Miller added a note of caution on the 12-years-coming sequel and its release window, claiming, "we may miss the mark by a month or two, but I feel very confident that we're on target this time."
Ahh - I feel so much better now. I believe!!! Arm. No.
Interesting. Now, are we talking about Notes as a Mail client, or Notes as a "other DB's" client? I have seen many companies that have, and use Notes for applications, but Exchange for mail. BTW: I've been using Notes 8 for a few months (also for mail) and it is finally getting very good.
Exchanges has 62% in 2006, while Lotus Notes had 26%. This number has not improved during the last year. So no, not a monopoly, but rapidly becoming so.
No way Yahoo is worth that amount of cash. If Microsoft want to throw so much money after so few assets, let them. I don't se how they will recover the investment, as yahoo is is waaay behind google in indexing, advertising etc.
I am not qualified to comment on the religious aspect, but from a pure scientific term, it would seem reasonable that the soul (assuming souls exist) needs more than a single cell (fertilized egg).
If a single cell was enough, wouldn't that mean that identical twins were sharing the same soul, because they derive from the same fertilized cell?
The Iranian regime takes the opposite stand. They encourage stem cell research, and Iran is quite advanced in the field. The main difference is that the Catholic church says that the soul is infused upon conception, while the muslims mainly believe that it is at birth the the soul arrives.
Nice to see the FTC moving in a sensible direction. Of course the only reason they did it, was because we are talking Ethernet. If it was some less known standard that a troll way trying to attack, they would let it slide.
True.
And if you do the math: 15 decoys and one real port. Changes every minute. 15 minutes penalty.
By trying opening random ports, the chance of you hitting the right port in 11 attempts or less (2,75 hours) is approx 51%.
Neat idea, but needs improvement. Like port knocking with honeypot (blacklisting) ports.
If this theory is proven right, we might as well write off many of the most suggested methods of FTL flight. This includes wormholes, jumps to 5th travel 1 mile east, jump back and having traveled 9 light years southwest. You get the point.
I downloaded the paper in an furious attempt to dispute it. Here are my conclusions:
* Complex math tells me (ouch head hurts)
* Nice pictures tell me (oooh shiney!)
all these measures make no sense security wise what so ever. They are only designed to make the average EU citizen feel safer.
This is just another of the knee jerk reactions that we have seen during the last 6 years. Politicians make a show of "competence" in order to protect the safety of the people. Classic "cover your ass" reaction.
And you are right. The amount of people killed by terror in EU is minimal compared to traffic accidents, workplace accidents, domestic violence, pollution related deaths etc. But we are used to the above, but *terror* is new and unpredictable, hence it *seems* more scary.
Sadly, the governments (and mainstream media) are helping the terrorists, by fueling the fear for terror, by constantly talking about it and making senseless measures against it.
Looks interesting, but using Neural nets would require massive amounts of computing power, compared to the more simple dead reckoning. Or at least that was the case when I worked with neural nets 12 years ago - better/faster algorithms might have been made since then.
But then again, the CPU's are so fast today, that it might not be an issue at all.
But other licenses exist. BSD would allow MS to buy a product, change it and make it proprietary. The changes would be the the "Embrace and Extend" sort we have seen before, and be of such a nature that the forked OS projects would be less valuable in the eyes of business customers.
Please. Those guys are supposed to be security wizards! And now one of them is caught using plain HTTP to access gmail? I hope they laughed hard at him. Even securety noobs like me know when to use HTTP and HTTPS.
Luckily gmail keeps the entire session in https opposed to other sides that also are hackable the same way, where only the logon is secure. After that they switch to http and are susceptible (e.g. facebook) to this attack.
I am in two minds about this. I naturally would like the iPhone open and allow user developed content, but unfortunately Apple has not developed it as such. AFAIK all software on the platform runs as root; so I foresee a vast amount of abusive software/malware being developed. Imagine software calling 1-900 numbers from your phone without your knowing.
"There's a chance that your seatbelt will come unbuckled in this Honda, if the car is affected by precisely 0.47G."
That gives your enemy the opportunity to engineer that you get hit with precisely 0.47G
But you are otherwise right: I see no real need to be concerned, as long as you are prudent and control what software you allow to execute on your PC. If you aren't prudent and download all kinds of stuff from the 'net, it doesn't matter what CPU you have anyway.
I really wish they had posted the driver version(s).
Now I have to assume that they are using the May 8800 drivers and not the earlier releases or betas.
Not a pretty solution, but changning the timing to be consistent in all logins might help.
So if user XXzzz logs on and it takes 4 seconds while aAAa only take 0.1, making aAAa logon time 4 seconds would help security but annoy most of the users.
From my firefox browser, after clicking on the demo, I was unable to open the "Sample reports" and "Documentation" links. Closing the "demo" tab allowed one of the other links to be opened. Is this optimal design?
Factory recalls are in place to protect consumers from paying from defective devices.
The Samsung device is not broken from the consumer PoV. Quite the contrary.
Actually Samsung and others should sue MPAA and fore them to recall their defective discs (forwarding past adds don't work) - or better yet suing RIAA: many CDs are not able to play on DVD recorders. Those disks are *really* defective from the consumer PoV.

I think this is a indicator of what will happen if Microsoft (Time Warner)buys Yahoo (AOL). I see now way Microsoft can gain anything from that deal.

Make it 1-0 for the Muslims.

That's why I'm calling myself a security noob :)

Microsoft doesn't want anything BELOW Windows:
" Steven A. Ballmer, Microsofts chief executive, said, "Everybody in the operating system business wants to be the guy on the bottom...."
Microsoft doesn't want anything ABOVE Windows:
"Microsoft feared a competitor's Web browser, running on top of the operating system, could reduce the power of Windows."
And they certainly don't want anyone else IN Windows.
Where does that leave the competition?
(Don't bother to answer; I already know..)
