Agree whole-heartedly. My juice goes down a few times per year (usually for longer than the 2 hours my UPS's can keep me up). My DSL goes down every couple of years. Redundant power would be more valuable to me than redundant ISP's.
How do you know the prof didn't use pine to read the email? No one would ever know if I read an email. Once the email has been received by my mail server, no one knows (except me) if it got read & saved, read & deleted, or just deleted.
I'd mod u up if I could. I think it is better to spend where it counts. I bought a decent sized solar array that will take nearly forever to pay for. But by buying it, it makes a bigger market for solar, which pushes research into cheaper solar, which may get solar cheap enough some day. I think the key is to buy things like panels, high eff. A/C & heat, low energy lighting etc to push corp world to make these objects in mass. If it is profitable to be green, we will be green.
Why is there even an article on this? Obviously if your a foreign entity and suddenly whoever was holding your data went to war with your country, your data is their data now. Iraq proved we can go to war practically overnight. I've never thought it was a good idea to outsource email. Why in the world would you outsource your computing as a normal course of biz? Basically I have one immutable tenet, without phyiscal security you have no security. Translation, if my data is not sitting on my property, I have no idea what happens to it.
I've found filtering on sender IP to be very effective. Greylist IP's that don't match sender domain name, blacklist all unknown sender IP's and all dynamically assigned IP's. (Real companies don't use an ADSL or cable dynamic IP address). My latest tweak (and I'm not excited about adding it) is to do a check of the nameserver for the domain. If it is domaincontrol.com, I dump it. I guess the spammer's have figured out some of the registrar's will collude with the spammers for the 10 bucks per domain. After all that, I get 5 spam's per week(max) and have not had complaints of bounced mail. Because it is not examining content, it is very fast as well.
While alternative energy is expensive, I have to wonder what happens to conventional energy costs when you start factoring in trillion dollar wars to keep the fuel sources available. Imagine how many solar panels, hydro plants and wind turbines could have been purchased with one iraq?
is paid for by taxpayers. NIH and universities do an awful lot of the research that big pharma repackages into drugs which we pay obscene amounts for. Also unfortunately, big pharma commissions lots of study's and only publishes the ones that are favorable. How many times do I have to read about a new drug that had prior studing buried by NDA's that showed it was lethal, but the study wasn't shown to the FDA. I appreciate the drug companies do some good work. It's a pity it is clouded by all the bad things they have done. I'd also like to prescription drugs prohibited from advertising on TV/web.
As several posters have pointed out, Russia's fortune's have shifted and oil is making them serious rubles. We on the other hand might want to think about supplementing NASA with some tourists since we are broke.
Because the bush administration tortured people in violation of the geneva convention, will you hand over bush, cheney, rice, powell, ??? to the hague for trial for crimes against humanity as required by international law?
So does this mean next time someone pulls into my driveway to turn around I can sue the pants off of them? God what has ever happened to common sense? If I REALLY want my road to be private, put up a frickin gate & fence. If I really really want privacy, put up a electric barbed wire fence. I'd never make it as a judge. I'd be tar-ing and feather-ing people all day.
Have you checked out the trade imbalance lately? We make very little these days. We do each other's nails at the spa is about all. We need to improve our manufacturing again and at least get back to neutral trade. Shoot, I think we even ran short of bullets during our little iraq war and had to get some from britain.
Chip design apps (and I imagine a number of other ones) will likely need 1TB in a year or so. I already know of several companies using boxes with 64G of RAM and the apps are consuming like around 40-50 of it. Designing (& analyzing) those multi-billion transistor designs eat memory. My sw package was designed to allow for ~80G per cell in the hierarchy. Since my system allows 128K cells, thats about 10TB of RAM that could be used. I have even wondered if the 80G limit needs to be increased in the near future.
Dontcha think that maybe its a problem that alot of health care is done on the basis of a donation? Personally, I'd like to see health care as a citizen's right, like most other westernized countries.
Personally, I'd like to see ALL religions lose their tax write off. They have all become soo political that I don't understand why the religion of ? should enjoy tax benefits when others pay. If the donors don't get to write it off, I suspect funding for all religions might drop like a rock. I also think the churches should have to pay prop taxes etc. Most these "dream" churches have millions of bucks in property, buildings and in the case of the mega's, planes, schools, etc. Let them pay like for profit. I can't tell the difference between non-profit/for-profit anymore except a couple of "praise god's".
GoDaddy has a eclectic method of deciding what is/is not spam. I had to have a customer force them to white list me before I could get anything in. After I was put on the "ok" list, everything goes thru. They have been the only email server I've ever had problems with.
While I think the HD players are an excellent cheap up-scaling DVD player, I question there value as a HD player. The catalog is tiny, and more importantly, there will be no new titles. So if I want the latest new release on a HD format, its blu-ray or nothin. I know, lots of people think up-scaled DVD's look just as good as HD, I just don't happen to be one of them. So, for me, I'll be picking up the high priced blu-ray media. I do think the war ended too soon. I was getting a lot of mileage out of the BOGO sales, which have vaporized as you could predict. Oh, and for those that will mention HD downloads, I'm already rolling on the floor with laughter.
I thought there was already the appearance of a real estate favor with regard to his home adding some property. I suspect he is already corrupt like the rest.
I don't think we could stand another 4 years of anyone as stubborn as bush. One of the things his supporters loved was how he could not be swayed and his sticktoedness. I think it is difficult to judge how much flip-flopping is good, but bush has demonstrated some is absolutely necessary.
I've never used microsoft (or any BSA stuff for that matter) stuff so it has not impacted me at all. Maybe finally the "suits" will have a reason to switch to linux.
I actually can see a difference between HD and BD, and am probably one of the few. Basically, I notice dark scenes in BD are more filmlike. I see a compression in the previous warner products where they used the same encode for BD/HD. Its not dramatic, but I can tell. I'm hoping Warner starts using higher bit rate encodes and lossless audio now that they do not have to fit within the constraints of HD bitrates. So, for me, this quality improvement is more important than the PIP and net stuff that is coming in profile 1.1 and 2.0. So I'm very satisfied with my profile 1.0 player. I don't know why, but if I look at media prices, I've just noticed (and taken advantage of) more sales on BD. List is basically the same for both, but I have not paid list for any of the 50 odd BD's I own. Fry's has lots of sales as does amazon. I've got numerous titles for 14 bucks in BOGO sales. The region coding and extra DRM is no big deal (for me) as I don't watch movies on a computer. I can see how others find this onerous though.
Current BD hadware is running 299, so price difference is almost zero for a 1080P player. Granted, the 1080i HD players are cheaper still. I don't see pricing as a significant advantage for HD, especially considering street media pricing for BD is actually less, and you end up spending more on media than hardware in the end. Those combo dvd/hddvd disks were really expensive.
I am a alittle surprised at slashdot opinion here though. BD is a superior format with higher disk capacity and higher bandwidth. I was surprised to see so many preferring dvd. This is a group I wouldv'e expected to like HD formats in general with an edge to BD. Instead I see numerous people saying that can't even see the difference between hd media and dvd. I've had a HD set for years now getting a BD player this summer and the difference between dvd and bd is very apparent to me.
The NPD sales numbers showed BD sold more disks every week in 2007. Even transformers release week did not sell more HD DVD's. Warner made the correct decision. BD's were outselling HD's by a 61 to 39 advantage YTD07.

Finally a swift competent decision from the legal system on an obvious case. If only the silly patent cases could be dismissed as quickly.
