Great, now when I moon the camera when I go down to the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Homeland Security will have a photo of my ass on file!
Hey a great way to track the girlfriend when she goes down to the harbor and I want to stay home and game. "Don't worry honey, I'll be with you the whole time...WATCHING YOU!"
Thank you Baltimore City!
And you would not believe how many free BJs I have gotten through fixing girl's computers. You fix me, I fix your computer. Even trade without the viruses!
Exactly! I was in a vendor meeting with Dell, and they clearly stated they make Intel, HP, and all the other manufacturers do the R&D...then after a product has been on the market for a while, they take it, partner with that company to get its product, and Dell-ify it with their own R&D.
That is *exactly* what happen with Lexmark and the "Dell" printers. All of Dell's printers are manufactured by Lexmark, just different requirements and rebranded.
Of course, the most expensive device to jot your notes down on with your handwriting and is portable is the Tablet PC market. Currently using a Compaq Tablet PC TC1100 model for around $2700 with the docking station and DVD-ROM/CDRW combo drive. I am also using M$ OneNote as my electronic spiral notebook.
The productivity savings of me not loosing my notes and paperless are a life saver. I use to be one of those people that would make all my notes on posty notes...then would have like 100s of them...and a 100 more lost!
The cheapest method is one of those keyboard devices that store your keystrokes into memory and have like a 15 character LCD display of what you are writing...of course i forget the product's name...doh! it would hook into your PS/2 keyboard port and download the keystrokes into notepad/Word.
The other method would be a PDA with a keyboard, or a phone with a keyboard.
About a month after the SmartPhones were out, our company evaluated 15 qty of each of Verizon Wireless's M$ based SmartPhones for our IS department and select people: the i-600 and the i-700. The i-600 model is the usual flip phone model while the i-700 is the PDA model with a big antenna. I was included in the tests since I do the IS purchasing for the entire company; I get to play with lots of new "toys" that way through vendors like Dell and CDW:-)
The results?
Everyone that used the i-700 (including myself) hated it. It was too big to be carried around like cell phone, and didn't have much for accessories to add-onto it for a PDA. Plus their was connectivity issues and all were returned after their evaluation period to Verizon.
The i-600 became one of our phone standards for some of the IS staff that are a director's level and above, but required them to give up their PDAs. The i-600 was tested some more by our IS for 2 more months before allowing some of the high end users (senior VPs and above) to use it to replace their existing cell phone and PDA.
Ever since the last firmware update, the phones don't crash every 2-3 days like they uses to. Also, these phones can eat through batteries. One of their typical large batteries will last about a day and half. We had to buy all the SmartPhone users duel batteries so they can rotate them.
What is even worse is Verizon doesn't make any accessories for these phones; they all are made by some 3-rd party, who has 1-2 week delays at times on simple stuff like batteries and chargers.
Besides those quirks, my IS team loves them. However, their price keeps them reserved to the higher ups since they are under 2 year contracts.
Personally, I use a Sony Erickson T68i and sync it via bluetooth to my Outlook calendar and contacts at work. Does the same thing as the SmartPhone, without the big fancy graphical display.
Why not a SETI-like cache?
on
Freecache
·
· Score: 1
Why doesn't someone develop a small program like SETI program, but instead of finding intelligent life, it supports the space and bandwidth for caching like FreeCache? it would be true P2P cache!
Then to get past all the illegal files, put a disclaimer in the program that the person running the program is not involved with what is being hosted.
hopefully if you get around 1,000 home computers, you can get around the./ effect:-)
Actually, there is a beta version of Windows 64 bit out for AMD and Intel users to test out. Cost nothing to download, and you can get a CD in the mail if you need to. I had problems burning from their ISO, so i opted for the CD in the mail.
The biggest advantage of Win 64 bit is you get past a great deal of the memory limitations in Windows XP and 2000. I have noticed a great difference in speed between running the same AMD 64 3200+ machine in Windows XP and Windows 64 bit on a dual boot.
