reading things out loud is not a problem. the problem is that nobody will be watching a robot. people want people. for the same reason nobody would watch formula-1 or nascar if cars were driven by robots, the same reason makes slashdot and digg much more popular than google news tech.
There is no point in manually checking the essay if scores positive on for plagiarism. This way teachers will save time checking works of their students, which is usually time-consuming.
Xen was a big hype last year, but more virtualization products for Linux come to light, including OpenVZ, others. It is not just about Xen or VMware anymore. In fact, kernel developers work on a common interface for paravirtualization software. That means users are going to have more choice implementing their kernel containers, whether XenSource stabilizes their product or not.
bear with me, this is quick and dirty translation:
"GoDaddy blocked domains of Russian users"
On 14 of June Majordomo company (one of Russian ISPs) received a notification from GoDaddy company (leader of world domain registrars), which stated that domains of 1399 clients of Majordomo were blocked from that day.
Why would a leading domain registrar block almost one thousand and a half of domain of a Russian hosting provider using false information was not clear for Majordomo. All attempts to clear up the situation failed. Domains are still blocked.
On 14th of June Majordomo's tech support recevied a letter from GoDaddy informing them that 1399 domains of Majordomo clients are blocked starting that day. The reason - so-called breaching the agreement from Majordomo's side. Complaints from Spamhouse.org (Spamhouse.org is a company hosting a database of ip-addresses of servers that send spam.) were stated as a reason for blocking the domains. Complaints stated that Majordomo's clients send spam. Majordomo says there is no evidense to support the claim, and the statement itself is false apriori. Looking at the complaints from Spamhouse to GoDaddy:
First complaint is about site viptimeclub.ru, which is not a client of Majordomo from december of 2005. Second complaint, according to the company, does not have anything to do with Majordomo. It has to do with a client of Peterhost ISP instead.
Majordomo says that GoDaddy considered unchecked information from Spamhouse.org sufficient to block almost a thousand and a half of domains by changing their nameserver records to: NS2.SUSPENDED-FOR.SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM, NS1.SUSPENDED-FOR.SPAM-AND-ABUSE.COM.
Majordomo was not informed about these actions beforehand. All requests to GoDaddy's tech support at Spam and Abuse Department is answered only with one answer. GoDaddy suggests to pay $199 for each domain to restore or $50 for a domain transfer to another registrar. Another suggested variant - wait for domain expiration date to register it again.
Majordomo is very worried about the situation and tries to resolve it. Owners of blocked domains are preparing a collective lawsuit. That includes not only private owners, companies, but also state-owned organizations of different countries in Commonwealth of Independent States. All clients are offered free domains in zones spb.ru and msk.ru
For a second day ISP is trying to get an answer for unlawful actions of GoDaddy. All they hear back is 'pay up to resolve the issue'.
most of these 'standards' come with a lot of strings attached: implementation of certain pieces of technology, support infrastructure, etc. are patented. patents rule this world. wapi must be well-protected by chinese corporations, while its alternative is probably surrounded by a patent mind field that belongs to u.s. companies. it is all about money, as usual.
there are a lot more sophisticated ways of hiding and transferring secret information. including texts, images, video and audio streams, ssl, gpg, tunneling, etc. why would anyone bother with a child games like that?
Boss: Jack, I want this new webserver machine to be up and running as soon as possible Jack, the Gentoo Admin: Yes, sure chief! It will take just a couple of days to compile everything...
Maybe Google should stop working in US since US tortures detainees and invades other contries at its will. Do no evil, you know...
Ultimate goal of all companies is to make money. Period.
Take it or leave it. And please stop braggin' bout it.
Students have been suspended and expelled with shame from universities for their blogs for some time now. Too bad for them they don't live in an English-speaking countries.
Kaspersky Lab has actually hired *nix RAV developers and helped existing RAV users with migration. Good things deserve to be kept and developed further.
it won't solve your problem at all. the article says russia supplies the addresses of 'zombie' pc's, which are all over the world. it's not like russia sends spam in these proportions.
IMHO, people just need to work out! whatever that is - scary-looking gym machines, biking, jogging, skating, rollerblading, having sex (huh, like that one!:-), or play this musical jumping game. Work out! For fun and health!
well. sorry about being rude in my earlier post. i've been living abroad for quite a while now, but each time hearing something 'those evil russians again' based (mostly) on old cold-war superstitions insults me deeply. not that i don't mind/. subjective opinions on subjective opinions of others. in any case, i meant no disrespect to you. once again, sorry for being impatient and rude.
Slashdot Mirror
is $348 million. How do you call it? Inflation!
Given Debian's obsession with renaming everything that is trademarked, I think Java will be known there as Mocha.
The problem is... they should have done it years ago, when the whole .NET thing was in its roots... Now it might be too late.

:-(
just read some comments of a release manager in mozilla's bugzilla - "This is not a major issue, WON'T FIX in current release". Next bug!

As we all know, "Internet is just serious of tubes"... So you can definitely get yourself more internet...
hands up who saw it coming! fud, more fud, and even more fud about competitors is the modern way to do business :-(

whoever gives them more money, gets the default search option. I guess M$ decided not to participate at all.
