Screeners. Copies of the movies are now often sent in DVD format for review.
There is a 2CD DivX of such a copy of LotR floating 'round the net. The quality of this DivX is excellent (much better than most DVD rips, so I assume that the source material is DVD)
B.t.w. To the MPAA and other interested parties: I've seen LotR twice in the cinema, and yes, I will be buying the DVD when it comes out! The fact that I have access to a DivX rip doesn't change that!
Is it possible that IE and Netscape are trying to change the standard rahter than using the standard?
It used to be like that (think of horrors like 'frames' and 'font'). These days it is more the other way around; when the spec is thought out and published, there is usually no conforming implementation yet.
This is a Good Thing (TM), because it creates a much cleaner specification. Take a look at the XHTML Strict specification, and you'll see that it has become much cleaner. Some of the old 'cruft' is retained in the Transitional/Frameset DTD's, but the Strict version is nice, clean and simple.
The W3C has done a good job removing the presentational aspects out of the HTML spec and into CSS. Mozilla follows the spec quite closely, in fact so closely that they sometimes get into a heated discussion with web-developers who don't understand the CSS2 spec.(for instance, this 'little' gem http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22274)
I think that one of the greatest features of Mozilla is that you can take the W3 CSS2 spec and use it pretty much as a manual.
I work at a web-design company, and the web-designers are starting to realise this. Mozilla is the ONLY browser that gets this close to standards compliance, IE6 is still al LONG way behind. NS 4.7 just plain sucks at modern HTML/CSS; Opera doesn't cut it either. Konqueror is pretty impressive, giving IE a run for it's money.
Couple that with the fact that Mozilla is cross-platform, can be embedded and is truly Open Source makes it a really great product.
I'm surprised noone has notices that the station still hasn't been slashdotted! They are streaming with the experimental icecast2 server. I'd say that's pretty impressive.
Thanks to all who are making this possible. Especially Monty, Ogg/Vorbis rocks!
Contrast with Linux. If you call Red Hat about Sendmail, for example, they can only go so far before they say, "Well, you'll have to call sendmail, Inc. This is a bug in their app."
If you think this is what RedHat will do, you are seriously misinformed about their support. In fact, RedHat is as much a consulting/services firm as a Linux distributor. Since sendmail is OpenSource, they can actually fix real bugs (as opposed to configuration problems) in the software.
But wait a minute, you can also go to Sendmail Inc. for support, so you have more full support options than with Microsoft. Not only that, but you can get real fixes for real problems because you can fix them at source level!

Remind me of the OS that I use. Linux, you may have heard of it.
.... software only works with windows.
Oh, our
Why?
Because everyone uses Windows, don't they?
Well, I don't!
Tough!
He didn't say insecure, but just that win98 makes a pretty graph...
And it does, really! (Although I think Cisco IOS 12.0 makes an even prettyer one).
Relax Bill, we're not out to get you....
If some of that mission critical code that is used to guide 747's was at least ogled by Alan Cox and Linux before being put into production...
Remember, the more eyes look at the code, the shallower the bugs become...
MacOS X [apple.com]: UNIX for people that bathe daily.
UNIX: MacOS X for people who paid attention in school.
Yeah, fork over the cash and buy Opera will do it!
Otherwise they could have outlawed CD burners, photocopiers and who knows what else by now.
They are most likely working on getting those restricted at this very moment...
Next is the banning of uncensored Internet, shortly followed by requiring all the women to wear shrouds.
See you on the other side....

Estari partners hold patents for the dual-screen laptop
Oh please! Geez that must be truly worth a patent, I don't think anyone has thought of this before...
Thankfully this is such a crap idea, that it doesn't matter much in the big line of things...
If this is the 'Klez/W32' virus, it is unlikely that is from Hemos since it spoofs the sender.

If you can't make normal drives that can run all day, you shouldn't be in the harddrive business.
Do you ever turn off your Linux machine? I don't...
'nuff said!
Whoops, quite right, that should be 5Mb... :(
Still quite a lot though.
That means storing 1000 contacts requires 50Mb of disk space (the iPod has 5Gb of diskspace).
Extremely compact my *ss
Which is probably why it isn't being built in the United States...
I know of some places in Holland (of all places) that they have this
Well with a country as flat as ours, where else are we going to practise? ;-)
Recently though, this type of facility is getting more popular (Snowplanet).
No substitute for the real thing though
Sorry, that should be "deploy".

but at the very least the swap file shouldn't be on disk
Think about it:
Now what happens when the swapfile is on a RAM disk? Before you went on a rant, did you even consider that it might help if you knew what "swap" is?
B.T.W. About XP's feature of loading the kernel into RAM, what do you think the following Linux kernel bootup message means?
/. was for nerds. My mum knows this stuff ;-)
Memory: 384320k/393136k available (1105k kernel code, 8428k reserved, 306k data, 232k init, 0k highmem)
Jeez, I thought

In Dutch 'gist' translates as 'yeast' (which of course is used in beer brewing). Should bring a smile to a Dutch speaking person's face.
