Yeah I didn't think about that point. Quite possible their portfolio is where to good stuff is, and their products are just poor implementations of them.
Kudos to you sir.
Yeah we use it to. And in the past year we've had 2 instances I can think of where McaFee updates blue screened Exchange servers.
Good luck make sure you test all updates before rolling them out.
I can see it now 10 years from now, just like Lycos,
"McaFee purchased for $7.7 billion in 2010, sold for $200 million in 2015 has just been sold again today for $34 million to some company in Vietnam."
Seriously, has anyone personal or enterprise had good experiences with their products?
It's not about having unlimited bandwith. It's about getting the data downloaded and rendered as quickly as possible.
Why add in extra markup when 3G speeds aren't exactly speedy and mobile devices aren't rendering pages THAT fast yet?
Saw this in an article on Plan 9 and it pretty much applies to the Zune.
There is a lesson here for ambitious system architects: the most dangerous enemy of a better solution is an existing codebase that is just good enough.
Except the iPod and iTunes are more than 'just good enough' they're really good for most people
Always wondered why MS doesn't just come to slashdot for help. We could save them a lot of wasted time and money:)
SDTV broadcasts aren't ending, analog broadcasts are. Your SDTV will do just fine with either a cable box or a converter.
Unless you have a broken SDTV set why would you go out and buy a new LCD and then a $400 blu-ray player that looks no different than a DVD, if you are an average American family in this day and age of rising unemployment, inflation, and stagnant wages?
Not for nothing but take that book with a huge grain of salt.
It's great for opening up your thinking to some things you might not really think about on a daily basis, but if you dig into some of the people he mentions you'll find nothing more than cheap tricks.
Castaneda, Sai Baba, couple of others.
I was hoping for some good scientific reasoning but got mostly "This could fit in the holographic model, so could this, and maybe this".
If your servers are running on Ubuntu use that. Just use whatever most closely matches your production environment. One less potential source of problems.
Then share out your needed directories from the virtual machine via samba, edit up your hosts file, and away you go.
I love this, both Democrats and Republicans complain about the mainstream media in the exact same idiotic way.
It's hilarious, you talk to a Democrat, "Mainstream Media is giving a free walk to the Republicans."
Talk to a Republican, "That damn liberal media is making mountains out of mole hills, they willfully ignore the fact that so-and-so Democrat is doing something bad."
Wonder if it's always been this way throughout history.
All these moves to charge per usage is going to blow up in their face.
They're worried this kind of usage will eat into their own TV viewership. What better way to prevent that from happening than by charging those who use it.
What will end up happening is customers will get in a tizzy and without suitable alternatives lawsuits will fly.
In the end either they'll have to abandon these plans or competition will be forced into the market.
How are you going to handle the failover to Houston? Round-robin DNS? Or just very low TTL on the root nameservers so if something goes wrong you can update the nameservers and have them point elsewhere?
Oh and that reminds me, make sure your nameservers are spaced out as well. Learned that one the hard way.
True, I could've sworn I remembered reading an interview with the CEO of PA about how they were caught off-guard when Apple announced the Intel partnership.
Should be google-able. Then again I could be mistaken. Getting up there in years. Just look at our UID #'s:)
Well doesn't the fact that Apple was going to use PA in their new line just before going to Intel an indication that there's more than just one low-power chip?
Granted Apple might have just been using PA to leverage against Intel, but if the guy's at PA thought for sure Apple was going to pick them for the desktop they must have a fairly competitive product in the pipeline.

Same age here. No real desire, but some sort of lingering commitment to gaming.
It's hard to let it go. Tetris on the DS is the only game I'll play consistently.

That's not even the main problem.
HDTVs are expensive. Without an HDTV, which most Americans don't have, why buy blu-ray.
Add the fact that there's no clear advantage to blu-ray as there was with DVD over VHS and you suddenly made the hill to adoption very steep.
Imagine if Sony hadn't bundled a blu-ray player with the PS3. How many blu-ray players would people have picked up?
It's fine on the web. Wait till you hear someone use that in a real conversation. And not just in a geek group setting.

And this has been the same story for how many years now?
What difference does the power drain of the chipset make if it still gives you 7 hours battery time?
Sure, a lower wattage chipset would give you more, but what exactly is there to worry about?
Man are you ever a sucker.
I guess the litany of success since Windows 95 and the massive profits being reaped, the dividend MSFT now pays, all are worthless right?
Enjoy your bitter old age. Old man.

Console appeal is the same reason you do not want a separate computer.
Ease of use. I don't want to have to tinker and download drivers now that I'm Old(tm).
I've got 30minutes to chill and play a game, just work for fucks sake.
Excellent post. Mod up please.
Add to that the fact that all those burn-out careers also have 24/7 availability and that adds to the problem.
A sales guy isn't getting a call at 2 AM about some deal.
Has the original poster taken any vacation at all? If he's in the USA chances are he takes hardly any.
Came here to make the same query. Is there some complexity we're over looking?
True, I could've sworn I remembered reading an interview with the CEO of PA about how they were caught off-guard when Apple announced the Intel partnership.

Or how about if Sony makes the service run over a P2P client on the PS3.
Sounds like an interesting fight to me!

Um, so did you call the number and sit through the 4 minutes of "yes, no, yes" to get the activation number?
Haha that's classic. I was actually making a joke reference to the movie PCU.
