  1. If MS has to pay for licensing... on Company Files Motion to Stop IE Distribution · · Score: 3

    the money is going to come out of the user/customer's pocket...

  2. benchmark against hyperthreaded CPU on Apple's Dual 2GHz By The Numbers · · Score: 1

    a question: how does this compare to a intel's hyperthreading processor.
    any benchmarks on that?
    When comparing against a hyperthreading (HT) processor, do you count a HT CPU as one or two.
    Linux kernel sees HT CPU as two, so SMB kernel has to be used.

    Why they didn't just unplug the machine though is beyond me.
    i think they are busy answering the fone calls. ;)

  4. a good career move??? on Oops, Dave Barry Does It Again · · Score: 1

    his group argues that, if its members are prohibited from calling people who do not want to be called, then two million telemarketers will lose their jobs.
    Since when did pestering peole during dinner become a profession? No I am talking about the automatic dialers. More than half the calls I receive, are made by automatic dialers.
    I mean I wouldn't mind talking to a actual humanoid on the other trying to make me upgrade my long distance service, when I dont even have a long distance service to begin with!!!!

    Plus gaming industry created 5000 new jobs last year. How more democratic can we get ;)

  6. you dont have to spend much time on HW or in class on How Do Managers Rate On-line Universities? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    UOP claims that you dont have to spend much time on HomeWork, or in Class. It is for people with Busy Schedules.
    I didnt know learning was so easy. If you want to learn something, you have to make sacrifice. I remember when I was in school for Computer Science, I spent close to 40+ hours/week for my final project and classes.
    I understand that people who have fill-time jobs, and families dont have that kind of time, but as i said earlier, learning requires sacrifice. If you dont have time to take 2-3 classes, just take 1 class/semester at a regular uni.

  7. Re:Not particularly useful without a teacher on MIT Open Courseware with 500 Courses · · Score: 2, Interesting

    you can email the faculty member associated with the course, and you will get a prompt reply. I have always received a reply same day.
    offcourse this not same as learning in a classroom. But you cant have that for free. You need to pay for that. Professors need to make a living as well.

  8. Faculty members are very helpful too on MIT Open Courseware with 500 Courses · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I started going through one of the course few months back. And one few ocassions I email the instructors, for clarifications/explanations. And I always got a prompt reply. Even though I am not paying anything to MIT.

  9. conference presentations on MIT Emerging Technologies Conference · · Score: 4, Interesting

    i wish the presentations from MIT Emerging Technologies Conference, LinuxWorld, and Apache be available on the internet for free. I can't go to all of them. i only have money to goto to ApacheCon :(

    Video taping them, and making them available on the internet or on a CD for a charge could be also beneficial. Just a thought.

  12. RDF is quite pratical on Practical RDF · · Score: 4, Informative

    RDF is quite pratical - with or without the book. There are several hundred websites explaning how to use RDF in your application. There are classes for JAVA/PHP etc for this purpose. A interesting use of RSS is to integrate it with the IMAP, and get the latest email show up on your portal page.

  15. gotta compete on Is Prescott 64-bit? · · Score: -1

    gotta compete. Intel had to come with something better(cost effective) than Athalon64. If there was no competition, we would be still using 8088/6

  17. good way to upgrade on Telstar 4 is Down · · Score: 2, Insightful

    breaking something, usually speeds up upgrade process.
    In IT people that a lot (especially with the servers)
    And with the recent increase in MS security patches this has become more evident. People are scrambling to upgrade/switch to better OS (like OS X, Linux etc)

  18. w3c on HTTP Developer's Handbook · · Score: 4, Insightful

    why would i wanna "buy" a book, that has info that is already available on http://www.w3c.org?
    You can also join the W3c mailing lists to get in-depth info on any of the technology stacks.

  19. Re:Apache Problems on Registration Opens For ApacheCon US 2003 · · Score: 1

    Offcourse there are other optimized HTTP daemons, that are faster than regular build of apache. but these are optimized for a specific application. you can NOT take these web deamons and run PHP/java on them. for e.g. the WebCam server based on a BSD kernel runs a optimized httpd will not run php/java.

    When I was in university, i built a webserver that could query a Objectivity DB. It was extremely fast at doing that "particular function". But that doesn't it was better than Apache. Cause querying a ObjectivityDB was all it could do - which is not of much use if you are not using objectivity

    However in everyday usage you need a HTTPD that is more generic in nature, and can handle various elements of a technology stack.
    Apache is far better than other general purpose webservers, that are capable of handling various technologies (java/php/webdav etc). IIS is also one of these. But IIS is not faster or better than Apache.

    maybe you didnt setup your webserver correctly.

    i dont think military has any worse IT dept then any other large corporation might have. it is just that they become the target of the media, since afterall it the "MILITARY" we are talking. but i think it is all just hype....

  22. not worried on Nmap Gets Version Detection · · Score: 4, Interesting

    While this is a little bit worrisome because of what malicious purposes people might use nmap's version detection for

    hmmm I think NMAP will only report the version that service will respond. I can make my Apache instance respond with anything, for e.g. "saqib webserver ver. 9.0"

    Version detection can also be very helpful
    It is good to know that NMAP support version detection. There have been mny instance in the past, especially during the recent virus outbreaks, where I wished I could find the Service version.

  23. Re:scripting & openbrick on Automated Wireless File Transfers? · · Score: 3, Informative

    heartbeat and openbrick is a very good idea. However I will suggest RSYNC instead of ftp.
    RSYNC will help you re-start the transmission from where you left if the connection breaks.
