Your right he did, but that still doesn't validate anything he said. He was IMPLYING something that is not true. It would be like me saying that my SmartCar can kick the crap out a Vette... assuming the Vette has the engine removed. So what?
If you want to break in at a "physical" level between two wireless connections you just have to be sitting in radio range. Which may, or may not, even be in the same building. To break into a wired connection at the same level you'll have to attach some vampire clamps or whatever somewhere which means a physical break, physical access to the network.
as for client side certs there is nothing preventing wired from having this, and in fact a lot of secure installations do. Just because Wireless has some fancy WPA stuff that most people should enable doesn't make it more secure, if anything it's a nice warm blanket for people to have.
A Hardened Wireless connection will always be less secure then a Hardened Wired connection. One sends signals throughout the air one through a small cable.
Whew managed to do that without mentioning OSI once
We buy em for several reasons, one being we do thousands of lines here a year and don't have the time or people to roll our own.
The other major factor I haven't read here (coulda missed) is warranties. If we have a cable issue our supplier will fix it asap. Doesn't happen a lot but when it has it works great. They test em provide the results and away we go. I'd rather not have bad cables in an office made buy a guy that no longer works here.
Like anything go cheap (either cheap supplier or cheap tools to build your own) and you get what you pay for. I don't care enough either way to go against what my boss says for cables. He says buy I buy. He says make I make.
Too hard core? Really? You obviously don't remember a game where you had 3 lives and no continue, and if you didn't beat the game in a single sitting you'd never beat it. Or my personal fav, Wonder Boy 2 for the Sega Master System where you had 1 life, 1 restore potion, and a timer running every single level.
Compare that to oh I don't know Fallout 3 or some such where you save where you want and if you screw up the boss fight you just go on gamefaqs, figure it out, load the savegame (usually an AUTO save) and carry on.
Games are less hardcore (And in a lot of ways I prefer this)
Everything I heard is that it did rather poorly, which is unfortunate (I don't like the Wii, but I do like games that try and push the edge like MadWorld tried)
At work we deal with satellite links in northern offices (100ms crappy? try 800ms... ), testing network apps and such it would be handy to have had this feature back when I did this sorta thing.
Good to file away in the back of my head for future reference.
Hmm being Slashdot I figured people would know about the ability of scanning computers on the network for software sitting on a computer and in use... I'm already on a list for using Firefox before and already got slammed down for using an approved version of IE7 (just not approved for me it seems)
You guys don't break IE functionality before my work upgrades from IE6... I absolutely despise IE (and IE6 most of all) but can't break free of it yet:(
When Nintendo came out, competition although existing wasn't much... wasn't that at the end of the Video Game crash when they showed up? Not a lot to compete with. Not to mention they got a flagship series down for Nintendo, what do you think EVO has to replace Mario with? And um I do believe that Sony and Microsoft existed and people know who they were before their respective consoles showed.
This isn't the 80s, EVO doesn't have a chance. Sorry.
Last I saw Apple is a tech company... they just released a ton of new products. How is this not applicable? I guess when Google released their single cellphone, or Microsoft releases a new line of Zune's, that would also not be worthy for technical people?
If you don't like stories on Apple, you can, you know, set your preferences to block it.
Agreed... I spent 6 weeks in Japan so although not very scientific, the people I met there were interested in seeing my iPhone because they've never seen one in use over there. I saw almost everyone there had a cellphone, never saw an iPhone. In Canada here I see them all the time. I agree my iPhone just doesn't have a lot of features compared to one of theirs.
RE1 Remake on the 'Cube was the pinacle of the series I think... 2 and 3 were good but the graphics are too dated. Playing the remake at like 1am lights off is some seriously good memories. 4 was a good game but definitly not as scary. I remember contemplating if I should use my last ribbon to save or wait and try and make it a bit further, or if I can afford to use ammo on that zombie up ahead or try and run past. The Midnight Sonata or whatever piano playing echoing through the mansion was extremely well done. I'll buy RE5 but my expectations aren't very high.
I still have the Remake, but sold my Gamecube and the Wii... tempted to pick a Gamecube up for cheap.
Perhaps... but that argument reminds me a lot of the days of networks like Novell and other similar systems like Banyan.
Eventually other apps will become certified on other hosts, and once that door starts creaking open more and more will jump ship. VMWare should be worried, maybe not for the short term, but definitly for the long term.
My personal fav was years ago when a student working for us was returning back and forwaded on his thesis. It basically was "why we suck as an organization." He sent it to the ENTIRE 20,000+ person organization.
This is no different then 10Gig Ethernet. Your not using this for Desktop, but in large ISP backbones to handle traffic. I'm sure this is years away from practical use even in there however.
I agree.. I thought it was something fun to do, I didn't feel a lot of pressure like I had to do this or someones dog somewhere would die or something. Normally I ignore these but eh.. not like I put anything up there that I wouldn't mind any of my friends knowing.
Granted I also didn't send it out to a "full" 25. Just people i thought might be interested in it.
Frankly although I found it very interesting I think this article went a little TOO indepth, but I imagine if your into marketing it might be useful.
What I'd like to know is what the hell those new "like" buttons are supposed to be used for.
I remember a long long time ago there was a plugin for Firefox that would make all popup's open in a TAB as apposed to another window.. was great, but can't seem to find it anymore, anyone know if that's still around? Is it a feature built into Firefox (I looked but couldn't find)
I'd be curious to know too. If it was something like DeCSS I wouldn't even bat an eye, same with Pandora radio not being available up here. But the two app's (one grabs wallpapers off the web, I really didn't care much about it since it's just a glorified frontend to what you can do in the browser anyways) and a drink program just made me go HMMMMMMMMM. These aren't dealbreakers, but it's just repeatedly annoying seeing all of these "free" things blocked (same with Hulu) simply because I'm on this side of the border..
I hope it's something like they didn't specify global, as apposed to being blocked for some silly political reason.

Seriously? More Secure?

Now THAT could be fun. Set them to blink exceedingly fast, but at slightly different intervals to "maximize consumer focus".
Don't forget the Blink tag. Everyone LOVES Blinkie! Or the little Construction Icons... mmmmmmm

They've had missiles that could reach Japan for quite some time already... this was quite the failure for them.

Sure it's perpetual.. until you forget to feed your vacum cleaner for a few weeks.
Poor Boo :'(

Wait.. what? RE2 Port? I did not know about this... must investigate further, thanks!

Never played Eve, probably never will.. but I'm honestly quite intrigued by what's going on.
Sounds pretty kick ass.
