I've paid tax's under 2 different goverments now and given the loose terms of aiding terroism I would have to say I'd prolly qualify once a 3rd goverment gets in place.
I believe that this and other strategic moves will see IBM back in a monopoly position. Given that Microsoft have taken the heat of them for the past 10 years (ever since they sticthed them up over OS/2 and windows - Hmmmm). They hacve a rather nice CPU - there filling the holes in the application offerings and have a kick ass CPU about to finaly make its return to the desktop. by the time Microsoft finaly get to a proper court IBM will be a more obvious monopolistic target:-/
The only thing that holds ANY OS or hardware back is applications. Given how well and cheaply a cluster of linux box's can be put together its only a matter of time before people start adopting it. Also the like of MQSERIES (now part of websphere unfortunatly) are available on linux and offer a very simple way to migrate legacy CICS applications or parts of from expensive mainframes, and in a reliable assured way.
Well given the cost of bandwidth and supply outstripping demand - costs are cheap, but never cheap enough. I pay around £10 a month for hosting of a whole domain in Telehouse with respectable limits; I suspect man will make it to Mars before I hit them. Of course it's also the peerage that makes a big difference and not forgetting support. I've currently been using http://www.metahusky.net/hosting.html for over a year now and never for one minute had my train of thought derailed with support issues - sex yeah but not me hosting. Heck they have the same peerage as the bbc.co.uk, so if/. Does an article on all colo's I'm sure this would handle the load (I wonder when/. will give out awards too sites that survive without removing content or requireing registration).
Security is also an area of concern and you really can't place a cost on that - I mean, what's your business worth, as that's what's at stake. Again I'm happy given that I work in security and have still to catch them out.
At the end of the day you have to look at what you want and then find a supplier that can meet that. Also look into security, support (hours of support as well;) and also who uses them currently from the perspective on how long they have been there - whats there churn like, and do your own research on that by emailing a couple of the webmasters of the hosted domains of from google or whatever means you prefer.
Well they make there money out of the hardware that the OS runs on funnily enough. Given that IBM dont care what OS you run as long as its there hardware - why should sun.
It will be interesting too see how bank to bank communicatuions pan out. Wether they fall victuim to the dreaded offcie format as alot of compnies have or have used to block such a move themselfs.
nope, Your open to the closed source of the access point, of wich there might be expliots ranging from poor IP spoofing due to pooor incrments of even +1 of backdoors put into the software that just mean even the 22mb 256 WEP chipsets fall victim to a simple UDP packet to a certain port and they spit out all your keys and connection details. Now if you treat wireless connections like an internet connection and VPN , firewall your data across it as well then I'd say that was good enough. Mind you only good.
If he would just put aside his ego for one second he would realise what he actualy contibutes. He is a poor comedian at that. I'm still realing about his wireless claims a month ago.
Load wont be an issue seeing as the juicy bits will end up somewhere upon the bbc site and you can just cover it then as the daily BBC link. Is this the new trend in/. posting effects or will we see a return of the old yesterdays stories again syndrome, I wonder.
Why not just link to the BBC site from the home page and be done with it - they appear to be/. proof and dont insist on registration. Lets see the more obscure stories of old getting thru like somebody having a cluster farm of water cooled PC's with the flow of water then heating up enough to run have a comfortble shower at the end of it.
Ugly bugger init. Well there again so were the first generation (and second) of portable CD players. That was mainly due to the battery of the time. If only it had a pcmcia slot big enough for a micro drive and well, next years model perhaps or a built in HD with built in CD copy and portable storage, naaaaa no chance. Still a very fine product with a nice niche filled.
I await the attachable screen aka PS-one style to allow portable viewing soon - clearly has expansion space hidden in that case somewere.
DOS dead - the only secure operating system that Microsoft ever wrote - well brought in. Though for those of us privledged to have seen the source - well I shant menion the boot loader by SUN Microsysytems and the blatantly funny comments - something like " well that should be enough but not sure" and the ilk.
Indeed the technology required back then is iin all essence today's PDA's but anything a programmer touches or a marketing peeps see's instantly gets rejigged/revamped X,Y,Z added (sure there is one peep who actualy uses function Z somewhere) and the ballpark moves. You see CPU and technology is like money - the more resources you have the more ways it gets spent. ALso speach recognition back then was just single person with distinct well trained accent/language. Today your'd be hard pushed to get a marketing dept to sell anything that didn;t have flash graphics, Multi user and language capabilities etc etc etc.
Yes it could be done and until some software company takes the approch that supermarkets have and does a basic simple range of software then the requirements will keep on mooving on.
Best bet IMHO is to use your PDA as a digital recorder and the/A PC to do the backend processing. I mean do you need instant translation - probably not unless it a universal translator and there still aspiring to that nivana.
this expliot has been around for over a year now. I consider any highlighting to the mass's as responsible given the amount of people who know about it already.
Indeed or they would be prosecuting people with microwaves and flourescant lights for having DoS tools.
Gaming mods as part of school curiculum
on
Gaming Goodness
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
Given that school is meant too prepare us for later life and enable us to lead productive and fruitfull lives. When will that start embracing education into gaming mods. Not only would they be touching upon the real world but would also enforce the use of math's, physics, art,creativity, logic, design etc etc as part of the process. I'm sure that alot of mods/maps come from students already who even work in groups, just be a nice fun way to help educate and enforce knowledge though aplication.
If this was a government and not a University wouldn't we call this kind of thing bribery and corruption? Still guess we can't grumble as university students of today are tomorrow's politicians.
indeed the comparrision to Mcgyver moments/last 5 mins of any startrek involving engineering is high but that is paramount to any humour/good scifi. Suppose my current fav would be the eps in season 6 were the 2 geeks try to save sg-1 - realy funny eps but lacking in reconfiguring a starf weapon as a teleport - perhaps season 7 will see that happen.
on irc we have bots/scripts for peeps that post certain url's of over-worn bad-tste. Why not a simple auto moderator to do 90% of the work and autoban certain url's. Still have meta-moderation to start with as a safty net but still - how mny hours will it save. Its is the enviomental thing to do given the saving in electricity/bandwith/time and resources.
Any chance of a vote or some action on this?
After Mr Jackson became a god-liek creature in Season 6 and florished in season 7 the rest of the cast became jelous. As time went on many of the cast also gained super-human powers and now with the onset of season 14 producers are wondering if they should rename the series 'Fantastic four' but are curretnly seek approval *grin*.
In tonights episode the guest stand up comic is Fraiser playing Teac's long lost son of season 6 fame.
Its funny how in Germany they seem to want to charge the customer were in the UK all the mobile teco's got pissed off with requests for duplicate bill's from the police (which have all call's made and when) that they started charging them.
Will we see cheaper CD's now they have quashed all the illegle copies in one bow - like hell we will. Will they see more CD sales - like hell they will.
I refuse to purchase a product that assumes I'm guilty aswould be the case of a crippled CD. There more than wlcome to cripple CD's but any hardcore pirate or technical geek will only bust it in a matter of hours so its pointless - just look at DVD's. SO there welcome to do what they like - I know I will.
