You do get what you pay for, and my 17" Dell LCD does not have this problem. I also paid quite alot of money for this monitor. I have found that the larger screens also have slower response times. I can't find a 21" with a response time below 21ms. My 17" has a 12ms response time, much better. Maybe its simply the size of your LCD?
This article makes me wonder, do they not index any banned sites period or are they just not listed in the Chinese version?
If they don't index banned sites period hI think the best way would be to not list them in the chinese version, and in the general version, list them but not cache them. That way there are no broken links for chinese users, they abide by the laws (from my understanding), and we can still see those websites.
I have found re-loading to solve the indefinite loading 100% of the time. Though I only see once a month at most in Firefox.
If anyone wants GMail invites I have many, just ask (e-mail me).
The entire PlanetLab system runs on-top of Linux, I would say that is most certanily an open platform. All their tools include source code, it quite possible to make PlanetLab run on other platforms also.
Intel does have an interest in keeping the Internet going, they just might be foreward thinking enough to realize that if they want to stay in business they are going to have to support things like this even if it does not have immediate financial returns.
Also, Mozilla has to run on somebody's chips, Intel is not a software vendor, all that matters is if people keep buying their chips. Also, Intel will pour money into this because if it is the next big thing they suddenly understand it the best of anybody, and then you have a solutions provider business model, one that works very well.
Any distro based on the 2.6 kernel series will support SATA (Mandrake 10 (my reccomendation), SuSE 9.1, Fedora Core 2, etc.).
I wonder if this will make it harder for people to port Linux to mini devices, it took a while just for normal SATA support in the kernel.
How certain are you? Google has specifically created a policy that says they will NOT adjust search rankings for profit. I think the keywords wouldn't be any different.
Google has a motto "Don't be evil", and I think they might actually be able to stick to it.
I've actually been thinking about that, look at the Blackberry by RIM (http://www.rim.com/). Having used one I can say the device is rather small, about 1 cm thick (thats 2/5 of an inch) and fits comterably in your hand.
I'm certain adding a hard drive wouldn't be too hard, you might need some firmware upgrades but the iPod does just fine with a tiny CPU.
I doubt it would be too hard to build them together, maybe make it a bit thicker but not quites as wide (2 - 2.5 cm thick, somewhere a little under current width). And there you go, you've got GSM / GPRS connectivity (for phone and data), data connections to view your e-mail and browse the web, maybe build the iTunes music store into the device, and a HD for your music. You might have to settle for an iPod mini hard drive (but I doubt it) however even that would make a sweet device, who cares about video when you have all that? Sure it'd be nice, but I'd rather see a phone/data device first.
Your example only sends a message through reference time, not through actual time, for many purposes that is just fine but its not truly saying stuff to the past. The only possibility (I know of) is surrounding the theory that gravity influences the normal flow of time. If you were to park that ship beside a neutron star then you could transmit something back in time, as we understand it. It however may not be possible, as said by someone important (I forget who), "If travel to the past were possible we would be flooded by visitors from the future." And I agree. Don't say we haven't invented it yet, remember, this is timeless, either we annhilate ourselves before we manage to invent time travel/messaging (something that looks more and more likely with certain things I'm not gonna mention to avert flame war) or its not possible. I know there is the example of the Temporal Prime Directive from Starfleet (Star Trek), but I doubt 100% compliance for eternity is likely, plus you add in random, "chance", occurances that we don't have control over and it would seem likely we would have had some visitors by now.
The Google Toolbar for Mozilla is just as good as the one for IE. It has word highlighting, it has multiple searches, the only thing it doesn't have is the pop-up blocker, but Firefox has its own.
As for bookmarks? Mozilla stores them in an HTML file, one that is very easy to parse.
Maybe not Mozilla, but have you tried re-arranging your Firefox toolbar? Its certanily easier to do than IE and you have lots of flexibility, including creating new toolbars.
Maybe some of the things you mentioned aren't in Firefox but Firefox has things IE doesn't (use CSS to block ads, see DoubleClick story on slashdot for links), and many of those things are a trade-off for the security advantage gained.
The execution of code in the local zone was fixed. And Firefox does have vulnerabilities, but they are nowhere near the severity or the frequency of IE vulnerabilities.
