From the article Spyware-related phone calls now make up as much as 20 percent of all help calls, compared with just 1 percent to 2 percent in August, 2003
Is this because users are now more aware of the existance of spyware, rather than the actual 19% increase?
For instance, in 2003, Joe-granpa probably didn't know/care why his modem's blinking non-stop, but he does now.
Since Sempron is (in)directly competing with AMD's own Athlon, are we going to see changes in Athlon (eg limited to above 3000+ rating only), while Sempron stays in under 3000+?
Is broadband speed a pre-requisite for wireless services nowadays?
Personally I would rather be able to use the Internet from as many locations as possible, than having a broadband conenction via 3G only in the city central.
Is 1G or 0.2G (or whatever older technology) too expensive to implement mobile Internet?
Okay the guy has been arrested and fired, but what about those names already sold to spammers?
In the article AOL didn't seem to mention what they are doing to protect the victims, except "they are thoroughly reviewing and strengthening our internal procedures".
Is this good enough? Sometimes you can punish the offender enough to compensate the victims.
This guy is only making a small profit, and the way he did his business wasn't really taking advantage of the "investment".
Shouldn't he be selling more products, ie he paid EURO$388 for the CDs, he should have used the same CDs for many more products at once, and each of them will guarantee the same readership of 30%.
According to the article's image, this 3D approach has two advantages - advertising and landmark spotting.
Since human is good at recognizing patterns and objects, a 3D image of a building/landmark will greatly improve your chance of making that critical turn.
They should have introduced Megatron in '90s, if Transformers allows AMD to use that name; and eventually have Gigatron when they broke the GHz barrier.
The article says it's a 32-bit replacemnent for Duron to compete with Intel's Celeron at around 2.8GHz.
So why don't they just lower Athlon's price enough to compete with Celeron? Or is this Sempron simply a rebranded Athlon, while Duron is a crippled Ahtlon?
At first I thought AMD is introducing a dumped down 64-bit Athlon, that might be something, as the price of Athlon64 is still too expensive.
Recently I have been pondering about using my 512MB SD card as a permanent storage for my computer, so that I can install applications and games and run off it.
However, after further investigation, and the stats from this article, memory card is still too slow for day-to-day computing usage.
USB2.0 is about 480mbps (~60MB/s), so the bottleneck is now with the memory card.
Should we take this news as a shocker, or is it somehow expected in commercial sense? Yahoo can probably claim those businesses are not considered spyware from its point of view, hence no removal.
And how long? How long before we start seeing Anti-Spam filters have built-in mechanism to let associates' spam emails through, even if you blacklisted them.
Flirting is launched if a lady blinks a short, i.e., normal, period of time.
If a lady blinks for a long, (e.g., at least one second), period of time, she's just moisturing her eyes.
Still another meaning (e.g. hey! help me to lie) can be communicated if a lady blinks multiple times within a short period of time, e.g., double blinks
This kind of shutdown is only going to encourage spammers to send out even more junk mails.
Now they know that most servers will eventually not able to cope up with the traffic, they might as well send out randomly-generated '@domain.com' spams until the admin gave in.
Why do they want to make the age requirement public? This can be discretely discussed with the HR department and just filter anyone over xx age out automatically.

One good thing about digital archieve is the possibility to use text-to-speech software to read those emails to people with sight problems.
So will this prevent spammers from sending spams via a Gmail account?
This DomainKeys system relies on both sending and receiving servers to validate an email, will it ever catch on?
I thought the most troublesome part of Hubble is its maintenance costs/schedule? Is this telescope going to cost a lot to run in long term?
:)
Anyway, since this thing is so cheap, we can make 10 of these disposable

I haven't used DivX for 2 years now, how is the quality nowadays?
I would imagine for portable entertainment devices, DivX might come in handy because of the size.
However, if I am to watch something on my home entertainment center, I want the highest quality possible.

It appears in order to get such cut-down version, one must involve the government, the article mentioned both Thail and Malaysian governments.
So why would a government wants MS to cut price, instead of putting more effort to fight for piracy? Is it cheaper that way?

Since Microsoft is one of the big six, why can't it issue a patch which automatically closes open relay?
It can be like a monitoring service (like firewall?) that checks for open relay on the machine on every startup.

For a second I thought you said
"this is definitely the most insensitive iClod...."
$30m divided by 13,000 machines = $2300/machine? Is this the reasonable cost companies should budget for to migration from Windows to Linux?
FYI, One Tree Hill is a suburb in Auckland, New Zealand. And apparently a couple of the code names are based on other suburbs nearby.

Does that mean that the best way to lobby for OpenSource is to lobby for cutting funding in education?
:)
The ministry probably can't even get StarOffice if the budget is cut to $500mil, maybe then they'll start considering OpenOffice

So I guess the fastest is still not fast enough.

Wouldn't such tactic actually drive customers away?

I believe it is still legal to send marketing spams as long as the recepients have given consent, no?
How can we, the spam victims, prove that we NEVER gave consent to such-and-such website?
