Judging by his past big appointments, it'll be a person who must've said at one time or another that the justice system is bogus and we could do without it.
Except the root servers are distrubted around the world. It would be one hell of a task to take down all the servers, especially since one logical server could have a bunch of physical machines which are also spread around the globe redundantly storing the data.
Not to mention the fact that there are several major DNS's that aren't part of ICANN running.
I said he made no veiled threats. That, my friend, is an open threat. My comment was in reply to the parent to my post who said he made veiled and open threats.
"the problem is that he went beyond that and threatened legal action and announced he would no longer perform his assigned duties."
Threatening legal action is what I said he did. He didn't go beyond what I said. Like it was even in the line you quoted from me. How did you miss that?
He made no veiled threats. The company was doing an illegal practice. He said "you shouldn't do that, and it's my ethical responsibility to report it to the authorities if you don't stop it."
He made an internal memo to save the company from public embarassment. He didn't make anything public until they had raided his house.
If you lost respect for a man because he wants to get what he's entitled too, then I say you couldn't have had much respect for him in the first place.
I'm not arguing, because I don't know, but this is from the article:
"By the time the test ends in early 2008, the operator hopes to hit the maximum speed of 250 mph -- faster than the train will travel during regular operation.
French company Alstom SA's TGV, or Train a Grande Vitesse, is currently the world's fastest train, operating at a top speed of 218 mph."
First off, trains don't run on sunshine and kisses. They require power too.
Second, you can't scale this system from a small country like Japan to the massive scale of America. The US has many more miles of track to upgrade and maintain.
Third, Japan isn't as internally segmented as the US is. If Japan wants to get it done, it gets done. If the US wanted to get it done, it'd lead to months of legislation between states.
Heaven forbid you think about a problem logically instead of accusing the most convenient large corporation.
Yes they are unpaid, and they are individuals, but if their only reply is "RTFM n00b!" then I wouldn't exactly call that volunteering their time.
I volunteer my time on some forums and I think it would be a waste of everybody's time if instead of helping I told everybody to read a book for an answer.
Of course you could find the answer to just about every question in a book somewhere or another, but then why have teachers? You're so right! Education is pointless! Imagine the amounts of books we could buy for people if we didn't have to pay for teachers and schools and such!

Don't forget the cost of porting applications that your business depends on.
Will it support DRM?

I admit it! There was a time in my life when I used to shit on myself.
Also, there was a time when I was illiterate!
I feel so much better that I got that off my chest. Feel free to prosecute me as you see fit!

But barring all that... yeah... very dangerous.

Would you be happy if your paycheck got cut by a third?
An extra $100 million is like a new scholarship or cancer foundation or something...
hmmm... how many scholarship/cancer foundations can you start with $100 million?
Maybe he was shorted like 4-6 SCF's!
x86, PPC and SPARC are different architectures with different machine code commands.
Intel and AMD are both x86. Aside from optimizing for chip-specific features, they should generate the same machine code.
Will this usher in the new era of the Intel N chip?
Users have to buy their own math co-processor!

Except that's completely incorrect.

That, and the fact
that the US is much
larger, land area
wise, than Japan.
Also, the infrastructure
of the American rail
system is poor at
best.
The cost of upgrading
the thousands and
thousands of miles
to support high speed
bullet trains would
be much too large.
It's just too costly
with little to no
benefit compared to
the cost. It's not
some giant conspiracy
by big oil companies.
I think a major problem with Amtrak is the rail system is rather old and out-dated. They don't have the money to operate let alone to upgrade.
Support your constitutional right to bear packets!
"Or in other words, the external device must respond directly to the stream provided by the computer device."
Such as a speaker?
I believe a parent post mentioned that speakers were included in a computer controlled device. That could be wrong of course.

All linux associates will be required to yell "RTFM n00b!" before answering any questions.
I only speak from experience, cause that's the response I get when I need linux help.
