Sometimes that compatiblity thing does work. I refused to buy a new 40G tape drive to backup a 500M directory. So I installed a floppy drive (also parallel port) based tape drive in WinXP that way with a couple other tricks. A distinctly unsupported device used by an unsupported program in XP that eventually worked. My old backup software refused to even install under XP without the compatibilty turned on.
What is with these 10-15 year plans they are implementing?
What kind of equipment do they use that will be acceptable 10-years from now? We got rid of our minicomputer 10 years ago and (finally) moved to PC. If we were still trying to build anything with what we replaced it with (486 and with a pentium 100 server? running dos) I imagine we would have all kinds of IT problems too.
Although the old Wang did run for 10+ years itself, green screens in the SVGA era was kinda depressing. Portable media (13MB) that wouldn't fit in a briefcase. 512k for the entire office to share:)
10 years later we have what would have been supercomputers then and can fit several 40GB tapes in my pocket. I can't imagine having to span that period with one IT plan.
Me thinks they need smaller shorter upgrades in pieces or you never get to the endpoint:( I can't imagine what I would have thought up for a 10-year plan that would have remotely resembled reality, hehe.
And this will work better than reporting regular crimes how?
If they are no bodies the cops don't care unless maybe you are a multichain store. The cops get no revenue from a lot of legwork, good luck. If there aren't drug profits or ticket revenue i wouldn't hold my breath.....
An employee stole thousands in merchandise that was found in his garage and nothing happened. I have yet to have something bad happen to me or work (or the office or apt next door) that was actually solved except the one WE knew the answer to and that wasn't even prosecuted. Why would we have any higher hopes for cybercrime?!?
Hell we have unenforcable telemarketing/spam laws already. I got an illegal and scamming phone call but i am not able too get the info on where it came from. I am sure they scammed CC from people over the phone. If you do anything other than give them a CC number they hang up. Telco won't even give me a return number to investigate myself, I was thinking of the $500 deal a week before the articles here;) Police certainly didn't care as i didn't lose anything, nor did the phone co. Under WA law it was illegal nonetheless but i can't do a civil suit with no info and authorities don't care.
They DID say this was the equal to a computer didn't they?
Hey slashdot, nice to know the verizon ad is more important than this headline that got covered by their ad:( Not everyone has 193737x23789 monitors yet...or we must use a business app that doesn't scale;/
This only works for the ones that are fairly close to following the law. Not sure how i feel about going after the borderline cases.
The most obnoxious ones are untouchable. If they don't give you the name of the organization like they are supposed to you have no way to find it or even the phone number:(
I tried to track down one that was using an autodialer and message to pitch a obvious credit card scam. I pressed 9 to get a person, between message and person i still had no idea who it was. No one cares that these guys are breaking the law (several of them in WA which is pretty strict). Telephone co won't help and cops don't care unless there is 10k or a body on the line:/ Trying to get help from phone comapny was more frustrating than the scammer calling so..........
Nice in theory but there is no way to stop the ones that really need to be stopped.
hehe county auditor pulls website cause the paper found some land wasn't listed. Saying thank-you and sending out the tax bills would have been to efficient;p
hehe, we are here but usually know enough to keep quiet;)
Actually i buy virtually no new music anyways. I don't remember the last time a bought a 'new' CD and have only bought a couple new LPs lately. I did buy a bunch of new CDs, as well as used, from ebay but it was store rejects mostly. There is usually a couple good jazz albums in the lots and my buddy likes the free rap ones i give away. Then give the christian rock to my neice and i have made use of 10 albums from a $25 lot.
The 2 most expensive ones lately were a 9 year-old CD popular/rare enough to still go for $25 and a Quad 8-track same thing.
The part about background vs foreground was great. I end up with a bunch of mediocre music thats is good for background when i am in and out of the room etc. Foreground music is mostly my old record/tape collection or a batch of used CDs of classic rock when i am too lazy to clean and flip LPs:)
Vintage music on vintage vinyl on a vintage stereo...least i haven't bought anyone in the music industry a new limo in a while:)
We can talk quality all we like but my twentysomething buddy didn't even notice the music he liked was playing from an 8-track the other day. Ok, i did have 2 12-band EQs and a dolby box hooked up to filter hiss but still;)
------------------
As for the question at hand.
Perhaps they could start doing collectable covers, multiple versions for same album, then they can get people to buy multiples of same one on purpose:O
Between the summary talking about grey-market and a bunch of you not having a clue.....
They seem to be talking about actual counterfeits, they may be entering the market via grey-market channels and getting mixed back in with the regular and/or real grey-market stuff.
What little meat there was seemed to say there were cisco cards that had the wrong chip or something that was diferent. That and don't buy cisco cards from a dude in china...duh
"I opened up the merit-badge book, and lo-and-behold, one of the requirements to obtain the merit badge was for scouts to be able to understand and give examples of piracy, whether it was burning CDs or P2P"
So i can't help scouts with their computers if i don't know about P2P?
I had better get to practicing;p Honest your Honor, I was only educating myself so i could help scouts:)
Zonk's title is actually more accurate than the original !
hehe, sounds interesting but a bit overhyped. Seems like a long way from a 2-dimensional version to 3. I am not even sure what one would see using 2 dimensional version, how do you hide 2 of 3?? Would not that leave only a line, but with no width you can't see the line, but then it would be complete but its not so.....
Even if, as i imagine, many of the linux clients aren't exactly top end CPUs. Usually it seems the top-end GPU is as complex as the top-end CPU of the time. I know the transistor count was close when i built my last complete setup. Surely my 1.6 P4 (soon-to-be-linux box) get trashed for complexity/throughput by a new video card by now:(
That and like others said a targeted client and screaming memory for the GPU is gonna rock. Would be closer if the CPU client was aimed at a particular one, but noone is gonna make a dozen general clients to cover each generation and brand of CPU to best use each little feature.
"Of people on welfare who have children, only 10% have more than 4 kids."
only? ((and it is 4 or more actually in link, your statement makes sound even worse than they are!!))
What percent of all people with children have more than 4?
only thing i found from census bureau: "In 2005, 10 percent of the nation's households contained five or more people, down from 21 percent in 1970. During the same time period, average household size declined from 3.14 to 2.57 people."
Since not all of that 10% of households with 5 or more will be single parents , you ARE saying that welfare moms have MORE kids than average !
That fails to dispute the previous poster. Nice try 10% did sound small...
hehe, can't wait to see what my mom does when they kill her kitchen tv that has been setup for the last 20? years. Battery died a dozen years ago but the (B&W!) tv is still hanging in there fine. Take the soaps away from too many of these people and you may have problems;)
I am confused on all this now, can't imagine how parent etc will handle it:(
Do new TVs recieve both? If i buy a new TV now will it be obsolete in 3 years? Does a TV that says 'digital' work for over-the-air broadcasts now?
Slashdot Mirror
Anyone else know if this works?

