Yes, if I search for flatscreen TV I'll quite probably click on ads offering flatscreen TVs*. Now, if I search for 555 datasheet, I probably won't click on any ad sayig things like "buy datasheets online". Google can know all that whithout looking what I do the rest of the time, so they must target for other kinds of ads.
So, there is, if I'm visiting a blog, it's quite useless to Google to know that I searched for flatscreen TVs last week**, I'm way more likely to click on an ad that relates to the blog somehow, so Google doesn't need to know what I do the rest of my time (or even who I am) again. The only explanation that makes sense is that Google somehow tries to guess what I'm looking for, and displays ads for that... I'd pay for a service like that, but they don't seem to do it. What is the deal?
* Or better, I would if Google didn't mess their links with useless Javascript that my browser can't work with. A few weeks ago I stopped following Google ads, and not because I wanted to. (They use that Javascript to follow me around, and offer better targeted ads. That's ironic.)
** If I clicked on an ad for flatscreen TV last week, I'm way less likely to click on one again than any random person. Are they using that knowledge to NOT show me an ad for flatscreen TV?
Yep, they've made a lot of usefull inventions. They also have a lot of doubtfull patents that they use to troll busines that don't use their inventions. They half-fit the definition...
I'll belive that when I hear a chinese (one that isn't out of country for decades) saying that China will rule the world for any reason but because they are a superior race or culture. China is quite deluded, even more so than the US. Half the world (ocident) is helping them getting even more deluded, and the other half (orient) is too afraid to help them cut any kind of delusion.
That doesn't mean, of course, that China isn't becoming a superpower. They may be, or may not, I don't know the future. Military, they already are...
Precisely because everybody, in this world and out need a patent agreement with IBM (that means giving them a percentage of your income, and free access to all of your patents) just because IBM has a generic patent that the Nazgul can convince a court that covers your work. On nearly on any high tech field, except from, maybe, software, where they don't seem to enforce that rule.
They are a patent troll, and a very sucessfull one.
Did you notice your examples are mainly aimed at developers? Now, about proprietary end user applications, we have mainly the MS line: Windows 7 is better than Vista, but still slower than XP, Office only gets slower; Adobe line: Acrobat reader is a classic of bloatness, Photoshop wasn't that bad the last time I saw it, but it wasn't this century; Nero: getting slower every time, ditto for the big antivirus suites; Browsers: all of them seem to be geting slower, except for Javascript, that is only aparent (they are slower because they are doing way more things), so, they are the exception; And that is pretty much it. Those applications are what most people use and see.
Yep, they have beeing saying that it was 2012 for years. But I disgress, I made a mistake replying with data I remembered, and not checking my sources. It seems somewhen recently (I remember that) the forecast crossed the barrier of 2012, being now december 2011. By the way, some 8 or 9 years ago, when I was studing that thing at my undergrad, it was forecasted to durate for more 20 years. Forecasters always get it wrong.
Also, the IPv6 was created with a migration path in mind. It is just that people didn't use it (yet?).
The term "open source" may have be deliberated crafted to appeal to the masses, but it is also undeliberately crafted in a flawed way, so that it could be interpred on two ways, and one of them is damaging to FOSS.
By the way, if you want to know what the damaging interpretation is, you just have to ask Microsoft.
IPv4 is expected to end by 2012 (people say the BSD developers were the first to read some mayan calendars), so expect stories to get way more common next year.
Well, expect internal networks to migrate to IPv6-only after they have an IPv6 address to migrate to, the sysadmins did all the testing, and something (like router or DNS) at the IPv4 net breaks. Or maybe, forget about that testing step.
Now, you had 10 years to migrate that IPv4 only application, like everybody else. Maybe it already works with IPv6 (Delphi 5, maybe, Firebird almost certanly, and BDE, I have no idea) maybe you should test it sometime. If not, I'm sure somebody will come with yet another baind-aid over it (like making it run on a virtual machine, with IPv4 connectivity that is translated by the host to IPv6) that will take more work to maintain than just replacing it for once. In short, don't despair, it'll be business as usual.
