Let this be a perfect example of why cronyism is not a good practice.
Now that this guy is found out to be a fraud, it begs the question as to how many other people are holding positions that they neither deserve nor are qualified to hold?
And how many more qualified individuals were passed over because of cronyism?
The US Government should do a resume audit to find out who actually went to college and worked where they say they did.
But, of course, this will never happen.
Despite all the DRM technology being built into our TVs, PCs, and DVRs, copying and fair use will still be allowed so long as the content providers do not flag their material with the most draconian copy-control settings.
Welcome to the future of digital television--it has never looked so good, and never looked more locked down.
If this is the future of television, it looks pretty bleak.
I guess we MIGHT be able to use our DVRs, but not if the content providers say no.
In exchange for paying, e-mail senders will be guaranteed their messages won't be filtered and will bear a seal alerting recipients they're legitimate.
If it bears this seal I guarantee you that it is legitimate!
In other news, water is still wet, Microsoft is still a monopoly, and people dislike paying taxes.
Umm...I hate to disagree with you but water has been found to be quite dry, Microsoft may be losing its stronghold, and some people actually like paying taxes.;)
They're useful for understanding how the world of software patent got to where it is and what might be done to fix it.
Just like Viruses, Worms & Malware are useful for Anti-Virus/Spyware companies to analyze how they got to where they are, and what might be done to fix them.
However, industry insiders fear that the development of a network of Google Cubes powered over a Google-owned internet network will greatly increase the power that Google wields...
The reader wanted to know if the new chip would be up to handling the Graphic requirements of Microsofts new Vista OS, and whether or not it would cost more.....One thing to remember about integrated graphics is that Intel's Unified Memory Access technology means that the graphics adapter shares the computer's main random-access memory. This makes a full gigabyte of RAM the absolute minimum for a system running Vista on unified graphics, and 2 GB is better.
Sure it will be able to handle Vista, but it will cost more since you may need 2 GB of RAM.
Simply because it is a new product it will cost a bit more.
It also has bugs (albeit obscure?) the best thing might be just to wait a few months until the price comes down and the bugs are exterminated.
One problem we ran into with our sample though, was that the shroud was making contact with the fan's blades, causing the fan to spin incorrectly. We feel this is an isolated incident, and we don't expect it to be a wide spread problem.
Yeah, try and tell that to the headless shrouds I see all the time just wandering the earth aimlessly.
Libraries have a legal right to distribute materials under the Fair Use provisions of the copyright law, but DRM systems may block this. Furthermore, they point out that DRM systems don't automatically switch themselves off when a work goes out of copyright. DRM systems may allow copyright holders to retain control over their material longer than they are legally entitled to.
The complaints describe efforts by Cobb to shut down or ignore investigations on issues such as a malfunctioning self-destruct procedure during a space shuttle launch at the Kennedy Space Center
Apparently, the self-destruct procedure is working quite well for Mr. Cobb.
VMWare is going to give away its GSX server product for free, in the hope that customers who try it will eventually migrate to the more powerful ESX server...Intel Virtualization Technology--code-named Vanderpool and now emerging in server processors--accelerates some operations and makes it possible to run Windows on Xen without modifications to Windows that otherwise would be necessary.
I'm interested how the Intel Virtualization Technology will run on the up and coming SEX server.

Yeah right.
So if your pal at Ostrich Corp. wants to refer you for a job, know what Ostrich's policy is...
Remember folks, Ostrich Corp's first policy is to get your head out of the sand and start winging it.

Is there anything off-limits or would never be added to Wikipedia?
"Yeah, like I need a whole in my head."
That is a wholly flawed argument.
Exactly. My new client is The Program That Used To Be Known As BitTorrent.
It has gotten tired of that and now just goes by 'The Program'

faster and more efficiently than ships--no port or airbase needed. The blimp would float just above the ground on four hover pads
Now our plan for world domination shall be COMPLETE!
Muah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
A cellphone could, for example, automatically detect and jump to a much faster Wi-Fi network when in a local hotspot.
Hopefully, this will keep your calls connected more reliably than they do now, it will be interesting to see what happens next.
...to see if they will promise to use only one name & abbreviation next time:
'Latest Overhyped VIrus Threat' or 'LOVIT'
In the past, I've written the sort of poorly-structured non-compliant web pages that can only be produced by a combination of laziness and confusion
Wait a minute, were you copying my style!?!
Did anybody else think that the article was
"Geek U.S. Officials Tapped For Years"?
No, but at first I thought its too bad how broke they are, and maybe they should be given a raise?

You mean a network of Cubes like this?

We are not crusaders, trying to force people to bow to our superior God. We are trying to show others that co-operation and openness works better.
Well this shows what happens when people worship differently.
Linus worships a benevolent God, looking out for the best in a cooperative humankind.
The DRM people worship only one God, the Almighty Dollar.

What does DRM stand for again?
Data-Retaining Miser? Data-Retention Misery? Data-Restraining Misanthrope?

What next? Will the Pea-Bot get mated with a Roomba and do something more useful than carry around cans of beer?
Yes, it will carry your beer and your chips to you and then it vacuums up mess you make. A drunkards dream if I ever did see one.
I think she should countersue the RIAA for the price-fixing scheme for CDs she never even bought.
I feel a sudden illness coming on, could be a virus.
