Once Apache finishes and gets their clean room java runtime engine up and going, I could give two shits less what happens to Sun. They can go under for all I care. Once there is an open source JRE out there, using java wont matter one bit from a I-hate-proprietary-stuff standpoint. In fact, I'd expect to see java usage go up if there is an open source JRE.
Maybe what some of these so-called legislators could do is introduce a bill to nullify all the provisions of the RealID act before it even consumes state government time and money. Like this week. That would rock. Though I doubt it would happen, with the pussies on the left and the fearmongering right, this shitty idea will start to waste tax dollars in a state near you very soon.
Exactly what I need it for, an at-home-office. I want some of the things a PBX can offer, but I only need one phone line for voice, and I dont want to pay for a second line for incoming faxes if I dont have to...
And I thought I was pretty knowledgable about technology.
Do most people need a PBX at home? Hell, I'd be happy if I could get something that did Fax to PDF and voicemail while sitting between the incoming analog telephone line and my (inside the house) telephone network. Do I need a computer and all this crap for that?
Granted it would be a memorable experience, having one aircraft engine die in flight (on any large commercial aircraft - boeing, etc), you'd still be able to make it back and land. Its more or less required that you can have an engine fail and still be able to fly and make it to land safely.
As long as the auto industry doesnt follow. There was a big deal over the use of car makers to provide info to third parties for the onboard electronics. I dont know what the status is now, I heard a while ago that the information is disorganized and hard to utilize. Auto dealers love it because it forces you to use their facilities at highly marked up prices, and puts 3rd party auto mechanics into a corner.
I dont know if it'll get done that quick (by July 1), there are lots of more pressing issues for congress to take. And I'm thinking that the MPAA spent most of their political capital for the year on getting people who videotape movies in theaters and those who share pre-release stuff thrown in jail for longer than those who beat their spouse...
And in the mean time, it gives us ample time to start to build a QAM256 stream capture device...
Its only multiplier locked upward. You can however, turn the multiplier down. Which is actually really nice because of all the advances in DDR1-500MHz and faster RAM. You can take a 2GHz A64, and instead of running it at 10x200, you can run it at 8x250 (or something like that) and for the same clock speed (2000MHz) you get better performance (more memory bandwidth).
Shit. I should have paid more attention. Normally cool shit like this never comes to vegas. Its all LA, NYC, Chicago, ATL, somewhere in texas, SF, etc.
We've been trying to hire good engineers for 12 months in Seattle
Get out of Seattle. There are plenty of other places in the US where engineers are that dont have jobs. I'd suspect that in the NW and around SiValley there is some shortage of qualified talent, but I know plenty of underemployeed geeks in the desert southwest (NV, AZ, SW Utah, NM).
Since the RIAA != A local, state or federal law enforcement agency, the RIAA has no legal ground to demand student information. They need to go to court just like every other person or corporation in this country.
to go daddy last month without a problem. I had to turn off their anti-hijacking feature in three places but thats it. Plus, I was sick of paying $35/yr per domain. Go daddy is a little harder to use (trying to figure out how to use their DNS servers could have been a little easier). I signed up with netsol back in the day because they had coupons and deals, 50%, etc, which made it $17.50/yr, but I havent seen any deals in the past 18 months so I decided to switch to go daddy and go with the cheaper domain registrar.
"I was frustrated that I was hearing from a friend that my e-mail account was sending her things,"
Spam can come from anyone - its not too hard to forge the "FROM" line on an email. I'd hardly call it abuse of your account when spammers do it all the time.
Someone could argue the Attorney General of the United States should be the best qualified lawyer available, but it is always political. Where is the line when you stop making a decision based on party affiliation?? Should it stop with the Department of Homeland Security?
One can inject partisan politics into the law (read it in different ways, etc).
How do you inject partisan politics into modulation techniques and voltage signaling levels? Partisan politics has no place in engineering.
America needs to pick the most qualified, most brilliant engineers it can to represent at these meetings. You can be the most qualified person in the nation on telecom, but if you supported Kerry, you dont belong according to the WH. It not even like this group manages aid or something, they fucking design specifications.
Politics is beyond ugly, its now officially fugly.

With the white wanna-be-industrial design that the iPods have. And like always, they rip it off and make it worse, instead of making it better.

Damnit.
I thought it was septuple A, the Austro-Afro-Antarctico-AmerAsian Auto Association? (oblig futurama ref.)
As it is, Tiger Direct [tigerdirect.com] is a computer hardware reseller
As it is, they're a shitty one at that. Look up the BBB records for Tiger Direct, or look in the thread from yesterday. Its pretty bad.
Its like reading an anti-MS thread with a pro-MS advertisement below the story....
I know a bunch of people have complained on message boards around the net regrarding their Mail-In-Rebates (or lack thereof).
The first comment I've seen in a while that deserves more than +5.

Yea for logic and reasoning in the legal system!
I did the exact same thing last month. I moved my two domain names from register to go daddy.
GoDaddy has DNS, you have to use their parked servers, and then edit the domain and go to the "Total DNS Control" applet.
Make sure at register you turn off anti-hijacking features for all of your domains, and additionally, each individual domain.
It should take about a week to transfer the names over (5 business days).

Actually I heard (unreliable) rumors that the new Core* items can be compiled and run on x86 chips with little or no modification.
