make me wonder why Apple isn't capitalizing on this and releasing the x86 version of X for generic x86 systems. A co-worker managed to get a leaked (older) version running on a Dell Inspiron with full functionality. They are losing a great opportunity to gain market share. (Linux fan myself though.)
Buying Cisco equipment (typically - and through proper purchase channels) gives you access to TAC (Technical Assistance Center), worldwide support 24x7 for network emergencies and problems, as well as extensive troubleshooting support. When you buy Cisco these days, that is what you are mostly paying for. Try getting that level of assistance from Netgear, Linksys (ironically owned by Cisco), DLink, etc... You really can't - as they do not put that level of resource behind their products.
>>>How could a database help?
Unlike shows like CSI, DNA results take time to process. Meanwhile, the suspect cannot be held by sheer whim, and many individuals who "may" be guilty, if released from custody pending results, will (and often does) flee. A database can confirm quickly enough that a suspect could potentially be charged and given due process immediately. Again, just playing devil's advocate. There are two sides to every contriversial issue.
... you pretty much give DNA samples for free anywhere you go in public... Hair loss, epithelials, urine, feces, etc.... If you go through customs and touch anything your already giving them a sample. This is more about a database that can assist in retrieving records to quickly assist those that need information with it.
DNA has also been used to clear individuals as well. In the case of the criminal justice system, many individuals (with criminal records) are cleared already due to DNA samples on hand not matching a particular case.
Blocking bittorrent causes the client to find other open ports (if you are using port-based blocking). As an ISP, by throttling it way back to almost nil, but keeping it as an established connection, you have a better chance at keeping bittorrent traffic from overcoming your own upstream/downstream connection to your provider.
Ummm... Thats called competition... If it can't survive.. it can't survive. Consumers should not be forced to subsidize programming that cannot survive on its own - it's called capitalism.... not socialism....
If the corrected US data doesn't indicate such a large statistical anomaly on a global basis, why are we blaming the US, US government, US Citizens for creating the massive global warming effect being reported? Sounds like we might be less of the cause then?
>>So, by the same token, murder is no worse than someone falling off a ladder.
From the dead person's point of view, you are correct. They are still dead - to them it doesn't matter how they died (presumably anyways, haven't really spoken to any spirits about this), their means of demise doesn't change this fact.
I agree. Once they enter the "Real" business world, they'll be using whatever communication method their employer chooses for them. Like it or not, much of the business world uses email for a large part of their communication infrastructure. That becomes even more important as converged services and unified messaging (voice, IM, Presence, etc...) become the norm. They may not drop their old methods however, when it comes to talking to their friends.
I'll start out by saying I'm middle class, not rich. It burns me up to hear cry-babies say there is enough wealth in the hands of billion/millionaires to handle things and to redistribute wealth. Many people who are wealthy spent most of their lives work extremely hard and being smart with their decisions. They are entitled to reap from what they sowed, just as anyone is. The Robin-Hood syndrome does not work in a country where you are free to make of yourself whatever you want. I grew up in middle class, did not have mommy and daddy pay for college (which I never really finished), joined the military for little pay, raised a family of five, got out and busted my hump studying independently to earn the pay I have. If I ever make it further up the pay scale, I'll be damned if I'm gonna let some cry-baby say "I deserve some of your pay, because I'm not willing to work as hard as you do to earn it." Take two jobs if you have to. Study night and day if you have to. I did.
It strikes me as ironic that the people who criticize other's right to obtain sustenance in isolated communities continue to glut themselves on the plenty in their modern massive communities (notice America's obesity rate) and have not walked a mile in the shoes of those trying to survive. I think your criticism would have more meaning if you spent a year or two living in one of those native Alaskan villages. Often shipped food is very expensive and since their is no real local economy to drive business, natives cannot afford the prices of groceries if it comes down to heating or electricity.
because as a Sr. Network Eng for an ISP with thousands of users I have oh so much time to devote to tracking down every website you visit. Please, even if packet sniffing and tcpdumps are used, most ISPs can't afford manpower for intensive tracking... Maybe the big ones, but medium to small...
This has potential for being a great marketing phrase for the Next-Gen Windows..... "Beyond Vista - Expand your horizons and imagine the possibilities..."
a total home multi-tainment center from the PS3? I'd like to see VOIP capability (with the ability to subscribe to any VOIP provider), Video-Conference capability (the same), possibly use external drive as DVR (with some sort of USB capture device), etc... I know the PS3 has the power to process the above, but will Sony support development of applications for the XMB to any tune of the above? There are just too many boxes in an entertainment center now. Certainly both Sony and the home user could benefit from the merge of the technologies.
Windows Experience rating was a 1.00 - I could not even run Aero on this laptop. 2.4ghz Pentium4M, 2 Gig Ram, 100gb Internal 2.5- 5400RPM HD, Nvidia 4200Go... Vista worked okay for most business apps (MS Office 2003, Lotus Notes, Etc...). Sucked up a lot in resources and annoying to have UAC pop up (until I shut it off). With FC6, I have NVidia's Linux Drivers loaded on gnome with Beryl as a desktop. I have a full rotating cube desktop w/transparency through the cube to the other side while rotating. Nice performance on the UI vs none on Vista. Score a plus one for the Eye Candy on linux. I have VMware Workstation (5) Loaded with WinXP SP2 running and 768MB of RAM carved for it. A base OS (Linux) rotating cube w/transparency and WinXP in Virtual Machine (which I can also make transparent on the desktop). All of this on a 4-year old laptop. And other than a base install of FC6 all I added was the Livna repository. Linux/Gnome/Beryl wins this one hands down.
that in 20-30 years ice this thick must have melted (as a result of global warming)... Puhlease.... It takes more than 20 years for ice this thick to melt to a shelving point... So either global warming has been going on long before previously thought or this shelving was not necessarily "caused" by global warming but rather than an ongoing process of many many years....
Oh please... Umm let's see, more advanced training techniques, dietary science has evolved, high tech monitoring for maximum workout efficiency, medical advances in treating sports injuries (or preventing them). Athletes today have far superior methods of becoming the best over those of 2 generations ago. Not every advance is evolution of the species, but can be evolution of technology/science.
and they are aware that at anytime I can audit their chat sessions. Do I do it every day? No - but I find that if I occasionally audit them most (not all) of the time they've kept things clean and on the up and up. Asking kids to follow boundries without accountability is an idle threat (be good or else!). When I've discovered they've been inappropriate - they lose 'net/cell phone access for a while and believe me - that can sting for a teenage girl...
