Best logging system for super secure systems I ever heard of.
A good old fashion linefeed dot matrix printer... so a cracker may at some point be able to disable the feed, but if you were tracking them on the way in there's no way to cover their footprints electronically.
Yeah, but the cool about the iHP-320 is that it can host your camera's USB. So you can ahead and offload 20gigs (or 40 for the iHP-340) worth of pictures onto the hard drive and keep snapping away. You get a nice portable ton of storage for alot less than high capactiy flash cards which are still nowhere near 40 gigs.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet... or maybe I just missed it. The real danger of bots is if they can communicate on a backchannel.
Even two bots at a 10 person table gives the program alot of extra information, not to mention the ability to manipulate the bets... put in a 3rd and I don't care how good you are.
Biggest thing for me, I want to be able to offload the shows and watch them on my laptop while I fly. Without that added functionality I'll never buy it. So maybe like those Panasonic DVD burners that were on here a week or two ago.
I agree... I want a Tivo without the monthly costs. Someday I may (but probably won't) get around to setting up a myth box... what I'd rather find is some enterprising intelligent geek who gets it down pat and will sell me one for a reasonable profit.
Given the Linux mentality, this probably means I'll end up with the Microsoft alternative. I don't mean that in a trolling way, I just haven't seen any examples to date of a consumer orientated (as opposed to corporation), for profit implementation of some of the neat Linux tools I read about on Slashdot all the time.
It's there... it's questionably effective as of yet, but I'm sure by the time 1.0 comes out it'll be good stuff.
Unfortunately it's less than obvious and currently re-recommends already applied updates on occassion... but if you're looking for it it's the little blue circle with a white arrow next to the throbber in 1.0PR, forget where it was in.9 but I think it was something else.
Yeah, that is a loss of using beta software. If you're using firefox you're a beta tester, which comes with all sorts of drawbacks like that.
They're at the stage where they make large sweeping changes quickly. Once they hit production they should no longer do that... but until then, it comes with the terroritory... personally I'm amazed, and think it speaks greatly to the quality of Firefox and the lack of quality of IE that Firefox has such a showing in a beta state.
I concur! Once they get to 1.0 they really need to operate that way.
It already sort of works that way now as you mention, but don't forget if you're using Thunderbird and Firefox at this stage you're still using "Technology Previews"... bugs like this one shouldn't really even be that big of a surprise in a.9 release. Starting seeing them in their production releases and the similarities to Microsoft can start.
Actually the check for updates seems to be working in 1.0PR for Firebird and.8 for Thunderbird. I too had problems in the earlier releases, though it did work for some there.
More and more people are going the laptop route... so it helps us I guess.
Also the programability via cell phone and whatnot... all hackable solutions for a geek, but a nice freebie to get in a box.
Now what'd make this something I might actually buy is if I can plug my laptop into it and use it as a regular DVD Burner as well. What'll make this something I'd never go near is if it records in some funky format that only it can read.
Long train commutes. I work in Chicago, and mercifully live blocks from the office, but many of my office mates travel an hour plus on train. If they could combine this with their Tivo's I can imagine it getting alot of play.
Also, if they can host USB on these to offload your camera pics that'd be a nice feature (like the iRiver iHP300 series audio players).
But I think the big one here is for the commuters that don't read newspapers or books.
Use an older and less popular language because the developer you hire is less likely to be faking their skill.
I don't know much of anything about Cold Fusion, when I started it was already on the decline and the price tag kept me from suggesting it to employers... but all I know is that the argument seems seriously flawed to me. Good PHP, good ASP, good JSP all are secure and scale just fine... and they're definitely easy to build on.
Yes, a poorly coded project is a poor product, there's no question about that. But, and call me greedy, I want the best implementation written in the best technology for my problem, not the best implementation written in the language where I'm likely to find the best developer.
Ah, if it were so simple. Once the charges get over a certain amount they start requesting things like police reports, and other information basically designed to prove your honesty.
