Although I would hope that any local documentation store (offline copy of a wiki, for example) would be formatted in such a way as to be viewable from same lynx or elinks. This shouldn't be too hard, I know twiki can be using the print preview site template, I'm not sure about MediaWiki.
And mplayer/vlc/etc. have supported the quicktime and MP4 containers for some time, so the newer Quicktime movies are actually "more supported", it's the older propietary ones that people were missing. XD
ImageMagick will let you quick convert raw files to PNG or whatnot by specifying the width/height/pixel format/depth as options. You can have it process a whole folder if you want.
GIMP likes tagged formats. I recall there being a RAW import method in the 1.xx series but it looks like they got rid of it.
First of all, SOAP _is_ XML RPC. And AJAX is SOAP launched from a web client by javascript (as opposed to a piece of middleware).
Everything you're talking about is using XML and the web CGI model for transactions. This technology exists in MULTITUDE other forms. Let me see, uh, RMI, CORBA, ringing any bells? How about jabber? If I scripted interaction with a jabber client using Lua for driving voice/text prompt tree navigation or something, would we make some new acronyms for that?
What you're talking about is still client/server, but dealing with application platforms and interpreted code (specifically using web servers for arbitrartion, since everyone seems to like those, and they can be the basis for some nice frameworks).
I don't think it needs a new name. We've been doing it all along, but we were programming to APIs. Now we create platform independant artifacts that depend on other software to act as an interface, providing a runtime (although at times I wish javascript had a JIT compiler too). You are simplfying the distribution aspect of your software product... if you get can to the website, then you can start using it, oh and please enter your credit card number here.
No. No DNS lookup you'll ever do will recurse all the way to a root server, or even your local mirror (you do know that root-servers.net has many subdomains and mirrors in your region, right?) Your ISP's DNS server will be pulling updates from gtld-domain.XX.YY, referenced from it's root-server.net mirror, to populate its cache for XX.YY domains. Most ISPs are configued to seldom recurse on lookup miss, instead to simply allow the normal replication to occur and to do batch transfers from authoritative sources at non-peak times.
For recently accessed domains, no UDP DNS packet would ever leave your ISP's or even your office/school's network. That's how its supposed to work.
XBox -> XBox 360 UltraSPARC IIIi -> Dual Xeon MP (Prestonia, 1.67Ghz,.13u, HT enabled)
If you want to compare processors in terms of the "new configurations" in terms of 386, that's the best I could come up with. Since PS2/XBox are switching architectures to PPC (like the GC/Wii), they all end up as i386ISA, but they come from something else (equivalent power in a different chipset line)
We are precisely speaking about domain names, specifically the role of ICANN. And there is no way in hell you could set up an Internet court. There are too many flavors of law to cover and too many non-internet specific laws and issues in play; you might as well have a global court system. And that DEFINITELY isn't happening.
You know, it'd be trivial to set up a parallel set of root DNSs if the UN believes that ICANN can't be relied upon. Look at OpenNIC... and that's supported by donations.
by all means, run it in a country where the offending party does not have a presence. The US can't stop allofmp3.ru, for example. They try to pressure credit card companies into not supporting them, but they can't block access to it.
So what the hell are you talking about? How will that be any different if the UN had control?
A company in California can sue anybody for any reason no matter who is in control of domain names on the internet. Of course, you have the right to countersue (and/or in California, receive SLAPP compensation) for such a frivolous lawsuit.
Who gets to control how.coms are handed out has next to nothing to do with anything about who sues you for content on your website.
Your ISPs are going to cache the MX records in your respective countries. That email will never cause a single packet to cross an ocean (let alone outside the respective countries and intervening territory). You fail at internet. Please turn in your license.
Would you be willing to exclude the following countries from having any say about internet governance (since they seem to be unable to play nice in that regard): Turkey Greece China Germany UAE (a bunch of southeast asian, south american and african countries I can't remember which are most egregious)
Basically we're talking about the G8... minus China. That's not the UN.
I remember seeing this stuff even as far back as '98 when I first starting using high speed internet through school. USENET and the early file trading networks for chock full of propietary encoded formats that would install 1-900 number dialing VFW filters if you tried to get them to work.
