Even better with the SonyEricson t68i, you don't even have to push a button. the phone can listen for a magic word ("I wanna talk") then you can tell who you want to talk to!
I've been using Cisco IP phone for the past 2 years. Never had any problem with voice quality or lag. At one time we tested another IP Phone from some other company (don't remember which one). The phone was so bad that you had to wait 1 or 2 second when awsering the phone before talking because there was a delay for the microphone to be activated. The sound quality was also very bad.
Looks like the premium you pay for a Cisco phone is worth it (they are still overpriced IMHO).
we noticed a number of binaries in their firmware (including Zebra, PPP 2.4.1, and iptables to name three) that are released under the GPL, some of which are obviously modified
What he means by obviously modified? The file size is different? Maybe they just compiled it with different parameters!
If that so, their license is more restrictive than their distribution rights mandate.
If they distributed the stuff in the US first, they should NOT prevent you from exporting it wherever you want. They already distributed it in compliance with their agreement.
Just use taglibs (as suggested by the AC poster. Anyway, if you follow the spec when coding you JSP and/or servlets, then you should use encodeURL() to encode all URLs.
Here is a snippet from the Servlet API HttpServleResponse.encodeURL(String):
For robust session tracking, all URLs emitted by a servlet should be run through this method. Otherwise, URL rewriting cannot be used with browsers which do not support cookies.
This represents a huge problem for swedish sites which use.asp and.php session variables.
Just use Java Web Application with JSPs. They automatically handle the generation of sessionId with cookie or URL rewritting without any modification to the source code.:-)
Even if we have all the nice technology to create a humanoid robot that have the same physical capability as a human, they factor that will dictacte if they will replace humans will always be a cost/benefit ration which need to be lower that the human worker.
Such advanced robot will surely cost a bundle to produce and then maintain. Energy consumption (we are still far away of from the energy effeciency of an organic lifeform in any mechanical/electronic devices) will also be much higher than that of a human being (it will prbably cost more to McDonald to provide the proper amount of energy for the robot to function for a day that to give free lunches to it's employee).
We have the technology to create a complete automated McDonald (using specilized robots)(from ordering to delivery the food to the customer). We are not doing it because human are a lot cheaper worker. That's not going to change anytime soon!
Safari is not a book store. It's a renting library where you can only get a section of a book at a time (unless you are permanently connected to the Internet).
It would be a book store if you could buy and download a complete book so you can read it however it please you (online or offline, on-screen or off-screen).
I don't use Netscape, but I do use Mozilla 1.4b. It is my default browser. Why? I prefer the Mozilla mail client rather that any flavor of outlook. For the browser, it's more political than feature related. But I like the look of the modern them and I find it offer better customization. One of the killer feature of Mozilla that I appreciate the most is the RadialContext menu add-in.
The other nice thing is to be able to use the same application on many platform.
The strange thing about the EU is that they want to promote the use of Open Source stuff while at the same time they crumbling under to the US pressure so they allow software patent!
SecureIM only do encryption. There is NO way with SecureIM to be sure that you are talking to the right person.
It would be very easy for some network admin to do a man in the middle attack by intercepting all the trafic between you and your buddy (with the initial key exchange) without you knowing anything about it.
Having a false sense of security is worse that knowing that your communication is NOT secure.
A better way, would be to use PGP to enrypt your communication with your buddy. At least, if your are confident you obtained your buddy real public key, you know you are talking to the right person.
I find it strange that these idea come from people who (should) have no direct interest in it. Why would an university help the RIAA make money by comming up with a business plan for them.
Normally, things work the other way arround. Industries that don't evolve their business model overtime dies. They rarely get help from other industrie in finding way to get a profitable business model.
But now we have this guy trying to solve the RIAA problem (piracy) without being asked for help. And on top of that some RIAA spokeperson is skeptical of the plan. There is really weird cause the university cannot be taken liable for what users of their network do (they could only be required to give the user info, but, pending a current court case, that may even not be a requirement) as they can hide behind the safe harbor provision for ISPs.
Maybe it's time for some record label to get out of the RIAA and fund a new organization that will work to find new business model instead of trying to preserve outdated ones.
The GPL has nothing to do with a work being copyrighted or not. It has to do with LICENSING of the copyrighted work.
Original work I create are automatically copyrighted. But they are NOT automatically licensed under the GPL. If I make that work publicly availlable. Nobody has a right to redistribute it as he which UNLESS I explicitly release it under a license that give someone the right to distribute it.
What SCO is saying seems right in the first place. However, where they are wrong is that the GPL mandate that all the code included in the work (Linux kernel for example) must be GPLed. So if they distributed their own code (even without copyright notice) after their claim infrigment, then they are automatical releasing it under the GPL.
Good idea for legal sharing

The concept seems pretty bad if a channel creator want to distribute illegal stuff. The fact that he sign the stuff can make life easier for law enforcement to prove that the guy really put the illegal stuff online.
However, if I'm working on some project and want to share a bunch of stuff to the other working on the project (without versionning), then the idea is good. I can put a file on my channel and it will be automatically replicated to the other channel subscribers.
From what i read from their site, some feature are lacking:
It would be nice to have the capability to add other trusted people as distributor for a channel. That way, we could have a team that manage the channel content.
It would also be nice to be able to allow subscribing on invitation only.
It is NOT illegal! However, the person being paid can legally REFUSE the paiement if does not want take the time to count the money.
If the clerk kept the pennies then he committed either fraud or theft! You friend should have complained to his manager and if that did not worked he should have files a report at it's nearest police station.

Then the company will NOT maximise it's profits. And some competitor will sell the same stuff for less to these people.
Slashdot already have differential pricing. You can get it for free if your willing to look at advertisement.
However if that's annoying you, you pay and get rid of the advertisement!

I'd think that Microsoft would expect you to upgrade!
You dpn't have to do that. Your ISP business can keep NO logs.
Then if it gets a court request, just reply that you do not have the information they are requesting.
To my knowledge, there is no requirements for an ISP to log IP/modem associations.
The ISP could charge more than competitors to overcome the problem of not being able to charge customers for the amount of bandwidth they are using.
That would be expected as AD was non-existent when Win95 was released!

That is not entirely true. You are responsible for civil actions NOT criminal actions.

If they need an AI to find out duplicate submissions, then they either have no brain or they don't read slashdot!

Any guess when IBM will buy Novell?
My guess would be before they go to court with SCO. And then they'll terminate the sub-licensing contract with SCO. Then they just let them DIE!
