That means every mail server operator, even the home hobbiest, has to subscribe to some third-party authentication service like domain keys.
Yes, but no.
Only the mail server operators that want to prevent phishing scams targeting PayPal would have to implement "some third-party authentication."
I understand what you are saying, and coming up with a solution that only solves a very specific problem (or subset or a problem) isn't very efficient. But if the big players like google, yahoo, microsoft all did it, then for a relative modest investment it could protect quite a few people from basic attacks.
How do we know the letters that were sent to the service providers weren't spoofed by scammers???
Maybe the scammers have setup their own "DomainKeys" or whatever that Yahoo thingie is? Then who'd be laughing? Well, I guess probably somebody over in Nigeria, or possibly ~37 kids down in a basement in Oregon...but then again who am I to speculate?
I haven't read the article or Yahoo!'s terms of agreements, but what does unlimited *really* mean? Not that I would want to, but just say I automated a script that went around the net and automatically send email with pseudo random pics/video's/other large media as attachments. Or I sent nightly backups of my entire filesystem (I know bandwidth becomes a limiting factor, but still).
How much "stuff" do I have to start throwing in my inbox before they raise a red flag and either ban the account or throttle my upload speed? Unlimited is a tricky word. It can actually mean different things (kinda). For instance I can say I allow unlimited refills at a restaurant, but it really means unlimited for that day. When they close and reopen the next day you'll have to buy another cup to get your "unlimited" refills.
All that to say, I'm sure that somewhere there are probably clauses that will greatly restrict their definition of "unlimited." Does anyone know what/where they are?
It would still take quite a few before you would start getting close to fully saturating a PCI Express card, but just imagine if you could.
I know there will (probably) always be a performance gap between RAM and your mass storage, but hopefully this will begin to close the gap. I see many applications greatly benefiting from this type of setup/technology.
Hold on, I'm confused...is this side conversation about rate of depreciation or about the overall purchase?
Also you are (a little off) base on your diamond comment. *Most* diamonds behave as you describe, but rare (as mentioned in this article) diamonds are actually pretty stable. Meaning your flawless 1ct diamond will depreciate, but a 8ct yellow diamond will probably fare (a little) better...
Nope, its relative. There is a huge income gap across the world's population, there is no denying that. But I'd be willing to bet (since your using the internet) that you've got "disposable" income and that you've probably bought something that wasn't necessary for survival (ie do you have an iPod or cellphone or computer or car or...?). It may seem unfathomable to spend a million dollars on a laptop to you (and me), but spending even $5000 on a car when there are people that are starving can seem just as extreme.
So yes, the numbers are larger, but the concept remains the same. There are people who purchase non-essential goods and people who are starving. Is there a magic number of when it becomes "a sign of corruption"? I for one do not want to be responsible for setting it, probably because I do wish I had the cash to be able to purchase such a machine...and also donate to charity as well.
Nope, points are still valid and evidentially you don't actually know what unlocking your phone really means. It only has to with removing the lock to a particular (GSM) provider, nothing to do with features. You were correct about the CDMA vs GSM thing...but you're still wrong in general.
Besides, you were complaining about being stuck with crappy providers. Guess what your still stuck with using your $10 phone? I'm not going to defend the US carriers, but have you actually been over and Europe and used their networks as a basis for comparison? Or are you just playing the/. friendly "US carriers suck" card?
One last little comment. If you are worried about spilling water on your high dollar phone and making it a paperweight, then take out an insurance policy on it. It'll only cost a few dollars a month, but if it helps you sleep at night then I'd think it would be worth it...I'm currently doing this.
But here in the USA, where the phone is tied into the provider, it's just stupid.
For someone so quick to call others morons, I'm going to call you out. Because evidentially you are too stupid to figure out how to unlock your phone. Otherwise, you could be cool and smart just like all of those people in Europe.
Kids, just remember that roughly 9 times out of 10 people that call others stupid/idiots/morons are in fact one themselves.