I certanily see what your saying, but around here (Toronto, Canada) I do see mainstream media saying "Another IE vulnerability has been found", and they go "visit windowsupdate.microsoft.com for a update to fix the problem". They don't engage in bashing Microsoft, or reccomending Firefox (unfourtunatley) but they do mention the IE bug (though not always with the another at the beggining). Letting people know about Firefox/Mozilla is where we (or atleast I) come in.
Do people care about IE security problems? Most do actually, people just either don't know about the vulnerabilities or if they do they don't know there's anything that can be done.
Everyone I know when I talk to them about how bad IE is, if they listen, switches to Mozilla, I switched my school's computers and those of atleast 60 others.
People are listening now more than ever, its becoming so bad (atleast one a week) the mainstream media is even going "Another Internet Explorer vulverability has been found".
All I tell people is that:
1. Mozilla works faster
2. It has a pop-up blocker
3. It is immune to those once a week IE vulnerabilities
4. You just about don't get spyware (and mention keyloggers). <---The Killer One
And BTW, I use Firefox 0.9.2 (mozilla.org build for Linux/x86) and have never had problems with how/. renders.
Sounds good, I'm annoyed enough to do it. The only problem is the school's administration would listen to them about I might hurt them but not me because I'm talking about a laptop; I go to a tech oriented school with an administration that can't even turn on their own computer. It amazing what they believe when our IT department (which I'm in) says we need something.
. . . but there's a guy I know who regularly picks his Sony laptop up with one hand, open, and gripping the front of the display.
Sounds hte computer lab at my school, people pick up all the iBooks by the screen, gripping it so they're apply alot of force right into the viewable sie of the LCD. People stick those drink umbrellas into the speakers, everything. Me and the teacher always tell people they could break the computer and they respond in varying forms of:
I always do it, to this computer and every other computer, and I don't remember breaking anything yet so you must be wrong
Luckicly for us none of those iBooks have ever died despite atleast 2 years of going through this.
There is no faster way to destroy technology then to put in a school (These iBooks are used by people 14/15).
In addition to this; The author of the article points out that Linux has found more bugs. That is becuase there's so many of us we find the bugs before the system goes into production. In proprietary the bug isn't found until it goes to production, at which point even a tiny bug can be catastrophic.
Also, when Linux when only 1 year old I imagine it was full of bugs, any OS would be, but now its evolved, how many of those Linux bugs have beeni n the past 3-4 years? Probably not many.
Something just tells me that us geeks are going to demand a HUD of Slahdot if its possible with this technology.Imagine how much more interesting meetings would be?
In this situation however they are charing for the binary and including the source. They are complying with 3a. It is true they can't charge more for the soruce but they aren't, the topic is asking if charing for it all is legal, which it is.
Yes, but would it be nice if you could get it for free. Software is always better when there is no monentary transaction is involved, free in both ways is possible, and probably best.
If you read the GPL closely you will notice that it says that in exchange for adding a warranty you can charge for the product, it does not require you to make a version without a waranty availible.
This is both a strength and weakness of the GPL, its what I've always hated but its why its commercially viable.
For years floppys have been used, whats so different about iPods? If they'reworrying about stuff getting on their network they'll need to also ban: floppys, cds, the internet, windows (or atleast IE)
Some of those are much more practical than an iPod or a watch.
For stealing data, e-mail always works, it may be scanned but but encrypt it the scanner wont be able to see what it is. Floppys, CDs, they can both be used, and they aren't much harder or easier. Data is never secure and never will be, thats the nature of anything that can change state so easily.
Also, is you really don't trust employees that much, dont hire them.
I would watch what you do, people who have done this before have been charged/sued. www.icravetv.com has been shut down, the used to pick signals from the airwaves and broadcast it on the internet for free, they lost the lawsuit. If you're going to do this I reccomend being very careful and making sure its just for you (i.e. password protect it).
I'll say VB becuase people who are non technical will respong much better to a GUI than to pure text. Being able to make graphical programs with click n' drag makes you feel like you've accomplished alot but with little code. If you feel you can do alot you'll be interested instead of defeated.
And $150 CAD for learning edition will be fine, or working model edition included free with certain VB books.
I will agree with what has been said above, start with HTML. I don't suggest keeping HTML though, once she is comfterable with HTML (not nessesarily advanced) i'll reccomened VB, (please don't call me a troll for reccomending an MS product, I fell guilty enough without other people saying it) it is a very easy language to figure out. After VB she'll probably have her own decision about what to do next.

A quick Google search will give you a reasonable answer.
SOA is Service-Oriented Architecture. Makes sense doesn't it?
