Ya, about the great job that the RIAA is doing keeping filesharing at bay. Newyorkcountrylawyer, I have enjoyed your posts on the legal details and tactics of this situation for quite some time. But if you think the actual money involved in this; win, lose, settle, "if it don't fit you must aquit" or anything else has anything to do with anything other than keeping pressure on the filesharers, you need to come to the city and realize how big these companies are. Sony BMG, a company I used to work for, could keep this pressure up for years and years, and years and years.....and years. That is, as long as the system doesn't fall apart legally, which is what the lawyers are really trying to prevent here.
I'm a little surprised that you say this. Seems these lawyers work for the music industry hell bent on making sure the pressure is on file sharers, nothing more. The actual amount of money involved in the these cases is irrelevant to the attorneys or the music industry, win or lose. The attorneys fees are being paid by the members of the RIAA who have a dog in the fight much larger than this pittance, for sure. People seem to think that if they start losing money on this tactic it will stop. I can assure you, the music industry has already lost a ton of money doing this, and I am sure they don't care one bit. It is paying off in spades in their eyes.
Just wait until they block a legit site or information in the name of blocking kiddie porn. LET THE LAWSUITS BEGIN! This is a very bad idea, if just from a business perspective...
"Permatemping" (great word) has made me a lot of money. Because most companies seem to think that a good IT guy costs 200 an hour and there is always some permatemp company who is willing to whore themselves for a dollar just to get the gig, it is easy to make a lot of cake doing that if one plays their cards right...
"It's amazing what people will believe and what facts they'll throw out to support their fear and hate."
and
"You really need to separate lies told to you by socialists trying to bring down our system of government from what's really going on, and you need to remember who it is that's actually trying to hurt you."
Your own words about fear and hate do sum up the situation nicely.
Your logic frightens me. The system is set up to determine who is a terrorist and who is not through due process and innocent until proven guilty. The problem is, when due process is thrown out *for ANYONE*, like you just did, then the constitution that you swore to uphold becomes meaningless. I mean, you have determined someone is a terrorist or is associated with terrorists. Well, that means that you can trample their constitutional rights, because, of course, they are terrorists. We have to take away their freedom so that we can be safe and free, right?
The fact is, defending the constitution is *hard*. It makes it difficult to take rights away. It makes it difficult to swallow that in order to maintain freedom we may need to allow terrorists to go free. We may need to provide habeas to people that aren't US citizens. We may need to get warrants to listen in on conversations, which could hamper our abilities to catch terrorists.
Yes, defending the constitution is *hard*.
You, this administration, and apparently the American public, are just lazy. Lazy of mind, lazy of acts.
While I agree with you that most of this is FUD, the fact that the other distros "work just fine" is irrelevant. "Not supported" means, to the enterprise world, not doable. Meaning, Microsoft VM ain't gonna happen in the big shops.
I think that there is a valid overall point to this submission, regardless of its hyperbole. It is that Microsoft's arrogance to think that they don't have to support other distros is exactly a fall back to their old ways. And this time, giving it away for free or making it a part of the Windows operating system isn't going to save Hyper-V like it did to save so many of their other products. For this fight of the hypervisor (essentially the new OS of the data center), VMWare has all the market share and lock in.
Actually, no, it doesn't. Flash drives are based on static memory and are just about as slow as a regular hard drive. This article talks about using volatile memory, which is many, many times faster.
Fraud is fraud. It is illegal. Put the executives in jail and shut the company down. Have we as a society gotten so accepting of the corporate culture of greed and scams that outright fraud should be punishable by simply not making as much profit?
I haven't seen a cable news network in so many years that I forget what they are like. I am quite proud of the fact that I have weathered entire celebrity news "episodes" without knowing a thing about them. The other day, someone told me that Britney has kids and was divorced. I didn't know she had even gotten married..
This issue isn't about subsidizing tv, its about real estate. That real estate is 700 mgz radio spectrum which analog tv uses. Its the last piece of valuable real estate available in the US. The only way the government can sell it is if it kicks everyone off of it by giving them set top boxes.
So how much are the set top boxes to the goverenment? Eh, a 100 million dollars or so. How much is the radio spectrum going to sell for? Eh, up to 20 BILLION. Thats right, B, as in 20 freekin BILLION.
Communism is the very last word that comes to my mind....
On a go forward basis, you need step up to the plate and reach out to someone to get your thought processes in alignment. Perhaps a little thinking outside the box or brainstorming session would help to get someone to take ownership of this problem. Anyway, thanks for running this up the flagpole but lets take this conversation offline. I'll touch base with you later to discuss some of these basic action items.....
I have, and you hit it right on the head. IDC, even more so than Gartner in my opinion, are famous for their ridiculous "predictions". Nothing to see here, please move along...
Actually, that is what QOS is for. Segmenting off everyone that wants to do some transfer makes for a fragmented unsummarized network with stretch VLANS all over god and country. Segmenting in little networks is fine...but a disaster in large ones.

The Tesla doesn't have 4 seats or the cargo capacity, so it is out from the start.

What is different is market share and monopoly positioning.
Its true. The 30 mil is just so that everyone can look at one another and say "IT'S ON, BITCHES!"

This is why SAN manufacturers have come up with "thin provisioning". NetApp is quite good it, read more here.
I'm an executive in IT with almost 20 years in. I have learned, without a doubt, that in IT what one pays is usually quite unrelated to what one gets.

You and that guitarist are the problem. Make it louder, he said, and you made it louder.
The point of this whole article is, "we notice when you do that, and it sucks". Try to talk the guy out of it next time.
