Our Mail Servers don't use DK/DKIM and have no problem sending tens of thousands of messages an hour to the Big 5. But then again, we have setup Loopback/Feedback with the Big 5 and are Whitelisted with them. All it takes is having your ABUSE@ accounts operational (and monitored) and filling out a single Web Form for each. It's not Rocket Science, and it is far easier to do than to setup DKIM for thousands of domains.
It definitely helps, but I've been involved in operations which were responsible for sending out newsletters for major brands (think Apple, Nike, etc.) and despite DKIM, SPF, ISP whitelisting, and signing up for their feedback loops, there are occasionally still issues. Especially where you could be delivering sometimes several million an hour at peak times, with the majority being to the big providers. Exceed a certain complaint threshold and an entire/24 can be jeopardized. Some people "report spam" for things they no longer want, rather than just for the "grow your wand" type emails.
When I saw the original announcement of this program, I was skeptical of what it was actually for. However, I didn't see this type of angle coming! LOL, wow!
Few would have guessed that there was an angel coming.:)
I found that last part a little out of place, but then that's their site, so let them post whatever testimonial they want.
It's their site and their right, but in general using a technical discussion to shoehorn in religious promotion is considered bad form, to put it mildly.
Why do we need 3D subtitles? What good could possibly come of this?
When everything else is in 3D, having subtitles in 2D puts them at the furthest effective focal distance. 3D subtitles doesn't necessarily mean that all subtitles are on an angle with depth and drop shadows... it could be used only as a means to control where they appear on the Z axis.
A character in the foreground could have their subtitle float in the foreground for example. When you see "[music playing]" as a subtitle, it could be positioned at the same focal distance as that piano player in the back of the room. When the bird on a branch chirps right in your face, the subtitle is in your face too. Would be really cool for an action comic kind of "biff" "pow" subtitles without baking them into the video frame.
You're right. Given that the article involves no logic whatsoever for that statement, it can't be ad hominem since that would imply an error in reaching a logical conclusion. Questions of whether "hominem" applies to corporations being another matter, of course.
Part of the problem with IT is that "keeping your skills ahead of the curve" becomes a big source of time stress in its own right. I don't get paid extra when I spend my evenings and weekends doing online tutorials or reading configuration manuals for a recently released version of $SOFTWARE_APPLICATION. But if I fail to do those things, I risk falling "behind the curve" and losing my employment.
Your problem is that you haven't negotiated for your employer to pay for your training. I know people working at tech companies who have gone on two week courses, everything fully paid for by their employers. No wonder you can't keep up with the latest in the industry since your place of employment expects you to improve yourself to benefit the company, at the expense of your own personal time and money. Stop doing that.
I think the article started off heavily biased against Apple already. It plainly states: "app stores created by Apple and its ilk". Seriously?! Is someone at Mozilla so jealous that Apple has developed a profitable business model that they have to resort to ad hominem attacks?
I don't have DomainKeys set up, and I've never had any difficulty getting mail to users of any of those services.
Does your mail server deliver tens of thousands of messages per hour to those services? If you're talking about the occasional email, you're probably not hitting the threshold at which your delivery will be affected.
The guy did a great job with the special effects, but story wise - meh. Golloywierd will throw in some hot chick in short shorts and lots of cleavage and it'll make a few hundred million.
I thought it showed a lot of potential when the robots hunkered down and shielded themselves. Rather than subsequently explode, that could have made an interesting "WTF are they doing?" plot point which could have been expanded upon. I don't have any unique ideas in this regards, but things that have been done before would include "only certain people allowed in", "Earth preservation for your own good", and so on. As soon as it exploded though, yeah... definitely a meh story. They could have nuked it from orbit, just to be sure.
But hey... cast Milla Jovovich and I might go see it.:)
Codex is the plural of 'codec'. It could also be stated 'codecs'. It's an abbreviation of COmpressor/DECompressor, in the plural.
Saying "Comcast uses codex compression" without specifying any particular type of compression/decompression is rather awkward. "Comcast uses compression" is no less accurate, unless you specifically wanted to distinguish the type of compression that uses a compressor/decompressor from the type of compression that doesn't, if that's even possible.
Besides which, I don't believe you that codex is the plural of codec.
And, Fedora's designers have assumed that its users are wiser than the general run of users. 'For example, in earlier versions, ordinary (non-admin) users could install software on Fedora without access to the root password.
So according to this "logic", Microsoft assumes that its users are wiser than the general run of users too? Nice way to spin Fedora finally addressing this security issue, dude.

