On the other hand, cutting down the amount of code to the absulute mimimum needed to achive the desired functionalety might not be a bad idea.

Seems logical, when you pose questions that possibly can be ansverd whit yes/no, that is the answer you can expect. Why is this the case? 1: ItÂs easy and quick 2: Youre mail is just one of a long list of mail that needs an answer, and the pperson might not be to iterested in the topics put ansvers something, so you donÂt thing he/she is ignoring you
Mayby you can formulate yore questions differently Example 1: What are youre views on MSÂs trashing of ODF, or is this something you do not have an opinion about?
2:Please give me youre opinione on the viability of th OOXML standard.
As english is not my first language these questions may be able to shorten. I apresceate any input you mau have, abd pleace pardon the any typos as my spelcheker desided to pack up on me just now (will ne delt with ASAP)
Hmm I hope you are not talking about this kind of event horizon lol, a Vegas vacation is a nice thing I just hope they don't tempt you to gamble away all your hard erned money.
Well maby I'm just lucky, but after e few iphone 3g updates nothing has broken. A minor glitch during unlocking wen it faild, I just needed to update again and everything was fine. Several FI update on my MacBook np there at all. Am I in the minorety, or is it just the the minorety with the problems are very vocal?
Is it true that this rev is the first to be certified as UNIX? I'll take your word for it.
You don't have to take his word for it go to the source, it clearly states that OS X 10.5 is the first and to date only Apple pruduct to bear the open group cert.
First off I'm neither a programer or a db expert but a basic hobyist so i might not be qualified to comment. I agree the MySQLs user management isa bit strange. they semm to want to squeze all the user info into one table. If Iremeber my normalisation correctly this is not a good way of doing things. My limited knowledge may be at fault here, so feel fre to correct me. I someone asked me how to split the user managemebt up, I might sugest the following: Table users Username varcar(20) not null, unique, Primary key Pasword varcar(20) not null
Table privs Username varcar(20)not null (fk from Users) Opjectname varcar (longest legal table/proc/view name) privs int ((derived from bitmap of relevant prefs for objecttype))
hosts (not shore if we need this at all) Username varcar(20)not null (fk from Users) host varcar()
as you can see this is not valid sql, but I think this illustrates my point.
I apriciate both negative and positive fedback as long as it stays on topic.
And in case I don't write another comment pefore x-mas "Amaru cristmas to all and wishes for a prospurus and for filling 2009"
Well correct me if I'm wrong, but when I checked earlier today Google apps (including mail hosting) was still in BETA (as in Don't use in a production environment). It must be said that I'm using the free version as this is for a private domain so I don't feel the need to pay as the free version gives me what I need.
I had been using OpenDNS. I stopped when I realized they were monitoring my traffic. When I go to Google, they were returning their own Google-like page, to which my browser would submit the query, and then redirect me to Google.
I stopped using them after that discovery.
Your claim that OpenDNS is "monitoring your traffic" is misleading.
If you ping www.google.com it pings google.navigation.opendns.com (208.67.219.231). You still get the standard Google homepage and search results when you go to http://www.google.com/ however. The odd DNS resolution for www.google.com is apparently because some software such as the Google Toolbar bypasses DNS requests, which breaks some of OpenDNS's features. (More on this below.) One apparent advantage of OpenDNS doing this is that it help users avoid Dell affiliate adware so that affected Dell systems will get actual search results instead of a page full of Dell's affiliate ads.
But guess what? It's trivial to turn this feature off if you don't like it. Just go to https://www.opendns.com/dashboard/settings/ and sign in if necessary. Click on Advanced Settings. Scroll down and uncheck Enable OpenDNS proxy, then click Apply. Wait a few minutes, or try running "ipconfig/flushdns" from the command line if you're using Windows, or restart your computer, and then your settings should take effect. The downside to disabling the proxy is that it will break some of OpenDNS's features.
Is OpenDNS running a proxy? Yes. Some software, including your (and our) beloved Google Toolbar, intercepts requests made via the address bar so that DNS requests never occur. This creates some usability issues, including making shortcuts - which require DNS requests to be made from the address bar - unreliable. We've designed a simple proxy that ensures the best of Google and OpenDNS work without causing problems.
When enabled, we route certain requests to a simple proxy which checks for the origin of the request. Shortcut-related traffic gets handled (and redirected) while all other traffic goes to the intended destination untouched. We are not storing or mining any of the data that passes through the proxy. The proxy does nothing malicious - it's designed to make your shortcuts work seamlessly with the Google Toolbar and similar services, giving you the best of both worlds.
Like all OpenDNS services, the proxy is respectful of your privacy. We do not track any of the searches made through the proxy. In fact, since so many people use Google we automatically rotate and delete the logs frequently. We do not store any of those logs, nor do we perform any non-operational-related analysis of the traffic sent through the proxy at any time. Protecting your privacy and delivering a fantastic navigational experience will always be two of our main goals at OpenDNS. We believe that this solution provides just that, and continues our tradition of innovative services that make your Internet experience with OpenDNS faster, safer and more reliable.