Am there, doing that. Looks like I won't lose a penny, at least not in direct dollars, but as far as aggravation and time spent running around and arranging paperwork I've lost a bit.
No, an expensive team of hardworking IT staff who are going to take away your admin rights to stop you from screwing up their company network with the latest virus ridden screen saver. You can't even connect a new MS PC to the internet these days without being 0wned in the time it takes you to make a coffee.
BS. First, the expensive team of hardworking staff is going to be in place regardless of what OS you run, and second they're not that expensive.
In regards to your oft repeated "you can't even connect a new MS PC to the internet", I ask... what corporate client would? Almost all corporate settings are going to have a nice firewall between the internet and new computer... and on top of that, any corporate setting of a reasonable size will probably be ghosted with all of the security precautions already in place... or at the very list, the above mentioned expensive IT staff will go ahead and install the patches before plugging in the ethernet cable.
I have limited experience with Macs, and I think they're very nice... but they just don't wash out in the typical corporate environment in their current incarnations. A big part of that is the price point, a big part of that is the lack of software... the security is better, no doubt, but not better enough to overcome those two hurdles.
Did they upgrade? Last year when I tried to get a game they blocked it based on the zip code of my credit card billing address. Which I found odd considering
1)They had no problem charging my card for the game
2)They advertise it as, watch on the road... limey bastards.
Except they don't care about Real at all. They know Microsoft is releasing a music store in the near future, and they want to set precedence against a relatively tiny company rather than go against MS's lawyers. Win or lose, if this is the stance that Apple wants to take, they come out ahead because now they get to test it without having to go up against that insane warchest that is MS.
You know what cracks me up the most about your battery example. They fixed it, with software. And refused to release the firmware fix, instead, they bundled it in a new player.
That's why I think they aren't listening, because they sell you free fixes, and every add on possible... that idea is funny to me.
You'd think so, but you'd be wrong. Cause companies listened, and alot of us now own iRivers or other devices which do what we want them to, and which have companies behind them which actually listen to us when we have complaints.
I have a 140 and it does everything he talked about.
In theory I agree with your argument. But in the world of multi-billion dollar barriers to entry I disagree.
Once a startup needs that kind of cash to even nick the market, you're going to need some type of government help if you want to encourage diversity among the participants.
Classic example would be the phone company, there's just too much money in laying all that cable for a new guy to make any headway without the government stepping in.
My company reimburses up to $40 a month for internet connectivity if you "qualify". Qualifying means you and your manager say you have a legimate need to work from home on occasion.... staying qualified means you actually connect from home at least 3 times a month (loosely enforced from what I can tell).
Odds are everyone here would pay for their own anyway, but it's a nice $500 a year raise for most people, which really doesn't hurt the company and fosters plenty of good will.
Of course, I have a company that very much has the attitude of make the employees happy... because then they do good work. I'm relatively new to the work force, but from everything I can see (and everything I can compare with friends at other companies) it's a very good philosophy.
That's a lovely idea, it's how I watch seasons of shows like 24... cause lets face it, there's no acting genious in any of that stuff, but I still want to know what happens.
I've found I can trim about 7 hours off each season by watching it at a faster bit rate, and really the only thing I ever lose are dramatic pauses.
Would love to see this feature added to my iRiver, slow as they are, it's nice they actually do update firmware on occassion so maybe I'll get lucky.
In the meantime, does anyone know if there's any software solution to the above suggestion? By which I don't mean re-recording my audio stream while playing it back faster, but one which would just re-encode an MP3 or OGG file with time compression?
Think medical imaging. Doctors who can read X-Rays with no film... or pictures of the back of your eye which are as good as what they view in a scope.
$6000 can be made up pretty quickly by eliminating some of this necessity. Not to mention being able to send it half way around the world for review near instantly.
Also there's the obvious issue of professional imagery, or surveillance.
Plenty of applications for a device like this, desktop monitor is just not currently one of them.
