And if you do have an immediate need, it's probably more memorable and meaningful to leave a video message online ( *cough* video recording service */cough* ) than to make people go to a cemetary and squint in the sunlight.
Combine that with some of the latest trends (like search-query based RSS - implemented at vobbo - example - search for 'tristen'), and you could have some really great feeds.
I can just imagine, a feed of boobies from around the world.
You really need to know what to look for to avoid the sort of thing.
Actually, you really need to not use the internet to avoid the sort of thing.
A smart user can go for a long time without getting infected, but even the best users will pick up crap from time to time.
P2P, porn sites, warez sites, and silly AIM addons (great for the office chicks, not so much fun for the nice IT folk who allowed them to run AIM and then had to clean up the mess) are all great ways to pick up spy/ad/malware.
Well, common sense says that when your lecture is denied twice by the university, and you give it anyway, you're likely going to get fired.
The firing is legit - he clearly disobeyed a very clear issue. Most would agree that denying the request was wrong (for some definition of wrong), but that doesn't mean he should ignore his employer.
It doesn't matter WHY they say it, they pay his salary, he either listens or goes elsewhere.
It actually looks like they're suggesting * that people include the AdSense javascript at the end of the full text article in the feed, rather than inserting advertising links within the links/list of articles itself.
It's unfortunate, because the code is insecure as hell.
For instance, 'source.php' lets you view the source of files, but only if 'sys_view_source' (a global) is set in the config.
Of course, they don't check to see HOW it is set, but rather, allow you to pass it on the _GET global, which overrides the config, which, of course, lets you view the source of any file:
You really think there are more parents buying mod chips than teenagers and college students who just don't want to pay for games in the first place?
Really?
My guess is that the number of people who have bought mod chips solely to protect their games from little kids is... well.... less than a dozen. Maybe two dozen, but not more than that.
First thing it does is `rpm -qa` and sends that list right to RedHat.
It's really hard to know what updates to provide without seeing a list of software packages installed. Sure, they could differentiate between "Our" software and "Other" software in the list of installed programs, but that's just silly - send the whole list, and ignore the stuff you don't care about.
Lucky for Echostar, most of their customers are locked into year-long contracts anyway, and breaking them early will cost on the order of $300 (at least that's how my contract reads).
I'm with Echostar on this, though. ESPN tried to do the same thing to Cox two months ago, and Cox stood up to them; ESPN caved. Viacom's trying to bully people around, and I wouldn't tolerate that either.
If you want to get paid for doing what you love, and you love coding, then pushing open source as if your life depended on it is going to, sooner or later, cost you your job.
It's not great, but human nature is to take the cheapest alternative that works. Sure, some companies will choose more expensive options for support, or ease of use, but most people want something that works, and something that's cheap, and if an open source / free (cost) solution does what your expensive product does, count yourself out of a job.
The problem is that there are no great replacements for Active Directory and Exchange.
You call it proprietary lock-ins, I call it a damn good way to manage a few thousand users.
I've been on both sides here. I've done the OpenLDAP database of users, with OS X desktops an Samba fileservers, Sendmail / QPopper / IMAP mail setups for a few thousand users.
I've also done the Win2k3 servers with AD and Exchange, and WinXP desktops, again for a few thousand users.
The bottom line is that they both serve the same roles: user management, mail, fileserving.
The difference is that while it takes 20 seconds to add a user to Active Directory (complete with Exchange mailbox setup, login script assignment, etc), it takes fussing with LDIF files for OpenLDAP. Eventually we went to web applications to mimic the MS tools, but that again takes time and money. There simply aren't the tools available that make it worthwhile for busy administrators to fuss with OpenSource solutions.
It's difficult to get away from MS tech because MS makes it damn easy to run an enterprise of a few thousand employees. It may be that the IT staff just isn't used to linux (I suppose I benefit from the fact that I grew up on Sun and FreeBSD, which makes it really easy for me to pick up just about any of the common OSes around), but realistically speaking, there's a lot to be said for the enterprise tools that MS offers, even though they cost a lot of money.
I'm still waiting for an open source package that comes close to rivaling Exchange in functionality. I don't see that happening anytime in the near ( 3 years ) future.
The stated goal of the Reagan SDI was along those lines, but the real plan of the SDI was to create a technological race that the USSR had no chance of matching, which launched the US into prominence and bankrupted the USSR.
Right. They probably will, when they realize there's money to be made there.
In the mean time, they're hitting the consumers, and the article makes it look like the online-shopping-is-tax-free 'feature' is coming to an end:
Separately from the Discovery program, the state is also gathering information from other sources to track down tax leads. Most states now share with each other the results of their audits. North Carolina, for example, might audit a furniture manufacturer and get a list of customers to whom the company shipped a chair or a sofa without collecting sales tax.
North Carolina could share that list of customers with other states so they could track down those residents who bought a piece of furniture but didn't pay use tax on it. The same sharing of data goes on with purchases of jewelry, furs, and virtually anything else that's taxable.
Massachusetts is already demanding that shipping companies like United Parcel Service and Federal Express share the names of individuals who receive shipments of cigarettes from out-of-state companies. The state has collected $162,000 in cigarette excise taxes this way over the last year.
The law already says that buyers should be paying sales tax, but it's so silly that most people never do. This software could start enforcing that, creating a huge burden on everyone. Quite unfortunate.

If you want to see pricey, leave the Dell SAN storage section and visit the IBM SAN storage section.
For what it's worth, the HP MSA line is very affordable. The IBM line - not so much.

Slightly less annoying. Only slightly.
It's stanford ... at least the streets are wide enough that people can run. Put it in MIT and you'd have a much harder time getting out of the way.
The jackass involved made a concious decision to break the law, thereby willingly risking 1-2% of his life for the opportunity to profit.
It's his own damn fault.

The next question is: where's the list of non-SCO compliant hosting providers?
:)
www.2advanced.net- IBM hardware, no SCO licenses.
Anyone else?

Yea, who would do something stupid like subscription operating system updates?
Well, yes and no.

Yea ... when do they strip out the plugin architechure to comply with the Eolas patent?
Afterall, MS can no longer release versions of IE, it's only a matter of time until Mozilla is hit, too.
Use the Windows 2000/2003 Logical Disk Manager, vinum in FreeBSD, or whatever it is Linux uses, and do it in software.
Of course you're entirely wrong, because it's based on BSD licensed tools from other (non-linux) operating systems.
If Microsoft provides a client for Unix filesystems, they get "embrace and extend" comments.
If Microsoft doesn't, they get the "refusing to support open standards" comments.
What do you want them to do? Do you want them to attempt to work with Unix, or do you want them to completely ignore the fact that Unix exists?
Yes.
FYI, there's also a windows NFS server that IBM uses in its TotalStorage NAS line.
It's REALLY, REALLY nice to be able to have a single NAS that serves windows and NFS shares, and that interfaces with the IBM DLT Libraries.
