Why force the standards when these can evolve over a period of time out of the need. If those are't, we won't have needed them in the first place.
I know I am going against popular opinion here at/., but historically, standards that are forced have slowed down the progress for a while. I am not against standards at all, but why force them?
"I am not sure what to make of the conversations, because frankly at $2-to-$3 billion, it doesn't make sense for eBay to get into a whole new business. I can understand giving the consumers ability to click-and-call the seller/buyer.
But it can be done fairly cheaply and easily. When connecting to PSTN, eBay will then have to deal with all that comes with it, including a nosy and notoriously pesky FCC. Are they ready for it? Why not partner with someone - and there are enough desperate companies who will do this - and get the "voice apps" embedded into their products. There is a good reason why Yahoo's Dialpad service still uses Net2Phone, and Google hasn't touched the PSTN as yet."
fair enough analysis. Not surprising that ebay's stock fell 5% after this news.
Exactly, as Bill Hilf, MS's linux lab manager pointed out on recently on/.
"I can confirm that the next-generation of several components of Services for Unix are being integrated into Windows Server 2003 R2. The Network File System (NFS) client, NFS Server, User/Name Mapping, Telnet Server & Client, Password Sync and NIS Server components of Services for Unix are all present in the Windows Server 2003 R2 builds[...]In addition, a revamped POSIX subsystem, the 'Subsystem for Unix-based Applications' or 'SUA' is also available as an optional install in R2."
The results seems to based on CacheLogic's p2p research, supposed to be released on Sep 12.
Here is something that explains parameters of a related study and the last year's study.
Quoting from Wikipedia:-
"The Manifesto states that hackers choose to hack because it is a way for them to learn, because they are frustrated and bored in school. It also expresses the satori of a hacker realizing his potential in the realm of computers."
From TFA: "Just go to gmail.com." From there, you can get an invitation code sent to your mobile phone, and with this code, you can create a Gmail account[...]Right now, sign-ups only work with U.S. mobile phone numbers, but we're eager to support others.
I can't find anything on the web corroborating this story. Even the official site of Safar Center for Resuscitation Research, the institute metioned in TFA has nothing about this.

Why should let a camera company encrypt the data you capture, trying to prevent you from processing the data the way you prefer?
Still..Nikon can open it to 3rd party decoders for a license fee perhaps.

Ah..irony..went shooting the messenger, and got shot instead
Protection for the said vulnarability is already provided by eEye : Blink Endpoint Vulnerability Prevention. hmmm...
Here is a comprehensive summary of the case at EFF's site. The coverage has obvious bias, but informative nonetheless.
Skype help page claims it to work with ALSA. something about USB headset and distros. No nitpicking here, but may be you haven't tried enough.
Skype for Linux requires glibc 2.3.3 or greater and Qt 3.2 or greater. ever heard of FAQs.
I am not advocating skype here, but do check your facts before posting.
As a metter of fact, it does

The Opera community page also has a slide show about its history. There are some interesting snap shots featured.
Also, Opera version History for the interested.

I did a google search on Denver Airport baggage system and found this: classic case of bad software design.
Yeah! I guess Google added this recently.

innovative cameras may include wireless networking to download pictures, perfect for spycams.
hmmm...interesting
it's not the money that makes nobel prize so special. $1 million or whatever cannot augment over the 100 year legacy of the coveted prize.
