In many parts of the world we have other solutions, one in every 100cars need to be a truck, why do you need to take the weight?
If we have a blizzard or a bad flood where I live the firedepartmant MOGÂs or the military tracked ATV, kicks in (and they beat the crap out of a normal 4WD).
"That said, any 4WD owner that does not use his extraordinary capability as part of the solution--is part of the problem. "
My old 1987 2WD rearwheel drive easily beat many 4WDÂs and modern cars in bad weather, because it has way more ground clearance =)
Street only 4WD, sucks.
As an example,
The Swedish goverment once bought an unlimited licens for http://www.agresso.com/ accounting and management system, this was then forced onto all parts of of the goverment, departments, agencies.e.t.c.
Now comes the fun part, the system only works with IE, and itÂs very dependent on Excel.
There are tons of software out there for accounting and records keeping and similar that are MS only and canÂt be replaced because of legal issues and certifications.
All parts of public sector has software that are more or less monopolies because of legislation.
Browse the mythtv lists and you will find many h.264 on linux users, I actually watched h.264 yesterday on my linux box. The problem is the lack of multithreading on h.264 more than the lack of GPU offloading, the GPU offload barely works in windows I would like to add.
I worked as an intern at a steelmill once and they had people who did nothing but quality check steel by the colour of the sparks. This was for the purpose of verifying that all rods/bars in each shipment was of the same steel.
They have been bought by welltonway wich is a led by less than trustworthy people.
So expect the worst.
Wellton way went chapter 11 and is now reconstructed and is trying to rake in cash in doubtful ways, consumer authorities in Sweden have issued warnings. Welltons earlier companies include Lappower which went down, bad. My guess is that they will destroy GB PVR =(
I think its more about the player being able to bypass HDCP and to send upscaled over analog, it seems as the movie industry are dead set on makeing sure that disabling hdcp wont be as easy as bypassing Region coding. Bypassing the region codes can be done with a standard remote on a lot of players, other require a special "service" remote, if that became reality with HDCP...
Wonder why samsung doesnt just play along, they probably get to sell some more expensive HDCP compatible TVs.
Recently APB got a permit to stor IP adresses ( since it is personal data they need a permit).
This came after it was brougth to light that APB did break the "personal information law", they therefore sought and recived a permit to store certain information.
As a of this ISP also need a permit to handle the data and are not allowed to just hand it over, also it means that the ips in the register needs to be handled according to the law and that anyone may request all and any information about themselves from the register.
You should pay for 20 xp licenses and for one vm license, it has always been so and this has not changed.
The license change is about software which is licensed on physical cpu, this have been changed to being licensed on a virtual cpu basis.
E.g.
If you run msql in a one cpu virtual machine which is running in a 16CPU vmhost you only pay for 1 cpu not 16 as the old license was. Microsoft probably feels that they can compete with vmware on larger machines now and therefore they make it more profitable for large scale consolidation, it will cost you more in some specific cases but for most people its a good move.
If you approach evolution from the the genetics side it is observable, a lot of experiments are out of our reach, but basics can be achived in a controllable enviroment, also theories can be tested against obsevations of isolated populations, nature has had some experiments set up for us to observe.
Yes solaris with ldap/nis works very good, but.
1) If you use windows clients you are bound to use AD since all managemnt tools, especially the sescurity and user rights managment tools requier AD.
2) Every vendor intergrates with AD but when it comes to ldap they ship their own.
Anyway, we use solaris with nis and ldap tied to an Nt domain, automount directories are easy to present through samba, but you shold make them "static" samba mounts and let a script generate them from the automount map every night ( or you will sort the weak nfs servers from the good ).
Slap good webmangment gui ontop of ldap and your go. For the reasons stated at top we will migrate to ad, might keep an ldap in unix though ; )
My guess is that sun will buy a DB vendor and offer the db as OSS under their opensource license and a supported binary version, just as they do with openoffice and will do with solaris.
I wonder what DB it will be.
The crucial part here is that they want more controll than they would get if the just poured money into any OSS project that IBM and HP then get for free, IBM on the other hand has much more weight than sun and can buy PR points by offering resources "directly" to the OSS community.
Looks like an emerging strategy here, one binary supported version one OSS free unsupported version with code moving in both directions.
1) Large parts of the technology in soundstorm was based on ip/patents from sensaura, today sensaura is a part of creative which makes competing products.
2) DD encoding requires a license fee to be payed to dolby labs, about $5 per chip.
That is probably why there is no DD encoding hardware based 3D-sound on nforce4.
Cheapo IDE RAID-5 are software based, they have a special driver doing the checksums, so they are more like ordinary os-level RAID-5 than dedicated hardware RAID.
RAID-0 and RAID-1 are different beasts, much less CPU intensive.
A hardware based RAID card as your 3ware example is much more expensive, for a reason.
Its even more stupid than that, proper comparison would be solaris x versus redhat advanced server x or suse.A comparison between two _products_ in the same market space with the same usage, but ok atleast one is specified (solaris). The debate is stupid, I cant buy "Linux" and if I dont roll my own Im stuck with what the market offers. Its like comparing this specific powersaw to a (any) powertool, what powertool a dremel, a chainsaw a dentist drill ?
hmm.. maybe our world isnt black and white ; )
The only times sunsupport hasnt been able to help me is when I have refused to apply the latest relevant patches, granted though it might take some _arguing_ to get them to do a kernel dump analysis.
One small word of advice, never, ever let them close an unfinished case, the longer the case is open the higher the priority.

h.264 on Linux is core2 today, here are som examples on playback hardware

So please stop this myth about h.264 not being possible on linux.

Missed it in the post (yes, me stupid).
The theinquirer.net article is mostly copy and paste from the battleangel.org site !
Interesting indeed
Its not your average blog, and no its not mine.

Some interesting stuff there though.

Doesnt dell has a remapped pin layout that breaks the ATX specification ?
Because the main player in the GIS arena has oracle as its main platform.
Hotmail, if you had a hotmail account you got a messenger account and messenger came with the os.
Its viral.

The first seagate drive to have fluidbearings was the first 7200rpm drive released 97/98 and it was hot as hell.

www.blastwave.org is another, their not as /usr/local fixated as sunfreeware, for good and bad.
Add portage to the mix and i might be happy ; )

Because a LOT of software isnt XP compatible and therefore require poweruser rights to work.
Changing software is not always an option.
