So if I *know* you killed someone, probably even thousands of people, but I can't actually pin any single murder or crime on you, you should sit in jail the rest of your life? I'm not sure that makes sense...
Depends entirely on whether or not it was a skunkworks project. To me it sounded like a small team in Israel ignored management directives and decided to go back to the drawing board instead of continuing to *extend* the P4 line-up. Finally someone internally ate crow and admitted the P3 design decisions were in fact a better choice than netburst.
Of course... I've yet to hear an honest internal intel account of the whole fiasco, so it's all just conjecture.
It is as clear as possible. Don't reverse engineer the stuff that lies outside of their documentation. You automatically assume that means that you can't implement to spec because the referenced material MUST be required (although you don't bother to provide a single example).
It's ENTIRELY contingent on your actions if you're going to accuse them of not releasing the necessary items to create a full implementation. You again, have NO IDEA if it's what you need or not, you just automatically assume they're blocking anyone from implementing the spec because they cover their ass by not indemnifying you from reverse engineering the entire windows kernel.
A+++ I'm glad, and not at all surprised, you were rated informative for trolling MS.
Youtube has the *POTENTIAL* to put ads in embedded video too, as well as take the video with their icon. It would get added on upload of the video just like it currently does... so that's pretty much irrelevant.
What *universal browser embedded thing*? I've never seen ANY embedded video player that works across opera, IE, firefox, and cross platform: solaris, windows, linux.
Just because there's a standard written, doesn't mean anyone's adopted it.
That's complete rubbish. Youtube has absolutely no issues with people embedding videos directly in their forum. Nobody ever goes to youtube, or sees their ads in this instance... and nearly EVERY youtube video I watch comes this way. If your theory were true, they'd have blocked this long ago.
You can't say it promises nothing if you haven't actually ATTEMPTED an implementation. How do you know the "merely referenced stuff" is at all required to have a useful implementation?
Let's just assume it's worthless because you're too lazy to actually figure out if they've released everything required or not...
I just looked again, it's *1TB*. Pretty sad. The free nexenta or opensolaris are far better choices. I'm currently on nexenta, but now that opensolaris finally has zfs boot figured out, I may lean that direction in the future. We'll see.
The problem is the free version is space limited. Unfortunately, they took the same ridiculous position as others and putting the limit at 2TB. In this day and age I don't think a free version should support less than 5, and quite honestly 10TB is more reasonable. Any serious enterprise will be storing far, far more than 10TB, and will want support to boot.
If the only thing your company does is sell/sue over IP, odds are pretty good you aren't violating any of their IP. You don't buy/sell/make any tangible good... kind of hard to violate patents under that business model.
They are required to release all code that is covered by the GPL. This would be why linksys ran into all the legal troubles they ran into. They were linking to the kernel with custom code and not releasing the code IIRC. The only thing they can keep from releasing are modules they build that aren't linked to the kernel.
You said you wished they'd build one that ran BSD... there is a TON of network gear out there today that runs on BSD that isn't open source. Just because it's built with open source software, doesn't mean the vendor has ANY interest in releasing their code.
Yes, and as a side benefit, they also had the strongest signal of any router I've tested. We sat it alongside a cisco with a high gain antenna, and the output from the buffalo was still stronger.
Unfortunately, as stated below, you cannot buy them new in the US retail. You can still find them on ebay though.
Exactly, and we're all "limited" to 6mbit in his example.
I don't recall the government limiting how many miles I can drive per year though. I'm pretty sure they would have to let us all know ahead of time if they decided to. Would you rather they just confiscate your car one day without prior warning?
Please, provide some facts. Otherwise your response is, well, zealous and overwrought.
Uhhh, excuse me, you're the one making claims about what a horrible decision they made without knowing ANY facts. There's absolutely no need for me to provide anything, as I didn't make the initial claim. I simply responded in kind with your zero facts, all bias claims. The simple fact you've yet to provide anything resembling facts just reinforces my initial claim that you've got absolutely NOTHING to back your claims.
I never once made even an attempt to claim my retort was factual in nature, I simply stated the obvious: for every claim you've made, there's another opposite truth that may exist. You've brought nothing to the table but conjecture, and tried to pass it off as some sort of factual information.
If your regurgitation wasn't so sad, it'd be humorous.
Wrong. I get paid a decent salary running Windows clusters.
Which gives you NO FACTS about THEIR situation. The local janitor probably knows more about their install than you do.
Wrong. This article is an advertisement disguised as news.
DEFINITELY sounds like something from someone who "makes a decent salary running Windows clusters".
Might is a pretty big maybe.... I *know* a Linux-based cluster costs less. Especially as we get into 2008 pricing.
You have NO IDEA what they paid. You have NO IDEA if a linux cluster costs less money. If this is an "advertisement" like you claimed above, MS may have GIVEN them EVERYTHING for FREE.
Will they actually get the job done? It's impossible to know either way unless they cure cancer with the thing. Facts please.
Facts? You're right, I am required to respond to your blanket trolling assumptions with facts, rather than provide the flip side of the coin.
Which tools are these? Gui's? I imagine the average win32 admin WOULD be at a loss in a Linux cluster./etc/ is just mind-boggling!
I suppose if you REALLY ran windows clusters for a living you'd know which tools.
So basically you have no facts, but you're writing them off as idiots because they used the MS package. Nevermind they might be saving money in the long run by paying less people to administrate it because the MS tools get the job done. Or perhaps that they don't have to spend time tweaking things for months because MS has assigned them resources to do this. Let's just assume they're idiots and are wasting money, because if MS is involved, that MUST be it!!!11

Luckily if you get your movies direct from comcast, they won't count against your bandwidth usage.
You starting to see where this is going yet, and why it's bullshit? Anti-competitive crap.
***ASSUMING the local node actually has a good enough uplink. Qwest is notorious for only putting in a T1 or two linking the node to the backbone.
welcome our 20k overlords...

Not NEARLY what they see from games. It'll take a LOT of movies for them to ever see anything back from that.
You'd be WORSE off buying a player from anyone else by that train of thought as they'd be getting licensing AND they wouldn't lose money on the layer.
If your defense is "don't buy blu-ray at all", that's not an answer.
Look on the bright side. As long as you don't buy any games, you are giving the finger to Sony. They lose money on every console they sell :)

They can do that with embedded video too...

They may have already... thing is you wouldn't know it since they have no requirement to release any source.

Jailbreak. Just because it's not part of steve's vision doesn't mean it won't happen on his hardware/software platform via third-parties.
Exactly, and we're all "limited" to 6mbit in his example.

That's because you're confused by the like-naming convention, but different meanings.
Apple: Upgrade
Microsoft: Service pack
