What i would like to know is, how do you verify that these lists are opt-in?
Plus, I find it very hard to believe you only want this product for small private or non-profit organizations since all your other services are trying to hook larger fish. Don't try to pretend you can't figure this out yourself, or afford a decent amount to have someone do it for you. ou obviously plan to make a decent amount of money off this, i suggest you offer some kind of profit sharing to the developer. And hey, if you really don't plan on making much money off it, well then you won't be losing much right?
I find it ever harder to believe that you goto school full time, run all these services by your self, and still don't have a clue about unix. If you know this little about Unix you shouldn't be advertising a hosting service. I noticed you offer unix shells as well, what business do you have offering shell services without knowing 2 bits about Unix? Also, if you have all this time to develop "scWeb" why can't you get some books and do this project yourself. I noticed this projectg went from version 1.0 to 3.0 in less than 2 months.
All in all, you don't provide a credible story. I suggest you change your slashdot nick, reword your entire posting, come up with a new story, register a new domain, and submit this question again. Don't try to pull that "I'm too poor and stupid routine" because you're obviously not.
I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 2100 which I am very happy with. Magnisum casing, PIII 700mhz, 256mes, built in 10/100 ethernet. I bought a Lucent Orinoco Silver 802.11b wireless card off ebay for $89, which also has a port for an external antenna, very nice. The laptop also has a 12.1" screen that does 1024x768 which makes things very sharp. Both cdrom and floppy are external so it's only 3.4lbs, the battery lasts about 3 hours with light use. Dimensions are 10.7"x8.7"x1.0" very light and pretty durable. The only part on the case I worry about is the fan vent is in the back on a corner which means if it drops and hits that corner those vents are going to break pretty quick.
A lot of people, I'm sure, are going to ask about backwards compat. Yes, the new processor is being designed my motorola and it will still run the old DragonBall based software, it is an ARM based dragonball. I would also like to point out that for some reason or another, the new processor includes built in support for Sony's memory stick, as well as SD media. I for one am looking forward to this new processor, as long as they leave the interface the same.
This isn't meant to be in defense of Palm or MS. Many people have pointed out that Microsoft has been giving out WinCE sources to MSDN subscribers (read: costs money). I just wanted to point out that Palm has given away the source for PalmOS for free for a very long time. All you had todo was register as a developer, plus, when you register as a developer, when Palm devices start to get out of date (Like the PalmVx...which I own) they start to sell them to developers for really low prices. This is really just to move over stocked warehouses, but still, its a discount.
And...MSDN costs HOW MUCH?! MSDN costs more per year than any of Microsoft's operating systems. So you've got the source, you aren't exactly free todo what you want with it, you can't legally modify it and give your friend a copy to try out.
"It's ok if I use the software because i stole it anyway"
It's not your $99 that keeps them on top, you're just one user not paying for a license, they have more to worry about. What you are doing is showing a demand for it, you're contributing to market share. Therefore, more people know how to use the product, so more companies use it...and companies rarely steal the software. Because its worth more to them to pay $99 than to get busted for piracy. So don't think by stealing their software you are somehow making an impact, by having absolutely nothing todo with them is what brings about change.
Hrm ok. First off you can filter out articles on topics you don't like. Second you can filter articles by score. Not that many people actually spam on slashdot, and the ones that do get modded lower than a limbo stick at carnival time (quote hermes conrad). I really don't think slashdot needs filters, and unlike email or pager spamming, no one is pushing thier opinions or ads into your personal mailbox, you have the option of not reading slashdot anymore if you don't like the opinions of people here.
This might be a little too late to get modded up. I work for Chase Bank in the collections department. Why isn't OUR legal right to contact people whenever we want, with whatever frequency we want. The fact is, we're contacting them for legit reasons, they owe us money. But if we contact them more than 2 times a week, and outside the hours of 8am-9pm it's considered HARASSMENT. Why can't spam be considered the same thing? I consider wasting of my time and bandwidth on someone i don't owe anything to harassment, and when there's no way to stop or track it, thats even worse. The fact is, spam might be free speech, but i have the right to not view that speech and spammers take that right away from me, because i have to read that speech just for the chance to be removed from it, and chances are even after i ask to be removed i won't be.
