Why was their internal Intranet affected? They claimed that their internal network, their mail (different subnet) and such were also down as a result of this attack. This would lead one to believe that the attack also got through their firewall. That, I find hard to believe.
I remember Canon's ads... If you can't take a photo of it with the A1, you probably can't take a photo of it.
I've had numerous A1 bodies and it is still my film camera of choice. I have a lot of lenses, filters and attachments for the A1 also. The camera is extremely versatile, easy to use and easy to learn.
You can find refurbed bodies relatively cheap and C Mount lenses too since no current body uses this format any more. I prefer manual focus since I do a lot of airplane air-shows with 500 and 1000 mm lenses. I've never found an auto-focus that can focus fast enough on an F-16 coming right at ya!
I have a digital SLR but for serious work, I still use film. Agfa is my preferred print film. It has more grain than Kodak or Fuji but I think it has the best color (personal opinion). Use a slower film (less grain) and shoot properly.
There is a green laser also and we can see it from our home in the mountains south of Denver. Its on for a few minutes then off for a longer time. True they're using IR but they also have radar and visible light mixed in.
The light cannot be seen nor can the air that it passes through but the air is NOT clean. So, the beam of light will reflect off of the millions of miniscule particles that float in the air (moisture, smog, dust, etc.). What one will see will be the reflection of the light -- not the light itself.
If SCO continues to fail to produce the evidence they've claimed they have, the judge will likely be very displeased, perhaps dismissing the lawsuit entirely.
This judge cannot dismiss the case because this is NOT the judge that will try the case. The trial judge can take a recommendation from this judge, which is possible.
The only thing that remains is what is SCO going to produce within the next 30 days.
Deutche Grammophon did an album by Bach that was recorded on the world's biggest pipe organ - Organ of the Jaegersborg Church, Copenhagen. The album, Famous Bach Organ Works from Karl Richter, is fantastic at tearing apart speakers:) The album, is available on CD now but mine is on an LP. If you have a great stereo, this will get you close to what a true pipe organ sounds like.
Bumping up to another court is exactly what is happening however, this time the bump is by Verizon -- not the RIAA. The Verizon case is pending appeal which gives the SBC case some (not much) flexibility. Since the constitutionality of the Verizon case has yet to be determined, the SBC case is attempting to ask the same question about the subpoena process and the Constitution. This whole mess could end up at the U.S. Supreme Court before its all over, provided that court will even hear the case.
Actually, from a legal perspective there is a change of environment. When the Verizon case was handled, there was no precident and no errors in subpoenas. In the case of SBC, they now have proof that the RIAA process is flawed -- something Verizon could only speculate about. How they play that hand will likely determine the outcome of this case.
Some other issues that are limiting the ability of Linux to become popular with the masses are: 1. The names of the programs are not user friendly. Where Microsoft calls a media player a Media Player or a photo editor Paint, Linux uses names that have no meaning to the common user. Names such as Gimp, Pia, Ogg123, etc. have no indication of what they really do as an application. 2. Package installation can be a huge problem. How often do you try and install a package just to find out that you have incompatibilities all over the place. Libraries and required package version problems and other such things can make installation of simple things a total nightmare.
Part of the problem is the way BMI/ASCAP/SESAC pay out their royalties. Small genre artists don't get anything and the top artists share the entire pile of cash (after these agencies take their administrative cut). I used to pay out thousands of dollars in royalties only to find that NONE of the artists I aired ever received a solitary dime.
The system has to guarantee pay for play. If a song gets played -- regardless of how small the artist, then that artist still gets their percentage. This doesn't work today and the licensing agencies like it that way.
The problem with DRM is that it is largely a ruse. Those that want it are those that make money from it. The problem is that the creative talent behind the content will probably never see much benefit from it. The RIAA/MPAA/SWG/BMI/ASCAP/etc folks will all reap huge rewards from it but the actual artists/songwriters/authors/etc. will probably not see very much.
