That's funny. I bet mail order DVD rentals are doing really well. With Tivo and 2 dvds in the mail a week means I haven't watched a commercial since I started doing this. I wish all TV episodes would come out on rental almost immediately so if it is good and people are talking about it then I will watch it. As for anyone watching commercials save yourself about 25 minutes of time foreach (perl:) hour program and start using some kind of PVR and in combination mail order DVD rentals. One day I am going to cease paying for cable and go over the air only if the DVD thing pans out.
Does the software you're running take advantage of the dual cores for multithreading though>
So Intel is doing something crazy by making dual core processors because application haven't had to think about multiprocessors right?
Well, change is inevitable and developers can't stick their head into sand and stay that way forever. Intel recognizes that change has to occur in the development community to enhance performance their product line. What better way then introducing dual cores? This will force programmers to start thinking about programming their application with multi - user, threading, layer, etc' thus over time, the application will be better utilized for the future.
Nope an even better solutions is bugmenot and mailinator. Fill out the form giving really goofy information and for the email address use the (companysite)@mailinator.com. If the company have a confirmation link just check it at mailinator with the login of the compnaysite. Save the information to bugmenot and share the joy. I think there should be a profit step somewhere.
How long does it take for the computer to boot up? 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes? Take what you make a minute and calculate if the company saved any money. I bet the 2.2 cent savings for turning off your computer doesn't add up to what you make per minute. Thus, you're costing the company money. You also have to remember that there is a higher probability of a computer not booting when being turned on rather than letting the computer run overnight, as the computer has already booted which would also negate any net savings.
Turning off the CRT monitor is the biggest saving a company will see. Next, turn off the lights in your work location.
It is known that at one time Mars had a magnetic field somewhat equivalent to Earth. Mars had a thicker atmosphere but nothing compared to the atmosphere of Venus. When the core of both planets stopped spinning; the atmosphere of one was wiped away while the other wasn't.
Now let me speculate that the atmosphere of Venus is thick enough on it's own to prevent the solar winds from wiping it off the face while Mars never had such a thick atmosphere. Mars had to have the protection of a magnetic field to have an atmosphere.
Very good data about the fields were found on a quick search: I like these two http://www-ssc.igpp.ucla.edu/personnel/russel l/pap ers/venus_mag/ http://www-ssc.igpp.ucla.edu/perso nnel/russell/pap ers/mars_mag/
It's been speculated for many years to reproduce gas emissions on Mars as we do on this planet. The atmosphere was thicker on Mars then it is now; yet you have to go back to the problem that caused the atmosphere to thin in the first place. As it turns out, the core of the planet slowed down or event stop spinning causing the magnetic field to disappear.
Unless the core spins to shield the planet from the solar winds then anything done will only be temporary. The sun will simply blow off any thick atmosphere. Alas a pipe dream to teraform the whole planet unless you take some ideas from the movie Space Balls.

I don't know what sigma level Microsoft is at but with 2 defects per 100 is 360000 per 1,000,000 lines of code. That puts them at a sigma level between 3 and 4. The Majority of software makers are below that. Yet if MS were six-sigma (they sell software that tracks it) they would have only 61 defects for those 18 million lines of code. NASA isn't six-sigma as there are only a few companies in the world that can achieve that kind of quality. Its like purifying gold - it gets exponentially tougher and tougher the purer you try to achieve.
Don't fall into the copyright trap. If somone wanted to steal his work, they would but no one would get away with it and would be flushed out really fast. Imainge if somone had this on their resume, a quick google search would get the facts straight.
What other higher order specie that has multi planet colonization did he do his evaluation against? What was the success rate of the multi planet effort - would it have been better to spend those resources maintaining quality on one planet?
So he writes about volcanic activity, planetoid impacts and solar disasters. What if we spent all our resources on keeping the planet safe? We could drill out pressure of volcanoes and build super bombs for planetoids. If our sun goes all bets are off though we need to find another solar system but I bet we could figure out something in 4.5 billion years.
But all in all he is correct I am just point out a con; however, I don't think that ~5 billion people could be wiped out by any single event that left the planet habitable afterwards.
if you are a developer or software engineer working for PeopleSoft, you will be retained. If you are a PeopleSoft salesperson or a help desk employee, you better start looking for work.
You forgot the big one - If you're a Board of Director, you better start looking for work. You don't think the Oracle will retain any Directors or VPS after dragging their feet so much making it being so difficult in merging.
There are more advanced security schemas. I know some places I have worked use securids where if you get possession of the key chain and know their userid, then you can become them. This isn't any good.
A little bit better solution is having a securid login with a pin code - still not quite there as I only have to get your login name, secuid key chain and guess what your 4 digit pin is.
The best password schema I have seen so far is where the securid and pin are integrated so that the seed in the random number generator for synced securids is the pin - the securids are just random numbers where the next number is based on some fixed patter and the number is only good for 60 seconds. But this still this has a few holes, I could figure out the pattern in securid and brute force the pin then re-add the pin as the seed. But for nowadays, this is best I have.
I imagine this technology illegal if someone hooked this mind control up to a tivo like machine - when a commercial is playing you could think "I wish to skip this commercial" and the remote does basically a fast forward. Yeah we read the other day on/. that skipping commercial will be illegal one day so no one get a bright idea in making a mind control remote for tivo or we'll have to ban this too.
You are correct in the money respect. But the real issues are that vendors don't have incentives to keep the customers happy under the region other than a few mad customers. If the users/owners could come into a unified agreement in the region so that they could boot a bad wireless vendor than said vendors would have a much higher incentive of resolving dropped calls or no service.
This is a pet peeve of mine. Why should the FCC be able to sell spectrum for a region giving basically a monopoly to the bidder. I would much prefer that the FCC leases the spectrum to vendors and the income goes back to the people that rightfully own it (the land owners over the given region - you and me). It isn't the FCC's property to sell and it doesn't force vendors to address issues fast enough.
How about removing the phone companies from the picture and just have basically Route your call like DNS does or like DHCP giving you an IP address. Instead of dialing a phone number you would dial something like voip://yourname.yourhost.com.
Instead of using Adblock we need Ad-Double-Block. With Ad-Double-Block you wouldn't not only block the image but use spare bandwidth to repeatedly click on add banners behind the scenes. If I understand the article correctly, the software reads your email and sends clicks through to the web sites listed that are in a spam box(?) while the screen saver is on throttling back when the site slows. Of course you should be able to configure the pain threshold for the sites.

I dont have a problem with overhead. I use UUE downloads quite a bit which inflates the size ~30%.
This thing could be even bigger if the traffic was encrypted. No - stop and imagine.
