And many people, after Katrina went down and Volunteered to help. People all over the country donated. Business and people alike. I know lots of people that spent lots of time down there from all over the country.
First:
"Sometimes I wonder whether Ubuntu is really an open source software company any moreâ Why say that if you know Ubuntu ISNâT a company!!!
Second:
The whole POINT is that the company is separate from the software. HELLO!!! The company is there to allow the software to actually be taken seriously by intervals and business alike that want to use the software to get shit done. Like has been mentioned SUPPORT!!
With out Red Hat and now Canonical Linux would still just be used by enthusiast and people with to much time on their hands. Granted I am one of these people, as I grow older I just want shit to work and I want to have support to know what to do instead of beating my head against the wall on some undocumented free software.
Because of the support Red Hat and Ubuntu are used world wide in large organizations and that fuels more use and better software. Than in the end the little people get to use for free as well. But wait.. there are now better docs too! OMG what a great system.
I know Garmin uses both Red Hat and Ubuntu internally, now tell me they would be without support.
Did they use their cell phones to call the Mayor? Maybe even a txt message? Do they use microwaves? Lets not forget about ohh.. Like, you know, solar radiation, solar flares, constant AM and FM bombardment, ohh do they stop every time they get checked by radar to complain that there might be a health hazard?!?!?!?!?!
If you ask me they are smookin up the Mayor as well. Bet one these cooks is his hook so can't mess THAT up can we.. OMG. Well yes THANK god they didnt get access. Just like someone said we are all better off without these crazies online... That was close
Can I have a halaluiah?
*FTP might be incrementally more efficient, but the ease of HTTP overrides it.
If only that part could get through than we be cooking with fire.
Stop projecting your issues on others. No one made you read my posting. Have you ever used tcpdump and wireshark? Or and application like that. Are you aware of what an exploit is? Do you understand what "clear txt" means? Just wondering because arrogance is not a healthy personality trait. Good luck with that.
And besides, condoms are only what 90 some odd percent effective. So even than you still might have been in the situation where you choose to read my posting on this site. Sorry to burst your bubble.
I was not referring to FTP used in that situation. Read only FTP has it's place.
FTP is BAD! About DAMN time THAT makes press

Clear TXT PASSWD = BAD
Might as well bend over.
I've made my hosting customers use SFTP/SCP for YEARS. Been very happy I have.
Just like POP3 one day.. IF we are lucky people will stop using it. It's like sending your tax return to the IRS in a clear envelope with your name birth date and SS # showing. Just plan STUPID!
Now if the ships have vsat or some new super fast wireless/sat system to be able to operate even if all land lines where cut. That could be cool. To bad laser links are not farther along.
Will their be a casino on board? Nothings better than a casino on a boat? What about belly dancers? I have some fond memories being on a ship with belly dancers.
3G?? Can we narrow that down a little bit? Edge like AT&T, EVDO? What do you add this software upgrade to and than blamo its the shit? Seriously, I'd like to read about it.
The investment necessary from both back haul and site build out point of view for any system, weather you call it 3G, 4G or myInetOvaDeAir it really doesn't matter. 17Mb, sounds sweet, but if every US household had one the back haul network alone would be upwards of 10 Billion or more. Not happening in a country as large as the US any time soon.
Small area's like Sweden have an advantage when it comes to stuff like this, just like South Korea with their impressive broadband penetration. You could build 54Mb Wifi in all of these countries easier than 3Mb everywhere in the US, or Russia or any large country.
But that's not happening. And the telcos could soar if they could figure out the capitalization needed to sell bammos. But they're still stuck in a 1950's mindset
So true. That is where I think Sprint is the best, not great but better than ATT... wait Sprint wasn't around in the 50's. Well not really anyway.:)
And your point about back haul. The largest actual issue for sure. This is huge and I know non of the providers are even close to being ready from this standpoint. The investment needed for that, were talking 100Mb to every cell tower to really get started. Than the back haul from distro sites on up. I know most of the special access networks are coper and 90% owned by ATT and Verizon.. so... Get the ditch witch out.. start laying fiber to every cell tower.. than get ready to buy a lot of DWDM gear..
Mmmmmm. One carrier. One that can't straighten their billing systems out.
You talking about AT&T?? UPSing There iPhone invoices? But that would be a section with them I do not like either. I also wouldn't have wanted to merge Nextel and Sprint. yuk.
Firsts are significant, but when you can't turn that into marketshare because your customers hate you, then it's only for the history/record books.
This is true, true, true. Only time will tell on that one.
Ask your local Sprint store-- when can I get a waykewl WiMax/3G phone? After they say the phrase, "huh?"
This is the normal response from every customer service rep from all the carriers from my experiance if you as them anything besides what they have been told to say.. Now unless the person helping you is a high school or college student nerd that working there for the discount. Always try to find them when your going to a telco store!!!
I hear you on the handsets. However I see WiMax and handset no so intertied. Motorola got a WiMax/WiFi/Wired Enet router already and intigration info laptops and other devices is where the additional bandwidth over EVDO is going to come into play in my mind. So the handset issue is only one part of true wireless broadband, its supposed to be bigger than that. Will it be?? You have some valid points, now we wait and see.
Personally I keep wondering when humans will find something better than RF as a whole. We didn't know jack about RF not to long ago. That is when it will really get interesting. But maybe my daughter will get to see that..
The three cities was more of an example that it is closer than you think than something to jump up and down about. Well unless thats how you get a good signal. Anyway..:)
Nationwide by maybe, Sprint?? Their whole program is in question.
Where you hear that? The media? I question That statement. Anything can happen I give you that. However I'd dismiss those noises at this point. I think it's a lot more than a marketing mans hope. It's definitley that! But what any technology that does preform like WiMax should will be something may will benifit from. Sprint may be #3 but they have been succesfull when it comes to data. They where the first with full PCS, first with Photo Mail first with 3G. So I wish them luck, and if it fails, than Verizon or ATT will learn from the mistakes and well get something one time or another.
And as far as paying for it.. Of course.. There is no such thing as a free lunch.. or internet in this case.
So a 3G/Wimax chip's not going to do much good for a few years, where a WiFi/3G chip makes sense, except fo the horrid security in WiFi.
Few Years???? Thats simpley wrong, WiMax will be in production in Three major cities in 3-4 months. Than rolling out nation wide by the end of 2008. Also when we say 3G we really should seperate out Edge and EVDO. Edge is slow, everyone agrees. EVDO is already kicking EDGE a new one. WiMax is makes EVDO look like leftovers. 3 Mb in my car, in starbucks(WITH OUT PAYING THERE RAPING WIFI RATES) or where ever you may be in any populated area of consiquence. By the end of 2008. I know Ill have it as soon as it's available in my area.
When IBM sold the ThinkPad and ThinkCenter lines to Lenovo a group of 30 or so engineers in move over and are now Lenovo employees. Do you really think IBM would sell their name to a company that wouldnt keep on innovating? Lenovo was smart enough to buy these lines from IBM, they are now, what number 3 or 4 as far as PC sales in the world, and not keep the ball rolling. I think the answer is no. For one reason. To much money to be made. Just got keep making it a little bit better. Name reconition etc etc is alteady there. Also I have personally bought two Lenovo workstations and one IBM ThinkCenter M55p over the last six months. Great machines. The ThinkCenter is the quitist desktop I have ever owned and I got a pile, well a whole storage room with many piles..:)
Sprint Nextel provides the VOIP dial tone for a large part of the digital phone services provided by Time Warner, Comcast etc.
Also Makes you wonder. I didn't read the patents, nor the case information. But what about Packet8.net. I have been using them as my VOIP provider for 6 years. They are national with all in one phones built for them from Uniden. Why are they not getting sued if it is broad issues within the patents? Just wondering.
The gain is in the unknown things that could have other applications. Here is a small subset of technologies that have come from NASA develpment and research. These are worth Billions.

