Other countries are already doing this for a year or two now. Take Germany. The carrier is allowed to charge you a fee (something like 25-50 euros), which often gets comp'ed by the new carrier.
This has nothing to do with technology. It's solved. It's carriers trying to keep customers hostage. Nothing more.
I hope they have some solid security built in with the Web Server, I would be devastated if someone hacked my Tivo and deleted all my scheduled recordings.
> We can't replace BGP anymore than we can replace the VHS tape. It's become too integrated into the operations of the Internet, and it's simply too hard to change (just like IPv6 vs v4. It's not going away anytime soon.)
Bull*cough*shit. Sure you can. BGP-4 is a replacement. Sure it can be replaced.
And, oh, btw, IPv6 is being deployed quite actively outside the U.S. And your assumption about IPv6 replacing all of IPv4 is fundamentally flawed. They're not mutually exclusive.
Ok, so, you really believe this text written by the cyberyogi of logology, who claims he's researching neuronomy (good luck finding that in dictionaries), which is supposedly a "science"?
Does anyone read/research this garbage before/. it?
You've got to be sh*tting me. How in the world did this make it into the Science category? And there are actually people debating the merit.
Same guy claims 'pink light' from neon tubes are a health hazard. Right up there with people who claim to get splitting headaches from white noise generators. To me, this "paper" is somebody looking for an excuse for his tinnitus.
Use some common sense, folks, and READ the stuff carefully. Might just as well have been published in Roswell, NM.
actually, they do have a relationship. porsche design does quite frequently design items for porsche ag. however, that's not all it is doing; it is not a captive design center.
what is surprising is that this is an item found at best buy (short of walmart).
actually, it's pathetic to think that apple is being credited for the origin of super thin, sleek notebook designs with metal casings. come on, boys and girls.
nevermind that porsche design has been a quite successful seperate design company for many many years. cool to see them take on a project like this, imho.
it's quite common for various parts of porsche to contribute design and consulting expertise through its various business units. anything from management consulting to product design, not just automotive stuff.
sad to see more and more of the clueless/. bashing. but, hey, it's friday. flame on.
This is the same basic flaw of logic that burdens the US's war on terror. According to the definition we are using (all non-government supported organized violence) our own founding fathers were terrorists.
Wrong.*thwack*
Didn't you pay attention when they said that americans cannot be terrorists? *thwack* People who blow up abortion clinics aren't terrorists. etc etc. *thwack*
The definition of terrorism is in the eye of the beholder, which is why it is so ridiculous to come up with the term 'war on terrorism' in the first place. *thwack* Oh, and the abitrary scope of justice which is so handy in this matter.
And aliens aren't afforded the same rights as citizens anywhere. *thwack* Uh-huh. Yeah. Right. *thwack*
i tend to agree with some of the points of the article.
i'm not particularly a fan of microsoft, but i don't think it is in anybody's interest or resolves any of the issues that lead to the suits to go and strip down windows.
i think the states need to review their request for remedy and come up with a creative solution which goes to the core of the complaint of anti-competitive practices, rather than focus on one product of the company.
imho, this law suit is out of control to some extent. the complaint is valid, the requested remedy is totally out of touch with reality.
hopefully they'll sort this one out before the judge is forced to rule on these miserable options. i think it would be unfortunate if the judge had only these remedy options to consider.
You might want to look into the/usr/ports tree for starters. It's all there. It's a no brainer. Start your reading at one of the BSD portals and you'll find all you're looking for.
It's really a non-issue.
PS: Plus, FreeBSD has a really decent Linux emulation which works around all cases where you can't find the native stuff for some reason (proprietary vendor binaries etc).
The blurb on/. home makes it sound like SoftUpdates are something new, which is just being introduced. That stuff's been around for a bunch of years now.
IIOP isn't bidirectional across all firewalls if NAT is employed. Specifically with Checkpoint firewalls, you basically can only go one way (due to embedded IP addrs and such).

And for which option do you need two computers or more?? Horsesh*t.
Argh. What did I expect. Accuracy in a /. story?
Bull<cough>shit.
Like QoS matters. Until you have congestion. And when you have congestion in this application you're screwed anyway, regardless of what QoS you have.
Was this some sort of troll or just cluelessness?
<sigh>
You clowns must not have watched much CNN lately if you think the Keyhole stuff is about video games.
Bull*cough*shit. Sure you can. BGP-4 is a replacement. Sure it can be replaced.

Moronic FUD postings on /. reign supreme.
Ahh, nothing more refreshing than another /.'er speaking out of his ass on a Monday morning.
You presume that anyone will listen to your advertisement and not ACL what they listen to from you.
Yet another /.'er speaking without any operational or technical experience. Wahoo.
.. that's the one single question that comes to mind.. why are we doing W-CDMA. why not go GSM/GPRS/etc all the way and be done with it.
AT&T Wireless is largely TDMA (so is Cingular). Verizon/Alltel etc are CDMA. All proprietary technology.
None of which allows consumer choice.
Vote with your cell phone technology for choice.

shoot, why bother paying anyone at all. hey, it's just money.

at least in the u.s. (and probably other countries with regulated spectrum as well), jamming cell phones is illegal.
Wrong. *thwack*

perhaps you should read the infoworld article. what a lame troll.

Perhaps you should go visit CeBIT sometimes, and you'll understand why it is still worthwhile going to.
It is not CES. And considerably larger than CES.
give me a break.
if this article achieved one thing, it made me
feel sorry for apple's tech support gnomes.
i must've misplaced the friday flamebait warning
label on the slashdot article. hmm.
