Abolish Spam? What's next in the agenda of the MS government? The liberation of users from oppressive GNU/GPL "commie" regimes, polices and practices? Is it me, or does the wording comes off a bit too testosterone filled and self-righteous?
And as someone else already replied to you, the world is not only fucked up, but you are too. Copying? No innovation? Heck. Lets reeinvent the wheel. Lets patent gravity. Lets patent Cameron Diaz' looks. So noone can claim to use gravity again, use anything with wheels or be blonde, slim, etc. That means anything, either of importance or not, can be used ever again. Heck. Careful. I might sue you for breathing the same way I do, through your lungs.
In short, you can shove your pathetic little rant up your mac loving arse.
This is sinister and lowly, but have you thought the chance of this being a paid for article? I remember reading a certain post about it, not too long ago.
No it isn't. It changes from product to product (or between categories of products) and even from country to country. For example, you only pay 5% on food. And your 17.5% in the UK is 18% in Greece, more than that in other places and 14-15 in others.
Apparently the danger mainly comes from people in the flight cabin or people in first class having mobile phones (say in their bags, on the floor). People in economy don't cause that much interference, but it still is sizable. It also explains why laptops are almost safe. Apparently they only affect the antennas and not navigation...
I wonder why this is on the front page; it's no news IMO. I've installed SuSE 8.0 Pro on a OEM tablet pc and it was a breeze. Normal x86 hardware with normal hardware, partitioned with ReiserFS and resized the Win2k NTFS one. The only posible sticking point is power management and the touchscreen input (mine was PenMount from SALT salt.com.tw, didn't quite work as easy as expected). Oh, and one other thing. RH 9.0 hangs during the first post install boot up. Just doesn't like it.... WiFi or Bluetooth can give (or might not, depends on mileage) the normal trouble/headache to set up. Other than that all the hardware was configured and running properly. Heck, I even installed OpenOffice and Evolution and coupled with its docking station I introduced the HR department to linux and they were impressed.
This already exists, not as a whole, but in parts. Meshes will never become a reality. They are the most wasteful of radio access network implementations. Instead, expect to see virtual arrays. Simplistically meaning you get to have network access because some other user does and vice versa. Encryption on wireless/mobile comms is a joke, as WEP has shown. Work is being done, but good encryption algorithms, suitable for the environment to be used in, are not like pizzas. You just can't order one. The "intellignet" routing you want exists in various shapes and forms. The SIP framework is one of the most important schemes out there.
Every University round the globe that has an even remotely competent Aeronautical/Mechanical/Electronics/CompSci/Vision department, takes part in a "Mars Rover" project, funded by xyz. So, what's so differne about these folks, that necessitates (correct spelling? I doubt it) front page status?
You said it yourself. It's a budget card. No leaps and bounds in terms of graphics card techonology progress will be found, otherwise, it wouldn'b be a budget card. Besides, they have to put a product out, so that they keep customer awareness on their products and not on ATI's, considering how the latest NVIDIA flagship product performs...
This has to do with information theory, source and channel coding and modulation.
It'd be nice if these people standardised on a framework that can be combined with various coding and modulation schemes, in a modular sense, instead of creating 802.11xyz groups every now and then...
Guess marketers and managers (ie The Incompetent at best, The Illiterate as per usual) have taken over from the engineers.
Scan have had loads of offers of KiSS players in the recent past, here in the UK. I can't quite remember if they were KiSS players per se or Scan ones, manufactured by KiSS. Either way, I bet that these new players will be available there soon...
There is a very simple solution to all this. And it does include using the HLR. The GSM standardisation mentions of a database that is common among carriers. This database will be similar to the HLR, only it will include more info. This database was until recently left unused, simply because carriers refused to share their information. Since last year, the UK government forced them to share info, in order to combat petty theft, ie if you live in the UK, you'll know that mobile phone theft was (is?) soaring. So no, the problem is not complex. The provision for such matters is _fully_ described in the standardisation; it's the carriers' fault thath this hasn't been implemented, wherever this may be.
In any case, even in the places where phone number reservation wasn't available, this feature will come, simply because it's a requirement of 3G and 4G. In short, 3G ideally stands for a multimedia service that is transparent, from network to network, whether the switch is just roaming or a permanent switch to a different operator.
No offense, but if you now rejoice at this news, then you are trully living in mobile communications stone age. Anywhere in Europe, this is expected/demanded by the customers.
Simple. GSM is used almost everywhere in the world. It's the most widely available mode of celular telephony. Exceptions include Japan, South Korea and the US. Pretty much everyone else uses GSM.
If it's as shaky as the 7650 and the 7210 (kept crashing, UK operators asked shops to stop selling them until a new batch of phones with better software became available), then they'd better not let it out to the market, considering that SonyEricsson has released some high quality phones lately... Heck, even the Siemens ones are kicking Nokia's arse lately.
The guy is living with his head in the clouds... Shifting control focus to the user from the core network is the main technological difference between 3G and 4G. The other being that 3G exists (for those in the UK, Huthcinson 3G will be the ones first to mass market - the new "three" videophones -) and 4G is still in its design stages. There is a 4G forum (ala 3GPP), but everything else is sketchy. As far as the network capabilities, the guy really doesn't know what he's talking about. UMTS/IMT2000 theoretically goes up to 2Mb/sec, you'll be lucky if it's as fast as dual ISDN in real life. There's also plans to have wireless interfaces with Hiperlan/2, WiFi and ATM, up to 155Mb/sec, only these schemes will probably be happening at the same time when man goes to Mars; at least 15 years from now, just in time with the then newly introduced 4G. The 5-10 year rollout estimation, considering the success GSM has enjoyed (will be here for at least the next 15-20 years) and the very slow and limited rollout of 3G, is way off base. In 5-10 years 3G will still be the service the companies will be trying to sell us to replace GSM. Now as far as telling the user "wait till you get to the office for that 10 meg download", the restriction is not price, but the radio access network. Maybe we'll be able to reach similar speeds by then, but mobility will be close to zero. In other words, you'll have multimedia with a low factor of mobility (say public transport, British rail, walking) but at high speeds (say Eurostar, SNCF) it's highly unlikely to be able to get anything like multimedia. Obviously for a 10 meg file you shouldn't even be walking. How convenient that they'll tell you to receive it at the office, because of the price...
You've got it all wrong mate. The way things are going, your statement should read "Ask not what your government will do to you, instead do damage to them on a debilitating degree so that you won't have to find out what they'd do to you...."
I have been looking for an excuse to get rid of Caldera 2.3 from our desktops for ages. Thanks to your suit against IBM and our illiterate management, I can now install any distro other than Caldera....
