This is really nothing now. From what I could tell from the video of Doug Englebart's Famous 1969 Interface Demo, His system had a similar sound generation to tell the status of the system.
It had sounds for clicking the mouse, and also had a constant tone that would tell if the system was actively processing a system task or not. I believe that it also had a sound if an error occured, but It's been awile since i saw the video.
Actually I have been thinking of making a program to do a similar task through the PC speaker but never actually sat down to see if it could be done.
It's nice that sound is starting to come back as a quick way to access the status of a system.
YET, here we have AOL knowing about a problem for MONTHS and not fixing it?
If I remembrer correctly, Microsoft, Before They got out of the AIM Network to concentrate on their own IM Userbase, Mentioned that there was a huge security hole in AIM and AOL Blew it off as MS FUD. Maybe they knew about it all along and kept it a secret figuring that someone would find it eventually.
Personally, I use MSN Messanger. I used to use ICQ then AOL Got hold of it and turned it into the ultimate example of bloatware. How many people can remember when it was a 1.4 meg download? I think it's up to 6 Megs now, has all kind of stupid things like web servers and greeting cards that are almost never used, and they made the E-mail notification into a full featured POS E-mail program that never would read E-mail because it would always screw up the Downloading of headers. and I never used AIM for obvious reasons (It's From AOL)
The only IM Clients I would Even touch right now is Yahoo Messanger and MSN Messanger. and since MSN Messanger currently has exactly what ICQ had before it became a bloat monster, Thats the one I Use
What do you think Intel, A multibillion company with money to burn, is going to do once they get hit with these royalities. Keep in mind that Intel is not too happy at Rambus right now, especially becasue they will not reliquinsh the royalities so manufactures would more redily produce RDRAM for the P4.
When this is all said and done, Intel is going to end up buying out Rambus and releasing all the Rambus specs royality free. Why? The reason for this is obviously that if RDRAM suddently gets cheaper and more redily avaliable Intel has a lot to gain in the form of chipset and processor sales. Especially when their the only ones working with Rambus right now
The Microsoft Ad isn't Targeting the Kernel versions of Linux as much as the various Distros. of Linux. It's attacking the fact that their's Red Had, SuSe, Mandrake, Turbolinux and the like. and that their all have their own upgrade path and design
All of the windows have different kernel's running them. windows 3.1's kernel is different from the 95 kernel, which is different from the 98 kernel, which is different from the ME kernel, and the NT 3.1 kernel is different from the 3.5 kernel, which is different from the 4.0 Kernel, which is different from the 2000 Kernel.
This ad is still not accurate because Microsoft does the same thing with win2k. in the form of professional, server, advanced server and datacenter server. the only thing i caould think of this ad targeting is the fact that their is many linux providers making different linux's for different needs, where Microsoft is your one stop place to get the OS you neeed for your business.
Why charge people $5 a month when they could do exactly what Blizzard did with Diablo's Battle.net system and show an ad banner on the bottom of Napster every 5 minutes or so. It would be a target market because Napster deals solely with Music and It would be easy to implement because Napster already has a Web Browser built in it.
I mean, if you got 20 million or so users, if they all clicked on a banner once a month at.25 Cents a Banner that comes out to 5 Million Dollars revenue per month and all that profit is transparent to the user.
an AC writes "According to a German news report, MSNBC has produced a poll for the most popular operating system. This time, Linux had 86% (126.500) of the vote, and miraculously Windows had only 14% by sunday evening (European time). It appears that 18.500 votes came in on Sunday - all of them for Windows." Finally, a Windows Biased Poll that shows the true popularity of Linux!
Question. If Word uses IE to get the information on a word document, would that tranaction be covered under IE's security Settings?
As for the bug itself, It dosen't surprise me because it's Microsoft's model of making software. The reason Microsoft software is like that is because their programming model insists that if a module already exists on the system, use it. This isn't a bad model to follow because it keeps program size to a minimum but it does raise security issues.
Everything That Microsoft makes nowadays intergrates with everything else Microsoft Makes. It's what businesses want. They dont want to have to switch applications around when they want to send a word document in E-mail for example. they just want to push a button, which turns word into an E-mail program and send the mail. The problem with this is that MS does not think of the possible security implications when they do this.
Their biggest focus right now should be a system wide global security model that intergrates into all of their software products, but as of yet, nothing like this exists. The only product that has security right now is IE, and even it's lackluster at best. Win2k is really close to this but it still leaves the remote Internet part of the machine behind. ALthough you could set it up so that a user could log in and do absoletly nothing from there, including logging off and even seeing a start menu for that matter.
Their main security focus is Local System security when in reality it should be focused on Both local and remote security
Actually another question should be asked. This probably would fall under #3 but it is somewhat relevlent to the story
5: When was the employee hired and when did this person's employment with Microsoft end?
The reason this should be asked is if the employee was fired sometime last year, he is out of the loop of Microsoft's current server configurations. Obviously in 1999 they wouldn't want win2k touching a server because it was still in beta stage. Hotmail would still be 99% BSD and the other companies were recently bought out by Microsoft.
