Because it is so hard to identify less than 99% uptime. If you cannot measure it, how can expect people to be able to consider it in their decision of what product to buy. That is why 'Consumer Reports' is considered such a good magazine, it measures all the attributes a consumer could not identify on their own.
When I got up, I had a cool refreshing *Pepsi* while I put on my Ultra-Performance *Nike* shoes and my *Fruit of the Loom* running uniform.
Make it one paragraph to describe every little thing and then have your blog run like 10 pages a day so that you can maximize your advertising revenue.
Is it me or is the future starting to look more and more like the Running Man?
I guess the next thing we need is to make criminals get punished on TV game shows like The Price is Right, Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune. Or maybe force them to be watch those programs, that is probably worse...
It is only a matter of time before someone offered inexpensive ink. It was obvious that HP was taking extreme measures to prevent someone from competing in that space.
This shows how important regulation of businesses we need to have. Too many people don't want to get involved in anything (government or otherwise). It is sad that the people who run these businesses feel they don't have to be accountable at all to anyone about how they run their business.
What about these unregulated Hedge Funds Too many people insist that they be given a free ride because they cater to intellect investors. The subprime mortgage basically proved that more than a few of these businesses are little better than pyramid schemes( example: bundling of crappy mortgages and selling them as AAA bonds).
When they address something that actually cost the US a couple of TRILLION dollars, then lets worry about Spammers.
Your basically giving up all your options in the hopes that he is a nice guy? What happens if he is a jerk? Besides who said that this is stabbing him in the back? This is a neutral way of bringing up the issue without any preconceptions on whether he copied or posted it.
It would be nice but the real world is full of incompetent, selfish and stupid people. If this guy DID copy this code off the internet from someone else, that should tell you something.
At least be man enough to let your boss know what kind of person you really are.
So by insulting me, you are really addressing the issue? Like that is going to end in a good result.
What was the last thing that got changed in this environment?
The way most IT networks are run you would be lucky to know if anyone is updating their environment. Businesses don't care about employing good or experienced employees, not that they know how to know they have one, they are concerned with whether they are under-budget so they can get their bonus for the year.
An organization can go forward if they have someone who is involved with the industry and understands the underlying technology. If they are electing a lawyer it is pretty obvious what they consider important.
There is no bid, SCO said in bankrupty court that there "MAY be a buyer".
They are going down the tubes and they are doing anything they can to stem the tide. If they means they go to bankruptcy court to spread this rumor, so be it. Only a fool would believe them.
The second CD ripped in 2:17.71 according to the defendant's timing (I timed the second demonstration in 2:18.97). Gabriel again objected, saying that he had it at three-and-a-half minutes.
I would assume that Mr Gabriel is using the same clock that uses for billing his clients as that would account for the time differences.
I am sure that these shows, will be crap. Just like all the pandering that networks do when someone INVENTS a new audience. If it is too good, "Firefly" or "Farscape", they will immediately run out and cancel it because the audience is too small and they cannot sell advertising on Sci-Fi.
I think that Democrats are just stuck in the mode of "this is how things get done."
If the Republicans are going to filibuster, then they should just go ahead and force them to do it. Hold-up all business and make sure that they are speaking all the time. Prevent them from doing another work. It may stop democrats for working, but if you are in the majority you can still rotate enough people in and out, the republicans cannot otherwise if they stop the filibuster a vote can take place.
Forcing the Republicans to filibuster would certainly keep them from being so eager to threaten it EVERY TIME a vote comes up. It would keep them from getting other work done, like lobbying, for example.
I also wonder if a defendant can,in court, require the RIAA to verify the identity of the individual from whom the file was downloaded. In other words, the person who posts file, they must not be someone is legally able to distribute the file in this manner and the RIAA would have to prove that in court.
Chances are, that person would not have the right but the additional burden of having to identify this individual would certainly make it harder on the RIAA.
Obviously the consumer cannot tell the difference because it is not a "Flash" ad moving wildly across the screen saying "Spank the Monkey, Spank the Monkey!"
I guess using Google does not qualify your ability to understand the search results.
I can understand the desire/need for NTP servers. The question for me becomes, does this reduce the quality of chips used in PCs?
The chips that keep track of time don't have to be as accurate since, "hey, it can just sync up with NTP server." Once you let something simple like time slide, maybe they let other issues slide too because "Who is going to notice?"
I think it is more of a 'missed the forest for the trees' sort of deal. Have to improve media performance, so I will pick the pocket of network throughput to make it happen.
This is why large organizations fail, they don't have to respond to each other. They can work with tunnel vision and screw stuff up and think they are 100% correct.
What killed them was when the owner/founder of the company handing the reins over to a IBM manager/friend. This friend convinced him that he knew exactly how to run a large business and ended turning it into a large corporate bureaucracy. At that point it became a company of bean counters( customer service agents who would hang up on the customer after 12 minutes), management cronies and corporate meetings to play the blame game.
No Ethernet is pretty basic, and so are the tools for finding problems. A cable that is not terminated correctly can be almost impossible to detect without someone sitting down to scan network traffic. That requires a fairly high level of knowledge to do.
My point is that people plug stuff in and expect it to work, and it does for the most part. However, when there is a problem you can either brute force it( pulling cables or reinstalling a whole OS) or use tools that require a high level of knowledge to use.
This brings out an obvious point, despite the advances we have made in computing and IT, it is still relatively young and not that robust.
This is the equivalent of your car stops working and the 'check engine' light does not even come on. At least now some of the technology for cars is getting to the point that it will find the problem for you. The same still cannot be said for large computer networks.
When people stop treating computers as flawless wonder machines, then we shall see some real progress made.
Maybe, but to me that is not the problem. The US is intent on outsourcing ownership of EVERYTHING to corporations. Instead of the government restricting rights, they are outsourcing it to corporations. They are not bound by the same laws as the government and so trample over individual rights (free speech, gun ownership, personal privacy, drug testing, identification implants, etc...).
I am not sure the framers could have envisioned businesses could restricting personal freedoms in place of the government. I do not think that those personal freedoms should be taken away by anyone, corporations or the government.

I can just picture those blogs now

This is the correct approach. It does two things,
This is one of those things that is unlikely to come back and bite you, (unless your boss also reads slashdot, then your screwed!)

It's easier to crash one too.
Obliviously it was intended to be used in Hollywood movies based upon his impressions of action movies.
I would assume that Mr Gabriel is using the same clock that uses for billing his clients as that would account for the time differences.
Don't Tell GWB, he will use it on our federal agencies instead!
Personally, I'd prefer to stick with the deal I have.
I am pretty sure businesses would love for things to stay the way things are also. Does not make it right.

anybody who would consider using a Saturn 5 rocket as any sort of weapon is absolutely insane
And for these situations we have James Bond, as shown by this documentary.
Just because it is insane, does not mean it is not movie making material!