1) CoreData is open source (well, maybe not what's in Tiger specifically, but EOF is, as are the storage backends). 2) CoreImage has no equivalent. Although I would argue CoreImage is an API and scene manager, not a specific technology. The technologies are Quartz and QuartzExtreme (and ultimately OpenGL). GEGL, libart and Compviz are implementing non-overlapping subsets of what CoreImage provides, each with different purposes. 3) CoreAudio? I think jack and lapsda on top of alsa pretty much cover that. What's missing is support for more plugin types demanding more complicated controls (UI framework is not covered), so you don't get nice looking VST interfaces or anything.
In particular I am glad that Wikipedia serves to organize and store content on the business and products of various corporations. In particular its corporate histories are very informative and help me understand the complex relationship between entites that now largely shape our lives. No other reference has as much (supposedly) neutral information collected in one place. It makes me feel like less of a cog in a machine now that I can understand the beast.
Many encyclopedias would scoff at the idea of creating an article dedicated to Viacom, the now-gone DEC, or Six Apart. But Wikipedia has wealths of such information, and it is invaluable for this reason.
But there is no way you can take on an, say an APC, full of soldiers with automatic weapons and body armor, without anti-personnel explosive or chemical weapons. Or fortifications. Trying to arm yourself against the government is an excercise in futility and can only lead to people looking at you kinda funny in the street.
Better find a plot of BLM property and build a bunker and a moat.
Plus, during a home invasion, you have a higher chance of you or a family member getting shot in cross-fire, or due to an assailant obtaining one of the many weapons from its storage location or an overpowered family member.
Now, if you need to do something fancy with XML (like, apply a transformation, or build/test an XPath expression) and you don't have much experience with it, I can see the value of XML Spy. But for writing an XML document with a schema that I'm familiar with? I'd rather use Programmer's Notepad or something.
I like nano and vim in Unix, as well as gEdit. (Really, gEdit is nice for a GUI editor, you should try it).
That's rich. Feng Shui has nothing to do with aesthetics. It's hit or miss whether it can achieve that goal or not. It certainly doesn't specifically try to optimize anything that we can identify as being aesthetically pleasing or not; part of that might be in the interpretation of the "sacred rules" through the eyes of what amounts to be an interior designer. It's his or her aesthetic sense coming out (which is probably going to be shitty since he or she can't cut it as the real thing) and they couch it in Feng Shui or Vastu or whatever Eastern crap to justify their decisions.
It has more to do with concepts like Xen 3+ or VMWare ESX server, specifically.
On your hardware assisted virtual machines, your guest OSs run "native", in that you can give them access to actual hardware and they directly manipulate page tables. A hypervisor makes it possible for more than one guest (with an associated group of tasks, GDTs and LDTs, etc.) can feel like they have the whole box. You can emulate hardware that you can't or won't dedicate to each guest (say a common network interface, iSCSI volumes that look like IDE drives, etc.)
What Blue Pill does is carry its own tiny hypervisor, and if the guest is running "normally" on the system, it can assert the hypervisor role and do so in such a fashion that the OS still has access to everything, and notices nothing.
Yet the hypervisor could set breakpoints, change memory behind its back, etc. without the host (now guest) knowing any different.
Of course, if you are ALREADY running a proper hypervisor on a hardware-VM capable system, then Blue Pill won't work.
So the answer is: play with Xen more. Learn about other hypervisors. And don't deploy anything critical on a hardware-vm capable box without a simple hypervisor already in place.
How the malware instruments the system is to place traps in code paths of the guest system. So the hypervisor could temporarily take control during a TCP/IP queuing operation and copy buffers into it's own personal private area... and it could leak that information out later (replacing "leaky" outbound backets, say DNS or ARP, with this key information before they get checksummed).
You could detect this using timing tests, but it's not reliable. You need a good "before" profile which may be impossible to obtain if you don't know when you got hacked.
Of course, one thing she doesn't mention is that none of this matters if the hacked system is already a guest. I wouldn't deploy anything on a Pacifica or Vandermode-enabled platform without making sure some hypervisor is in place before my "primary" OS install.

Big assumption to make in an OS. Better to have local documentation that is thorough.
