Couldn't have said it better myself. GMail = all these problems don't exist. Can't wait till every business in the worlds realizes the superiority of GMail and Google for Domains over their current Outlook & groupware solutions. Goodbye the rest of you email providers, I for one support our new GMail overlords.
Funny you should mention that. And the answer is yes, it would fall under corporate immunity.
However, they would argue a gross lapse of common sense, and probably still find a way to charge you.
Google for "murder & corporate immunity" to hear about fun cases where that exact same thing has happened.
The reviewer is comparing Ubuntu's interoperability with WINDOWS, not Ubuntu's
interoperability with the USER. This review is a muddled mix of ignorance with bias.
Maybe he just wanted to talk about linux to seem smart?
Wow, you're completely wrong AC. $$$ = life and death in this country. Wake up, move out of your parents house, and dream of enough $$$ to afford the net connection to talk to us, in the real world.
Another obvious benefit of a T1 line aside from it's guaranteed bandwidth is it's telephony use.
T1's are not internet-only. Traditional[and modern] T1 line usage is for TELEPHONE traffic. A T1 provides a set ammount of sub-lines, some or all of which can be set to send and receive internet traffic, or serve as phone lines. Most businesses with several phone lines(not just 4 or 5, with a pbx system - but 15 or more) still use a T1 or T# setup, depending on their needs. If the business also needs internet access, they just tell the telco they would like X of their T1 dedicated to internet access.
Hope this helps. In the business world, the word T1 does not bring "internet" to mind before "phone lines".
That's not entirely true, despite the sense it makes when being read.
Assume in your situation that a state police officer realizes you are not breaking any state-specific laws.
But law enforcement officers are enforcers of federal laws of all. He or she WILL arrest you, but you will
not be charged by the state of California, since the state has no charges to bring against you. However, upon
being taken into custody and cited, the DA *will* have you charged almost immediately by a federal prosecutor
on paper, and will then represent the federal charges against you.
If a law enforcement officer has let you or someone you may or may not know "slide" on this, they are directly
ignoring their oath, civil duty, and obligation to enforce federal and state law that they swore to uphold. They
are doing this because of personal bias or ignorance.
Know you know, and knowing is um...what do the kids say? Half the battle I think.
I agree that without our consent, this does sound like wiretapping...however...
This is what scares me, I clicked "I agree" on my 38-page SBC DSL contract without reading
the fine lines. As negligent as that is...I'm sure there are quite a few of us who have
done the same thing. I'd love for a lawyer to pick it apart, and find where we agreed to this.
In terms of the mp3s, what I really mean is that the computer should play more similar sounding songs if I desire. For example, if i'm listening to song A and I liked it because of my particular mood, the computer should find songs simliar to song A that have the same tempo, beat, etc. All of these features can be extracted using DSP techniques.
Ahh I see. I misunderstood when I made my post. Defining songs by tempo and beat is as you say..completely possible using DSP and other techniques. Seems like a plugin to start working on for XMMS.
Your suggestions such as "extending applications by simply dragging and dropping features from one application to another" is unfortunately not possible with our current(or dreamed-about) tech. Great concept, kudos for that, but
the "frame" all desktop computing operates from just does not allow for this. You are not suggesting improvements to
"desktop linux", but you are speaking of changes to desktop computing as a whole, across all platforms; it's not that 'easy', I wish it was.
Concerning your suggestion about organizing photographs by similarities...this is not so impossible. It's not particularly easy once again, but a very rudimentary sorting algorithm could be conceived from light conditions, hard lines(etc a persons profile), this could be worked on.
As far as the mp3's...I'm afraid that entirely too subjective to the person listening to them. My mood and tempo desires may differ and most likely do, from yours, and yours from your neighbors. This is a question of personal preference, and I don't see mp3 players administering a standardized personality test to guess at your flavor of mood, out of the X number of popular mood categories.
Last but not least...I'm afraid there were no desktop os's HOME users even had access to in the *early 80's*. You could go banging over Xerox's door for their machine, or maybe even dear Mr. Gates'. However, in the early 80's, such
hardware would cost you [somewhere near] $30,000? More?
Have you considered though, that weeks after departure of the Ark fleet B
departs with all the telephone sanitizers...
Earth's entire population could be rapidly wiped out by a virulent disease
contracted from a particularly dirty telephone?
Where do they get their information that "Modern Systems Operating at 1 teraflop fill an entire room!".
Um, *modern* systems operating at up to 147 teraflops, able to be ordered right from cray.com occupy 35.5 in. x 59.75 in. (.9 m x 1.5 m).
Those stats taken from:
http://www.cray.com/products/x1e/specifications.ht ml
I'm real thrilled they feel they have done
something important, but why falsely hype it by
misrepresenting the existing systems?
Perhaps they are referring to NASA's 1970's-era
"modern" supercomputers that are undoubtetly still
in use and occupying the space of a small house
with their PVC-pipe reminiscient conduits.
Will Sun really need to? I'm sure IBM has a C or
C++ compiler working for the cell, for Sun it's
probably a [slightly more complicated] issue of
typing 'make our_uber_runtime_environment', and
presto! The JRE is born from the primordial ooze.
Unless mainstream systems start shipping, are we
really going to see people using cell-based personal
computers? If some affordable boards are developed
then it would make sense to see alot of open source
developed embedded solutions. After the demo of
the cell processor some time ago decoding 17 video
streams simultaneously, it should have some real
potential for home/commercial media centers on
embedded platforms.

Nope. If directly ordered by a employing corporation, you fall under
corporate immunity. Contractors need not apply.
The above post is absolutely right-on.

I'm very interested in contacting you. I'm a professional geek, former US military. Email is in the sig.