As a music publisher and promoter, I paid thousands of dollars in royalties to the licensing agencies however, not one artist or songwriter in 7+ years has ever received a solitary zinc penney. Never and none. All the money the RIAA is taking in with their extortion tactics stays within the RIAA and the corporations. Not one cent is being paid out to the artists. Never and none.
So DRM isn't about paying royalties to artists and it isn't about protecting them since they will receive very little, if any benefit from DRM.
Those selling the locks and the keys and those selling the media and the players are the only ones who will receive any financial benefit. So, why even have DRM?
Why don't you (everybody) send the author of these articles some polite information like the links to the OSDL article, GrokLaw.net, etc. Maybe these business types don't know where to find the techie information (they should -- it's their job) So, just inform them where the real facts are and let them eat that soup for a few days.
This is wrong. If Linux contains any formerly trade secreted code at all, that status has been forfeited not because of the GPL, but because it was published in the first place without their permission, and SCO would actually legitimately be entitled to compensation for damages (assuming that their IP was misappopriated in the first place, which I doubt).
This is to assume that Caldera or the previous SCO didn't willfully put it into THEIR distribution of Linux. Since SCO had to both review the code in question, compile it for their binaries and document it, it will be difficult to say they didn't know it was in there.
It looks like SCO is really going after the ATT/BSD settlement per their conference yesterday. This soap opera is going to make one hell of a book when its all over.
The Green Hills C compiler had all kinds of optimization techniques but they also had a way to measure the assembler output. One method would eliminate all symbols and make huge code that ran inline. The code was fast but used up a lot of disk space. They had many optimization options and dozens of flags that could be set so that the compiler would actually give you what you wanted. Analyzing the assembly code was a great way to learn the ins and outs of their compiler.
We send up satellites and such all the time in shuttles. Wasn't the hubble was sent up this way? If so, it will fit in a shuttle bay. So the next time we send a lot of stuff up for the space station or launch another satellite, why not make a few more orbits and bring hubble back to Earth? Then we could do a all the upgrades we want and return it to orbit at a later time.
Here in Colorado Springs, we have a very Christian organization that claims to project values and morals through their very profitable enterprise. They run ads all the time such as director of information technology ($28,000 / yr) and web designer for even less. They never get anybody to work for them and those that do just use them as a stepping stone. If FotF was really a Christian and moral company, they'd pay moral wages.
With such a small size of only 1 cubic centimeter (cc), these things are going to require a case of significant size to hold them. You won't be able to read what's on the cube because the text and or picture would be too small to see.
So, they're coming out with a new media that's smaller but will require a bigger case to hold it because it's thicker.
All I can see is people taking these things and ripping the music to a more meaningful media (mp3s on CDs or hard drives) like they're doing today.
Knowing the recording industry, they'll hike the price on these smaller and cheaper devices just as they did with CDs.
Slashdot Mirror
Solaris 10 for intel has been out for quite a while so why all the interest in Solaris 8 and 9? Solaris 10 has many changes over Solaris 9.
Why was their internal Intranet affected? They claimed that their internal network, their mail (different subnet) and such were also down as a result of this attack. This would lead one to believe that the attack also got through their firewall. That, I find hard to believe.
Why didn't they also add Solaris 10 x86 under the same agreement? I've had this for some time now when it first became available.
What part of "the right of the people to keep and copy music, shall not be infringed" do you not understand?

Thanks for the corrections and a lot of info. You do know your organs ;)
;)
I got this comment off the back of the album and I am certainly no authority on pipe organs so I graciously stand corrected!
Banjo is my instrument - easier to carry around and tune

Price may be up but on extremely low volume. Probably somebody at SCO buying at a high price.
From Groklaw...The firm will be enforcing and defending SCO's intellectual property rights, including the protection of our UNIX System V source code and our copyrights that were reaffirmed as a result of the BSDI settlement agreement.'" Does SCO now think that they also own BSDi rights?
