To a degree this already happens, ATI have the VPU recovery option in their drivers which restart the graphics VPU upon an error. I'm sure nvidia have something similar.
British police are more like to be up close and personal and stabbed then shot like police in America hence they tend wear stab vests unless specificaly responding to a firearms offence.
Behavour is chemical. You can just as easily become addicted to natural chemical highs, like people who race cars or jump from plains and and buildings then you can to "chemical" drugs. Suprise suprise it creates a pleasureable chemical reaction in the brain.
Effective drugs tend to mimic natural brain chemicals, having enough of a similar structure to activate receptors in the brain.
Everything is a chemical reaction and in my mind addiction is not something to be scared of.
It's this natural reaction which has keept us going all these years. It's pretty healthy to have an addiction to regularly eating and having sex, they both satisfy a chemical dependancy in the brain and both vital to the future of the human race. Look at how often men masturbate when they can't shag, it dosn't serve any purpose except for feeling good. It's an addiction to the chemical rush anything can become associated with, but is it bad? No.
Gaming for many modern people can simulate the rush of the hunt. It's just fulfilling the other half of you that wants to vanquish. Not something every person living in this modern crazy world feel they can't do in real life. Yes it may become a chemical addiction, should we be suprised? No. is it something to worry about? No.
3G has been here in the UK for several years, I have a 3G data card in my laptop and I've got to say I'm impressed. For the most part it picks up a good 3G connection at 384kbs/s, fast enough to browse. It will use 8011.2g if availible otherwise 3G or failsover to GPRS.
My package alows me something like 75MB a day for free and then you have to pay for extra bandwidth but as something to use on train/road for picking up emails, doing basic browsing it's perfect. Obviously this get's owned but the 24Mb/s ADSL2+ offered in the home but for a truely portable device that actualy has a large infrastructure built unlike 8011.2g it's not bad.
3G coverage is obviously not quite the 99.9% that GPRS covers but it's getting there. Welcome to the modern world USA.
We tried sugar but the model didn't fit our buisness.
We spoke with many sales reps who tought the methology within sugar for moving people through the various sales stages didn't make correct sense.
We gave sugar a good go but ended up settling with salesforce.com. If sugar improves we will be right back there but for the time being it's a nice try but without a true understanding of how the buisness model realy works.
I'm interested to try out MS CRM and see if it's any good, also the possibilites of this being used as a shared hosted solution maybe.
As an aside, it's funny how many slashdoters are seemingly not in the IT industry, show by the fact they don't even know what a CRM system is. Not that I ever doubted it.
You are completely wrong, times are changing. I work in the IT services industry and remote software and IT services are on the up.
Think about a hypothetical situation, you're a company of 5 to 250 lawyers, you don't run your own Telco or hand deliver your mail, but you currently have an IT staff running a email system and software or hardware to scan for virus/spam in email, then running and maintaining web content filtering systems, installing software updates to application like office on the desktop and running any sort of collaboration software.
Why are you doing this? With the price, speed and reliability of the modern internet why not just pay an IT service company to provide you with hosted shared Microsoft exchange with mail scanned for spam virus's and unwanted content, fully customizable web proxies which scan all your incoming web traffic for bad sites, viruses, spy-ware. Collaboration tools linked in with smart-phones, hosted application which are always up to date. (something like a coporate version of office live maybe? or ms office/open office accesed through citrix) This is all done at the internet level and no doubt with tight SLA's which provide your business with a safety net.
Add to that licences at a monthly cost so your business can scale in any way you want rather then buying costly multi year CAL's and also changing the budgeting from CAPEX to the operation budget.
Essentially in this hypothetical situation your company is paying for staff who aren't generating any cash and are totally unneeded.
By using a service, cost are also brought down by the fact these guys have the economy of scale. They can host your system in world class data centres on large high class systems and split the price between many customers, but still providing all the power the user needs. And then of course competition in the market means you'd be more likely to get a deal then buying software.
I can't see why the world will not realise this soon.
Something like 95% of companys are 10 people or less, the IT industry would be fools to avoid this market and just focus on the big guys and this is where hosted apps are perfect.
According to the Windows server 2003 enviroment training manual for the MCSE.
Datacentre edition, is OEM and supports 32 way on 32 bit systems 64GB max memory, 64 way on 64 bit with 512GB ram and there is also a special configuration of 2 x 64 way partitions to allow 128 way.
So that's the facts from the horses mouth.

Why don't you go to icann.org and then come back and tell me the 'I' stands for international.
It stands for internet. Perhaps you should have checked that before making yourself look like a buffoon in front of Slashdot.

Most useful I've found so far is EditCSS, grate help when making modifications to the style of a wesbite.

Slashdot, yesterdays opinions on todays topics.
Well technicaly you are "starting" the shutdown proccess. So clicking on start makes perfect sense.

Isn't this where a program like peer guardian along with decent IP list comes in. I'd never run BT without it.

Where do you guys keep getting international from?
Geeze and you think anyone will trust your word when you make such an obvious mistake.