I mean the list goes ON AND ON the truth is NO ONE knows that the return on investment would be. I sure wish I could be the one investing Im sure I'd get my money back.
You where alright.. till you had that gibberish about Apple there at the end. Apple help, Apple store over charging people, Apple who doesnt release in depth knowledgebase data to you unless your a VAR. I swear Apples have some submilinal message built in. So many people are so fooled. Yes FOOLED.
.....and the company is now beating Gateway in sales.....
I just can't believe it. How could it be? A company that just recently moved to commodity hardware and spends all its money on marketing would be overtaking that forgot about PC maker from the mid-late 90's, kinda road that second wave left in Dell's wake. One that never successful with really anything after their hay day. Gateway Servers Anyone? They shipped me, and I am not kidding, 3 in a row to demo back in 2000. All 3 DOA.
Well Apple I'm happy for you. Your better than the left overs.

But it's a good heat light with special flavor power.. I know sometimes that burger that been sitting there under the heat light really hits the spot... I want one now.. Damn everything is made to order at the cafeteria here! AHHHHHHH!!!!
Well, yes, yes and what. Now havent been in the airline business for a few years but there was one network I ran into that had over 2000 seats sitting on a flat network. Now one would hope that LAX in general is not like that. I do not know if how LAX's network is setup. However the government agenecy does have a higher likleyhood to be running in the dark ages. A flacky network card sending out bad packets I have seen. I have seen it cause all sorts of problems. But for it to do the damage it did. Never should have happened. On top of that the response time to find out what the problem was. Sounds like poor network design and yes chimps and idiots. Or it is always possable that there is talent just no money. Sorry for them if that is the case.

One way Scientology recruits is drug rehabs. It seeks out those in our socity that have problems. Uses some basic logical methods that work weather you are religous, not or crazy scientolgist. They then use that to push there made up stories on these people. Their practices in the rehab are even considered dangerous by the medical community. Since they are staying off drugs this whole time a lot of people buy it and then to make it worse they give them extreamly low paying jobs working for them recruiting more! They don't tell them the really how crazy stories until they are hooked. You don't find out about Xenu(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu) until you have donated majors amounts of cash, some of it going to shock treatment to cleans you! Check out the thing they hook up to you. Its on this page! These people are money grubbing horrible people. They have even built a nuclear hardened facility where they keep there writings. No Joke. If you ever meet one. Ask them how Xenu is doing today. They get pissed. If they are even high enough to know what your talking about. You know the guy that took all these souls and put them in a volcano with nukes.. Yeah that guy.. Whats up with him?
