that isn't necessarily a bad thing because the retail tax added on might still be more than the shipping that would be incurred when buying online to the point where retail price+tax ends up still being higher than bid price+shipping in which case the ebay user ends up spending less of course. Usually this only works for high priced items where the in-store tax would be high.
Anyone but the music/movie companies just thinks that whatever they do won't be enough for MS to notice them and so they just keep on using MS software just so they can get their work done, hopefully before another app crashes or another virus/worm finds them.

1. Solar radiation output is increasing as helium 'ash' accumulates at the sun's core; The change amounts to 33% in 4.6 billion years.
See response to #2 below.
2. Sunspots are dark areas which radiate less energy, not more.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspot :
The number of sunspots has been found to correlate with the intensity of solar radiation over the period - since 1979 - when satellite measurements of radiation are available. Since sunspots are dark it is natural to assume that more sunspots means less solar radiation (e.g. [3]). However, the surrounding areas are brighter and the overall effect is that more sunspots means a brighter sun. The variation is small (of the order of 0.1%) and was only established once satellite measurements of solar variation became available in the 1980s. You may also want to look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maunder_Minimum and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age.
3. Earth's orbital eccentricity is currently.016, a nearly perfect circle.
Despite being a near perfect circle, the earth does get closer to the Sun by about 5 million km during the northern hemisphere's winter season, compared to the summer season. This causes fluctuations in the global temperature, along with the 23.5 degree axis tilt (which causes the actual seasons).
4. Momentum of orbiting bodies is conserved therefore there is no such thing as gravitational friction.
I can't find anything on earth's revolution deteriorating, only the rotational speed.
not being taken into account. Solar radiation from the Sun has increased and continues to increase due to sunspots. This can affect us more than CO2 gases. This simple fact can be realized due to the amount the temperature flutuates between the winter and summer solstices. Even a slight increase in the sun or the distance of sun from the earth can increase the temperature of the earth. Oh and by the way, earth is slowly falling into the sun because of the earth losing its velocity due to gravitational friction. That might continue to raise the tempature too don't you think?
It is not worth my time or money to go through the hassle of making a Release Candidate my primary OS (which is what is truly needed to shake the bugs out).
No one is recommending that you make the RC your primary OS. However if no major bugs are found the RC will end up being the final version so essentially you would be able to make your primary OS the RC by extension. If bugs are found then you install the final version instead, which is why the RC comes out first. Linux kernel developers don't expect people to use rc kernel versions on production equipment; they would even say to not do so because they are not final kernel versions.
Just so people are aware, all companies who make a directory server change little things here and there and so they all fall outside the standards in one way or another. Despite the public being used to MS doing that, at least in the LDAP world, it is fairly common and thus no surprise that MS did it for AD. They actually don't use standard kerberos tickets but their own flavor of them however standard tickets can be turned on by setting a registry setting (which is required if you have a Java app that you want to authenticate to ADS by using the kerberos ticket). The standard schema (not scheme) is very minimal and MS had to add a lot of things to it in order to support the functionality that MS provides (such as using SIDs for ACLs instead of just usernames). Exchange Server 2003 adds around 1000 new object classes on its own which extends the schema once again but the LDAP schema is meant to be extended so this isn't so bad.
By the way, one company you missed in your list is Oracle. They have their own implementation of LDAP called Oracle Internet Directory which is used by their Collaboration Suite and many other applications. They also provide a sync feature that can synchronize OID to ADS in both directions (although I could get the sync'ing working I couldn't ever get an ADS user to authenticate to OID).
One thing people should realize and that I should emphasize is that MS did not change the standard schema, they added to it. There is no SID in the standard LDAP schema. And you can't fault MS for adding it by saying it is useless for anybody but MS because it already was useless(no one else uses the SID anyway) so why would it matter,from an outside perspective, whether they added it or not? By that logic, the fact that the attribute "jpegPhoto" is in the standard schema must mean it is proprietary because it is useless for anyone other than whose who doesn't want to store employee photos in their directory.
I believe if any one LDAP implementation is closest to the standard it is OpenLDAP.
if it wasn't separated into 25 different PDF files or did I miss the link to download the whole thing as 1 file? I'm too lazy to see if Acrobat can combine PDFs but if it can then that would help the annoyance factor.
certain people prefer to communicate by email even when the recipient is sitting right next to them
I do this at work a lot with the project manager who sits right next to me because the emails provide an easy paper trail. Those trails can be important on a gov't contract that entails multiple projects over multiple years.
If you mean the non-mobile Core 2 Duos then you can already purchase them on newegg.com. They were in short supply initially and only in the last week or so have they been able to keep the Core 2 Duos in stock, however they still seem to have trouble with the Core 2 Extreme model. As for the mobile Core 2 Duo, I still don't see that listed on their list (but I haven't checked today).

To answer your question: It's in the blackhole they call your ass.
That depends on what the definition of the word "is" is.
cleveland steamer anyone? (Note: I'm not the one offering.)
Bet they'll be backordered for the holidays!
Uh, what holiday(s) are you referring to? There are multiple holidays every month of the year.
They will settle so you will all get a coupon for $5 off your new purchase of Vista. Ain't the legal system (of any country) grand?
