I refuse to own a cell phone. But you raised some interesting points. With the smartcard technology being delivered for Visa and Mastercard, I can see where the dynamic nature of the chip to send an encrypted pin would be great.
However, what do we do for internet purchases, where there is no smartcard chip?
Any ideas?
Here in Quebec Canada we have renewable hydro electric power. We have so much surplus that we export it to the USA. Large data centers here have bargain rates. I am a home owner and I heat my building with electricity. I would think that the data centers here pay around 3cents per kwh.
My retail rate is 4.5cents per kwh to heat my three story home. Winters here hit -30C at night, and -20C during the day (Mid Jan to Mid Feb). That is, in rough conversion, around -35F to -20F. (The two ranges, F and C are equal at -40, which we have never reached that low).
They should build their data centers in Montreal Quebec, an hours drive from upstate USA.
Yahoo is international. I can't see how this concept fights SPAM. Unless all email in the world is "taxed".
The second situation is that many of us send a lot of emails which are not spam. The daily tax amounts will add up. Thus, we need income tax slips at the end of the year to indicate charitable deductions.
And residing here in Canada would mean that I would require Yahoo to prepare charitable deduction income tax slips for my province, and the provinces would have to have Yahoo register with each as an approved charitable organization. Furthermore, Yahoo's books would have to be open to government auditing too.
Laah dee daaah, another idea not well thought out.
If this kernel is as great as professed, then the compiler that was used to create it is likewise.
And it would be great to perhaps port this kernel to replace the linux kernel.
One way, I suppose, to make use of it in FOSS, is to use this kernel as the microcode that drives a Linux kernel surrounding it. I think of this architecture as the hub of a wheel, and the Linux kernel as the rim.
Just my rambling thoughts
A few small broadcasters will find a way to have one feed, but create their own aliases to the one URL. Each will be known by its own offering, but the output will originate from one URL.
Title says it all. I use avg, and it has not failed me. And I use another free version for linux. Both work great.
So Symantec is trying the FUD factor, as Microsoft does, to retain their market.
Too bad MS has dropped to 87% for desktops and is continuing to drop.
Horrah for the alternatives.
If I select a set of slashdot entries and click to open them, or request closing, to show the next one. I end up with page not found. Back button is non-operable.
What Gulliver did was travel to lands of giants, to lands of midgets and to lands of never ageing. An interesting read.
However, this situation is very intriguing. Will the child outlive her parents great grandchildren?
Can she live 200+ years?
Actually, the VP is right. And the problem is the architecture. 64bit AMD/Intel architecture is very adequate for the desktop, but not for servers.
Their microcode does not pipeline enough, and the dma needs to transfer 128bytes at a time, not just the 64bits at a time.
Also, need the disk system bios to really be a subsystem, part of a disk controller, not part of the main bios. Offload work where possible, or switch to Mainframe systems which give more bang for the buck.
You have a gasoline monopoly and you sell your gas at $5.00 per gallon. This allows you to live the luxurious life with swimming pool, 3 cars per home, etc.
Suddenly a competitor comes along with the same gasoline, only it is at $3.50 per gallon. What do you propose to do? Force them to sell at $5.00, or learn to give the consumer the break, and drop your costs to allow selling at the same consumer cost.
Will there be a law preventing you from installing and owning your own wind generator.
With the thousands of generators (windmills) facing one direction, would they provide sufficient resistance to air circulation to cause a change in the earths rotation?
I bet you yes, for the last statement.
Health care and highways are in the same category. If the government provides the latter, then they should provide the former.
And there are toll roads. And private health care plans.
Its your life and your health. Take care of it. In recessionary times, can you afford to go bankrupt because of health costs?
When I did code reviews, I first had to understand the problem being solved. Then, I did a walk through for a) function descriptions being documented, either by being apparent, or with explanation. I would verify that all return codes were being verified, and that an error return code was posted to a log, as well as being displayed.
The result of that practice was 1) programmer had one or two bug reports on his desk the first week, and half the amount in the second, and by the third week, the program was considered clean. Month end programs were expected to be clean after 3 or 4 uses.
yes, they are worth it.
You allow bicycles and motorcycles on public roads. So, why not this vehicle. Where do the two wheelers mentioned (or motorcycle with sidecar) have air bags, or protection from collisions.
Since doctors are skilled at memorizing, and not at diagnosis, there is a justification that only 5% to 10% can analyse a problem. That means actually, that only 5% to 10% of doctors are researchers, while the others are golfers.
Canada, a population 1/10th that of the USA, with a less developed telecom sector, has set up industries to download and counterfeit music CDs. We then create Canadian Spellings for the labels, adding in the extra letter u, where it was left out, and substitution the z and s back to where it belongs.
And the senator believes that electronic digital drums, and other instruments are of interest.
From what I see, teenagers buy their music from the web, and do not know or have the means to transfer it from one ipod to another.
We old farts still use vinyl 33 rpms, and full stereo orchestrial music. Not the big boom boom boom crap we here in the 3000 watt base speakers built-in to teenager cars.
No Senator, good music would result in sales of cds and dvds. Poor music results in no-sales.
There is no proof that between the time the computer was handed in, and the technician discovered the files, that the system was never out of his hands, and that one or other at his employment deposited the files therein.
The installer crashes on my system, and won't allow one to view the disk drives or select partitioning.
A dump of the anaconda install program is so locked up, I cannot save a dump for diagnosis. (No, I don't run vm)
The problem here is that patent examiners are taking the claims at face value, particularly if the source is Microsoft, or other Major Sofware house.
The "Software house people must know what they are doing".
Here comes the MAC and Linux, and SunOS and BSD, and to hell with Balmer.
He is fxxxing unpatriotic. The country is a vache à lait (milk cow). Just keep on tucking at the teet and fill your bucket with nice warm dollars, and don't bother feeding the cow, you are going to slaughter it anyhow.

Duh, did you not mean Intel? ARM and Microsoft are at right angles to each other.

Linux Notebooks and low end laptops have linux prefered (year 2007). What about today?
A few small broadcasters will find a way to have one feed, but create their own aliases to the one URL. Each will be known by its own offering, but the output will originate from one URL.
Give me a netbook, a personal netbook at that. That is where the Google OS will shine. Who shares their netbook?

And the judge forgot about the copyright holders. If you cannot visit their article, how could you purchase it.

Can we transition from mice to humans? Or was that done?