A couple of weeks ago I went to one of those Microsoft OEM Shows. In their own presentation they said that WinNT sucked. Having only a week or two as uptime. Of course Win2k Crushed that and outlasted the full 90 day test. (The Test was independent. I cant remember who published the results but it was a Windows Friendly magazine and no Unix's were used in the test)
Currently, their trying to move Hotmail slowly to win2k and they are starting to use it for their higher traffic sites. Keep in mind that they do not want to fix something that is not broken, and their going to let the old Unix boxes serve those sites that they bought out until such time that they can change them over to their own OS without having to take down the site for a week or two.
This Basicially sums up as the Only thing I could stand to watch with the Thundercats in it.
Keep in mind that these are the actual Voice Actors of the show and they also ironicially did the voices for the Silverhawks. There are also a couple of sound bytes for the Silverhawks lying around as well but I could never find them again after I downloaded them
Although I don't blame Microsoft for Doing what they did, I do blame them for providing the death knell for the command line interface.
That was one of the Weaknesses in NT. When NT's Graphical user interface crashed you couldn't access files in any way because there was no command prompt. the only option was to reinstall NT, which is a painful task in it's own right. This is why win2000 has a command line now. Microsoft realized that even thought it was outdated, it serves it's purpose when a major system error occurs.
A command prompt is also useful for remote administration. One of Linux's main strenghts is the ability to administer a Linux system just about anywhere with any computer that has internet or dial up access. NT was a pain to administer remotely because it had no telnet abilities and even when it did it was powerless without the GUI. They also realized this in win2k but they still have a long way to go if they want to catch up to the powerful command line Linux Has.
Sometimes a GUI Makes sense, but sometimes a Command Line makes more sense
I might as well get this thing on again while the comment count is still low. It's basicially a message post poll.
Would anyone here pay $5 a month to use napster if that allowed you to download any and as many songs as you want as well as letting you share and and as many songs as you like?
The way I see it, the RIAA says that they lost 300 million dollars between now and this decenber. based on 20 million napster users and 7 months, if every napster user paid $2.50 a month, the 300 million would have been paid off by now.
just about the same thing happened for me. Basicially from preview to movie this is what happened.
1st Commericial: Put Titan AE Rating at 10. Must see second only to X Men.
2nd Commercial. Little More detail on movie graphics but no storyline giveaways. Still not rated. Still looked awesome.
3rd Commericial. Started introducing Primary characters. Hints on some of the storyline. Still looks awesome.
4th Commercial. Introduces some more sotryline. starting to get the basic layout of the film. Introduces you to a few of the secondary characters. This is where it goes downhill. I swear I saw A Jar-Jar Clone in there somewhere.
5th Commercial. PG Rating. lost a ton of points right there. I mean. if your going to have a brutal war going on, at least have some Brutality in it that can constitute a PG13 rating at least.
6th Commerical to release: Every time I see these, I think yeah it looks great, but I keep thinking that their trying to attract Mouseketters instead of trying to attract an Anime Crowd.
Movie Released. Did not go see. mainly because it was gone in 6 days. they replaced it with another movie destined for the crapper, "Rocky and Bullwinkle". then they replaced that with "Space Jam" (!!).
Considering that there is a lot more anime news on the site now, maybe it's time anime had it's own topic on slashdot. I know the Four Star Dragonball would make a cool Icon for it:)
Interesting. The Auto-Negotion would have a possible affect if the hub/switch cannot support a 1G/sec transfer rate, because it would negoiate either a 100M/sec or a 10M/sec connection based on what the hub/switch could handle
what is Really interesting however is the fact that the Linux system gets the 1G/s Fibre Network and the Win2k gets the CAT 5. I was always told that the Fibre networks are better because their is less crossover and more reliable connections overall. My question is that why didn't they release these tests using the same Idenital hardware, Especially when the hardware is critial to the benchmark they are trying to obtain.
The other thing I noticed about this was that the controller cards and hard drives were different as well, although this could have little to no factor to the test, I'd feel a little more confortable with these tests if they used the same machine and hardware.
DBZ and they must be Subtitled. IMHO You are wasting your time watching the English dubbed. You'd be suprised how much senseless violence they take out of one episode. Basicially if you want the swearing, the burtal mindless destruction of just about anything, Bulma smoking Lucky Strikes, the Afterlife, Beer, Old pervert men, Hell Brothers, Mr Satan, Hitler's army, and just about anything else that drives a censor to the looney bin. go with the subs. The Slayers. All Seasons RPG like with a ton of comedy. basicially a group of three to five people go around destroying and eating everything in their path and save the world every once in awile. Funny as hell. Those Who hunt Elves Like Slayers but even more screwed up. basicially a group of four people are stripping Female Elves in order to find spell fragments. Personally, i think this is the first anime I've seen where the Dubbed version was better than the subtitled version. Not to Mention I want the tank that thinks it's a Cat.
