Well if you think about it just about any innovative technology is going to have extremely high costs up front. Energy efficient cars are only slowly coming down in costs because demand is finally climbing high enough. These overall costs discussed are rather skewed towards existing technologies because of course, mass producing a couple tracks is rather easy now. Think about running those lines a hundred years ago where it was all done by laborers crafting steel.
As far as that bill goes, before deciding that material obscene to minors should be banned, how about we decide _what_ is obscene to minors. Isn't this really a morality issue up to the _parents_ not Big Brother? Material described as obscene and harmful to minors is so disgustingly vague, that anyone can come on and say Microsoft.com is harmful to minors. Let's ban that (yay).
I don't want legislators in congress deciding what is and isn't obscene for me.
From the article: "...FBCB2 relies on a classified radio band to communicate. BFT, designed later... uses more-open satellite transmissions; troops can share information at greater distances, but they can't get the kind of secrecy that FBCB2 provides. The Army is working on a bridge between the two systems so that they will be able to share some basic information, but for now they are mostly incompatible. Feldmayer won't be able to see where the tank is leading them, and he won't be able to use FBCB2's Instant Messenger-like tool to quickly relay commands. He won't have access to any of the communications links that increase what the Pentagon calls "situational awareness" and that ultimately power network-centric warfare. If the navigation systems were working, every vehicle could split up or speed ahead if an attack came, without getting lost. But today they will all have to follow the tank's taillights in a neat line, just as it was done in 1944."
No matter what the Pentagon eventually comes up with as far as "21st Century Warfare" goes, they're going to have to pull out a big tab from Congress' already lemon-squeezed budget to get everyone up to speed. And from then on, they're going to have to come up with some standards to keep everyone on the same page.
It shouldn't be too hard, as long as they don't start hiring people from Microsoft.
Simply just adding new flare to help new, inexperienced users, while not generally fixing problems that us veterans have come across. Of all the issues right now, I never noticed having a "close" button on the individual tab itself as a high priority. Maybe that's just me.
"Xen also offers virtual machine migration, where you freeze a Xen guest, move it to another machine and resume it there... This also means that a similar environment for the guest has to exist on the remote system."
And if a similar environment is not available when it is moved, what happens to the state of the user? Would the hardware in use when the state is saved have to be exactly alike on the target machine?
Also, is the information retained on the backup until the full migration is completed and then deleted, or is deleting the backup during the migration optional, leaving a "frozen" and "restorable" state on the server? Is that a security risk if the workstation is compromised?
Quoting from the article, "...the vaccine recipients produced Ebola-specific antibodies, giving 'us some confidence that the vaccine is having an effect on the immune system'..."
If this is the case, it will most likely be added among the shots we receive when we are born. Possibly, if all goes well, we could at it to Malaria as a thing of the past.
You just have to wonder though, does it have the potential to mutate and develope new/different strands?
There are consequences to EVERYTHING we say, but that is not the issue at all. What China is doing is censorship. That's all there is to it. Nothing to deny, no excuses, censorship is censorship. But what is going on with these religious zealots threatening people with violence over cartoons (Cartoons! This is not something said on a soap-box, not something aired over public radio or national television, but a simple cartoon!), that is just disgusting.
They are overthrowing embassies, killing people, rioting in the streets, and all over some cartoons, claiming that their print was a purposeful act of intolerance of their religion. They believe in the idea that "Thou shalt not make false idols" of Muhammed or speak of his name in vain, but when the 9-11 hi-jackers claimed their attack "in the name of Islam" and "in the name of Muhammed" why weren't they complaining then?! These are also the same people who have printed cartoons of nazi swastikas over Americans and Jews, of horrible depictions of Jesus Christ, of Americans killing muslim/islamic women and children, and of American beheadings- all in the name of good humor and fun?! They're just cartoons eh?
This whole ordeal is not only a sickening demonstration of their disregard for other nation's rights, but a clear and honest example of why they alienate themselves from the societies in which they expect to live in harmonously. They want to get away with saying whatever they want under the protection of free speech, but the moment they are on the butt end of a joke, they rio and burn buildings! Complete an utter intolerance- plain and simple.
(I suppose I got a little off track of the actual topic, but I feel this had to be said.)
I think what is, not so much overlooked, but not always considered when thinking of Open Source projects, is that these developers are not working on this Full-Time (usually). This is a project divided among a group who all either share an interest in the resultant, or were brought together to contribute their knowledge in certain fields. It is unlikely that they would have previously held management positions or have acted as project leaders- not to just to govern themselves, but to hold a leadership over a group.
What needs to be added to the equation is a person who has experience in managing people to reach a certain goal. I think he had some pros and cons in relying on the group to choose the route to take in designing his project. What needs to be laid out before diving in is the issues that you want to tackle, the ways you plan on tackling them, and the resources you have available.
I guess I'm just preaching to the choir when I say all this, but that's just how it has to be. In the end there has to be just one person to make a decision.
When I was 11 or something, I built a hospital out of legos. It had at least 9-11 floors (around 5ft tall), had an elevator that was built off the ropes from the lego-fire engines (you'd use a piece to roll the string to pull the elevator up/down), and had everything inside that a real hospital would have (cafeteria, x-ray, hospital rooms, bathrooms, offices, reception at the bottom, etc). It was cut such that it had 3 walls, so the back was open (the elevator stuck out at the back), and you could see the front, of the hospital.
In 2000, 2001, not sure anymore, (It's been over 5 years) a lego contest was held in Indiannapolis, Indiana. I went. I was, literally, guranteed the win- according to a judge. Unfortunately for me, a parent of some child who had some lame out of the box directions entry that was guranteed to lose, noticed I had megablocks at the top of my hospital. (The top was built like the empire state building.) I didn't know, my parents bought megablocks, legos, they all looked the same. Who was to know right? Well, the judges were forced to disqualify me from the $10,000 grand prize, and instead, gave me runner up with a couple hats, a nice t-shirt that now no longer fits, and a pat on the back for an excellant job well done.
Story of my life. I think megablocks should be shutdown. If a 11 year old kid can't tell the difference, what proof do you need?

I bet you won't find any RDRAM in the servers churning out all these old emails.

that isn't bad at all.
Haven't there already been attempts at such attacks elsewhere?
Heh, pov (point of view) pod.com gives you that, point of view.
Probably one actually. Knowing him he probably only thinks for himself.
