Ya, I sit every day in fear that one day my database systems will open up and spew ones and zeros all over gods creation, poisoning all nearby networks and data stores. Oh wait
INFORMATION DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!
Article talks about things that already happen. He just tries to get page views by putting a stupid but referencing something completely different instead of what he is actually talking about, business continuity plans. He doesn't even seem to have any good insights on the matter either.
The only thing that it was missing was a reference to hurricane Katrina. Sorry, Neil McAllister, but you're apparently an idiot.
"KDDI Corp will launch a fiber-optic communications service with upload and download speeds each of up to one gigabit per second on Oct 1....
KDDI will charge 5,985 yen in basic monthly fees for Internet and telephone services, down 1,155 yen from the current price."
Yes, they said lowering the price. XE converts 5,985 yen to $66.29 USD. $66 for 1Gbit compared to $139 for 50Mbit.
In everything, from the bottom all the way to the top, American internet speeds and price absolutely suck.
I had to skip Fedora 12 because X and/or KDE couldn't handle both of my nvidia cards. Enabling one with both monitors worked fine, but having X configure both cards (binary nvidia of course) locked the machine completely.
With support for Fedora 11 ending soon, I'm hoping this has been resolved.
Slackware dropped packaging Gnome themselves because others were doing it better. Dropline was the group pointed to when it happened, but I doubt they're the only ones. However most likely I've been trolled, Gnome is the default desktop in Fedora, including Fedora 13, you have to go out of your way to get a roll with KDE as default or use yum and install it later.
What exactly is your problem? Slackware's default DE is technically KDE and has been for a very long time. Slackware 13 moved to KDE4 as it's default, but there are people that packaged up KDE3 if that's not what you want to run or it also ships XFCE, or several plain window managers if the full on desktop environment isn't what you want.
Slackware 13 ran just as well as any other Slackware has, I doubt 13.1 will be any different.
The latest VMWare player works fine on 13, I doubt Workstation will have a problem. The hosted VMWare products work fine on the latest Fedora, I think it will be able to handle the more stable versions of Slackware.
How long on the fork of Firefox so that the Mozilla Foundation makes a light browser that is fast at what it does again and has another full and bloated client for those that don't want to browse too fast?
I'm sorry, but I no more like a private company doing this then I do the government.
The average consumer doesn't know what tracking and analysis companies are doing with this information any more then they know what tracking the government is doing. Using the 'it's ok if they do it so why can't we' argument in this situation holds as much water as Facebooks claim that privacy doesn't exist anymore because people put information into a service they thought was private when it wasn't.
Sites like YouTube use Flash for one reason - to display video. The surge in the last couple of years of video on sites streaming only flv has massively increased the amount of flash on the internet. The HTML5 video tag is a direct competitor to this use of flash - if everyone can agree on a single codec.
Flash for creating highly interactive sites and online games isn't really threatened here, but if there is a cross web platform way to distribute video, especially since it works better, then Adobe can say good by to a really big reason for many sites to buy flash creation tools.
Flash is a hog and is overused simply to push video to anything, it will be good to see that go.
If Childs had not been a dick and handed over the passwords to the auditor first and later his bosses after he was fired, they never would have been exposed in public court. Childs caused the situation you are attempting to hang is bosses for.
The dude was canned, he no longer had any right to those passwords. Had he actually acted like a professional and handed them over, none of this would have happened.
Honestly, what I would really love to see would be something like SSH X forwarding to run a single remote app from a Mac or WIndows machine. I have a MacBook, it has a 13 inch screen. My Linux desktop at home has a much larger screen. I wish I could just forward individual Cocoa apps the same way you can run remote X apps over SSH and run them on the larger screen without having to hook the monitor, a keyboard and mouse to the Mac.
Are you suggesting that neither techs or mechanics suggest or try shady shit because of this mythical fear?
Just had a mechanic suggest I flush the break line on a 3 year old car, 'because it's something that should be done every 3 years.' Of course the dealership was willing to to do it to just $150 or so.
They ain't afraid of shit and heaven forbid you have a vagina but for some reason, by and large the general public believes you should just trust people calling themselves experts.
Its shocking though, nobody would trust someone in the real world telling you that you need something they are providing without some kind of double check.
Many mechanics rely on this not being true all the time. Cars and computers are magical things to many people, things that normal people aren't expected to be able to understand. These 'normal people' are simply used to trusting anyone, or anything now, that claims to be an expert on the subject.

For the most part, everything in the book will work with a project created from scratch targeting Django 1.2.
Excellent.
Verizon FIOS tops at 50Mbit/20Mbit down/up for $139/month according to their site.

Now compare that to this from Japan.

Seriously, I say fuck'em.

Says the guy posting on the internet to a story about 10 minutes after it went public.
You're really no better then anyone else, you just use the internet instead of picking TV shows.
Not the TITTIES!
... and for the Asuka cosplayers.
This is also why Wikipedia should never be considered a good source of information. It's like two birds with one stone, a biavianlith if you will.
And now I need to go to go make a wiki page on biavianliths.
