If you are already using Window 7's IPv6 on a network with other operating systems using the protocol you may run into some compatibility problems. The root of this is that Windows 7 handles IPv6 auto-configuration with the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) in a manner that's not quite the same as how the RFC standards prescribes them
Or this:
You should also keep in mind that while you can join a HomeGroup with any edition of Windows 7, you can only create one in Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, or Enterprise So, in short, you can't use it as drop-in replacement for an existing Windows XP peer-to-peer Workgroup network in which every PC shares all its resources with the others.
And, even better:
Some users who've already been using IPv4 may also have trouble turning IPv6 on for their HomeGroup. Typically, this is what happens: they try to enable IPv6 by opening Network Connections in the Control Panel, right-clicking the adapter, and clicking properties. Under "Local Area Connection Status" they see:
IPv4 Connectivity: Internet
IPv6 Connectivity: No network access
If that happens to you, you probably need to manually set up IPv6. This is done, according to Microsoft, with the following steps:
1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit.exe in the Programs list.
So, to get normal functionality for a HomeGroup, they have to edit the Registry.
You're right, if he tested multiple pollsters then he'd have to correct for multiple comparisons. Even so, you'd expect results as bad as SV's about one time in half a million.
Which would be mighty hard unless they all asked the same questions of the same people. By looking at methodology (what states were polled, # of likely voters etc) there should be some commonality.
Instead, he used the results of all of their polls over a 5 year period (both controversial and non-controversial subjects). That should have created a suitably random result. It did not.
So, can a corporation have free speech? No, because it doesn't have a mouth.
See the first case that SCOTUS will hear (one month before the normal start of their session). It is a "free speech" issue regarding campaign finance (do corporations, unions and PACs) have the right to air political ads without claiming them as a "donation in kind", triggering matching funds.
The argument being presented in support claims that campaign donations (from those corporations, unions and PACs) are free speech and therefore cannot be legally constrained.
Even though they are not able to vote, they are still able to influence elections. Some say that their influence is corrosive.
TKIP was fundamentally broken, by design. We knew that. TKIP was invented as an intermediate encryption that could run on the same hardware that WEP ran on.
TKIP (Timed Key Interchange Protocol, for those who don't know) does have a weak spot. This is that the new key is sent out from the access point on a regular basis. Cisco's implementation (supported by most companies that supply 802.11a equipment) makes two changes. One is that the time value set is a maximum value (the key change interval is actually random). The other is that the new key is sent via the encrypted session. You therefore have to have cracked the old key to receive the new key.
It will be interesting to see if that is discussed when the paper is presented.
Unlike the buggy whip people, Ham operators have constantly come up with new stuff, like figuring out how to make shortwaves go across an ocean.
OR:
Digital transmission
Mobile Data Terminals
Trunked Radio
Wireless Video
Mobile (and Fixed) Repeaters
Digital Spread Spectrum - you know, WIFI
As a ham radio operator (17 years), an ARRL Emergency Coordinator (8 years) and a liason to State and County emergency management departments for 12 years, you will be glad we're here when the rest is down
Most web devs don't give a hoot about IE specifics unless they're a doze only shop, few even bother with IE6 support any more unless contractually obliged to do so.
Now, if we can get the webdev software developers to pay attention to strict specifications (Dreamweaver, I'm looking at you), we can see the browser makers paying attention to standards.
Unlike California, Arizona cannot issue state debt (I believe it may even be in the constitution), so it looks like they're looking for a back-end deal to issue debt without violating state laws. It may not even be such a terrible idea. Interest rates (cap rates, more specifically) on real property for a AAA tenant are very reasonable. If they could incur a small amount of debt constitutionally, and pay a reasonable rate for it, pay it off in the future, it's not entirely bad. I'm not saying it's good, but that's where AZ is at right now.
The debt service being talked about over the 20 year period is equal to twice the amount that is projected to be received. That is, we expect to get $750 million (approximately), pay $1.4 billion over the next twenty years then pay $750 million to buy the properties back. That does not seem like a good deal to me (one of the people who will have to pay for it).
Term limits: They suck. I used to support them, but I was wrong. Term limits result in a legislature that doesn't know WTF it's doing at any time. There is no institutional memory, and once someone understands the complex process of creating and passing legislation - they get the boot. Additionally, because no one exactly knows their jobs, term limits result in a weak branch of government, so the executive tends to dominate. This is not what our respective state constitutions intended. I wish people would put two and two together on this.
Yes, but term limits are necessary, and work if done right. Otherwise, you wind up with the situation in our Congress, where the career politicians have forgotten what it is like to have to work for a living.
That is how you wind up with Medicare Part D. You know, the one where medications are 75% covered up to $2500, then nothing for the next $3500. The one where the government cannot negotiate with the drug companies and so pays twice what the VA pays for the same medication.
