to get a used cheap nokia phone off ebay ($6.99), a nokia serial cable and just write software to access the sim contents? i.e. reusing an old phone as a sim reader?
though novel and educational, I don't see the reason for the effort when I can use existing h/w.
He did politicize it though. If that's good or bad, I leave it up to you.
Vint (at our good-ol 'BnL' MCI telco at the time), UCLA, CMU, everyone else--guess what? They needed the internet politicized. Two words: FUNDING (universities) and CONTROL (telcos). Funny how agendas rapidly cloud progress and then... history.
"Apple breaking ties with its legacy OS when OS X was built"
OSX is still a properitary, monolithic OS. Last I recall it was legacy code from NextStep, with a few niceness of another, better monolithic OS, Linux/BSD.
The NYT writer is smoking something I don't want.
... or the Google marketing engine (which appears to advertise a lot on NYT) is in full swing today.
Wireless in a car should be more for infrastructure robustness than end user applications. More applications in a car that require user interaction (i.e. REST apps) is a recipe for disaster.
This thread is sounding like a huffington post comment forum.
Wrap it up folks: Obama will likely win the nomination. He does NOT have the guaranteed votes until the supers vote in the DNC convention. Obama fans have split the party, not HRC (look at the childish comments from the intellectuals!). HRC holds the keys to the kingdom, but Obama-fans can easily screw it up. McCain is an idiot. Obama's issues are the same as HRC's and his solutions originated from both Clintons--this shows nothing revolutionary, ingenious, bold, or exceptional. Corporations will still rule--where's you're 401K coming from and who Obama's biggest supporter (Goldman + Harvard)?
The supreme court is mainly republican, congress is split (Pelosi = fail!), and Obama will win by <5%. And Obama will have a mandate from his fans, such that GWB had a mandate, and he won by 3%. GWB sure accomplished a lot the last 4 yrs? Likely my ass that the status quo will change over the next 4 yrs.
Political junkies may now return to digg. Slashdot is for nerds.
Money is a good tool for exercising power, period.
Gov't has realized that business practices and a business's raw resource, money, equate to power over the people. It's corporate gospel nowadays. Just like gov't getting involved in the sub-prime mess (to make money), outsourcing (to make money) and information sharing and manipulation (to make money on wall street), and services (to make money). And when adding more lawyers to the mix just completes the politicization of a industry.
I'm happy that slashdot has not given-in to politicking like the other popular tech websites.... yet... (the politics section is starting to slide guys).
Let's face it, B Gates has done more than any politician (according to what news says today about the DNC race) in the last 20 yrs. Good luck Big B.
Now if MS would enhance foldershare to have a Microsoft "apps group", you could get all your software and updates through a P2P subscription model. Cool.
if outlook had a clearly identified [PRINT] button, then email would be preferred over fax. Funny how the perception of paper with a requirement of 1 extra step (i.e. press a print button) creates such a backwards mentality.
If you look at just cars, a 69 charger is about the same weight as the 2008 charger for instance. It's the trucks and SUV that are >2 tons--and there's a lot of them running around nowadays compared to 20yrs ago.
Though cars are creeping up on weight: cars are getting heavier because of materials to decrease NVH. You can tune as much into the suspension, but a light car will always rattle, toss and bump in most situations (a gokart comes to mind)--yet, solid iron (i.e. heavy cars) will not rattle as much.
I agree, that opt-out allows companies to make mistakes by not doing their do-diligence in quest for the almightly dollar (or euro nowadays). And the likelihood of you recovering to 100% before the 'act' is very, very unlikely--you still incur some penalty.
But I'm sure they can still subcontract through other vendors. It's just that they won't make as much money.
IBM has been banned several times from other agencies. My old place, they were banned for 2 years, but then sub-ed to SAIC in the mean time. Nothing new here.
This is just a higher level thinking of parallelism applied to business logic.
This is a time to rethink the business logic--i.e. MBA 's need to start thinking about the behavior of their new-idea systems (i.e. the get rich quick schemes). Hence why this guy is generating buzz that the mechanics of parallel processing has matured enough that we can now have a paradigm change in the business world. IBM has been pushing this the last 2 yrs with its Grid computing initiative. Therefore in the end, it's all about hype and the Benjamins.
At the application and lower levels--these ideas been around and proven for the last 10years.
You take an extremely robust, complex OS and pair it up with a complex, robust/political organization will equate to.... a mess.
All this collaboration will do is create 5% really good gems, and 95% throw away code--and it will take 4yrs to see any result knowing how fast both organization move.
I like openSolaris, but I unless Nexenta gets it butt in gear, Linux will win hands down on the usability front.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, IVY league schools only offer one true benefit:
access (i.e. social/business networking)
The country's not as fair as you think.

Gore did not invent the Internet.
He did politicize it though. If that's good or bad, I leave it up to you.

IMO, politicizing the internet was a bad thing.
A tree hugger would be worried at this point.
Would this be classified as going green? HA!
"You can take your devices anywhere, and when you plug it into the wall the little meter records how much electricity you use."
So you're saying cloud computing is just a computer network with distributed apps. Genius.
Nice explanation, but I see the corporate consultants strike again.
either we'll have information about everyone anytime, anywhere or...
just the gov't will have that capability.
both cases are still great examples of information overload... What ever happen to computers "helping"?

better sound control. Or better yet, video capability.
Then I can finally play videos in the browser AND interact with them...
I would like to remove flash as soon as possible....
sounds like an advertisement.
Google is still a search and advertisement company and that's pretty much it.
Or Ebay's...
Wireless in a car should be more for infrastructure robustness than end user applications. More applications in a car that require user interaction (i.e. REST apps) is a recipe for disaster.
Then again, VOIP would be a killer app in a car.

Doubt it will happen though.

Hence I guess it's trivial technology. We already know how to fly to Mars... Trival. Really!
I thought building it would be more like Astrophysics.
rid us of the problems with resolving, merging, and hopefully an ease to file versioning.

after being screwed of course.

Now there's a simple algorithm that works. And beats even page rank.

Obviously this guy has never taken a 300-level physics course, like theromdynamics or PDE. Much more teeth pulling than anything he's mentioned.
Then again, I'd take the photoelectric effect over heat anyday.
