So, The Japanese companies and other eastern compaines outsource to China and many of these companies have well produced hi-tech products. They have products that won't show up on the US market for a couple years. Yet they outsource to China. There innovation is working. And with Japan they are nuts about Reliability and Quality. So, what they are buying must be good software. And they are still innovating new things all the time. Just to use that as a comparison to the US.
Will the US really put legislation like that in place???? With all of the lobbyists for those big compaines pushing for off shore work pushing the legislators to all it.
Protective legislation is one of the things that is making the Chinese economy grow so well but it won't happen here. There isn't a strong enough push for it and a lot of money backing no legislation on it.
Maybe our programmers should start making themselves more compeditative than our overseas counterparts. Offer something they can't or work for a compeditative pay.
I have seen some numbers on overseas cost per employee and that is what a few of my programmer friends cost their company. Plus they have offered up things that can't be gotten overseas. They are pretty secured in their jobs and happy.
You have got to watch where the tax hike would come from. The top 10% pay 90% of the taxes. How much more can we hike them before they take their business elsewhere? Then where would we be.
Also, a note was that to get the "balanced budget" the military was cut down to a force smaller than that of pre-perl harbor. Is that something we really want? I sure as hell don't. I like having big guns protecting me.
Ok, for depressions/recessions it doesn't matter who's in office for them to happen. There is a trackable trend to them happening and it's about every 10 years. Doesn't matter who's in the White House. 10 years ago it was papa Bush, before that it was Carter...go back far enough on this 10 year trend you get the great depression. It's an every 10 year thing.
Now also watch out for the cause. Da Pres came into this. It was not his agenda that made this. They say the level of depression/recession was decided a couple years before. At that point it was someone else in office and that other persons policies and agenda running the show.
Just think about it, analyze it a little and the trends pop out at you.
If you were to really look at the theory like I finially did you would see that the holes are so big it leaves little left. I was quite suprised myself at the level of inaccuracy. My first experience with these holes was way before the book...it was with an evloution researcher for a major university who researched so much that he found in his expert opinion that what is out there really isn't true. It's just that few really question it or trace down the who picture.
Ok, so science knows enough about something that is said to have happened billions of years ago that they can tell you what it sounded like. Isn't that quite a bit of a stretch.
Also, evolution disproved, maybe not completely but our theory of evolution full of more holes than all the swiss cheese in the world done easily. Check out the book EVOLUTION CRUNCHER.
I realize that. But it's the most detailed one i know of. It doesn't cover a lot of the great stuff in FreeBSD either. Like how it scales accross multiple processors better.
It would be nice to have an accurate preformance comparison for linux and bsd. For FreeBSD 4.9, Linux 2.4, FreeBSD 5.1 and Linux 2.6

There was something on this that was already on/.
You can find that here and also here
Granted it's the 5.x versions of FreeBSD but still got a good comparison.
iTunes supports more players than the iPod and it supports more formats for your files and allows you to easily convert between them.
It was made for a mac so of course it was made to be easy to use.
iTunes for windows will be great if they are able to keep the same licenseing as for the mac users. Most windows services if you cancel them you no longer have the music you downloaded.
Here's hoping the iTunes for windows keeps the same way of doing things as the mac...then it should have the potential to blow away the competition.
Now if Napster were to offer the same licensing/same price and go on a larger variety of devices then it might have a shot.
This will take mail to a whole new problem. Especially when it comes to isps being able to diagnose problems. Say someone misspells the domain...instead of it coming back saying the domain was bad you will get a user error. How many average users will notice to check that?? I worked tech support for years and from my experience this will be something quite interesting to explain to niave customers until some sort of method or patch is worked out.
And from a mail administrator this just plain blows. I hope the patches are being worked on now. I also hope that bind guys are working on making a more stable patch that might be a better way of bypassing this.
Is this really a good innovation? Maybe IE or other browsers bringing up a search page saying it couldn't find the site and offering options but to put it into the registrar. And what are they going to offer suggestions by??? What companies pay them to be tops on the list?? To have a "service" like this they have to be making money. If it's free to the end user then most likely it's advertisers paying. So, now verisign will choose the options people see when they misspell a domain. I have to say I don't really like that.
and an attach like that would increase traffic thus slowing networks down. I don't really think that would make verisign turn the "service" off. They would turn it on how they are so widely used they are not a target.
Slashdot Mirror
Is there anyone outside the US that gets these kinds of letters from their providers???
Don't eastern (Japan, Sough Korea, etc) countries have faster connections and move even more data then US users do??
Now even portable music players will have loads of viruses.
Next new product....Norton for portable music players.

Are we saying programmers in the US are more innovative than Indian, Russian or other off shore programmers?

Wait....didn't something like this happen in Golden Eye. First prototype helo stolen next there will be trouble in Russia.
It's MTV. It'll all be just teen pop music on their service.
It would be nice to see them actually enforce the list. Levy the fines.

actually freebsd does run on multiple processors. You can find more info at http://people.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html
Does anyone know how any of the BSD OSes stack up against this?
iTunes supports more players than the iPod and it supports more formats for your files and allows you to easily convert between them. It was made for a mac so of course it was made to be easy to use.
THey achieved 80% peak with 128 processors. The more processors you add the more it comes down from peak. No supercomputer achieves peak.
iTunes for windows will be great if they are able to keep the same licenseing as for the mac users. Most windows services if you cancel them you no longer have the music you downloaded. Here's hoping the iTunes for windows keeps the same way of doing things as the mac...then it should have the potential to blow away the competition.

How about optimized support for the 64 bit PowerPC. Not only are they in macs but IBM is going to be building servers with that chip.
