The fix is in distributing generation so that it's more local to consumption and increasingtheintelligenceofthegrid. If you have local power generation that fulfills a significant part of your needs and have all your electrical uses rated so that stuff gets cut off in an intelligent automated fashion, power outages get much less annoying and you can work around problems like every single refrigerator and HVAC unit turning on at once when power is restored, a problem that really slows down the speed at which the grid can be restored after a major outage.
When IBM bought Sequent they sent a letter to AT&T regarding the Sequent code. The letter specifies that the Sequent code should be handled under the IBM license agreements from then on. AT&T accepted the letter and the matter was settled. Such a letter is permitted under the Sequent contract under section 2.03.
This maneuver is a major loser for SCO and the only benefit that they can possibly get is licensing revenue from people who have too much at stake to risk even the miniscule chance that SCO will win. SCO is engaging in blackmail, building their business plan around it, in fact. They're turning into a criminal enterprise as they've failed at being a computer company.
The problem is that it isn't just a court case but also something akin to corporate blackmail. The Unix codebase is so widespread that even if SCO only has a 1% chance of winning it makes rational economic sense to settle and pay for the likely unneeded licenses if the cost to license is less than 1% of the damages a lawsuit would create.
As long as that money is enough to pay the salaries of the 350 SCO employees, they'll continue this forever. That's not advancing the arts and sciences but engaging in criminal racketeering.
One thing that nobody's mentioned to this point is that adding capacity (transmission lines) has gotten radically harder because of political activists who want to shut down every improvement to power generation and transmission that is proposed. The reasons vary from aesthetics to environmental concerns to outright luddism.
Look at Section 2.03, IBM's modification letter, accepted by AT&T, is valid and thus all the Sequent written code is transferred right back over as it then would come under the terms of the IBM/AT&T license.
Michrosoft has a history of screwing developers. They lied about a lot of things along the way and have developed an ample record as a nasty customer. Depending on MS charity is a sucker's wager.
Idiot. You have a legal requirement not to encrypt. Keeping communications secret in that job is breaking the law. There are jobs that require you to give up some rights to take them. That's just a fact of life. Technical encryption means squat in such situations.
Businesses don't matter? That's like saying unions don't matter, PACs don't matter. This started out as a discussion of fundraising. From that perspective everything expenditure is a fundraising expenditure because image creation affects the propensity to write checks and pretty much all expenditures are image creation expenditures right now.
Bush is doing the fundraising he needs right now to stay ahead and he's shifting resources to make sure that other Republicans are able to do the same.
Dean, if he survives, is likely to get pasted in the money race. As for your laughable list, the economy's picking up, the troops are likely going to be in Iraq but not dying at the current rate and I expect positive developments on WMDs reasonably soon.
If they can ban one license they can ban any other license by just creating a list. Admitting the ability of a toolmaker to how you legally license the code you create using that tool means that you no longer own how that code can be licensed.
Is it technically possible to violate the law even with logging? Sure. But you better make sure that all evidence is wiped and your outside confederate is solid because when those investigators start talking about 5-15 in prison for violating information secrecy/insider trading laws you are very likely going to be left holding the bag.
Taking IM off is just keeping the honest people honest.
All communications in brokerages have to be logged and reviewable by management and the government so that people don't pass on inside tips to allow confederates to trade ahead of large moves in a security. AFAIK, MSN simply doesn't come with a "run through central logging server" feature, thus it's illegal for certain companies to have on their network and people run the risk of massive fines or jail time if they ignore the problem.
In financial institutions, you have to log all communications as a matter of law. If there's no logging facility for an IM method, that method has to be blocked or eventually people will go to jail.
Insider trading rules are a bitch but if you can't deal with everything being read by management, don't work for a brokerage or similarly constrained institution.
You don't pay much attention to politics, do you. When the Democrat party controlled the House, businesses gave a majority of their money to them. When the Republicans took over, the majority of money went to them. Businesses give to incumbents in greater amounts than to challengers.
You might have taken the time to look at the individual contributors link in each report. Howard Dean had 10k supporters which is impressive but GW Bush had 20k supporters.
