So why not let the spindoctors turn the situation into a positive event. Since the issue is fixed, why not address the usual media and tell everybody that the "Firefox web site is now safer than ever". Others are doing the same and earn billions.
Sci-fi/western/comedy/drama, the good old recipe that also made Star Trek a success. I am looking forward to see the movie. Glad to see that this refreshing effort got appreciated by the organizers of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
The Inquirer is reporting about plans by Intel to cut Linux out of the content market. The best thing is that people actually pay for this crap. We finance this garbage right now.
Time to cancel my cable subscription and think about more important things in life than Bullywood movies.
Sure, ask the government to park a few M1A1's in your backyard. Since you are on it, why not order an update, the M1A2. Oh, BTW the Abrams' 120mm cannon by Rheinmetall comes with a sicker "Made in Germany".
Seriously, tanks fulfill their purpose when they protect the tax payers. Research funded by tax payers does not serve any purpose when the tax payers' intellectual property is taken away from the tax payers and then offered to the tax payers for a second time. Talk about IP theft. In the US publicly funded research also belongs to the tax payers, including my own. Thank you for your contribution.
I am so sick and tired of the folks at the Fraunhofer Institut. First they get funded by German tax payers, and then they sell their product - no, make that the tax payers' product - again through the MPEG licence mafia to the tax payers. And to make matters worse, public broadcasters avoid MPEG because of the licence.
Sounds like they found the blueprint of a Roman windmill at an archeological excavation. Try http://www.metric4us.com/
95% of the people on earth find the Ancient Imperial units just funny.
Which woman would bother to ask a man for help? Be honest!;-) So why should unix users enter `man' for help? There is nothing advanced about unix or c.
HP is currently "giving" away an Itanium server for attendees of a $2000 HP and Intel Developer Workshop - of course only in the USA (always the same pattern, do not call it fascism). http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=24502
The regular price for such a server is more than $3000. What you get is a low-end server without the extras for a workstation. Oh, and HP recommends Microsoft Windows XP. Do you recommend Microsoft Windows? We have seen such deals before. A few months later, let's say one VMS revision later, and the free server is no longer supported.
The quotes at pricewatch show why a regular low-end Itanium system costs more than $3000. Did I mention that not all of these Itanium systems run all operating systems? Do not expect that all Itanium systems are compatible. And which operating system would be most affected? VMS, of course.
But the biggest problem is the lack of CHEAP low-end systems. Who is seriously going to spend money on a $3000, or maybe $2000 Itanium PC? Nobody. A PC costs $500, no more. Why would anybody want to invest into two different platforms for workstations and servers? Performance? Just tripple the number of low-cost x86 servers and you still end up with lower costs than for any Itanium system. The bottom line is that without cheap workstations and notebooks there will be no growing Itanium market. Intel made it pretty clear that this will not happen. Look for the AMD64 series instead!
Recently the US Supreme Court ruled that the pharmaceutical industry can utilize competitors' patents for research and even during a trial, without a license, as long as a new product is not being marketed. This may also have some interesting applications in the software market. Let's see if there are smart open source advocates who can exploit this idea.
Oh, and I think a few citizens in the EU ruled that EU commissions are undemocratic.;-)
"ONLY front end"? These idiots at CardSystems Solutions put insecure Microsoft software at the front end and expect that this concept is secure. My grandmother could have told them that every component has the be secure, in particular the front end, not just the back end. When will they learn? When will they pay the price?

How about a comparison with other regions, such as the European Union? I know, some people prefer to compare the US with countries such as Luxembourg. Anyway, IT Facts reported an estimated 38M homes with broadband access by the end of 2004. They only list the "old" EU countries. Add the new members and you get a better picture.
I do not have the numbers for Japan at hand, but I could imagine that they do like broadband connections, too.
Truckers could build their own network. Each truck serves as hub, very much like HAM radio. Ham meat in the back, ham radio in the cab. Add a few access points spread over the country, like phone, satellite, fixed AP's. That should keep our truckers happy on their way to the Texas reps with a truck load of adult material.
Is there software that can do it? How about installations from home-to-home?
1 cc = 1/100 speed of light?
One day, when Japanese androids replace teachers in the US, kids will learn how to handle units. Won't be a big deal, though - only 5% of the world population left that still did not get it.
Shockwave already came. Check the Bugtraq mailing list at www.securityfocus.com and read all about Shockwave. The shockwave will hit you so badly that you want to flush the whole junk in a flash.
Or take HP. Sure they sell x86 boxes. But they also sell OpenVMS/Alpha systems. Different operating system, different processor. Nowadays most of the online documents from HP are PDF files. And yet there is NO SUPPORTED PDF READER FOR (not-so-open)VMS from HP or Adobe. Imagine your operating systems comes with no supported reader for the documention about your operating system!
BTW we have not forgotten that Adobe and Compaq (now HP) have killed DisplayPostScript (DPS). Thank you, thank you so much! I am sure Apple users know what I am talking about, and a few unix users as well. Ironically killing DPS also killed other programs, such as custom applications and even OpenVMS applications to display VMS documents.
IMHO Adobe is as bad as Microsoft! Too bad that many Linux users do not see how Adobe ticks.
Get cable, dsl or maybe just a modem for your home, pay for the service and do not waste time with stupid network administrators. Life is too short for that. Just make sure you know what you do. P2P services are of course not illegal. Even sharing MP3 files is not illegal. Just sharing copyrighted material without prior permission from the author of the title is illegal in many countries.
If you have a legitimate interest in a P2P service at your university, then maybe you want to contact your advisor, supervisor or the dean. Your boss should take care of nonsense regulations. If not, then maybe you are wasting your time working with someone who does not support you.
Get a life! P2P services are not illegal. Neither are the web, the postal service, video tapes, etc.. Just because some people to share copyrighted material without permission of the author does not mean everyone in the world is a thief. Even duplicated stupidy like your message is not illegal.

Nice to see that a group of enthusiasts is having success, isn't it? After all this is how it all started.
Europe invented the World Wide Web, we want it back - now. All your web browsers belong to us, not US.
And let parents of kids and grandmas serve on the jury who got blackmailed by the so called copyright owners over alleged DMCA violations.

Isn't that something you need for homeland security? Security as in securing money for your home?

Hey, if HP would pursue the Alpha path, then they would have to sell their own software instead of Microsoft shit. Scary, you know!

You should see what the folks at CNN produce! It's a redefinition of Europe and the rest of the world.

Does anybody know a printer that prints PDF files? AFAIK there are NONE. Of course there are PostScript printers, and others, but PDF? ZERO!
