I love the Ipaq. It's a sexy little device, and for some extra dough, you can get a wireless modem (CDPD). You throw an ICA client on there, and you suddenly have access to any app on your Citrix server. I
I'm working for a new company since that slashdot poll. It brightened my day to see that I'm no longer a workaholich, now I just need to work on my drinking issue... and my spelling...
I have a question... Who enforces violations to the GPL? I would imagine that it would be costly to prosecute a company like Sony, as I'm sure they have LOTS of lawyers. How are the GPL lawyers paid?
I have no problem filtering spam, but it's still a hassle. There's never going to be filters/rules that will catch all spam. It's also a pain for ISPs, who have to help a customer out, because someone is relaying 10,000 messages off their smtp server.
As for advertising new site, why not pay for banner adds on a high traffic site? I have no problem with that, and often click through if I think they're interesting. I'm not sure of the actual stats, but I would bet a paycheck that tech companies who advertise on Slashdot, or Cnet get a much higher return that spammers who send 8 million messages out.
This is pretty neat. It's sad though, that things have had to come to this point on the net, but it's nice to think that one day there won't be any spam...
AT&T if you're reading this. I for one will drop your service if you do this. I will also drop my long distance, and cell phone service that you provide. I'm sure I'm not the only one who will do this.
If you follow the throught process that the Music Companies, and Movie Studios are using, then where is the line drawn? You try to hold the coder accountable for the program. What if that program used C, or Perl libraries? What about Ping? Why didn't yahoo sue the person who wrote Ping, if it wasn't for that coder, they wouldn't have been down at all. When someone uses software to do something illegal, they are responsible. This isn't a new thought folks!
I've found myself asking the same question. How much info do you really need to log? Unfortunately, many ISP's never even think about this, until something bad happens. Right now, I make sure that basic routing info getts logged, and anything that is blocked via our access lists.
Having worked with both of the major DSL carriers, and with all of the Bells on the East, I can say that this is a real problem. Bell Atlantic has a 3 day window to just begin working on a DSL line if there are problems with it! That's 3 full days, not to mention the fact that it is often on day 2 or 3 of customer (you) downtime that the order would even reach bell! That means you are probably going to be down for a week.
I some of my conversations with Covad employees, i've had them ask me, what problems I encountered with their service, maybe we should get a list of the issues, with people's names, and present it to them. They aren't totally to blame though.....
Bell Atlantic originally signed an agreement saying that they would deliver lines to a length of 45,000 ft. They turned around and then told Covad, that they would only deliver lines to 18,000 ft, because they didn't want to pay for the repeaters in the lines! They had already signed an agreement, and now they decided they wouldn't go through with it.
I think that we should begin some forum, so people can begin listing their problems for everyone to see. I would also like to see things that people did, that helped whenever they ran into problems. I would be willing to get a website going, if anyone is interested.
I should have been a little clearer. With the small size of the chip (yeah, they showed it without the heatsink), and the small power consumption, it would have many advantages to running multiple Intels.
I agree, there is still alot that we don't currently know about the brain. Also, how do they test the operating system or software that this "copied brian" will be running on without killing one of these copies? Would it be considered murder?
I would have to say that Citrix does have some flaws, but for the most part it's a great product. I would have to disagree that it's a shrinking market. If anything it's getting bigger. They have many features that Microshaft has been unable to come close too with their RDP protocol.
Gimp does do a good job. I'm not a graphics guy, but Gimp does do a good job. From my experience with Photoshop, I'd say that I prefer Gimp. It loads faster, it free, and best of all it runs on my favorite OS. Sure, they still have some work to do on it, but it's definitely a worthy opponent for Photoshop.

OK Rant over...

Cisco ROCKS!!!!

Can they give this technology to Guinness? That way, I don't have to leave my computer to get another beer every ten minutes!

Does anyone know if you can have two of these babies in a machine?

Do they have beer in the office on Fridays?

Do you think anyone will send him a free PC after the 3 years? That would be great publicity...
