I used to be an APL guru, programming in VSAPL, APLSV' and some other APL versions. APL is super fast development for many problem solving issues.
It could have a rebirth if we could extend ASCII,.
My experience with Lawyers from all but the last generation is that lawyers don't know a keyboard from a watermelon. They have secretaries who do all the correspondance, print out the emails, manage responses, etc.
These lawyers are the lobbyists, or advisors to senior management. In the business way they are intelligent (so they think).
The CRTC decision does not look at the consumer, it looks at business. If you had a business and you had to give away your products to any competitor, how would you react?
On the other hand, as a monopoly (or oligopoly), they have an obligation to provide the services that allowed the competition to enter the market. Even so, the competition should have some access to the internet that bypasses the oligopolies. I wish the government would do to the Internet what they do for interprovincial (interstate) highways. It is a requirement for trade. Bell should only be compensated for true costs. Those costs are only valid when resources are consumed at peak periods.
My algorithm would be something that says, when network utilisation of traffic reaches 60% saturation, we begin to charge extra. If the traffic is at 60% due to competition, then charge, and if the traffic is at 60% repeatedly for long periods of time, upgrade your services.
Just a thought about fairness.
Actually, I would like to see all websites establishing SSL connections with their observers. That action should block trolling, reduce spam attacks, and put an end to googles business of filtering everything that their crawler sees on the web that is recordable.
Who would carry 200 lbs (about 80 kilos) and jog at 10mph, (16km/hr). The knees and lungs would surely not endure any more that 30 seconds of that before fatigue or knee damage occurs.
I am lead to believe that some netbook certificates are stored in the eprom of the mother board. If the netbook is stolen, one notifies the vendor, and he blacklists the device. On every boot, the device checks the blacklist file, and if it is on it, the bios will not boot. It requires a factory reset that is not available to the netbook owner.
So I am told. Is it true? I don't own a Netbook.
Who says Obama is passing it off. The ACTA people would like that, but Obama is one of the smartest (intelligent) leaders the USA has had in a long time. He is also Mr Nice Guy, where he should be Mr toughie. He is trying to ensure that you Americans have a future. And the real pity is that it takes time to make changes from one of the largest boats in the world.
And as a second thought, he wont approve the ACTA accord. Read my keystrokes.
Ubuntu is in Africa, where the licensing for video and audio codecs is non-existent. Ergo, UBUNTU can provide all of that for free, particularly since you have to go off shore to get these linux add-ons.
Acer probably included these codecs in their linux version and therefore owe MS their licence fees for same.
That is my conjecture.
Hatred for Linux has no boundaries. Just rest assured that Microsoft is climbing to the bottom of the hill. Two years ago they were at the top.
Linux for non-american governments is going strong. So is the alternative to the heavy and slow functioning Office programs, even though they are of good quality.
The best solution is the virtual system, with all software originating on the web. A pay as you go type of deal (Sounds like GOOGLE aps)
These are the people who live in the land, need the cold to allow their hunting for meat and poultry, and cultivate in the short 24hr/daylight in the summer. Surely the land belongs to them. I guess now is the time for them to stake claims, or be treated the way North Americans treated their native indians in the last and current centuries.
The flowers that are close by have a stronger perfume. Ergo, bees can outwit the computerized travelling salesman problem.
Bees do have noses, don't they?
There are a great many opportunites for a MEEGO then you imagine, from Netbooks to embedded systems with small footprints that are QT and linux based.
The Android is but one alternative, and that does not disqualify MEEGO for the purposes it is intended (MS alternative)
I have the problem copying from one physical drive to another, as with a mounted (external) drive such as eSATA and the local SATA based ext4 stuff versus a fstab mounted SATA drive. Large file copies just suck. Copying is fast for the first 200-300k and then I wait.
One needs to put the GUI interface at a higher priority to the priority assigned to copying disk files. I tried to change things using the nice command, but that did not bear any noticable results. I presume too, that copying to a network connection (socket) may also need some reviewing as it will suck.
Test with/dev/null. Should it will yield some interesting results? If it is OK with/dev/null, then something is wrong with allocating blocks for the target file.
When India's Ghandi was in power, he said, where go the people, there go I, for I am their leader.
With Harper, it's you elected me to lead and as I have the drum, so you follow me, even if I am wrong.
The problem with mis-leading now, is that the consequences in a few years time will be felt by the next two generations. (A good example, is to examine what is coming to the surface after the Bush regime has left office).
In Canada, we put a tax on blank CDs and DVDs, to skim off some of the "illegal" copying. Almost no-one today uses a CD, and from the web, if anything is being downloaded, it goes from hard-disk to your music player or remains on the hard drive.
So, we do not see the government rescinding the tax ever, it becomes another milk cow.
It seems that the strong lobbyists are learning the limits of common sense. Canada's legislature is being hit by thousands of signatures asking / demanding that Canada not pursue the ACTA requirements, and that the status quo is already too demanding.
We do write-ins to provide sensible feedback to our law and policy makers. The Canadian government was shown to be an Axx licker to whatever the USA did in the areas of copyright, freedom of expression, patents, etc. Our prime-minister is a conceited individual who listens only to American Ideas even if they are different from his own.
His leadership has polaraized this great country. Can't wait for him to be replaced.
Not all of the US operates that way. The state of Louisiana uses napoleonic law. It's probably the only sensible thing about our state.
Wasn't Louisiana (named after France's king), a French colony? Is is probably more sensible than the other USA state laws.
Suppose I like a song that I heard on the radio. Later at a convenient time, I go to the internet and I download it. I download it, but did not play it, or listen to the copy I downloaded. Did I actually still someones music?
One could argue that I go into a store and steal a CD, and even though I did not listen to the music, I stole something physical.
But in the former case, is there something physical that I stole. (Remember, there may be an intent to listen to the music, but have not as yet done so).
Is the act of copying a crime? If so, what is the act of pushing data to a target PC?
This is confusing to me for my 70 year old brain.
One needs both, as an answer to your question. If I travel to a coffee shop, with open connections to the net, what protection does my PC need to have?
Isn't it a fact that car dealers charge for prep-charges and for whatever else they can get away with? So why should Intel not do it. They are already the most expensive vendor of computers on the market.
I can see Intels action as opening the door to competition, and I hope the competition does gear up for it.
Here is a saying for companies that gouge.
You can always find better, but you can't pay more.
Think about your last car purchase from a dealer and keep on smiling. The next step is to rent you the right to consume computer cycles. Greed hath no limits.
The previous author's conjecture is wrong. The actual origin of the worm was Siemans itself, and it was developed by organisations wanting to bring other countries such as the USA to it's knees, or even to cause self destruction of electrical grids, manufacturing systems etc.
Siemans was reporting it's own product.
My conjecture is to show that if he author does not have proof of his recommendation, he is immature and should just not express unsubstantiated opinions.
By the way, my conjecture is as false as his.

Somewhere I believe that the microseconds are really 1000 times to fast. Should not the measurement be milliseconds or just over 1/10th second.

Therefore I am at least 10 years away from dementia, which is freemdom fromr worrying about life or health or taxes or burial plots.

With blocking Google TV, the advertisers lose out. Hey Google, tackle the advertisers (cars, liquor, tourism) and see how long the boycott will last.

It is not which is better, it is which one is in and has gained the market. The market winner will have the majority of software developed for it.
