The interesting part of the imbroglio is not the lawsuit about that plane [I read that summary twice.nothing registered in mind], but that Larry & Sergei were fighting over what type of bed tha plane should have. Finally,it seems,Eric,CEO, had to sort out the battle saying something like "Larry you can have the type of bed you want in your room & Sergei you can have the bed you want in your room".
Go ahead and turn it off -- you'll still see Firefox eat up hundreds of megabytes that can't be reclaimed by closing all your tabs.
Thats Right.Most times you CANT reclaim the memory even after you close the tabs.Yes,even after turning off caching.If 10 tabs used 100 MB, after closing 9 of them it drops to around 70 MB only.
Considering the two recent press releases,its more like a show off..: Something like,"It Hurts us morally you know to see whats happening in China,but what to do:( "
Kinda making a win win situation for'em by complying inside china, and at the same time trying to pacify others with democracy concerns - "Its so bad in china..blah blah"
Yea man.
If 14 hrs gaming is addiction....I sit minimum 14 hrs with PC/internet at home - only difference
is iam not stuck with gaming or anything in particular - just evrthing in net/brwsin............but I love to sit with the PC all day[ I do go out,socialize/frndz etc].......Now is this addiction too?
the phone has the potential to become more like the Internet
Is it not the other way ? Infact,
(British Telecom) the incumbent phone company in the United Kingdom, is planning to shut off all of its legacy phone networks - a hodge podge of systems that includes the traditional "circuit switched" system that has served as the architecture for delivering phone calls for more than a century - by 2010
but I don't believe telecom companies will be able to stop a company's website from being seen, only from having faster and more bandwidth available.
A company's website may not be blocked per se,but the speed is going to be greatly affected.
If Site A were to be served in 2 secs & Site B in 1 minute , both Site A & B being similar,which one would the user choose?
http://www.google.com/search?q=kazaalite [google.com] will display a notice at the bottom indicating search results were removed).

In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 2 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects.org.
Guess what got deleted along with the "unnecessary rows"? Yep, chunks of macros critical to the proper function of the workbench.
Thats why there is a facility to lock the cells is available - atleast in Lotus 123.
It was a commom practice at my office- many would get spread sheet that had to be filled in with the appropriate data and sent ; The sheet will usually be locked to prevent change of any formula/columns/rows...Although it could be disabled by the user,it offered some level of safety. Ofcourse password protection could be implemented.
This story's headline makes it seem as though there is a inherent fault in spread sheet software....
Rather,its about how people make mistakes when working on spread shit. Sample:
The researcher who worked on that report just made a mistake in the formula in the spreadsheet. He feels bad about it."
Apple had been offering and still continues to offer tech support from another third party BPO provider, TransWorks based here in Bangalore.
But sources claim that this has nothing to do with the kind of quality of service that the India tech support would offer. "I think it has more to do with financial feasibility of the centre rather than the quality of service. You have to keep in mind that no work had started - basically it was just mid-level support staff that had been hired apart from Kharbanda who was expected to grow this the Dell way."
Many of the components used in the company's products are, in fact, produced by third-party vendors in Taiwan, China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore. Most of the company's portable products including MacBook Pro, iBooks, and iPods are manufactured by third-party vendors in China. "It makes sense for the company to invest and expand in these regions, instead of having a new facility in India," say analysts.
http://services.silicon.com/offshoring/0,380000487 7,39157100,00.htm The company stressed it isn't cutting any US jobs, noting that its ranks are growing both in the United States and overall. The Apple representative said: "Our call centres in Austin and Sacramento also continue to grow."
In a bizarre twist to the offshoring craze, The Boston Globe reports that some Indian high-tech companies that accept "offshoring" work from American companies are turning around and offshoring some of that work back to Americans. According to the May 30 story, INDIA TECH FIRMS SEEK US TALENT IN OFFSHORING TWIST, Tata Consultancy Services of Bangalore can't find enough workers in India to fill the 30,500 positions it needs to hire for this year so it plans to hire talent abroad, including 1,000 recruits in America. Some 9,500 positions out of 62,000 at Tata are Americans, according to the story.
This story perse is nothing......What actually is the reason behind Apple's extreme decision?
Obviously they wouldnt have floated the venture w/o months of prior spadework/feasibilty - Yet to pull out in 3 months? Sucha sudden decision?
Something went awry somewhere - probably just in someones head....Wanna see whos gonna break the REAL story !!
