Gravity Shielding, Anti-Gravity a while Back. Am I the only one to see the conspiracy going on here? Its an attempt to draw all the LINUX geeks into space on 'ISS Linux' and have the 'ISS Enterprise' shot it down?
Okay. If you guys are running NT machines with simple applications that don't change, and you're getting serious reboot and crash problems, then you have some very incompetent NT people. Myself- I run linux at home and introduced it into the network at work. But we are still mostly NT, and there's not been a BSOD since I mis-installed NT for the first time. And our few crashes are inevitably application crashes, not OS crashes. For the purposes you guys have, NT should be plenty reliable. Hire some knowledgable NT people. These are UNIVERSITY students, some of these people like art majors or whatever has no concept of shutting down. Its like, ohh, I'm done my paper and I need to log out, POWER OFF. damn, my computer is slower, POWER OFF and on. And YES, there are like tons of signs around telling people how to shtu down properly but most students don't give a rat's ass.
Noo! This is a Bad Idea. Rememeber Star Trek when the Probe Nomad meets with an Alien Probe and their identifies merge? Instead of an perfect AI Robot seeking Alien Races, Nomad becomes an Robot who's goal is to destory inperfect biological organisms. That means our Nomad will merge with an dophin and become NOMAD, Goal to throw metroites at big tall Politicans. Then we'll need Shatners's great logic to stop it.
I've been to the Montreal and Toronto Film Festivals and others and I agree with people who day that Online Films are both a good and bad things.
Good things is that it allows people who do not have access to go there to watch it. I mean the jest of it is that a lot of short films take a LONG time to make it out on video and some people like me just don't have the patience.
On the other hand. Going to a film festival is more then watching the movie. its a total package experience, talking to the producer. The fans, the crowd. Even taking a loved one. Imagine sitting in front of the 9" monitor with your loved one, now isn't dressing up and going to the film festival with her much more fun?
I think that's highly unlikely since RedHat will focus on Open Source Software mainly [LINUX] and if they takeover Corel, what will they do with Corel Draw and WP for non-LINUX. Will they open-source it? then MS could steal it. mmm, bad.
Big Company Wants to Fork LINUX non GPL: 1. Big Company Hires 14 Year Old Kid 2. 14 Year Old Kid Downloads LINUX Source 3. 14 Year Old Kid Sells It To Company for $1000 4. Big Compnany Starts Marketing Own LINUX under BSD License (or whatever)
Why is this possible you say? Well, technically since the kid is 14, then he can download LINUX Score and the GPL doesnt' bind to him [Remember, you have to be 17/18/19/20/21 - depends on where you are - before you can enter a legally binding contract.
mmm. I just thought of this, what if we get like 10-12 year old to download say SSH and SCP and Cyrpto stuff like that and then export it. I mean the get it and then ftp it overseas. Since they are only 10-12, the are not able to agree to not expert right? and also, doesn't those laws apply to adults only?
I think that every month or so, at least once a year. The teachers should go to like a group session and get updated. I mean they have the whole summer off, why not say take a week of that and do some upgrading?
Then again, I can't blame it totally on teachers too. I mean the books we use are so old sometimes that its pointless, then we have to buy new books ever couple of years and that really adds up.
1] Recall Everything - Not very likely considering the sales that are already out and stuff. It would be really bad and very expensive for the companies. They would recall everything, redo the encoding and resell?
2] DVD-II -screw everything and start with a new Encoding Standard, make everyone get new DVD Players. Then its Class Action Lawsuit Oh-Rama!
3] New Addon Chip and New Series of DVDs --> Probably in my opinion the most likley option, give everyone who has a DVD an upgrade chip and it in new encoding schemes and encode the new DVDs to such new scheme. So that all new DVDs will need the new chip/scheme therefore not work with the old ones.
This really brings back memmories to when I was my High School Comp Technician and we had a lab [~100 computer] and they were all Packard Bells. Yikes, did I have my work cut out for me [:)]. Those things were CRAP, I mean literally CRAP. They were all DX4-100's and they could only use 16 [4x4MB Chips, they can't use anything higher] MB of RAM. And I had the fun of sending back to their service department each system about every two weeks [if I had to open it and fix it, it would void the waranatee and the school board ain't liking that] until the warantees finally ran out and we basically hack'n'slashed them to work somehow.
Heheh:) Definately, I'm glad SUSE is doing this. Finally I can say that my DVD-ROM is worth the money I paid last month [my GF almost killed me] after I splurged for a Sony 21" Earlier this year:) The Matrix on a 21" KICKS ASS!
Oh, man. that sounds nice, but I seriously wonder what kinda of cooling we need. KyroTech or above? At the lab here, we have Duel PIII-600's in Mini-Tower [had to go Mini-Cause we have 20 of thse suckers] and 2x9 GIGS SCSI HD and SMC 1211TX NIC and they generate heat. [Each of them runs a program called GAUSSIAN which somehow runs for like two weeks each time and generates scratch files totallinng 8 to 12 gigs each run] and it does get damned hot.
1] The Americans Conducted an ILLEGAL blockade of an Island [Cuba]. Why? Soviets was gonna put ICBM's there? Illegal you say? It was legal for the Soviets to puke Nukes there, but not legal for Americans to blockade it. Assuming it did violate the Non-Profilateration Treaty [The Cuban Missile Crisis was before the Treaty Anyway], then the American IRBM [InterMediate Range Ballstic Missiles] in Turkey sure heck did first.
2] Americans pretty much handed Nuclear Weapon Designed Plans to Isreal despite the NPT which was signed before then.
3] Kosovo. Do I even have to go on? Illegally Delcaring war on another country, and don't even give the NATO bullshit. NATO cannot attack another country legally [or wait, yeah they can, remember? US Controls NATO].
4] Ratification of START II. The START II treaty was signed by both US and USSR, the US Senate never ratified it.
5] The F-15 ASAT Weapon. The Americans called it Anti-Satellite but it is technically an ABM weapon [although a crappy one at that]
Seriously, Americans have never obey a treaty unless its to their advantage
yeah, I know this weapon. It is a torpedo like shaped device that fit into the undercarriage of the F-15s. It is an anti-satellite weapon [not ABM] and very ineffective at that].
The way this works is that when the satellite is approximately overhead, the F-15 Afterburns to 50,000 to 55,000 feet and the Missile fires.
The missile had a lot of limitation: 1] The Satellite has to be within a very narrow angle off the launch point or it will not hit [it didn't have much manoverbility] 2] It only goes up to near where the Space Shuttle Goes, near LEO [Low EarthOrbit] it really didn't have gas to go higher

