No, that would be your company not having enough bandwidth to meet demand, so they have their content mirrored on Akamai's servers so they can take some of the stress off yours.
Oh wait, I guess it took them 2 years to learn how to write a letter.
It does when you're using MS Works 2.0 for DOS. With no WYSIWYG editing, it was hard to get the document looking right. This is also why they are only just now finding out about tabbed windows being used in operating systems.
RIM said users will easily be able toggle between the two platforms, one of which would have a BlackBerry-style interface.
So kinda like Netscape trying to make the Internet the operating environment for the user, and the OS just "that thing in the background that keeps the machine running"? Good luck on this one, RIM. I foresee a future of random "unexplainable" crashes, connectivity glitches, and slow UI responsiveness for your software just as soon as the next update for Windows Mobile 6 comes out of Redmond.
That said, the 30 or so third-party cartridges I've used with my HP printer have never clogged it.
Don't HP printers build the print head into the cartridge? That would mean that when you replace the cartridge, you're getting a clean print head, making it impossible to clog the printer itself.

I wasn't saying that ecommerce sites are the only reason, it was just the most obvious situation that came to mind. I'm sure there are many IT jobs that have the stupid on-call stipulation for businesses that really would be okay if it was the next morning before it got fixed.
Email server admin, for one. Being available to react to a server of any sort paging you because its going down. I dated a woman who had a job administering an email server, and she got a call once late at night while we were having sex (No, she didn't answer it till later). It wasn't even a server paging her, it was the junior admin calling her because the spam filter was having some kind of issue that was causing email to be sent over and over again endlessly and he didn't know how to stop it.
Being on call seems like an unreasonable request I find except that e-commerce sites are made to be available 24/7 and every hour they're down is money lost for the company, and the website itself is the storefront for the retailer pretty much. Having issues not dealt with in a timely manner gives people a bad impression about the health/professionalism of the company.
...there's way too much information to decode a Mrs. Matrix. You get used to it, though. Your brain does the parsing. I don't even see the code. All I see is.blonde,.brunette, and.redhead. Hey uh, you want a drink?
The article goes on to point out several flaws in the study's logic. For example, the actual cost of a Windows OEM hasn't increased in the last few years; Microsoft isn't passing this cost directly on to the consumer."
They haven't released a new product in the last few years either, till now. They couldn't very well raise the price of XP years after its release, with most people asking where the mythical new Longhorn was, and keep a straight face.
Obviously the adjustment is made in new products - Vista.
I've been waiting for this ever since I heard of it: All the photographic quality of a inkjet with faster speeds than laser printers and saving ink to boot. Very disappointed we won't see it at home now, but it's only a matter of time before it filters down.
It would filter down a lot sooner if printer manufacturers would adopt this fantastic new business model where you charge what products are actually worth and not adopt this "buy this cheap, pay for extras to keep us afloat" mentality. This is just another version of a company wanting a constant, consistant revenue stream verses having to actually innovate and keep product lines fresh to get new sales.
The point being that if you're aware of prior art and don't intend to deceive anyone, why would you go to the trouble of doing the application to begin with? You already know you're not going to get your application. The expectation shouldn't be on the company trying to get the patent in their own name, that's just another version of the fox guarding the hen house.
Isn't the whole point of a patent examiner to search out this evidence to start with?
Wasn't Verizon required to disclose prior art with their patent application ?
Why would a company submit information with their patent application showing they weren't the ones that came up with the idea to begin with? Wouldn't that negate the whole purpose of applying for a patent.
It's no different than seeing an unlocked door. You wouldn't just walk in and look around would you?
A notable difference being this person's wireless network extends beyond their physical property. Let's say someone is in a downtown district, how are they to know which network is a free municipal one and which is just bleeding out of someone's condo.
Hmmm. I wonder if this inflates the apparent popularity of Firefox (not that I consider that a bad thing, mind you).
Actually, it means something much more frightening. It means MySpace is even more popular in comparison to other websites, as no one on MySpace would be smart enough to delete cookies on a regular basis, so there aren't any "double dips" of the new visitor counter like other sites would have.
How's this for a new twist on the old responsible disclosure debate? Hackers are using clues from Microsoft's pre-patch security advisories to create and publish proof-of-concept exploits.
That's great. Now they have an excuse to be incredibly vague about the problem in the advisories. It will be like the Government and National Security Letters.
"We need you to submit to this, to protect you from hackers. We can't discuss the issue as it's a trade secret and a threat to computing security. This is a critical venerability. But we can't tell your why. Just install this patch when it comes out and you'll be better. Trust us, we know what we're doing."
Firstly, should this really be posted on/. ? This is a support/hardware forum posting.
Yes. Given how DRM continues to become more and more invasive in everything we try to do on our PCs, and the legality of shrink wrap and click through contracts not concrete yet, I find hardware makers quietly and arbitrarily removing features people expect on products a very big deal indeed.
Can you not see a TCPM tinted future where your very storage devices refuse to accept data for writing that contain copyright flags? "Oh, well" you say, "screw this SATA 4 hard disk, I'll just hook up my trusty SATA-2 drive."
I've never heard the term "Eurasia" used when discussing continents.
The list went "Asia, Africa, North and South America, Europe, Australia, and Antarctica too!" (It was sing-songed). New Zealand was just considered "part of Australia" as though it was a territory like U.S. Samoa.
I know there are some different opinions [wikipedia.org] about how many continents there are and what they're called. But most Americans consider Australia to be its own continent,
Because they are taught that way in school. I just point that out as whether Americans really consider 'Australia' a continent is not so much a question of how they personally perceive the divisions of the landmasses, but rather what they have been told is "correct". When I was younger, I questioned Europe being a separate continent. It seemed to me Europe was Western-most quarter of Asia actually.
It's not "coming" as the summary suggests, it's only a bill being put forward.
Just like in a horror movie: "Death is coming". Obviously, it's not certain you will be killed when he reaches your house, but Micheal Myers/Jason/whomever is approaching.

Hey, I think I'm getting an idea how we can reach this planet. I need a Macbook, a Dell running Linux, and a ticket for me and the geek to Redmond.

Why would you care about something that has been shown to be false, though?
They could be the interviews I'm looking for! They were done a long time ago in a location far, far away from me.

Everyone wants to be a utility,
So in other words, if your internet access goes down you can't print either.
