$10 must be nice. 2000, 17, and $6.50/hr doing the "grunt" work of being a technician for the local high school. However, fast forward 8 years and I took those skills, coupled them with experience from the Air Force, and threw in some college. I now make well more than any of those salaries listed and enjoy what I'm doing as a DBA, with plenty of room to grow. Moral of the story is do your time, learn, grow, mature, and work at what you want in life. And yes, old timers, I know I didn't put in as many dues as most.
good point. i was thinking more like: the size of the tubes used in sewers are designed to a specific size based on usage, flooding, etc. if you constrict the maximum amount the tubes can move, what happens in a flood situation?
maybe not, but when "The device features and AMD Imageon processor, 8GB of flash memory, a 5" touch screen, and a built in magnetic QWERTY keyboard, GPS navigator and 3MP camera." the real question is: Does it blend?
When a theft occurs, the thief has gained something and the thieved has lost something without their consent.... Copying data is not related to theft, in any way.
See, you contradicted yourself. When you copy something, you take away the scarcity of the product. If I have 10 copies of my movie, I can sell it for $10 a pop. If you make a 10 copies, now the market has twice as many, making my product less scarce, hence you took away from the value of the movie. Wouldn't you get pissed if you paid $50k for a BMW just for me to copy it, for free mind you? It'd make it worth a hell of a lot less. My comment isn't about copying physical goods, but in a digital world scarcity of a product is what helps drive costs. You can still have scarcity in an infinitely non-scare economy (bonus features on the dvd, cover art, backstage passes, shirts, etc) which will make revenue.
..and you've only touched the surface. this can be the end of this scheme before it's even really started. what about a standalone player? unless it's connected to the web and can auto-update, i've got to burn and feed it updated keys every month or so whenever new keys are used. how many times do you figure i'd put up with that because i bought a movie and can't play it until i update my keys? twice? how many times do i have to hate the format because it simply doesn't work every time? as if the financial price wasn't a high enough barrier for the format, now i have to pay the annoyance price of updating my stuff on the regular. no thanks.
please don't use the words "Rails" and "taint checking" in the same paragraph; some of use would rather you not check their taint with anything for that matter.
i think we'll just have to agree to disagree. you say to use an open document structure so anyone can use it, yay! i say microsoft is in the position to dictate formats because they're the industry leader (regardless of how they got there), which includes even CSS renderings (and opinions are like buttholes). if microsoft had some sort of incentive to support an open format, then maybe they would. and you know what, if it wasn't microsoft then it'd just be some other private company running the show (be it apple, ibm, etc). microsoft is in the business to make money. don't fault them for doing that. as it is, human beings are pretty predictable which is why i say that if you were microsoft you'd never be where it is today with the attitude of universal formats. few businesses would be worth a damn if they just freely gave out everything that requires some form of keeping things away from the general populous (recipes from hostess, rdbms code from oracle, brass mixtures for cymbal makers, etc). free market--compete! or shut up and color with the rest of those that wish they had a piece of the pie. all of those on the list, from what i could tell, are linux/oss supporters, including google--and it appears that no one there benefits in the pocketbook from having an open format...with names like Open Enterprise Solutions or City of Bloomington i don't see how these folks want closed source anything. i did see IBM and Unisys on the list, but they know they're not in position to dictate anything in regards to document formats (and i sure as hell don't see IBM giving out the source code for their mainframe software--please correct me if i'm wrong). all those on the list stand to save money by having oss products to do their documents in, so as to not pay money to microsoft in terms of licensing fees for microsoft office./rant
I genuinely hope that the public don't buy this latest round of Msft. bullsh-t, Office 2003 is still perfectly capable, why should users be forced to upgrade?
three letters: XML. have you ever tried to generate an excel document with charts without using an office object? can't really be done in a secure (read: won't potentially crash your IIS box) manner due to needing office installed. in an environment where reports (excel, ppt, word) are generated by a site this is priceless.
to quote george carlin:
Why do we assume everyone knows where they can stick it? Suppose you don't know? Suppose you're a new guy, and you have absolutely no idea where you can stick it? I think there ought to be a government booklet entitled Where to Stick It. Now that I think of it, I believe there is a government booklet like that. They send it to you on April 15.

