Sure you might alse get free nationwide long-distance(for extra money) but once you exit your local calling area you get a horrific roaming charge(to be fair.. europe's roaming charges are bad too when you hop countries). Receiving calls while outside your local calling area is also expensive. In Europe "local" calling area(for cellphones) is generally the country you live in and not the couple of surrounding counties around you. If you want something like the whole east coast as your local calling area prepare to give out triple digits/month..
I pay about $49 a month for 350 minutes of nationwide longdistance with no roaming charges.
Of that $49 I think $10 of it is what I'm paying so that I don't get charged roaming or longdistance charges from anywhere in the U.S.
It's like at my job. I have pretty extensive knowledge of PC hardware, Windows, Linux, Various other Unixes, Programming in various languages, etc. My boss is a guy in his 60's, he has extensive knowledge in System/36 and AS/400s and RPG.
Maybe your boss is starting to feel obsolete?
In the computer industry, if you don't keep up with things as they are happening it can get easy to fall behind and end up stuck in the "I worked on (some old tech) for (some # of years) and noone is going to tell me how (something new) works!" or the "We have always done it this way, and we aren't about to change!".
It all boils down to this: Does your boss feel threatened?
Yeah, there are still a few versions of Lemonade stand out there, and it's actually a great Idea. It's a simple game that still stresses the qualities he's looking for.
No, the story was about a guy who made his own MP3's from his own music and put them on the web space provided by his provider, who in turn deleted them all.
I have quite a few BBS Door's up, including Tradewars, and it's free. It hasn't gotten much activity lately and I was thinking of taking it down...
I also found a huge collection of my old floppies from my BBS days and started putting them up here There are a bunch of old dos programs, some BBS doors/programs and a bunch of other crap.
I also would like someone to help me go through it all and help me catalog it.
If you look at the pictures in the article I distinctly see the person playing Quake3 with the Claw in his LEFT hand.
This to me says that when they say a "Right Handed" version is being looked to, they mean one being held in your right hand.

Is Novell Doomed?

I work for a company that produces front and back office software for hotels.
Right now we service about 300-400+ hotels and alot of them still use Novell, alot of them use AS/400's and System 36's, and the Majority use NT.
There is one property I know that was inquiring about Linux. The problem with Hotels is they don't like to spend money on their computer systems. Novell is fairly strong in the Hotel Industry and will probably be around a while longer.
About the possibility of using an emulated environment for PC games to make them easier to port.... He seemed to shoot down the idea due to performance issues.
Although I can see where there could be a performance hit, with today's fast processors I can't see how the hit would be very large considering you could write your game or program to one API and make it as tight and fast as possible. You also wouldn't have to worry about compatability concerns.
Has anyone heard of any other gaming companies doing something like this?
Only the difference being that Americans are called such because the actual name of our country is "The United States of America".
And besides, calling someone a "United Statian" just sounds funny:)
Then I pose this question....
A radio station I listen to broadcasts over the net in addition to more conventional means.
What if I were to take that live feed, chop it up into mp3's and distribute it over napster?
Because this is being broadcast by a radio station, can they claim that it's the same quality as the original cd?
Hmmmm...
Actually the article did not say he had 10,000 songs. In fact, it stated that number more for shock value than anything else.
The article actually said: "The 19-year-old's computer system--including monitor, keyboard, two CD burners, scanner and printer--was removed earlier this month from his dorm room after campus police determined he was operating an FTP server site that allowed visitors to download MP3 music files and even several full-length movies"
And this: "The seized computer gear included 105 gigabytes of hard drive space, of which about 40GB were made available to visitors. Assuming the average music file occupies about 4MB, the student could have had approximately 10,000 songs available for download."
Wow, that sentence has the words "Assuming". "average", "could", and "approximately" all together.
So in reality, the person has 40 gig of files available. Depending on the format of the movie files and quality, one movie could me anywhere between 300 meg and 1.5 gig. So if the student had 10 movies, which could be several, or even 20. He could have a ton of non mp3 used space.
But I digress, the point was, he probably didnt have anywhere NEAR 10,000 mp3's.
Now, IANAL here, but I'm 99.9% sure that you CANNOT legally sign away some of your most basic rights. Like property rights. I'm also pretty sure that staying in a college dorm falls somewhere inside the Landlord/Tenant laws that vary from state to state.
On the other hand, you could always play the music on your computer or other device, and loop it back into your computer, recording it as an mp3 and eliminating the watermarking in the file, unless of course they somehow incorporate it into the actual audio. Which I doubt.
Slashdot Mirror

Just a thought...
I wish I had some mod points for this.

Come on people.
Not really, you should be able to figure it out with a variation of the first java example (In the language of your choice, of course).
Once you have the hash table of objects, you should be able to print them out and then be able to work with them.
One I know about is at Wincam.com, they are developing security camera technologies with webcam's.
Currently, their products run on linux.
Worth a look anyway.
Good thing im *typing* and not talking then!
Bear in mind that he is making fun of the english language, or at least that usage of it hehe.
I think it's more than that.

Sounds to me like Wake on Lan
You CAN disable it, most likely you have a "Wake on Lan" cable running from your NIC to the motherboard, unplug it and it won't wake up your server.

I agree.
I would say Mario is the most recognizable and popular video game character of all time.
Remember Super Mario Bros.? The Super Mario Super Show? The cereal? The Movie? Action Figures? Come on...
And the TMNT had all that, 2 more movies, and a bigger line of toys....

That make me wonder why I don't see more hardware for sale by individuals that rivals the stuff done by big companies, sometimes better.
