Replying to my own post, look at your standard PC keyboard and tell me how Microsoft changed the standard there, oh, 7 years ago. I wonder if keyboard manufacturers have to pay royalties or copyright fees to use the windows logo on their keys.
> Not to be a troll or anything, but how different is this from Apple and AirPort?
I have an Airport card and it works perfectly with a SMC barricade and other common wireless routers. We're just looking at Microsoft's past history of altering standards to work in incompatible ways and speculating that they could do the same with wireless standards. Hopefully, this will not be true, but history has been known to repeat itself.
I think the more correct phrase is "What a bunch of speculation."
It's not a lie unless you know it is false. Do you have any of this hardware? How do you know anything unless you do? Product specifications are liable to change without notice.
I'm sure that, if it were possible and economical to clone Ferrari's, it would soon be illegal to do it. Instead, it would depend if you had a license to make a Ferrari. Maybe you already do need one; Ford probably could not make one without some legal issues.
I've used the old print-to-file using the Applewriter 600 windows drivers with great success. The output that you get is postscript, which you can print just fine. If you want a PDF, use ps2pdf.
Man, what happened to 'talk'. I use this with my machines all of the time, and I can do 'talk joeblow@machine' very simply and its been around forever.
Hell, even windows has the popup messaging protocol that's been around since at least WFWG, and I can still talk to windows boxes using Kopete today!
But you can change the picture and have it cycle pictures automatically. So it's not 'only one picture'. Plus, you don't have the nasty chemicals or waste of traditional processing.
You can also turn if off at night. Macs can do auto on/off very well.

I just checked, and at least KDE 3.1 CVS lets you press a key to jump to the first kicker item beginning with that letter. The letters get underlined when you press a key. The developers are listening.
Geez, you know what they meant. The icon is rendered from a palette of millions of colors, e.g. each pixel uses at least 24 bits. You're just being pedantic.

Yes, if you're good, you can drop the stones so fast that the opponent doesn't notice if you drop an extra here or there, just to get to a spot that you own. Yes, a good game goes beyond its rules a little, but that's part of the fun.
"The biggest sacrifice is the use of a 2.5" laptop hard drive. In our particular unit it was an IBM drive spinning at 4500rpm. The use of 2.5" drives keeps the heat, noise and size down however at the same time it also raises the costs and hurts performance."
"One problem with this particular setup is a non back panel case design. Meaning that the case is designed for this particular motherboard (and the two others Lex makes) and those boards only."
"From the looks of the above picture, it looks as if a 3.5" hard drive could be mounted. Unfortuately however, underneath the 2.5" drive is the internal connections for the external power supply."

If you're printing confidential information like payroll, the the printer is probably not in a public location. Otherwise, it's just as easy to look at the paper coming out as it is to sniff packets, if not easier.
What's wrong with a private network or a direct computer->printer connection via parallel/usb in this special case?
I was riding my bike with my fiancee around E. Riverside in Austin, TX, and I stopped when we got to the ACC campus golf course, suddenly remembering the eclipse. I found a Jackie Goodman poster in a ditch, tore it in half and poked it through with a pen. Then I projected onto the other half of the sign; horray, the eclipse had just started. She wasn't as impressed as I was after the first minute or so, so she drug me away. Then, we went to Albertsons (they don't have cheap roses this June..what a bummer) and I had to see how far things had progressed. So, I grabbed a sign advertising flowers ($1.99 each, what a rip!), poked it and projected onto the A-frame in front of the store. She was embarrassed, but I got to see 60% coverage!
Slackware comes with some installation kernels that support the Speakup screen reader for linux. It requires that you have a compatible speech synthesizer (no software yet) or a Brail-n-Speak. Just look at the SPEAKUP_DOCS.TXT file in the Slackware install disk.
How about projecting infrared light onto the screen. Most cameras are sensitive to infrared light, so it could be used to add invisible to the naked eye messages and such to the picture. It would probably require a second 'security' projector.
Wing commander was the first game to start the hardware upgrade craze over a game. I have the PC Computing magazine that discusses this; it probably drove the move to 386's more than windows 3!
I know that they found these rock fragments concentrated around trees, but how does that mean that they were being used as tools? I can use a rock to break open a pecan, but when I put it down, does it suddenly look like a tool? Would someone be able to pick up that rock later and say 'hmm..looks like someone cracked a pecan with this one.' You can call it a 'tool fragment', but come on, these are rocks around a tree. Apes could have been eating them and pooping around trees, for all we know.
I attended a lecture by Steve French of IBM/Samba where this was explained from his slides. The following is part of his explanation:
People think of Microsoft when they think of CIFS since they coined the new name for the SMB protocol in 1996, soon after Sun announced the WebNFS extensions to NFSv3.
But Dr. Barry Feigenbaum (IBM) actually invented CIFS's predecessor SMB (originally called "BAF" protocol) in the mid-1980s and multiple companies contributed.
SMB is the X/Open (Open Group) "Standard for PC Interworking" (1992)
SMB/CIFS is the main network filesystem on OS/400, OS/2, DOS and other operating systems and implementations are available on most every major operating system for the past 10 years.
Storage Network Industry Association just released CIFS Technical Ref.
Unix and Macintosh extensions to CIFS are documented by SNIA and implemented
You can (possibly;P) see his lecture notes

sed is an abbreviation for 'streaming editor', a coincidence. lex is short for 'lexical analyzer generator', for which lexical is rooted in latin, but not related here.
This is the classic dilema with all technology, which can be used equally to promote good as well as well as evil. Encryption software enables privacy for bad guys as well as good, just like guns protect people indescriminately. While it's a good idea in a perfect world, it can't be done. Its a variant of the old 'guns don't kill, people do'.