The preceding conversation occurred prior to that research being conducted, so obviously the octopus guards were not privy to the details concerning Great White migration patterns.
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: Halt! Who goes there?
PULPO: It is I, Pulpo, son of Leggus Tentaclus, from the castle
of Cephalot. King of the Invertebrates, defeator of the Squid, sovereign
of all the Ocean!
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: Pull the other one!
PULPO: I am. And this my trusty servant Sucksy.
We have ridden the length and breadth of the ocean floor in search of invertebrates
who will join me in my court of Cephalot. I must speak with your lord
and master.
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: What, ridden on a horse?
PULPO: Yes!
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: You're using coconuts!
PULPO: What?
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin'
'em together.
PULPO: So? We have ridden since the Titanic sunk onto this
land, through the kingdom of Laurentian, through--
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: Where'd you get the coconut?
PULPO: We found them.
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: Found them? In the Laurentian Abyss? The coconut's tropical!
PULPO: What do you mean?
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: Well, this is a temperate zone.
PULPO: The dolphin may swim south with the sun or the humpback whale may seek
warmer climes in winter yet these are not strangers to our land.
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
PULPO: Not at all, they could be carried.
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: What -- a dolphin carrying a coconut?
PULPO: It could grip it by the husk using its blowhole!
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple
question of grasping ability! A dolphin has no means to carry a 1 pound
coconut.
PULPO: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master
that Pulpo from the Court of Cephalot is here.
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: Listen, in order to maintain the ability to breathe,
a dolphin needs to keep its blowhole free from obstruction, right?
PULPO: Please!
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: Am I right?
PULPO: I'm not interested!
OCTOPUS GUARD #2: It could be carried by a Great White shark!
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: Oh, yeah, a Great White shark maybe, but not a dolphin,
that's my point.
OCTOPUS GUARD #2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that...
PULPO: Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Cephalot?!
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: But then of course Great White sharks are not migratory.
OCTOPUS GUARD #2: Oh, yeah...
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: So they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway...
[clop clop]
OCTOPUS GUARD #2: Wait a minute -- supposing two dolphins carried it together?
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: No, they'd have to have it on a line.
OCTOPUS GUARD #2: Well, simple! They'd just use the stipe of a bull whip kelp!
OCTOPUS GUARD #1: What, tied to the dorsal fins?
OCTOPUS GUARD #2: Well, why not?
One of the most important lessons to learn from this requirement is that there is a one year period after the first pbulic [sic] dislcosure or offer for sale of an invention during which a patent application must be filed. [...] Although the United States grants the one year grace period described in the last two rules above, most other countries do not grant such a period.
I'm pretty sure we're talking passive sensors here, so it's not going to be "bathing the cosmos with infrared light" as much as it's going to be bathing in the infrared light of the cosmos.
Technically, it will retain residual heat from Earth, and as it emits that extremely weak infrared radiation, the universe will be eventually bathed in it. Now that reminds me of the time my family had a large pepperoni pizza with luscious ripe tomato sauce, delicious mozzarella cheese, and freshly made pepperoni that was so hot you could practically get a suntan just putting your face near it.

As a teen I read lots of sci-fi, but then I grew up.
Thanks for clarifying that you are able to age. I was wondering whether or not to rule out this syndrome.

If you have a decent 8" reflecting scope here on Earth, you can easily observe that Titan looks like a rusty sheriff's badge.
Aren't sheriff's badges typically the same color as a trombone?

They finally received a brown-eyed wink from Titan.

"What's a metric?" sounds like "What's symmetric?"

A sphere.

But 30,000 errors in the DNA doesn't mean those cells were exposed to 30,000 mutating events (the 1 for every 15 cigarettes or whatever).
Enough of your logic. You're upsetting the smokers who want to believe that as long as they smoke less than 450,000 cigarettes they won't get cancer.

then the 17 years of protection by the patents is pretty much over.
Don't worry. They've taken that into account and will now only pretty much sue the pants off those companies.
And if they published this information before they filed the patent then it's now in public domain anyways.
In some jurisdictions. From BitLaw:

I'll prefer to post while alive, thank you.
Someone who replied to me sig and understands it. Hath hell frozen over? Doth swine levitate?
So it's Tribes circa 1998?
the ability to launch flying sentries.
Oh, excuse me, Tribes with the Shifter v1 mod.
(That actually also describes Battlefield 2142 and probably a dozen other games.)
Must be, because obviously Killzone 2 is simply a clone of Tribes with no unique gameplay or features.
I didn't play Killzone 2. What made it so good?
See my other post. You should play it. It just feels right. Everything's fluid and natural.