Why bother with the wi-fi backpack when you can just be like Lain - The Wired? Besides, everyone will be able to connect to the wired from the radation waves of broadband over powerlines!
yes, but now the google cache is dead! now the lazy people are pissed!
seems like every hardware site known to man is linking to their article. any other known caches out there...want to see this crazy thing!
I think it is time to break out the old 286 and start using WordStar! most people don't use beyond some of the basic formatting features anyhow:-P
This is just Micro$oft's way of trying to block off the open-source community off at the pass. Remember, Linux is Microsoft's biggest threat! What better way to do that then cut them off from using any of their new technology of a centeralized document rights management software! Plus Micro$oft can make extra $$ by forcing users to upgrade their Office 2000/XP, AND add another server product to their already costly enterprise software line. Don't forget new certifications for this new version of Office, and an additional certification for managing that document rights manager!
However, one must remember we only groan and moan about this cause it is Microsoft. Other software companies could easily do this, but since our cornholios are already bleeding from Mr. Gates, we make it a big dealo.
Besides, this is just one of the campaigns Micro$oft has for its "bigger" plan. They are being challenged everywhere in the war of Micro$oft vs. the world...from MSN vs 3rd party IM clients, on patents and IPs, their security, and the list goes on.
Now is the time for the open-source community to get their heads together and get cracking on a user-friendly MS Office clone that is packaged into a user-friendly XWindows system that your dog could use. We are far far from that point..
I agree. I use to be a Internet Application Developer / Database Administrator / Network Administrator:-P Right now I do a bit of private consulting, but I work now mainly as a IS Buyer for 11 locations for the company I work for:-)
1)The best thing to do is to get everything in writing in either email or on paper. That way if someone backs out, you can throw their words back in their face. Even then I do not do that job function anymore and work as an IS Buyer in the purchasing department, I still use this tactic to save my butt from client screw-ups.
2)Have good communication with your boss. If someone wants to pile something on you, go to your boss and tell them about it. Otherwise, your boss may think you are not doing much, and pile MORE on top of you. With them aware, any good boss will know how you are being hammered. I found the best way to communicate and keep a paper trail was email and a good old whiteboard.
3) Make your boss make the decissions of what you should do. This takes the responsibiity off you if something doesn't get done. Besides, you report to THEM, not the other people.
4) If you work with clients, never say the "no" word. They hate it and may build a bad relationship. Talk with them on what they currently have, and the impact and $$ value on how it will change on whatever you are working on with them about. Then after talking with them, have them email you back on what you discussed to see if they understood. 7 out of 10 times they will back down one they hear a larger $$ figure or DON'T understand. It may require some hand holding, but that is "customer management" heh.
I have not had much success with MS Project...but I did have success in keeping my boss updated each day or two on what I have been working on in email. Used these old emails to get a raise:-)
They charge $0.20 USD per pound of equipment disposed. Of course, they do the labor, but with the collection of those raw materials they break it down into, I am sure they are making well over their $$'s worth.
No, Sony will use this to beat profits out of Micrsoft in hopes to harm the X-Box line so the Sony Playstation line remains profitable. Think of the implications.
No, even beter. Get a list of all the employees of the RIAA, and list them on the net. Share the list on Kazza:-)
And for a step further, submit their names to their own system reporting they are pirating the right of lissening to musick!
Hmm, whenever someone gets a capture of the RIAA anti-piracy commericals, someone needs to do a spoof of it.

If you are looking for a proven open standard methodology for performing security tests, then Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM) is the way to go.
In addition, there is the linux distro of Trinux, which includes most of the common linux open source security auditing tools.
Maybe we can harass the power of the parallel murder as a one time energy source...to power the blogger server! Hmmm...

No better yet, just like RoboCop: E.D.-209: "Please, put down your weapon. You have twenty seconds to comply."