One more thing. There is a big difference between the phones that cost $600 and the >$10 phone that you sport. Just because you don't need/want the features that those phones have, doesn't make them pointless.
You sir/mam, remind me of a proverb: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
And yes, a cluster of 2 boxes is often the smallest deployment you can consider from a failover standpoint.
Ok, you've really got my stumped here. I've been thinking about this for a while and I can't imagine a deployment smaller than 2 that would be able to survive a failover.
Should somebody earning a business degree take music appreciation?
All of your other examples had a direct correlation. I'm not knocking music appreciation, but it does seem like more of a stretch than the others.
Anyway, the real question/headline should be "Is Assembly Programming Still Relevant to Mainstream Developers, Today?" and the answer is simply no. Because that analogy would be something more like:
Should an elementary school teacher have an MBA so that she can understand the inner-workings of the business environment of her school system in order to be able to more cost effectively teach her students in a manner that maximizes her usage of government funding?
You made some other good points, but I'm just too lazy to comment on those.
Sure, we have lots of anti MS people, but that does not mean we are all mindless drones who cannot discuss any other current affairs.
Speak for yourself...
All joking aside, there are pretty much 4 categories of people on/.
1) Intelligent people who make insightful comments
2) The mindless drones that you referenced earlier
3) Complete idiots
4) People who make fun of #2 & #3, or #1 if they get tired of making the same snide remarks.
I tend to jump between #1 and #4. Being #1 takes time, effort, thought and diligence. Being #4 only takes a keyboard.
Hold on, is this one of those philosophical political type of statements?
Don't you know this is/.?
Unless you have a completely biased, un-supported claim that somehow reverts back to Bill Gates being the anti-christ, then your on the wrong site.
Take your insightful intellectual conversation elsewhere.
Do people still print? I don't, unless you mean print to file. Just about everything I do, I try to get it in digital form. I then store it in a place that is routinely backed up...soo much easier to search from something that is indexable.
Ok, that was written 1/3 truth, 1/3 sarcasm and 1/3 trolling. But seriously, I think my generation and the following generations are going to want to print less, so maybe by the time they actually get printing figured out it will be a non-issue.
Just wanted to say that was a very well written post with an insightful counter to the parent's argument. Don't you know that all/. arguments have to overly biased rants with no substantial evidence to support any of their points???
Well, then they would still know the time and place. They could figure out a proximity from the router and begin the search from there. Posting "do you know who I am" won't warrant a full blown search just as blogging about what you and your friends did last night. But if you were leaking high profile information and the parties involved had the time and/or resources, then I'm sure there are ways to find this type of stuff out.
For all you pointy tin foil hat people out there, you've only got as much anonymity as you want to believe that you have. If your not doing anything "wrong" (a subjective term) then you might actually have as much anonymity as you believe, but start messing with other people and you'll soon find out that there IS someone smarter than you out there and despite your best efforts, you *could* be found out.
Not really that much change => Not really that much death
But death is death nonetheless. Its an obsession with not changing. (Some) old people suck. But the good thing is that we all eventually die, along with our habits both good and bad. Hopefully the good ones will pass down to the next generations and the bad ones just stay in the ground.
You forget that IPv4 to IPv6 requires change. I'll admit that change can be painful and costly, but *most* of the people who have any decent amount of control over the adoption view change and death as one in the same. They would seriously rather die than to have to...change. Hopefully that will be something that my generation will handle a little more gracefully, but then again by the time I'm old and gray I'll probably rather hop in my flying car and listen to Brittney and Justin while complaining about how there isn't any good music nowadays.
gMail is pop. As slick as the interface is, I really like working with IMAP or even Exchange servers. It is nice for all of my devices to be in sync. I hate checking email on my phone, then getting back to gMail and everything I did is (to some extent) lost.
If gMail implements IMAP, *THEN* they will have a much more competitive offereing, at least on the email side of things.
