For a while, I was worried that the medical establishment would NOT provide another excuse for people with poor impulse control who refuse to take responsibility for their lives.
While I had not anticipated a semantics issue, I will conceed the point (I should have been more clear). If laptop employees are *in one of our buildings*, then they have a choice...the connectivity is always there (both physical and wireless), but I agree if they choose not to connect, they would not be on the network. If they are not in one of our buildings, I can make no claim as to the availability of a connection.
it could certainly represent a boon to businesses and individuals with constant network connectivity.
The company for which I work has over 30,000 employees, and I've not seen a newtork disconnect lasting more than 10 minutes in the last 5 years...that's potentially a lot of licenses (or Enterprise licenses) that will not have to be purchased.
I'd say so...despite the detractors, I've been able to use MySQL for many highly trafficed sites, and heavily used applications. Does it have the full robustness of Oracle? Of course not, but it also does not come with the accompanying price tag.
Choice of db software is just that...a choice. I can envisage situations in which I may prefer having Oracle, but to be honest, MySQL addresses most day to day situations more than adequately.
It's a real db, IMO.
Can one really patent a medium? I'm not convinced that such a patent would stand up to what I'm sure would be numerous legal challenges. It is not as direct as attempting to patent advertising in other mediums (pick your poison), but it seems to be skirting the edge.
"It's the worst kind of vigilante approach," Mr Levine told the AP news service. "Deliberate attacks against people's websites are illegal."
To be honest, I'm not that concerned with the rights of spammers. Although there are some problems with this approach, it may have have the desired effect to a certain degree...have at it!
To combat this, and see how it performed out of orbit, could it not have been launched from orbit? In any case, this is pretty interesting...I'm keen to see the results.
I've found that a 'standard' is often something that is found to be merely acceptable by the majority, not specifically desired or due to it's excellence. Standards are commonly just that...the minimal acceptable process/result.

The dearly beloved "run the turbines at Military Power 'til they blow up" Scribner on your staff who suggests sticking their foot through the floorboards by tweaking Firefox & setting "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to "30" connections (This means it will make 30 requests at once.)

"#13 Great little tips, but only one problem, and that's that you're breaking servers by doing this. 3-5 requests is fine, but trying to do 30 requests at once puts some strain on the server. If two people try to access the same page at once with this set, that's 60 connections. Most httpd's are set to cut off after there are 100 connections made. So, 4 people with this set could not access the same site. I urge you to think things through before setting something like this and killing the websites you browse."
You've got some valid points, but I've got to say that as a linux user, I'd be a little leery of of anything they developed for linux, at least until I had a chance to dissect it.

Whew!
A little different that my usual pickup line, but what the heck!
Is that some sort of dig?
Not the most definitve source, but this should give you an adequate overview:

My records show 400+ late night calls to Cowboy Neal...now he'll never answer!
Sounds like the final push to get Vista out the door is on! Winner gets to stay on as scapegoat for any problems encountered.

I'd go with Ubuntu...I've run it on less, with no problems.

I'm downloading it at a fantastic rate, and it's available as soon as it's been designed!
Those are some pretty high end specs being reccomended, including a
pressure-sensitive graphics tablet supporting the WinTab interface....
How many takers is that going to get?
I guess the degradation could not have been solved in this manner, as it's the sunlight itself that is causing it.

Fluidic Space? I knew I saw species 8472 around here the other day!
My apologies...I'd not seen the retraction.
Eccleston, whose first appearance as the ninth Doctor attracted 10 million viewers, said he feared being typecast.
:)
Can one really be typecast as the sole surviving Time Lord? Did he think his next gig would be in a sitcom of a similar premise?
Or the proliferation of moronic, grammar related replies on /. Both good examples.

Are you saying that Microsoft funded a study that came to a M$ favourable conclusion? I'm shocked...oh wait...

What about producing any app for linux?
