Of course its the oldest profession in the book. With the car, came sex in the car. With the phone came phone-sex. With the telegraph came, well, I am sure something sexual. With./ came goatsex. Sex is the most fundemental part of everything we do. Is it suprizing that porn is the largest employeer on the net?
The way Pumatech is going, you'll be able to buy this patent at the firesale for a few bucks. Also, it is completely worthless. Date Modified headers are the standard. Stray from the standard and you risk caching dynamic pages.
You did all that you could do in this case. It really is not your problem. If it is your problem, i.e. you work for the company or you are an admin but on a different project, etc. Get the response in writing. Make sure that your warning is in writing too. That way, no one can blame you when some scanner out their smells a defective version of Bind and ends up owning your box.
Welcome to America, friend. Here in America we raise money by offering services to other citizens of the world in exchange for this thing called money. Its an odd system, but it seems to work for us. An inquisative survivor such as yourself, is sure to draw the attention of others who are interested in your service, and willing to pay for it, whatever it may be. You will be reassured, knowing that others, whose services are not worthy, will not receive funds in this manner, and won't waste world resources that could otherwise be directed to your more productive and helpful product.
I agree and disagree. Your premiss is correct, that clockspeed is only a factor in performance. The one area of improvement in the P4 is the instruction set and the instruction pipeline have been vastly enhanced, so most of the features long implemented within say a SPARK pipeline are now in a Pentium. However, the P4 suffers from severe memory starvation (worse than a P3) due to the architecture of its caching. This keeps its actual performance down with a frank, zero increase over the P3 of roughly two-thirds the clockspeed.
But, you are dead on with the practical point, who cares? As it currently stands, the P4 is a complete waste of money. For the PC, nobody needs a 1.7Ghz chip. For a server, that clock speed would be handy, but only with about 1Mb of onboard cache.
The real story today is not the P4, but the prices. Intel is slashing prices big time, ahead of their.13 micro manufacturing process which wont be operational until the end of this year. Basically, they are starting a price war with AMD, and it looks like it will be vicious. Why? PC Manufactures can read, and the verdict on the P4's real performance frankly no good. The P4 has a long way to go before it can be considered an improvement. Of course, consumers are idiots and they buy CPU's based on clock speed alone. However, the PC market is hosed right now. By the time the PC market recovers, AMD will be there with its next gen chips. This price war is something that Intel can afford. I wonder if AMD can afford it? AMD's manufacturing costs have always been more competative than Intels. However, a 50% price reduction has to sting, and AMD wont have.13 micron technology by the end of this year.
Actually, I was speaking from an engineer's perspective. I like a nice 21" monitor with good crisp resolution for coding. And I still see lame video cards in the used refabs that occupy most startup shops. You really need 32MB at a mimimum for video with multiple desktops, vnc etc...
Anyway, this idea is really limited. First of all, I like to have the CDRom, disk drive, zip drive, etc handy. Also(this may be your point), I want to admin my own boxes. However, I suppose it has application in the Office environment.
While am ethically in favor of legalization under the principle that it's my right to do what I wish with my own body, all of the statistics prove that the government's legal crack down on drugs has reduced drug consumption. In otherwords, while it is no solution, the war on drugs does appear to be reducing the roles of drug users.
Sounds somewhat missleading to me. While clearly this technology is facinating and will outperform mirrors and bubbles, I raise some doubts about these claims. First, the light signal must be translated into electronic signal in order for the processor to make the switch (because they don't have an all optical processor). Second, they do have moving part in the optical gateway which is heated in order to polarize the light for a particular channel. What is the durability of this gateway? How will it stand up over time? How far can this trick be expanded? Sounds like 64x64 will be pushing the laws of physics.
I wish those "trenchcoat maffia" had broken into the lawfirm that is currently putting this class action suit forward and shot everyone there. This is the REAL problem with our society. Why aren't their less shootings in schools and more shootings in law firms.
