Too bad all the competing projects do not work together. If the Hubble telescope was 'designed' for docking, it could have been pulled to the ISS and attached. Since the seemingly forgotten ISS needs inhabitant refreshes every so often, the cost for upkeep of both could be lessened - parts could be sent w/the new batch and damaged parts returned w/old.
As others have replied, IBM (and others) will not save SCO from themselves. To send a message. I applaud their efforts. Now, if SCO would have played nice at the beginning they WOULD be absorbed by now (maybe even IBM). What everyone is waiting for now is the Ch11/13 of SCO so they can tear it into pieces and buy the parts they want.
SCO can't allege malice, a necessary element, given the Court's earlier Order.
That is 1 damning excerpt! If the court has ruled that malice cannot be proven, and slander MUST have malice, logic dictates SCO loses again (FUD: courts are not always logical).
Another nice point was Novell's allusions to the Red Hat and IBM cases - kinda like saying 'Since I appear honest and forthright to you, your honor, I wish to state my endorsements of the positions offered by these fine 2 companies in their battle with the plaintiff in OUR case'
Brilliant!!!
In early June, Bush enjoyed a commanding lead over Kerry. Since then, Bush's shares have dipped 7 percent, from 55 cents to 51 cents on Tuesday afternoon. Over the same period, Kerry's shares have appreciated 7 percent, from 45.5 cents to 49 cents.
So who has the controlling shares for each candidate?
With the gloom of the patent infringement reports, the one bright spot is the Patent machines of IBM (and HP). It is doubtful that other major patent holders (MS) do not violate any of IBM/HP (and vice versa), so the threat of mutually assure destruction is the only seeming deterrent.
But why can't the consumptive tech be improved so solar collectors/transformers DO use ALL the heat (or the amount above xx Celsius)? Is this some law of nature where thermal can be blocked but not utilized? This is not my area of knowledge but it would seem to me that efficient solar/thermal conversion is as possible as the tech described here.
While the lowering of heat-causing agents is noble, the better scientific path (IMO) is to grab this energy and use it to power the home (solar). Spend time and effort developing more efficient, resilient, and less-expensive tech on solar energy and every new house could be roofed with 100% solar tiles. These homes could even GENERATE enough exess energy to sell back to the grid, which would help every income level. 'Zero' dependence on energy businesses could be a very real thing for homes (oh the humanity)...
The cross-datatype comparison indexing is very important (ex. '1' = 1), as well as index usage on OR clauses. Both of these before would cause full table scans, which is very costly on VLDBs (Very Large DataBases). The improvement to the VACUUM I/O processor is important for Postgre to be used on a multi-app server. The 'play nice' feature will allow one server to house the DB AND web servers (albeit at a performance hit to the DB processes). Overall, a nice improvement.
Businesses want to treat computers like a tool, not a core function. Rather like file cabinets and cubes. Need them to operate but not the true focus. Therefore, lowest bidder wins. The only people that believe spending $120k for a job competing w/ $12k/yr workforces are too stupid to get into college in the first place. That leaves a small pool of the 'pioneers' - whose business is computers (hdwe, sftwe). These 'islands' of tech will design the cutting edge and then pass it down to be 'massed produced' if feasible. This is the area for established countries. Analgous is the auto industry. Designers in the wealthier countries, manufacturing spread out into the cheaper areas (Brazil, Mexico, etc.)
IDefense discovered the vulnerability and informed AOL about it on July 12, the company said. The company released an advisory on it Monday only after computer security intelligence company Secunia Inc., of Copenhagen published an advisory warning of the hole, citing information provided by two security researchers who also had discovered the hole.
If this review is something AOL comissioned, good for them. It would be nice, however, if they had an internal QA department that could find these design (actually coding) flaws.
On the other hand, if these companies were not hired for security reviews, will this sort of 'discovery' (paranoia here:) cause a DMCA backlash?
All computer systems involved in patient care (and paper tracking as well) are forced to go through governmental processes for design, documentation and testing. These regulations add weeks, if not months, to system changes, regardless of change scope. Case in point is the drug study setup. Setting up data entry screens and processes can take up to 6 months for a given trial, and that trial may only run 3 months for the study metrics. If any of these processes are documented incorrectly, and entire trial can be dropped and the drug denied. This, in the hospital realm, is all about CYA. If a piece of equipment is not certified to this extent, the hospital can be held more liable for patient injuries if said equipment falters.
There are many facets to the electronic snooping being done today. Mobile phone locators can be both bad and good - take for example an elderly gentleman having chest pains. If he cannot communicate his location, then the signal-tracking might save his life. My employer having the ability to see I visited the nudie bar 20 times a month is a privacy invasion. The government being able to thermal image a 'warrant'-ed drug house is OK. Using it whenever is not. To go further into the paranoia realm, some states in the US still have arcane laws on the books like '2 unwed people shall not engage in sexual activities' OR '2 unwed people shall not co-habitate'. With advanced thermal/spectral imaging law enforcement can 'snoop' and arrest said people.
If I choose to give my personal information away (or walk in public where cameras are present), that is OK. If I am on my own property and no one has a warrant for illegal activity monitoring, it is privacy invasion and the invaders should be arrested/fined/flogged with a noodle. Time for more tin foil...
storage devices that large should have a multi-parallel division of storage.
Although 2TB is tremendous, at the 120MB/sec, it would be about 5 hrs to access the entire contents (while rare, a card-card transfer to save data might be performed).

Sun is attempting to hijack the UNIX server market served by IBM's AIX server line.
This could also signal the end of large $ spending on R&D by Sun (why innovate when others are creating the computers that the OS can run on?).
This virus causes 1-900 numbers to be dialed and connected for more than 1 minute (sometimes as long as 2 minutes).

I ride motorcycles whenever possible. Lower car insurance due to low miles ( 5k/yr) AND none of my current bikes can support the 'Orwell' tech.

How would this play with the Looking Glass project?
Could the restoring panes come flying out at the user?
Would it help with depth of image recognition?
Sun might wanna call up Sharp...

Let's buy something money draining, and get rid of the profitable enterprises.
