Re:who invented the BSOD ..ATMs used to run OS/2 most of the time. Those were the days...I remember after Hurricane Wilma, an ATM down the street came back up before my block did, but it was displaying an error message: http://dognoodle99.cjb.net/bsod/atm.jpg
The pic came out blurry, but the text was:
Windows cannot start because the following file is missing or corrupted:
c:\windows\system32\hal.dll
Please re-install a vaild copy of this file.
No idea why a power outage would cause hal.dll to disappear, but then again...Windows for ATMs? -

Re:because it doesn't
If you're worried about that, choose UFS instead of HFS+ when initially installing the OS. UFS is readable by a lot of BSD and Linux boxes.
The module (hfsplus) probably comes with most current distributions (modprobe hfsplus) if you're running a 2.6 kernel. Should be fine for reading the disk at least.
There's also a free solution for Windows as well.

Re:deep freeze
Deep freeze is obselete! Unfreezer defeats even the more recent verions: http://unfreezer.cjb.net/

Re:deep freeze
Deep Freeze is a piece of crap. A simple Google search brings up Deep Unfreezer, which removes the protection from even the newest version of Deep Freeze.
Their idea of protection is to use a VXD and to encrypt their executable with ASPack. Even most rootkits do a better job at protection.
The latest version of Deep Freezer supposedly blocked Deep Unfreezer. The workaround is to RENAME THE EXECUTABLE. Yes, they blocked it by looking at the name of the executable. It's scary that such retards are developing security software and selling millions of copies. -

Sorta innovative softwareI don't know about innovative, but here's some worthwhile Windows-only (AFAIK) software:
- mIRC - the best IRC client, although this isn't necessarily saying much. The (unlicensed) Excursion variant of it adds some good features.
- AutoGK - great free software for making DVD-rips in DivX or XviD.
- Daemon Tools - CD/DVD-ROM emulator/image mounter with anti-DRM features.
- Real Alternative/Media Player Classic - like many other suggestions here, this one corrects a problem with Windows, namely the super-heavy, overcomplicated new Windows Media Player. This one has a classic look and support for Real media files, thus also solving the problem of the even worse Realplayer.
- Nero Burning ROM - like Toast only it doesn't make that stupid toaster sound.
- The GodFather - audio file manager/tagger with support for retrieving tags and cover images from a number of online databases.

** THIS IS NOT BULLSHIT! ** I just received my PSP today via UPS totally free by typing words on some site. I thought it was BS at first but man was i suprised when the UPS guy showed up at my door with a frikkin PSP. Just for typing 50 words. Before you flame me and call me a d*ck just remember I was totally suprised I got my PSP and jsut wanted to share the love with you all. Free for typing some words is way better than paying a lot of money. Here is the link for anyone interested: http://psp-4-free.cjb.net/ [cjb.net] I hope you all are enjoying your PSP as much as I am. Peace and love.
The link led to a reasonably well designed page which was scraping captchas from blackplanet, images direct from Sony and getting retards to bust 50 captchas in the hope of getting a their free PSP.

Re:USB Keys?Well, this is actually what I've been doing for a while now. I have a small program called passpack which encrypts all the passwords to one file unlockable via a master password. Also, it has a screen hiding capability so that if someone creeps up behind you you can simply press F8 and its gone. If you want to go the open source direction you can use such applications as Password Safe. Both can be deployed on the network by having a centrally updated file on the internal network
There is also the matter of physical security here with the usb key. Somebody can nab them off you (Remember how the post-production guys of LOTR transported the movie to the editing studio in digital form on several ipods and almost got mugged on the way there!) Having it attachted to you via a string or something might be useful. Even make it a usb watch and just carry a extension cord around. With usb keys you can frequently forget them, or at least I sometimes do.

As a Linux developer myself, I'm rather pleased to hear that my suspicions have been confirmed. All the features that Vista's offering are already available in Linux (along with a great deal more), and besides that, the system requirements are definitely insane. If you still haven't heard of just how many systems Linux runs on, I just installed the latest version of my distribution on a Pentium-166 machine with 32MB RAM and a 2.5GB disk. All security updates as well. And it runs beautifully, even better than a Celeron-1.8G with 384MB RAM and Windows XP, if you can believe it.
Anyway, despite what some people insist Linux is slowly moving onto pre-installed systems. Emperor Linux sells laptops pre-configured with just about all the major distros, and there are companies (and even individuals like me) selling pre-loaded Linux desktops. And I'm pretty sure that others will eventually catch on.
I'll be honest, though, the project I'm really hoping to see succeed is ReactOS. Linux is a good system – and I'm definitely a loyal user / developer who's not likely to quit using Linux any time soon – but I think that for users more used to Micro$oft's system, ReactOS would probably be a better solution. Plus it's got a cool logo.

So... what are you saying then?
I've worked with Windows and Linux, and a little bit with Mac OS. Personally I feel that Linux is really the best system to use; Windows takes forever to get the base system up and running, whereas my Linux distro I just stick in the CD, install, and in about five minutes (literally) it's all ready to use. Mac OS X is only nice because Apple does control both hardware and software; I think that the only system designed for anything other than what its creators use is Linux.
In short: Windows sucks. OS X sucks. Linux kicks ass.

