"So the 24-year-old coming out of Stanford will have a view of technology that the 29-year-old -- who was 24 just five years ago -- would never think of," say Andreessen.
Amazon is not using sewer, electrical, police or road services locally as brick and morter store would.
But the Amazon affiliate in Rhode Island is, and Amazon pays them a commission on the sale. Also, it is not Amazon that is being told to pay state sales tax. They are being told to collect that from customers who buy products from Amazon through an Amazon affiliate located in Rhode Island. It is the customers who pay the sales tax, just like they do for any other in-state sale. Amazon is objecting to being required to collect this tax from the customer and remit it to the state of Rhode Island. No one is trying to tax Amazon itself.
How will musicians, writers, movie studios, news organizations, software companies etc even approach covering the costs of producing their work if the first person who buys it can make infinite number of copies and share them with the whole world?
So Democracy in Iraq, neighbors to Iran, had no influence at all on Iranians *also* wanting real elections?
There's no reason to think it did. Do you have one? Democracy has been known about in Iran for far longer than Bush's misadventures in Iraq. And on the other side of Iran, what about the influence of what the US carried out in Afghanistan? Do you think that may have influenced some in Iran to support the mullahs, lest Iran descend into tribal anarchy like Afghanistan did when we toppled the Taliban regime?
It's funny how all of you are complaining so much about this. IPv6 is a required evil for the internet to keep going and it will simplify things greatly and should speed up things in general too. That is if and when they get rid of the IPv4 hardware...
IPv6 was designed specifically so you don't have to get rid of all your IPv4 gear.
I've never seen a bunch of self described computer geeks whining so much about something that will simplify routing and get rid of NAT which is a truely horrid hack.
NAT is an integral part of IPv6. An IPv6 prefix can be large enough to encompass a block of addresses as large as the entire IPv4 address space. So you connect your IPv4 nodes to the IPv6 internet with a NAT box that prepends your IPv6 prefix to the IPv4 address to form a unique IPv6 address, and NAT that through your gateway.
This country is for people who love freedom. Who are willing to risk their lives for it.
People in Iran are marching in the street and getting shot at to protest what they feel was a stolen election. When it happened here, we brave Americans blogged about our mighty indignation, or sheepishly displayed signs no one saw from the designated protest area.
People who haven't yet got a box that is subsidized with a $40 government voucher are too poor or lazy to be valuable consumers. They're probably so poor they don't even pay taxes. Why spend millions upon millions of tax dollars to bring these bottom-of-the-barrel consumers to advertisers when they can't even afford the nearly-free converter? It's not worth it. The overall quality of audiences will be improved for advertisers if we just leave these last few millions of poor people behind.
A supernova entails core collapse and results in the destruction of the star. A nova is an explosion occurring in the upper level of a star's atmosphere and does not destroy the star. Novas recur in a more or less cyclic fashion, supernovas never recur.
(let's just say that there are certain Oracle workload profiles for which ZFS causes some massive performance hits especially when the disks are close to full).
Same results here. Oracle + Thumper + ZFS = unusable. Oracle + Thumper + traditional volume manager = good enough.
This probably won't even work inside some of the nursing homes where Alzheimer's patients normally reside!
This is for patients who wander off due to their diminished mental capacity. If they are inside the nursing home, they haven't wandered off and tracking isn't needed.
I play Xbox Live games all the time over my Verizon 3G broadband service. EVE Online works just fine, too. I typically get under 100ms latency riding the EVDO signal. It helps to use a 3rd party 3G router, like the ones from Cradlepoint. Then your PC is using the network stack, not a PPP/dialup stack, and the reduced overhead improves latency.
We've got all that in the USA. I started my service so long ago it was unlimited, and my plan is grandfathered, so I don't have any caps and no throttling. I get 2.5mbit/sec up and 670kbit/sec down and under 100ms latency while moored at Isthmus Cove on Catalina Island, 27 miles off the coast of Los Angeles. It's better than the free Wifi at Harbor Reef Restaurant ashore at Two Harbors.
Capitalism, by offering HUGE incentives, tends to accurately discover who has capacity beyond minimal, while communism does not, resuolting in mediocre people being thought capable, thereby giving them authority.
What a load of horseshit! Have you been asleep for the past two years? Trillions to shore up failed banks and yet they still keep paying those incentives - 7 figure bonuses and 8 figure salaries - to the ones who caused it all, and you can still try to spout that ideological line with a straight face? Adam Smith is dead, pal. Goldman Sachs killed him.
Maybe you're just trolling. That would be the most charitable interpretation of your post. The other interpretation is that you're a brainwashed tool who hasn't been paying attention.
... if we don't figure out some way to prevent online chaos, the quantity, quality and availability of the kinds of entertainment, literature, art and scholarship we need to have a healthy, vibrant culture will suffer.
All the best art throughout history comes from suffering. Great things should come from this.
When crafting his movie, Abrahms had two choices: either make a fully faithful canonic trek movie that would disinterest the public at large and get an outcry from hardcore trekkies, or make a fun, action-packed blockvusters that would get the larger public excited and get an outcry from hardcore trekkies.
There was a third choice: leave Star Trek alone for 20 years before trying to reboot it.
I'm sure you can think of other schemes to make it possible for a friend to bypass your whitelist while not enabling zombie Windows clusters to spray spam into your inbox.
Yes, I can. It's called reputation filtering, and it works extremely well. You have to pay for it, though.

I think you have it backwards.
As an avid iPod touch user (and iPhone if Apple ever gets one onto Verizon . . .)
PHS-300 + Verizon UM-175 + iPod touch does nearly what you want. If only Apple would release an iPod touch with a camera and GPS chip.
It's 640 light years away (give or take). Would the neutrinos affect us at all?
I doubt it. 640 light years should be enough for anybody.

Why, it's almost as if Microsoft don't want to inter-operate. Ext3 is fully documented with viewable code, yet MS don't implement it.
