All modern TV sets have a PCMCIA slot for inserting a CAM module, just like a satellite receiver. I never understood why TV providers don't use them...
If you look at the list of the most pirated TV series (releaseby TorrentFreak) and compare it to the most profitable TV series, you can almost mix up the two lists...
GPS trackers are being used ubiquitously nowadays. I do not have any problems with them, although I do not have any. They are being used for controlling people who drive for a living. But, using them to track people off duty is a completely ludicrous. It should be banned. In Portugal, I know, the Personal Data Protection Law strictly forbids it. IMHO, the US could learn a lot from certain European laws.
I find it "funny" being dismissed for a job on the basis of overqualifications... IMHO there's no such thing as overqualifications. This excuse is just a reason for companies not hiring someone. In my country (Portugal) this is a most frequent excuse for not hiring. The other excuse is aging. It's true that after 35 it is more difficult to get a new job. My personal experience says so... I'm 37 and I've been unemployed for the last 4 months. Fortunately I got a job in a company that I worked for in the past, because the person in charge knew me very well and did not need any job interview to know me better...
Some of the greatest innovations of all time came from projects considered to be waste of time and money. So I do not agree with the verb 'waste' in this article. Maybe some day we will look back to this/. article and rewrite it to remove the word 'wasted'...:-)
IMHO, NAT would almost be completely unnecessary if the IP space was better used. All registries have such statistics, just check for yourselves in the APNIC, ARIN, RIPE, and others...
Nevertheless, there is so much you can (NOT!) do with NAT, especially peer-to-peer and applications that use UDP.

FreeBSD 5.1 Released
·
· Score: 3, Informative
I work at a place where we use Linux and FreeBSD servers, and I can tell you that sometimes we forget the BSD servers ever exist... It is so much more stable than Linux for *real* network servers! Of course I use Linux, just because the hardware support is much better, but if I can have a choice and FreeBSD has all I need for a particular use, I go with FreeBSD. And don't forget: if it weren't for BSD, we would not be having this discussion!
I am from Portugal, that, for those of you who don't know, is on the far West side of Europe, in the Iberian Peninsula. I was shoked Tuesday, when, after lunch about 1:43pm (8:45am New York Time) I saw a "Breaking news report" on Canal 1 (channel 1 of the national TV, RTP), which showed the North tower of the World Trade Center in flames. I was just tring to hear what they were saying, when suddenly, coming out of nowhere, anothe plane crashed into the South tower. I was stunned... I thought to myself: "This is a hoax. It cannot be real!!!" But it was. I thought it was the beginning of World War III... Some of are are saying that the US should not retaliate. I SAY: "WIPE THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. THIS PLANET IS NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR TERRORISTS AND DECENT PEOPLE." And you can quote me on that!!!
Actually, with SCSI, you can have inter-device transfers (without intervention of the CPU or the DMA controller) and can access several devices on the same SCSI bus at the same time, which you cannot do with EIDE (you have to end the dialog between the driver and the device before accessing another EIDE device). I don't know if I made myself clear, but in any case there are many webpages out there that explain the differences.

Just solve the WinSxS mess.
ZX Spectrum BASIC!
Followed a few years later by Turbo Pascal and C.
I also learned (at a more basic level), Java, Fortran 77.
I self-taught myself BASH scripting, Perl, Python and PHP.

This shouldn't have to be forced on people in a law! It should be common sense for all employers!

I was really expecting a "real" real world test.
I would like to see a head to head between, for example, WebLogic Server with Oracle DB vs. .NET IIS with SQL Server.
The test as is, IMHO, is crap.
