I think a more likely reason being is that file gets infected by a virus that your virus scanner can't detect yet, i.e. definitions don't see the virus. Update the.dat files the next day and scan, boom it detects the virus.
3mpg? My CR-V gets 27MPG which I can deal with.
No vanity here. Convenience, safety, better field of view (which would have helped me miss the dear that I hit with my Corolla) and being more versatile are some of the reasons for the choice.
SUVs are not driving up the price of this 'taxed' resource.
Sure if everyone would drive hybrid cars the amount of fossil fuel consumption would be lower, but that still doesn't stop it from increasing every year. As population and business increases in the US, fossil fuel demand would still increase daily like it is now. Let's not forget about the emerging countries consuming more themselves i.e. China, which is increasing its demand for oil faster than the US.
The only people I still see running 98 or ME are people that would rather pay me $200 to fix their old Pentium/2 PC rather than spend the $500 or whatever on a new one.
They aren't the type to use Linux unless someone tried to force them to.
I don't know if this was part of her policy, but what I really hated about HP is how things disappeared so quickly from their website.
About 4 or so years ago I went up to the site to look for a rack kit for a large DLT Tape Drive that we had bought new a little over a year before. I found very minimal information on the tape drive. I did get the information after making a request, but was also told that since the drive wasn't being sold anymore it had reached end of service and soon would be disappearing altogether from the site.
I was absolutely stunned. I could not only get part numbers but drivers and documentation from IBM for our 10 year old servers from their site. I guess HP was trying to save on hard drive space or something. So f-ing annoying.
We haven't bought from HP since so I don't know if this has changed.
Every relatively new server dell server we have runs Linux, well kind of.
They run vmware's ESX server which is based off of I believe redhat.
Of course every one of those 'linux' installs has 8-10 Windows virtual machines running on them.
You will be able to see who is using the bandwidth and what applications are using it. You can then block or set low priority for non-work related traffic.
If bandwidth is still an issue I would look at bonded T-1 lines, which is what we do. Once the router is configured there is really no administration. Then step up to a fractional t-3 when necessary.
Specialized equipment in order to listen? Just because Wal-Mart doesn't carry radio scanners (Radio Shack does, maybe Wal-Mart does I don't know) doesn't mean the equipment is specialized. One could listen to hams and also police, fire, EMT, businesses, and cell/cordless phones if you have the right models. You also don't need any sort of license to purchase one of these scanners. You won't pick up all the frequencies that hams broadcast on, but you will hear plenty of local traffic. One can't just turn to an Internet station dial in the car either to listen to a podcast. Sure it's easier to use a computer than getting into ham. You don't need a license to legally use a computer or pass a test (which sometimes I think should be required) and the reasons for using each are much different. The typical person uses the computer to email familiars and to look up information plus entertainment. While people get into ham radio for the science of it. To use radio technology to talk with people basically around the world independent of phone lines or networks except for maybe a repeater.
If you have 'something worthwhile to spread' then ham isn't the technology to use. Ham shouldn't be looked on as like setting up a radio station. Its about 2 way communication, I believe broadcasting just to broadcast isn't allowed. Ham radio isn't about broadcasting to the public things to do in a disaster situation, it's about providing coordination thru communications for whoever is in charge of managing the disaster when traditional communication technologies fail.
We also run McAfee with EPO and wouldn't have it any other way.
EPO allows me to manage virus scan thru out the organization from one console.
Updated Dat files are released daily and pushed out within an hour.
The so called black eye was 50 dat revisions ago. We were not affected.
Maybe they just plugged in so to speak.
With free open wireless being made more available in higher ed, all it takes someone sitting on/near campus with a laptop to be on the network. No need for paying off an insider.
How they identified file sharing on the lan is a different matter.
Which is why I have been saying for awhile now that Tivo will either be bought or run out of business.
With satellite and cable providers developing their own DVR based receivers the future isn't too bright for Tivo. Suing is not a good long term business plan.
Instructor of a UNIX class I took about 10 years ago worked at Random House in IT. He took us on a tour of the facility. Back then they were using Token Ring, don't know if that's still the case.
Yeah a lot of current tivo users will stay. The problem is DirecTivos are not being sold/leased anymore, new customers will not know tivo, the same with cable company dvrs.