ThePirateBay.org Raided - Servers Seized May 31, 2006 Thomas Mennecke
In their native Sweden, ThePirateBay.org enjoyed a level of immunity from copyright prosecution rarely seen in the file-sharing world. Often defiant in the face of those wishing to enforce their intellectual property rights, ThePirateBay.org would go on to become one of the premier BitTorrent indexing and tracking sites.
As one of the largest trackers, ThePirateBay.org largely replaced the search engine SuprNova.org. SuprNova.org met its demise in late 2004, when it was under pressure from the entertainment industry to shut it operation down. Conversely, such pressure has been ineffective against ThePiratebay.org.
When such political pressure fails, the use of force is typically the next course of action. In a move that many thought would never come, Slyck.com learned this morning that ThePirateBay.org was raided by Swedish police.
"...The police right now is taking all of our servers, to check if there is a crime there or not (they are actually not sure)," ThePirateBay.org spokesperson "brokep" told Slyck.com.
The seizure of ThePirateBay.org's entire server farm will guarantee this BitTorrent tracker will remain offline until the police complete their investigation. The uncertainty on the part of the police may stem from the fact ThePirateBay.org's servers only host.torrent files, not actual copyrighted material. As a tracker, ThePirateBay.org's function is to index.torrent files and to direct BitTorrent traffic and maintain the swarm (uploads and downloads.) The downloaded.torrent file contains all the necessary information to locate and download the queried file. The legality of indirectly linking to copyrighted material has yet to be tested by Swedish courts.
Whether this will keep ThePirateBay.org offline indefinitely is another matter.
"We are not sure when it will return, but we are moving it to another country if necessary," brokep said.
According to The Pirate Party, a Swedish copyright reform organization, the raid also seized Piratbyrån's (the Pirate Bureau) servers. Piratbyrån is a educational and quasi-political organization which performs a public servic role similar to The Pirate Party. In addition, The Pirate Party reports "...the servers where located in a protected area, to which the police had no legal right to enter..." Approximately 50 police participated in the raid, which placed into custody two PirateBay.org personnel.
The premature departure of ThePirateBay.org marks a significant turning point in the BitTorrent community. Although it's not currently known what, if any, entertainment entity is behind this raid, failure to secure ThePirateBay.org's permanent removal will only bolster this tracker's position of defiance.
Iam quite dissapointed with the redesign.
May be Rob wanted just a facelift/upgrade from the old design - but I was dissapointed to the see the new one being ALMOST the same as the old one,only a little slickier .
I was similarly affected for years with unexplained rashes, but I was lucky: I have a chemistry degree and I ran into a couple of good allergists while I was in the Air Force.
The doctors discovered I was allergic to propylene glycol and sulfa.
Makes me think. I had a ver bad rash problem some years back.And iam quite sure it all started after I was prescribed sulfa drug to treat my malaria.
What a pain it was.No kind of treatment was useful on the long run..only temp fixes.But it all gradually waned away after 2/3 years......
Ever since, I have been careful not to take sulfa drugs,but Iam surprised to know soaps/shampoos have it !
Thanks for your reply.
Encryption? u mean encrypring everything over the client?gow is it done.
& like you said,even if it is encrypted,what stops RIAA from logging in as another user into the network and then get my ip when dl/ul.
Also,is "peer guardian" s/w better?
but BearShare is still alive and kicking [bearshare.com] and you can even still download the installer [bearshare.com]. As long as people still have the client, the RIAA hasn't "shut down" anything.
Yep.Thats right.I just now checked with my bearshare- - it works like it did before.Had i not come across this piece of news,I simply wouldnt notice any of the "shutdown orders".
If you do some lookups on the IPs and corresponding owners of some of the most popular eMule servers (Untouchable 2.0, for instance), you'll see that they're owned by anti-piracy firms. They are most likely logging and building evidence for further litigation by the RIAA.
Oops. Now thats a shocker!How do you do this server checking for bittorrent?& If you time,could you explain a little more in detail as to how to find the server's ip ? Thanks.

The story summary was messed up.
,it seems,Eric ,CEO, had to sort out the battle saying something like "Larry you can have the type of bed you want in your room & Sergei you can have the bed you want in your room".
The interesting part of the imbroglio is not the lawsuit about that plane [I read that summary twice.nothing registered in mind], but that Larry & Sergei were fighting over what type of bed tha plane should have.
Finally
Youtube under pressure to come up with a revenue model.
