yes indeed! why arent they running Websense(c) high security anti porno software! why, with Websense(c) we know our workers are 900% more productive than without Websense(c) which would be disastrous and result in the suicide of our CEO.
these super duper logs indicate some users are visiting naked porno anti productive sites up to three ho-jillion times a day and the visits most certainly are not due to mal-ware or viruses but naughty and unproductive anti-work workers.
yes, this article proves and guarantees perfectly that even lofty science foundations with their super scientists need the super productive hyper secure Websense(c) software to make sure that ultra-productivity(c) is maintained with the unwieldy internet voodoo that is piped into their business research place.
dont write apps for conglomerates that treat you like dog shit. with a lack of developers any project offering collaboration with a community will die a very swift death. Teach megacorps how to properly court and foster an open community of developers. make sure you blade on the sword always points the other way.
but a fool and his money are soon parted. I feel terrible for parents that are screwed into their childs addiction by this nickle and dime crap. cellular "family plans" started it in my opinion, and micropayments will be the death of it.
is there ever a tipping point? is there a point where the wendys hourly guy or the dominos pizza jockey sets the controller down, unclutches his preorder preorder receipt and says "not another god damned dollar"? is there a point where the average gamer even pops their head above the slowly boiling water and wonders what they could have done with the money? the time? if the upgrades and service are really even fun anymore or if the myriad of teenagers crying "pwned!" and "thats so gay" over teamspeak have crushed the life out of what used to be a pretty cool way to spend time with friends?
Disclaimer: i dont play games. I think theyre interesting and pretty, but on the whole i cant understand why people blindly piss money away into something that I believe, collaborative gaming that is, should fundamentally be free.
would gain any ground in the states, and for two reasons.
1. the average american has been boiled like a frog into accepting the illegality of downloading content that majority shareholders and major corporations deem "unsuitable." id hate to even think it, but it almost seems as though we just dont care about or rights and freedoms as long as we're marketed a product that appears to cater to our wants reglardless of our rights (ipod and zune for example)
2. most americans and lawmakers especially would have a terrible time not associating the pirate party with somali pirates, if not at least subconsciously. This would need to be retooled to have a prettier name at very least.
finally for extra credit, americans have trouble with things like sex and sexuality, so if there were an initiative as pervasive as AU to censor our tubes, its hard to think there would be much if any resistance to it simply based on our culture. Just my theory.
parties and gatherings centric to their releases is because they dont command the majority of computers with an iron fist of monopoly...there is a certain sense of community behind them. The interface, design of the machine, the applications and everything down to the way the laptops charge is about art, form, and function. Point: the parties happen because people want to have them, not because theyre told to.
you cant just release a few youtube videos and demand exuberance from the audience. There is no "push" model to enjoying a product, and for microsoft to take the same jackboot approach to marketing that theyve taken to vendor lock-in of their product is just asinine and annoying.
without these numerically-backed conslusory points, id be forced to attempt to justify budgeting and purchases to the PHB using the potential usefulness and benefit of a service to its userbase. giving an old man a line-graph and pie chart with made up numbers means he doesnt need to know anything more than red is bad, green is good.
but i cant shake the feeling alot of what microsoft does in the realm of "research" operating systems is in some font a duplication of work done by other operating systems...
virtually every *nix and BSD variant currently supports multicore functionality quite well, and if a program is compiled properly and written properly it can benefit from multicore architectures through these OS's. for microsoft to "research and develop" applications of technology theyve historically restricted and taxed in their own operating systems is perplexing. regardless of advances, im willing to continue associating redmond with price gouging cores.
fictitious "homer" car from the simpsons. if you're too stupid to transition from the tactile meat world to a more abstract concept based environment like the internet, dont worry! we've included three extra touch screens for you to poke and rub like a caveman at the pretty pictures you can only begin to comprehend directly through interaction!
feel free to eventually accost your IT guys with this laptop, and brag about its advanced capabilities compared to their single screen dinosaurs. After all, more screens means more smarter and productive.
from Command and Conquer? Russia needs this "dead hand" technology in case the US launches chrono-troopers against key structures (like tiberium refineries) in Russia. Dead Hand exists to make sure the US only uses its weather control technology in defense.
bloat was ever inevitable, if anything it shows linux is fostering a vibrant development community. the thing that separates us from the MS bloat is that we can do something about ours quickly and easily. not all kernel hackers are master coders, so id speculate there is quite a bit of shoddy code (no offense) that can be streamlined by new members, or improved by the originals.
in america, and the recipe copyrights as is evidenced by kernel sanders and his infamous C&D orders against imitators are enforced. look in the drinks book at any applebees bar, youll see copyrights. bonefish copyrights all their sauce recipes and mcdonalds copyrights their secret sauce recipe.
in this case. it seems in my experience more and more that most companies do not care how long the outage is or what caused it, or how poorly the service performs so long as the price is rock bottom and they avoid the IT department asking for more cash each year.
this is a self correcting problem as more industries move into a greater reliance on computers. you cant just make IT another blindly outsourced number at the end of the day, and the decision cant come from a group of boardmembers who think gmail is a typo.
a few slogans we could tag this one with:
COBOL: yeah but the frontend is java.
COBOL: and so the AS400 is in the inventory once again.
COBOL: break it and we're fscked.
COBOL:...so i CAN use goto?
why these countries have leaders that vehemently insist they have the best hackers and the best computer cultured cyberpunks in the known world, however actively block collaboration tools and sites that are used by practically all of them.
im not sure the censorship is a huge deal, or not as huge as im being led to believe..i think its a self correcting problem. have internet, or restrict it, you will reap the consequences either way. If your iranian computer wizards hate your censorship enough, they will leave. If you censor your internet enough, you'll find your relevance and influence on the network as a whole to be rather paltry. Censored internet is a countries most apparent resignation to continue living in the stone age, pounding the drum to dictatorial policy that will never be considered compatible with the information age.
shovel more cash into the war machine to create technology for more war.
there must be a better potential use for this than body armor. truck tires to improve efficiency, insulation to lower heating costs, for those non peacemongers perhaps a non-invasive material to detect chemical, radiological, and metal objects yet can be woven into airport seating, who knows. im just sick of seeing this good tech go to more war.

Worthless if RAID overhead keeps increasing...although i wonder if holo-storage raid overhead is more or less than conventional?