I have a DirecTivo and think it is great. But unless Tivo starts getting into the DVRs being sold/leased/rented now "Tivo Inside", I think the long term prospects for the company doesn't look good.
You think?
In 5 years the cable companies with have dvr's that won't violate any patent infringements if they don't already. DirecTV has stopped selling Tivo based receivers and while Tivo will still provide service for current owners, every year that number will decline, also add in the fact that Tivo and DirecTV has agreed not to sue each other.
The only way I see them making money down the road is suing cable companies over their own DVRs. To me that isn't a sound business plan.
Tivo missed the DVR boat when cable companies first started introducing them. At one point DVR did equal Tivo, every day that becomes less and less of a fact.
In 5 years Tivo will be going out or out of business, bought by a bigger company or in a market very different than they are now.
You are discounting a whole segment of users that use XP home and don't need anything else. Just because they are not the Slashdot reader type doesn't mean they don't count. Looking at the versions, 1 is for 'emerging markets' i.e. not for here, so really there are 5. I do think that is 2 or 3 versions too many. Sell a basic home version and pro version. Put the extra's in resource kits or plus packs like they have done in the past and sell it separately. That would help with the confusion having so many versions bring.
/side rant The silver medal game was on TV today at 2pm eastern. Could they not schedule the gold medal game either later today or later tomorrow? Not liking the 8am start./side rant
The streaming is something they should have been doing for the entire Olympic Games, instead of this one hockey game. It would have been nice to catch some of the games from the comfort of my desk at work.
Do they really think that many people in the US are going to be interested in Finland vs Sweden? The only ones that are would be watching it on TV anyway. The game is on at 8am on Sunday morning. I don't see a lot of demand for the internet stream. Be different if it was a weekday.
Having said that I do think the Olympic committee should require, at least here in the US that any media company, like NBC that carries the Olympics provide live internet streams of all the events. That would make catching the Olympics particularly during the week a lot easier.
Giving the findings here, cant some of us just move on with life? Am I really supposed to believe a posting off a discussion board whose main purpose seems to be selling a book? It is always Florida with the voting fraud, what about the dead in Chicago and the unprecedented amount of registered voters in Philly? One doesn't have to be too cynical to see why Florida is looked at and other places are not. Just simply more FUD against the current President.
Like many people I would like to see a perfect voting system. Perfect meaning ever valid vote counts, not just my choice winning. But I doubt that will ever happen. Florida is not the only place with voting issues.
"Free video hosting and the popularity of iTunes is blamed for this phenomenon."
No it isn't. The article states that over 60% of the traffic is p2p.
How much of that is actually legal stuff? Whether you agree with current copyright laws or not the fact is half or more of the traffic is currently illegal stuff.
In the early days of the Internet pr0n was a big driving force behind better faster technology. Now it should be p2p, but there is currently no money being made from p2p to push it.
Raising the price (tax) to try to influence people's behavior? I guess if it works for the government it works for AOL.
Looking at it, it is obviously a smart business move. Broadband customers are cheaper since that decreases the need for phone lines. And people that stay on dialup mostly likely don't have a broadband option so it doesn't matter how much they are screwed over. They will still pay.
If I was building a bike and the custom handlebars I made had to be remade from scratch because they wouldn't work, that would be a setback.
But in the past few days I was able to finish the fenders and gas tank, that is called progress.
Am I flip-flopping too?
All politicians flip flop at some point. Just that some are more obvious than others.
Thanks, but we've all seen Google China's tiananmen search vs The US version
I saw it for the first time just now.
Thanks for sharing.
I think people show know what is being censored.
Every time censorship in China is discussed examples like this should be given.
Bought some dvd-r's that had a $5 mail in rebate.
Logged into BJ's website, entered the code off the receipt and received the check about 4 weeks later.
Not sure when they started this, but it is a really nice service.

Use a packet shaper, we use one by Packeteer.

The game wont make me upgrade. By the time I do move to Vista Halo 4 will be coming out. Probably wont play that game either.
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ good place to start researching. For me, Pair has always done me good.

Does he realize that if Microsoft improves their image and becomes more like Apple it is only going to hurt Apple?
Guess someone has some MS stock that he wants to see go up.
