    and what satellite took the picture? sputnik?

  2. think that's fast? on Are Relational Databases Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    I want a Beowulf cluster of column databases.

  3. Re:Why should GWT be on my radar screen? on GWT in Action · · Score: 1

    It works with apache or any other web server. Basically it just generates javascript which can be hosted anywhere. As for the backend for RPC and server calls for data, I think that's just java based, but works with Tomcat. It's open source. I've done AJAX apps with hand-coded javascript, with toolkits like prototype and yahoo, and with GWT, and IMHO, GWT is pretty nice. Of course that sidesteps the question of whether web apps should be all AJAX'd up, but if you do take a strong look at GWT.

    Guess I better change my ATM pin.

  5. Re:Mixed Feelings on Google Purchases GrandCentral Web Phone Service · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know if GC works with SMS? That is the main thing keeping me off the service.

  6. Re:If the goal is cheap international calling... on SkyQube Squared Shakes Up International Calling · · Score: 1

    Last time I looked into this Vonage would not forward to international numbers. If this has changed then this is awesome. They also need to allow you to forward txt messages and I will be super happy.

  7. Re:Now they don't _have_ to make money on Clear Channel Goes Private and Streamlined · · Score: 1

    One could argue that they now have less leeway than before for political chicanery. When you buy a company with flat revenues for 12x EBITDA, you'd better make a lot of money, and fast, or you will be crushed by the debt. They need to give the audience what they want, whether it's political or not is not really up to them. Not that I'm arguing that, but one could argue...

  8. Re:Data Structures and Algorithms on Advanced Data Structures? · · Score: 1

    We used this book in my data structures class. Not surprising since the prof was Aho. In one of our exams he asked us to design an algorithm to determine the longest path between two points in a graph. You have to be a real SOB to assign an NP-complete problem as your exam. He is quite a character. Anyway, I guess this is not relevant, but it brings me back to the good old days before corporate slavery.

  9. Re:wow on Spamhaus to Ignore $11.7M Judgement · · Score: 1

    IANAL, but I believe the Full Faith and Credit clause of the US Constitution allows rulings and judgements to be imposed in other states.

  10. Re:Read and Succeed on Staying On-Top of Programming Trends? · · Score: 1

    I don't love programming, but I'm still trying to find another job that a) I'm good at, b) pays a crapload, and c) doesn't matter that I have terrible people skills.

  11. Re:Sounds great ... but. on Vonage going IPO · · Score: 1

    I agree. I have also been a customer for several years with two lines. The last two things I needed from them I was unable to do. One is to forward my line to an international number and pay the international rate. They apparently only can forward to US/Canada numbers. I also asked about switching to the Wifi Phone. They wouldn't even let me pay for it. Support told me I needed to purchase an additional line from them to get it. Ridiculous.

  12. Re:Does it move sent mail into the appropriate fol on Thunderbird 1.5 Arrives · · Score: 1

    I know this is not the most "techie" solution, but I just use Foldershare to sync my email folders on all of my machines so I can use thunderbird without worrying about what email went to which machine. They are always all up to date. I've been pretty happy with it and it's free (for now -- Microsoft bought them and waived the fee). The only thing it's missing is remote web access.

  13. Re:Some of these things are valid... on Top Ten Persistent Design Flaws · · Score: 1

    An even bigger complaint is that on some older models of macintosh (the last one I used), the power button was next to the disk drive where the eject button should be. That was annoying. And since I learn things very slowly, I repeatedly turned off the computer.

  14. Re:Care to define that? on Internet Meltdown Predicted for Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Check out RFC3514 for more information about the "Evil Bit", which is a portion of the IP header used by the computers and servers of cyber-terrorists.

  15. Re:Our gov't at work on Senator Blacklisted by No-Fly List · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why having 'T. Kennedy' on the watch list would prevent Edward Kennedy from getting on a plane.

    I am having the same problem with a Dell 300M and the WRT54G. My other computer has no problem (using a linksys antenna also) so I think the dell is the problem.

    It seems that since they are including the headers in the hash spammers would still have to hash each one, unless they send all the spam to the same person.