Machine ID
Every NT Workstation has an UNIQUE ID. Every machine on the network must have an Unique ID or else bonkos. Ghosting makes two machiens with same ID.
That's why with Norton Ghost(tm), what we use, they include GhostWalker. GhostWalker sets the Unique machine ID for each machine after ghosting.

IMHO...
and what the deal with Õ? I get them in both netscape and IE
Point: Java DOES NOT ALLOW operator overloading however, Java Natively does Operator Overload.
Example? +
1+1 = 2
1 + "2" = "12"
1. If you are politically connection, then 1000 kids is possible
2. it was only implemented in the late 70s, so if they were born in before mid 70s

In Canada, Criminal Law does NOT APPLY to kids under 12.
Think About This Scenario:
Big Company Wants to Fork LINUX non GPL:
1. Big Company Hires 14 Year Old Kid
2. 14 Year Old Kid Downloads LINUX Source
3. 14 Year Old Kid Sells It To Company for $1000
4. Big Compnany Starts Marketing Own LINUX under BSD License (or whatever)

I think we should make all teachers read /. everyday for 20 minutes *g*
5 Year Plan is by Mao
a few possibilities:
1] Recall Everything - Not very likely considering the sales that are already out and stuff. It would be really bad and very expensive for the companies. They would recall everything, redo the encoding and resell?
2] DVD-II -screw everything and start with a new Encoding Standard, make everyone get new DVD Players. Then its Class Action Lawsuit Oh-Rama!

They took the flyable part out. Damnit, it would be cool if it could fly too.
:0
Stuff Like, mmm, I wanna go to Linux Expo but the airlines are already booked and so is hotel. NP, friends come to my home and we'll fly there
WOLFENSTIEN 3D was 3 1.44MB Floppies [I still have them]
mm, I think I wanna play a game.
I think DOOM was 12 Floppies
Heheh :) Definately, I'm glad SUSE is doing this. Finally I can say that my DVD-ROM is worth the money I paid last month [my GF almost killed me] after I splurged for a Sony 21" Earlier this year :) The Matrix on a 21" KICKS ASS!

Reader's Digest?
don't even get me started on that one. Lemme see --> Pro Religion, Anti-American, Pro-Life,
Play Fair:
Hhh, lets see.

Seriously, Americans have never obey a treaty unless its to their advantage
I doubt when Chinese does invade the US will honor that treaty
It was part of the treaty. By your logic, why have treaties since no one enforces them?
yeah, I know this weapon. It is a torpedo like shaped device that fit into the undercarriage of the F-15s. It is an anti-satellite weapon [not ABM] and very ineffective at that].