Would you pay up to $10 a month to use Napster if it would allow you to share and download any and as many mp3's as you want without having the RIAA breathing down your neck.
Just in case anyone here wants to write A Operating System Bug report to a News Agency, I figured This Post would help them out on the Proper Format to use
If It's a Linux operating System
--------------------------------
1) State the bug
2) State What The bug Does
3) State the Fix
4) Praise Linux and all it's Distro's
5) State how beneficial the OSS Community is because the Bug was Fixed in two Hours.
If it's a Microsoft Operating System
------------------------------------
1) State the bug
2) State What The bug Does
3) State the Seriouness of the bug, usually by some Security Firm.
4) State Why Microsoft Included the Bug in Their Operating System
5) Talk About the Microsoft Trial and an up to date record on how many people are suing them.
6) Talk about how they are competing with linux.
7) Have Interviews with Microsoft Competitors on how Crappy Windows is and How they destroyed our companies Profits
8) Call Microsoft to get a no comment or "we're working on it" Response.
9) State how Bad Microsoft Technicial Support is because the Bug took 2 Hours to fix.
10) State The fix
11) State how the Fix will not work, or will make another part of the Operating System not work.
12) Praise Linux and all it's Distro's
Hope this helps all of you news guys out there write better bug reports and report news objectively.
That's an interesting comparison, Especially since a friend of mine made DBZ characters for his WWF Attitude game on the Playstation. He didn't just make one or two, But 30!!. We used to let the CPU go nuts in a Royal Rumble match and watch it for 30 minutes to see who would come out on top. Suprising Mr Popo walked away with the win once.
The best matches were the 16 man stable Hardcore Finisher only matches in my opinion. Vegeta always used the kick ass in those.
The biggest Upset was we Finally got Goku to win the title belt. he defended it by beating three characters. (Majin buu, Frieza and Recoom) Then He finally made Chi Chi and she proceded to kick Goku's Ass and won by submission:).
If your wondering. The characters that closely resembled the counterpart were Gohan (dressed like Great Sayanman), Mr Popo, Trunks, Nappa, Piccolo, Nail and Mr Satan. The other Ones matched very well too, just these particular ones made you think that the programmers has this in mind for create a wrestler.
On a side note. In Wrestlemania 2000 for the N64, one of the many Taunts is the Spirit Bomb! Too bad we couldn't make a good Goku for it.
If i'm going to have to put up with Ad's on my Cell phone 24/7, At least make it so you get unlimited Access and Unlimited Calling as well as the Cell Phone for Free.
Then it might actually make some sense. Otherwise...
I worked for a Computer Repair shop for about 5 months now. Here's the Breakdown on the Brand Names of Drives that come in Crashed that I've seen so far.
90% Western Digital - at least 20 that I can think of offhand 8% JTS (which are out of business) - 2 of these 2% Seagate - I know of 1 that had bad sectors
As of yet I've seen no Maxtor, Fujitsu, IBM, Quantum, Samsung or any other manufacture's hard drive crash. Although I've heard alot of bad things about the Maxtor Drives and the Quantum Bigfoot's Crashing. and I know from personal Experience that some old IBM Drives, (and I'm talking 10-15 year old PS/2 Hard Drives) were crap.
We would sometimes get WD drives that came fresh out of a box, stick it in a machine, and it would be damaged. My boss Had to deal with a company for a week because They bought a WD Enterprise Drive for their mission critial Server and it crashed. It Wasn't even a year old!
If I had a choice of any drive today, Hands Down I would have to go with the IBM Drive. If I had a second choice, I would probably go with a Samsung or a fujitsu.

So exactly how are the Russians going to fund this thing? It's not like they got money to blow all over the place.

"DBZ: Journey to the West meets the WWF"
:).
That's an interesting comparison, Especially since a friend of mine made DBZ characters for his WWF Attitude game on the Playstation. He didn't just make one or two, But 30!!. We used to let the CPU go nuts in a Royal Rumble match and watch it for 30 minutes to see who would come out on top. Suprising Mr Popo walked away with the win once.

I've got to say, this doesn't suprise me one bit.
I worked for a Computer Repair shop for about 5 months now. Here's the Breakdown on the Brand Names of Drives that come in Crashed that I've seen so far.
90% Western Digital - at least 20 that I can think of offhand
8% JTS (which are out of business) - 2 of these
2% Seagate - I know of 1 that had bad sectors
As of yet I've seen no Maxtor, Fujitsu, IBM, Quantum, Samsung or any other manufacture's hard drive crash.

We would sometimes get WD drives that came fresh out of a box, stick it in a machine, and it would be damaged. My boss Had to deal with a company for a week because They bought a WD Enterprise Drive for their mission critial Server and it crashed. It Wasn't even a year old!
If I had a choice of any drive today, Hands Down I would have to go with the IBM Drive. If I had a second choice, I would probably go with a Samsung or a fujitsu.
