I am just going though some training and one of the hot points is understanding your customer. Making something more difficult for customers (home users and companies that do tech work) is not one of the moves known to improve market share and is in most industries considered a bad move.
This just sounds like a way to work together to get the illegal stuff out faster and with less work from each company. I bet this results in a cost savings for each group involved. Instead of one group at each company doing the work, one group overall does it and the results could potentialy be faster and more accurate.
well I have a 256 node G5 cluster (plus 3 interactive/administrative nodes) all running OS X Server... Also, here in Maine every 7th & 8th grader has an iBook (lots of schools provide them to other grades as well...). OS X server + XServe RAID is a common solution for storage.
Go ahead, gloat a little more. Makeing us all jealous is not a way to make friends.
I personally don't use it but a friend of mine had a solaris system and it died on them. They replaced it for email and web with an OS X server box and have never been happier. It handles the loads with no trouble and was easier to setup and maintain.
What kind of standard could something like this set? Imagine if this caught on and they did it to popular shows such as the OC. Actors get inflated salaries and/or networks make even more $$$.
I hope this never happens for a show just because of the standard it would set.
I would say that most people most of the time are driving by themselves. Especially to and from work. So, now many more people are having conversations while they are driving than there used to be.
I know where I am at one of the things they have attributed to traffic increase is people on their phones. They drive slower so there is more conjestion.
This does show a fundamental lack of decision making going on in many branches of government leadership. No one wants to put forth a goal and be the leader who didn't make it. So, they don't make a goal so that way they just keep the status quo as long as they can and hope the next guy deals with it. No one or agency wants to look bad so to them it's safer to not do anything at all.
I can see the underdog putting up a good fight as most government contractors are bogged down under "red tape" that causes prices to sky rocket. If they run lean on overhead BS they have a shot. Well, as long as the product is good from more aspects than functionality (reliable, maintainable, safe)
A G5 Powerbook would not come until it is announced at a Mac World. We will have to wait at least until after the next one which is later this year.

TiVo to Offer SDK
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
Actually, after RTFA, I disagree. I think the purpose of releasing a SDK is to foster new innovations. From the article:
The company is out to show that the TiVo service "is much more than about DVR," said Howard Look, vice president of application and user experience at TiVo. "All the great ideas don't have to come just from us."
The strategy isn't to address a small community of developers and techs, but rather to generate functionality that can be developed by the Tivo people and pushed to the larger/non-technical population.
I highly doubt it. Popularity comes from making it easy to use and marketing/brand naming. Microsoft, AOL and others have shown that to the average joe six pack it's not about innovation.
I bet these numbers are real and they should show us something.....
That many people still see that you have to use Microsoft Products or that alternatives aren't out there for certain products that are easy for your average joe 6 pack to use.
Alternatives are targeted at the tech savvy and are not marketed well enough. M$ is a marketing machine. Most of our folks have trouble programming a VCR clock. I bet it's very true.
I live in Michigan, US. I want global warming about now. It's about 0 degrees here. The sensor in my tire froze and broke now saying my car has low air pressure in the tires. I step out side and feel my noze hair freeze. BRING ON THE GLOBAL WAMING!!!!!! I need to thaw out.
HOw far can breasts sag in that much time. Is tit worrth living. We have other problems to solve along with this. I bet the divorce rate would reach 100% too.
For many (including military subcontractors and automotive) you bill your time to a contract. Being creative on that is not part of your scope so if you get caught doing something out of your scope with that time you can get in big legal trouble.

Just like Jake 2.0, instead of geeks ruling the world... it would be super geeks ruling the world. Until we get canceled.
Does Anyone know what Intel gets out of not opening it up? Are there any IP issues?

Could there be a star producing waves outside of the renages we are trying to detect?
according to netcraft they are running win 2k for the server.
In the metro detroit area there are actually quite a few bars with free wifi. I could see how it targets the working lunch crowd around here.
If you want security go with BSD. It is more secure and it isn't dead.
My 2 cents. Now go ahead and mod me down.

It may blur the faces but does it blur the b00bs attached to them?
