On a well designed OS, the software has more granularity of permission than "can do everything include connect to random servers" and "can't install"
How does the OS determine whether you wanted to connect to a random server or not? Oh, an application specific firewall. One that cannot be altered by a program that has been given the same rights as was given the installer.
Then there are software vendors that require exactly the same installed service in order to phone home and confirm licensing. I'm looking at you SPSS.
I've been into some of China's small town Internet Cafe's and almost everyone was under 20 and gaming. I sure hope those games have been ported with proper language support or the cafe's will be hurting.
The article is pretty slim on how this is actually going to work. Do I assume that I make the phone call once and Lenovo will constantly try to connect with it until it is successful? If not, how many times do I call it until I cut off my data plan?
I would like to be able to turn this off in the future when attempting to sell the laptop as well.
Cool. We have flex hours which I use to spend on the balcony. We don't play foosball, but we do go out for drinks. We're in negotiations for salaries right now. I pretty much have free reign over what I do at work.
Seems like the anti-union scabs are out in full force today.
Let me give you a clue. It has nothing to do with what my job entails. It has everything to do with working conditions such as pay, benefits, job security, and safety.
No standards have been set. I do not need to have any certifications. You seem to only have a one track mind when it comes to unionization. Walmart employees can become unionized. It does not mean they need to be professional and certified cashiers.
I'm a union member and a Sys Admin in Canada. People belong to two different unions, CUPE and USWA.
Nobody has ever said what qualifications I need. The only time I've said I won't do a job is when it involves electrical in the building. Anything computer related goes.
My wage is in fact lower than the free market wage. What I do get is more job security.
I must remind everybody that there is a very different attitude towards unions in the US compared to Canada and Europe. The US has typically has lower union rates than both.
Wikipedia states that private sector unionization is the lowest since 1932 at 9%.
Whatever happened to selling the farm and moving in with kids?? My parents-in-law live don't have a pension or savings. They are going to have to sell their properties and either move in with us or my sister-in-law. This is just customary in their culture and used to be ours too.
Acquiring a license for anything in China is not time consuming... unless you consider the time it takes to make the money to pay the bribe time consuming??
I jaywalk constantly to and from work and quite frequently have to walk through stopped traffic. Can I really trust a robocar to not run me over?? Most of the time you make eye contact with the driver and they will let you through the small space between them and the car stopped in front.
Refer to Microsoft maps about this. This has always been an issue. You will not get the same maps on http://maps.live.com/ as you will on http://ditu.live.com./ Satellite imagery has been a problem as well with Chinese map sites. Check out http://www.ditu.net/ to see how they got around that.
Here is a brief explination: http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/12/live-maps-in-china-an-intervie.html Was the data allowed to leave China? What other restrictions were placed on the data and its use?
[vt] The map data is not allowed to leave the border. Some other countries also have the same regulations (Korea for example). In China, maps can only be provided by the licensed map data providers. Also the on-line publishing maps need to go through a âencryptionâ(TM) process whereby map coordinates are transformed to an unknown coordinate system (not in Lat/Long). This is mainly for the national security reason as far as I know.
logged into BlackBoard and Webmail from the same MAC & IP address as he allegedly downloaded pirated material.
I would love to know where and how you store all of the network information for your Public Access workstations. I would also like to know why your college has not setup secure login for Blackboard and Webmail. It seems like I could walk into your school with a laptop and WireShark, plug-in to a network port, after cloning one of your MAC addresses, and sniff out some real personal information.
You should also lock down the hardware and BIOS so others can't do the same with your equipment.

It would be utopia without all those horrible decisions.

Oversight is OK though right? He has nothing to hide.
If he stops the NSA from spying on domestics then I'll take back my comment.
I want to know what the litres per second are.
Something like this? http://www.noc.utoronto.ca/net-ops/performance/gatewayDetail.htm

It has already happened. I'm living it.

And IE would never have happ3ened without earlier versions of Mosaic!
Was the device that was looking for the change in inductance using power?
I think you are forgetting about the all important lobbyist. The large corporations use lobbyists to get the government to do half of the work.
A large portion of the US economy now rely on these laws being passed in foreign countries.
I would say Sony, EMI, and the US are at fault.
The reason I like ctrl+tab is that it only requires use of one hand. Ctrl+pgdn requires me to remove my hand from the mouse.

Exactly! If you have two identical drives, a simple nightly cron job or scheduled task that copies data from one drive to the other makes more sense.

I went to bed early last night. Sorry to let everybody down.
I would not want to be in a flying car when it decides to break down. Mid-air crashes might be fun though.
That sounds like a working form of communism.
