Just think if, ISP's are shaping 'p2p' traffic by port and then people use some other port for their p2p traffic, one might see a drop in 'p2p' traffic.
Same old argument, so here again is my tired response.
85% of our users are IE 74% of those are IE6
over 90% of our hits come from N3 which is the NHS Network. These people *can't* change their browser. If I don't support them I can kiss goodbye to contract renewals.
Or maybe they fixed the protocol to not allow devices that masquerade as other devices, and all Palm need to do is stop pretending and report itself as a Pre and it will work again.
I haven't looked at the source code, though, so probably best for me not to make unfounded statements as if they were fact.
Begone, MS troll! Autorun, automount is evil, and should be sidetracked/disabled. It's too easy to automount as it is. The responsible developers should be summarily shot between the eyes as it is.
The article talks about the disjoint between what devs want and what users want.
Users just want their stuff to automount. In that respect the devs got it right. The fact you, as a power user/dev can disable it means they got that part right too.
About a gazillion years of linux use lie behind that comment. I love linux to death, its the greatest thing to have happened to 'PC' since.... ever.
The irony lies in the fact that modprobe - in fact the whole, loading unloading kernal modules on the fly - is nothing short of amazing.
I can't think of anything more impressive (in context) than being able to dynamically modify the core OS behaviour through a simple set of command line tools.
The only problem that remains is that 'everyone else' doesn't ever want to even know that stuff is possible.
I think they need to evaluate which would be cheaper:
1. cost of a system based on more regorously defined business process + cost of implementing rigourous business process. 2. cost of a system based on wildly varied and loose requirements + cost of continuing to run your business like this.
I'm not so naive as to think I could do it all myself on a shoestring (I'd give it a good go though!) but $28million is a fuck load of money. Seriously.
There's every chance. Once you see the cost I think you might not bother....
O2 has revealed that using tethering will not be included in the normal unlimited data that comes with standard pay monthly packages. Instead, you will have to buy a bolt-on monthly package costing £14.68 per month for 3 gigabytes of data and £29.36 per month for 10 gigabytes. Additional data used through tethering will cost 19.6p per megabyte. If you want to use internet tethering overseas, you will have to pay £2.94 per megabyte in the EU and £6 per megabyte everywhere else.
I'm impressed with the two guys who did it *manned* in the 60s
from tfa :
In January 1960, Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh made the first and only manned voyage in a Swiss-built bathyscaphe known as the Trieste. The vessel consisted of a 2m-diameter (6ft) steel sphere containing the crew suspended below a huge 15m-long (50ft) tank of petrol, designed to provide buoyancy. During the nine-hour mission, the two men spent just 20 minutes on the ocean floor; enough time to measure the depth as 10,916m (35,813 ft).
You might not get past the basics - but at least you learned the basics. The thing with 'the basics' is that anybody who is smart can learn 'the basics' in pretty much any field.
With IT though there is this weird thing where people seem to think it is perfectly OK to simply claim "I'm not very good with computers", and not even bother to try and get any further.
I don't think that's a blind spot. Nobody is asking them to write a perl regex to validate an email address.
I agree with you (and I actually think technically you agreed with the parent) *most* people do get the basics. I would seriously question the motives of those who *choose* not to get the basics.

That's not paranoid, that's business.
nothing a little xslt can't fix
Sounds like a good test.
Except for the part where you change two variables at the same time.
Google is paid by the advertisers. Saying that its business model is to waste your employees time is a bit of a stretch.
He never recovered from a DOS attack in the 80's. Poor chap.
Gadzooks! Next you'll be wanting track numbers!

Ahh, but now you've been labelled 'possible terrorist advisor'.
Oh shit, now I'm complicit too.
If being able to 'get it' is considered an important quality for improving the gene pool then god help us all.
I had one, there was a problem with sound, it kept going Tic-Tock.

No, no! At least let's wait for Final Fantasy XXX. heh.

The OS X86 community is exactly the bunch of people who felt a regular mac didn't suit their specialised needs. Hardly a representative sample.
Furthermore (and the most glaring mistake, as mentioned in TFR) the website for a book about Drupal themes, has virtually no theming.
AAPL is cheap right now. That would be some hedge play :D