Heh, I'm not sure what "amusment park" you're talking about, but I'm guessing its that Family Fun something or another. That hardly ruined much, all it is, is 4 cages on polls. Besides if they got rid of that where would all the candy kids go to rub each other and roll around in the dirt. (Note: They used to, or maybe they still do, hold "raves" there. Though they were all over priced and half of the acts never showed up) Anyway, you also have to consider that most of that land is indian reservation, try to convince them to cover their land in solar panels for the good of the country's power grid, I'm sure you'll get a real positive response.
I noticed your terminal has a AUI port on the back, just pick up a tranciever on ebay, don't bother with the BNC, i got 5 aui trancievers for $20 on ebay
I give these tips to just about everyone looking for info on X-Terms or anything terminal related...And they can usually be applied to almost anything else you could ever think of by finding a different newsgroup:
Well first there's the standard google search...sometime helpful sometimes not.
But what i've found to be the most useful for finding info about old terminals is the usenet group comp.terminals
And last of all (not related to your machine) anyone with an old HP x-terminal might have a look at http://www.ductape.net/~brianm/xterm/ this is where i found the software for my HP 700/RX.
Anyway, sorry i couldn't be of more help. Good luck!
My only real suggestion if you really want reverse DNS is to go with a small ISP where you know a couple of the admins. I used to be with a company called inficad, i paid a $20 one time fee for the static IP (i was on dialup) and a friend of mine there did my forward and reverse DNS for me, it was really quite nice. Other than that you'll probably have to pay for the reverse, though I've heard if you get Cox@Work they give you full control over your IP and you can setup your own forward and reverse. Thats another thing a small ISP, where you know people, can do for you.
Windows XP (i'm a tester) does Windows Update automaticly by default. How would you like it if you sat down at your Windows XP machine one day and the mouse didn't work. You try everything and finally call tech support. Tech support tells you that the update was only meant for thier new WindowsXP-mouseless edition, and they'll have everything taken care of in 3 months so you just hold tight. Now your machine is still useful, but its not as useful as it used to be. Microsoft also tells you that you can't downgrade, it just won't work, it can't work. How do you feel now? You're not a revenue producing customer, since you've already paid them. The reason TiVo is doing anything at all is to keep a decent reputation, how likely would a friend of yours be to go out and buy a TiVo if you said to him
"I paid for this thing, it had all these cool features, but they took them away and said i can't have them back for three months"
Sendmail, free, Bind, free, Apache, Linux, FreeBSD...ALL free of charge. Tivo, $400. You might say "The $400 is for the hardware, software upgrades are free, just like with all that other software" The problem is, if something is very broken with all that other software you don't have to wait 3 months for an upgrade to fix it, there are alternatives available right now. Sendmail, Postfix. Bind, MaraDNS. Apache, a bunch. Linux, FreeBSD...well that would take forever. And its pretty obvious those aren't just "bugs" in 2.01, those are there to disable features, whether they meant it to happen to the 1.3 users or not.
Well there's the standard google search...sometime helpful sometimes not.
But what i've found to be the most useful for finding info about old terminals is the usenet group comp.terminals
And last of all (not related to your machines) anyone with an old HP x-terminal might have a look at http://www.ductape.net/~brianm/xterm/ this is where i found the software for my HP 700/RX
Sorry i couldn't be of more help and good luck finding the software, i know it can be a pain
Actually...if we wanna get technical about things. Windows NT ran on Alpha also up until Windows 2000 RC1, i still have Windows 2000 beta 3 for Alpha processors, although it was never released to the public....not that anyone would want to run it. And also, even though the StrongARM processor in this machine is probably 206mhz it really don't compare to a Pentium of similar mhz.
