From the full story @ MicrosoftWatch:
McLaws, who runs the Longhornblogs network, said a lot of "extra time and resources" had to be expended to make the site render the same way on all Web browsers.
Now this shows how M$ responsibly cares indeed about having people employed. Hmm, they probably think overtime.
From the press release... The latest Nielsen//NetRatings global research shows that the majority of usage growth has come from increased frequency of access or user session growth.
Which other type of "usage growth" am I too stupid to think of while assuming that they are talking about "average time" spent on the net on a "per user basis"?
Dude! You forgot some kind of postmodern mental masturbation! At least, that's what it is so far as I can figure it out. It's not "Time Cube", but it sure is confusing.
No, I did not forget but were too shy to mention because I myself was one of those (of course, way ahead of time:).

Anyway, thank you for giving me the chane to post as follows.
I recall that I would have been in the position to afford an Indigo @ ~DM 10K from the person (Dr. Fred Hantelmann, biggest asshole in the known universe, always sitting on his finger) who wrote a review on this machine (when it was state-of-the-art; do not buy the article here) but who refused the deal (he was granted a rebate on behalf of him writing this review from Heise). I got over it when I managed to have the department buy a Personal Iris 4D35 @ (roughly) DM 120.000 for me (it had the sound of a vacuum cleaner:).
After Microsoft back ports everything from Longhorn to XP, will the $499 upgrade from XP to Longhorn be like 95 to 98? Just some bug fixes and a free browser?
Yes, presumably. But count on the fact that PHBs/CTOs etc. are not capable of multiplying - wait... well, after all these 26 hour days who would be in this position/orientation anyway/particularly indeed.
My thought is that 2-factor will only really take off if MS implement it as standard - however then it will only work if you do it MS's way using software approved / created by them.
Seems - if I did not miss something - that no one (even here on/.:) has realized (up tp now) that this is a fine road to lock users/customers in.
Here are two new active attacks we're starting to see:
Man-in-the-Middle attack. An attacker puts up a fake bank website and entices user to that website. User types in his password, and the attacker in turn uses it to access the bank's real website. Done right, the user will never realize that he isn't at the bank's website. Then the attacker either disconnects the user and makes any fraudulent transactions he wants, or passes along the user's banking transactions while making his own transactions at the same time.
...
Back some decades: An attacker puts up a fake login screen on some mainframe. The innocent user logs in and is greeted with an error message indicating hat he has got his password wrong and after that logs in as usual, perhaps a little disturbed (but due to general overload, unsuspecting).
Thus we do not see "new active attacks", but a variety of an old scheme.
It's not like "value of a network" is some precisely measurable quantity.
Working in the realm of psychology, I tend to be more of the opinion that it may be assessed (you of course will have an error - I dimly recall LORD&NOVICK 1968, Statistical theories of mental test scores - may fit here) if you a priori go through the hassle of operationalization which, as a prerequisite (at least IMHO), needs a theory of how that value is established - which is the crucial point. Depending on this definition you might (you for sure will) end up with different laws.
The fact that network value is probably defined inconsistently by the brains at the nodes of course may complicate things a little, but this is why computer were invented.
Kraft Deutschland owns the Milka brand, which is one of the finest varieties of chocolate in Germany.
Honestly, I disagree with he "finest" part. Rather, Leysieffer or Lindt come to mind if quality is what I am prompted with (also, compare the
style of these sites with "milka" and draw your own conclusions about the targets).
Hard to believe that the most sold product in the segment/category is upmarket anyway.

We are very much interested in evaluating new ways for computer games and therefore like to cooperate with the gaming industry. Thus if you are in such a position, please send us an email!

Interesting; (with a little (a lot of) imagination and some thoughts about the "semantic web") this leads to "real" fuzzyness and conjures up the vision of a surface based, netted Magrathea product (no need to use the whole planet anymore).
Throughput computing maximizes the throughput per processor and per system. So a processor with multiple cores will be able to increase the throughput by the number of cores per processor. This increase in performance comes at a lower cost, fewer systems, reduced power consumption, and lower maintenance and administration, with increase in reliability due to fewer systems. (from TFA, emphasis mine)
So it seems they invented a way to linearly scale peformance. WOW! But maybe I misunderstood and the thing is over my head.
... already a couple of years ago when designing mobile phones (actually, they did quite a bit of market resarch on that - I participated (as a researcher)).
"Rüschlikon, 3 March 2005--Given the rapidly increasing data volumes that are downloaded onto mobile devices such as cell phones and PDAs, there is a growing demand for suitable storage media with more and more capacity....... Thus, it is ideally suited for use in mobile devices such as digital cameras, cell phones and USB sticks."
So the demands of the environment seem to be specified.
