Basically, the previous generation already learned of the corruption in Congress and are now taking advantage of that aspect since they are 'now' in Congress. Of course, the younger generations, i.e. the workers, are now just learning about the corruption in congress...
Pay $150-200 for a Blu-Ray drive integrated into the console now. Or pay $75-100 for a HD-DVD dettached drive later. We know HDDVD content will come out this year sometime...
If a good number of Blu-Ray content comes out before the PS3 hits the streets, that will render XBox and it's HDDVD useless--why? you know the PS3 hype will be evident next Nov. and the logically conclusion for early adopters is to buy the best stuff (HDDVD into the 360s will likely be a hack) cause you get what you pay for. Not to flame 360 fanboys, just taking a non-techincal approach to the situation.
Until users realize they can multitask on a single webpage (i.e. webapp) and that developers can find real needs for real-time data [streams], AJAX/Web 2.0 will be another useless cool thing--to be surpassed by something simplier, likely UI improvements (and XHTML/CSS has taken care of that angle).
The browsing paradigm needs to change for this technology to be of any use, we are too stuck on the static webpage. Why? cause 1. users are used to navigating pages and 2. developers are still designing for 'multiple pages' in a website/portal. I think we need to switch from bottom up design to top down (workflow logic) with more focus on the controller layer.
BTW, as we get more mobile, our attention spans will actually improve and be more focused, since we'll have information we want to review on demand; more time to focus on that information. As for security, the internet as a whole needs to improve it's trust system, not authenication & authorization. Or users just keep their private data private: that is, offline.
Most animals are path oriented. Could be why cats & dogs can find their way 'home'. When taking our cats for a walk (yes, on a leash) into a new area, they always stay on a path. If we turn around, they pull us towards that same route back to the car (cause they want to go home...). And when they walk back appear more confident in stride. Considering rats are more intelligent, this theory does have traction.
Of course, it doesn't take a MIT researcher to figure that out, just funding and identification that's it should be important.
Data != information, data exploitation == information.
Unless heathcare gets cheaper it would not be wise to keep implanting new chips:
All you need is some innocent bystander standing in front of the building entrance with a distrupter. Better yet, some automated device... Now that would give new meaning to a 'DoS' attack.
Imagine that--"Honey I could go to work today cause I couldn't get in..." Not good business-wise.
JBoss lost a lot when Geronmino started up--taking a lot of the original developers.
It's makes sense for Oracle to purchase another bloated app server--9iAS was a complete failure from an Orion standpoint--it got way out of hand in features and was too tied with EJB2.0. JBoss will help them break out of the 2.0 environment and with a more flexible, high performance appserver. Hopefully they learned their lesson from the Orion experience.
As for Spring/LAMP, EJB3.0 has a lot of changes to the point of a redesign that it's silly not to exclude it as a stack option--and may as well be the future. And yes, give credit to JBoss for motivating EJB3.0.
Basically, this assures us that Linus is looking at the happy medium on how GPL code should work. The GPLv3 folks are graviting towards the extreme restrictions of free code so that no corporation can exploit it, immediately forcing the concepts (IP to those business-oriented) behind the code to the same 'levels' regardless of origin. Those restrictions will cause the same heartache as EULAs--i.e. the opposite end of the spectrum.
Hence, I agree with Linus's opinions--there's a balance on usage rather than publishing a law (i.e. license).
Why? Well it's because this is the age of the information society, AND the American people do not have the capacity to understand what most data mining engineers do: that's information exploitation, which from the help of technology (i.e. computers), people have the capacity for gathering domenstic intel from businesses to your neighbor, likely to exploit you. The current administration, which has a direct relationship to the George H. Bush Center for Intelligence knows intimately about this, the basic notion that information == control == power.
It's not information wants to free, but information wants to be exploited (implicity defining data vs. information!), hence you can be exploited. That is were the problem is, the gov't is supposed to safeguard your information, i.e. privacy (not protect you, BTW), but currently with the FISA laws and how the 'orders' were issued, it appears to be questionable.
Back in 2001, a closed session of cleared congressmen, and a pork-barrel-like clause to change FISA would have solved this debate, cause I doubt citzens nor enemies are really reading the fine print in our current laws (as convoluted as they are). Instead, the administration came in cowboy style and ignored the system, and there's a critical reason why a system is there in the 1st place. Note, why things played out as well is because of the incapacity of our agencies to communicate "out of the box", non-linear in technical aspects. And that should have been fixed first before ignoring the system. We have 2 competing systems, domestic (Justice Dept) and international (DoD), and FISA was somewhat helpful in drawing the lines. It should have been reviewed back then...
If you have the right skills, and a good resume, the companies will fit the typical 5pm-7pm interview (i.e. work very early, leave early). Better yet, the happy hour interview is a nice setup (free beer).
For you (and recent grads), uh, you're currently learning what we all old-timers learned when we were young--it's called time management--it's an important skill and there's no quick hack or quick receipe to it. Time management says you can't do everything, sleep is actually a nice thing and some sacrifices maybe needed. It's all about priorities: if finding a job is a higher priority, then that will pretty much dictate whether you should work the extra 4 hours, do the team lunch with the manager, or hit all the brainstorming/social meetings, etc... Time management in college is much different, even if you worked in college.
For instance, the president should be worried more about children typing: www.whitehouse.com ! And that's a legit site!
