i emulate the internet on an old 386 in the basement. damned thing filled up with porn and websites about cats. had to take it down because the dog started going wild and the kid next door always was creeping into the basement leaving strange stains on my workbench. oh well.
even people who have spent their life trying to design the best user interfaces have made mistakes too. take a look at jef raskin's (designer of the mac interface) canon cat as an example.:)
i'm wondering when the last time you ran winmx was... i'm not going to say they are great ui designers, but i think my grandmother could make it work w/o my help. perhaps you should take another look at a recent version.
uggh. so i wonder what their version of 'adult swim' will be? 'super happy fun tentacle rape scenario' or something? yeah, what we've all ben waiting for... i was happy toon network got rid of it...
much more to the name than you might know...

Halloween VII

WTF? Does Microsoft huddle around every Halloween with some loser intern who has loose lips? It is getting kind of silly that these things keep 'slipping' out of their offices each Halloween...
P.S. Am I the first person on Slashdot that understands the difference between looser and loser and their, there and they're? Methinks I am.:)
and learn the piano (guitar, xylophone, kazoo, cello, tooba, etc.) in 12 easy steps so that i don't have to pay these fools for their music? now i wish i payed attention to those lessons as a kid. all i got now is a casio that i can't play (like everyone else). well i guess i better start crackin'. every good boy deserves favor!
forgive me for my ignorance, but does it do an md5 or something to make sure you are getting the 'approved' version instead of something that might be trojaned? just seems like a good way to spread something like that across the network.
intel would do well to purchase transmeta. intel could use transmeta's tech for maintaining x86 backward compatibility in the itanium while not requiring a nuclear reactor to power the damn thing.
via would do well to buy it add the tech to their cyrix chips for low power consumer tech equipment (fast chips in set top boxes).
i can't really think of what it would benefit amd other than name recognition, but transmeta hasn't been much of a strong name in the industry other than their mysterious pre-launch...
yeah i discovered this after i posted it... however, regardless of the project, i think this is good for people to know about, at least so they know there are options. here's a few of the previous articles on the subject (in order of appearance):
so there ya go. with enough support these projects (or derivatives) will hopefully make it so that my grandmother doesn't have to read 20 porn emails on aol everyday. that is the ultimate goal of spam filtering right? =)
btw, i posted about popfile specifically because it was one of the first filters that i saw that didn't require me to be know how to compile source code or have a linux system etc... i knew there were others (in various forms of completion) out there, but this one worked for me without mucking around (which explains the title of the article).
speaking of which... has anyone subscribed to safari books online (or the o'reilly flavor of it)? what do you think of it? is it worth the cash? i like to have a book in hand, so i'm on the fence w/ this, however i like the fact that i have access to lots of books...
this is exactly my thought. for people who live in houses that are close to others, or in apartment complexes say, they have a bit of (poor) security provided by WEP and a bit of (imaginary) security by the very nature of the low power antenna provided by linksys, d-like, etc. however when you start cranking that power up you're worries are going to crank up too. in the ask slashdot question a few days ago about replacing wep wireless security there weren't any good conclusive answers about what joe and jane sixpack can do to set up a relatively secure wireless network w/o being network or security engineers. i can install locks on my door and have a reasonable assurance of privacy, but i can't get something analogous for my network...
i think he was being fecetious... xml is great for some things, but the industry media makes it sound like it is the tie that binds the whole damn thing together...

well u could remove the threat completely with the help of a three letter friend.
it'll be fixed in a new xdarwin release i'm sure. however it doesn't really surprise me though...

For adding (or changing) an LED in your mouse called Project Iris. Cheap and easy mod that looks nice too.

Windows for Pen Computing is what you were thinking of... Just another case of what's old is new again (like unix, clustering, etc...)
btw, can someone tell me what the heck postgres means? or where it comes from? thanks

ego's, mismanagement, unreal market goals and shitty games...
too many programmers with too many egos
a couple of programmers who start a company often don't know squat about management or hiring it
games marketed to platforms that aren't large enough to support them are bound for failure
"Only people of the press say my game isn't good, their opinion isn't important anyway"
i'll let you put 2 and 2 together.
