The randomization is bad for one big reason. Since they will never be in the same order, when family calls for help I can't just tell them to click on the middle one(or the one on the far left, etc) I have to either tell them what to look for or have them read off to me what is on their screen until they get to the one I am wanting them to look for. The same thing goes for helpdesk/tech support type set-ups. On the upside big corps probably have a standard disk image with whatever their standard is, but imagine say an ISPs support desk having to deal with a bunch of ridiculous calls just because users who aren't familiar with their computers are call them up asking them which button they should push.
D-Links also can't keep their internal dhcp traffic to themselves. I started having to block DHCP Servers coming from inside customer networks in my network.I would have done it anyway, but customers with D-link routers forced the issue.
I drive a Honda Civic which is rated at 32 city and 38 Highway (guesstimate). The lowest I have seen mine is 31 and the highest was 40. I drive freeway about half the time. The rest is me on the frontage roads avoiding the neverending road construction on the freeway.
*Support: Microsoft says that there is no dedicated team for the OpenOffice suite. What Microsoft fails to realize is that the 'dedicated team' are mainly the users; OpenOffice has a community whereas Microsoft users have support groups.
The first thing I thought when it mentioned the Microsoft users having support groups was group therapy such as AA or ones for Depression!
I don't know how durable it is, but I have a Canon G2. As far as battery life goes I had it last three months, with sporadic pictures taken every few weeks.
This is done with windows and some such server. It will only push out updates to registered members of the domain (which ISP customers are not) and requires a huge network to even justify the expense.

I work for a small local ISP, before making any decisions we always look at it historically using MRTG. If the customer all of a sudden starts spiking up from their normal amount of traffic, then we will let it slide at first. We will warn them that they may need to check to see if there are any updates for their computers that can help. Also we tell them what to check for regarding P2P programs on computers that they may not know about. If it continues then we are justified in charging them more, because they didn't heed our warnings the first time. Most of the time the customers computer(s) are at fault for the bursts that are coming on their connection. Don't know if this helps in your case, but it seems to work well for us.
It seems to me that cable companies are cracking down on people running their on Wireless networks because. They have no wasy of knowing how many computers are connected. It is easy enough to use Wireless APs to spoof the MAC address of an "authorized" machine and thus make it look like only one computer is connected. With this they will have the ability to have their cable boxes "phone home" every night and report how many machines were connected at a given time. With this information they can charge even more for services that cost them nothing extra. When I worked Tech Support at AT&T@Home that additional ips went for about $5. Imagine if someone was using your AP without your knowledge and you got charged or a lan party on a wireless network made them think you had ten computers connected. This could get extremely expensive, and with the usual Agreements that users sign without ever looking over users would have no way out to pay the extra fees or have their credit ruined.
After the stock batteries wore out on my phone I went to Office max and picked up a couple of AA rechargable batteries that are meant for digital cameras. The only hard part is making sure you get the right voltage. A lot of the these batteries have a higher voltage rating because the are meant for devices that draw a lot more juice at once.
Currently my university has been using these same smart chips in our University IDs for the past year. It has been a costly switch over and ridden with problems. Most likely much of the information would be stored on the smart chip with these new cards just as our accounts are stored on it. Unfortunately if a card is lost or stolen there is no way to get money back on your id card as as there is not much of a paper trail to follow. The chips in the cards are also easily worn, as my card will attest to from sitting in my wallet, and I often have problems using my cards in many of the readers accros campus. Unfortunately the administration will not release much about our cards and they continue to say that there is no vital information stored on the cards. But I ceertainly don't regard my university account with which I use for printing, copying, buying food and supplies as not vital.
We have run into the same thing from a certain unnamed company. The interface is much slower and more prone to almost freezing for a few minutes. We also noticed that one by one channels started disappearing. Not that they were no longer being carried, but that the company claimed we never had them in the first place.
The real world is starting to figure out how much can be done without paying $30 -$infinite licensing fees to Microsoft and still be able to interact with almost anybody and do just about everything better. All thanks to one suit who took the time to figure it out.
Those release notes were never updated. The main release notes say that it now supports the ati 128, however, the ati release notes were copied from a previous version of X. The date of the file is June 23, 1999.
I can't wait to get this downloaded and working. The SuSE workaround worked alright, but was subject to unexplained freezes, or just outright dieing. Adios
The Juggernautsearch Engine crawler is the first fully automated crawler that can reindex all 800 million World Wide Web pages every three months fully available to the public for a nominal two year subscription fee.
With the search engine being GPLed it still relies on a subscription service in in order for it to function. It mentions nothing about the crawler needed to create the database, but it also mentions that you are free to create your own database. Is it just me or is this a contradiction.
For the smallest subscription it gives 1.6 million urls at $100 a year. This price goes up to $500 for 10 Million urls.
For such a useful program, it is limiting itself to its own database which costs money to use.
THe only troubles that I have had on the Matrix DVD is when you are looking at the special features menu. If you choose the Cast & Crew option then the movie ends and you have to start over. Other than that everyting else works fine. I am using a Pioneer DVD-303S.
I have worked with a number of companies that feel safe using Open Source databases, for their reliability and for the availability of documentation and help that has been provided by other users. This is the type of support that will help push MySql and PostgreSql into the market as potential contenders

Of course he does, he just hopes that the judge doesn't. :)

This is probably not real given that its April Fools Day alone. But also because of the domain registration.

Since Blizzard currently provides the battle.net system for free, will Microsoft starting charging for the service as they charge for everything else.

For some reason you have to go to http://www.nsa.gov/winsecurity and then proceed from there.

I was able to load BEOS on an AMD K5 32mb.
...
Only problem was Beos didn't support the K-5 so it would run until I started a program then...KABOOM!
It says in the article that the changes would take affect the next time you renew your domain.

Now I'll be able to get a new kernel anytime I want!
