Using 3 year subscribtions on their software makes it harder for most people to switch to linux. Once they have a contract for 3 years for any ms product, switching their os will feel bad, because they still have to pay every month for their ms office and or win xp, and they cannot use it! I bet the new office will depend on many "hidden features" in xp for example and thus will be very hard maybe even impossible to run under Wine.
The more people use office the more its formats become the standard in the socalled e-conomy and the more other people depend on it too.
So people sit out the ride and when it ends they subscribe again and there's nothing they can do about it.
This is what the sad future starts to look like to me (not for me!).
Speed doesn't matter, it's what you do with it that counts.
Oh yeah, I really hates the way intel claims in their commercials their faster processors enable faster internetting. As if the processors have been the bottleneck the last years.
"Now corporations can just out and out buy laws with generous campaign donations, which just accelerates the natural decay of the system."
That's exactly what's happening I wonder what's going to be the point when the system collapses.
The visible screen was reduced to about 1/5 normal. Mind you I got all 80x25 characters, but they were TINY!
In awe of this, I popped out the CD and booted back into Windows, opened a command prompt, hit CTRL-ENTER (turns it fullscreen) and got the exact same display.
You can set this in the bios on the compaq laptops. If that doesn't work (but it does), you can allways run in svga textmode (which is cool anyway, because you can put much more characters on your display).
I used to have compaq laptops, but not anymore, because the components are very weak and break easily! My dvdplayer, internal nic and modem were broken within 2 months, shortly after that my harddrive started to make an annoying click sound (ibm travelstar 20gig harddrive btw) which compaq claimed was not broken. I sold the crappy machine shortly after this.
My next one will be a Dell as well btw.
If a company/university/government is filtering your incoming data,
just look for your stuff in another language than your native one, which is probably English, look for the Spanish, German or French stuff the software will probably not block that.
If you cannot read a second language, you now have the time, since you won't be exploring your blocked content anymore.
It's allready possible to create 100% working copies of original games with "clonecd" (only for windows), it really works prefect, you will never have to download annoying fixes for you backed up games anymore.
It can also used for foreign cd types: I also used it for making backups of my original irix distribution they work flawlessly.
Yeah really cool. AMD makes another cheap and faster processor I'd like to buy. But I really like to be able to run a dual or quad processor machine equipped with these Athlons, I really need one. But still no motherboards support this according to the AMD people I spoke to on Cebit today and the one I emailed last week, well they had one working prototype they told me. They also told me other companies hadn't released such motherboards either. Their motherboard would be ready this summer, but the guy hesitated when he told me, so I guess it will at the end of the year.
But I found a benchmark on the internet of a guy claiming to test linux on his dual Athlon machine, he didn't mention the brand or type of his motherboard. Searches with google didn't find me anything more than other people asking the same on forums.
So I'm asking the/. collective: Anyone knows where/when I can buy a decent dual or quad processor able motherboards, or anyone's using one of these babies?
If this is not the case I think there's something to say for intel the more expensive processors, atleast they are supported by the people who manufactor multiprocessor boards.
Just after the day I heard on the news, Bush jr states he's not going to do anything for solving this problem, thereby breaking his election promise (as if we didn't see that coming!).
Give us the sourcecode.

I hope they will give us the sourcecode of the programs they run on that machine, but I don't bet on that.
Perhaps we will find out they actually use it to run a slightly modified version of lm-sensors!
I thought of some new mathematical formulas that made mathemathics easier for me, I explained them to my math-teacher when she asked why I skipped my homework again and she was really astonished. She used them untill my final exams.
Ok, I really don't remember the details unless I'm going to dive deep into my old books.
But these kind of discoveries really depend on the teachers who will have to guide them, if they won't do that a student will never going bring forward a discovery. I think most teachers will find such a thing amusing and perhaps handy for fellow students when they can think of a way of using it. But it's really exceptional when they will put the effort of discussing it on usenet and making an article of it in a science paper.
These kind of exploits are nothing new, neither are incapable sys-admins and Eastereuropean scriptkiddies
(think about why they are allways declared Easterneuropean, btw!),
Yeah, I like to buy stuff on the internet and loads of it, if my bank-account allows me!
But I hate to cancel my creditcard every few months (that is: say it's lost and ask a new one free), because I DON'T like to put that kind of information in other sysadmins hands!
What the hell are they thinking, keeping this creditcard information in their databases, that should be illegal! If they insist on keeping it, perhaps they should keep it on a secure server, that means NO internet connection people, and put the damn thing in a safe too, for godsakes, that's were some SANE people store their creditcards if they don't need to use them!
So I'm still waiting for the day that I go to my bank and they will give my a small calculator and a list of numbers I can use only use once, then I use my calculator and generate a code with each number for every time I want to buy something and when I'm done with the list I go back and get a new code-list instead of having to change my creditcard number every friggin' time!
A compressed filesystem is perfect to store your logfiles on, since they are in clear text.
You don't have to store everything on that partition ofcourse, but it's also nice for storing my "e"-books on which take around 4 gig of space now, I hate to have them all (g)zipped, cause I want to be able to read them anywhere with a web browser.

I normally use cubase for midi only. I don't use the score editting, just the normal tetris-like interface.
Anything simular to cubase out there for linux?
They used to send their criminals and other misfits on ships to North-America.
A few centuries later bad North-American television-shows have dictated the masses bad taste. So now they're sending their intellectuals into space on a bad television-show where they're safe of bad tv-shows. ....ehm wait a minute..
This will allow easier gameripping for pirates, just let the linux-dreamcast mount the gigadisc, then mount it with another machine that's connected via the serial port to the dreamcast, and boom you have direct access to the otherwise inaccessable gigadisc format.

Sounds a lot like the paint used in Matchbox' Hotwheels doesn't it?
I wish my car was painted like that.

They will look up your info in the internic database. If that info is not correct, it's more difficult for them.

Just block the access to the opera servers in your firewall script
