While having total control of your surroundings with a single remote control sounds fine and everything, one thing it will not make any easier is getting laid. In fact, I would dare say that the man is going to find it considerably harder to get his weiner whacked by someone other than himself.
Trend Micro is not a patent troll, they are a legitimate company who patented a process that they developed. Now they are exercising their rights as a patent holder. So why the hate? This is what the patent system is designed to do.
Peer review every single paper published by Lucas, since I highly doubt that this incident of plagarism was the first, nor will it be the last.
We need this type of thing done in the classrooms

Hand-Made Vacuum Tubes

· Score: 5, Insightful
While vacumn tubes are strictly in the realm of hobbyists and zealous audiophiles, nevertheless it is important for teens and young adults to understand where the electronics industry started from. They're already made to study what can argueably be considered useless information, so why not study something that is cool and informative as well? Think of it as shop class for nerds.
why don't you give them a job when they get out, instead of just throwing money at them? That would simultaneously make amends and give China a big Fuck you.
Considering that Stave Jobs ripped him off in 1975 when he got the Woz to help him optimize Breakout at Atari, and then paid him 7% of what he made, instead of the 50% they had agreed on.
I use VMWare Workstation and Virtual PC to do testing and whatnot, negating the need for multiple systems in my home office. I have, for example, Windows XP Pro, Windows 2000 Pro, OpenBSD, FreeBSD 5.5 and FreeBSD 6.2 all set up as seperate virtual systems on a single computer.
Who needs a compile farm when most of what we need can be run from a single moderately decent workstation?
Hi, I am solely responsible for a 200 user network over 2 floor, and assist in the support of a 100 user network in another city. For the first year, I busted my ass to implement my 3 point program. Those points are:
1) Standardization 2) Automation 3) Redundancy
1) Standardization.
The more they are the same, the easier it is to administer. Try to have the same hardware and image for each department. Use ghost like its going out of style. Use standard naming conventions. The borg naming convention is NOT standard. Keep all images as close to the same as possible
2) Automation
Use all tools available to you. If its a microsoft network, use Group Policies, login scripts (vbscript, launched from the GPO), and roaming profiles. Make sure clients are auto configured when they login for the first time (use Office Deployment wizard when doing the ghost images). Make sure you lock them down as well, so they can't break anything. This should reduce the overall client administration to nil.
3) Redundancy.
Virtual Server. Download it, install it, embrace it. Setup a minimum of 2 virtual host servers, preferabbly 3. Make sure you have a large capacity nearsite backup and have the virtual file systems backed up nightly. That way, if one virtual host server has a hardware failure, you can bring the servers back up in a matter of minutes, not hours.
Thats a real simple summary of how I am able to single handedly support 200 users, both client and server. If you have any more questions, please contact me at earlaker at lukewarmmail.com (replace lukewarm with something warmer)
You have no concept of ownership. Cash is exchanged for a physical product, and it legally becomes mine. I can do whatever the heck I want with it, as long as I do not violate copyright. A violation of copyright occurs if I make copies of the digital contents of the physical product which I legally own and try to resell or redistribute them. The content is not a physical product, therefore illegal copying is not legally defined as theft, only copyright infringement.
Again, there is no lease, and no amount of revisionism will change that.
When I buy a music CD, I am buying a physical product, not a lease. I exchange my money for a physical product, and it becomes mine. I also have the right to make a working copy of that particular CD, and resell it as it is a physical product which I legally own.
There is no lease, so quit trying to propogate that kind of bullshit.
They'd get alot more attention if they did a gpl'ed version that was free and available as a torrent. This is nothing more than a not so subtle attempt to pump the number of installs that they can claim are currently running. Marketing ploy anyone?
Lets combine the quality and reliability of cellular service with the quality and reliability of VoIP. Remember kids, degradation of signal is additive. Crappy VoIP connection plus crappy cellular signal = really really crappy call.
Its an interesting idea, but a little too early to be taken seriously.
Just like the best way to prevent pregnancy is abstinence, the best way to prevent intrusion is to eliminate the avenue that they get in. While it is not feasible to simply deny your users access to the internet and email, you can prevent them from installing material which otherwise might cause a hacker to gain remote access. A conbination of whitelisting sites and denying certain address blocks from sending you email goes a long way.
In short, comprehensive intrusion detection and prevention is only needed on an open network.
You should be asking "Which company can we outsource our I/T needs to?". Parking your servers in a remote location will not reduce your overall costs, it will only increase your potential downtime. Why? Because you are introducing another point of failure. That point of failure is between your business and the datacentre you have outsourced to.
If you value your data, keep it internal and outsource the support to a solution provider like EDS, IBM, or any of those big firms. They will provide the expertese necessary to supply and maintain the hardware and software for you so you can concentrate on your core business.
It won't be cheaper, but you will be able to easily quantify the yearly I/T costs which will make the accountants happy, and you will be able to pull the necessary funds from a different piggy bank, keeping your payroll low.

So at that speed, how long do you think it'll take be be cut off for 'excessive use'? I'd give it 5 minutes, tops.

Actually, Jobs told him he made $750 and split that two ways. So yes, 7% is fairly accurate.
Considering that Stave Jobs ripped him off in 1975 when he got the Woz to help him optimize Breakout at Atari, and then paid him 7% of what he made, instead of the 50% they had agreed on.
you work for Skype, don't you?
then why does the free version run under Windows?
I wonder if they can stream his smell, or is that too technologically advanced even for us?

So all you really did was put more of a load on hotmails spam filter.
Cool!

Thanks to the Blaster virus, I'm getting married in 2 days. See, viruses aren't all bad.
Since when does having multiple distributions constitue "fragmentation"? Its still the same core OS, just with different packages and installations.
They'd get alot more attention if they did a gpl'ed version that was free and available as a torrent. This is nothing more than a not so subtle attempt to pump the number of installs that they can claim are currently running. Marketing ploy anyone?
I take offense to that, as I am not American.
Why did select scenes from Gattica suddenly pop into my head?
