The so-called 'hypocrisy' is no different than any other country - all play their own game. Tell me about NAFTA, that it's a free-trade agreement. Yet it's free for the US not for Canada or Mexico.
Yap about 'free-market' economy vs 'communist planned' economy. For a moment do you think the US government do not speak on behalf of the big corporations? In most cases they really don't have to because the big corp got enough dough to fight it out themselves. If the problem becomes too big for a corp or industry to handle, the US send armies.
This method would essentially generate DOS attack onto the ISP phone support system. Allowing incoming spam traffic, or outgoing bot attack cost less for the ISP.
Tunnelling X for all linux platform is useful but only unix. I have not use rdesktop/remote desktop.
There are couple of reasons we use VNC. One is we're dealing with a lot of OSes. I'm not sure if one can remote control a W2K box from a Solaris box. VNC is something widely available on all platforms. Second, which gives a reason more preferable to tunnel X is that, one can pop open all the required terminals/applications running on a VNC session, and when working with others, just ask them to pop another open to help, or even share the workspace. This is much efficient.
I don't know about you guys but VNC is very important to me, and I dare to say almost all of my technical co-workers' daily work. Buggy or not, kudos to the developers.
Huh? You must be bit slow here. He did NOT say that NO ONE wanted democracy. He did, though, quite accurately say that MAJORITY OF CHINESE wouldn't give a flying fuck about invidual freedoms, including "western" democracy. If it was there, nice; but it won't compare with other stronger values (from materialistic ones to nationalistic and community values).
Mr. Coward, look, who in the world can say that majority of Chinese won't give a flying fuck about individual freedom? Have you even been to China? Did you talk to even ONE Chinese over there? Or did you do a nation-wide poll or something?
Students at the Tianamen square were but a tiny ant's piss: they did and do not represent significant proportion of chinese as whole.
His point is entirely valid: if enough chinese did want things we in the west take for granted, they would get it. They don't, at least not yet.
You really don't have clue about the scale of it do you. There were protest up to 100,000 people in the streets of Beijing early May. And there were protests in every major cities in China during the month. If you weren't old enough to read in 1989 you can do it now:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_prot ests_of_1989
2600 died and 30000 injuried over one single night. That's about the same number on the war with iraq since 2003. That's an ant's piss to you eh?
And we can't make the decision for them, but the bottom line is, as long as they are not willing to pay the price of freedom, they will not have it.
Easy for you to say because you already have your freedom. If you don't have freedom today, are you willing to die for the hope of others MAY have that freedom in the future? Also, maybe you wanna tell the parents of the thousands of students that mowed down by tanks, that they were 'not willing to pay the price'?
The story is quite different in China. No one is imposing authoritarian rule on China. If the Chinese people wanted to enjoy the same democracy and human rights that we have in the West, then the Chinese people could get democracy and human rights tomorrow. The problem is that most Chinese either support authoritarianism or are indifferent to it. President Hu Jintao (the dictator of China), all by himself, cannot impose authoritarian rule on China. Hu has a lot of supporters.
Are you kidding me? If they want democracy & human rights they can get it tomorrow? What are you smoking? Where were you in June 1989? I dare you to go Tiananmen Square and yell all you want about 'democracy' and see how many seconds before a policemen/plain-clothes approach you.
Usually it's pretty bad for share holders, which means their equality will probably be wiped out. Company with revenue of this size usually will re-emerge, but smaller ones probably go liquidation.
Yeah it's in the 'advanced' option, otoh, to me it shall never be an option. Coz it's called an address bar not a search bar. MS named it 'address' yet they do a search, and that's just a lie.
"The best way to handle the search box [...] would be to give users a choice when they first start up Internet Explorer 7."
OTOH, I would much prefer it DOES NOT search for anything. For example, if I type in stuff like 'wwwww.yahoo.com', that STUPID IE just search for it and with the address bar ending up modifed as "http://sea.search.msn.com/dnserror.aspx?FORM=DNSA S&q=wwwww.yahoo.com". Now I need to go delete those characters to modify the original URL!!

There are a lot of "counterfieting" operations where the work involved makes you wonder why they didn't go legit. People selling "fake" iPod Shuffles, for instance, that actually work, they're just not real shuffles. Someone's taken the time and trouble to organize the manufacturing of this item, including a certain amount of R&D, for a working product. And then they proceed to spoil the entire enterprise by putting someone's else's name on it
Don't be baffled. You realize that a lot of manufacturings are outsourced to non-US places, esp. China? These so-called pirate manufacturers are actually the legit out-sourced factories. During the day they're doing Apple's orders. During off-time, they're producing for the 'other distributors'. No I'm not kidding you.
600MHz is sufficient for a lot of stuff. I had my old PII-166MHz installed W98 with Apache and FileZilla. If the end-users use it for office applications, web browsing, emailing - it should be more than sufficient.
It seems to me SUN's demise is similar to DEC/SGI where fewer and fewer people need big bulky machine -> enterprises are ok with cluster of'disposable' Intel boxes vs an ever-living-upgradable box. Is HPC an area they are good at? Have they explore any 'alternative' business?
One thing I wanna know about the industry is the background of the personnel, and how they came up with all those catchy movie names. Explicit yet subtle: "Mission to Uranus" or "Bottom Feeders"

It's really disappointing. I thought /. readers are more than regular-joe fox news watchers.

Sound like the 'gun registry' program here in Canada. Criminals don't register their guns. PS: I'm not pro-gun nor do I have a gun.

How can they patent 'beep' !!!
That tells you a lot about certification lol :)

So you think GNU/Linux should be open, but selectively open? Why bother GNU license then? Why is there such a 'danger'? Just coz they're Chinese??

No worries, we can just name our method differently like "bonehead data streaming" or "dumbass multimedia packet routing"

I thought you can learn everything from watching Seymore Butts. Uh, no?
I couldn't imagine a 'bigger' evil complying to a 'lesser' evil lol.