"back in the day" when my 80387 (7?..coprocessor) was sitting to the side with it's own instructions to complete, the commands never had to traverse up and down a much slower ISA bus. why not apply the same idea to upgrading your CPU and GPU separately through a slot/socket design? they can still share memory (not necessarily cache--sorry), but the agp/pcie bus is removed. communication between a single die g/cpu will still have some sort of bus, albeit a very tiny bus with tiny pathways; why not just make the pathways a bit bigger and build them into the mobo?
This is the beginning of the end, finally. In a few years, Microsoft will be irrelevant.
To quote you: "Then you're an idiot." Regardless of the cost, unsigned drivers will continue to exist--albeit you'll have to turn off this protection while you install, but they won't go anywhere.

I guess they're right...my Outlook PSTs are only 1.15GB. The size I've got isn't that uncommon from the five people polled in my office. Yes, that's four years worth of email; but when I've got to pull up something from two years ago, I need it.
I'd argue that the reason people are using IE is because it's what came with their desktop, preloaded, as an OTTB solution. Also, to the great-grandparent: this has been rehashed a hundred times before--the MARKET dictates a standard, not a group of people that crowned themselves as the rulers of the standard. Think I'm lying? WS-R vs WS-RM, UMTS vs EDGE vs GPRS, etc? It's market driven. IE's implementation, though different, has a grossly disporportionate market share than all other competitors combined. Just look through server logs and see for yourself (not here at/. where the community is much more tech savvy and hence more apt to be running an alternative browser).

I think you meant SMS. However, to exploit this flaw requires an aweful lot of work. I would have to know which network you've been trying to connect to, then change my set up to be that. Then your settings in Windows would have to allow me to connect to you (no firewall, some other exploit that would take considerable time). People would have to be specifically targetted for this to work (minus the handful of people that have unrestricted access to their root shares and last connected to "linksys")
I don't know for sure which way you meant that to come out, but I'm reading the negative impact which is that negative is unfair. I'm a military member and take home $34k gross ($10,6k of which is a housing allowance). I feed, clothe, transport and house (+entertain and pay for 45 hours of child care a week) myself and three children. I do not use my tax refund for anything more than paying down large required debts (car maintenance [mostly], road trips to gramma's, etc). What I'm saying is with my meager income I provide, but need a little bit more to maintain. Are you going to give me a few grand at the beginning of each year, or should I get a piece of the taxe monies to offset what Congress feels is fair for me to make?
Like another poster put, the DoD is about the only place to get one done. I have TS (or more accurately an SCBI as a TS clearance doesn't exist) which took 3 years to complete, though I've seen as little as 5 months. From what I've heard, mine cost the AF about $200K to complete. But there are some caveats you must be aware of if you're considering being a consultant and dealing with security clearances: if you are an independant contractor you can use your security clearance after being certified with the DoD within the DoD, it has no value to anyone else other than it says you don't have any deep dark secrets that the government doesn't know about (which is open for debate) or connections with questionable people/organizations. if you are part of a firm, you can only do business with the DoD--if you do any with anyone else, the clearances are invalidated and you can no longer work for the DoD. that's why there aren't a ton of DoD contracting firms running around (relative to non-DoD firms).
Lets hope the Military is taking the forefront in this.
yes and no. the reported/recognized intrusions against the US military from the chinese is staggering. so the yes side is: unfortunately i cannot comment on specifics, but know that the DoD is (based on numbers) the most saught after information hold to our enemies (and allies). everything from flooding the networks with pings to try to map out our network topology to actually stealing sensitive information. the chinese have been doing this for some time, and was actually recently reported on in time magazine (which is why the DoD was forced to change its code name for the attacks). to talk to no: it's the top of the DoD running much of the agressor tactics with a small portion actually being done by the branches. who am i to comment on it? if you've been to a briefing at ustranscom recently then you'd know what i speak of.
Oh and they should also each have their own internet!
We do, it's called the SIPRNet. A complete network infrastructure that is physically isolated from the rest of the world on which each terminal has a two piece encryption system (box and removable hash key).
