They put national guard armed with m16s at the airports, funny thing was that they didn't have clips for their guns probably due to safety reasons. Heathrow(sp?) they parked tanks in front of the airport. Government knew full well that a no brigade of terrorists were going to come storming through, they were just feeding ignorance of the general populace and trying to invoke a sense of fear. How many times did terror alert rise in the US with no credible evidence? Its blatant fear mongering. There's no way a 9-11 could happen again, only reason why the first 3 planes succeeded is because people didn't know their lives were in immediate jeopardy. 4th plane passenger found out the fate of the previous 3 planes and proceeded jump the terrorists.
How did altivec revolutionize people's everydays task(web browse, word processing)? I bet I can ask 90% of all apple users and intel users what altivec and mmx is respectively and they wouldn't know. 3dnow from AMD is 100x times better than mmx(ssex) instrustion sets, its benchmarks the same as altivec yet its not something gamers, regular people and system administrators ever consider when making a purchase. Also this article is about servers, please tell me how a simd is going to help my database? Help my Web server? I'd rather have 3 cores than 8 simds on my servers anyday of the week.
Cell is a normal PPC chip with 8 SIMDs. Last time I checked, MMX didn't revolutionize PC chips. Being MMX is Simd instructions for pentiums. Cell is nothing new, they just call the simds,a Synergistic Processor Unit. Gotta love marketing speak.
It is a hijack. What he is refering to is that he isn't a hijacker since he isn't profiting off the link. He using the common 301 redirect hijack that has plague google for a while. If you view the cache of his website, you'll see that googlebot is getting a different page than normal users. Googlebot is getting a 301 to adwords. The inbound(trust) links are credited towards the hijacking site as seen here. If you check the first result, you'll notice no link to the hijackers page yet is credited as an inbound link.
Lets make a blanket statement without any proof. IIS6 doesn't get hacked. Please name a single virus that has come out in the last 2 years that exploits IIS? Please point me to high or critical expoit in the last two years.
And there hasn't been a true IIS exploit, code red expoited a ISAPI extension which would be like blaming apache for the PHP worm that went around.

Aren't SPU's just the marketing speak for SIMDs? Being a simd wouldn't make them that great for anything thats complex(AI etc). Look what MMX is used for in the pentiums.
A ajax is based off of XMLHttpRequest which is not standardized, firefox cloned Microsoft's ActiveX XMLHttpRequest object. XMLHttpRequest will eventually make it into the DOM, well hopefully. There's been discussion on the mailing list about it.
Its been out since IE 5.0 which was released in 2001. I've seen intranet apps use it all the time. Hell quick search, revealed old articles on the subject. I don't get how a 4 year old technology becomes new by simply giving it a stupid name. I even love how the article fails to mention that its been around for 4 years. And i love how the grand parent gets modded flamebait by merely pointing out that it was a Microsoft invention.
Microsoft'sIE was the first browser to offer XML capabilities using activex with microsoft xmldom and XMLHttpRequest object. This same concept was copied by other browsers and made famous by gmail.
The Ajax concept is based around something called the XMLHttpRequest component. All you Microsoft haters get ready to yell because this was a Microsoft creation! Yes, Microsoft got something right, and did so before anyone else! Microsoft first implemented the XMLHttpRequest object in Internet Explorer 5 for Windows as an ActiveX object (ok, so they didn't get it QUITE right!).
Microsoft doesn't know how to fail. They have taken over the PDA market by ousting palm. They will take over cell market. Growth of MSN search engine suggest they'll oust google. Only things i'm not sure about is game consoles, if sony doesn't live up to the hype, microsoft will own that market too.
Because osx has Safari. I wouldn't expect a new version IE, much like i wouldn't expect safari to be made available(konquerer doesn't count) for the PC platform. Office on apple doesn't mean jack, much like iTunes and Quicktime means jack.
If one of those batteries burned down someone's house and killed a couple people. The lawsuit would easily overshadow the costs of the recall. Especially when its was reported to the US consumer product safety commission, punitive damages would be astounding since it would show apple had prior knowlege to the fault.
