I'm a big believer that price and cost should reflect each other. The cost of cars is huge: in road construction, in highway deaths, in pollution. The price doesn't reflect the cost because those in power--companies that ship their goods by truck, the highway lobby, auto companies and their unions--like being subsidized. Classic American politics: the screaming of the minority is heard over the grumbling of the majority.
If they don't like the DNS system, they don't have to use it. Same for HTTP. Same for TCP. Whatever.
ICANN can continue to define the standards and American companies will continue to implement them. Do you think people in France will be thrilled when France decides to do something different? That they can no longer access all the other sites.
Who needs global standards when you have defacto standards.
You need not be convinced. I've just seen several times when exploits have been around since XP shipped, but they were only compromised after the patch came out.
Microsoft knows this happens. But, as I said, it doesn't mean we Microsoft shouldn't fix bugs as quickly as possible.
Slow down turbo. In this case blaster was created by looking at the patch that it exploited. It only affected unpatched systems.
I won't argue that the longer one waits the bigger the window for an exploit, but given that a large number of exploits are created from looking at patches, it makes sense to compress the patch time so that sys admins can make time to make sure their infrastructure is updated all at once.
You may have the start of a point, but certainly not with reguard to blaster.
It's like saying we shouldn't go to ranked voting because it's "too complicated". I'm all for making people think harder...even if it's just once a year.
When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind" statement, but followed it by several remarks, including the usual COM traffic between him, the other astronauts, and Mission Control. Before he re-entered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky."
Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, [they found] there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.
Over the years, many people have questioned him as to what the "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" statement meant. On July 5, in Tampa Bay, FL, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26- year-old question to Armstrong. He finally responded. It seems that Mr. Gorsky had died and so Armstrong felt he could answer the question. When he was a kid, Neil was playing baseball with his brother in the backyard. His brother hit a fly ball which landed in front of his neighbors' bedroom window. The neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorksy. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, he heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky, "Oral sex? Oral sex you want? You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

It is possible to hate the job a guy does and at least acknoweledge that he's in a bad spot and is probably having to put up with a lot of bull shit through no fault of his own.
I'd dance up and down if we could close all of the coal mines tomorrow, but that doesn't mean I want all coal miners to starve. Let's show a little empathy...
I'm not saying we should reverse the rules to save jobs. No way. But that doesn't make it bad to point out a lot of people are going to have to find jobs in an already bad job market.
The whole "it's too big to hold up to my ear" issues is going away. I never use my cell phone w/ out an ear bud.
A friend of mine has Jaba Freespeak Bluetooth Headset that rocks. He can put his phone on his desk and call me from the coach w/ voice dialing. Bloody cool.
Text book writers update a small % of the actual content, but change all of the questions (slightly). Otherwise books would last for 10 years and they couldn't make money every year.
Intro EE hasn't changed much in the last 15 years. (What has could be handed out as a packet.) But new books were issued every 3.
We Do (The Stonecutter's Song) 2F09 - 8th January 1995
Who controls the British crown? Who keeps the metric system down? We do! We do! Who keeps Atlantis off the maps? Who keeps the Martians under wraps? We do! We do! Who holds back the electric car? Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star? We do! We do! Who robs the cave fish of their site? Who rigs every Oscar night? We do! We do!
Transportation costs to space and manufacturing processes need to come together...oh yeah, and we need to figure out that whole fusion thing. But once we're there, science knows of no better energy source (outside of anti-matter).
From an article on rediff.com: "According to a study by a team of stargazers based at the Australian National University, there are 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (70,000 million million million, or 70 sextillion) stars in the known universe."
That's 2^76. Leaving only 2^52 addresses per system...and that's assuming perfect routing.:-)

Ian Clarke, the project's inventor, said in an interview that the RIAA's recent legal actions and threats of additional lawsuits have heightened interest in Freenet. "The Freenet site has seen a threefold increase in Web traffic since the RIAA announcement," Clarke said. "We've received more donations to the project in the last week than we had in the past two months before that."

Yeah, it is kind of complex.
You know what would be easier? Just let the guy in charge now stay in charge and have his oldest son take over when he dies.
See...no complicated voting problems...no annoying campaigns...

Complete BS.
Bought a printer at Fry's: After rebate, $40.
USB cable to plug it to my computer: $15.
Bullshit.
If the parent were diligent about removing the tracker if/when they find out the .torrent is corrupt this wouldn't happen.
BT kicks ass, except when it doesn't. Don't get all pissy.
Reverse the left and right mouse buttons.
Simple and most people have no clue how to fix it.
This one works: trailer2.mpg.torrent
The FAQ for setting up files needs some work. This was too hard to figure out.
Shit. This MPEG got corrupted.
So much for my first attempt and serving Torrents.
Sorry, kids.
Knock yourself out: Myst trailer2.mpeg.torrent
Doesn't remind anyone of the Apple 1984 commercial?
What Apple did to IBM, IBM is doing to MS.

For one reason: He3.

1KG of He3 is worth $6 million.

Good enough reason for me.
EXACTLY!!

Tell him to post a picture if he expects to get a good response from this crowd.
