I kind of prefer Ambrose Bierce's take on patriotism,
In Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer, I beg to submit that it is the first -- Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary
I have a text file that I edit with vim that automagically decrypts the file when I view/edit it and re-encrypts it when done. Very secure, don't have to worry about a single use application going the way of the dodo.
I threw this piece of crap out my front door (literally). This was the final nail in the coffin for Micro$oft for me, the reason I switched to linux on the desktop, in 1999.
Great personal or small business laser. Network, fast, has postscript so it works with pretty well every OS that one could imagine.
I refuse to buy any more HP products after the fiasco that was a multi-function deskjet. Bugged me once every couple of months to install yet another !@#$! colour cartridge, even if I only wanted to print black and white. HP used to be a respectable company, ever since Carly Fiori, it has been in a tailspin.
Brother is the way to go, brother (or sister, as the case may be).
True, but in the context of the article it would be more something like,
RAID_CONTROLLER -> SATA -> SSD -> RAM
I suspect that the hardware raid controller can easily be replaced by the network,
[Network/GIGE/10GE/etc] -> SATA -> [SSD -> RAM]
The way things stand right now there's no real benefit that I can see from sharing SSD across the network, even though the network is certainly fast enough to compete with latencies on the SSD.
Network shared block devices or more probably "object stores" are an interesting option, especially for read only or read mostly applications like web provision.
I figured it would be a lot higher too, given that over 45% of Americans thought that John McCain and Sarah Palin were a good idea.
I have responded to the occasional spam while drunk, usually with a string of epithets intended to hurt their feelings. Somehow I knew that that would not be the outcome.
In other news, 40 years ago, in 30 minutes Apollo 11 lifted off for the first moon walk. I remember it like it was yesterday... okay, maybe a month ago.
This reads and smells, no make that stinks, like a microsoft advert. Since the user "snydeg" links to InfoWorld I think that conclusion is at least worth considering.
It is common editorial policy the world over to introduce an acronym before using it in any article. This is common policy in all academic journals as well, where the vast majority of readers are familiar with the terminology. It's not that I don't know what a UAV is, it's that I couldn't remember what the acronym stands for. The world is overrun with acronyms, and remembering all of them is a difficult task, and relying o the reader to research an acronym from a one paragraph abstract is lazy on the part of the writer and editor, not on the part of the reader. I'm sure I could pull out a few acronyms from my work that would stump many readers here, but I won't because it's just rude.
My television viewing is probably about 99% on DVR and I skip all commercials religiously, although if I see an image that intrigues me I will stop and rewind.
Cable television is dead in the water. Now we have to wrestle control of the network pipes from them, or at the very least have public network infrastructure installed (fibre to home anyone?). Socialism is good.
I'm typing this on my dell mini 9, running ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix. It took less than 30 minutes to install, and it came up with *everything* running. Oh, and it's only in beta.
The same thing with XP would absolutely take at least a day, with the same level of functionality in drivers, let alone all the apps.
My biggest problem with this platform has been the tiny keyboard and touch typing.
Any money the bloody feckin' catholics are behind this one. Ireland is still mired in its catholic past. I would recommend registering popebanger.ie and see if they notice.
I ran a university computer department in the late 80s and early 90s, and I can verify that the "click of death" was a very common problem. IT was all the more embarrassing because I was encouraging people to buy the damn things before the problem started manifesting itself. It's funny thinking back on that era, in retrospect at least because it was no fun being there, when removqable storage technology was soooooo unreliable.

This is why I will (sadly) never buy one of these.
Is a fucking oxymoron. Every piece of hardware they have ever produced has been complete shit, worse even than their OS.

Is this supposed to be a good thing? Sounds like someone's password encryption algorithm needs some upgrading to me.

I am submitting a patent to cover every xml data schema other than those patents already held by Microsoft.
Insane.

Well, if we mean languages for web apps, then surely javascript deserves more focus than java. \

Unfortunately the Jesus Protocol is replete with transmission errors.

I've been using openpkg to do this, works well, keeps my services up to day and works across multiple platforms.
Taser International is about as close as you can get to the kind of evil portrayed in SciFi flims without going to the theatre. I hate those pricks.

I recommend watching the Backyardigans GarbageTrek episode. Some pretty funky music too.

I think it's scandalous and that baby jesus is crying tears of foetal blood.
I think now would be a good time to do a field test on Bush/Cheney.