I thought only 10% of Xboxes were online with a presumably better service. How on earth can one assume that all PS3 will magically be online?
Must be that irresistable must-have online game... oh wait.....

I actually called the 'waste management' company to ask about a monitor after reading one of these articles.
Answer: Toss it in trash !!
I didn't really think incinerating those was a good thing but he didn't give me any other choices to work with
At least the battery recycling is close.
Everyone (and then some!) is gonna know those sounds.
:)
Even my cat knows the windows shut-down sound means bedtime !!
They don't have one they can turn on for new years?
:(
:)
One would think just for curiousities sake someone would have tried it by now. Does the simulator go to a blue screen if ya play on new years?
hmm, perhaps they know it doesn't work well
PS. The calender on my 70's computer is complete to 2030. A tad optimistic on Wang's part perhaps
"The patent covenant only applies to software that you develop at home and keep for yourself;"

Just because Blair's buddy is a bully doesn't mean he has anything to do with the game.
Oh well, never stops the gov't types from forming a committee to look busy.
Think of the children, well the 16 and 17 year-olds that have never seen a bully, since it's rated 15 and up already.
Is the world coming to an end?

Sales would not be hurt by having a name that is pronouncable should one want to go to a store and like ASK for it

I am all for catching the bad guys, but you have to KEEP them to do any good ya know.
"Which of the words above (or in any part you quoted, or in the article yourself) is "Flimsy"?"
;)
Light
I checked a thesaurus...... Flimsy is listed under Light and Light is listed under Flimsy
Good enough for me.
Not to mention Plasticy does not appear to be a word, so I define it as Flimsy (2 to 1 so would the author)! Prove it means something else!
Maybe you should check one before you tell others to do so
That does sound impressive.
