  1. In fact, you got this wrong ... on France National Library Attacks Google Book Effort · · Score: 1

    Read the summary carefully (or read the article if you can read french).
    Jean-Noël Jeanneney NEVER critized Google for its work. He says that, as one OS or one browser is evil, one digital library (especially in one langage/culture) is evil too.
    So, his point is not to prevent Google from doing what it wants but to encourage other initiative to emerge, especially in European countries.

  3. Re:For the short attention span people on SUSE Awarded EAL4 Certification · · Score: 4, Informative

    Copy/paste from the link under EAL4 :
    "The evaluation levels are ordered hierarchically in increments beginning from EAL1 to EAL7, with each level requiring a more advanced and intense means of testing. To date, EAL4 is the highest level certification awarded to any security product in the market."

    because the MBA's know that if they can save enough money, they'll be able to buy a nuclear shellter and fill it with canned fresh air and canned fresh food before it disappears.
    They are calling it preparing the future of our childrens.

    Moderated as OffTopic ? I'm just pointing out that you should not base your analyse on the agency name. East Germany was called "German Democratic Republic".
    And CIA (not FBI) is far from intelligent.

  10. Re:The other way around : networking is the produc on Cisco Evolving Into A Security Company · · Score: 1

    I do agree : security is not a final purpose. But it is needed in many products and sometimes to be efficient, must span accross many of them.
    But security is not a target, communication/work/processing is.

    Or security is a network battefield.
    You don't 'sell' security : security for security is useless. Networking is something you sell and it needs security.

  15. Re:MS.. on Should Dual Cores Require Dual Licenses? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Because MS can loose customers and not Oracle.

    Switching costs for desktop task are cheaper than for database processing. I work in corporate banking and a single application for a single banking business line contains a zillion lines of code of PL/SQL. If all I have to do to switch is forming my users to OpenOffice, the price of dual license for Windows will make switching to Linux VERY interesting.
    But if I need to migrate ALL my softwares AND data in another database (if a database company who does not charge per core but per CPU ever exists), I won't be happy but I will have to pay.

  20. Not just for Internet Access ... on Australia Gets 8Mbit/s Broadband now, 20Mbit Soon · · Score: 0

    in France, we have switched to ADSL2+ last november and had uncapped ADSL connection for at least 1.5 year now.
    Yes 6Mbps (at that time) is truly way above what the net can provide you, even using P2P networks (I managed once to DL debian ISO @ 600kBps).
    But the TRUE meaning of the oversized connection is for added value services :
    - internet access
    - phone (1 or more lines)
    - TV over DSL with :
    * video on demand
    * TVHD

    French currently most active ISP (http://www.free.fr) can provide up to 16 000 channels thru its network, reaching 500k customers.

    For TV ovr DSL, there is no data travelling on the internet because the video feeds are dispatched only to the DSLAM and there multicasted to the client. Only the currently viewed channel is feeded to the client.