It's the right thing for Google to refuse. Politicans are taking the easy way out and using non-social methods for social control (i.e. teaching your kids and parent ABOUT the internet is a more effective route).
Why didn't Apple just go with AMD? Their newer chips are much more power efficient and faster than Intel's...
No flame, but is this due to big company slowness (they decided to go Intel back in the Celeron days and could manuver when AMD released the alst 2 years...)?
"Don't put your most profitable content into CD or e-book form, sell that portion of it in a face-to-face mechanism."
And instead spend boats loads of money advertising it. For instance, you need to goto Disney World to get a Disney experience, but now, with portable media, the parks are in a huge slump--cause you need to pay for all the resources and advertising to get the face-to-face interaction.
Supply and demand account for the majority of the sale, but you need to know the tastes of your market--portable media maybe (and usually nowadays) the way to go.
Portable media maximizes distribution and miminal cost--it's portable!
Mr. Nash, Microsoft has advertised many times it's concept of the integrated approached to software architecture. What security concepts or technologies do you see in your software stack that supports the OS group's decision that this approach is the correct/superior choice? (examples?) That's considering many of your competitor's follow very different architectural philosophies.
In addition, with more [popular] 3rd parties not getting their DLLs/Drivers/applications "logo-certified" though the Microsoft process (i.e. conforming to the integrated architecture), how is Microsoft prepared to handled security breaches/defects from non-conforming plugins/3rd parites?
That there's Open Source Software (OSS) and really a Free Software community. Thinking about it, the 2 do have difference in application. Hence, there's OSS and free software, where FOSS is subset. That's a business take on this. Unfortunately 98% of the non-technical people can't grasp this, considering the same 98% doesn't understand what a [linux] kernel is.
A lot of content producers want access to [their] purchased media, hence why DRM fails, you break the security of the node that's really built to be independent. Then again, having centralized control makes administration & enforcement easy.
You have 2 conflicting models here.
For DRM to succeed, there needs to be a decentalized model. Apple fairplay eludes to it, but Apple too wants easy administration, hence a centralized system is the result. Businesses don't want to do things the hard way anyhow...
"Do not worry about your difficulties in mathematics, I assure you that mine are greater. - Albert Einstein "
Because all Physicists know they suck in Math. Too much disclipine involved! Ugh!
All we need is a computer that reacts accordingly when subjected to the theory of 'sensitivity to small initial conditions', that's non-linear behavior and our current computing methodology needs to change to that paradigm from the linear/procedural methodology--that's why AI currently is a pipe dream (using linear methods and technology based on linear theory to solve a non-linear problem). Going non-linear is when creativity will be achieved.
It goes to show that technology doesn't cost jobs, it reallocates the work. To reintegrate that lost worker--educate him in something else--discovery & learning are core virtues of math & science. Any mindless task can be done with a mindless device.
For instance, why are we trying to create oxygen when the plants are do that work for us? Hmmm, must be that abstract concept called "need to comsume" or the plants 'fired us'.
This relationship will not last long. I mean look at Apple's main site for the Macbook. It doesn't use Intel's new logo, just some stupid Apple gif. Hah, some partnership....
If you were a Sr. DBA or DB architect being paid triple figures. Deleting those accounts would be done with [i]your[/i] schema setup/install scripts. It would be second nature to secure the DB at the install (as taught in many Oracle adv. DBA classes).
"[i]"It's still very theoretical right now"[/i]
I'm sorry for possibly flaming now, but this is FUD from GmbH firm to a US firm. Informational yes, serious not really (for enterprises that is).
Since 4/5 of all users are on a windows, Google is taking a Linux-Distro approach to strengthing their presense/services--just that Windows is the Kernel. Compared that to Apple who has to maintain a OS[X] as well as their services following the Microsoft integrated approach.
DVD player with progressive scan, component video outputs, video processing controls--$46, great quality (just got one 3 weeks ago).
Yeah right like the DVD is dead.
Production-wise DVDs maybe dead since there's a huge surplus of hardware, but the technology will be around for awhile.
I'm tried of the marketing blitz strategies by companies and industry groups nowadays, especially since CES started, it's hype-overload and false and sickining.
I make Ads on TV "non-linear".--that they 'popup' according to your [google] habits (like the google customized home page). For most people, watching Desperate Housewives and seeing a commerical break every 5 mins is very annoying--ad relevance and google adsense would serve no useful purpose here. That's why Tivo works, solve that problem and Tivo becomes yesterday's news. The Ads need to be displayed when it's appropriate to your habits--cause Madison Ave knows: people buy off impulse 90% of the time.

So...when does a corporate blog equate to a press release or credible fact/policy?
"Go back to start"...
And my k700i does the same & it's 2 yrs old (JP version). The MS stuff sounds like a repackage of existing tech--could be better, but we'll see.

Jobs made his money on the American Dream: Creativity, risk, and ba11s. Gates made his money from being at the right place (w/IBM) at the right time.
Looks like the latter makes more cash, the former, more fame, maybe more well-being.
To an individual, both are good things. To the general population, that's TBD--the history books will decide.
I've yet to see a creative, gusty person that takes high risks and be at the right place, right time.
Why? Well it's because this is the age of the information society, AND the American people do not have the capacity to understand what most data mining engineers do: that's information exploitation, which from the help of technology (i.e. computers), people have the capacity for gathering domenstic intel from businesses to your neighbor, likely to exploit you.