Putting the "B.S." in "OpenBSD"...
Everything that article says is pure bullshit.
First of all, I am a Linux hacker, I actually maintain my own distribution, so may as well get that disclaimer out of the way.
Now to the point.
The whole time I've been using Linux I have never said anything about any BSD system. Ever. I've made plenty of comments about Windows, and even other Linux distributions (Mandriva,
...) but nothing about FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc. None of them. (Of course, my own distribution is perfect, it's just all the others I have problems with ;-)So who gave this guy the right to attack a bunch of guys who put in a lot of hard work and often for nothing in exchange?
Also, I don't think they should complain about comments in code. I often put even stranger things in stuff I write and nobody complains.
So basically, to summarize...
- There is nothing wrong with BSD. Of course, I haven't used it so can't really comment too much, but so far the only problem is the personality of one of its maintainers.
- There is nothing wrong with (most) Linuxes. Some exceptions apply though. Most have no problems however.
- There is plenty wrong with Windows. I won't go into detail.
- Mr. De Raadt really needs to stop flaming us just because our operating system is more popular and most likely better for various reasons, a good many of which involve nothing but mere chance.
No wonder it's spelled "B.S.-D".

Re:There's no magic way to learn a language
On the language side, I would agree remembering more vocab from contextual and cultural examples makes things much easier and useful. On the computer side, to go a bit more on-topic, I wrote a short conclusion about computer aides in Japanese language learning covering automatic dictionaries to handheld computing here:
http://diamonds.cjb.net/other/japanese/computerlea rning.php
In particular, the freeware program Wakan http://wakan.manga.cz/ will auto-generate furigana over the top of words and edict English translations at the bottom, so you can read a text without external references or mouse-overs. Neatest program I have used for language learning.

Another way to do "phone home" style security
If all you're looking for is a way to keep tabs on a machine's IP#, there's a very simple way of doing it that comes w/ some other benefits as well:
use a dynamic DNS service.
Like http://www.cjb.net/ and http://www.dyndns.com/
You go to their site, create a DNS entry for your machine with your current IP#.
Then you make a small script to connect to those sites and update that IP# and set that script to run at startup.
The result is if your machine is on DHCP or moves around a lot (or gets stolen), you'll know its current IP# (or at least it's most recent IP#).

Re:A bit about some of new stuffI don't know that your assumptions are correct here. The ARC-170 Fighter does look somewhat like an X-Wing (T-65). The Z-95 Headhunter definitely evolves into the T-65.
"The Z-95 has changed throughout the years, eventually evolving into the T-65 Incom X-wing starfighter."
But that doesn't mean that there weren't similar vehicles being developed by Incom during the Clone Wars. The ARC-170 isn't a one man fighter, like the Z-95 and the T-65, it's a three man fighter. There is an eighteen year gap between ROTS (Ep3) and ANH (Ep4) and that a lot can happen in that time frame. The X-Wings are considered to be outdated by the time of ANH.
It seems like you're jumping to conclusions. -

Free software for Windows?
Easy solution: ZipSlack.
No spyware, no ads, no bloat, no speed issues, no need for Windows to be running, no need for partitioning... (you have to run Windows 9x but probably better anyway, XP is bloated
;-)Seriously, though, I'd have to list Ranish Partition Manager in this category. And I second the nomination for PuTTY (I actually set up a shortcut, puttyssh.cjb.net, I use it so often - you can actually run it straight from the Web btw) if it hasn't already been seconded.
And don't forget ReactOS - screw Windows, run everything on ReactOS!! ^_^

What it should have
Ideally, I think that such a system should be loaded with a real Linux distrobution. Then it would be a lot better.
By the way, anyone who thinks that you need a fucking kick-ass gaming system just to run OOo is wrong!! My desktop system is 566MHz with 256MB RAM, and my laptop is a 133MHz Pentium with 80MB!! Both of them run Slackware with X and XFCE just fine. (And yes, OpenOffice.org runs on both quite nicely, even with huge documents and several other programs running.) The specs for my systems are available here.
Honestly, I think that the only reason the Wal-Mart systems seem so slow is because everyone's used to Micro$oft and Lin$pire $tandard$

Re:Here is the bit I don't quite get...
The iTunes software will automatically index it for you. Ripping "100 or so" CDs isn't that big of a deal. Do 10 here, 10 there. In a few days they are all ripped.
Seriously, I'm not even using iTunes but I've literally just ripped about 20 CD's in the time it took me to get through the article and then to this point in the thread. Whether you use iTunes (which I don't recommend for mp3 ripping) or some other app, it's hardly a difficult or even particularly time-consuming task.
Do yourself a favor and download the latest LAME codec, then get EAC as a front end. (This is assuming you're using Windows, although LAME works with other OS's too.) LAME is by far the best mp3 encoder at the moment, and EAC is a powerful front-end that's very easy to use once you set it up once - literally one-click, just like iTunes.
I ripped almost my entire collection of 300+ CD's in one afternoon; I'm just going through now and ripping the stragglers that I didn't find mp3-worthy the first time around. It's really not a big deal to do and I'm sure everybody's got enough music lying around to fill up a HDD-based mp3 player without re-purchasing anything. -
Nor do I on the iPod
Here come the holier-device-than-thou posts.
You may have noticed just a few posts here that refute what you are saying. I can quite legally get to the music on my iPod if I wish.
If it's so illegal, the please do point us to an example of one of these iPod reading programs being sued instead of just technically sidetracked when Apple releases a new update.
Heck, Fairtunes is still around and that lets you strip the DRM out of files!! If that's legal, then why would not a program that's basically a custom filesystem explorer be legal as well? -
Re:Mozilla tool to make it truly the default brows
That didn't happen with me until I installed Service Pack 2. I had a lot of trouble installing my Notepad replacement, which SP2 obliterated by putting the default Notepad back. I can't remember how I got around XP's shenanigans. I think I had to disable the "Cryptographic Services" service while I did the switch-a-roo. I might have had to disable something else, too. It was just trial and error until I succeeded.
