savings of the components + the wharehouse costs to smooth out importation delays + cost of lost opportunities due to longer lead times cost of local manufacturing.
There is also a longer turn around time to recover from an error in design should it not be discovered until assembly.
Most would go for a best-of-both-worlds scenario. Prototype and do the first production runs locally with smaller stock on hand. Once the bugs are sorted out and the demand is somewhat predictable, order in bulk from OS.
So there are still local jobs, but only doing the small scale stuff - where agility is more important than raw component cost.
And even if the icon was GPL, they don't need to release the entire browser source code, just the code for the icon upon request.
People - the GPL is not viral, nor should it be. It simply states that if I make my code free, nobody can unmake it free. It doesn't mean that if you use my code as part of a larger package, then everything else in that package must also be free.
We need to get this right, as this misconception is exactly what MS is using to attack open source solutions to sell their crappy products, which we have to make work.
Same thing happened in the promotional photo for "Gigli" - A few inches were digitally carved off J-Lo's butt and reinserted on her breasts. Whether this affected the box office takings is debateable.

Cisco's "Routing TCP/IP"
The second edition of Volume 1 has just been released.
Volume 1, and do more than cover just TCP/IP standards, they also have a practical implementation aspect. Of course, its all Cisco based, but given a huge whack of the networking is as well, that's not as big a disadvantage as you'd expect. For BGP (especially Cisco's implementation of BGP), look to the CiscoPress "Internet Routing Architectures". I prefer it to the coverage in Volume II of Routing TCP/IP.
However, you will be getting the reviewed book as well. CiscoPress stuff is food, but after a while you get sick of reading the same coverage in several different books, and there is more than one way to design a network other than the ECNM.
There are three usable channels. A good engineer will put up a tower with three 120-degree antennas, and put one channel on each side. On alternating towers, arrange the overlap so you are always covering the same zone with the same channel. Ideally you create three overlapping lobes.
No. A poor engineer will waste three channels in three zones which in realtiy have neglible physical overlap.
A good engineer will put up a tower with 3 110-degree antennas all on the same channel, not permit connections slower than 18Mbits per second, and stickup and an onmi on a second channel just to give some coverage to the non-overlapping lobes. When this becomes exhausted, the engineer will but up another three 110-degree antennas that overlap the first, giving double the aggregate bandwidth to first three lobes. By setting each at 30 degrees to the others, a final three 110-degree antennas can then be rolled out on the channel of the original omni giving an aggregate bandwidth of 162Mbps to most (close in) regions, with small ares of 108Mbps.
A really good engineer will roll out both 802.11g and 802.11a.
The idea is to put your microcells as close to each other as possible while avoiding overlaps, then filling the gaps using your other channels.
The extention of the 802.11b standard into 802.11g is a pain the arse for exactly this reason. All access-points should be limited to work on only channels 1,6 or 11, and rate limited so that anything too far away simply drops off, rather than throttling.
802.11a has a much better frequency spacing (8 non-overlapping channels in most juridstiction, 4 in the others), but many countries won't let you use it outside. The penetrating power at 5GHz is also less than at 2.4GHz.
Has wireless been overhyped? Hell yeah, but all we are seeing is the same problem that we all had when everybody went out and bought a 900Mhz cordless phone.
We need to either compress the channel bandwidth (OFDM with few channels around the center frequency), which would give less bandwidth per channel, extend the number of non-overlapping channels available. Jacking up the frequency would give better overall throughput and less channel conflict at the cost of range.
The kind of brain that can handle multiple channels of information is the type that earns As
The kind of brain that can handle multiple channels of information is called "female". This so it can remained focussed on finding fruit, roots and mushrooms, comminicating with the social group, watching for danger and keeping an eye on the baby hanging off the left nipple.
The other kind of brain is designed to focus intently on one task: To determine its changing position in space, deduce its future actions, then kill it and drag it home to the first type of brain who can then add "cook the zebra" to its list of tasks while the first type dedicates itself to back-slapping and farting.
The relevance to earning As or not depends on what the A is given for. Men tend to be better at finding a solution that solves a complicated problem. Women tend to be better at cavassing a range of solutions and presenting their relative merits with relatively bias. The best results are found when both types of brain work together. Of course, the link from genitals to brain-type is no less perfect that the link from genitals to sexual preference.
I think the lack of interest in CS degrees is that a lot of people perceive CS to be nothing more than training monkeys to program, and they see all those jobs being outsourced. Schools need to emphasis the design, project management and other higher-level skill development as well as the deeper understanding that comes with studying CS.
And, of course, all those schools who do nothing more than train monkeys how to program should be offshored.
Even if they did a "binary only" type release, you could still load the zfs module into the kernel and use the program.
GPL is not "viral". To believe that running something on Linux - even in the kernel space - means that you have to open your source to world means that you have been listening to too much MicroSoft FUD.
Is that a troll, or do you want to put forward an argument to support your claim?
Intrinsically, something you cannot see is more secure than something you can't. Putting all your cash under the mattress is more secure that leaving it on top of the bed. The level of physical accessibility is simular, but the latter is a more obvious target.
It's the hot water recomended for not only comfort but to essectially disinfect your mouth.
No. To effectively kill bacteria, you have to raise the temperature to excess of 80 degrees Celcius (around 176 degF) for 15 minutes. Hotter temperatures take shorter times (such as the flash heating pasteurisation used for milk), but less than this won't kill the bugs.
Given that you cannot physically tolerate something this hot in your mouth, and nobody would do so for 15 minutes even if they could, hot water will not disinfect your mouth.
Incidentally, using hot water to wash your crockery and cutlery will also fail to kill the bugs unless the above temperature is reached.
Any distribution of the work requires the consent of both the artist and Aunt Bertha.
Isn't there some limitation on the permission required to cover a song? Something like the holder of the publishing rights cannot prevent somebody from recording a version of that song, even though they are entitled to royalties. Also, the words and music are protected separately.
"Spoofs" are slightly different. So Weird Al has to get permission to send up a song, but Sheryl Crow can butcher whatever she likes, as long as she doesn't change the words.

Slashdot Mirror
"Monkey to monkey" ???
Yes, bit "its" is the exception to the rule.
Just remember that "it" is not important enough to own anything.
Thus "it's" is the contraction for "it is", while "its" is the possessive.
And people, remember that there is NEVER an apostrophe before the "s" when making a plural, not even for an acronym
"Windows" not "Window's" (that was on slashdot this morning). "CDs" not "CD's".

You might want to reverse the order of those list items.

It should be "Security by obscurity is not the TOTAL answer.
Can I doubly reinforce that? The number of people who advertise their SSIDs is rediculous. Even Cisco does it by default on the primary SSID.
This is by no means the best way to secure your Wi-Fi network, but its an essential part of it.