It doesn't say that anywhere in the article, where did you read that? Besides, companies trademark English words all the time. (read: Windows, Mobile, Ruffles)
Oh come on, slashdot isn't your personal tech support. This is research that could have been very very....very very very easily done on google, irc, usenet...calling a friend. Start with sendmail and you choice of imapds and there's tons (i mean just gobs) of perl scripts availible todo all of the things you want todo. I can't even believe this made ask slashdot. (Notice i'm not posting anon, i'm willing to give up karma for this)
A lot of the problem is that they _are_ incompetent. To start, the majority of middle and highschool use NT, and we've all worked with NT admins. Second, for the most part, you get what you pay for, and school districts don't pay much. Most of the time the admins have egos 6 times the size of thier heads and would rather be cracked 1000 times than ask for any help on _anything_. Take for example my district, awhile ago some kid was running l0phtCrack and had a big list of logins/passes....stored in his home dir. Me and my friend Bob are generaly considered the ones that "know what they're doing" So we were called down to the office to see if we knew anything about what was going on. We agreed that we wouldn't give any information until they gave us some about what was going on, because at the time we had no idea what was going on, we just knew the principal wanted to have a talk with us. So we let them tell us what was going on, then we told them how it worked. They asked us if we knew of any other problems, of course we did. The problem with all this is, 2 monthes before, we wanted a real IP for our freebsd box, not a 10.x.x.x. Well mruppel (your company's computer guy) wouldn't give us one. Even though the district owns over 4000 and uses less than 200. The point is, he wasn't nice to us once, and wouldn't even meet with us. We offered our services for A PIZZA, to this day, we haven't gotten called back down, no pizza, holes are still there. So yeah, school district computer guys are usually clueless and in our case, superior jerks. Screw em, let em keep the holes
You know you guys could at least goto the pages and read them before you post these things. For example, the mechanical hit counter. it says right on the guys page that he only has a 144k DSL link. Now how in the name of jebus do you expect his link to support that?
Because most new computers have at least that, and ram is cheap. Plus i have it installed on a 2.1gig 64meg laptop, disable a few services and it runs...well it runs. I'm only using it because i'm a tester, as soon as i get my final boxed its going right to compusa for an exchange.
Not only are those not beta 2 screenshots, they're not even the latest external interm builds. The previous interm build to b2 was 2458, those screenshots are of build 2428. This is noticable because of the scroll bars and in one of the screen shots you can make out the number 2428 in the lower right hand corner. Considering Beta2 was just released a few hours ago, you can tell they've based this entire review on 2428.
There is really no reason for customers to accept this. Copyright protection offers customers no benefit at all over devices with no copyright protection. The reason DVDs worked, even without the ability to copy them, is because they offered more than VHS did. If DVDs were the same quality and size as a VHS tape no one would have even consider them an option. This also applies to SMDI vs MP3. SMDI adds no new or exciting features to the existing MP3 format, sound quality is not better, nor is file size. For these new copy-protection enabled devices to work they must contain an entirely new technology that could not be accomplished with existing technology.
no matter what anyone says, VNC is _not_ a reasonable alternative to remote X sessions. Its slow and requires that the whole screen be displayed instead of just the one running program. For example, i use remote X to control my home mp3 player with gqmpeg, if i were using VNC i would have to look at the whole desktop, it wouldn't be transparent like this is. What VNC is good for is viewing Windows desktops in unix or other, since windows doesn't really have much remote admin to speak of. Seeing how my Windows box is 2 rooms over (i don't want to contaminate this room) VNC works out for me very well in that situation. There was actually just an ask/. about free Win32 x-servers alittle while ago. The one i like is X-Win32 which is available at www.starnet.com and while it isn't free it is a pretty good product.
um see, most people don't care if their TV can route packets and serve files, and i dont know anyone that cares to have a telephone attached to the TV. They look at this and go, "oh neat, a TV with the internet!" And it also says you can use any ISP, you aren't tied into theirs, although if you want the channel listing its $8.95 a month, you could just tune to the TV Guide channel or goto TV Guide.com.

Actually, the Palm m100 and 105 use plastic digitizers. I find they feel much different from my glass screen'd Vx