Your DHCP lease expires often, but you probably often gets the same addresss you were using before the lease expires. Also, the reasons your ISP has for making dynamic IPs avaliable won't go away with IPv6. It will still be chaper for them to not promisse you'll keep an IP for more than a short time, say a week, and it will still be chaper for them to not actualy change your IP address that often.
If you really want anonymity (what your definition of privacy stands for - somebody already said it's loony), you really should be looking at an anonymizing network.
The servers your mobile will connect to are the ones that will need a dual stack. The mobile won't be able to have one, but there are still some bilions of machines with IPv4 addresses out there. If you want your IPv4 device to talk VoIP or Torrent with a mobile, you'd better configure an IPv6 stack.
Also, the question on TFS is dumb. IPv6 devices will communicate with IPv6 devices (including the ones with a dual stack), and IPv4 devices will communicate with IPv4 devices (including the ones with a dual stack); you can bridge an IPv6 and an IPv4 device, if the IPv6 one starts the connection, and that is all. There is nothing else to be concerned about because there is nothing else you can do. If you fell sudenly out of the IPv6 world, just configure an IPv6 stack (and tunnel if your ISP is that bad).
That is one place we disagree. I think the combination of humans + machines will still be way more powerfull than just machines in 2 or 3 decades*. We'll have a chance to jump on it before we are completely outcompeted.
Anyway, some people jumped on the industrial (or scientific) revolution, outcompeting the ones who didn't. Ditto for the agriculture (or writting) revolution of the neolitics, and it probably happened some times before that.
* that is the timeframe moore's law say it will happen. I, personaly think it will be more like 3 to 4, semiconductors reaching some technical barriers nowadays. Well, unless something like nanoassemblers are created earlier, in what case, it could be any time from today on.
Well, often you avoid taking high security media into a low security environment. The reverse path just doesn't take the same amount of atention, that would make it hard to even aquire new media.
Of course, WTF kind of system just executes things in removable media? (Yep, I know the answer, yet, that doesn't make it right.)
Probably the centrifuges weren't connected to the ethernet. What was connected to the net was the computers where people developped the software that they put on the controllers. That is what the virus infect, and your PIC based solution would have the same problem.
That said, connecting the centrifuges to the net seems to be a great solution to contain the damage of such attacks (and of random bugs).
Also, if by "trying to create an AGI" you mean "improving computer fabrication"*, we can talk. But I somehow doubt that is ocurring inside a superpower.
* Using computers to improve computers. Looks like the beggining of a singularity, doesn't it? Happening since late 90's. Sometimes I think people think too much of the (next) Singularity.
"For businesses MS probably throws-in the Outlook free-of-charge as part of the overall package"
If the business buys Exchange and Office for all employees and computers (respectively), it will get Outlook as part of the deal. Hardly qualifies as free, since only the exchange licenses needed for making all that work will cost more than some MS Office package for the home that comes with Outlook included.
Or, at least that was the situation in 2007. I've never had to know their prices again.
Based on current rates of growth, it won't last until the heat death of the universe. But, for the required number of clients to come into reality, we'd have to be displaced through the biggest part of our galaxy, and IPv6 copes very badly with interestelar communication, so we'll need another protocol anyway.
That is because you didn't care to format shift the other books into the newer standards. If you kept an ebook collection at whatever media you find most usefull at each time, and shifted the collection every time you migrated to other storage technology, all of them would still be readable.
What, of course, reminds of all that DRM nonsense...
Slashdot Mirror
So, they are going for my third alternative. As I said, I'd even pay for it, but even google seems unable to do that job.
And remember to not ever step in the way of one of your masters.
Or just create an account with the name of the people that would put you there...
I don't get that "targeted ads" thing at all.
Yes, if I search for flatscreen TV I'll quite probably click on ads offering flatscreen TVs*.

Of all the books, they recalled 1984?!? That is nice, and sensible.
Me? I don't trust DRM, and won't give money to people offering me data they can recall.
Except that determinism doesn't require that the Universe must be simulated by a computer smaler than itself. What turn your proof moot.
Halloween Documents. And those were "leaked" by a court order, nothing alike.

You want the summary to explain what DNSSEC is? Do you also want the definition of the words "chicken" and "egg"?
