You can download the patches by hand yourself you know, using the windows update catalog (see this news article for details on accessing each patch individually) and then offline install those PC's using your own ISO.

What you can do is to download the latest 'beta' (or is that 'alpha') of the G400TV Windows 2000 drivers and video-tools and install these. They can be found on the "Latest Matrox Drivers" page. Unfortunately, a few features, such as MJPEG support, and the ability to record from the remote-control app are not available. However, someone has figured out how to get a Marvel G400TV to use MJPEG with Windows 2000. This site explains it (it's in Italian use Google language tools to translate), and offers a patch or two that can be downloaded. Also, you should be able to record video with a 3rd-party video-editing app (but I've not tried that yet from Windows 2000).

Incidentally, has Matrox abandoned the video-editing/TV-tuner/graphics card all in one market, or is it just hopelessly late in bringing one out? Back in 1999, the G400TV seemed like the best option at the time, and I went for that (and I'm still using mine). At that time, I became fond of Matrox, but due to the lack of a more modern replacement (the latest offering in that line, the G450eTV is hopelessly out of date), I'll have to switch over to ATI All-In-Wonder or NVidia Whatever-The-Hell-The-Equivalent-Is-Called. One of the things I've heard about Matrox cards is that they have a reputation for the best screen-clarity. As I'm used to pushing my monitor's rez as high as it will go before my eyes explode, I'm a bit concerned that I may be forced to use a lower rez if I go with an ATI or NVidia.

What? Postfix doesn't seem to know about "clientreject" and it appears to be some sort of milter for sendmail that you are talking about.

Don't bother modding my post up.

seaching google finds no hits at all.

For the non-Americans among us: according to Google's units feature, 16 lbs is approximately 7.26 kg.

Latency: 12[miles]=19.8[km], 19.8 [km] / c [km/s] = 19.8/300000 [s] = 0.000066s=0.066ms=660ns for the light to travel up. That's 1.66ms to get back down again, maybe a bit more because it's diagonal. Add the delay for 3 times (client, platform, isp) the wireless equipment and it's still pretty damn fast.

Weather: there will not be a lot of turbulence or real storms, but there are pretty strong winds called jet streams and it's pretty cold up there. More information especially over here and also a bit over here.

I love to click on a link :-)

Good internationalization support. Contrast this with the Linux-run Google.

I'll bite: Google has one of the best internationalization support of all sites I have encountered. See this page

This letter on SCO's website contains a number of non-original words and phrases. For example:

'commercial Linux user' is a phrase first commonly used by SGI;

'Unix-like operating system' has obviously been pinched from multiple sources; and

SCO's claim to 'Linux-related activies' is clearly not propietary.

This messages constitutes a warning to SCO to change the content of the above mentioned letter or face possible legal proceedings.

Try Google.
Sorry for the Dutch, but you get the links anyway.

At 50 miles, there's not enough atmosphereto sustain the SR-71's engines.

This page states the SR-71's speed is limited to at most Mach 3.8 by the shock waves off the nose entering the engine intakes.

The Mach 3.2/85kft figures are pretty well established. Anything above that is pure guesswork and/or wishful thinking.

For those interested:

Here you go.

Your example is in fact perfect to show why the Elitist was right.

If this so-called Newbie knows what a master boot record is and that he wants to write one, he could have plugged "write master boot record" into google, and gotten his answer on the first link.

So notwithstanding the fact that /mbr might not be an officially documented switch to fdisk, RTFM is the correct answer to this particular person.

Note very clearly that I say this because this Newbie is obviously not a newbie based on the question, but just a lazy bastard. True newbies get quite a lot of slack on the various newsgroups and mailing lists I frequent.

Hundred "lol msnbc rotfl lol" one liners already?

