And would Australia even be interested in jumping through that extra hoop considering that there are other vendor options available where Australia feels this isn't necessary? The price difference between Huawei and other vendors would have to be fairly sizable to warrant that.
It is. Depending on how well you negotiate with various vendors, it can be half the price of Cisco, AlcaLu, Juniper, etc.
All my NOC knows how to do is open tickets, escalate them to engineering, wake me up in the middle of the night for false alerts, and generally annoy customers.
Plus this cetacean NOC works for fish! Where can I sign up to get him on board?
I'm sorry but; 50g's is a lot of money. Missionaries collecting that just from family and friends? I take it you live in Manhattan?
My brother has raised about that much over the last few years for a charity he runs that builds schools & orphanages in rural Africa, and he lives in suburban Virginia.
I think the OP's point wasn't that he *couldn't* raise $50k, it was that he *didn't feel he needed to* until ABC put up this arbitrary barrier to being included in their debate.
If the Chinese govt machine wants in to your telecom network then they'll get in one way or another.
It's just a choice between giving them a knob and having their hordes of crackers get the information they need. If they can crack the DoD, then telecom networks should be a walk in the park for them.
Personally I think this is a step in the wrong direction from a trade perspective. It really sends the wrong message.
What I find interesting about all this is that the Chinese were reverse-engineering Cisco stuff for decades to find the US gov't backdoors in it, but rather than doing a backroom teardown of Huawei gear to definitively *prove* that there are backdoors (probably in the Lawful Intercept code) , the US authorities simply *assume* that they *are* there and are acting accordingly. As seems to be par for the course these days, methinks that precious few tech types were consulted in this decision...
"It is extremely unusual for YouTube to block a video in any country without it being a violation of their terms of service or in response to a valid legal complaint"
You mean like them blocking Nazi videos (including Downfall parodies) from being viewed in Germany?
Well, this means that NOW I can submerge reliably the whole PC into Mineral Oil without fear of oil getting into the only moving part, the hard drive. Can't wait to try this out!
This "dextr" thing looks horrible. We have a vertical-layout "abcdefg" keyboard on a couple of labelmakers here that looks just like this app, & I want to throw the damn things across the room each time I have to use one (so much so that we replaced them with qwerty units, not that I actually smashed one to get that to happen or anything...).
It takes me twice as long to bang out a label on one. If the letters were all in a line then it would be easy to find the one you're looking for, as humans are accustomed to alphabetical order. But this is a grid of letters that happens to start with A & end with Z that is not indexed with anything people are familiar with, and it has more than three rows so it's even harder to find the letter you're looking for than on a qwerty, even for someone unfamiliar with qwerty. Hell, I bet I could create a message by selecting individual letters with the iPod's "album" scroll wheel interface faster than with this damn thing.
Intelligent virtual keyboard solutions like Swype are the answer to the occasionally-needed keyboard on a touchscreen device. This is certainly not.
I recently bought a pair of those glove-like shoes (where each toe gets its own slot) that doesn't fit my feet very well.
First of all, make sure you didn't get a knock-off. The Vibram five finger shoes are cloned so much that they've been used as a case study for how counterfeiting (ehm, counterfeeting?) starts & how to prevent it.
...after you wipe them, and buy a real NAS like a ReadyNas, Synology, etc. smallnetbuilder is a great resource for this. Alternatively, use FreeNAS and build your own, with recent drives.
As of today 3.6 will no longer receive any security updates. So all of you netbook/low power users need to find an alternative, or bite the bullet.
Well, I switched back to Camino after the better part of a decade once they ended support for 3.5 as it still works just fine on my PBG4 under Tiger...
I still use two PPC Macs regularly, one of which is a PBG4 I've been quite reticent to upgrade to Leopard, the last supported OS X on these machines. Running the Firefox PPC Mac builds of 3.6 has worked for me, but about a month ago I decided to have a look at Camino again, for the first time in years & years.
On this older machine, it's a hell of a lot more stable, & faster too. I've been running it for a month with no lock-ups. It doesn't have NoScript (my primary reason for sticking with FFX) but the flashblock functionality works fine. I had forgotten how nice all of Camino's various OS X integration features are. If it had NoScript I'd replace FFX with it on my newer Intel Mac too.
The one change that would make the single largest improvement to the issues Africa is facing would be that all religions, politicians, etc. EMBRACE the condom. Not just tolerate it, but actively promote it.
It would ease overpopulation, reduce the spread of AIDS, decrease the number of single mothers, orphans, and abortions, etc. etc. etc.

In Soviet Russia, SSD fscks YOU!
Or, if you're this year's GOP presidential candidate, you could just handle both sides of the debate by yourself.

Just goes to prove that a sufficiently talented grant application writer can get a research grant for just about anything...
BTW, what happens when they give the monkeys THC and then turn on the device? Do they stop craving pop-tarts & crappy comedy movies or something?

Ever heard of SSDs?
Funny, that's about the ratio for health care costs in those two countries as well...
Possibly as significant is the discovery of a +5 Inf 1st post...

Well, hotmail^W live mail doesn't support IMAP either, so no big surprise there...
Previously windows users either had to buy Outlook or go download something else like Thunderbird or whatever.
No, Outlook Express doesn't count...

Sounds to me like a hearing to gather ammunition to use against the Obama administration during the upcoming election campaigning...
Don't forget the 4th one: the stock market...
Seriously, what the fark is this doing on ./ ?