Ultimately, this proxy serves to enhance the OpenDNS experience and we recommend you leave it enabled.
Also, from the OpenDNS FAQ regarding the workaround for Dell adware:
Will this make Google slower? No. We are doing this URL redirection on all of our servers in all of our locations. Loading Google should take no longer than it took before we made this change. Also, all of Google's other domains like like gmail.com and even subdomains like reader.google.com still work as they did before. We don't re-route any of those.
Are you tracking or keeping a log of my searches? No way. Absolutely not.
Well HDMI is not the problem but HDCPis, HDMI does not mandate any form of DRM. The content owners on the other hand requiers that a tv suports hdcp so that they can stop people from recording the content digitaly. So if you dont like DRM get a video capture card, and yuse analog component out to make the recording. I dont know if you can capture the digital sount track directly or not so if anyone cares to comment Ill be happy ty get any input.
Well I checked out a few things and here is a concrete example from the Swedish dtt deployment:
channell bandwidth: 8MHz
line coding:64-qam
codec: MPEG2
Number of channels per multiplex 8-10
Format:625 lines 25fps interlaced
compared to the old PAl B/G analog system this is 8 to 10 times more efficient.
Correct me if I am wrong, but IIRC dtt and analog uses the same 6MHz per broadcast, but with digial you can compress a lot so you can hav a multiplex of several channels (e.g ABC1 and ABC2 etc) in the 6Mhz block that vas used only for ABC1 on analog.
If I am wrong pleace write a comment correcting me insted ov moding mw down, that way everyone has a chance to lern something.
Well shipping costs I can not comment about (I do not now the rates used in the us/Canada), the RTT for 5000 miles will be about 53.6 ms.
Here is tha calculation
Light speed: 186 411 miles/second
Distance: 10 000 miles (iiuc the fiber is 5000 miles long so fo a raond trip the singnal hs to travel 10 000 Miles)
RTT (propagation dalay):10000/186411=53.6ms
Note: yes i know they will not run a single fiber 5000 miles in one go so RTT will be larger, but this at lesat gives an indication.
What about the 127.0.0.0/8 block? Can anyone please explain why local loopback needs to have such a large address space?
Maby I@ve missed something nit after reading rfc3330 and rfc1700 I still dont understand this large asignment for local loopback. If someone can give me a pointer to relevant info I wold appreciate it.
no as per rfc3177 section 3 (ftp://ftp.ripe.net/rfc/rfc3177.txt) the normal case even for home users wold be getting a 48 bit mask this means that you hac 16 bits for local subneting (128 bits - 64 (interface id) -48 (prefix) =16 bits). I know this is just recomandations bet the maximum prefix lenght is 64 otherwise the method for autoconfiguration will not work. Personaly I think that the norm will be that you recive a static/48 with youre standard contract and youre ISP will charge you exstra for a shorter prefix/multiple 48s.
Why I think static will be standard:
1: easier for ISP to keep track of who has an address block in case of legal problems (Copyright infringement + RIAA)
2:no need to conserve addresses as an ISP will be asigned sufficient adressn space and it will be relativly esy for them to get exstra address space when needed.

One way to reduce the spam is for all domain owners to publish spf records (http://www.openspf.org/), and for all mail filters to tag all email failing spf as spam (make it visible i.e. ad SPAM: to subject). This will top the botnets from bumping out spam and ISPs do will no longer need to block outbound smtp. And just maybe make spam filter check all headers and tag mail as spam if the dont match.
I know this cant be done over night but lets say this will be implemented by 2009 we will have a lot less spam.
Ok thos is just speculation on my part, but t least on athe desktop version of osX ! guess adialog will pop up the fist time you plug in a storrage device.
Somthing alog yhese lines:"A new storrage device os size x hace been detected, What do you want to do with it?" Add to storrafe pool or mount as a removable file system.
This message can be skiped if the disk is unformated and connected to an inetrnet sata connector as it is apperant what you want with it
If you dussagree plz send a comment explaining where Im wrong. Amd pleace dont mod me down my carama is low as it is.
On a bad day you can*t even get from Roterfam to Amsterdam in 5 hours, and that is not even half the coutry. And at 05:00 (That`s 5 AM) on a sunday the motorway was allrady filling up (all 4 lanes), and thus is totaly normal. So as for getting from south to north un 3 houers good luck
And before you mod me down I Have famely there and thay say this kind of is normal
Well so don@t buy the crippeld model from the sell operator., save up for it (this might be a new concept to people n the US but it works) and buy the full-price phone from an indipendent dealer.
I know it's simple to do that, but is i legal?
Brobably not, it will be tha same as you using youre nabors cordles phone base to du youre calling. IIRC it is eliegal tu utelise someones resources withot ther prior concent.