If you to blame someone, go blame the bells or local phone company for not providing a way to access e911 services. This law will just kill voip since there is no obligation by local phone companies to grant access to e911 system already estabalished which is already payed for by tax payer money.
There's a saying, you can't con an honest man. Failing to do research is the fault of the victim. Greed is another fault(nigerian scam). Recieving spam, getting unsolicited phone call or having a random person guy approach you on the street to sell you stuff, are exactly the same. A person with common sense should easily equate these things. You can plead the ignorance case with spyware, viruses etc or running a command in some guys slashdotter's sig. But come on, its an unsolicted email.
Things you mention are all fixable with the advancement of technology. Devices are getting smaller, battery life is getting better, storage is getting greater, and UIs are getting improved.
This isn't a submarine patent as it was filed in 94 and granted 3 years later. And I'd assume borland was probably using it before the patent was granted instead of patenting vaporware and trying to delay the process long enough till invention becomes viable.
Can i buy a fedora cd, make a bunch of code changes. Then resell the orginal copy along with burned copy of just the binary with my changes? My right under first sale doctrine. GPL adds restrictions and forbids that.
By default you cannot do *anything* with a copyrighted work but hang the media it came on onto your living room wall.
Wrong. I can sell used dvds, games, music cds and software cds all protected under the first sale copy right doctrine. I can even modify, as proved with the guys who were selling modifed dvds that removed non family content from them. GPL can't get around the first sale doctrine and will be proved invalid. Much like i can buy a book, rip out a few pages and resell it and not be in violation of the copyright laws. I can buy red hat cd, burn a copy with my changes and sell both the red hat cd and burnt copy. Only way copyright infringement can prevent this is if the cd implement DRM so it falls under the DMCA. First Sale is my right to modify and/or resell and it will lead to downfall of the GPL which tries infringe on this right.
Here's a question. What if company takes your project improves greatly on it by assigning a group of programmers on it, and uses it for their core infrastructure and never releases the source code? One project i've seen working at other in the telecom field is people taking an open source SIP stack and improving greatly on it for foundation of their company voip network. Mainly because commercial stacks can cost upwards of a million dollars and OSS stacks are almost there but need a little help to get them up to the reliabilty and featurewise of commercial stacks. Or google not releasing their code modifications to the linux OS that powers their datacenter machines. I've seen tons OSS modifed greatly but used internally.
Most gpl violation posted on slashdot i see are very petty, someone company used some guys network project. When the code finally came out, there were no improvements. And when GPL projects do get improvements, like Apple's safari use of konquer code. There's no documentation making the code worthless. GPL also snares innocents. If I sell my personal computer which has bunch of OSS applications installed, i would be forced to remove the applications in order not violate the redistribution part of the GPL license agreement or allow away for other people to get the project. GPL license agreement tries to remove some of our first sale rights with its redistribution section. If I sell my purhcased redhat cd, under the agreement i'm in violation of the GPL without allowing away for other people to get the source. GPL is so flawed, which is how mysql ab makes their money.
When you talk about Freedom, the BSD license is always going to come out second to the GPL (and even third to the LGPL) because it allows (and in most cases, encourages) abuse without any penalty. Most companies are scared of the GPL (and as well they should be) because they know it has teeth.
How is that less freedom? Thats more freedom for people who use the project. You may not like what people are doing to your work, but that isn't less freedom. Thats like saying public domain is the lowest on the freedom scale. Demanding contribution back from something you give away does not equal free. Instead of a monetary fee, you're expecting something else in return. When I write articles about fishing on other websites web forums, i don't mind people taking my work, change it or do whatever too it. When I write code snippets for the asp.net forums, i write it to help people out and too contribute. I don't expect people who use the snippets to contribute back. I would be happy if they did but i don't expect it. Thats were GPL fails the freedom test. Worrying about some company making money off your work shows some selfishness. Its kinda like when my grandmother gave away her old violin to the public school system music program, only to find out that it was a collectors item and worth $25k. And getting pissed over it.
