big problem with MS Windows is it's inability to install an OS suitable for business use. Why do we need solitaire, minesweeper, and media cores on a machine that will be used to run billing software, for instance?
Excellent point. These have no place in the workspace...nor does AIM, MSN or Yahoo IM. Solution: if doing mass deployments install from an image where these useless items have been removed. If a single install, take 30 seconds and launch the add/remove windows components applet and deselect/remove this garbage. And for the Linux fans who will tout this as a significant Windows flaw, there is a similar process during the install routine. Don't select them. Yes, Fedora Core (as an example) lets you remove Tux Racer as part of the install process, but if you go with the workstation default...
And hey, Vince Cerf! You of all people shouldn't be doing the
"imminent death of the Net predicted (film at 11)" bit. If Verizon
or others start providing "tiered access" to the Internet Portals,
paying customers will complain.
And let us not forget that Vint Cerf was a Sr VP at Worldcom (ok, UUNET) before Verizon bought MCI.
Why bother using this for intra-sat comms when you have intra-sat masers/lasers doing the same thing (and carrying much more data)? Perhaps there is a cost savings for systems not requiring the higher data rates... this is presumably an omnidirectional transmitter, or at least wide spot-beam, so the challenges of laser aiming would be negated.
What's the big deal here? The US military and public safety sectors have been using radios with software defined waveform capability for over a decade. Expensive, but Moore's Law will drive the cost down to make devices using this technology commerically viable.
If you spent 10 years in the military you'd understand then that the Legistative Branch (Congress) has its own police force (Capitol Police)...they arrested Ms. Sheehan, not the President (or any police force connected to the Executive Branch.
It is difficult to understand how the President comes into play with your argument here, or how Ms. Sheehan relates to the NSA or AT&T...
Ok, so he was set up and decided to invade Kuwait. So by your premise did the Iraqi Army and Mukhabarat (intelligence apparatus) thugs have to rape and pillage too? Oh, he was ignored by the "International Authorities" so that means mayhem is ok?
So the US and the rest of the Coalition should have let him stay in Kuwait City?
Come on!
Used IRDA all the time for peer-file transfers and printing, until the advent of bluetooth. Still use the IRDA port from time to time because my company has been slow to procure bluetooth-capable equipment.
Nissan has an extremely high reliability rating.
Maybe on paper, but both Nissan products I had were crap compared to their Toyota and Honda counterparts.
Meanwhile, the US military recently launched a study into why so many soldiers and Marines were suffering back injuries (both during and post-deployment). Extreme equipment weights are cited as primary factors.
So, technologies like this could really help.
No... flush rotation has nothing to do with the magnetic field. It is related to the coriolis effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force) though it seems that the field of physics now implies that the coriolis force is too weak to manifestly impact fast moving water going down the tube. The velocity is a result of conservation of angular momentum. Flow direction (influenced by coriolis) is more impacted by the shape of the container.
This ruling is meaningless in Korea, except to fulfil what others have said in this forum: free advertising for Redmond. In reality, Korea is rife with software piracy -- and I'm not talking about people downloading warez, as one can buy (for a fraction of the retail cost) just about anything on the street (and in "reputable" businesses). This problem costs Microsoft much more than the fine.
FWIW, McAfee 8.0 caught it as a JS/Exploit-BO.gen trojan -- a reference to the ubiquitious Back Orifice?
The good news is that IE 6 did not crash (on XP Pro SP2) -- merely left an extraneous blank browser window.
That is why they wanted to establish their own network (MSN) with their own proprietary protocols and their own proprietary formats. They failed miserably and now MSN is just a normal ISP and uses Unix protocols and formats like anybody else.
I rather suspect the creation of MSN was an attempt to steal market share from AOL, Compuserve et al, most of which utilzed proprietary garbage. In the early days of the web (and even back in the BBS days), this was the path to bring the internet to the sheeple.

Perhaps he is confusing it with NAMBLA, which by any measure (except perhaps, their own) is downright evil.
...this has to be one of the dumbest and most inane posts I've seen in a long, long time.

It was later revealed that the EFF was being funded by Verizon and Sprint...
FIZA ...I think you mean FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act). Not sure where the Z came from.
Here's two other words (echoing an excellent investment tome): Irrational Exuberance

Unfortunately, this trend seems to plague many of the major application vendors as well.
...to block AIM & MSN chat, and all their clones, at the corporate firewall. Before it was simply a time wastage issue...now it's a big security risk.

Viable logic in other places. Just about everything is pirated in Asia so MS still won't sell anything under such a model.

Sounds like a good deal for the rest of the VOIP providers?
