You know, the relationship between AOL and AIM is interesting. Obviously AIM orginally began as IM's on AOL's network. AOL's huge market share is what pushed it all along. But now, I know only one person who stil runs AOL itself. Everyone else uses AIM or trillian, etc. It seems to me that the decline of AIM's popularity is only because of AOL's decline in popularity. Not because of the FCC's rule on videoconferencing. Just kind of a random thought I had.
I dunno about that. It seems that there would be another power struggle between the two agencys. How do you define which one controls what airspace? Even once that's defined, there will probably be constant fights over it. Because the one that controls the most airspace, would in general bring in the most money.
I like the Ad. It's simple, and to the point. However the site with more information is waaaaay too complicated for most people. I've been trying in recent times to explain to people why I stopped buying cd's. Why the RIAA suing for 98 billion dollars is recockulus. But people in general don't understand. And this site is too complicated. People will read it, say wtf is "compulsory licensing" and go back to downloading porn. What we need is a good site with the whole idea explained simply. That would be excellent.
If you see no reason to use enterprise, then don't. In that case, go with the least complex distro they have. At the very least, it might save you troubleshooting headaches later on. Perhaps put half on enterprise, in case you need the additional features, and half on the others.
What they're trying to do, as far as I understand, is put a shell around what's gonna be comprimised. In your example, it would be virtual pc. If outlook gets comprimised, you can shut down virtual pc and it's all good. But in reality, it's not that easy, because virtual pc isn't designed for that. They've designed a different kind, one that's supposed to be secure, and one that even acts on a differnt layer then the OS. Then they added tracking abilitys, etc.
That is true. I work for the government. There are policys in place which require a investigation into where the data is being stored. As in, there has to be a really good reason why any data is stored offsite, and not just because it's easier.
I dunno, it could go either way. When OO does become more widespread, and MS does change the format substantially, then Ximian could always say that it was microsoft screwing up the format. That would just piss off a lot of customers. But on the other hand, if the OO users see the office users still using them perfectly, it could drive them away.
It can depend. For example, most of my distant relatives live in small villages in India. Having visited them, food isn't really a concern. There's plenty of that. Clean water? Maybe. However, their immune systems have adapted to the water, so only american born people like me needed to boil it first. Like it says in the article, power was key. At 9pm, every night, the power to the village would be shut off, so the city could have power. That, is the real technical hurdle.
Look at it this way. The fundamentals of a car haven't changed since the model T. It still has wheels, an engine, and a transmission to link them. But I would hardly say the best of cars is behind us. Nowdays, we have 200k miles reliability, 30mpg fuel consumption, from cars that can run 11's on the strip with a little work. Computers/Software industry is much the same way. The easy bang for the buck software is written(word processing, etc). These won't change. But there is automation programming, simulations, AI, and many other aspects which we still on the cusp of breaking through. No, the software industry isn't dead. We're just gonna have to work harder to make quality products. I predict the 1-3 year devolpment cycle(okay, I know that's a general statement) as being replaced by a 5-6 year cycle. It takes time, and money to write good software. But the market is still there. They're just much more cautious now.
Unfortunantly, you are correct. The governments stance is to protect the rich, and screw over the poor. The rich make themselves richer, the poor get poorer, and the cycle continues. Look at it this way, who buys the most CD's? The 55 year old white guy, driving a porsche to work everyday? Or the young kid, riding the bus to work, listing to music everyday. The funny thing is, out of all my friends who listen to a lot of music, only the people aren't into buying cd's, are the ones who use kazza. The ones who wouldn't buy a CD anyhow, even without kazza. The rest of them still to this day buy 2-3 cd's a month, regardless of the cost.
Exactly as the above poster said. They're suing the network operators, NOT the kids. To me, that's like gun manufacturers because some crackhead shot people up! Personal responsibility people! If the RIAA sued the kids, I would have no problem with it. Sue the people doing the crime.
"The principal winners in that would not be SCO, but Microsoft and potentially Sun."
I figure MS and SUN are on SCO's side, but I wonder to what extent. Maybe they are thinking that the lawsuit itself is good enough, but that if somehow they won and recieved damages of a billion dollars, that IBM would be done for, in this economy.
What I don't understand is the whole innocent until proven guilty thing. Just because they have a log saying an IP from a company was downloading illegalsong.mp3 doesn't mean that the person doesn't actually own that on cd. Why are they guilty until proven innocent. I see how an individual couldn't fight them, or a small business because of the legal costs involved, but a fortune 1000 company should be able to. At least, I'd hope they could fight them, and I'm sure they'd be able to recover legal fees in court.
Who has data that needs to be so secure that their competitors spending 10 million dollars and a year of their time to do it is a problem? My only thoughts were of governemnt/military/big corps, but couldn't all of them use longer keys?
I'm all for mass adoption of these technologies. But I can't see this being useful for another 10 years. When cell phones came out, they were more of a novelty. People were always around a land line, and didn't need the freedom. People didn't start to really need them all the time until 10-20 years later. I think the same thing about internet access everywhere. Sure it's cool, but how many people really need internet everywhere? By the time it will be useful, I'd guess everyones moving over to a different standerd.
No, I don't agree. I don't agree at all. We are on the cusp of the biggest improvents in computing in my opinion. It's like cars. First 50 years there was huge improvements. But they didn't become really useful, commodity goods even, until everyone had one. Then the real useful work begins. Refinement. Same with computing. The largest gains in terms of speed, etc have probobly happened already. But now we have the golden age to look forward. Where computers, as useful as they are now, will become more useful(kinda redundant, but oh well). We will soon be able to have computers that don't crash, that work with everything. Moreso, everyone will be able to use them, like cars. And then, when most can afford to use, and most can use, is when the real fun and excieting stuff happens. Computers that do the work, instead of you doing most of it. Photorealic games, surgey from half way around the world. The golden age is coming.
Seems great, a quiet generator. I used to set up carnival equipment, and this would be great to have. But how will I get the hydrogen? For industrial use, as the site says, there are only 3 places in the city I live in to get the fuel. And it's a big city! Plus, for residential and commercial use, it'll be pretty difficult to get a hold of the H. T he site says it will soon be availaible in exchangeable canisters, but I don't think it'll catch on until it's availble at grocery stores, like propane.
I don't really think it's supposed to be a sterotype. It's simply a comparison. The average person would consider cooking to be easier then quantum physics. Although judging by the fact that I have burned cereal, this might be wrong.
man, you are not leet! My clan programs naked, in the snow, while snowboarding down the mountain with explosions going off behind us Triple X style! This we do on a daily basis. And the worst part? To get our pants back, we have to lick a metal pole! But we roXor all!
While I have a linksys router, this still does not concern me. All I have to do, is unplug it, and plug it back in. Net' access restored. I don't know of any home users who need 100% uptime internet access. I suppose there are some work at home people who might need it. But personally, I have enough problems with AT&T cables fluctuating speeds then I would with my router crashing.

Check here for a good background on DFS. It also has a quick table comparison of the popular programs, and a walkthrough to set up Intermezzo.

AHA! Then what we need is a button to click to make the choices better! A +1 Not an idiot bonus perhaps.