SDMI is completely offbase. SDMI are complete idiots for the following two reasons:
1. They believe watermarks have a future
2. They publicly invited the crypto community to hack their pathetic technology.
These people are nothing but fancy con artists who have convinced the recording industry that they can save them from their inevitable doom.

The key to FCC regulations on bandwitdh is 'restrictions'. Why are there restrictions? Because we need to regulate usage of a public limited resource. The internet is no different.
Too bad the website didn't have a special kind of serlet runner, that could stay up in periods of low load and magically create new highly available servers during periods of high load.
This was an extremely well researched and comprehensive assessment of the SPAM problem, however it was limited to analysis of the current situation. The policy makers need to understand the grave threats to public interest that are at stake here.
Imagine an internet of the future with billions of world wide users. If I send 10 billion solicitations a day (at a click of my mouse), and only 1/100th of a percent buy the hair tonic (at $20 a bottle) I'd rake in $20 million in revenues. At what cost? Practically no cost to me, but such schemes could render the internet useless overnight if enough people did it. Spamming software might be a feature of MS Office on day. Imagine, if everyone did this.
Is SPAM free speech? Of course not. If SPAM is free speech, why can't I broadcast my thoughts on 101.1 FM without an FCC licence?
Of course, the images are NASA intercepts from Alien transmissions!!!!. My God people, wake up to the charade being played by our government here. Aliens are real! How else could you explain Ted Copple and Barbra Walters?
Oracle will never go open src. Oracle's codebase is not too impressive. Postgres can go head to toe with Oracle any day. Oracles support for high-end server hardware is primarily tied to the OS. In otherwords, it is Solaris that makes the big cluster work, not Oracle. Why is Oracle a dominant player then, and why do I recommend going with Oracle for large scale enterprizes?
Simple. The same reason you go with Cisco.
100 Oracle DBAs for every Postgres DBA
dozens of third party monitoring packages support Oracle
dozens of third party data transformer packages support Oracle.
dozens of failsafe spillover packages support oracle
dozens of anything else I forgot supports oracle.
So why on earth would Oracle go open source and give away their software for free?
2nd point. The article claims that Sun is moving towards Linux. I dispute this claim. Solaris is the flagship at Sun and will be for the next 5 years.
Go ahead and mod down, but StarWars seems to me to be another one of those sacred cows. I loved the original movie as a kid, and the sequels were entertaining, but as I got older I began to realize that the acting, storyline, writing, directing, etc, really were nothing special. Clearly, the original StarWars will stand out as a groundbreaking special effects piece as well as cultural filmpiece. Reinforcing my erroding faith, Lucas with his renovated re-releases of the first trilogy, insults us with the Jaba scene in episode IV. Also, to be blunt, Episode I completly sucked as a movie. I mean, the light sabres were cool and the darth mul guy was pretty cool, but the rest sucked (except that big fish, that was neat). Midocondrians? What the hell? Explaining the force? That is like when stupid fantasy books try and explain magic. What a stupid premiss. And as for JarJar, enough said. Of course JarJar is no worse than the Ewoks or Yoda. The Episode I script has less depth than one of Bill Shattner's tech war books. The "political" dramma is oversimplified rediculousness. The bad guys are too bad and the good guys are too good. Look, I am not saying these movies are terrible, they are very entertaining, but they aren't worth all of this iconification.
You need wireless or at least a healthy mix of wireless and fixed. Bed surfing is awesome, and wireless is allot easier to spread around the house. Of course masquerading is essential too.
Hogwash. The insulin gene (no responsible for the commercial production of all insulin) is a direct byproduct of study of the animal genome. Of course it is more complicated that they thought. So what. It doesn't mean there wont be major breakthroughs soon.
Liberals are all tax and spend until it comes to their own finances where they behaive like Franco. Apple Computer Inc. is the same deal. On their face their are a bunch of crunchy tech-friendlies, all open-source, warm and fuzzy. But in their backrooms the're nothing more than hypocrytical laywers and marketeers. At least Microsoft is honest about their intentions to screw you.

I agree with your boycott, but for a completely different reason. All of the above listed movies completely suck. Hollywood is dead.