Bashing articles like this takes patience, and (lucky for me) always starts with a little character assasination:

A quick google on Jown w. schoen shows us john (whose lastname translates to "shoe" in dutch btw, for those who where wondering) likes to write stories. None of these apear to be hosted at nasa.gov , so we just assume he is no rocket scientist. Most of his stories come from msnbc And they tell us about how "local busineses go for the gold at the olympics and the Insurance industry thriving post-9/11 . Now, in his favour, google turns up some searches indicating he (or someone with his name) wants to preserve wildlife(bears and birds ), I may be ruthless with other peoples character, but on these issues I agree and think he should perhaps consider a full time career couse he does a way better job at writing about birds then he does on "hightech-biz-hype" issues where he just does the pressrelease/minute counting game to find out whats "hot" (hype)

Righ now is the time to note his stories are not hosted at ADTI, either. Nice for him you might think, couse documents once posted there, tend to change over time, but there is another reason. It seems john has found a platform for his text in wich there is little bother about their contents as long as they match the general small to thinking-they-are-big busineses line of interests. No critical journalism, and no conclusion of any sort in this article whatsoever, by no means a targeted fud compaign.

So what remains of this particular story: "At tech expo, open source software is hard to find" is the sub-headline for those of us who (like me) didn`t bother to read the article completely, thats all what this story is about and it just heapons to be a quote from someone who is in those silent spots at "tech expo". Wich expo is he talking about anyway, ah there is the link in the article, you know a good journalist has done his/her job when you see one link in the article, it tells you that he has listened to every side on the matter on which he (or she) is reporting. Tech expo must be a fun place to be, especially for serious programmer will feel right at home at the informationweek sponsored (another reputable magazine with such high ranking "news sources" as the bsa!) where the most sophistacated topic seams to "securing wireless networks using nice shiny gui software", one has to wonder in what cave those who hear of wireless insecurity for the first time have been living, but it aint the one with our friendly OOG

And now I might have lost the readers looking for a nice conspiracy theory about well targeted fud already, dont throw away those tinfoil hats yet couse msnbc actually reports the scary story that there is an FBI booth at pc expo where real fbi officers (no "I could have sworn it was a booth babe when I asked about getting a picture of her kissing me" stories this time)hand out application forms becouse, acording to msnbc "where better to find certified computer experts" Now that is scary becouse from what I read in the rest of the story, this expo doesn`t really match computex, hacking at large or e3 for that matter, so I think the FBI should have a chat with Cia recruting or perhaps see if the nsa has some cryptographers left couse I have the feeling they wont find any real technical help at this expo (other then those who put ten years of wireless mcse window 2000 experience with webservices .net and iis on their cv).

No, not correct:

When trying the search for "kleiner leitfaden" (which is German for "handy guide") in Google Groups you will go to here , then choose the third message and look at the Complete Thread. You will go to here , than scroll up and you'll see one of the forbidden articles.

Then, try the same "kleiner leitfaden" in Google WWW. You will go to here. . The seventh link is pointing to here and again you will have the article in front of you.

Then, enter the title of the forbidden Indymedia site in Google WWW. The first link, try the Cache: here

Enough said.

The Dutch Google doesn't have the DMCA notice either. I wonder what's up with them Italians...

Potentially it could be that Microsoft Windows was announced (and possibly trademarked) before X11 got out of the laboratory. And therefore they were dancing around Microsoft's trademarks. I can't think of anyone else who would sue you for calling it X-Windows.

Both Microsoft Windows and X Window System appeared in the mid 80s. I doubt Microsoft could get a generic word like "Windows" trademarked, especially since other software used the same word. The old XWindow-User-HOWTO had a history section which is still available at Google.

Now there are lots of people here who like Star Wars. So I don't want to start a Star Wars is good/bad type of thing. The point is, I don't like the series, I ignore it, to each his own, yadda yadda. Then on the other hand you have the people who like it, who watch it, and (figuring from the comments), for the most part are disappointed with it. Especially with Jar Jar Binks. People really hate Jar Jar Binks, and will go to great lengths detailing the precise nature of their discontent with Jar Jar Binks.

Now the funny thing is that all this hubbub is fast making Jar Jar Binks into the most memorable character in the second Star Wars series. In fifteen years time, we'll all be going "Remember Jar Jar?" - "Yeah, he was horrible.". I mean I could care less about Star Wars and Death Stars, but I do know that Jar Jar Binks is a character to loathe. Jar Jar may have been a creative mistake, a creative disaster even, but you have to respect commercial genius.

Googling for Spacewars turns up several results that say the game is from 1961, not '62. Is The Times Wrong?
