I would think that older folks know that yes, it is only a 3 minute commercial. And to a youngster, what's three minutes. The older person has done the math:
watching 2 hours of TV a day (avaraged, could be light for some, heavy for others) Guesstimating 10 minutes per hour of commercials You are now up to 20 minutes per day on commercials Or 7300 minutes per year Or over a 30 year period of watching Ads (again, some may be hitting 60 years+ of TV, 30 just seemed to be good round number) So, 30 years of ads means you'll have potentially wasted (perspective based) 3650 hours on ads.
Or to put it another way, you would have to work 2 years (40 hr work week - 10 holidays) to make up for that time.
Actually, it's taking feeds from HPOV (SNMP) and TEC adapters (DM/ITM/Logfile Adapters) to feed their consoles. I don't think that the capability exists (though it may) for the MS console to execute Tivoli tasks on a given system. Otherwise they would have to write the APIs to talk through the Framework to get to the Endpoints. Otherwise you are loading yet another daemon on your Linux/UNIX system that needs to be monitored via ITM/DM or HPOV.
If you already have TEC implementation in place, you should have whatever automation in place that you need anyways.
If I have a mixed enterprise, the last thing I'd want (or have) is for MS to be the MOM. Though to each their own I guess.
Does this mean that when this is perfected, I will be able to live as long as my bank account can afford it?
It may be like maintaining your car. New heart every 60 years, new lungs every 70 years, new nerves at around 50 years, new skin every 30 years, new eyes every 40 years, new glands every 30 years, new joints every 30 years,...etc...etc..
They better get humping since I'm running out of time.
"Society does this all the time. What if I want a blonde and a brunette as a wife (and perhaps a red-headed lass as well)? Society is limiting my choice to only one."
So you don't mind laws dictating how you lead your life? I know there are many folks out there who couldn't understand what morals are and they need laws to guide their life. Which really limits independent thinking. It is obviously a complex issue, but I still favor less government involvement with my personal choices. I do think that if folks took more responsibility for their actions and people wouldn't be able to point the finger at anyone but themselves, less laws would be in place.
And to tag your analogy of multiple wives; Well, just because "society" says it is so, doesn't make it right. (perspective based anyways) Though at that point we are dealing with strictly with philosophical situations. (how a society sets it's moral compass)
"Well, a gun is a tool for efficiently killing people, so yeah..."
It's efficiency it solely based upon the user.
If you are looking from a ROI standpoint, I think explosive weapons are more efficient at killing people. I'm sure there are ROI studies on this though.
"If you choose to say stock pile plutonium dust in your basement, I'd very well limit your freedom to do so."
Please keep it to apples to apples. Secondly, I did say "responsibility is mine." So if you chose to stock pile plutonium dust, it's your responsibility should it harm anyone else.
I think it has become a sad trend to remove personal responsibility by limiting 'freedoms.'
"So if you (as a pro-gun person) don't fear other people, then why do you need a gun..."
I'm "pro-choice." If I want to own one, it should be my choice. (and my responsibility) Thus, freedom to chose. Are you saying you want to limit my freedom of choice?
And FWIW, when I go skeet shooting, you kind of need a gun for that. Somehow throwing flowers at the skeet just doesn't work as well. The weapon I chose, should be whichever I chose. Though I'll probably get modded flamebait on this post.
Sigh....Yes, I understand you dislike Bush. GWB to be clearer. Or the Republicans. Either way, do you somehow believe that any party would not help their like kind. If you don't believe that, then you sir are what they call gullible.
And to get your 'source' correct here, are you saying that Japan has 100Mb connectivity to all 3000 islands? Or perhaps it's easier to cable out 145,000 sq miles instead of nearly 4 million sq miles.
Are you suggesting that electing a non-republican (notice I didn't limit to the two major parties, just in case. LOL!) would mean you can get 100Mb/1Gb internet connectivity? I didn't know that's the way it worked. Thanks.

Oooh, a Rubik's Cube! Let's all work it together.
Lisa: Okay, start with diagonal colors.

the orange side and turn it. Marge: My main finger?
[the family begins to start all talking at the same time]
Bart: [simultaneously] Orange to orange!...
Lisa: [simultaneously] Now you have to turn it back, Mom... Homer: [simultaneously] You gotta start backwards!
Bart: [simultaneously] Mom, Mom!
Lisa: [simultaneously] No, not so fast! No, ignore the red!
Bart: [simultaneously] No, no, no! Homer: [simultaneously] Alternate corners! Marge: One at a time!
Bart: Spin the middle side topwise. Topwise!
"Considering Microsoft has, in the past, been accused of artificially bundling components together (IE+Windows, DirectX10+Vista, etc), I'm going to remain skeptical on this plan. It seems like Microsoft can get much higher revenue from a several-hundred-dollars major upgrade than a pick-n-choose bundle of features. The only way I see them breaking it apart is if their monopoly really does begin to be challenged and they have to start selling in a truly competitive market."
I have a feeling that it's going to work like other products out there now (NetApp for one) where all the software is already installed on the system and a license key unlocks that portion of the OS/App. They still bundle everything together, but it's a matter of which license keys you hold that determines what is 'on' and what is 'off.' At least that would be the wise way to move forward IMO. The downside is they will probably have a license version of 'clippy' that will constantly ask you if you want to license feature "X" on your system.
Sigh. So what is supposed to be done then? I'm sure with all the bitching on/. about this incident that there must be a rock solid solution that has no false positives.
I know I'm going to be modded 'FB' for this, but there are always 'false positives' in everything. Nothing is 100% accurate. There are and will be innocent folks caught in the fray. Obviously the goal is to minimize the false positives, however, there are going to be a few. Hopefully fewer as time goes by.
The sad part is should a 'dirty bomb' or otherwise go off in the States, I'm sure there will be plenty of folks on/. and elsewhere who will be first in line to bitch about why the Govt wasn't doing their job. Pick a side and stay on it. Either you want their best effort for detection and intelligence or you don't want any.

So your asking scientists to remove their own agenda (religious, paid for, or otherwise) out of their findings? Good luck.

Ah yes, you are correct. Though I have a feeling that for a lot of folks, none of those numbers are that far off. Scary.
You forgot to divide by 60 minutes to get hours.
I would think that older folks know that yes, it is only a 3 minute commercial. And to a youngster, what's three minutes. The older person has done the math:
watching 2 hours of TV a day (avaraged, could be light for some, heavy for others)
Guesstimating 10 minutes per hour of commercials
You are now up to 20 minutes per day on commercials
Or 7300 minutes per year
Or over a 30 year period of watching Ads (again, some may be hitting 60 years+ of TV, 30 just seemed to be good round number)
So, 30 years of ads means you'll have potentially wasted (perspective based) 3650 hours on ads.

At this point Beger realized he was pointing it to his crotch. It's all fun and analysis until someone grows another arm out of their back.
