So that opens up another type of attack.
Merely flood the area with signals in a wide spectrum of bands - interfere with the cameras. Instant DoS.
They may be saying that, but I doubt they haven't taken that into account. It's just a decent enough reason for the public. I agree, though, just another company spreading hype.
True enough. I was thinking of it from the storage standpoint - NSZ$50 for 1MB of email storage. I didn't apply the $50 to sending mail until after I commented.
No, I think spam would still have happened. But it would have killed off public email. Email would be purely an internal business thing - away from the space (and money) hogging spam.
Nowhere did I state I hadn't heard of Bobby Fischer. However, I would say that inventing a *new version of chess,* along with his other claims, after he'd been on the run for years indicates a level of instability.
I personnally don't even think the US should prosecute him, but that really had nothing to do my comment on the article. For that matter, neither did your flame against me.
What this says to me is he is suffering from serious delusions of grandeur, probably inspired by his need to run and hide for so long and proving himself the second time.
Frankly, I have yet to see an implementation of a motherboard-based RAID 0 array ever provide a noticable increase in performance compared to the hit your CPU takes to implement it. If you want performance off of that, take a hardware RAID card.
That said, IMO, looking for performance out of an IDE RAID array is futile. There are rare cases, or people who have two screaming drives in RAID 0 and a perfect setup, but for the most part IDE and RAID aren't for performance - the drives and common file usage aren't built for it. They're for redundancy. You want performance, go SCSI, than you can use your bandwidth.
I use my SATA RAID controllers off my motherboard JBOD, and have a 3-disk (for now) Promise setup in a my file server running RAID 5.
There is always a cost involved in migration.
Over time the cost of migration is regained by increase in productivity and interoperability. ...The cost of maintaining 2 distinct sets of tools... for 50 years and going would... be much higher.
True, but that cost is spread out over 50 years. Converting has a cost that is spread over 1 year or less. It's far easier to deal with an additional year of compliance costs than to allocate an immense amount to enact governmental or corporate standards when both types of organizations have so much on their respective plates right now.
Metric has those traits nearly universally, and we're seeing some aspects of the metric system more often in everyday life.
But the sheer cost in productivity of shifting to the metric system, when nearly every North American office and person has the SI system encoded on a near-genetic level, would be astronomical. The US "failing to meet the expectations of the global economy" (see article) by using SI units of paper is a little extreme of a comment. Whatever it costs to deal with the differences, it would cost more to enforce unilateral mindset change - in money, time, and even more. We'll just wait as the units slowly creep into more and more aspects of everyday life.
Then again... I work with engineers. I always see and hear these units.
Adblock is wonderful, especially as Mozilla and Firefox get more popular and therefore web page code gets optimized more for them as well.
That said, I think the time where expecting companies to care for the sensibilities of dial-up users is long past. The people these sites target are in marketing categories called "early adopters" to "mainstream" (technically it's called something else, but I don't recall) - that being the the groups of people who adopt new products early, and show the way to others. These people already have cable on a statistically significant level, and so dial-up users will get ignored in favor of the promotion techniques that work on the target.
With the amount of lawsuits SCO is involved in right now, I doubt this one will result in the exposure of evidence any sooner than the others. It's far more likely that this case will be put on hold pending the results from other cases.
I acknowledge that this is mostly unrelated to the other cases, but lawyers aren't geeks, and will be able to make the leap and get this put on hold.
I took a look at a friends new Dell to make sure it was as secure as a XP-Home Dell box could be, and I was marginally impressed. Dell, at least, shut off the Messenger service before giving it to him.
They did forget to set the anti-viral software they provided to autoupdate, though.
Other test objectives during the fourth drop test included evaluating SpaceShipOne's hybrid rocket motor controller, with Melvill checking out the "Arm," "Fire," and safing switches as well as the oxidizer dump valve.
Yes sir, them there switches work. They aren't connected to anything!
Welchia had a flaw that is easily fixed. Simply propagating less effectively would've gotten rid of it's DoS effects.
Now the fact that after patching the PC, it opened up another hole in PCs it was on, to allow backdoor access by the creator of welchia, is a different story. That's not "white hat" by my definition of the word.
Frankly, I've never had much of a problem with spam. A simple solution of using four different mailing accounts, and only using the two web-based ones for any potential spamming online forms, has taken care of all of my spam problems, without even a need for a filter.
Go figure - the only email address with huge amounts of spam was the one I created on hotmail for a lark. It got loads spam from MSN before I ever even used it.
I did a case study on that particular reactor incident. I recall that the major issues and causes related to it stemmed from extremely obscure old military style markings and documentation. In particular, the directions to put control rods back in were... literally - "Do the reverse of the directions to take the rods back out."
Obviously, that didn't work as planned.
But it really wasn't the reactor as much as the... end users.

While I don't necessarily agree with you, that sounds like the minimum requirement from Sarbanes-Oxley. They probably don't have a choice.

It may seem a simple matter of genetic engineering to I may be getting old, but when did even basic genetic engineering become "simple"?

Nothing scares me more than the end users I've supported who "can't live without" Gator.
"Oh, I install it on every computer I can touch! It's so useful!!!"
Not to mention the entire office where everyone swears by Comet Cursor.