Both candidacies spent ~$4M according to the reports so don't give me any bull about Dean spending $0 to raise money. Candidates go out, impress potential contributors, and a check is written. That's how it's done everywhere in these united states. Travel, venue fees, salaries for workers, rent, electricity, everything costs money but from the finance campaign perspective it's all a cost of raising funds.
Bush spent $3M on those kind of activities and a bit under $1M in check writing to promising candidates. Dean spend ~$4M just on his own expenses. That makes the Bush campaign a better fundraiser in $$$, a broader base (more grass roots), a more efficient fundraiser (expenditure per $ raised is way lower), and a more generous candidate who is more likely to get others of his party elected.
Don't get me wrong, the rest of the Democrats are pretty weak compared to Dean but against Bush? Dean still comes out a distant second place.
No doubt both candidates will pick up more strength, President Bush isn't going full out in fundraising right now and Governor Dean would pick up additional supporters from the rest of the Democrat field as they drop out (if he keeps up his strength).
As a challenger, President Bush raised $193M. The report is here. I don't have any doubt that he will raise far more than that this time around.
What should worry Democrats is the transfers of money out to other committees. Almost a quarter of President Bush's $3M in expenses are such transfers. That means that President Bush is spending less to raise funds and sending money down ballot which will result in some marginal races tipping Republican. I would guess that a lot of money is going to go that route and Democrats are going to have a tough time because of it.
Well screw you too bub. The reviewer didn't note it but that Mac system that works fine talking to Windows uses Samba to talk to SMB/CIFS networks. So maybe the problem is the particular implementation of Samba on the SuSe system tested?
Apple's been known for really harping on the user experience with Linux users scoffing at the anal retentiveness required. In this case it cost Linux a thumbs up review. No doubt other times it will cost a significant amount more.
Either the dictator is being supported by communist money, communist troops, or studied in communist schools. Nobody for the past several decades just decided for the heck of it to try communism. It's clearly been a failure for a very long time.
I just looked through the blog and Howard Dean really seems to be doing a great financial job at keeping up with the Bush/Cheney ticket's 2nd best fundraiser, Vice President Cheney.
Now if Dean's looking to run against Cheney, it makes lots of sense but last I heard was Dean was running against GW Bush for President, and in that contest, Dean doesn't even come close to President Bush's fundraising abilities.
So congratulations to Howard Dean for outpacing all the other Democrats and keeping up with the Republican fundraising B team.
For those out of touch Democrats, that's really impressive. Maybe he'll be back for another shot in 2008?
There are plenty of schools who spend less $ per student, teach the same population, and get better results than the public schools. The bad public schools haven't faced true consequences for shorting their students. The Democrats are desperate to retain the teacher's vote, desperate enough to screw the next generation.
I don't mind spending more money on education if it gives results but I do mind spending money on educational bureaucracy and a broken system where the leeches in administration suck up the money and the teachers either don't care or work themselves to the bone trying to make a bad system work despite itself.
School choice would fix most of these failing schools. The good ones will stay, the bad ones will come under new management.
There are 3rd party parts available for pretty much every car out there without paying license fees to the originating car company. I don't doubt that whatever process they're using would be available to the rest of us.
Actually, you can make a fairly good artificial skin for burn victims this way. They're also working on veins using the technique. You basically have cells suspended in a liquid sprayed through an ink jet nozzle.
No, not the propaganda pieces to sell the system, the little love notes on the death orders to kill the kulaks describing method and encouraging zeal, the messages to strike fear into the hearts of the people, to crush, repress, and terrorize the countryside.
The papers I'm referring to were kept closely guarded until after the fall of the USSR when they were published. That's the real Lenin, the butcher, the tyrant. All you've read is the literary mask where he makes nice as he tries to make us all his slave.

So is it going to be a beowulf cluster or an Appleseed cluster?

An honest comparison of the two candidates fundraising abilities can be seen by looking at their respective FEC reports.
Here is President Bush's
Here is Governor Dean's
No doubt both candidates will pick up more strength, President Bush isn't going full out in fundraising right now and Governor Dean would pick up additional supporters from the rest of the Democrat field as they drop out (if he keeps up his strength).