Or the presidential helicopter wing (over budget by $6B and 4 years late) that is still to be funded because Rep. Murtha doesn't want to waste the money already spent while ignoring the further waste.
Give them two to three terms and then no political office for an equivalent time. Then they can run again. No lifetime pension. Minimum required health care (if we ever see anything like universal care). Contribute to Social Security. All the things the rest of us have to do.
Then you might see something approaching real, responsive government.
On the Arizona front, claw back all of the salary and per diem paid to our legislators (yes, I live here). They have one constitutionally mandated task, to pass a balanced budget. They have failed to to the job they were hired to do. Don't do the job, don't get paid. Can't work with the other employees? You are fired. Want to ignore your employer's wishes (voter mandates on funds)? Clean up your resume. Want to steal from other companies (sweeping the local and county government funds to balance the state budget)? Get ready for a stretch in prison.
Her former high school principal found the rant while browsing her MySpace page (what?), and forwarded it to the town newspaper, which published the "rant" without the girl's permission, signed with her full name, as a letter to the editor (what?).
It is not clear from the article whether or not her page was public.
Even if it were public, without seeing the actual letter to the editor whether or not the principal wrote "I found this..." or whether the "letter to the editor" was portrayed as being submitted by the student.
If the letter was submitted as the principal's opinion, then
He or she was wrong in identifying the student.
The paper was wrong in accepting the submission without obtaining consent from the student prior to publishing the content
In any case, there could be a good argument for damages (assuming a sympathetic jury), not from the abuse of copyright but from the assault on the family's privacy and business interests. However, this would be better if the suit came from the father (who lost his business) and/or the family as a whole (who suffered the consesquences), on the basis of slander (the MySpace entry portrayed the opinion of one as the sentiments of the entire group).
The article specifically mentions VPN's (Virtual Private Networks). By definition, these are encrypted. Unless the attack happens prior to the VPN connection, how does the attacker inject anything into an encrypted datastream? If it is done prior to the connection, what is new about the attack vector
Once the VPN is connected, for all intents and purposes the equipment on both ends of the line are on the same LAN (different segment maybe, but not necessarily). This is much smoke and no flame.
So who says that ownership of copyrights is not in dispute? Of course, we don't have any evidence that the RIAA lawyers are lying, but in a case where they already tried to get $200,000 off Mrs. Thomas, I think the defendant shouldn't have to take their word for it when they claim copyright ownership.
The issue here quite possibly is whether or not the RIAA has standing to sue.
In my home I run ALL PC's on limited user accounts, this should have been made standard 8 years ago when the push for security came about.
Windows Media Center. Two accounts - Administrator (hidden by default, accessible by three finger salute) and personal account. Try to set personal account to limited user (logged in as Administrator). Response: You must have an administrator account. In other words, You must have TWO administrator accounts (one as a personal account). WTF is this?
Good so far, but you omit the fact that Netscape Navigator was SOLD as a product.
2. MS started bundling IE with Windows
Beginning of the problem. MS started bundling IE with Windows FOR FREE
3. IE took over the market
Here is the crux of the problem. Windows was the dominant desktop O/S. By providing a web browser FREE, they leveraged the dominance of their desktop O/S to destroy Netscape's business.
4. Therefore MS bundling IE with Windows was anti competitive and illegal.
Linux may have a better implementation to keep those risks from escalating quickly compared to windows, but I would not run nation-critical apps on it. Not at this point in time.
A number of years ago, I worked in a DSS Classified Lab as a Systems Admin. Several of us used PDA's to keep technical tips available (as well as the current NISPOM). When PDA's started to ship with wireless, DSS told us (even the SA's who had presumed need to know about everything on every system in the lab) that we could not carry even a PDA w/o wireless.
Yes, it is convienient to give devices wireless connections, but signal quality is a huge issue with location, time and simple randomness all coming into play in ways cable simply does not have trouble with.
Then there's the odd consultant (dealt with this multiple times) that thinks that the higher gain, the better (1 watt amp + 18db antenna). Aside from this being totally illegal (48db EIRP vs 36db legal max), the pattern looks like a frisbee, rather than an overstuffed creme doughnut. This is great for rooftop to roof top, but sucks for wide area (I've gone 5 miles on 36db).
Why the hell do some of these companies even need 16+ million addresses?
Can't answer to the others, but IBM uses it's address space for all of it's equipment worldwide (desktops, labs, wireless, etc). All of the equipment is accessible via internal LAN's for each and every building IBM is in (and access can be had via VLAN if approved). The others may have similar needs.
Vista was actually a solid enough release and most of the issues were due to bad drivers that manufacturers didn't bother updating a year beforehand when they had betas and release candidates.
No, the problem was that MS changed the underlying layers between the betas, RC's and the RTM. Since that was happening, the manufacturers held off until they had a stable platform to shoot at.

Or this:
And, even better:
Umm, no. Not on my computer, they're not.

Of course, you had to know

Because ALL of the addresses (and all of the subnets) are accessible from the outside world through VPN's.
