> To use a telephone, you go to the local thrift store, spend $5 on a phone, and plug it into the wall to get reliable telephone service.
Yes, to use your OWN telephone. But if you want to telecommute and be on the corporate PBX, VoIP is the ultimate solution. You can have the same number for days when you are in the office, at home, or on travel. All calls you make come out of your office PBX and not your home phone.
Does this mean that the unix Sybase/FreeTDS ODBC drivers under Unix will no longer be able to connect to MS SQL? Will MS offer any unix/linux ODBC drivers?
And HBO costs $14/month (bundled with all their specialty packages, including HBO Family and HBO Latino). And for that, you get a lot of content produced not by HBO but by Hollywood, and one night a week of their original series.
Oh, and it's usually cheaper if you bundle with Cinemax, Starz or Showtime.
Because Network television is already geared towards the lowest common denominator. Under this plan, your channel would either have to appeal to the highest paying demographic (males, 18-35) or be taken off the air.
Why not just put Clear Channel in charge of television.
> I, for one, will be switching to DirecTV if they don't get this figured out.
Until this past Christmas, I had been a Dish subscriber for several years. When I initially signed up, they were offering a single receiver and dish (installed) for free with a 1 year contract. Nowadays both Dish and DirecTV offer up to five rooms and the dish (installed) for free, but only for new customers.
Since I already had Dish, the only way to get a multi-room system at no cost was to switch. This was the smartest move I ever made. I keep asking myself why Dish Network wasn't able to make their UI work like DirecTV.
For example, when I hit "Guide" on the Dish system, I'd get the current and next programs available while it downloaded the next few hours of the guide. While it downloaded, no Picture-in-Picture was available. If you scroll two far aheard, the download starts over PiP disappears again.
On DirectTV, I hit guide and PiP works and I have several days of programming available without waiting.
That is only the most obvious and glaring defeciency of Dish Network. I can't think of a single advantage Dish had over DirectTV. The only reason Dish had me for so long was because I always assumed they were basically the same. Switch today!
Actually, tvtwm. Yes, I've used it. I also used (and continue to use) its successor, "ctwm".

RTFA. You do not need permission, you simply have to pay the established royalty.
Once a musician has released a song commercially, Harvard Law School professor Jonathan Zittrain notes, other acts are free to perform
and record [emphasis added] their own versions of the song -- as long as they pay the songwriter a standard royalty. That's why so many bands are able to play their takes on tunes like "Take the A Train" or "Louie, Louie."
I believe this bug is fixed if 2.4 line. I'm using 2.4.24, but I think it's been around since 2.4.21 or earlier.
You have to select "Code maturity level options" and say "y" to "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers". Then, under "SCSI support", say "y" to "Enable extra checks in new queueing code".
At my work, they have sensors by the doors that can tell if two people try and pass with one card (and automatically lock the inner door, trapping you until security unlocks it).
It will also get triggered if you carry a brief case or bag too low (where the sensor is). I guess it thinks the bag is a third leg.
Well, the court order says that the company handling the claims will notify everyone who submitted a claim via msfreepc.com that their claim was rejected. Further, the msfreepc.com FAQ says that they intend to honor claims regardless of what the court decides.
What is the "good" way for me to get my usb-storage digital camera to work? Or for that matter my USB harddrive?
USB hard-drives, digital cameras, even all-in-one printers work the same way, so once you've solved it for one you've solved for all. The only headache I have is that/dev/sda will always be the first thing you plug in after a reboot...
Not to mention that skipping 2/3 means they're still seeing 1/3. And since commercials tend to play in heavy rotation, they're probably still seeing most of the commercials.
Besides, non-Tivo watchers aren't watching 100% of the commercials either. While you still "see" the commercial with a VCR, few advertisers have effectively altered their commercials to have any impact without sound and in fast forward. Not to mention the people that get up and leave the room during the commercial.
Anyways, I've always said the networks use their bugs and crawls backwards. During the commercial, the screen should look like Bloomber TV with sports scores, weather, news and a commercial in the middle. That way, people have an incentive to NOT skip the commercial.

They are already doing that in Arlington, VA.
I'd leave it completely diskless and put a Knoppix CD in.

If they would only modify patent law so that they expire in 5 years from filing date, I think we'd finally be in pretty good shape.

Ok, fair enough. I do have a binary installed on my machine with a March, 1995 timestamp. All this is still a lot earlier than 2002!

> 2.) gnutella... napster first.
Ok, but gnutella really was an innovation (albeit the obvious one). Namely, it was really peer-to-peer. Napster relied on a central server.

However, you're more likely to find a computer with USB hardware than Firewire.
There are, however, enclosures that will support both Firewire and USB.

I don't believe it does. I have machines that access USB Mass Storage Devices and do not have IDE-SCSI enabled.
You could boot from a USB flash drive...

Yes, wasn't it a virus that spread amongst the robots in Westworld.
Heck, just a quick search on shopper.cnet.com shows it as low as $269 (after $20 rebate/free shipping).
