Watch your mouth mister; Google's not evil.
Stop.. wondering.. We'll make an offer u can't refuse. y00 are 0wned. Dissidents will be search-blocked and DDoSed.
well, it was good to see Google release the wine patches back to the community. atleast they are contributing some code back into the common pool (not to forget the summer of code initiative). anyhow, it's better than companies only seeping in code from the general pool.
hey, incidentally - is that wine release a snapshot from code-weaver's wine??
let me fire up my wget;)

I'd agree to that. It is just a way to pay and get certified. If you use winblows tools to make software on winblows software - then how can it NOT get the "designed for windows" certificate.
coming to that.. i see hardware - regular keyboards and serial port mice with a works with XP tag on it! that's a laugh!
the notion and idea is a really good one. i for one, however, am not sure if the existing WiFi standards can support such a large scale deployment.
for starters, the 802.11 standards do not have a large number of channel models for open-space deployment. each nw access point will be shared by a number of people - so for example, if 54 MBps has to be shared by each laptop @ 512 Kbps, you can theoritically have only 108 people. In a real world scenario, due to contentions and access clashes- this number usually drops down to ~50 people. Assuming a ratio of active users to total users as 1:10, each nw point would support 500 users. So essentially, you'd need to put a access point for every 500 individuals. That is a LOT of access points jam-packed together.
i'm not sure if the access points can even run at their maximum supported speeds at such high densities (there will be a lot of co-channel interference from nearby access points). effectively, the available bandwidth per person will jack down to nothing.
this is not a new phenomenon also - a lot of people have reported this problem in tech-conventions where there are such a large number of access points that nothing works.
even google is reportedly having trouble setting up a WiFi cover at mountainview!
to sum up - it looks like a good idea; but it requires a lot of work from the technological perspective.

privacy is an essential and fundament right. making every thing a person does, talks to, or thinks available for monitoring puts the person in an invisible straight-jacket. it leads to loss of freedom, creativity and self-esteem.
the law making bodies must realise that there is a thin line between protecting the people from harm, and jailing up the people to protect them from a perceived harm. what good is a security measure if it leads to a loss of a fundamental right? in a way, the "bad guys" have won; if the common folks have to undergo so much of surveillance. without even doing anything, they have succeeded in curbing human liberty and made the government spend billions in surveillance!
a software solution to track stolen computers is, IMHO, a very unreliable method. software can easily be broken, in today's scenario. a better method would be to sprinkle micro-scopic uniquely identifiable "dots" (with RFID) in/on the computer spares/parts. a central agency can keep track of lost/stolen hardware ID's and flag them whenever they're detected.
It's been quite some time since I used an AV @ home. I've switched to linux completely and have a NAT/firewall to protect my windoze laptop (firefox browser only). i hope that should take care of most issues.
the only time i do get into trouble with an AV software is Symantec's which is installed on my corporate LAN. it is a big nuisance; especially when it flags netcat (which i use as a tool for testing my network apps).
the question i'd like to ask the poster is that how has been his experience with mcaffe. why are you switching out of mcaffee?

Well, I know of one editor called kate; where I found this functionality pretty knifty. It's more or less a default with KDE. Visit http://kate.kde.org/ for more info.
well i used to have a college dean who actually banned vehicles on campus because people would have accidents. that is when i gave up all hope for humanity!
we were wondering when football would get banned because we knew of a lot more broken bones due to football than road accidents!
yes, that is one way. but then sun would effectively be giving away everything and just keeping the name.
you can't keep customers with just the "name", you know. why will the customer take it from Sun when they can take the same thing from somewhere else (ie. sun again, but with a different name, now) for free!
yes. that would be one way. but how many people actually do WANT to keep the name Java if they can get to do anything with it?
so effectively, to a customer, Sun would say.. take our product.. it's "called" Java. Why would he take that if he could get the same thing for free from somebody else by some other name?

maybe this'll teach them a thing or two about "vunerabilities" ;) after all, necessity is the mother of invention!

Here's my ten-cents. I'd like to go over to the other side please.

no, seriously it's a good laugh and i didn't mind the five minutes i spent reading the article.
but what's it doing on slashdot frontpage? i would probably have received in somebody's *geeky* forward ;)

In India, there is a company called Reliance that offers 144 Kbps (CDMA) itnernet access at Rs.1500 (~$30) per month. http://www.relianceinfo.com/Infocomm/rconnect_card .html and http://www.relianceinfo.com/Infocomm/Rim/rconnect_ tariffs.html. I've heard that their service is good and works practically all over India.
