The order now requires the plaintiffs to show cause, no later than November 29th, why the ex parte order she'd signed at the RIAA's request should not be vacated.
I have trouble understanding legal lingua. I therefore ask somebody to explain the above quote. That is to say: What is it to "show cause?" Thanks.
This will be a simple one for Vonage customers. What I know Vonage will do is to increase charges for their customers. From their present customer base, a flat 0.1% charge will solve that cash flow issue.
Having read all the 10 reasons given, I can only conclude that they sound like "cries of a bad workman - who blames his tools!"
In other words, the complainants appear to be incompetent. I support 326 IT staff including 129 that have laptops loaded with mostly WindowsXP and Ubuntu. Apart from gettimg lost (which does not happen often), I do not see any trouble at all.
he generator based on elliptic curves called Dual_EC_DRBG has been has been championed by the NSA and contains a weakness that can only be described a backdoor.
As a person, I am not very surprised. Software can be hard to develop. But on the other hand, I wonder what we as a nation (USA) can ever get right.
When I thought we had [finally] got the Boeing 787 Dreamliner right, I was informed the execution of the whole project was flawed.
Result? The plane will be delayed by more than 6 months, not to mention that a big chunk of the plane is manufactured abroad. I continue to be disappointed.
Can someone tell me how Google will make money off this open source platform? Individual phone companies will create their own apps and port them to the phones. How will Google cash in? May be via ads but suppose the phone companies refuse.
Though I do not underestimate the level of need in the so called "poor" world, I wonder why the OLPC folks think everyone in America can afford this PC. We have poverty in America too, and people are living from hand to mouth.
I will agree that what America has is what I could call "material prosperity". There appears to be infrastructure everywhere but people are hurting in the pockets. These days, the American dollar has also taken a hit, so everyday stuff is expensive.
From this heading alone, I'd conclude that defection is the other way round. That is to say, the defection is from Google to Microsoft.The story suggests otherwise.
A quick google shows this: "China's bid to divide the Internet" [slate.com] where the author slams china's development of a high speed internal network and participation in protocol design.
The author of that article should be reminded that nations of the world are free to determine their own destiny good or bad just like the US did and continues to do.
For example the US as a nation has single handedly contributed to the devaluation of the dollar, messed up in Iraq and pushed vast numbers of its own population into poverty. No nation complains about this.
Although the initial purpose of this year's summit was to cover such issues as spam, free speech and cheaper access, it appears that nations such as China, Iran, and Russia, among others, would rather discuss US control of the Internet.
Instead of whining, these nations should explore means of setting up a separate Internet backbone. I understand this is entirely possible, though I cannot speculate on how it could be implemented at all. Go figure!
If what I am reading is correct, then that's good for Nigeria. I must admit that I thought corruption was a problem of the 3rd world alone. But now, we see that a [major] US corporation was perpetuating corruption.
No wonder our economy is almost in doldrums. Can we sue Microsoft in any court of law? The other day, a senator from the south was fighting corruption charges.
To those Africans and poor nations of the world that I was prejudiced about, I say: "I am sorry," since I now realize that the "cancer" of corruption is alive and well in societies that are known to be well off economically.
I wasn't aware that PC-type is suddenly a benchmark for speed...
Well, in my experience with Rogers Cable in Canada, which is a major ISP and telecommunications company, surfing at the same advertised speed using a cell phone and computer was never the same. The PC was significantly faster. Donno why though.
I'd speculate that there is a "technical problem" [or trade off] with the way cell phones get their Internet access. But that's speculation so I could be way wrong here.
In my situation, I can only be interested in these systems if I can watch CSPAN online and out of the box. Question is: Can I watch CSPAN on these boxes without much configuration? Hope so.
If these claims are right, I urge folks to try PCLinuxOS. Having tried it two weeks ago, I can say that I am very very impressed. In fact, I find it better than all other Linux distros I have tried.
The article talks about corporations that have laid off IT staff and replaced them with technologies like mashups and wikis that can help people get things done without involving IT.
I disagree because those so called Web 2.0 applications run on hardware and software that have to be maintained.
Though there might be some level of "hemorrhaging" of jobs in the "traditional" Web or Internet spheres, more jobs are created by this change alone.
As an example, Google alone has some pretty serious data centers across the African continent that are just as technologically advanced as in the UK or USA for example. This would not be the case if it were not for Web 2.0.
It appears work still has to be done in getting the word out that in some cases, a Windows refund is still possible. I remember reading right here on Slashdot that a refund was possible. In fact there is s a website having info in this very topic. It went off-line long ago! It was www.wondowsrefund.net.
I wonder why it took Google so long to implement IMAP. Sometimes I wonder whether Google is becoming so huge and complex that issues as important as IMAP can take so long to implement. This is where Microsoft is at. Sadly.
When it came to Ubuntu 7.10, a distro I love and find easy to work with, Zimbra failed me completely. There does not seem to be an install-ready Ubuntu or Debian package, though I hear Zimbra is an open source solution.
Their [flash] demo is quite impressive. I haven't seen anything that comes close to Zimbra's style, features and capabilities. I will check out Citadel. This is new to me. Thanks.
Where does Linux go from here? Well, distros can make Linux better. What about making total solutions possible. My gripe is with normal server tasks. When it comes to email serving for example, one has to deal with several pieces in order to have a "total solution." How about making total solutions a main-stream paradigm?
The other day, one former Bush insider was also "telling all!" And just last night, I watched the former CIA spy saying something similar about her former job and bosses. What's going on? Are these new trends?
Slashdot Mirror
I have trouble understanding legal lingua. I therefore ask somebody to explain the above quote. That is to say: What is it to "show cause?" Thanks.
Then Slashdot modifies the headline to say: "Google, Sun Headed for Showdown Over Android."
Question is: Does anyone of these reporters work for either company in order to have this seemingly serious situation? I doubt it.
This will be a simple one for Vonage customers. What I know Vonage will do is to increase charges for their customers. From their present customer base, a flat 0.1% charge will solve that cash flow issue.

Can you elaborate?
The folks at wikileaks.org http://wikileaks.org/ should be prosecuted for being party to endangering National Security.
Can a kind Slashdotter educate an ignorant soul about the gist of the Apache license? I sincerely would like to know.

Does Redhat have a choice? I doubt. Why? Because of the GPL.
The GPL, that RedHat employs in its software distribution has a "firm grip" on RedHat. I'm sure the questioner knew this.

How complete [or incomplete] is CDF? the last time I checked, ODF still lacked a number of pertinent capabilities.
Distrowatch http://www.distrowatch.com/ says it too, which means others agree.
I disagree because those so called Web 2.0 applications run on hardware and software that have to be maintained.
