While Windows 2000 is adequate for my home computer to surf the web and read email (after proper precautions are taken) it is absolutely NOT adequate for flying an airplane. I am not worried about worms and viruses infected an airplane running Windows 2000 (and I'm not sure why it was mentioned in the article as it really isn't related) but I am worried about the stability of the OS and the implications it may have.
If win2k is used in airplanes today and there hasn't be any crashes or problems. Then it is suitable for airplanes. FAA would have a shit fit if computers were crashing on airplanes. Obviously they aren't.
And bluetooth for cars is for hands free cell operation. And if your concerned about having blue tooth in your car and getting tracked, you should be more concerned with cell phones that people carry everywhere. When on they are always broadcasting, eve if they don't have blue tooth.
"... but have the Speakeasy logo and feature a Speakeasy toolbar filled with links recommended by Speakeasy. "
By recommended, I'd assume sponsered links. But after checking they were actually legit links. I have seen other extensions that set their affliate codes, the last one i saw was the amazon search tool which tags all the search results with their affliate code.
How many people have divx or xvid installed? He already has 93%+ penetration using windows media. How many computer labs,libraries allow people to install codecs?
And hey, as long as you're using stuff from work, why not just take your printer home, too? They'll never miss it.
I guess you don't buy from Dell? I swear every order I make, they toss in a free printer. Now I have a storage room full of printers. I'd love to have employees take home a printer.
Why do people keep supporting apple? Look at their business ethics. They are known advertisers on spyware/adaware Networks. Which in my book is the equivalent of spammers. Only way these adaware/spyware and spammers stay in business is because of advertisers.
They sued a 19 year old kid for because he found out that Apple was releasing a $500 computer. Apple is also planning to go after some other fan sites aswell.
Seriously if this was any other company, we scream for their heads. It is time we finally hold apple accountable for their actions. I've stopped buying microsoft products long time ago, and now apple has made my list of companies i will not support.
How many project managers have the same skill level of the member on the team. Seriously, you expect a PM to be able to program as well as the developers, do the user interface as well as the graphic artists , write specs/document as well as the tech writers, set up test scripts as well as the test engineers? While having the skill set to filter the feature requests coming from Business Development or Marketing, so they can actually meet the deadling? Come on now.
The key about being a good manager is utilizing the talent on the team, its not about being better than members of your team. The analogy I hear a lot is a coach for a sports team. Having good talent on team doesn't necessarily mean you will have a good product. You need leadership and solid planning. If you leave good programmers by themselves with no leadership, all they want to do is refactor and make their code look like something out of the gang of 4 book or a martin fowler book. And it will be 2 years late.
Yawn. He's smart man with smart tax accountants. There's no way he'll ever payout half his money in taxes. He could easily setup a living trust or other tax shelters. Gates has even stated that he's only leaving his children up to $10 million a piece(if they graduate from college). His dad Gates SR, is big pusher of estate taxes.
Consumers suffer from hard decissions about which product to pick everyday. Many americans suffer from buyers remorse caused by these stressful decissions. Thank god the corporations have taken the forefront and stepped in to help remove these decissions for us. We should be thankful, no longer forced to search the net for reviews to which sports game to buy which leaves us with more time to enjoy with our family.
Not only do progressive and geico show up #1 and #2 in the natural results, they also bought adwords and have a bid that places them #1 and #2 in adwords.
Why does it need to be 64 bit? There's no software for 64 bit. The only reason why AMD64 runs so fast, is because they did a great job on the 32 side of things.
This is the exact same position the US was in when it began its rise and it is interesting to consider that the economic situation of the country could so outstrip the cultural components in this manner.
Proof? Oh wait this is slashdot.
Edison's 1000 patents. So when was the US championing freedom of IP?
There's one issue, TV and radio stations are licensed the frequency and must follow the rules defined for the license. If you want broadcast stuff that people may deem offense, there's always cable, sat radio, or sat tv. If FCC tries to regulate the content on those, is when you should be concerned.
Personally I'd like to see more regulations of public airwaves. These are for public interests, not commercial interests. Government should setup better standards for advertising on content designed for children. I can't believe how much crap they try to peddle to kids over public airwaves. There also should be better standards on how many commericals a tv can show. Its seems to me there's like 2 minutes of commercials for 5 minutes of content. And its increasing every year.
Melbourne IT were working within the policy of ICANN, whereby it is now acceptable for a domain to be transferred without the explicit approval of the original owner. This policy was recently changed - it originally only allowed domains to be transferred in ownership with an explicit APPROVAL from the original company. The policy is now such that if the original company does not respond to the request within 5 days, the company asking for transfer will by default have rights to the domain. Everyone who owns a domain effectively must monitor their whois e-mail address at least every 5 days in order to ensure they keep their domain.
Most registars have domain a locking feature which stops a domain from being transfered/contact information change/etc until its unlocked.
With the first version, you can convert it to any language out there with xslt. I know lot applications especially in the.net area are written in either vb or c#. And if you want to clip some code for your stuff, you have to run through a god awful converter or do it by hand.
Also with XML you can easily do AOP type post processing, say add synchronization to certain methods that match your XPATH query.
How are movies like blair witch project going to compete against pirated movies. Even if the screen is filmed by camcorder, it still gonna be the same quality as theather.
I have HDMI cable from the dvd player to the my tv. Cable was close to $100. I don't know any brick and mortar store that sells than less than what I payed. Tried BestBuy, Circuit City, Good Guys. Even their DVI cables are $50+. I love how retaillers rip off their customers. Only place to get cheap cables is online.
And even with a HDMI cable I don't see any improvement over DVI even though my dvd player is upsampling to 1080i. Also having sound over it is pretty useless in a home theater enviroment, I still have to run a tosh cable from my dvd player into my reciever. I guess it could be useful if the AV reciever had HDMI inputs, but that would still require 2 cables.
IE doesn't allow 3rd party cookies by default. So you don't have to worry about being tracked from site to site by banner ads. Though this don't apply for popup ads. To stop tracking cookies in firefox just disable 3rd party cookies.
Uh almost everything supports compression(GZIP). IE(90% of the market) and mozilla supports it by default and most big website support it including google and not mention there's apache module and IIS has compression enabled by default How can you break things with compression? Client sends that it can support compression(Accept-encoding: gzip), server responds with compression. Only thing that isn't compressed is the client request which is usually just under 1k of data unless of course your doing a post.
Because with compression all you get is a size drop. If you implement a decent binary format, you could also improve performance in XMLdom parsing and even validating against a schema. I know lot companies like Microsoft and IBM support compiling of xslts for performance, now if we can only do the same with standard format for xml.
Uhh.. What makes XML powerful standardized way of accessing an xml document like XMLDOM and using Xpath to get your information. Being able to view it in a text editor isn't what makes it powerful. Anyway, if you want to view it in a text editor, convert the binary back to text. Saving space and processing is a big advantage, but for webservices or xmlrpc, it won't save much since most webservers already have built in compression. There's also support for compression in WSE specifications.
I just hope it gets standardized with 1 format, I really hate how webservices got fragemented with the RPC and Document format.

Props for what? Not loading testing their backend before launching?
uhh $100 for a battery isn't cheap. Thats 1/4 the price of the PDA. Palm,pocketpc batteries are around $40. For $100 I can get a battery for a laptop.

Yeah lets support a company that advertises with adware. Might as well start buying stuff from spam too.
