There are some standard windows driver for SOME hp printers. Which never seems to be the case of the one you have in hand. But their driver downloads are in the order of magnitude of the hundreds of megabytes, and they install their own update services plus a crapload of stuff that you never use.
What I mean is that if there was no lawsuit and IF bsd succeeded as prof Tanembaum says, IBM and others could just take the code, do whatever they wanted with it and never give anything back to the community.
Which was not the case with linux. Linux grew a lot because people HAD to give something back.
Is BSD wasn't into that trouble, IBM and pretty much everybody else would take it for themselves and never give anything back to the community. For as much as I don't like to admit it, it was the gnu license which lead us here.
Yup, but the protocols for their own video calling system are open and published. You are welcome to implement your own alternative. Which no one did so far, AFAIK.
There IS NO channel load for SMS. Every time you phone says "hello, I'm here", it receives an equivalent of an ACK with SMS WITHIN THE SAME PACKET.
So you can receive as many sms as times as your network knows in which antenna you are, without using a single extra byte from them, because that would be zero-filled otherwise.
If there is such a thing as an immense scam right now, it is SMS.
2. Virtual Harddisk Support. VHD mounting in file system. (Too cumbersome/risky currently with command line "hacks").
You mean, "mount image -o loop"?
3. Better multi tasking, better video, less freezes, more responsive videos.
4. Import system for microsoft windows live mail/express ? Maybe it already exists ?;)
There is. You install thunderbird on windows - it will use the microsoft libraries to import the mails. After you have it on thunderbird's format, you are good to go.
Yes, I know. And I could not care less if the underlying layer is gnu/linux, mach3/nextstep, netBSD or a 32-bit CP/M. Thing is, Linux as a Kernel is a success on phones with Android (not sure about the GNU part though), and is being, and maemo is not because either it was not good enough or the people managing it made it flop, independently of apple.
What I mean is that those products failed on their own merits.
You mean, blackberry clones or something like openmoko?
Fact is, everybody copied apple for a reason. It was - and still seems to be - what people wanted. Some history lessons wouldn't hurt, as this is seems to be the pattern for a bit more than 30 years already.
Slashdot Mirror
I know. They have been using it, and developing it, since before mac os panther...
And it is a much smarter solution than 500MB+ hp printer drivers anyway.
I was referring to linux printer drivers, aka cups
No, they are apple's.

How can one do that and reach australia?

I am not implying anything. Tanembaum is.
That's EXACTLY my point.

Did you actually try the mac os' help? It is actually usable.
Where does microsoft use jabber?
Seriously? Wikipedia is your friend.

If you are bothered by it, did you do something?

AND... they receive animated GIF when the recipient is on wifi!
Sometimes, we stick with the same wife just to be pestered by her.
I use all of them Linux on the supercomputers and on my workstation, Mac at home and windows for msn messenger's webcam (seriously).
One click? Steam?

Let's hope so. It seems the pendulum is going to the other side in pretty much everything, not only software.
Exactly :-)

You must be new here... not.
www.fon.com - It uses its own version of dd-wrt, but you can just use the regular one.
Good things: the work they did over the original dd-wrt, usb port, torrent out of box, etc.
Bad things: no 5gz, ethernet is 100mpbs.
examples would be welcome.
