Ska is brilliant, it's got such energy. I've been predicting the 2nd Ska revival for over a decade now but it hasn't happened (or did I miss it?). As a black fella it was quite a laugh bopping around with the skinheads in the 80s, - I made my way home pretty sharpish at the end though:) I think the states had a mini revival in recent years?
In the end the average Joe Sixpack buys what he finds familiar. He doesn't make buying decisions based on facts or critical thinking or anything related to clear, precise, logical thought. Kinda scary when you think about it.
Unfortunately Technical people will not believe marketing/PR oriented comments, who often use technical terms inprecisely.
They will only understand and trust a precise technical description of the system,
something which Phorm may, understandably, be reluctant to give for IP/Business reasons.
What does "no personal data is stored" mean. Is data stored or not? Is it anonymized in the same way as the AOL Seach scandal was anonymized?
Will there be cross-pollination of adverts amongst users
sharing the same account - I can answer that for you - Yes.
BTW: "adrenaline" is a brand name for one particular company's epinephrine. It is not a chemical name. Calling ephinephrine "adrenaline" is like calling all automobiles "toyotas"
HTML email is the most evil and worst thing ever created in the world, and outlook gladly let's you abuse the damn feature.
A lot of companies are now enforcing HTML signatures in their emails which try to grab some image from some remote site. And they say "Think - Do you really want to print this email", like, who still prints emails (OK I may regret asking that)
Specifically "rings of Steel" are narrowed roads around "The City Of London" (referring to the Old City wich is about ONE square mile of likely terrorist targets), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:LondonCity.png (see red bit)
I think the police eyeball for vehicles carrying unusually heavy loads (suspension?) + a bit of security theatre.
We have Freeways (Motorways (70mph), & dual Carriage Ways) over here in and around London too. They just dont extend into the central square mile (The old city). I hazard a guess that you also dont have freeways and cargo-trains running through most densly packed business centers in NYC ?
Maybe the sign should actually say "6ft wide max" rather than just "very narrow". Very narrow is just an invite for them to test their skills. And I'm guessing some truckers do know the dimensions of their trucks.
Not if the buyer perceives the two things to have different value.
eg suppose hypothetically, if they think Mandriva is worth $3 a seat and Windows is worth $10.
Then Microsoft said, hey We'll sell you windows for $1 IF you wipe Mandriva.
They get Windows for less than they originally bargained.
For scanning signatures AVG has a fairly low detection rate. (less than 90% IIRC)
AntiVir and Avast have higher detection rates (at least last year they did)
Surely a major part of what drives developers to work for no financial gain is being interested and motivated in what they are doing. Telling them to go an write something else they are not interested or grounded in, for sweet f/a??
For one machine I agree. But for 20 servers on a regular basis, then the Microsoft Philosophy is WMI,
which I suspect would put many typical Windows Administrators out of their depth... (programming,database,objects and all that)
However with SSH+Unix Shell, remote administration of many machines via repetitive actions is almost the same as for one machine.
And Remote Desktop Administration only scales up to a certain point for some tasks.
I'll admit I'd still rather spend 7 hours knocking out some WMI+vbscript than 3 hours flipping between msctl sessions.
But then, if you make a mistake in a script you tend to notice during testing and a script is self documenting.
Doing repeat manual actions in remote desktops can give rise to some weird and wonderful errors on your 11th server..
I dont think ssh(or lack of it) itself is the main issue. (esp with increasing numbers of VPNs etc)
Even with SSH I think the real requirement is to have a remote cli access to useful commands combined with a decent scripting language , especially when administering a lot of machines or doing repetitive tasks.
Now WMI+vbscript covers a LOT of that, from an administrative POV, the problem I have with WMI is that it is a different interface to the one you use normally to administer windows at the CLI.
For example, to change the metric on a particular route, on one server, I can fire up the DOS prompt, do a few route commands , maybe craft a 'find' command to pull out the exact route I'm interested in , and then alter the route.
If I had to do 100 servers, each slightly different, Assuming I dont want to install additional s/w on the servers I have two choices (I think):
1) using psexec and the limited functionality of.BAT scripting, means I might just about do this, with a horrid.BAT file that does all kinds of nasty things because of how crappy DOS scripting.
2) The correct way, using WMI+vbscript, but now I have to approach my task with a different mindset (selecting objects from tables etc), which is neat , but its different enough to slow me down whilst googling, "how do I use WMI to add a route" , etc. (coming from C/Perl/Java background - using vbscript is also a PITA but that's partly my fault, I have to keep deleting my end-of-line semi-colons)
With good remote access to a CLI that has half-decent programming constructs, then my solution for multiple servers is the same as for one server (more or less), and that is more efficient for me.

Just create a new user and run wine under that account.

All together now ... "Sell the sizzle,..." :)

Your average end users cant really make that decision. Thats the whole point of them *trusting* an AV product.

Isnt there an 'advert' tag or similar?
Beauty of English. consider "Microsoft's Treatment of female defectors"

Partaking of the liquor perhaps?
Still he's back on his feet now And even getting paid for motivational speeches.
Like "Blue Magic"..
